CHAPTER XVII.

BY the Banks of the Pharphar.
Half an hour after AL Abbas had
resumed his place at the head of his
troop, the same robber who had be-
fore come from the rear, again rode
to the front, this time bringing intelli-
gence that number Of horsemen were
pursuing them The chief drew his
horse aside and looked back, and saw
four men coming. They were we'll
mounted, and seemed to be In hot pur-
suit
There Is something more than ac-
cident in this" said AL Abbas. "The
fellow is with them who followed us
before"
Two Of those men are white" re-
marked the robber who had ridden
up from the rear. What can they
want Of us?''
Never mind" returned the chief.
If they want us, let them catch us.
And II. beyond that. they want more,
let them make their wants known"
Thus speaking, the Arab leader re-
sumed his place. and urged his horses
forward with increasing speed. Ever
and anon he cast his eyes behind him.
and It was ere long evident that the
strangers were rapidly gaining upon
him.
I'VE may a. well stop now as at any
time." said Al Abbas. addressing the
man who rode by his side. II will
halt and ascertain what these fellows
want. It IL about time our horses
had breathing spell"
At q simple order from their chief,
the Arabs wheeled their horses In a
circle. bringing up In line. facing their
pursuers. with their prisoners in the
rear.

Ex-Governor Newelrs Medical Opinion
Turned Jersey Delegates.
Friends of the late William A. New
ell, once Governor of New Jersey, have
recalled an old story in which he fig
ures as the rock upon which the Pres
idential hopes of James G. Blaine
were wrecked in 1876 The ex-Gover-
nor, who was physician as we'll as a
politician, was a delegate to the Re-
publican national convention in that
year. and he was prominent among
those members of the New Jersey dele
CATION who favored Mr.. Blaine's nom
ination. While the struggle for the
various aspirants was in progress, the
news came that Mr.. Blaine had been
stricken with what was variously de-
scribed as apopleXy and sunstroke.
This event was eagerly seized upon
by the two or three Jersey delegates
who favored Mr.. Conkling, and these.
hearing that DR.. Newell had expressed
fear that the effects OF such a
stroke" as Mr.. Blaine had suffered
might seriously and permanently affect
his mental faculties, saw an oppor-
tunity, as they thought, to help their
candidate. They secured conference
of the delegation, and, when it had
met, they called upon the Ex-Governor
to give his opinion, as medical man.
as to whether, in the circumstances,
1t would be prudent to nominate the
Maine statesman. The answer, given
with extreme reluctance and regret,
and of course entirely sincere, was in
the negative. Mr. Blaine's hold upon
the New Jersey delegates was imme-
diatcly broken, but their votes ulti-
mately went not to Mr.. Conkling, but
to Mr. Hayes. Those who like to as
cribe great effects to small causes saw
at the time, in the inaccurate, long
distance diagnosis Of DIR. Newell the
explanation of Mr.. Blaine's failure to
reach the Presidency. for they say
that, though he was defeated In 1884.
II he had been nominated in 1876 he
would have been elected.-New York
Times.

AT the end of some two or three
hours the party came to thick grove
OF palms; near which was spring,
and here they stopped just long
enough to water the horses. They
had started on again, and were at
some little distance from the grove,
when one OF the Arabs who rode in the
rear came forward and informed his
leader that horseman was following
them. AL Abbas looked back and saw
tnat the stranger was a black, and
that he rode q swift and powerful
horse.
He wishes to overtake u.s." said
the fellow who had come from the
rear
Then he must ride for it," returned
the chief. Il cannot stop. I wonder
where he came from"
When | first saw him, he seemed
to have just emerged from the grove. :"
In a short time the strange horse
man had come SO near that the light
| OF his eyes could be seen, and AL Abb
bas saw that he must soon overtake
them; so he concluded to drop behind
and find out what was wanted, evil
IDENTIFY desiring that the men should
not see what manner Of prizes he had
in charge, at least until his character
was known. The robbers were directed
to slacken their speed a little, but to
keep on their course, and having given
this order, the chief turned his horses
head and rode back; and ere long he
was within speaking distance Of the
stranger, who proved to be a stout,
well-nade man, with face as black
as night.
"Hallo!" cried AL Abbas, refining in
his horse. who are you?"
Il am king of this plain" replied
the African, at the same time refining
in his own horse; "and l have come
out to see who thus trespasses upon
my domain. Who are you -
The Arab hesitated in his answer,
as he supposed the black must be
crazy.
who are you, and what sort of
company do you lead?" cried the At
rican.
Il lead my own company; and If
you want anything, come and get it"
answered the Arab.
Il want nothing but to know who
you are; and the next time you come
this way, be sure and stop again at
the grove of the date-palms. l will
have banquet prepared for you."
Thus speaking, the stranger wheeled
his horse in broad circle, and started
back towards the place whence he had
come.
and when they asked him what man
ner of man he had met, he replied
that 1t was only poor crazy fool, who
imagined that he owned the broad
plain upon which they were travelling.
'He is worth capturing" suggested
one of the robbers.
I'VE could not capture him If We
would" said the chief. "He rides
better horse than We own"
While the Arabs were gazing back
after the retiring horseman Abba drew
close to the side of her mistress and
spoke, quickly and excitedly:
did you recognize him?"
"Whom?"
"The crazy man who followed u.s."

"It was Osmir!"
"Osmir!"
"Hush! Not a word AS sure as |
live 1t was Osmir: and be assured we
have help at hand"
"But he has gone"
AYE, for he only came out to see
who we were. Be sure he has recog-
nized US"
Ulin felt her heart bound up with
springing hope; and her next prayer
was uttered with returning faith in
heavens protecting power.

he spoke to her:

the back Of his horse. and ere the prin-

''But you think so?''
II cannot deny it."
"And you thought SO before you

Il feared something Of the kind"
Al Abbas overheard the girls as they
thus conversed, and he was presently
by their side.
Lady Ulin," he said, and he spoke
sternly and sharply; "you are now ON
the move and when you stop again it
will be far away from Damascus. I
owe something to the officers OF that
city. and will repay a part of the
debt by taking you away from them.

grasped the bow Of her saddle for sup
port.

as she could. There may be some
way to escape The good spirits will
