she added quickly, Yesterday I to see
Hanum Rhasneh whom love very much, and who
loves too She felt that in justice this must
not be omitted. And she gave me this box for
parting gift, because have gone away from
Therapia for the winter; but l gave her nothing,
because am little and have nothing of my own,
except dolls, which do not think Hanum Rhasneh
would care to have, although she likes to make
clothes for them She ended her explanation
somewhat breathless, afraid lest the old Pasha
would think her unceremonous to have accepted
gift without giving in return.
Takshan Pasha smiled he had hardly smiled
since he had told Rhasneh of her approaching mar
rage Xeny, encouraged, continued
When Monsieur Mavrocorthato, my father,
this box, he wanted to write to you and send it back
because he said it too costly. So bring it back
to Hanum Rhasneh myself"
Takshan Pasha really hurt Young hanum,
he said, whatever Hanum Rhasneh chooses to
give her friends is her pleasure, and mine also
He drew from his pocket string of large amber

him to accept it as small token of my esteem for

of the gifts.

in which the object of her visit had been frus-
trated by Takshan Pasha. As the little Greek girl
talking of the box she shook it gently between
her hands, and her eyes cleaned significantly. Yet in
spite of all this talk about the box, when Xeny
to go, after short vist-snce with only maid she
could not be out after dusk-she left the precious
gift behind.
Rhasneh wildly aware of its desertion, did not
say anything till Xeny out of the room Then
she appeared to notice it for the first time and
after her guest to restore it to her. though it would
have been more dignifed and have served the same
purpose to have sent it by slave. Not quite the
same purpose, though, for was she away
from her fathers eyes than she snatched the letter
from its conceament and thrust it into her BOSOM
1t was well carried out maneuver, and Xeny
went away with malicious of pleasure at
having the box and not bearing letter All the
way home, moreover, she specialized as to what her
father would do with the amber beads. She said
nothing of them to her mother, when she found that
her father had not yet returned. Impatently she

let the gifts pass without further words. Thank
you, great Pasha, for the presents; and am sure
papa will think highly of your token to him.
To herself she smiled as she spoke; for she knew
that her father dsliked intensely to receive gifts
and have to give thanks for them. She speculated
what he would do with them, since he was one of
the younger Greeks who did not initiate the Turks
in carrying them around with him. She wondered if
she could not get them for herself
Now let go in and see my daughter; for am
my way there too, Takshan Pasha said.
They went into Rhasneh's sitting room together;
and Xeny's wounded pride of the morning
avenged at the thought that on her departure she

But already the yellow amber was

found its permanent resting place
that it stif1ed all aspirations for their
possession by Others.

No, because you are Bishop.

The Bishop laughed; but Xeny
was sent to her room, her precious
box in her hand; and since there was
no letter, her little heart was free
from care and quite content.

he appealed to her. "Xeny!' he
said frantically, how does this
thing open?"
Xeny took the box with superior
air, and turned it over and over IN
imitation of HIM 1t is a very
beautiful box" she commented with
mischievous deliberation, and if you
put your finger on this petal, and
turn it around so, monsieur will get
his letter"
Weir laughed at the airs of the
little girl, as he took the letter; but
his laugh was cut short by the first
words of Rhasneh's that fell under
his eyes For a moment he was
dumfounded. Was he to lose her,
after all? he asked himself, as he
strobe up and down the room, OBJ
livious to everything except the
tumult within him Then he sat
down and began to write. He urged
Rhasneh to flee with him at once.
The Blakes would marry them, he
wrote - unconsciously associating
Grace with her husband in his cleri-
cal office-and then his yacht would
bear them away to safety and happi-
ness.

he almost snapped.
Il must return the box this after
noon,' she answered simply.
He nodded approval; but as they
walked back Xeny was not pleased
with his American manners. He
was too preoccupied. His words
came too curt and quick. He did
not pay enough attention to her. 1t
was almost as if he valued her only

 IL appears that some of the Democrats Of Fayetteville want primary called to nominate a city ticket, while there are other Democrats who oppose the pri- mary and are Tn favor of ticket irrespective of politics. The City Central Committee held two meetings some time ago to con- Slder the question of calling q primary, and three members of the committee favored the pri- mary and three opposed it, so no primary was called. Those fav- oring the primary appealed to Chairman Young of the County Committee, and he filed a certifi- cate with the county clerk, ap- proved by the Executive Commit tee of the County Democratic Central Committee, calling q city primary for March T. The members of the city committee opposed to primary J. Will son, (. H. Bell and P. F. David son-in public card character ize the action of Chairman Young and his associates as un- warranted and further that there will be no Democratic primary in Fayetteville on March q.
 The following Democrats have announced themselves as candi- dates for office, to be voted upon at the April election, saying that Chairman Young's action IS an unheard of and arbitrary assump- ton of authority which we do not recognize:' C.
