er told me about the poor heather
that l was ready to give up hundred
dollars of my own money and even go,
out and borrow more to send to the
heather. But the minister preached
too long, and my enthusiasm began to-
drop about $25 drop till there was
nothing left for the poor heather, and
by the time he was through and the,
collection was taken up / stole ten

admiration Colonel Lufkin, you-you-
you-are wonder! take off my hat to you,
he exclaimed.
Lufkin smiled with pleased complacency.
"Then it's understood" he continued
1.-The young lady will be at the station in time
to mingle with the crowd from the express
My wife will meet her, and then we'll have the
wedding the next morning!"
1t is understood, sir, said Weir, as he
babe his friends good night. Nothing can
stop us now
"Nothing," said Lufkin, unless Haleb
Bey is keener than we think"
But Weir was too happy to entertain fears
of Haleb Bey, and as he walked home he pic
tured what life in America would be with
Rhasneh. He was in the seventh heaven OF
contentment when he was suddenly brought
face to face with the stern reality OF things
lust as he was turning into the dinly lighted
street that led to his hotel, he heard peculiar
whistle behind him. The noise arrested his
attention for moment, because 1t sounded
familiar to him. He had heard it before, and
even imagined that it might be the call OF
some friend. He turned, but could see no
one. The street was empty; but as he paused
the whistle was given again. At this point
anyone more accustomed than Weir to Con-
stantinople and its ways would have gone
busilv, not to say speedily, on his way; but
this American was of an inquisitive nature.
:" If some brigand wants to flirt with me- ne
thought as he walked in the direction of the
sound, cit would not be gallant of me to run"
He stopped again for the sound to be re-
peated, and heard an answering whistle a hun
bred yards up the street. Then in an instant
Weir realized where he had heard the same
signal before. Once on the Bosporus when
another kazck had collided with his, and at
another time when he had felt obliged to give
Haleb Bey an unexpected bath in the river.
Colonel Lufkin was right. So my friends
have been following me' he muttered be-
tween his set teeth. We'll, this time they'll
have little for their money"
Then, smiling to himself grimly Weir whistled
the signal in reply. The imitation was good
one; for in an instant man darted out from
the shadow of wire fence only a few feet
away. 1t was too dark to distinguish features
the American. Weir waited until the man
