The Red Rule Of Sultan AbduI

70 say that the story Of Abdul Ha-
mid reads like a romance is to do it
injustice. No romance ever dared to
depict such a Gehenna of darkness
and hate as the history of this more
than Oriental despot. From his IN
fancy he inspired fear and repulsion.
and we are told that his father even
gave orders that the child should new
er be brought to him in the morning,
lest he might cast i'll luck over tne
whole day. He was, it is said, the
son Of an Armenian slave girl, who
renowned Christianity for Islam and
danced her way into the favor Of
Abdul Mejid. That wise and liberal
ruler was succeeded by the wild and
tempestuous Abdul Aziz, whose ma
niacal frenzies forced his ministers
to depose him. He ended his life
few days later by opening his VEINS
with a pair of scissors. This was The
immediate environment Of Abdul
Hamid s young days.
Abdul Mejid, the iberal-minied
reformer, left an older son, Murad,
of legitimate birth and in many ways
resembling his father But he lacked
the tremendous will-power and men
tai astuteness of his younger broth
er Abdul Hamid, and he paid Ter,
rible penalty for his weakness. Alb
dull Hamid had spent his unloved bog
hood in superstitious ignorance, con-
sulting soothsayers, and prying into
forbidden lore. The seerS had prom
Used him the throne, though he was
the younger brother, but had told
him that his fate was linked with
that of Murad, and that his death
would follow close on his brothers
death. This double prophecy is the
secret clue to his whole life.
Murad " was raised to the throne

Abdul Aziz, at the end Of Ma,

self was removed from the throne,
and a pail Of mystery descended upon
him which has never been raised.
The incarceration Of the elder
brother took place at the end Of
August, 1876. At that very time a
frightful struggle was going on
among the Balkan Mountains between
the Christian Slavs and the Moslem
Turks. De Laveleye tells horrible
story of tortures and implements,
and records that the Austrian con-
sulate at one frontier point asked
the ConstantinopBe government not
to impale Christian Servians at a GER
tain place, because they were visible
from the windows Of the consulate.
