Previously everything had looked
splendid to the monarch. The Young
( Turks had not objected to his harem
until Huda got in bad with the planets
and many of that party had promised
to leave the country rather than be
called to purgatory by decapitation.
AS each step in this fearful condi-
ton of things came to his mind his
royal highness decided that it looked
darker for Abdul Huda's head and also
rather dark for Abdul Seconds safety,
the latter being the sultan himself.
There was no one else to blame it
on except the astrologer. Had not his
plea of sickness when other nations
pressed him for the return of their
loans, always been sufficient to quel.

other reason for the status than by re
turning to his original reason.

order shouted down the speaking tube

1t all came about in this manner:
At a recent star chamber session

that as far as he could discern by
daylight the orbs of the universe were
in their correct positions, thus lending
security to the monarch.

started revolution.

and despite the fact that they cheer
the sultan outside of the palace until

peace, many of the tall Turkish minds
have announced that they ARE going
away from here, never again to re-

his majesty, is none other than Huda
