Mehmed Ali Bey had been recalled

father of the missing secretary, and
as a consequence it was expected
that the pair would connive together
as to the best mode of procedure in
the present case, for both might be

Thus by the foregoing will be seen

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 1t looked
darker for Abdul Hudas 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 quell
them? 1t had, and he could see no
other reason for the status than by re-
turning to his original reason.

with the palace camarilla.

order shouted down the speaking tube

This retinue included Ria Pasha,
the former minister Of war, and Rag

and highly honored court chamber

himself within his cyclone cellar

and prepared to sell his life as dearly

the royal dungeon.
Because the court soothsayers re-

about to corral the entire body of
hangers-on, who daily loafed about the

Everybody should know how simple

Unless the property owner takes ad-
vantage of the simple means of pro.
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers. he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
1t is to protect the pant-buyer

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts

The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
ical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made OF whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these ce-
reals.
1t contains also the phosphate Of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
Va. mother found the value of
GrapeNuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishng her
baby at the same time. She writes:
After my baby came I did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said l could not nurse the baby
as l did not have nourishment for her,
besides was too weak.

diet and see what that would do and

Fifteen minutes elapsed.

Then in loud voice:

In came the trusty band, weapons in

Hunt up Abdul Huda, royal astrolo-
ger and bring him hence" ordered his
majesty.
Within a few minutes. Huda. his
trunk packed for his vacation, was
ushered into the regal presence, well
knowing that the signs had been
switched under his eyes.
"Off with his head" shouted the
sultan, rising from the divan.
Fifteen brown forearms pulled Is
shining sabers and were ready to de-
liver the fatal stroke with the same
regularity that governs up-to-date mel

ishment before am ready to deprive
him Of what little gray matter there
may be beneath that bald pate. To

The days routine over, the sultan
re-seated himself upon the divan and
thought Of what had best be done
Finally he decided that there could
be no place just like Jail as punish

the sultan outside of the palace until
he has to empty the court water pitch

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

no better star-gazer was to be found
In the empire, for had not the imperial

He had.
Then mentally the sultan went over
what his astrologer had told him only

Mars, the star which portended for
war, was gradually fading away, and
Huda had also said that within few
weeks there would probably be no
Mars.
The big dipper, suggestive Of the
horn of plenty, was brighter than ever.
1t was true, for had not Huda in all
