lowing the receipt of his dismissal, Me-
/ Ihmed Ali Bey cabled his government
10 send him money with which 10 re-
turn 10 ConstantinOple. Twice he cabled
for the money. his back psy and ex-

and twice he was informed in very
pointed language that il would be neces-
sary for him 10 return 10 ConstantinOple
fto receive the money, that none would

! Aehmed Ali Bey is a man of wealth,

/ cording to Mundji Bey, the new charge
| d'anaires, but he has feared to send
| anything 70 his son by other than
! special messenger. II is that special
! messenger that the depOsed minister is
1 awaiting. He is impatient 10 leave
washington and join his father.
GuaTdSmen Accommodating.

that he is safe, turn him over to the
butler
Commercial gentlemen" they call
/ themselves, The two guardsmen, but
/ from their conversation IL is very ap-
parent that they know more about
! counterfeiters than buyers and mer-
/ chandise. They are very accommodat-
/ ing too. for they save the butler lots
| of trouble by answering the door bell
/ for him and helping him out with SINH
! lar services. Guarded as he is, like the
/ Sultan himself. Il would be a difficult
/ matter for any Young Turk to pene-
/ trate the room where Ali Bey sits pom
/ de~ing on the destiny which Allah has
/ mapped out for some OF his sons, and
! wondering when the star OF mis- crescent
/ will again glow with its wOnted bright
