the house of the Widow Zaidah, who
was also poor; but when he made
known his want she set before him two
hard-boiled eggs, all the food there was
in her house.
Later, when Alb del Hakk lived ih
Marakesh and was very rich, Meludi,
the lawyer, disliking him, persuaded
the Widow Zaidah to sue him for the
eggs; but not for the eggs alone, for
they would have become two chickens,
which in time would have so multiplied
that the Whole fortune of Alb del Hakk
would not now pay for them. When
the case came to trial the rich man was
not in court.

girl was with her, but seemed to make no
answer. The house was all his own.

faced the north, in his own room, to the

shadowy lawns; through ash-fog and
windless moonlght-he trod the night

the moon drowsed for ages in the cloud
gardens the stars dipmed, disappeared,
and trembled forth again, as they had
been. 1t seemed left entirely to him that
time passed; he had to grapple with the
minutes one by one, and fight each back
into the past.
At the side of the great house to the
north there was a trellis heavily burdened
with lianas. Within, he found the orfice
of an old cistern, partially covered by
unfixed planking. He lifted the boards,
and the moonlight shining through the
foliage reflected in the water far below

The greatest issue before the
 American people to-day is the issue Of the preservation or destruction of
 the power of the courts, says writ
 CT in American industries. It is
 greater and more important, even, than the tariff issue. The tariff touches the pocket of the country; the integrity of the judicial power is a thing which reaches far beyond any question of material welfare to the very bases upon which the gov ernment of the United States stands. It was the threat in congress to im- pair this integrity at the behest of the leaders of organized labor which reused the business men of this country to the protest of last May under the Judiciary which precipi- tated the one real fight in the Chi cago convention, and which has come nearer than any thing before to alienate the business interests of this country from that party. It is over this same issue that the decis- i've battle of the Denver democratic convention promises to take place, and it is this issue that is going to demand the consideration of every citizen throughout this years and, unless it is answered clearly and unmistakably now, per haps throughout the next session at

The Doa's Tail,

 The attorney for the defense had been consulting dog expert and had learned that if a dog holds his tail up over his back when he barks he is not angry, while if he holds it straight out behind him he is in q belligerent blood thirsty frame of mind. Anxious to air his newly acquired information. the lawyer began cross questioning the prosecuting witness thus:
