his demise, they were conveying
the corpse to offer the weekly

it's upright position and gloomy

street, treading, apparently, on air,

away into the distance. and he
found himself alone.
Alone? Why, the air was filled

THE sULTAN's GIFT.

The little old sultan drove to the
mosque every Friday in his open
carriage in order to offer prayers.
Covering under his rugs. hud-
died into his robes of state, how he
dreaded those weekly journeys
through the streets of his capital,
through rows of ,mpassive, silent
soldiers, past windows lined with
strenly impressive citizens. How
nervously he glanced to right, to
left! At this corner the line was
partly broken; suppose that some
desperate man whom he had
wronged should rush in on him
with a revolver! Suppose a bomb
were flung from that group upon
the balcony over his soldiers
heads.
AS he drove, his eyes, heavy with
the opiates which he took to bring
sleep to him, the carriage halted
abruptly, and he sat up with a
scowl. His vizier, seated opposite
him, sprang to his feet nervously.
A wagon had been overturned in
the street, and the procession must
be diverted
At the same instant a man, tat
tered and wild, burst through the
Gordon of soldiers and knelt at the
carriage side.
Mercy, sire" he cried, his hands
appraised.
The troops, seeing that he had
already gained his sovereign's ear,
hesitated in doubt.
"My name is Mahomet bin Ach-
met; spare my father. sire" the
man pleaded, kissing the sultan's
hand
The sultan wrinkled his brows in
thought. Then he remembered
That morning, among the countless
death warrants which he had
signed, was one for the execution
of certain Achmet, a veteran SER
geant of many years service. who
had been found guilty of the crime
of desertion. He had been kept on
service several months after the
expiration of his time, and had
gone home to his family.
ARREST this man. he cried to
his soldiers, ''eLt him share his
fathers fate"
Instantly the man sprang toward
and plunged a long, thin knife into
the sultan's breast The act was
done so eXpeditionsly that only the
blow was seen. When the assassin
was pulled away the sultan still sat
in his carriage, erect and appar-
emily unframed.
Drive on" shouted the vizier;
and the carriage proceeded.
The dying sultan fixed his dark
eyes gloomily upon his minister.
who, not daring to speak, covered
into his corner He felt his life
ebbing from him; he bowed his
head with a groan and seemed to
pass through all the ultimate mo-
ments of dissolution.
When he became conscious again
the carriage was already speeding
through the Dolma street, and in
the distance the great mosque APP

he had sent to their deaths in

The sultan opened his eyes,
heavy from the opiates. The car

turned cart, and the man still clung
to his hand. And overhead the sun
still shone; and he was sultan still.
May God, the merciful, forgive

cried.
And the carriage rolled away
toward the mosque.

Special Correspondents to The Press
CLEVELAND, Jan. 6.-Would
you thihk a man is lucky to have a
wooden leg?
Miles Mahon of Cleveland. who
has one-or rather had one-has
figured out its advantage to him.
and is thanking Providence for
what he had before counted as an
affection.
Mahon was caught between two
streetcars and his leg from the
knee down was smashed. Now, it
happens that just that part of his
leg was wooden.
1t was a very ordinary wooden
leg with a peg bottom. He can get
a new one like it for about So,
which is a good deal to Mahon.
who is a poor laborer.
But Mahon chooses to look on
the bright side Of things--even to
the point of finding joy in wood
en- leg He has obtained estimates
of what the cost would have been
to him had his smashed leg been
of flesh and bone. The figures
follows:
Ambulance service. ..$ 500
Amputation ......... 10000
Hospital expenses...... 1000
Wooden leg .......... 500
Total expense $4,000
To this he adds three months
loss of pay ($120), bringing the
grand total up to 1918.
Still further, Mahon adds the in
estimable pain Of crushed limb
and the mental anguish that Would
have been involved in this heavy
expense.
So Mahon blithely whistles as
he hobbies on a borrowed crutch
from a cabinet maker to a black
smith and on to a harness maker,
fitting together the parts of new
wooden leg.
He feels himself to be 1855 to
the good just as truly as though
1t had been placed to his credit in
bank.

In connection with the work on the
canal it is probable that the majority
of the Americans back home do not
comprehend all the details, most OF
them viewing it as a matter OF digging
a ditch. hauling away the dirt and
building few locks and dams, a Colon

Canal Company turned over to the
American army officers their posses
sions on the isthmus there were in
cluded in the transfer close on to 1900
houses. For several years prior to
that time the French had been doing
scarcely anything except little dig
ging at Culebra and, as these houses
were strung all along the line and
were but little used, they were natur-
ally in bad condition. Since that time
the canal commission has erected
something like $500 buildings. These
have cost, more or less, $6,4O0,0O0
American money, and the repairs nee
