but he was not listening to them, being all In
tent upon looking at the little jackals who
were sitting, with ears erect, on the sandy
horizon.
At last, after a march Of twelve long days,
Balthasar and his companions smelt sweet
smell of roses and they soon gazed upon the
gardens which surrounded the town OF Sheba-
There they met young maidens who were
dancing under poisoning pomegranates.
When they came into the town they were
amazed at the size of storehouses, sheds and
workyards, which were stretching in front of
them, as well as at the large quantity of mer-
chandise stored In them. For long time they
walked along streets thronged with charots,
porters donkeys and donkey drivers, until the
marble walls, the purple tents, the gold Gu
polas of Balkis' palace came into view.
The queen of Sheba received them in
court cooled with fountains of perfumed wa
ter which fell in pearly streams with a clear
ringing sound She was standing in bejeweled
robes and she was smiling.
When he saw her Balthasar was deeply
troubled. She appeared to him sweeter than
a sweet dream.
"be careful to conclude good treaty of COM
merce with the queen"
'Take heed, my lord" said Menkera, "for
she is said to use magic in winning the hearts
of men,"
Then. after bowling very low, the mage and
the eunuch retired.
Balthasar, when he was alone with Balkis,
opened his mouth, in an attempt to speak, but

"Then will try TO be wise" said
Balthaser But let us return at once
to Ethiopia. And, as he had lost all
that he loved, he resolved to devote
himself to wisdom and to become a
mage. He had tower built, from the
top of which one could see several
kingdoms and the vast expanse of the
heavens. He used to go to it's top
every night, there to study the heav-
ems under the direction of the sage
Sembobitis
"Sembobitis," he would say, "dost
thou answer on thy head for the ac-
curacy Of my horoscopes"
And the sage Sembobitis would re-
ply:
MY lord, science Is ipfallible, but
savants are not"
Balthaser, who had fine natural
genius, would say:
Divine truth is the only truth, but
it is hidden from us and we seek it in
vain And yet l have just discovered
a new star in the heavens. 1t is a
beautiful star, which seems as if it
were living, and, when it scintillates,
it looks like some heavenly eye look

How TO Clean Satin Slippers.

How TO Clean Satin Slippers.
If you wore satin slippers last win
ter and find upon taking them out this
season that they are soiled. it is well
to clean them at once. If the satin Is
but slightly soiled get some pieces OF
stale bread and rub the surface gently
with 1t. This takes of all small dis
colorations. Kneaded rubber will do
the same work, although some women
do not like it because it crumbles of
ON the satin. If the slipper is still
soiled looking after this treatment, rub
the entire surface with the thread.
Remember not to go against or across
1t. White flannel should be used-a
clean piece-dipped in spirits of wine.
If this rubbing is done gently and
evenly over the surface, the effect is
excellent.
