from the rafters Of the roof. said to her COM

II should like to eat Of that salt fish with

Balthasar ordered the dish. but when she
had finished eating he discovered that he had
taken no money with him. He took little con-

paying But the innkeeper barred their way.

at which Balthasar Knocked him down with
his fist Some Of the men, with uplifted
knives, rushed upon the two strangers. But
the black king. seizing hold of an enormous
pestle used for pounding Egyptian onions,
crushed two of his aggressors and compelled
the others to retreat. He felt Balkis by his
side. which made him invincible. The friends

Jars and cups. lighted lamps and even the
enormous brass pot wherein a whole sheep
was stewiug The pot fell with crash on
Balthasar's head and split It. He was
stunned for an instant. but, gathering up his
strength, he hurled the pot back with such
vigor that the weight of It was increased ten
fold. The crash of the falling metal was
mingled with horrible groans. and with the
shrieks of the dying. Taking advantage of
the terror Of the survivors and fearing lest
Balkis should be hurt, Balthasar took her in
his arms and ran with her through tho dark
and deserted streets.
II love thee" whispered the queen.
And now the moon, peeping from behind q
cloud. revealed. IN Balkis's half-closed eyes, q
ray Of light damp with tears. They were go

At the same moment some brigands hap
pened to pass by and saw the two lying on the
moss.
Then they tied them to the tail Of q donkey
and went along their way with them.
The black king was hurting threats Of death
at them. but Balks. although slightly shiverng
In the cold air of dawn. seemed to smile at

the heat Of the day began to make itself felt
She was now laughing, and the brgand chief
having asked her the reason why, she replied:
II am laughing at the thought Of having you
all hanged"
Truly my beauty" exclaimed the brigand
chief, that is strange talk In the mouth OF
scrubber Of pots And your black gallant? he
will probably help your"
On hearing these insulting words, Balthasar
was incensed with rage; he threw himself upon
the brigand and squeezed his neck so hard that
he nearly strangled him.
But the brigand stuck his knife into him, and
the poor king rolling on the ground looked at
Balkis with eyes in which all life soon seemed
to be extinct

half of my kingdom, with the sage Sembobitis
and Menkera the eunuch into the bargain"
But she got up and ran away laughing
clear-ringing laugh.
That evening Balthasar had supper with
the queen of Sheba and drank palm wine.
$50, really" said Balkis during the supper,
Queen Candace is not SO fair of face as

Queen Candace is black" answered Bal
thasar.
Balkis glanced at Balthasar and said:
zone can be black and comely.
'Balkisi" exclaimed the king
He could say no more. SEEKING her in his
embrace he held the queens forehead beneath
his lips But he saw that she was weeping.
Then he spoke to her In a low, caressing,
lightly singing voice, as nurse would to her
babe and he called her his little flower and
his little star.
why dost thou weepr said he. land
what must I do that thou mayest weep no
moref II thou hast any wish, tell It me, and
I shall do even as thou wishest"
She had ceased weeping, and now she was
in a dreamy mood. For long time he pressed
her to tell him her wish.
At last she said:
II wish to feel fear"
As Balthasar did not seem to understand.
she explained to him that for long time she
had been wishing to be exposed to some un-
known danger, but that she could not, because
both the men and the gods of Sheba were
watching over her.
"And yet" she added with sigh. II should

delightful thrill of fear 80 through my heshi

And she ran out Of
the banquet hall, clap

Balthasar took of his

and all embroidered with

beggar's cloth round his
loins. He looked a true

And, with finger which looked like a ray

Nenkera would sing lturgic songs to him;
but he was not listening to them, being all In
tsut upon looking at the little jackals who
were sitting. with ears erect. on the sandy
horizon.
At last, after q 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 blossoming pomegranates.
When they came into the town they were
amazed at the size Of storehouses, sheds and
workyards which were stretching in front of
than. as well as at the large quantity Of mer-
chandise stored In them. For long time they
walked along streets thronged with chariots.

marble walls the purple tents. the gold Gu
polas Of Balkis palace came into view.
The queen Of Sheba received them in a
court cooled with fountains Of perfumed wa
ter which fell in peary streams with 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

But now there came big roar Of armed
horsemen and Balks saw brave Abner who. at
the head of her guards, came to release his
queen, of whose mysterious disappearance he
had heard the day before. -
The mage Sembrobitis and Menkera the Gu
much who were standing by Abners side gave
loud cry when they saw their prince lying mo-
tionless with knife in his side. They raised
him with the utmost care. Sembrobitis, who
was well versed in medical science, saw that
he was still breathing. He dressed the wound
while. Mtnkera wiped the froth from the kings
lips. Then they tied him on horse and bore
him gently to the queens palace.
For a space Of fifteen days Balthasar re-
NAMED in state Of mad delirium. He spoke
continually of the brass pot and of the moss in
the torrent bed. and cried out for Balkis. On
the sixteenth day. having opened his eyes. he
saw Sembrobtis and Menkera by his bedside
but he did not see the queen.
where is she? What Is she doing7
my lord" said Menkera, she Is in private
conversation with the king of Comagene."
II must see her!" cried Balthasar.
And he rushed out toward the queens apart
ment before the old man and the eunuch could
stop him. When he came near the bed cham
Der he saw the king of Comagene coming out of
It, all bedecked with gold and as bright as the
sun.
Balkis, lying on purple bed. with closed
eyes, was smiling.
"Oh Balkis Oh my own!" cried Balthasar
She turned cold and hard gaze on him, and
he saw that she had forgotten everything. and
he reminded her Of that night In the torrent bed.
II really do not know what you mean. my
lord Palm wine agrees not with you. You
must have been adreaming."
She rose to her feet and the gems In her
gown FLASHED like hailstones and shone like
lightning.
MY lord she said, now II the time when
my privy council must assemble. have no
leisure for explaining the dreams Of . diseased

Balthasar felt a. II he was going to die. but
he made an effort to hide his weakness from
the wicked woman. and, flying to his room. he
tainted. his wound having opened again.

The night was dark
and Balkis looked quite

An extraordinary case of suicide
is reported from Chedzoy, near
Bridgewater, England, the victim
being a farmer named James Reed.
just before midnight Reeds aged
mother heard two gunshots near the
house. Looking out of the window to
ascertain the cause, she saw what
appeared to be a will-o'-the-wisp
dancing about in the field adjoining
the house. Rousing some servants
the old lady went with them to the
field, and there they found the dead
body of Reed, with the clothes still
smoldering and a gun ciutched
across the chest. Reed had evident
ly first saturated his clothes with oil,
and then, after firing his gun to at
tract attention, set himself alight.
He had been suffering from depres.

THE CALUMET PosroFFlcE.

Some Of the criticism OF the calu-
met postoffice is unwarranced. but We
believe the service could be improved
by leaving the lobby open all day sun
day and To a later hour each evening,
say until $50 or 10 o'clock for the
convenience OF the public. Under the
present arrangement the person who
has lock box is not more favored on
Sunday. or in the evening, than the
person who calls for his mail at the
window. A lock box is supposed TO
give the patron possessing ii certain
privileges. which he pays for and
should have. Many business men have
lock boxes and call at the postoffice
for their mail because IL is convenient
To do so and they save time. They
should be afforded the same privileges
on Sunday that they enjoy during the
week days. At present the postofflee
is open one hour Sunday afternoon,
at the expiration of which the lobby is
locked. Now il isn't always an easy
matter TO get to the postofice during
the particular hour it is open. and the
AdNl AliiA bilt has 10 NC NllNAt dN lllt
specified time often interferes with the
days plans. And the fact the office is
open only an hour on Sunday adds to
the congestion i'm the lobby which is
too small To accommodate the crowd
clamoring for mail Some of this
crowding could be avoided If the lobby
were open the entire day. an arrange
ment which would not interfere with
the Sunday hours of the postal clerks
i'm the least. In Houghton the lobby
OF the postoffice is open all the time
and the public there is nightly well
pleased with the service it is getting,
judging from all reports. 1t seems to
us that a similar arrangement could
be made in Calumet, with all due re-
spect to everybody concerned This is
merely a suggestion. but IL reflects the
sentiment of the patrons of the local
postoffice. The Improvement, If made, |
would be much appreciated we be-
lieve.
