Strange Adventure of a

Raschid
BY O. HENRY
1910, by Doubleday, Page
e. Co.

WWhout doubt much of the spirit
and ,.enfus Of the Caliph Haroun-al-
Raschid descended to the Margrave
August Michael Won Paulscn Quigg.
Quigss restaurant is in Fourth ave,
nue-that street that the city seems to
have forgotten in its growth Fourth
avenue born and bred in the Bow

resolutions.
WhcrL it crosses Fourteenth street
1t strut FOR brief moment proudly
in the glare of the museums and cheap
theaters It may yet become a fit mate
for it's hlghborn sister boulevard to
the west or its roaring, polyglot
broad waisted cousin to the east. It
passes Union square, and here the
hoofs of the dray horses seem to thun-
der in unlsUn,s recalling the tread Of
marching bvBts-hOoray! And next
poor Fourth avenue-the street glides
into a medieval solitude. On each side
are the shops devoted to antiques"
What streer could live inclosed by
these mortuary relics and trod by
these spectral citizens in whose sunk
en- hearts scarce one good whoop or
tra-la-la remaned2
Not Fourth avenue; not after the
tinsel but ehiyening glories of the
little Rialtot aot after the echoing
drumbeats og Union square. There
need be no teaAs, ladies and gentlemen;
tits but the sI4xcide of street. With
shrek and >, crash Fourth avenue

taurant of QuiRg. It stands there yet
If you care to view it's crt1mbling red

Quigg's title came through his moth
er. One OF hex ancestors was mar
gravine of saA9ny. His father was q
Tammany bra~e. On account Of the
lilution of his Aeredity he found thai
he could neithse become q reigning pc
tentate nor ge4 a job IN the city hall
So he opened y restaurant. He was i
man full of thought and reading. The
business gave him a living, though he
gave it little attention One side OF
his house beqnoathed to him poetic
and romantic nature. The other gave
him the restless, spirit that made hin
seek adventure BY day he was Quigg
the restaurateuA. BY night he was thu
margrave, the 4aliph, the prince o.
Bohemia, going aoout the city in search
of the odd, the mysterious, the mex
plicable, the recosdite.
One night at s at which hour tht

OF riches and power Margrave Quigg
had none, but be had a ca1iphs heart.
1t may be forgiven him If his head fell
short of the measure of Haroun-ai-
Raschid's.
Continuing his progress in search Of
romance to divert him or Of distress
that he might aid, QGigg became
aware of fast gathering crowd that
