One by one the Arabs got up, each

There was long way to 20. and
Mahomed was too wise and cautious
to congratulate himself at this early
stage. George was thereupon trussed
up like Christmas fowl ready for
the oven. They wrapped him up in
the burnouse and carried him out to
the closed carriage in waiting. No
one in the street seemed curious. No
one in the English-Bar deemed It nee
essary to be. Whatever happened in
this resort had long been written in
the book Of fate. Had a white man
approached to inquire what was going
IN, Mahomed would have gravely
whispered that 1t was a case Of
plague they were hurrying away to
prevent interference by the English
authorities.
Once George was snug inside the
carriage, it was driven off at a run

George was very well lost. Still. there

sack, a cloak, burnouse, or whatever
1t was, flung about his head. and

George hit out valiantly, and a mer.

small; at least, George thought It was,

thumped against the four sides Of 1t.
He could see nothing and he couldn't
breathe very well; but in spite of
these inconvenience he put up three
rounds that would have made some
stir among the middleweights. In the
phraseology Of the fancy, he had a
good punch. All the disappointments

occupied for fifty-eight years, Miss Sy-
billa Schnatz celebrated her seventy
ninth birthday at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. A. Sullivan, 1849 North Van
Pedt street. She is suffering from a
paralytic stroke which followed anat-
tack of typhoid fever when she was
twenty-one years old.
Relatives and a few friends assem-
bled in her room to participate in the
round of pleasures that are annually
planned for her. These consist prin-
cipally in discussing with her the lat
test inventions of the age. in which
she always displays a keen interest
When she became an invalid Pierce
was president of tn United States and
the only ruler still living of those
who sat on the thrones of Europe
then, is Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria. Most of the men who are
prominent in the affairs of state were
not yet born.
Miss Schnatz' general health is ex-
cellent and none of her faculties have
been impaired. She reads, writes and
