TOOK PHOTOS IN THE HAREM
Traveller Was Granted This Extraor-
binary Privilege in AIgiers Be-
cause He Had Gray Hair.

This was in the city of Algiers, in
that wonderland Of north Africa. Not
in the beautiful, new French quarter,
with it's wide streets and fine build
ings. but in the old Arab town. with
narrow alleys and ancient crowded
houses, foul with the unremoved filth
of years. The ladies of our mission
had long searched for house IN the
native quarter which they could hire
for the purpose of holding meetings
with the native women and classes
for girls. They finally secured one
where the blind woman lived.

some photographs, says writer in
the Christian Herald This was a
most extraordinary thing, for man
to be allowed to visit the apartments
of the women and take their photo
graphs. The privilege was secured
by each Of the married women asking
the consent of her husband, assuring
him that there would be no cause for
jealousy, since / had gray hair, and so
must be an old man.
The street was reached after passing
through a maze of bazaars, alleys and
little squares. II was steep flight
of stone steps between high walls,
having here and there heavy nail
studded door and an occasional win
dow high above the walk. A knock on
the door was answered after short
wait by timid hail from within, of:

hurrying feet went to carry the mes

make certain that all was right on
our side and our door opened eau

DAVID Won A WIFE
Encounter With a Burglar Lucky
Stroke for PIucky Young
Salesman.
BY AUGUSTUS GOODRICH sHER-
WIN.

There was only one ray OF light Wis
ible about the plant of the Interstate
Manufacturing company. That was In
a corner Of the main office, where
David Harris sat porting over
an account book. Once In while he
lifted his eyes and stared dreamily
at the wall. 1t was not from WEAKNESS
or distaste for the extra work he was
doing. 1t was when the picture Of his
fiance, pretty Mary Lee, came float
Ing into his mind, and the air castles
concerning her formed perfect vista
of magical creations
AS to the extra work, David welcom-
ed that heartily. 1t meant extra
money, and ready cash was large ele-
ment in his prospects just now. The
company employing him did not pay
princely salaries. Practical, hard-fist-
ed old Silas Lee, Mary's father, had
set the figure David must earn before
he would consent to a marriage with
his daughter. What worried David
was that an advance in salary seemed
a long ways off. Worse than that, he
believed old Lee capable of encourag-
ing the advances of suitors more de-
sirable in money way.
"Mary loves me, that's sure" solilo-
quized John, $50 can only keep plug
cling away. Perhaps new open
ing may come along. Anyhow, I'll
go at the work with the best that's
in me. Hello!"
David was suddenly startled. The Of
fee door went open with a crash, and
Mr.. Morse, president of the COM
pany, plunged into view. He held an
open telegram in his hand, and he
looked anxious and flustered.
Nobody here but YOU" he spoke in
disappointed tone, David fancied.
No, sir, l had some extra work"
Eyes, yes l know all about that;
but where is Simmons. the head sales
man." asked the manufacturer
''He started on his vacation this aft
ernoon."

Their Welcome.

On the arrival of the duke and
duchess of Connaught in Khartum
three years ago, it was thought by
the troops, says the Egyptian Gazette,
that IL would be right to decorate the
place as much as possible. Accord
ingly, with infinite pains, triumphal
arch was erected. to the great salts
faction OF all concerned.
A picture OF the queen and the
prince of Wales graced the arch, but
no pictures of the duke and duchess
were to be obtained for love or money.
Advice was therefore sought from one
of the English sergeants, and he ad-
vised placing a notice between the
two portraits referred to bearing the
inscription, Let 'em all come"
This was accordingly done. much
to the amusement of the duchess, who
insisted on taking snapshot Of the
arch.
