and nodded his head once or twice.

Thus dismissed, returned to my

the result of this interview. The

in expecting, from the notorious state
Of his exchequer, and | perceived that
it would be necessary to take some de-
cisiye step in order to force his con-

MY previous experience had taught
me that every difficulty which one en-
counters in the countries OF the east
resolves itself into question Of back
sheesh.' II remained for me to dis
cover the quarter In which this ire
sistible lever might be most profitabiy
applied.
do not ask me to enter into details
with regard to this point. 1t is sutfi-
cient to say that I ascertained that
great influence was welded over Ismail
Pasha by beautiful odalisque in his
harem, whose name was Fatimeh. and
who turned out to possess a mania for
the jewelry OF the palais royal. The
negotiation was attended with some
risk, on account of the rigorous pre-
cautions which are observed in guard
ing the access to the apartments of
the women of the East.
Il had no reason to complain Of the
good faith Of this charming creature.
Within two days was sent for to the
palace, and found myself received with
the greatest cordially by the khedlve.

to close with the offer Of the syndi-
