And Sinn-ott replied: Allah forbid! Cousin
to the Confagration, hast thou not received
the promise of the Mullah Murfee that thou
shouldst reign again?"
Then quoth the good Caliph in a voice Of
deep gloom
"Wel do know the value Of the promises
of the Mullah Murfee"~
Yet still refused he to be encouraged and
sinn-ott, his vizer, spake again:

Then sighed Hy-lan like a grampus in the
spring, and his vizier betook himself from the
sublime presence Of his lord, wracking his
brain as to how the inflammation of health
might be restored to the face of the Caliph.
Then consulted Sinn-ott with the leaders

Presles wasn't in hurry. She always dreaded
a little coming back to her apartment, where
there was nothing to keep her from thinking

"No letter for you" said the janitress.
Nine. Presles nodded her head and passed on
She knew that there wouldn't be any letter
Who would be likely to write to her?
She mounted two flights and was at home
She had lived there for three years, always
alone. Her apartment was cold, coorless and
cheerless. Although she was wel-to-do, she
kept no servant, because she preferred to oc-
cupy herself as much possible and also to
save the money for her relief work.
She dined in five minutes and began knit

But Bobby was plainly not playing up. Bobby

Dwight, the irrepressible fellow, who kept the

the infdel, give ear to the thousand
and twenty-fourth tale of the good Caliph
Hy-lan Of the Ruddy Countenancc and of how
he went forth in battle array against the
false Emir Kuran.
Nosx it came to pass as the fourth year of
tho Profit drew on to It's close that the rebel
Kuran whom men had once honored as an
Emir in the household OF the Caliph and whom
Hy-lan himself had hailed as Hennery, ranged
back and forth through the streets of the
city calling calamity and predicting the end
of the Caliph's reign. And his voice and his
words irked Hy-lan and the charges Of Kuran
were like thorns in his side.
Then while the rebel Emir shouted his
accusations and no man answered them, the
host of the Sheik Meyer continued examina-
.tion Of those high in the counses of the
Faith, haling the great Kahn Ali, Emir Of
Queens, and others before it's tribunal where
they were subjected to many grievous and
painful inquiries and ordeals.
And the turmoil reused by Kuran and the
Sheik Meyer woke strange and disqueting
thoughts in the heart of Hy-lan and so vain
and troublesome were the doubts that filed
that spacious bosom that at times he won
dered whether he might reign again. Then
the dolor that besieged the heart of Hy-lan
oppressed the servants Of his household, and
they strove to tighten its cloud, some by read
ings from the works of Will ibn Hearst, the
Sheik ul Islam, others by dance and song such
the Caiiph once loved. Yet he only sighed
as doth the leviathan of the deep, and plucked
again.
Then came to him in the hour of his per
turbation his grand vizier, Snn-ott of the
Gorgeous Garments And his cravat was like
unto the fires of spring and his robes even
like the coat of Joseph. Yet not even this
cheerful attire could bring the CLEAN Of joy
to the face of the Caliph And Sinn-ott spake
Brother of the bul-bull, what oppresseth
thee so that thou sittest resembling the Pasha
Bennett after Republican primary?"
And the good Caliph, after receiving per
mission from the keepers of his words. ranked
round about him, quoth:
"Alas good vizier, and may add, il al
