dervishes who cry to Allah as they whirl, and
all who respond to the beat of swift music, give
ear to the thousand and thirteenth tale of the
Good Caliph, Hy-lan of the Rudy Counte
nance, and Of how he, by his grace and wis
som, confused those who murmured against
him.
Now it came to pass in the fourth year of
the Profit that Hy-lan, who had retired to
the nnermost chamber of his palace to search
his soul, wearied at length of reading the
scroll on which was inscribed the wisdom Of
Will ibn II .arst, the Sheik I'll Islam. And he
laid it aside and searching his spirit found
it in tune with the infinite and Will.
Wherefore he clapped his hands and sum-
moned his grand vizier, Sinn-ott of the Geor-
geous Garments, to his presence But the
slave whom he sent returned, salaaniing, to
say:
cousin of the MONDAY Sun, the grand
v5zier hath withdrawn to his own place, where
Allah hath smiled upon him and his house.
And there he maketh merry over the newborn
who shall be vizier when his own days are
ended
Then quoth the Good Caliph:
Behold much search after knowledge hath
wearied me. Throw wide the doors of the
Chamber of the Estimate and I shall go
thither to seek amusement in the words of
Abu ibn Craig. the Wiseacre."
To which the slave gave answer, prostrating
himself
"Nay, Father of the Typhoon. This may
rot be, for Shallow Said, pasha of the
schools, hath brought action through the
imams of thy law courts against the Wiseacre
for his gift of speech. This, saith Shallow Said,
has injured him to the amount Of hundred
thousand shekels, so that Abu bn Craig, find
ing his words valuable, spendeth them prod
igally no longer"
And Hy-lan bethought himself and said at
length:
"All amusement ceaseth when absent
myself from the courts of my palace. Send
now hither my scribe, for I would indte a
speech to read to my people from whom the
light of my countenance hath been removed
these many days"
But the slave, grovelling, replied:

It came to pass that with the space of few
days a mystery grew in the town of Astoria
in the Land Of Queens, for on the pavements
Of the streets appeared strange writings And
the Mamelukes set to guard the dwelers thers
professed ignorance of how these came to be.
But the men of Astoria summoned interpre.
ters who read the writings thus:
''The good Caliph. In the Town Hall Rich
mond Hill. One night only. July 90 Come
one, come all"
And tickets were sent abroad through the
way of Richmond HILL bearing the seal of
the city and the date, July %, and promising
the holder entertainment in the form Of
musicians, singers and the Good Caliph Hv
Ian of the Rudy Countenance.
Word also went forth to the Mamelukes to
be exceeding vgilant lest these tickets fall
into the hands of spectators and the prices
be raised far above the means of the COM
mon people. sss5
Then men marveled and wondered what it
meant. Yet, only those in the palace of the
Good Caliph knew, for from morning till
night in his innermost chamber there sounded
mighty thumpings and bumpings, and voice
crying aloud:
Zone, two, three and turn. Skip mop; skin.
hop; skip-hop. Picture!'
And rumors of the Caliph's revenge came
to the dervish Nudd, where he danced in the
street, railing against the schools, 50 that
he shuddered.

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACkHEADS

There is one simple safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
and that is TO dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces of calonite
powder from any drug store-sprinkle
little on hot. wet sponge-rub over the
lolnckheads briskly-wash the parts and
you will be surprised how thu blackheads
Fnave disappeared. Big blackheads, little
backheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads are simply mixture Of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores Of the skin, pinching
and squeezing only cause irritation, make
large pores. and do not get them out after
they become hard. The calonite powder
and the water simply dissolve the black
heads so they wash right out. leaving the
pores free and clean and in their natural
unsightly blemishes should certainly try
this simple od.-Advertisement.
