Then the Sultan talked with steel and wrote his edicts in blood. About the busiest place in his fortress-residence was the chamber of execution where more than few advisers who seemed to err in their suggestions were violently removed from the councils of the Grand Sinyori and from earthly existence.
 Turkey was world power in those times and the fear of the Sultan's wrath spread to countries far away from the Balkan Pensinula. Foreign ambassadors were made to wait, like book agents, on the Sultan's pleasure and convenience and they couched their diplomatic mes sages with extreme care and elaborate courtesy. They considered themselves

 One of these is a sunken pool lighted by circles of many colors that fall from a dome of stained glass. Encircling the pool are polished marble columns and a grill that concealed the royal bather even from the eyes of the powerful black men who guarded him at his ablutions.
 Deep in the maze of the harem one finds exquisite examples of pure Turkish art-fountains as pleasing to the eye as a Grecian urn, deep rugs and heavy draperies loomed by the expert fingers of artisans whose skill died with them. stained glass windows fit for a cathedral, and golden grill work as amazingly beau. tiful as intricate.
 These are but few of the wonders that will soon be open to anyone who cares to visit the historic Old Seraglio to see for himself the almost unbeliev- able luxury with which many Sultans surrounded themselves and their harem beauties for three adventurous centuries
 One of the great halls in the imperial palace is called the Treasury, because this is where the crown jewels of the Sultans and their Sultanas will be ar. ranged for exhibit
 Many of these priceless gems have not been seen by any living person except the men highest in the councils of mod. ern Turkey. The collection includes many tiaras and jeweled robes that will attract gem fanciers from all parts of the world.

Library, which contains many volumes of Oriental manuscripts beyond price, and the Sanctuary-which might be called the holy of holies in the Seraglo-is rich in sacred relics, thought to have been the property of the Prophet Mohammed, founder of the Mosem faith. This even contains yellowed tooth and wisp of beard treasured under the impression that they came from the head of the Son of Allah.
 Not since 1889 has the Palace in Stamboul, as the Old Seraglo is often called, been occupied by Sultan, al though Abdul Hamid II. who was forced to get down from the throne in the snow. white palace across the Bosphorus in 1909, used it as sort of overflow home for his many dependents and for the wives and offspring of former Sutans

 In the long gone days when Murads and Mohammeds and Abduls lived in the Seraglio it was busy and fearsome establishment. The turrets and the tow. CTS of the palace rose in the midst of series of courts, the gates to which were barred and bolted and guarded by the pick of the Empires strongest men.

"HE veil that has shrouded Turkeys
 Old Seraglio for nearly four hun.
 A dred years has at last been drawn aside to reveal the lavish splendor with which a long line of Sultans surrounded themselves and the numerous beauties of their harems.
 Turkish museum authorities, working under orders from Renal Pasha, the democratic successor of the long line of Sultans who ruled the Ottoman Empire with blood and iron, have cleaned up the forbidding and mysterious Palace in Stamboul and will soon open its doors as a public museum.
 The lowest Turk in the land and the sightseeing tourist who cares the price of good cigar about having an Arabian Nights dream while he is wide awake may soon roam about the very sanctum sanctorums of terrible Turks who, in their day, put to death such audacious or ignorant unfortunates as even ap- preached the outer portals.
 No one, not even the old Turks who can remember the days before Abdul Hamid II succeeded his brother as Sul- tan in 1876, dreamed that the forbidding turrets and minarets and domes of the Old Seraglio held the priceless treasures that have been found there.
 Already photographers have been per- mitted to take pictures in the imperial stronghold of the Sultans and some of them, reproduced on this page, graph ically suggest the breathless beauty of the place. elaborate throne captured from the pal ace of the Shah of Persia in the days when the Turk was anything but "the sick man of Europe" that the World War made him. This royal divan-for it really is that-is elaborately studded with pearls and enamels worth kings, ransom, and is matched by footstool |quite as beautiful and ornate. Another throne-a detail of which is shown on this page-was the special pride of Sultan Murad ", who domi- |neered the Ottomans in the early eigh- |teenth century. This, like the other, is war loot brought to the Old Seraglio from Bagdad. It is a masterpiece of Oriental cabinet making and is ebony in laid with the finest of snow-white ivory. Still another throne that will soon be on view in the worlds unique museum is supported by four marble columns which have been described as "so beautiful and delicate that you would take them for Phoenician vases from funeral monument"
 From the outermost gateway to the colorful terraced gardens that rise from the shore of the blue Bosphorus to the ponderous bronze doors that let into the harem, the imperial palace of the Sul- tans is delight to the eye. The i'm agination is also moved to picture the inhuman cruelty, the stark tragedy and the sinister intrigue that is known to have been enacted within the battle
 ments of this palace that was also fortress.
