And Mesroor was displeased and said to the Khaleefeh: He spoke truth who said: Wo Y nd religion. Then the Lady Zubeydeh i O Prince of the Faithful, thou | jestest with me, and this slave deceiveth me for the purpose of pleasing thee. But will send and see which of them is dead. The Khaleefeh said: Do so. So she called an old woman, a kahra- maneh, and said to her: Repair quickly to the house of Nuzhet-el-Fuad and see who is dead, and delay not thy return. | And the old woman went, running. The | Khaleefeh and Mesroor remained,laughing. | | And Abu-el-Hasansaw tae kahramaneh beydeh to console her, | - thy head long | thyself | mercy upon her and acquit | He then returned and informed the Kha- | en are deficient in sense | Nuzhet-el-Tuad: Truly, eversthing that | is slippery is not a pancake, and notevery | time that the jar i3 struck doth it escape | unbroken. It seemeththatthe old woman | hath gone and related her story to the | lady Zubeydeh, and she and Mesroor have | contended together, and so the Khaleefeh | and the Lady Zubevdeh and Mesroor and | the old woman have all four come to in- quire respecting our death. Now we will | both feign to be dead, and bandage our eves and lay ourselves out, holding our | breath. And she assented to his proposal. | So they stretched themselves and he!d | their breath, lying with their heads toward | the Kibleh, and covered themselves with | the izar. And the Khaleefch and Zubeydeh and Mesroorand the old woman entered and saw | them lying thus, and the Lady Zubeydeh | | wept and said: By their assértions they have killed my slave-girl, for I imagine that she hath actually died because of her excessive grief for the death of Abu-I- | | "Hnsan the Wag. And the Kha}eefeh] said: Cease thy talk, for Abu-l-Hasan | |came to me with his clothes torn | and his turban disordered, and striking | his bosom with two clods, and I gave him a hundred pieces of gold and a piece of | silk, and promised him another wife in | | the place of Nuzhet-el-Fuad. But it ap- pears that her loss was to him unsupporta- ble, so be hath died after her. 8o I have won from thee thy wager. But the Lady Zubeydeh denied, and between him and | her there arose a great dispure, and be- | tween Mesroor ana the old woma: | Then the Khaleefeh seated himself at the head of the two corpses and said: By the tomb of the prophet of Allah! (may God bless and save him) and by the tombs of my ancestors, if any one would tell me which of them died before the other I | wouid give him a thousand pieces of gold. | And upon this Abu-l-Hasan sprang up | and said: It was I who died first, O Prince of the Faithful, so give to me the thousand pieces of gold and acquit thyself of thine | oath. Then Nuzhet-el-Fuad sat up and arose, and the Khaleefeh and the Lady | Zubeydeh rejoiced at their safety, but | Zubeydeh chid her slave-girl, saying | Thou shouldst have appealed to me | |and not have tortured my heart in manner. O my mistress, replied 3 uad, T was ashamed.’ But as | for the Khaleefeh, he was almost senseless | witix laughter, and he said to Abu-l-Hasan : | Thou hast not ceased to be a wag. Abu-l- Hasan said: © Prince of the Faithful, this strategem I practiced because of the dissipation of my wealth, for I am not tenacious of wealth, and since thou hast given me this slave-girl if I possessed all thy wealth I should make an end of it. Therefore, I practiced this strategem, by which I obtained as an alms from thee this hundred pieces of gold and the piece | of silk. And now make haste to give me | the thousand pieces of gold and acquit | thyself of thine oath. | And the Kbaleefeh said: Thou re-| mindest me that I promised to thee a | salary. So they returned to the palace, AND KHALEEFEB AND ZUBEYDEH SAW THEM LYING THUS.

And he took what the Khaleefeb had given him and went to his abode joyful, and Nuzhet-el-Fuad rejoiced, and they put these pieces of gold upon the other and the piece of brocade upon the other, regarding them and laughing ateach other. But when the Khaleefeh had leit his ball of judement he went in to the Lady Zubey- deh, leaning upon Mesroor, his execationer, to console the Lady Zubeydeh for the loss of her slave-girl. He found her, however, sitting weeping anc waiting for his arrival t she might console him for the loss of Abu-1-Hasan the Wa He said to he May thy head long survive thy slave-g het-el-Fuad! But she replied, O d, Allah preserve my slave-girl! M st long survive thy boon-companion, Hasan the Wag. And the sefeh smiled and said to his eunuch, Mesroor, O Mesroor, verily arc of little sex By Allah, was not Abu-I-1lasan just now with me? i besom, saying: Have done g is dead, but thou must make my slave-girl to be dead also, as though we had lost them both? And the aleefeh replied: Verily Nuzhet-el-Fuad person who is dead.

And the Khalceieh laughed and said : None is dead but Nuzhet-el-I'uad! And the Lady Zubeydeh said: No! No! No! My Jord! None isdead but Abu-l-Hasan the Wag! Butthe Khaleefeh became enraged, and the vein between his eyes, which wa remarkable in the members of the family of Hashim, throbbed, and he called out to Mesroor: Go forth and run to che house of Abu-l-Hasan the Wag, and see which of the two is dead. Mesroor therefore went forth, running. And the Khaleefeh said to the lady Zubeydeh: I will wager you my Garden of Delights against thy pavi ion, the Pay Nuzhet-el-Fuad is dead. And she said: I take the wager, and I say that Abu-l-Hasan the Wag, is dead.

Now. therefore, it is best that I lie along b my feet toward Mecca, that the old woman may see that I am dead and the Lady Zubeydeh will believe thee. So he I himself upon the sheet and Nuzhet-el- Fuad covered him and sat at his head weeping. And the old woman entered the house and saw Abu-1-Hasan laid out, and the slave - girl sitting at his head, weeping and shrieking: See what hath befallen me! Abu - I - Hasan hath died and leit me solitary. And she said to the oid woman: O my mother, how gooa was he! The old voman re- Truly, thou art excusable, for thoa wert become habituated to him, and he was become habiinated to thee. And she added: Butthe Khaleefeh and the Lady Zubeydeh are perplexed concerning thy state, for Mesroor hath told them that thou wast dead, and the Lady Zubeydeh declareth that none is dead but Abu-l- Hasan. And Nuzhe Fuad said: O my aunt, I was but just now with my lady and she saw my afiliction for Abu-1-Hasan, my husband, and she gave me a hundred pieces of gold, and a piece of silk for the burial. And see thow. my condition, and what hath befallen me. Would that I had | died, and that he had lived. And she wept, and the old woman wept with her, and consoled her and went forth from her, and told the Lady Zubeyden what she had seen, and the Lady Zubeydeh said: Tell it to the Khaleefeh, who hath believed his arrogant slave, who hath lied, But Mesroor said: Verily this old woman lieth, for 1 saw Abu-1-Hasanin good health, and it was Nuzhet-el-Fuad who was lying dead. And the old woman said: It is thou | who liest, and thou desireth to excite a | quarrel between the Khaleefeh and the Lady Zubeydeh. Mesroor rejoined: None | lieth but thee, O ill-omened old woman, | and thy lady believeth thee, for she is of | disordered mind! And upon this the Lady | Zubeydeh was enraged, and wept. | Then the Khaleefeh smote hand upon | hand and said: I lie and my eunuch ion of the Pictures, that | lieth and thou liest and thy femaie slave | lives an’ hain’t got none now, so them as The right opinion is that we four | | heth. igo and gee who nmon% us speaketh the | trath. And they all four arose, laying | wagers one with another and quarreling, | the Lady Zubeydeh and the old woman | with Mesroor and the Khaleefeh and | Mesroor with the Lady Zubeydeh. [ And they entered the street wherein was | the house of Abu-l-Hasan the Wag, and | when Abu-l-Hasan saw them he said to aid | and the Khaleefeh gave Abu.l-Hasan the thousand pieces of gold, saying: Rececive | these as a gratuity on account of thy escape from death. And the Lady Zubey. deh gave to Nuzhet-el-Fuad a thousand pieces, saying to her the same words. And | the Khaléefeh made Abu-l-Hasan an am- | ple allowance and gave him abandant sup- | | plies, and he ceased not to live with his fe in the most enjoyable existence until they were visited by the terminator of de- | lights and the separator of friends, the | devastator of palaces and homes and the | | replenisher of the graves.

Itis not far from Washington to the mountains where people live in the most primitive style. J. C. Moffett, the well- known correspondent, went into McDow- | ell County, W. Va., on a professional trip, and among the stories he did rot write, but preserved for private friends, is one too good to keep out of print. He stopped at a log cabin and was soon on good terms with his host, who after supper said: “Stranger, I reckon yo’ won’t hev a good time to-night.” “What is up?’ queried the newspaper man. “Goin’ ter be a weddin.” Reckon yo’ kin go with me an’ the ole ooman.” The invitation was accepted and the three siarted for a five-mile walk over the mountain. When they reached the cab.n that was the center of festivities, a cracked fiddle could be heard, and several men hung around the doors and windows, for none but the dancers could be admitted inside. They were met by a rough mountaineer, to whom the newspaper man’s presence was explained. “That's all right,” said the newcomer, “but thar’s one thing. Yo'see the bride an’ groom air po’, very po’, an’ they never wore no shoes befo’ Christmas in thar bad shoes didn’t wear ’em. Jim, the groom, is sorter sensitive like, an’ high- strung, so ef yo' go with them shoes on he | might take it as a reflection on him an’ | the bride an’ go to shootin’.”” The shoes were taken off and ten min- utes later the correspondent and his host | were dancing with the mountain belles, occasionally having to _stop to pick splint- ers out of their feet.—Washington Stas. WHEN THE WHIR OF THE CABLE IS HEARD NO MORE AND THE LAMPS ON THE STREETS BURN PALE, AND THE MIST CREEPS IN FROM THE LONELY SHORE To THE SOUND OF THE FOGHORN'S WAIL, THEN, WITH MUFFLED TREAD, COME THE OLD-TIME DEAD— THE GHOSTS OF THE PIONEERS. THEY COME FROM THEIR GRAVES IN THE GOLD-VEINED MINES, FROM THEIR GRAVES IN THE SNOW-FILLED GLEN; THEY COME FROM THEIR GRAVES 'NEATH THE BROODING PINES— FROM THE REST THAT IS SWEET TO MEN. LIKE A PHANTOM HOST O’ER THE BLEAK, LONG COAST COME THE GHOSTS OF THE PIONEERS. THEY CARRY THE SHOVEL, THE PICK, THE PAN, THE AX OR THE TRUSTED GUN; AND THE CITY IS REACHED BY THE GHOSTLY VAN WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES THE HOUR OF ONE. THEN THEY FORM IN FILE AND THEY WAIT A WHILE FOR THE REST OF THE PIONEERS. THEN THEY MARCH BY FOURS TO THE HAUNTS OF OLD THROUGH STREETS THAT ARE NEW OF NAME; AND THE STONES ARE PROUD, AS THOUGH MADE OF GOLD, "NEATH THE TREAD OF THE MEN OF FAME; AND THE MIST FALLS DOWN O’ER THE SILENT TOWN To WELCOME THE PIONEERS. AS THEY PASS EACH PLACE OF THE EARLY DAYS EACH FACE WEARS A TENDER SMILE; EACH RIGHT HAND, IN SALUTING, STRAYS ToO A BROW THAT IS FREE FROM GUILE. AND THE OLD-TIME LIGHT SHINES SERENE AND BRIGHT IN THE E OF THE PIONEERS. A AND SOME MEN THINK OF THE GOLD THEY GAINED, AND SOME OF THE GOLD THEY LOST; 4 AND SOME MEN THINK HOW THE SOIL WAS STAINED By THE BLOOD THAT THEIR CONQUEST COST. BUT ALL ARE SURE THAT THEIR LIVES WERE PURE— THE LIVES OF THE PIONEERS. AND SOME MEN DREAM OF THE BOYHOOD'S LOVE THEY LOST WHEN THEY VENTURED WEST; OF HER EYES THAT DAZZLED GOD’S SKIES ABOVE, OF HER LIPS THEY HAD NEVER PRESSED; AND STRONG MEN WEEP As THEY ONWARD SWEEP IN THE RANKS OF THE PIONEERS. AND SOME MEN SIGH AS THEY SEE THE SIGNS OF THE PREMATURE DECAY OF A TOWN ON WHICH GOD’S SPLENDOR SHINES AND THE GREAT WINDS BLOW ALWAY, AND A TINGE OF PAIN FILLS THE HEARTS AGAIN OF THE ROUGH OLD PIONEERS. FOR THEY HATE TO THINK THAT A WEAKENED RACE SHOULD MAR CALIFORNIA'S BREAST; AND THE EASTLAND'S PETTY WAYS DEBASE THE WAYS OF THE MIGHTY WEST, AND SOME MEN FROWN AT THE SLEEP-DRUGGED TOWN THAT HEEDS NOT ITS PIONEERS. For THEY WERE MEN TO THE UTMOST INCH, AY, MEN EIKE THE ANCIENT GREEKS; AND THEY GRIEVE TO SEE THEIR CHILDREN FLINCH ‘WHILE THE STERN VOICE OF DUTY SPEAKS, AND CALLS THEM BACK To THE BEATEN TRACK MADE CLEAR BY THE PIONEERSs. BUT LO, IN THE END, THEIR EYES GROW KIND, FOR THE FAITH IN THEIR HEARTS IS VAST: AND THEY KNOW THAT ALTHOUGH SOME MEN ARE BLIND THEY WILL FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT AT LAST, AND SPEECH WILL COME To MEN NOW DUMB— THE SPEECH OF TRUE PIONEERS. AND A VISION COMES TO UPLIFT EACH MAN OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE To BE— THE MIGHTY WESTLAND IN THE VAN WITH A VOICE LIKE THE THUNDEROUS SEA AND THE MARK OF Gobp UPON EACH SOD BELOVED OF THE PIONEERS. AND A RACE OF GREAT-SOULED MEN AND MAIDS— A THOUSAND FINE—PURE GOLD ; AND FRUITS AND FLOCKS, IN FIELDS AND GLADES, AND LAND, UNBOUGHT, UNSOLD. “GoD SPEED THE DAY,” Is WHAT THEY PRAY— THE PRAYER OF THE PIONEERS.

OALDWELL, N. J., Jan. 4—One of our prominent citizens, 8. J. Gould, who has suffered terribly from tobacco tremens, has, 10 behalf of humanity, made known his frightful experience. In his written statement, which is attracting widespread attention, he says: “I commenced using tobacco at thirteen.

It told about a guaranteed cure for the to- bacco habit called Ne-To-Bac. I sent to Draggist Hasler for a box. Without a { grain of faith I spat out my tobacco cud |and put _into my mouth a little tablet upon which was stamped No-To-Bac. I know it sounds like a lie when I tell you that 1 took eight tablets the first day seven the next, five the third day, and all the nerve-creeping feeling, restiessness and mental depression was gone. It was too good to be true. It seemed like a dream. I used one box. Itcost me $1, and it is worth a thousand. I gained ten pounds in weight and lost all desire for tobacco from the first day. 1 sleep and eat well, and I have been benefited in more ways than I can tell. “I firmly believe No-To-Bac will cure v case of tobacco-using if faithfully tried, and there are thou slaves who ought to know how eas get free.
