They were the choicest and most favored from the harem of Ka- sim Baba, and since early morn they had been in the slave pens, Javanesi girls, Chinese girls, beautiful Ara. Dians, dark skinned girls from the Indies and fair Albinos, all were bunched together waiting to go upon the auction block. In a separate slave pen were a doz- en young girls from the desert, wild rs who whirled like dervishes in a desert storm and 80 rough in their play that the slave dealer thought best to keep them sep- arate, Among the desert women was Zahrat-al-Kulub, she who was to be gold with the rest that very day. Slave boys sprinkled water upon the dry sand to settle the dust. Others brought eluborate mats to spread upon the ground. The sound of @ tom-tom droned lazily through the alr. Then a gong sounded, and Mukbill, auctioneer, attended by two keepers dressed in white and carry- ing long bamboo poles, entered the slave ring. Mounting a raised dais in the cen- tre of the inclosure, he unrolled a parchinent and read: “Be it known unto thee, O Mukbill, Public auctioneer of slaves, that I, Al Malik-al-Nasir, slave dealer, have granted unto Kasim Baba the use this mid-afternoon of my private slave market for the selling of his slaves. And thou, O Mukbill, shall have the selling of the slaves and the rendering of the accounts to me, Allah's blessing on thee and on the welll bt He rolled up the parchment and put it to one side. “Where be Kasim Baba’s steward, Abdullah?” he asked, “Here, O Mukbill,” replied Abdul- lah, coming forward, (Based on Oscar Ashe’s Play.) “Are thy master’s slaves ready for the ring?" "Yeh. They be all bedecked and ‘elled and bewra: in their fi ent even as they shall walk for “Then we but await the coming of the master Kasim for the opening of the market.” “Yeh. None shall enter to the sell- ing save at his bidding.” “NAUGHT BUT GOOD PERSIAN “Yeh; here be the list,” replied Al- Fd buying and eeilin, m. colom, Mukbill took the list and read off the names. The gates were opened and a motley throng poured Into the slave market. Slave boys bearing mats and bags of gold preceded the buyers and arranged comfortable places for them upon the ground. An elderly man with white beard chuck- led as he looked at some of the slaves in the pens. A short and fussy and fat woman buyer carefully {n- spected all she could see, then direct~ ed her slave boys to joeed her bags of gold on the ground before her, The sound of tom-toms filled the air. Mukbill struck upon a drum to com. mand silence. “All those bidden, then, are here?” he inquired. “Yeh, all that be on the Ist,” re- plied Abdullah. “Yet, O gracious lady, thy lord’s guest of yesternight, the Chinese merohant, Chu Chin Chow, is without and prays for admittance.” “Yeh, my lord did bid him to the Belling. Lot him enter.” ‘Abdullah went to the gates and Ee 4 GOLD IS TAKEN FOR THESE SLAVES,” SAID THE AUCTIONEER. A gong sounded outside the gates. The voice of Alcolom was heard de- Manding admittance, The gate eepers threw open the gates and Al- colom, reclining upon a gorgeous | ter, was brought in by bearers, at- tended by a guard of scimitars, She directed that her palanquin be set down opposite the gates of the slave market, Abdullah prostrated himself before her. “Rise, O Abdulla “Thy master is with pains internal and infernal. “The fruits of last night's feasting,” murmured the steward, with a smile. “Therefore come I in his stead to gee the carrying out of his commands demands,” continued the fat wife. aring is obeying,” said Abdul- Jah, salaaming.

Mukbill then struck his gong. “Zahrat-al-Kulub and the desert dancers, come into the ring,” com- manded Abdullah, With a wild shrill ery and many strange yolls, a dozen of the desert girls sprang over the bars of their pens and leaped into the ring, their hatr flying wildly their bodies panting and twisting as they gyrated this way and that, keeping time to a strange weird music, Behind them came Zohrat-al-Kulub herself, dark, fierce, sullen, yet strangely beautiful. The buyers crowded around eagerly to Inspect the desert women, “For Zahrat-al-Kulub and the desert women, what is bid?’ asked Mukbill. The short, fat woman buyer raisod her hand. “Before we bid for tho| desert women, O Mukbill, let them display their gifts,” sho cried, in a shrill voice, yeh, make them display their s#itts,” added the chorus of other buy- 01 ers. Mukbill pounded upon his gong for silence. “Zahrat-al-Kulub and the desert women, display your gifts,” he com- inanded. Then began @ scene of almost in- describable life and motion, as the wild desert women danced madly in an orgy of animation, whirling, throbbing, twisting their bodies, throwing themselves prostrate upon the ground to keep in rhythm with the strange music of the tom-toms; and above all else, as they shouted in thelr wild dance, could be seen the sullen, grim figure of Zahrat-al- Kulub, the secret slave of the robber shayk, who had ayed to him tho secret of this slave selling which Drought out so many beautiful slaves and so much wealth on the part of the buyers. It was indeced a rich harvest sho had prepared for him, thought Zabrat-al-Kulub, as she stood in the centre of the slave m: ket of El Kabar and faced the aint ter Abu Hasan, the robber of man- kind. CHAPTER X. THE RAID ON THE SLAVE MARKET. S the dance of the desert women ended, and they threw themselves prostrate upon the floor, a Babel of noise | ensued. | “Five thousand dinar,” erled one buyer, “A thousund more,” cried an- other. “I'll bid ten thousand for the lot," shouted another, “Two hun- dred more than thee,” yelled the fat woman buyer at the top of her voice. The shouts and cries made it difficult | to understand anything. | The drum of the auctioneer mado all pause, Then was heard the voice of Chu: “Nay, hold,” he cried. “Put all the lota together, all the slaves, and 1 buyers, Wh, will bid against the sayest thou, O Mukbil "Nay, it is against all law and cus- tom to alter the proceedings of t! ale as set down by him who sells, protested the fat woman buyer, (To Re Continued Monday.)
