O. MrINTYRK. New York, April 26— A single va cant tabic for two in a crowded mid night supper club recently symbolised tragedy. The gay young Broadway butterfly who engaged It had been slain in her bijou apartment a few hour before. But Broadway danced on. It was at this table the young beauty who only a few years ago had come from a cross-roads hamlet, eat weaving her golden webs atound the middle-aged men who Narclseus Jlkc sought the reflection of youth in her fair face. The girl was typical of the type one secs with the old flaneur of the boulevards whose hair has depart'd with illusions. She was blonde. Imbbed and vivacious. Shs packed her kit itiig with dreams and came to Broadway to become a‘golden moth about the white hot flame. Youth is their supreme asset, but they value It lightly. In a few years i heir beauty is tarnished by dissipa tion. Then they go Into the discard and become Broadways shuttered flowers. And Broadway believes in letting the dead bury Its dead. The men who seek thesy glrle and for a little while bestow limousines r>nd jewels are usually past middle age and divorced. Barber* and labor* succeed In clipping off many years and with this semblance of youth they seek the holy grails with feigned ardor. In the past year three of these glrle Broadway calls "blue-eyed cafe !»ables" have ipeeii found mysteriously slain. In each case the police found pictures of prominent men, who had been devoted to them, In their apart ments. There Is slwsys sn end to the but terfly trail—aometlmrs It Is murder •ml other times it is disgrace and a -lab In the potter'a field. But what ever It Is. this light living street al ways exact* the cruel and Inevitable toll. T/ong Branch la a haven for Broad way theatrical try-out*.

"Verily we are Hod'* and to Him shall we return," said the Moor. That waa the beginning of a friend ship between Sir diver and thla man. whoae name waa Yusuf ben Milk ier The Muslim conceived lhat In Sir Oliver h*- saw one upon whom the grace **r Allah had descended, one who was ripe to receive the prophet's message Yusuf was ilc vout, and he applied himself to the conversion of his fellow slave. Sir Oliver listened to hint, however, with Indifference. Having discarded on* creed he would need a deal of satisfy ing on the score of another before he adopted It, and It seemed to him that all the glorinU* things urged by Yusuf In praise of Islam ha had heard be fore In praise of Christianity. But he kept his counsel on that score rnj meanwhile his intercourse with the.Muslim had the effect of teach ing the lingua franca, so that at the end of six months he found himself speaking it like a Mauretanian with all the Muslim's Imagery and with more than the ordinary seasoning of Arabic. It was towards the end or tnsi six months that the event took place which was to restore Sir Oliver to liberty. In the meanwhile those limbs of his which had ever been vigorous heyond the common wont had acquired an elephantine strength. It was ever thus at the oar. Either you died under the strain, or your thews and sinews grew to he equal to their relentless task. Sir Oliver In those six months was become a man of steel and Iron, impervious to fatigue, superhuman almost in hla endurance. They were returning home from a trip to Genoa when one evening as they were standing off Minorca In the Balearic Isles they were surprised by a fleet of four Muslim galleys which csme skimming round a prom ontory to surround and engage them. Aboard the Spanish vessel there broke a terrible cry of "Asad-ed Din" —the name of the most redoubtable Muslim corsair since the Italian rene gade Oohlall—the All Pasha who had been killed at Depanto. Trumpets blared and drums beat on the poop, and the Spaniards In morion snd corselet, armed with callvers snd pikes, stood to defend their lives and liberty. The gunners sprang to the culverins. But fire had to he kindled and linstocks ignited, and In the con fusion much time was lost—so much that not a single canno« ahot was fired before the grappling irons of the first galley clunked upon snd ■ripped the Spaniard’s bulwarks. The schock of the Impact was terrific. The armored prow of the Muslim Igallwy—Asad-ed Din's own—smote the Spaniard a slanting blow amidships that smashed fifteen of the oars as if they had been so many withered twigs. There was a shriek from the slaves, followed by such piteous groans as the damned In hell may emit. Kully two score of them had been struck by the shafts of their oars as these were hurled hack against them. Home had been killed outright, others lay limp and crushed, some with broken baejes, othera with shattered limbs and ribs Hlr Oliver would assuredly have been of these but for the warning, advice snd example of Yusuf, who was well versed In galley fighting and who foresaw dearly what must happen. He thrust, the oar upward and forward aa fsr as It would go. compelling the others at his bench lo accompany his movement. Then he slipped down upon bis knees, re leased his hold of the timber, and crouched down until his shoulders were on a level with the bench. He hail Shouted to Hlr Oliver to follow his example, and Hir Oliver, without' [»*** IttotoHi* *M to*to*tot#* M»«M (»•>*•>« **< (f*l » *■♦*** M* to l;m*M*<* f*w* tto MM* * >-•••»• * M i «* |n tot tot It t #»«M Tto to* ••• **««*•» DM IMPMM M*l *M #** n jMMtMM”* tol H «*• fto* Mto* M«tl» [><i| to M IM iht** *1 tit* M*t It »*M *w«*l**t* IM MM** » M *•*«*•*• .♦**« **** *♦«* M*4l M to I to*) |M I totot WM*t (It, toll*) »*■>»».f)l to M M ImmmI il>* 1** tMUHtll Mi H*4 M **41** *•**. **4 * •**•** •** M»«M kM •*»«• ik* ♦.*.»# *I%* ‘I... .(*1.
