1 CHAPTER IV Continued
Judah got down from the back of
2iis horse nd having thrown the rein
over the branch of a tree he started
after the volunteer guide Half a mile
distant at the edge of a thick piece
of wood the Israelite was informed
that he must submit to be hoodwinked
He made no objections and the rob
ber proceeded to bind a sash over his
eyes after which he was led some
distance further by a winding tor
tuous way and when the bandage was
removed he found himself in a low
vale beneath a roof of thick foliage
and in the presence of a hundred armed
men One man a handsome noble
looking youth arose and approached
him to whom his guide reported what
had transpired
Do you seek Julian asked the
stately youth looking upon the Israel
ite with a searching glance
Yessir replied Judah as frankly
and calmly as though he had been an
swering one of his own brethren
1 am Julian said the chieftain
quietly
Then sir returned the newcomer
with a low bow to you I present my
petition
First who are you
My name is Judah and I have been
a servant in the train of the king of
Damascus
Ah is it so The chieftain may
have looked a little more sharply into
the mans face but he betrayed no sur
prise You spoke of a petition What
is it
Judah removed his mantle and then
stripped off his tunic thus baring his
back to the gaze of those who stood
around
Do you see that back he cried
quivering and grinding his teeth Do
you see where the cruel lash has eaten
Into my flesh Horam king of Da
mascus put that stain upon me Do
you wish me to say more
I think you would be revenged upon
the king said Julian
I would be placed in the very front
-of that force which is to strike at
Horam or at anything belonging to
Tiim I am not of Damascus born and
my love is not there I would join my
fortunes with those of Julian
After a very short conference with
some of his companions the chieftain
informed Judah that he might remain
where he was and that if he proved
himself worthy he would be received
into full fellowship
The Israelite expressed himself as
thankful for the favor thus conferred
and was soon allowed to mingle with
the members of the band For two days
he ate with them and joined them in
their sports and during that time he
knew that watchful eyes were upon
liim But he was equal to the task and
on the third day he was counted as
one of them
On the fourth day one of the senti
nels brought a black man into the
camp who gave his name as Osmer
and who said that he had escaped from
a tyrannical master in Aleppo And he
furthermore said that he had a com
panion who was hiding somewhere in
the forest Before noon said compan
ion made his appearance announcing
Tiis name as Selim and when the two
had been questioned their stories were
so harmonious and so frank that they
were suffered to remain and finally
they were allowed to perform the
duties of body servant to the chieftain
Judah could have asked for nothing
better thus far and he was resolved
that his further plans should be care
fully and surely laid
Ah Julian little dreamed of the
danger that was creeping upon him
CHAPTER V
Caged
The circumstances which might have
led another to hasten his operations
led the Israelite to greater care and re
flection He had not supposed that
Julian would take the two black men
to service so near his own person and
when he found that such arrangement
had been made his first inclination
was to hesitate least a suspicion of the
slaves honesty had led the chieftain to
place them thus near him However
after the lapse of a few days Judah
was satisfied that no suspicion was en
tertained against himself or his com
panions and he began to turn his at
tention to the work he had in hand
On the morning of the fourth day
Julian announced his intention of mov
ing and gave orders that his men
should be in readiness A spy had ar
rived during the night with intelli
gence that a large caravan was on its
way from Tyre to Damascus and the
chieftain had determined to intercept
it Some wealthy merchants from
Borne were in the approaching train
and it was probable that they bore
wealth for Horam
Just as the sun was rising while Ju
flah was In the wood after his horse
te was accosted by Osmir who had
ieen out on an errand for the chief
Aain
Ah my master said the black
gazing carefully around to see that he
was not observed I am glad that I
lave met you I have been wondering
whether you meant to carry out the
rplan which brought us here
Why have you wondered at such a
thing asked Judah
Because replied Osmir I have

made up my mind that if the choice of
masters were left to me I should
choose to serve Julian rather than the
king of Damascus I like him much
the best He is not such a terrible
man as he has been represented He
is a kind generous man and I blame
him not for- his hatred of Horam
Well sir said the Israelite speak
ing quickly and sternly do you think
of turning your face from the work we
have to do
No no my master I am not so
determined I shall follow you Your
commands must be my law If you say
proceed I am with you
And how is it with Selim
You have nothing to fear my mas
ter from him The two men whom you
selected to accompany you will not
betray you Selim thinks of this rob
ber chieftain as I do but he is bound
to his duty and will perform it
Judah knew the characters and dis
positions of the two and he felt no un
easiness
My good Osmir he said with a
smile concerning this Scourge of
Damascus I feel much as you feel I
have long known that he was a noble
true hearted man But he is an enemy
of our king and we have promised to
capture him Just think for a mo
ment what must be the result if we
take him and convey him in safety to
Damascus Think what people will
say of Osmir and Selim Now the mer
chants of Damascus are in fear and
trembling on account of this terrible
Scourge and the king sits uneasily
upon his throne but if we arrest the
dreaded chieftain and deliver him up
the merchants will rejoice and the
king will be grateful And upon whom
shall their thanks and their honors
fall
This speech pleased Osmir and fired
him up to new zeal in the work he had
undertaken Judah moved out from
the cover to observe if any one was ap
proaching and when he was satisfied
that he was still safe he returned and
gave Osmir slch instructions as he
deemed necesary He was careful that
all should be understood and that each
projected movement should be so ar
ranged that there could be no possible
clashing He knew the wit and tem
per of his associates and he had no
fear that they would disappoint him
by any blunder or mistake
And now said the Israelite after
his directions had been given if we
are at all favored by fortune we shall
most surely succeed Thus far fortune
has been upon our side Your position
near the person of Julian is most fa
vorable Impart our arrangements
carefully to Selim and await my fur
ther signal
Osmir promised obedience and the
two men separated Judah going in
search of his horse wfeile Osmir pro
ceeded directly to the camp where
having delivered a message to the
chieftain he sought Selim and in a
little while the two were in secret con
sultation
Toward the middle of the forenoon
the robber train was in motion and
when it came night they camped in an
open wood between two hills near to
the road which led from Caesarea Phil
ippi to Damascus and here they were
to remain until the expected caravan
made its appearance
Sometimes Julian took his tent with
him when leading his band upon long
expeditions but on the present occa
sion he had left it behind choosing
that the place of his encampment
should be as little noticeable as pos
sible After he had seen his sentinels
all posted and given such directions
as he thought necessary he sought a
place of rest beneath a large tree
where he soon sank into a dreamy
slumber It must have been near mid
night when he was aroused by some
one moving near him and on starting
up he was addressed by Osmir
My master I have a strange mes
sage for you
The chieftain arose to a sitting pos
ture
Is this Osmir
Yes
From whom bring you a message
From one my master whom I had
little expected to see here As I walked
forth a short time since a sentinel in
formed me that some one outside of
the camp wished to speak with me I
went to the spot designated and there
found a young bond maiden of Damas
cus Her name was Albia
Albia cried Julian starting to his
feet Why such was the name of the
maiden who attended upon the prin
cess Ulin
Aye my lord she is the same
What Do you mean that the bond
maiden of Ulin is at our camp
She is
What is her business
She wishes to speak with Julian
But her business of what does she
wish to speak
She did not tell me my lord She
would only say that she was the boad
maiden of Ulin and she desired to see
you I knew her not but she seemed
so gentle and so timid and used your
name so eloquently that I could not
doubt her I think her story is true
I think she is what she represents her
self to be
Did -she not tell you from whom she
came
No unless her announcement that
Scii
she was the bondmalden of the prin
cess Ulin may be taken in answer to
the query
By the lyre of Apollo she must
have come from her mistress ex
claimed the chieftain warmly The
princess may be In trouble She may
need stout arms to help her Lead me
to this bondmalden at once
She begged my lord that she might
not be exposed
Lead on I will see her
The great road wound around
the foot of the hill and ere long the
guard had reached a point so utterly
shut oft from the camp that his loud
est cry could not have been heard by
the robber sentinels
Is the girl here asked Julian as
his sable guide stopped and turned
She must be very near here my
lord I left her upon this very spot
The chieftain heard a slight rustling
behind him but not being startled
into quick action before he could turn
he received a blow upon the side of
the head that felled him to the earth
He was for the moment stunned and
before his reason was clear enough to
direct his movements he was set upon
by three stout men who bound his
arms and legs so quickly that his
power of resistance was gone before
he fairly knew what opposed him
Sir Robber spoke the Israelite
bending over the prostrate chieftain
you are my prisoner and henceforth
you are in my keeping until I deliver
you up to iny master You cannot es
cape me so do not trouble yourself
with the attempt
You are Judah said the chieftain
I am
And these others are professed to
be of Aleppo
Yes
And you three serve the king of Da
mascus
You have guessed the truth
By the gods muttered Julian as
though communing with himself I
should have guessed this before I
have been blind I have acted like a
child But I am not yet quite lost
I am still within the
The Israelite had been watching him
narrowly and when he saw that the
chieftain had a disposition to call for
help he sprang upon him and stopped
his mouth
Do not blame yourself Sir Robber
Judah of Damascus has done more dif
ficult work than this and you may
take to yourself the assurance that
when he set out upon his mission the
deed was sure of its accomplishment
Ah here comes Selim with the horses
You shall have an easy ride and a
quick one and when you are in the
presence of the king you can plead
your case as eloquently as you please
I have not time to listen nor have I
the power to judge
The Scourge of Damascus in the full
vigor of robust manhood and possess
ed of a strength and daring beyond
any of his stalwart followers was a
prisoner in the hands of
three slaves a prisoner within
sound of his own camp and so surely
a prisoner that he had no way of es
cape His steel wrought muscles were
powerless beneath the cruel bonds and
his mouth was stopped from the utter
ance of alarm He was lifted from the
ground and placed upon the back of
a powerful horse and in a few mo
ments more he was being borne swiftly
away t from his friends and compan
ions away towards the city where
dwelt his deadliest enemies

WHITE GIRL AS INDIAN
She Has Had a Strange Ufa Among the
Blaokfeet
The curious story of a white girls
life among the Blackfeet Indians for
16 years just come out through a suit
brought by Alice Burke against Thom
as Husson a cattle rancher of Eastern
Oregon to recover a ranch which once
belonged to her father and is now
valued at 22000 dollars says the Chi
cago Herald Burke and old Husson
started to cross the plains from Kansas
to Oregon Burke was detained and
sent his girl then two years old with
Mrs Husson Husson sold the child to
a Blackfoot Indian Chief for 12 ponies
and when Burke arrived in Oregon
told him that Alice had died Six years
ago Burke died and the Hussons have
been in possession of his ranch Alice
meanwhile grew up among the tribe
and when white people noticed her fine
hair the Indians said she was a half
breed whose parents were dead She
gained the love of the son of a chief
named Fleetwing who was sent to
Carlisle When he was there Alice took
lessons of the Indian agents wife and
kept pace with him in his studies
When the agent was removed she went
with him to Boise City but his wife
died and she had to take a place as
a servant and was a kitchen drudge
for many months Then Fleetwing sent
her money and she returned to the
reservation The revelation of her
white blood came when she was an ap
plicant for a place in a big tribal cere
mony Then young Husson appeared
and told her the story but offered her
only 100 for her fathers property
She refused and investigated and is
now suing for the recovery of the land
When she gets it she is to marry John
Fleetwing

THE AMERICAN SHEEP
MARKED INCREASE IN OUR
DOMESTIC FLOCKS
Cenius for 1001 Shows a Gala Alike In
Number Owned and lu Average Value
Per Head Oier the Splendid Spring of
Lat Year
In view of the present low price of
wool throughout the world the lowest
known for many years and the great
prostration now prevailing In the wool
and sheep industry in every country
except the United States it Is Interest
ing to know how the American sheep
farmer fares He fares best among all
his competitors very much the best
His industry has not been ruined far
from it He is infinitely better off
than are the sheep and wool producers
of the rest of creation Vastly better
off he is than during the disastrous
free wool period of 1894 97 and the
succeeding two years of a hone mar
ket over stocked for foreign wools
brought here free of duty So great
was the glut of foreign wool under the
Wilson tariff law that it was not until
1900 that our domestic growers began
to feel the benefit of the duty on wool
restored by the Dingley tariff Even
now there is on hand a considerable
quantity of the free wool that was
rushed in during the closing months
of the Wilson law
A year ago the sheep census of The
American Protective Tariff league
showed some surprising results Con
trasted with the free wool period of
1890 the census for 1900 showed a gain
of 7144 per cent in the total number
of sheep owned and a gain of 12159 per
cent in average value per head But
this was before the bottom dropped
out of the worlds wool markets Since
then the great slump in wool values
has taken place
Have American flocks decreased and
has their value per head declined along
with the sheep of Australia South
America and other wool producing
countries Decidedly not
On the contrary the sheep census
of 1901 just completed by the Ameri
can Protective Tariff League shows
Number of states reporting 40
Number of reports received 707
Sheep owned March 1901 1464781
Sheep owned March 1900 1256738
Gain for 1901 208043
Percentage of gain for 1900 1655
It is found that against an average
value of 390 per head in March 1900
the average value for March 1901
was 404 an increase of 14 cents per
head or 359 per cent
It would appear that the American
sheep raiser has a marked advantage
over the flock masters of the rest of the
world First he has in his favor a
protective tariff which fixes an irre
ducible minimum of market value for
his fleeces Unless the foreign grow
er sells his wool for nothing he can
not compete with the domestic grower
in the American market The Dingley
tariff takes care of that Second the
average value per head of American
sheep is kept up by the enormous de
mand for mutton and lambs for food
purposes The American wage earner
when busily employed at high wages
as he has been for three or four years
past and now is consumes from three
to thirty times more meat than the
other wage earners of the world He
is fond of good mutton and juicy lamb
and he is a tremendous consumer of
these meats In fact he is the best
customer the American butcher has
It is not the rich people but the wage
earners that keep the butcher shops
going It is no longer possible as it
was in 1896 under Wilson tariff free
wool to buy a good sheep for fifty
cents That day has passed and will
come no more as long as the tariff on
wool protects the wool grower while
the tariff on all lines of production
makes times good wages high and the
consuming capacity of 76000000 peo
ple three to thirty times greater than
the consuming capacity of the rest of
the people on earth
Condensed into a form easily read
and understood the sheep census of
the American Protective Tariff league
for 1901 is as follows
Number No of sheep owned in
of March March

Commercial Isolation
In an article deprecating the grow
ing conviction in the south that the
same kind of protection which has
wMufcmmiWiMtTMimiWi i WW
built up the manufactures and wealth
of the world would be also good for
that section of our country the New
fork Times warns them that they
in so doing lose sight of the fact that
the logical result of protection would
be commercial Isolation
Logic Is defined as the science of
the distinction of truo from false rea
soning If the result of the Dingley
tariff has effected the commercial Iso
lation of this country the logical result
of developing the manufactures and
wealth of the south might bo Its com
mercial Isolation But the article In
question Is headed Increasing Exports
from the south but the increase as
shown has occurred since the Dingley
tariff went Into effect and we all have
been assured that if we dont buy wo
cant sell
The fact Is there is no logic In
about nor anywhere near the assertion
that protection leads to commercial
isolation The editor of the Times has
apparently mistaken Mr Gladstones
advice that we grow more cheap cot
ton and wheat for logic
SOUND AND SENSIBLE
Philadelphia Manufactures Club
Strongly Opposed to Tariff Herlilou
The significance of the action of the
Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia
on the subject of tariff revision and
reciprocity taken in connection with
the statement of President Search of
the National Association of Manufac
turers given in another column can
not but suggest Itself to every mind
It means that the Philadelphia organi
zation the largest and most influential
of its kind in the United States is un
alterably opposed to tariff tinkering
in any and all forms whether by out
right alteration of the schedules or
by a scheme of special trade treaties
which calls for a reduction of duties
on competitive products At a largely
attended meeting of the Manufacturers
club of Philadelphia held on the even
ing of June 17 1901 the following
resolutions previously adopted by the
board of directors were by a unani
mous vote ratified by the club as a
whole
Whereas The great and acknowledged
prosperity which this country enjoys today
Is directly traceable to the Protective system
under which our revenues are raised and our
industries have been developed and the condi
tions created which have given us a com
manding position In the worlds trade and
Whereas This country by popular vote has
many times and very recently recorded it
self in favor of the Protective principle so
that this is no longer a mooted question and
Whereas Such Imperfections as are insep
arable from any Tariff law are more appar
ent than real inasmuch as any Tariff sched
ule which may seem to be excessive or un
necessary becomes inoperative when the ne
cessity for Protection ceases thus automatic
ally removing the burden and
Whereas The disastrous experience caused
by the agitation for Tariff revision prior to
and during 1S94 is still fresh in our minds
therefore be it
Resolved That the Manufacturers Club
of Philadelphia deprecates any attempt to re
vive Tariff legislation as a menace to our con
tinued prosperity and
Resolved That should the alteration of any
part of the Tariff schedules seem necessary
in the judgment of the Industrial Commis
sion now investigating the subject the same
should be taken out of politics and be made
the subject of careful revision by a non
partisan Tariff commission and
Resolved That In adhering to the prin
ciple of reciprocity as originally formulated
in the Republican platform of 1900 to wit
We favor the associated policy of reciproc
ity so directed as to open our markets on
favorable terms for what we do not ourselves
produce in return for free foreign markets
and as expressed in existing laws operating
through the Tariff which provide for con
cession on articles not produced by ourselves
in exchange for like concessions on our do
mestic products having in view the preserva
tion of the integrity of our home markets we
have a valuable means for the expansion of
our world trade without injury to our indus
tries
The whole question of tariff and
reciprocity is contained in these reso
lutions In them the attitude of the
great body of industrial leaders
throughout the United States is we
believe accurately defined There
shall be no tariff tinkering on the dis
honest plea that the trust evil may be
thereby remedied or for any other
reason now apparent There shall be
no experiments in the line of foreign
trade expansion which take from any
domestic industry the measure of pro
tection guaranteed by the tariff law as
it now stands no displacement of
American labor no decrease of em
ployment and wages through the in
creased admission of foreign made
goods competing with goods of like
character now being successfully pro
duced in this country Sound Repub
lican doctrine sound protection sound
patriotism sound practical business
common sense
A Warning
The Protection organ the Economist if
it has any discreet friends will stop its call
ing Representative Dabeock a traitor because
he has expressed the opinion that it would
be well to reduce certain duties The delib
erations of the National Association of Man
ufacturers and its resolution should be a
warning to that element not to be arbitrary
in affairs which concern the Republican party
rather than the Economist Indianapolis
Journal
Perhaps a careful reading of the
statement of President Search as to
what the National Association of
Manufacturers did and did not do on
the subject of tariff revision might
suggest to the Journal that the warn
ing in question applies not so much
to the friends as to the enemies of
protection
They Mean Business
In 1894 we were producing 128000
tons of pig iron per week Now we
are producing and using over 300000
tons per week Protection and pig
iron are great friends and both mean
business and the farmer is just as
much interested as the manufacturer
and laborer
Greatest Consuming Nation
The population of the world is about
1600000000 of the United States
77000000 or about one twentieth Yet
we consume about one third of the

a resident of South Auburn had a
thrilling encounter with a big rattle
snake today and the ever handy ket

life As she stood in her cellar kitchen
near the cook stove she was startled
to hear a rattling noise the like of
which she had never heard before She
was charmed at first and then terrified
at the long reptile which was winding
its way down the cellar stairs When
she recovered from her fright some
what she started toward the snake
with a rolling pin and it curled Into
an ominous coil Then its rattle rang
out furiously and she retreated to the
stove and seizing a kettle of hot wa

writhed and soon died Some time
afterward Mrs Peterson went Into the

Engines Using Potrojeum Fuel
The Southern Pacific company on its
Pacific system has 779 engines to
which have just been added fifty en
gines ordered last year and to which
are to be added 103 for which orders
are now outstanding The company
now has ninety five engines using pe
troleum fuel while an order has been
issued for the equipment of all engines
for burning petroleum Estimating
the consumption of the engines at
twenty one barrels of oil each day for
300 days in the year the consuming
power of the engines will be 5884200
barrels Compared with coal the use
of oil fuel when established through
out the system will represent a saving
to the company of 4203000 annually
as determined by previous experience
