CHAPTER XI
Horam is Caged
Carefully the three men emerged
from the dungeon and when Osmir
had closed and bolted the door behind
them Selim went on ahead with the
lantern They were armed with good
stout swords and the blacks wore
daggers in their sashes
In what direction must we pass
out asked Julian as they came to
the end of the first valutcd passage
We must pass up where a guard is
always kept answered Osmir and
our only hope is that we may be able
to fall upon the sentinels and over
come them without creating disturb
ance enough for a general alarm
Whatever can be accomplished by
strength of arm we will accomplish
said the robber and I think we can
be shrewd enough not to strike until
we see that the blow shall fall sure
ly
You can depend upon us added
Osmir stopping while Selim opened a
door We have already placed our
lives in jeopardy and only a success
ful exit from the palace can now save
us But as I told you before there
is danger in the way
You have counted the chances
Yes
And are you ready to bide the re
sult
Yes
Hien smeet the worst If
you to set me free
risk I should be much more so
At this juncture Selim who had
opened a door and gone on a few
steps in advance came hurriedly back
with a look of alarm in his face
I hear footsteps in the passage
overhead he said in a whisper
Are you sure
Yes I heard them very plainly
What is the passage of which you
speak asked Julian
It is one through which we must
pass replied Osmir and one in
which we had expected to find no ob
stacle
It may be suggested Selim thai
a new guard has been set there
That cannot be asserted Osmir I
came through there only a short time
since and the place was empty Hark
I hear the steps from here and I
think they are coming this way Hold
a moment Remain where you are
and I will find what this means
Thus speaking Osmir glided away
into the darkness towards the point
where the stairs led down from the
upper passage After an absence of a
few minutes he returned and his first
exclamation told that he was excited
The king is coming
The king repeated Julian in a
quick deep whisper
Yes and two of his guards are
with him Some one else came as far
as the nead of the stairs with them
but I think only the king and the
guards are descending
-He must be coming to see me said
Julian
it must be so answered Osmir
for there is nothing else here for him
to see save uare damp walls and
toads
Hark Here they come I hear
their voices and can see where the
rays of their lantern breaks in the
gloom It was Selim who said his
and as he spoke he drew back and hid
his own lantern beneath the skirt of
his tunic
Our adventurers from where they
stood could see the foot of the steps
at the far end of the passage and
presently they saw two men descend
the foremost one bearing a lantern
and wearing the robes of the king
while the other seemed to be an of
ficer of the household
I see now said Osmir as he gain
ed a view of the approaching men
I was mistaken The guards have
been left behind and this is Benoni
one of the captains of the guard who
comes with the king
The robber chieftain was for a mo
ment undecided as to the course he
should pursue Once his sword was
half drawn from its scabbard but
Osmir who heard the movement
seemed to have a better idea
My master he whispered touch
ing Julian upon the arm let ns draw
back out of sight and allow them to
pass They will certainly keep on to
the dungeon we have left and we will
follow them thither
You are right replied the chief
tain They will be completely in our
power when they have passed us
Just back of where our trio stood
was the door by which they had last
passed and upon one side was a deep
niche in the wall which had evidently
been constructed for thr reception of
rubbish Into this they quickly glided
Selim so effectually cloaking his lan
tern that not a ray of light escaped
In a little while the king came near
to the hiding place with his lantern
held carefully before him and his head
bowed as tnough he was fearful that
he might make a misstep He walked
slowly and his frame shook with a
perceptible tremor When he reached
the door he stopped and turned to
wards his companions
Benoni he said I think you may
remain here This is the last passage
and I will go the rest of the way
alone
I had better accompany you to the
end sire
No I prefer to go alone

But urged the captain the way
is rough and dubious and you may
miss your step
Out upon thee for an ass cried the
king indignantly Do you think my
step Is growing feeble I tell thee it
was never stronger I will go the rest
of the way as I have said I shall find
Selim at the door of the dungeon and
he will render me such assistance as I
may need there I must see this pris
oner alone He possesses a secret
which I must fathom before he loses
his head
T beg thee sire be careful
Peace good Benoni Dont fret on
my account I know what I do Ill
find out the story of this robbers life
and then his head shall come off right
quickly Stay you here and await my
return
Thus speaking the king moved on
and when the sound of his uncertain
stumbling footfall could be no longer
heard Julian reached forth until his
hand touched one of his companions
Who is this he asked in a hush
ed whisper It was Selim I
There is no time to lose The cap
tain must be disposed of quickly Un
cover your lantern and I will throttle
him
Selim did as directed and as soon as
the rays of light fell upon the captain
the latter started to gaze about him
But his fcee TnYl movements were
quiptly terminated by a blow from the
first of the robber chieftain which
felled him to the floor and before he
could move or cry out he was securely
bound and Osmirs sash passed over
his mouth
Now cried Julian for the king
He will be an easy subject to dispose
of
And how will you dispose of him
asked Osmir
For an instant a dark thought strug
gled through Julians mind Here was
an opportunity to put his worst enemy
out of the way and at the same time
free the world from a ruler who had
ceased to do justly But the thought
was not long entertained The soul
of the chieftain was above the doing
of such a deed Osmir noticed the
hesitation and tremblingly asked
Will you kill him
No no was the quick reply That
would be too cowardly He is a poor
foolish old man whose continued life
must be the greatest curse We will
put him where he put me and let his
slaves find him after we are gone
Come I will lead to this event and
then you shall lead to the next
Without further remark the robber
moved on towards the dungeon where
he had been confined Selim going by
his side with the lantern Pretty soon
they saw the king ahead of them
whereupon Selim was suffered to go on
in advance Horam had reached the
door of the dungeon just as Selim
came up
Ha Selim is this you
Yes sire
I did not see you when I came
Yhere have you been hiding
I have not been hiding sire but
have been doing my duty
And the prisoner
He is safe
Open the door I would speak with
him He is securely chained
No mortal man can break the
chains wherewith he was bound sire
Then open quick His arms are
bound
Like iron sire
And he cannot move from his
place
The chains all center upon the bolt
in the floor
Then you may remain without Se
lim I wish to speak with the prisoner
alone
Selim had no particular understand
ing with his companions touching this
movement but he understood that
Julian would act when he saw fit so
he proceeded to unbolt the door and
throw it open
We can shut him in and leave him
whispered Osmir when he saw the
king about to pass into the dungeon
No no quickly returned Julian
I have another thought I may find
use for those royal robes which he
wears
By the gods cried Osmir the
prize is worth ten thousand times more
than I had thought If you don those
regal robes Selim and I can lead you
in safety from this place By the
blessed star it is a lucky thought Ha
He goes in Shall I accompany you
You may remain close at hand
CHAPTER XII
A Royal Disguise
Until the present time Julian had
thought of overcoming the king with
out a word of felling him to the pave
ment and binding him and leaving
him in ignorance of who had done it
but a different fancy seized him as he
saw the monarch enter the dungeon
The temptation to face his deadly
enemy and let him know to what he
owed his disgrace was too strong to
be resisted The thought that he could
now place his foot upon the neck of
the king of Damascus and grant the
poor life which he had the power to
take was not to be passed by And
then the robber chieftain had an
other reason for wishing to speak with
the king since the opportunity had
thus unexpectedly offered itself Ho
ram had come on purpose to see him
to learn some secret Our hero had a
curiosity to know what this meant
Stay a moment where you are ho
said addressing the blacks and thus
speaking he passed into the dungeon
just as the king had discovered that no
prisoner was there
PIo Selim shouted the monarch
turning his face to the door What
Is the matter here Is not this the
He stopped for the light of his lan
tern falling upon the face of the man
who had followed him in revealed an
other face than that of Selim
Horam spoke the chieftain you
find the Scourge of Damascus not quite
as powerless as you had expected
What ho Selim Selim
Easy old man Selim will not
come at your bidding Let me inform
you that I am master for the present
of this lower region and Selim is my
slave
Mercy gasped the terrified king
What ho Benoni Benoni
Eenoni is in my power said Ju
lian He is bound hand and foot and
cannot help you And thou base
false man thou too art in my pow
er Down in this deep dungeon where
the light of day cannot come and
where the noise of the upper world
cannot penetrate here I have thee
as thou didst hope to have me Ho
ram I am thy master
The kings knees smote together
and the lantern dropped from his
hand
Mercy he cried And then as
though remembering that he was king
of Damascus he clenched his hands
and tried to speak with the voice of
authority
Vile miscreant he said let me
pass If you dare to oppose me you
shall be torn limb from limb
Easy old man I am your master
now and if you give me occasion I
may do you harm
There was that in the look tone and
bearing of the stalwart chieftain which
caused Horam to quail The lantern
had fallen in an upright position and
its light revealed quite plainly the
features of the two men
You will not kill me whispered
the king
No replied Julian I should
scorn the deed and I should despise
myself if I did it I wish simply to do
this I must leave this palace tonight
and you must remain here in my place
Some of your slaves will find you in
the morning You must strip off that
purple robe and that golden chain
and I must have the jeweled crown
from your head Come I have no
time to waste
Ye gods of heaven ejaculated
Horam how can this thing be Who
ever heard of such a thing Who
dares to disrobe the king
I dare to do it replied the rob
ber sternly and quickly at the same
time taking a step forward Remove
the garments instantly or I shall
tear them from you
No no you dare not rob your
king
Peace poor fool Hesitate another
minute and I will smite you to the
floor Off with the robe
The trembling monarch cast one look
into the face of the man before him
and then shrank back against the
wall He was as a mere child and for
the time while unable to do evil he
seemed an object of pity
If I give you these things will you
spare my life
I told you once yes And once
more I beg you to remember that my
time is short You will save yourself
some trouble if you obey me
This was spoken very slowly each
word dropping from the robbers lips
with the weight of a death sentence
and the lowering of the brow the
swelling of the broad bosom and the
nervous working of the hands told too
plainly that the edict must be obeyed
To be continued
HOME MADE HONEY
A Kestaurant Man Captures a Stray
Swarm of Uecs
Ralph Gushee the lessee of the Park
Department restaurant overlooking the
Hudson at the upper end of Riverside
drive tells a remarkable story of how
he obtained the honey which is one of
the specials on his daily menu
Two weeks ago said Mr Gushee to
Corporation Counsel Whalen who was
the host of a party of politicians at
Claremont I noticed a swarm of bees
under the tree down there overhanging
the drive just where the carriages
stand at the dinner hour I offered 10
to anybody who would remove them
and nobody wanted to take the offer
until one of the policemen detailed to
guard Grants tomb heard of it He
said he knew all about bees and I told
him to go ahead He went down in the
basement and got an empty sugar bar
rel Then he demanded a sheet and bor
rowed a pair of buckskin gloves from
a gardener He spread the sheet on the
drive under the tree and set the barrel
from which he had removed a couple
of staves on its side Then he climbed
the tree and gently shooed the bees
down to the sheet whence he gathered
them up into the barrel This was
covered with the same sort of mos
quito netting with which he had en
veloped his own head and taken back
of the hotel There must have been
tree or four quarts of bees and they
settled into their new home as natural
ly as though they had come to River
side Park for that purpose They be
gan to hive at once and for the last
two weeks Ive been getting four or
five pounds of honey right along and
the bees are still at home and at work
Mr Whalen remarked laughingly
that as the bees were evidently taking
sweetness from the blossoms in the
park it would be in order for the city to
increase Mr Gushees rent It is sup
posed that the bees came across the
Hudson River from New Jersey

COMMON SENSE
Every Producing Country Cuts Prices on
Its Surplus Goods When Exported
Referring to the circular issued by
The American Protective Tariff
League urging a general response to
the inquiry of the industrial commis
sion relative to domestic and export
prices of American made goods a well
informed correspondent writes
Your circular No 171 is acknowl
edged I am not a manufacturer but
have purchased and shipped goods to
a Mexican railroad It was then the
universal practice to give a discount
on goods shipped to that country
This practice I believe is common in
all countries and some of the British
railways are I am told by their char
ters forced to give lower freights on
goods for export Sir Bernard Samuel
son M P F R S in his report on
Railway Goods Tariffs December
22 18S5 gives these British rates
among others
COTTON GOODS
Export Domestic
Manchester to London 21 36
Manchester to Liverpool 610 106
GENERAL MACHINERY
Export Domestic
Leeds to Hull 126 25
Leeds to Newcastle 116 142
A like discrimination seems to be
made in Belgium
It seems to me the Industrial Com
mission should extend their inquiry
unless they wish it to be inconclusive
and unrelated to well known facts
governing the foreign trade of all
producing countries Unloading man
ufactured commodities on foreign mar
kets seems to me a patriotic proceed
ing It keeps mills running regularly
Hence the power to purchase in this
country is increased by the consequent
steady employment and the increased
production makes it difficult for for
eigners to pinch our markets as for
Instance in 1SS0 when they caught
as short on steel rails and for two
months held the price at S2 per ton
Yours truly
EDWARD P NORTH
New York July 25
The instance cited by Mr North of
a systematic reduction by British rail
ways of carrying charges on export
goods is very much to the point and
entirely conclusive as showing the
commercial policy of our greatest trade
rival in placing a premium on export
business The same policy Is pursued
today in Great Britain and by all the
leading export nations On the conti
nent A recent consular report to the
state department tells of the marked
disparity between domestic and export
prices in certain lines of iron and
steel production in Germany It is
the regular practice of the Germans to
work off their overproduction by
means of cut prices on goods for ex
port Cut price goods from every
country would now be dumped on the
American market if the free traders
and tariff revisionaries had their way
It is the certainty of this result of
tariff tinkering that prompts the busi
ness interests to vigorously oppose
any and all meddling with the existing
schedules of the Dingley law They
do not want this country flooded with
cut price stuff from all creation to the
infinite detriment of American pro
ducing interests and American labor
They very much prefer and so does
every level headed right thinking man
to keep American labor employed at
high wages and when necessary to
secure outside markets work off their
surplus production on somebody else
That is the common sense of the mat
Cer
What Xot to Do
According to the Winona Minn
Herald of July 10 Congressman Bab
cock objects to being classified as a
Free Trader He is quoted as saying
in a recent letter to a personal friend
in Wisconsin
Some of the papers try to make me
out a Free Trader and claim that I
indorse the Democratic idea that all
trust made goods should go on the free
list This is simply rot and I write
this that you may know just what my
views are
It would have been interesting and
very much to the point if more of the
letter had been quoted to the end that
light be thrown on just what my
views are Enough however is made
known to indicate that Congressman
Babcocks ferocity as a smasher of
Tariffs and trusts has undergone some
amelioration since he introduced his
famous bill last winter He has had
time to think it over and while he
probably doesnt understand the ques
tion any better than he did six months
ago he is at least better informed con
cerning what not to do
Muscadine is a disease to which
silk worms are liable It consists of
a fungus growth in the body which
breaks through the skin and speedily
kills the insect

Wonders of Dylnu Dolphin
We were on a sailing ship seven
passengers of us bound from Rio de
Janeiro Brazil to New York Our
ship was a bark the Adelaide Pender
gast owned in New tfork She had
been long out from her home harbor
fir3t to Cadiz Spain with merchan
dise thence to Rio de Janeiro for
coffee with which she was now laden
Her crew were Norwegians her master
Capt John Lawson as jolly an Irish
man as ever sailed the salty waves
says a writer in Forest and Stream
Hurrah cried the captain one day
Here is something now for you Come
and see a dolphin tho most beautiful
fish that lives in water We made a
rush for the bulwarks and to our de
light saw swimming along with us sev
eral emerald hued fish from three to
five feet long graceful in shape and
motion Their bodies were like satin
of a delicate green shading to a deeper
hue at the fins Darting and whirling
they changed places rapidly moving
from one side of the ship to the other
Ill give you a sight you never saw
before exclaimed the captain You
shall see a dying dolphin He brought
his gig a small harpoon with its cruel
fishhook darts and fastening a line to
its long handle made it secure around
his wrist Cant hook these fellows
with a hook and line he said We
had already been regaled with shark
and barracuda from the line that hung
at the stern The captain leaned over
the rail With lithe motion the fish
darted under the weapon suspended
over them A quick plunge with sure
aim a green flash through the air and
the struggling leaping victim was
landed on the deck And now- we saw
the dying dolphin Let scientists ex
plain how it changes its colors we can
but make record of its appearance The
glowing green died away to silver
This became spotted with blue which
gradually spread until the whole fish
was a sapphire color Waves of gold
flashed over it growing deeper until it
was golden fish only to be trans
formed into a roseate one by spots
which came and extended Thus from
color to color changed the gleaming
sides of the quivering beauty of the
deep until pity was almost forgotten
in admiration and we exclaimed
Never have we seen anything more
beautiful than a dying dolphin We
were practical enough to enjoy the
friend fish of a delicate golden brown
which was a welcome relief to our
salty bill of fare but that is common
place recollection compared in the
minds eye with the memory of the
fish which swanlike yields its charms
in the dying hour
How Jamie Landed His Dig Iiih
A fifty two pound catfish was taken
from a shallow pool formed by the
subsidence of the Platte river a few
days ago says a Fremont Neb corre
spondent of the Nebraska State Jour
nal Jamie McLean a boy of about 15
years was going after some of his
fathers horses in Saunders county and
Happened to hear a splashing of the
water behind him He looked around
and beheld a fish of huge proportions
floundering around in the pool He at
once formed a lasso of the rope he
was carrying and proceeded to fasten
it round the head of the fish While
he was thus engaged the creature
knocked him down once with its tail
but he finally managed to get the rope
in place He then mounted his horse
and fastened the end of the rope to
the saddle and started for the shore
The fish was so strong that progress
was made but slowly and at one time
the horse began to sink in the quick
sand but after considerable pulling
and hauling the catch was safely
landed
Women Pharmacists in the United States
It is a fact not generally known that
there are nearly 400 women pharma
cists in the United States One of the
largest apothecary establishments in
New England employs women almost
exclusively giving them precedence
over men and assigning as the reason
therefor that women can be depended
on or to use the language of the head
of the concern No big heads no
mistakes hence no suits for damages
as the result of careless reading of pre
scriptions Many manufacturing
chemists employ women in different
capacities
