CHAPTER XVn Continued
And thus was the work accom
plished and with a result not to be
wondered at The Arabs had been
orave enough over their rich prizes
out they had lacked the sinew and
force of the attacking party In fact
upon foot hand to hand atid front to
front either Julian or his lieutenant
alight have been a match for half of
hem
Those two rascals are not worth
pursuing said our hero as he noticed
hat Hobaddan was looking after the
Seeing Arabs Let them go We
nave gained all we sought
After this Julian turned towards the
emales Ulin saw him coming and
with no thought save that of tendereat
gratitude she moved forward to meet
him
Heaven bless you kind sir she
said as she extended to him her
hand
Sweet lady returned the chieftain
fervently talk not of blessings to
me Let me be the one to call down
blessings I know to whom I owe my
life ana my liberty Hobaddan has
told me all Oh let me bear ever with
me the blessed privilege of remember
ing thee in my prayers to God
Tears gathered in the eyes of the
maiden and her lips trembled and
when she spoke her voice betrayed
the deep emotion that stirred her soul
Indeed fair sir she said with her
hand still resting in his you should
not deny to me the privilege which
you claim for yourself If you can
feel pleasure in cherishing a holy grat
itude I can feel the same When I
remcinber the dreadful fate to which
the Arabs had doomed me I cannot
torget the blessings which are due to
the kind power that delivered me
As you please lady replied Julian
letting go her hand The thought
that thou art blessing me will be a
blessing indeed And here is our fair
Albia he continued turning to the
bondmaiden and a close observer
might have seen that he thus turned
in order to subdue emotions that were
rising to trouble him I do not for
get that some blessing belongs to
you
I have served my mistress said
Albia modestly And then perceiving
that a change of subject would be a
xelief to both parties she added We
oe you so much sir that you will be
Idfced to accept my grateful blessings
with those of my lady And now if I
may dare to interrupt you will you
tell us how you chanced to discover
us
It was very simple lady replied
Julian directing his answer to the
prtneess and though seemingly an
accident still I cannot help thinking
that some kind spirit must have super
intended the work When we left Da
mascus we took a course slightly dif
ferent from this but on the way Ave
met a poor traveler who informed us
that he had been robbed He did not
tell us that the robbers were Arabs
and I fancied that they might be some
of my own people Fearing this I
determined to follow them Their
course was a crooked one and when
I finally reached the grove of date
palms I had made up my mind to
search no more We were asleep in
the grove and Osmir awqke just as
a party of horsemen were leaving the
spring He ran out and discovered
that the strangers were Arabs and
that they had two fsmales with them
The chieftain directed the slaves to
drag the bodies of the dead Arabs to
gether and take from them the gold
and jewels which had been taken from
the princess and then to cover them
up in the sand after which he re
quested Hobaddan to examine his
wound It seemed to be but a slight
puncture just below the collar bone
upon the left side and as it was
bleeding but slightly Julian concluded
not to have it probed A simple com
press staunched the blood and it was
thought that there could be no dan
ger
When the slaves had done their
-work the chieftain approached our
heroine and asked her whither she
wished to go
I will see you safe to your journeys
end he said even though it be to
the gates of Damascus
I go not that way sir she replied
I wish to find the cave of an old her
mit named Ben Hadad
Julian started as he heard this but
he quickly recovered himself
Do you know that old man he
asked
No sir I never saw him but he
was a friend to my mother and I think
he will be a friend to me
Ah do you go out from Damascus
to find a friend
I pray you sir ask me no ques
tions If you know where Ben Hadad
lives and it would not trouble you too
much I freely accept your escort
Noble lady I not only know his
place of abode but my own course lies
directly that way If we start at once
and meet with no further obstacle
-we may reach it by the rising of an
other sun
The sooner we start the better
said Ulin and I can ride a long time
without resting
We will ride as fas and as far as
our horses are willing added Julian
as he truned to prepare for the move
In a few minutes they were mount
ed Ulin and Albia once more taking

COBB JR
the horses that had brought them
from Damascus and when all was
ready the chieftain and his lieutenant
led off leaving Shubal to rldo with
the females while Osmir and Selim
brought up the rear
A few hours past noon they stopped
in a pleasant grove Where pure fresh
water bubbled forth from a basin of
white sand- and here they made a din
ner of bread and fruit while the horses
rested Julian spoke with the princess
and asked her how she bore the fatigue
of the journey but his manner was
free from any shade of familiarity
She in turn asked concerning his
wound and expressed the hope that it
might not prove serious When he
had gone Albia remarked
The more I see of that man the
more do I love and honor him He
is no common man my lady
I shall always remember him with
gratitude returned Ulin gazing down
as she spoke
And I added the bondmaiden
earnestly should like to remain with
him and serve him always
You are generous Albia
Because I am but a poor slave and
can only pay such debts with grateful
service
No no Albia a slave no more
When we left my fathers house you
stepped forth free You are my com
panion not my slave
The girl caught the hand of her mis
tress and bathed it with tears
Free she murmured Aye free
to serve you now and evermore Still
dear lady there is a holy satisfaction
in feeling that the servile badge is
stricken off Your poor slave loved
you truly and you may be assured
that she will love you none the less
now that she is a slave nq more
Shortly after this and while yet Al
bia was drying her eyes Julian called
up the horses and made ready for an
other start
Late in the evening they reached the
bank of the Pharphar and once more
stopped to rest The cave of the her
mit was only a few leagues distant
and could be easily reached by mid
night For himself the chieftain did
not care He wished the princess to
act her own pleasure
The cave of Ben Hadad was in a
deep valley where the river wound
between two long high hilis and
thick woods shut it out from the heat
of the noonday sun and from the gaze
of the stranger A good path led to
it from the plain though a person
needed acquaintance with the way in
order safely to follow- it Julian was
surely used to the path for he thread
ed its various windings without any
hesitation and at length drew up be
fore a bold face of rock beneath an
overhanging shelf on which was the
entrance to Ben Hadads cave It was
too dark now to see all this plainly
but those who had been there before
knew very well where they were A
loud call from Hobaddan soon brought
a lighted torch from the cave borne
by a black slave
What ho Ortok where is your
master demanded the lieutenant
Ho ho it is Hobaddan
Yes you grinning rascal it is I
and it is also Julian and further
more others are with us Where is
Ben Hadad
He is in his bed sir sound asleep
And where is my where is Eza
bel
She is also asleep sir
Then call them at once But hold
lead us into the cave first
The negro came out with his torch
and while Hobaddan stopped a few
moments with the slaves to look after
the horses Julian led Ulin and Albia
into the caye It was a broad high
chamber in the solid rock and the
light of the torch revealed the fact
that there must be other chambers be
yond
In a little while a tall broad-shouldered
old man with hair and beard as
white as the breast of a swan came
forth from a distant passage and al
most at the same time an aged woman
came from another direction Julin
quickly approached them and spoke
a few words in private and then said
aloud
These ladies good father and moth
er seek your aid and protection Ask
them no questions tonight for they
are worn and weary and need repose
On the morrow they will tell you their
story He then approached the prin
cess
The old woman when she saw Al
bias face recognized her at once and
as she gazed upon the beautiful fea
tures of the princess the latter said
tures of Ihe princess she said
Good mother replied Ulin I shall
tell you the whole truth and then you
will know just how much protection
we need
And thereupon she went on and re
lated all that had transpired to the
present She told how she had con
sented to be the wife of the king she
told of the death of her mother and
then she told how in her bereavement
she bgean to dread and fear the man
she had promised to marry
The woman took Ulins hand and
pressed it warmly between her own
Dear child she said with much
emotion for she had been deeply
moved during the recital you could
not have told your story to one who
could have better understood it I not
only sympathize with you but I will
protect you if need be with all tho
power I possess and 1 assure you that
our good Ben Hadad will join me with
all his heart You did right in fleeing
from the wicked king I know him
wel lady and I believe you have not
only saved yourself from an unhappy
fate but you have saved Horam froni
committing more crime Thus much
we understand and now my dear
Ulin if I may venture upon the in
quiry what do you propose to do in
the future
My thoughts in that direction have
been vague and troublesome replied
the princess She spoke frankly foi
Ezabel had won her entire confidence
I have reflected upon the subject and
my mind has found but one resting
place I must remain away fron
Damascus until the king is dead 1
can think nothing more Where 1
abide I care not so long as I am safe
from harm
The princess fell upon the womans
neck and blessed her and after a little
time sne became calm and wiped th
grateful tears from her face Her next
question was of Julian Had he yel
left the cave
No replied Ezabel nor will he
leave it at present He is wounded in
the breast and
Wounded repeated Ulin catching
suddenly at the word and turning
pate Is it dangerous
No not dangerous lady but he
must have rest and nursing It is
more serious than he at first thought
but if he is careful there will be no
danger
Oh cried the maiden in a tone of
relief I am glad it is not dangerous
If he had suffered on my account the
joy of my escape from Horam would
have been sadly darkened
CHAPTER XVIII
Ezabel bowed her head and pressed
her hands upon her brow There was
certainly some deep and sudden emo
tion moving within her for her frame
trembled and incoherent whisperings
fell from her lips
Julian will not suffer she said
when she at length raised her head
Ben Hadad has examined his wound
and it can be easily healed
You have known Julian for some
time pursued Ulin musingly
Yes I have known him from child
hood and my son has been his con
stant companion
Your son
Ah perhaps you did not know that
Hobaddan was my son
I did nt
Well such is the fact Hobaddan
is my only child He was a strong
youth with the stature of manhood
while yet Julian was an infant and
from those early years the two hav6
been always together In the begin
ning Hobaddan was the guide and pro
tector but in later years since Julian
has reached the age and strength oi
maturity my son has been content tc
call him master
Julian is much feared in Damascus
said Ulin
The king fears him returned Eza
bel quickly and he has occasion foi
fear but no poor man fears him
However I will not take it upon my
self to excuse Julians faults He maj
have sinned he may have pursued hu
revenge too far Let those who have
suffered what he has suffered con
demn him if they can
He has suffered much good moth
er
More than I can tell my child
He is of Damascus born
Yes
And perhaps of honored family
The blood which runs in his veins
is as pure and noble as ever supportec
a human life The king himself can
not boast a nobler origin aye con
tinued Ezabel with startling earnest
ness and even now with the whob
story of his life up to this presen
hour stamped upon his brow he is
nobler and better and purer than thi
lords of Damascus He is a man am
his heart is true and I love him foi
the generous devoted love there is it
his soul

Delivered at the McKinley Funeral
in Canton
A SWEET AND TENDER STORY
McKinley Devotion to Ills Invalid Wife
How the Dead Statesman Jtec ame
u Chrlxtlun The World JrIef Over
Our Nation Lohs
The following is the full text of the
sermon of Dr C E Manchester at the
McKinley funeral in Canton Thursday-
Our President s dead The silver cord
Is loosed the solden bowl is broken the
pitcher ia broken at the fountain the
wheel broken at the cistern the mourn
ers go about the streets One voice is
heard a whII of sorrow from all the land
for the beauty of Israel is slain upon the
high places How are the mighty fallen
T am distressed for thee my brother
Very pleasant hast thou been unto me
Our President is dead AVe can hardly
believe it Wp had hoped and prayed
nd it seemed that our hopes were to be
realized and our prayers answered when
the emotion of joy was changed to one
of grave apprehension Still we waited
for we said It may be that God will be
gracious and merciful unto us It
seemed to us that it must be his will to
spare the life of one so well beloved and
so much needed Thus alternating be
tween hope and fear the weary hours
passed on Then came the tidings of a
defeated science of the failure of love
and prayer to hold Its object to the
earth We seemed to hear the faintly
muttered words Good bye all good bye
REV DR C E MANCHESTER
Its Gods way His will be done And
then Nearer my God to thee
Passes On to He at Rest
So nestling nearer to his God lie
passed out into unconsciousness skirted
the dark shores of the sea of death for
a time and then passed on to be at rest
His great heart had ceased to beat Our
hearts are heavy with borrow
A voice is heard on earth of kinfolk
weeping
The loss of one they love
But he has gone wheie tre redeemed are
keeping
A festival above
The mourners throng the ways and from
the steeple
The funeral bells toll slow
But on the golden streets the holy peo
ple
Are passing to and fro
And saying as they meet Rejoice
another
Long waited for is come
The Saviors heart is glad a younger
brother
Has readied the Fathers home
The cause of this universal mourning
is to be found in the man himself The
inspired penmans picture of Jonathan
likening him unto the Beauty of Is
rael could not be more appropriately
employed than in chanting the lament of
our fallen chieftain It does no violence
to human speech nor is it fulsome eulogy
to speak thus of him for who that has
seen his stately healing his grace and
manliness of demeanor his kindliness of
aspect but gives assent to this descrip
tion of him
Loved by All Who Knew Dim
It was characteristic of our beloved
President that men met him only to love
him They might indeed differ with him
but in the presence of such dignity of
character and grace of manner none could
fail to love the man The people con
fided In him believed in him It was said
of Lincoln that probably no man since
the days of Washington was ever so
deeply embedded and enshrined in the
hearts of the people but it is true of
McKinley in a larger sense Industrial
and social conditions are such that he
was even more than his predecessors
the friend of the whole people A touch
ing scene was enacted in this church last
Sunday night The services had closed
The worshipers were gone to their homes
Only a few lingered to discuss the sad
event that brings us together today
Three men of a foreign race and unfa
miliar tongue and clad in working garb
entered the room They approached the
altar kneeling before it and before the
dead mans picture Their lips moved as
if in prayer while tears furrowed their
cheeks They may have been thinking
of their own King Humbert and of his
untimely death Their emotion was elo
quent eloquent beyond speech and It bore
testimony to their appreciation of man
ly friendship and of honest worth
Soul Clean and Hands Unsullied
It Is a glorious thing to be able to say
in this presence with our illustrious dead
before us that he never betrayed the
confidence of his countrymen Not for
personal gain or pre eminence would ho
mar the beauty of his soul He kept It
clean and white Detore iod and man
and his hands were unsullied by bribes
His eyes looked right on and his eye
lids looked straight before him He was
sincere plain and honest just benevo
lent and kind He never disappointed
those who believed In him but meas
ured up to every duty and met every re
sponsibility in life grandly and unflinch
ingly Not only was our President brave
heroic and honest he was as gallant a
knight as ever rode the lists for his lady
love in the days when knighthood was in
flower It is but a few weeks since the
nation looked on with tear dlmmed eyes
Some or the Abuses of Reading
What are the abuses of reading
These 1 Hurried reading without
concentration 2 Reading for mere
entertainment without reflection 3
Reading when we ought to be doing
some other thing-
Governor Loves Fine Horses
Governor Geer of Oregon is a lover
of fine horses He has given a great
deal of time to this fad and is now
said to be the best judge of horses in
the ctate
as it saw with what tender conjugal de
votion he sat at the bedside of his be
loved wife when all reared that a fatal
lllneSK was upon her No public clamor
lhat he might show himself to the popu
lace no demand of a social function was
sulllclent to draw tho lover from the bed
side of his wife He watched and waited
while we all prayed and she lived
Tender Story of Ills Iovo
This sweet and tender story all tho
world knows and tho world knows that
his whole life had run In this one groove
of love It was a strong arm that she
leaned upon and It never failed her Her
smile was more to him than the plaudits
of the multitude and for her greeting hla
acknowledgments of them must wait
After receiving tho fatal wound his first
thought wus that the terrible news might
be broken gently to her May God In this
deep hour of sorrow comfort her May
his grace be greater than her anguish
May the widows God be her God Anoth
er beauty In the character of our Presl
Cmt that was a chaplet of grace about
his nock wax that he was a Christian
In the broadest noblest sense of the word
that was true His confidence In God vas
strong ami unwavering It held him
steady in many a storm where others
were driven before the wind and tossed
He believed in the fatherhood of God and
In his sovereignty His faith in the gos
pel of Christ was deep and abiding Ho
had no patience with any other theme
of pulpit discourse Christ and him ciru
eifltd was to his mind the only panacea
for the worlds disorders He believed It
to be the supreme duty of the Christian
minister to preach the word He said
We do not look for great business men
in the pulpit but for great preachers
Kvor a True Christian
Tt Is well known that his godly mother
had hoped for him that he would become
a minister of the gospel and that she
believed It to be the highest vocation In
life It was not however his mothers
faith that made him a Christian He had
gained In early life a personal knowledge
of Jesus which guidded him in the per
formance of greater duties and vaster
than have been the lot of any other Am
erican President He said at one time
while bearing heavy burdens that he
could not discharge the dally duties of
his life but for the fact that he had
faith In God William McKinley believed
in prayer in the beauty of It In tho
potency of It Its language was not un
familiar to him and his public addresses
not infrequently evince the fact It was
perfectly consistent with his life long
convictions and his personal experiences
that he should say as the first critical
moment after the assassination ap
proached Thy Kingdom come thy will
be done and that he should declare at
the last It Is Gods way his will be
done He lived grandly it was fitting
that he should die grandly And now
lhat the majesty of death has touched
and calmed him we find that In his su
preme moment lie was still a conqueror
Lessons from the Sad Event
Tet us turn now to a brief considera
tion of some of the lessons that we are
to loarn from this sad event The first
one that will occur to us all Is the old
old lesson that In the midst of life we
are In death Man goeth forth to his
work and to his labor until the evening
He fleeth as it were a shadow and never
eontinueth in one stay Our President
went forth In the fullness of his strength
in ills manly beauty and was suddenly
smitten by the hand that brought death
with it None of us can tell what a day
may bring forth Let us therefore re
member that No man hveth to himself
and none of us dieth to himself May
each days close see each days duty done
Another great lesson that we should heed
is the vanity of mere earthly greatness
In the presence of the dread messenger
how small are all the trappings or wealth
and distinction of rank and power I be
seech you seek him who said I am the
resurrection and the life he that bellev
f th In me though ho were dead yet shall
he live and whosoever Hveth and be
lieveth in mo shall never die There is
but one Savior for the sick and the weary
1 entreat you find him as our brother
found him But our last words must b
spoken Little more than four years ago
we bade him good bye as he went to as
sume the great responsibilities to which
the nation had called him His last words
as he left us were Nothing could give
me greater pleasure than this farewell
grec ng this evidence of your friend
ship and sympathy your good will and
I am sure the prayers of all the people
with whom I hwe lived so long and
whoso confidence and esteem are dearer
to me than any other earthly honors To
all of us the future is as a sealed book
but If I can by official act or adminis
tration or utterance in any degree add
to the prosperity and unity of our be
loved country and the advancement and
well being of our splendid citizenship 1
will devote tho best and most unselfish
efforts of my life 10 that end With this
thought uppermost in my mind I reluc
tantly take leave of my friends and neigh
bors cherishing in my heart the sweetest
memories and thoughts of my old home
my home now and I trust my home
hereafter so long as I live We hoped
with him that when his work was done
freed from the burdens of his great of
fice crowned with tho affections of a hap
py people he might be permitted to close
his earthly life in the home he had loved
Sadness of the Ilome Comlng
He has indeed returned to us but
how Borne to the strains of Nearer
My God to Thee and placed where he
first began lifes struggle that the people
might look and weep over so sad a home
coming But It was a triumphal march
How vast the procession The nation rose
and stood with uncovered head The peo
ple of the land are chief mourners The
nations of the earth weep with them
But O what a victory I do not ask you
In the heat of public address but in the
calm moments of mature reflection what
other man ever had such high honors be
stowed upon him and by so many people
What pageant has equaled this that we
look upon tonight We gave him to tho
nation only a little more than four years
ago He went out with the light of the
morning upon his brow but with his task
set and the purpose to complete It We
take him back a mighty conqueror
The church yard where his children rest
The quiet spot that suits him best
There shall his grave be made
And there his bones be laid
And there his countrymen shall come
With memory proud with pity dumb
And strangers far and near
For many and many a year
For many a year and many an age
While history on her simple page
The virtues shall enroll
Of that paternal eoul
The bloom on fruit is said to be na

rubbed off damp accumulates an decay

IT CURED A BAD HABIT
Tho Suinrt Jructlcal Joltor Had tho
Table Turned 011 Him
I never indulge tho practical Joke
habit said a gentleman who recently
visited New Orleans and I have a
good reason for tnklng no sort of stock
In such things There was a time- in
my life when I was fond of playing
pranks and I have turned some- clover
tricks along this line But It has been
several years since I made my last ef
fort It was living in a small town up
in Arkansas and at the time was
boarding with nn aunt who was even
fonder of the practical joke than I
was Along about Christmas time a
young man caino out to tho town in
which I lived to spend some time with
friends Ho was a dudish sort of a
fellow and was just at that period of
life when the gold watch and chain
he wore impressed him as being tho
most important thing in tho world
My aunt was quick to perceive his
weakness She hatched a plot I was
to slip into his bedroom and steal the
watch and chain after he had fallen
asleep The night was fixed and my
friend retired about 10 oclock Ho al
ways hung his vest which contained
his watch and chain and other valu
ables on the bedpost at the head of
the bed My aunt knew exactly where
I could find it and about 1030 I
slipped stealthily into the room found
the vest and began to rifle tho pock
ets My friend raised up quickly as
ho ran his hand under his pillow
Bang bang bans I was shot I
was shot three times with tho revol
ver pressed almost against my breast
I could feel the holes in my back where
the bullets had come out and the blood
was trickling down my spinal column
My aunt came rushing Into the room
My God I said Auntie Im shot
She got the camphor bottle I told
her the bullets had passed clear
through me and had rolled down into
my shoes They could stand it no
longer and to my amazement my
aunt and my friend broke out into
perfect spasms of laughter and by
degrees the real situation dawned up
on me My friend had expected my
visit He had extracted the lead from
three cartridges in the pistol at the
suggestion of my aunt and had turn
ed the tables on me Since that timo
I have played no jckes
ARTISTS SUMMER HOME
On Top of an Oak Tree This Man
XIves
One could scarcely conceive a more
unique plan for enjoying these in
tensely hot days than that adopted by
artist D Orrln Stelnberger whose
home is a few miles north of Spring
field Ohio Perched In a house fifty
feet from the ground in a majestic
oak secluded from the wond except
sng the lowing cows In the field a
nan whose pictures have demanded
the attention of the nation spends most
of his time It is an ideal spot for his
house in the tree The entrance to the
nest is through a long lane of willows
The tree top house is made of boards
with saplings bound across the side for
support and protection There is an
elevated step on the west side where
rtist Steinberger sits and paints and
sketches at will While thick foliage
of the overhanging boughs form a pro
tection from the rain yet the rays of
the sun penetrate even to a certain ex
tent and to keep this out a canvas has
been stretched on the east side There
is room on the floor of the nest for a
dozen people To reach the house a
block and tackle is used for the more
timid who are seated in a swing and
pulled up through a trap door The trip
up affects the nerves of some espe
cially the ladies Artist Steinberger
does not use this means of going to
his nest He mounts a ladder made of
two small saplings and goes up the
tree from limb to limb a rapidly as a
squirrel He built this home in the trea
for the purpose of regaining hi3 health
going back to first principles He
drinks warm milk direct from the cow
and breathes the pure air of the coun
try Since living here his health has
gradually returned and he is now al
most well
Old and Modern in Nor why
Many of the farms about Nystuen
Norway have been cultivated for a
thousand years The buildings on some
of them are 700 and 800 years old Any
thing built within a century or two is
considered modern At Borgund a few
miles west of Nystuen is a church
that was built in 1150 or earlier The
antiquarians cannot determine the ex
