temptation to some other fellow to
knock it off.

“It’s too bad!" said Lena Dawes to
her husband. “Everything looks so
nice except the bare floors."
“Won't they be just the thing for
the dancing features of our house
warming?” questioned Norman Dawes.
“You see, I’ve got a good deal of
pride," added Lena, “and I want to
appear as cozy and comfy as possible,
with so many of my old school chums
coming."
"Now, don’t yon get worrying," con
soled Norman. "If any remarks are
made. Just bluntly Inform the critics
that the high cost of living wouldn’t
permit new furniture and rugs at the
same time."
“Well, we two are happy and con
tented, anyway, so what does it mat
ter if some- ill-natured critic like Mrs.
Parmly Inspects onr belongings with
a magnifying glass, and says mean
things about our being threadbare and
shoddy, and all that? She called me
that once. Norman—but I'm not shod
dy, am I, dear?”
“You? Why. you’re solitl pure gold,
my pet,” cried Norman fervently, and
Lena tried philosophically to subdue
her vain longings. Their little new
home was her idol, and site wanted to
have it as perfect as possible during
the coming house-warming function.
Fate seemed to enforce a reminder
of that coveted parlor rug. It was
about noon when footsteps sounded In
the hall, and ttiere stood n thin, black
eyed man, dark-skinned and wearing a
fez and a gaudy sash. He carried a
thick, folded fabric over his arm, and
suggested the foreigner and traveling
peddler,
“Omar Kluva It Is. lady,” tie said
in melodiously appealing accents.
“They tell you at the Persian consulate
that what Omar says is always true.
Rugs immaculate, lady—only the best.
Perhaps high In price, blit they last
for generations, and for good, honest
people like you, payments as you
please. Your parlor? Wonderful lady,
hut my sample exactly fits.”
“No, no!" demurred Lena, lifting a
detaining hand as her visitor made
a movement as if lo unroll and display
the rug he carried, but with a deft, nta
gicianllke movement, he gave his bur
den a twirling (ling, and it settled down
over the parlor floor without a wrinkle.
“Oh, tlie beauty!" irrepressibly en
thused Lena, and Iter sparkling eyes
rested with delight upon the marvel of
beauty.
The exquisite colors, the unique pat
tern blendings, the perfect harmony of
the costly rug with draperies and wall
decoration seemed suddenly to trans
form the room into a kingly apartment.
Omar Kluva was about to dilate upon
its excellencies when, chancing to
glance out Into the garden, through
the open window, he gave a vivid start
anti his eyes dilated. Lena suspected
some play-acting, hut with an earnest
ness that was positively agitated. Omar
Kluva gasped out :
“Lady, the flower! The sacred sun
rose of Lathay! Here, so far from
home, in an alien soil! Oh. lady, can
I see nearer? fan I purchase one of
the blooms at any price? It Is not for
myself, though I am overjoyed, hut
for my sick brother who, wearied and 111
In an unfriendly land, Is pining for
something of his native country."
The quivering finger Indicated a
high-flowering stalk, a rarity, indeed,
which had grown from some seeds giv
en to Norman by a foreign traveling
salesman, who had fold him that It
was an Asiatic novelty. The blossoms
were large as a sunflower and. grow
ing in towcrlike profusion, resembled
a cluster of rich red roses.
The Impetuous visitor hurried from
the room Into the garden. Somewhat
puzzled, Lena followed him. He
reached the plant and regarded it with
eyes of ecstasy.
“Oh. lady!" he said, tremulously
fondling one of the blooms, "It will
bring home to poor Azlf, and its seeds
will cure his distemper."
"I will get scissors, and you shall
have all the flowers you like.” said
free-hearted Lena. But when she re
turned, Omar Kluva and one of the
blooms had vanished. Norman catne
home, to hoar the strange story. He
was lost in admiration of the rug
Then on a card attached to Its under
side he traced the words. "Omar Kluva
and Brother. 22 River Street.”
“We must hunt up this strange vis
itor of ours, Lena," he said, and after
supper they sought the living place of
Omar Kluva. He occupied two rooms
In a large tenement building, and he
salaamed to the ground as Lena ai*
peared.
“See," he said, pointing to a couch
on which a man. Ills prototype, lay,
holding In his hand the sun rose
bloom. “He sleeps peacefully and
with a smile on his face. A sight of
the flower alone made him better.”
“You forgot to take away your
rug—•* began Lena, when Omar Kluvit
made a gesture of extravagant dts
sent.
“Ah. Indy! Like in a fairy story,
fate sent you the gift. It Is yours,
with the love and gratitude of Omar
Kluva and hl« brother."

and cried when he made his confes
sion to the detectives. He admitted he
