Your horses aro ready. 1 will have them brought thlB way." Tho guard had already boon placed upon a horse, and' Ulln saw them binding him to n Raddle. What did thlR' mean? Hardly knowing what sho did. Ulln suffered herself to bo lilted Into tho aatldlo: and In a few moments moro Alhla was by her side. "Why have you hound Shubal to his cent?" she asked. "That ho may rldo safely. Ho Is a bungling fellow, and might tumblo off If ho wero not secured. Hut don't lot that worry you." CHAPTER XVI. Tho Strfinco Horseman. At this moment tho guard camo near to the place whoro his mltro3i cat. his horRo having moved of his own accord, and as sho turned towards him ho spoko to hor: "My dear good lady, they Ho to you when they tell you that they mean you no harm.

"Merey!"'cricd Ulln, turning pnlo a. death and clasping her hands in agony. "0, my drenm! my dream!" "Easy, fair lady," said Al Abbm "This black rascal knows not what he says. 1" allowed him to spoak ho that I might see how his mind ran." "It Is false." exclaimed Shuhal. "I heard them lay tho plan. You, my mistress, aro to bo sold for a" Tho guard's speech was stopped by two of-tho. robbers, who threw him back upon hlH horse, nnd stopp3tl hla mouth with their hands. "Sir robber," cried Ulln, stretching her hands out towards him. "deceive mo no more. I think my poor slave has told mo tho truth." "A peat upon tho slave, lady! His tonguo shall como out by tho root if ho Bpcaks again without my leave. Stick to your saddle, and keep up your courage." As the Arab spoko ho lenpod upon the bnck of his horso, nnd ere tho prin cess could auk another question, tho party was upon tho uiori tho order of arrangements being tho same ui be fore. "Wo aro not going toward. tho Plmrphur," said Ulln. "No," replied Alhla. "Wo aro go ing thu other way." "Then Shubal told us the truth." "Alas, dear mlstiocs. 1 daro not say." "Hut you think so?" "I cannot deny tt." "And you thought so before you heard Shubal speak?"- "I feared something of tho kind." Al Abbas overheard tho gills as they thus conversed, and he was presently by their side. "Lady Ulln." he stlil. and ho spoka sternly and sharply; "you aro now on tho move, and when you stop again It will bo far away from Damascus. I owo something to tho ofllcers of that city, and 1 wIU, repay a part of tho debt by taking you uway from thorn. You aro to go Just ns fur us I please to take you; and tho moro qulo'.ly yon go the better It will bo for you; so you had better begin to accommo date yourself to tho circumstances." Ho mlo back to his plaro and Ulln grattped tho bow of hor saddle for sup port. "Courage," uald Alhla, riding ns near as sho could. "There may ha some way to escape. Tho good spirits will not desert us." Tho prlr.seis heard tho words, and thoy had a mnrked effect upon hor. Sho had nnturally u strong resolution, nnd when sho was once resolved to bear up, her strength was not Jong In Lomlng to her assistance. On the present occasion sho knew that sho had heard tho won-t. In fact, sho had reason to bcllovo that her captor meant for her the most dreadful fate to which one In hor station could lu subject. For n whllo she was com pletely stunned by the fearful blow; but bb bIip came to reason with her self, bIio saw that her only hopo was In escnpe. The Arabs wero low, bru tal nnd sordid, and would soil her for gold. She could read in their evil faces that they worn cot to bu touched by sympathy. Wliat then could sho do? Sim must gut nway from them. And if this was to bo done she must summon all her ener gies to tho work. Hut, alas! tho case looked hopeloss enough; what could two weak girls do ngalnst such odds? Only some in terposition beyond their own efforts could save them. So, after nil, If help was to come, It must como from somo unknown source. And could such help be found? If fervent prayers could A Story of the East... By SYLVANUS CODD. JR. Robert Bonner' Son. no answered, and If the rtltost holy need could ho met, It might bo hoped for. At tlio end of EOtno two or throo hours tho party came to a thick grovo of palms; near which was n spring, and hero they stopped Just long enough to water tho horses, They had stnrtcd on again, nnd wore nt somo little distance from tho grove, when one of tho Aiabs who rodo In thu rear, enme forward and Informed his leader that a horseman was following them. Al Abbas looked back nnd ikiw that tho stranger was a black, nnd that ho rodo a owlft and jowerful horse. "Ho wishes to ovcrtnko ns," said tho fellow who had como from tho rear. "Then ho must ride for It," returned tho chief. "I cannot stop. I wonder whoro ho eamo from." "When I first saw him, he seemed to havo just emerged from tho grovo." In a short tlmo tho strange horpo man had como bo near that tho light of his oyes could bo seen, and Al Ab bas taw that ho must soon overtake them; so ho concluded to drop behind and llnd put whnt was wanted, evi dently desiring that the men should not seo what manner of prizes ho had In charge, at lea3t until his character was known. Tho robborB wero directed to Blacken tholr Bpocd u little, but to keep.on their course,. nnd having given this order, tho chief turned his horso's head and rode back; and cro long ho was within speaking dlstnnce of tho stranger, who proved to bo n stout, well-mado mau, with a tace as black as night. "Hallo!" cried Al Abbas, reining lu his horse. "Who aro you?" "1 nm king of this plain," replied tho African, at tho same tlmo reining Iu his own horso; "and I havo ccnie out to seo who tluiB trespasses upon my domain. Whrt aro you " Tho Arab hesitated In his answer, as he supposed the black must bo crazy. "Who aro you, and whnt sort of company do you lead?" cried tho Af rican. "1 lead my own company; and If you want anything, como and get It," answered the Arab. "I want nothing but to know who you am;. and tho next tlmo you come this wuy, bo sure nnd stop ngaln at tho grovo of tno date-palms. I will havu a banquet prepared for you." Thus speaking, tho stranger wheeled his horse In n broad circle, and started back towards tho place whence ho hnd come. Al Abbas rodo back to his party, nud whet; they asked him what man ner of man ho had met, ho replied that It was only a poor crazy fool, who imagined that ho owned -thc broad plain upon which they we're traveling. "He Is worth capturing," suggested ono of tho robbers. "Wo could not capture him If we would," said the chief. "Ho rides n better horso than wo own." ' Whllo tho Arabs wero gazing back after tho retiring horsomnn Albln drew closo to tho side of hor mistress and spoke, ijulckly nnd excitedly: "Did you recognize him?" "Whom?" "Tho crasy man who followed us." "No." "It was Osmlr!" "Osmlr!" "Hush! Not a word. As suro ub 1 llvo It was Osmlr; and bo assured wo havo help nt hand." "Hut ho has gone." "Aye, for he only camo out to see who wo were, lie sure he has recog nized us." Ulln felt her heart bound up with bprlnglug hopo; nnd her next prayer was uttered with returning faith In heaven's protecting power. CHAPTER XVIL lly tho Banks of tho Phnrphnr. Half nn hour after Al Abbas had resumed his placo at tho head of his ttoop, tho sumo robber who had be fore como from tho icur, ngr.In rodo to tho front, this tlmo bringing Intelli gence Hint u number of horsemen wore pursuing them. Tho chief drew his horso nsldo nnd looked back, tind saw. four men coming. Thoy wero well mounted, nnd seemed to he In hot pur fiilt. "There Js something more thnn ac cident In this." said Al-Abbas. "Tho tellow Is with them who followed ua before." "Two of thoi.0 men tiro white," re marked tho robber who had ridden up from tho rear. "What can they want of us?" "Never mind," returned the chief. "If they want ua, let them catch us. And If, boyond that, they want more, let them make their wants known." Thus bpeaklng, tho Arnb leader re sumed his placo, und urged his horses lorwaru with Increasing speed. Ever nnd anon ho cast his eyes behind htm, and It was ero long evident that tho strangers were rapidly gaining upon him. "Wo may ns well stop now as at any tlmo," said Al Abbas, addressing the man who rodo by his side. "1 will halt and ascertain what these fellows want. It is nbout time our horses had n breathing spell." At a simple order from their chief, tho Arabs wheeled their horses In a clrclo, bringing up In line, facing their pursuers, with their prisoners In tho rear. "Who are you that thus pursnsa and ftopB mo?" demandod Al Abbns. "I am Julian, tho Scourgo of Da mascus!" replied tho foremost of tho opposite party. At tho sound of that name tho Arab trembled, for ho know thnt no klng'a ofllcnr had been moro persistent in diivtng petty robbers from the plnlns of Damticufl than had Julian. Hut presently he recovered himself, Hcem Ing to think that, wero tho man's as sertion ti no, tho opposing forco wum not strong enough to bo feared. "If you bo Julian," ho cried, "you havo como forth with u small retinue. Hut what seek you?" "I have come to tako from you those prisoners that you hold. Deliver them up to me, and 1 will trouble you no more." "And suppose thnt I should refuse to do any such thing?" "Then I should bo forced to tako thuni from you. As I address you, I lccognlzo who you nrc. If I am not grcntly mistaken, you aro Al Abbas, tho Arab a villain who liven by rob bing women nnd old men." "Now, by tho blood of Cush!" ex claimed Al Abbas, drawing hl3 Hivord and urging his horso forward, "I'll mako you fool another thing tho Arnb robber can do! What, ho, my men! Down with theso rnscala!" In a moment tha Arubs were ready for action, nnd hurried forward to strlko with their leader. Ab soon ns Shubal found tils guard gone, he called to Alhla to como nnd cot him free. "Cut theso cords." ho cried, "nnd I may bo of somo help In this aralr. Merciful hcavon, Is not UiIb tho work of n good spirit!" The bondmnlden waa not long In setting him free froin his saddle, and as soon ns ho was clear he sprang for ward to whero tho ring of clashing cteol had nlready broko upon the air. With something llko a smilo of dis dain upon his handsome features did Julian behold tho npproach of the Arabs, while Hobaddan. who sat close by his side, looked grim nnd stern. Osmlr nnd Sollm drew to tho front as tho token of battlo was given, nnd their cool, determined bearing, plainly showed that they wero foome:i not to bo despised. Al Abbas rodo directly for the youthful chieftain, with his sword ready for tho stroke; but he had mlatakenhls man, If ho thought to touch any vulnerable point. Julian knocked hla weapon up, and quickly drove him from his horso; and then, seeking to mako quick work of It. and feeling no great sympathy for woman stealers, ho simply rode tho Arab leader down, cleaving open bis head as ho foil. Shubal' was closo at liand when Al Abbas diopped, nnd quickly us pos sible ho possessed himself of the fallen man's sword, nnd wnB just In season to Join In tho conflict as three of tho Arabs had uttacked Julian. Tho young chieftain struck down one of them by a winding blow across the bare neck, but ho might havo had severe work with tho other two had not help arrived; for tho rascals were strong, and tho death of tholr .leader had given them now impulso to con quer. It was not the Impulse of re venge. No, no. Tho death of Al Ab bas left moro gold for those who sur vived. Hut tho unexpected arrival of tho freed slave upon the sceno gave a now turn to tho tide. Ono or tho Arubs ho struck down from bohlnd, and the othor ono nlono proved no match for tho stalwart chieftain. In tho meantime Hobaddan, with Osmlr and Selim, bad disposed of the others. Two they had slain, nnd two had taken to flight. (To bo continued.) BROKE BLAINE'S BOOM. Ex-floternnr Newell' Medical OpInluD Turnoil Jurey Delrratea. Friends of the lato William A. New ell, once Governor of New Jersey, havf recalled nn old story In which he fig ures as the rock upon which tho Pres idential hopes of James O. Blaine woro wrecked In i87C. Tho ex-Governor, who was a physician as well as a politician, was a delegate to tho Re publican national convention in that year, and ho was prominent among those members of tho Now Jersey dele gation who favored Mr. Blalno's nom ination. Whllo tho strugglo for the various aspirants was in progress, the news camo that Mr. Blalno had been stricken with what waB variously de scribed ns apoplexy and sunstroke. TIiIb' event was eagorly seized upon by tho two or three Jersey delegate! who favored Mr. Conkllng", and these, hearing that Dr. Nowell had expressed n fear that tho effects of such o "stroke" as Mr. Blaine had sufferod might Fcrlously and permanently affect his mental faculties, saw an oppor tunity, as thoy thought, to help theli candidate. They secured a conferenct of the delegation, and, when It had mot, they called upon tho ox-Governoi to glvo his opinion, ns a medical man, as to whether, In tho circumstances. It would bo prudent to nomlnato tin Maine statesman. Tho answer, given with extromo roluctanco and regret, nnd of course entirely slncoro, was In tho negative. Mr. 'Blalno's hold upon tho New Jersey delegates was imme diately broken, hut their votes ulti mately went, not to Mr. Conkllng, bul to Mr. Hnyes.

Tho.complntut against Most is based on and iiuotes In full an editorial which Most printed iu tho lYiohclt on Sep tember 7. The editorial reads in part: "Tho greatest of all follies in thu world is tho belief that there can bo n crime of any sort against despots and their accomplices. Such a belief Is in Itself ti crime. Despots are out laws; they are, in human shape, what tho tiger is among beasts. To spans them Is a crime.

Most protested thnt be had commit ted no crime, and Unit till that bad appeared iu his newspaper wero simply opinions lu a new guise that hnd been printed and reprinted and voiced thou sands of times in the last llfty years.

Within three hours from tbo time ot convening the Schley court of inquiry nt Washington It was announced that Kear Admiral Howl.son was dis qualified from serving its a miimlur of the court, and was excused from fur ther duty. This brought tho proceed Ings to an abrupt termination, and caused a temporary adjournment of tho court in order to permit tho navy de partment tp designate an olllccr to succeed Admiral IJowlson. No further session Is probable until tho first of next week. It had been expected that little ofltclal business would bo accom plished on tho opening day, and tho prompt decision as to Admiral Howhon came somewhat ns a surprise. Prior to the court's convening a good-sized crowd assembled at tho Washington navy yard, whero tho jourt meats, to witness tho coming of the promlnunt naval ollluer.s ,vho wet c to take part in tho proceedings.

Krjit Alho for Hour I'.j Artificial Mm in filially KvprcHril ii Dcnlre tit ) bo All. n rd t Die. President McK'inley died at 2:1;. Saturday morning. He had been unconscious since 7:1." 1'rlday evening. His last conscious hour on earth was spent with his wife, to whom he de voted a lifetime of care. He tiled unat tended by a minister of the gospel, but his last words wore ti humble submis sion to the will of the (Sod In whom he believed. He was leconciled to the cruel fate to which an assassluJsliuIlet had condemned him. and faced death in the same spirit and enlmnesH ami poise which has marked his hjng and honorable career. Ills last conscious words, reduced to writing by Dr. Mann, who stood nt his bedside when they wero uttered, wero as follows: "Hood bye, till; good bye: it is (Jod's way. His will bo done" Then his mind beg.ni to wander and soon he completely lost consciousness. His life was prolonged for hours by the administration of oxygen, and the president finally expressed a desire to be allowed to die. About 8:3.i the. ad ministration of oxygen censed and the pulso grew fainter and fainter. He was sinking 'gradually, liko a child. Into the eternal bin tuber, lly 10 o'clock tho pulse could no longer bo felt in lib extremities antl they grew cold. Down stairs, with strained and tear htalnod faces, members of the cabinet were grouped In anxious waiting. They knew the end was near and that the time had come when they inu.sb,.sce him fos. tho last time on earth. This was about 0 o'clock. One by ono they '4 ascended the. stair w.i Secretary Hoot Secretary Hitchcock nnd Attorney General Knox. Secretary Wilson al.M. was there, but ho held back, not wish ing to seo the president in his last ag ony. There was only a momentary .stay of the cabinet ofllcers at the thres hold of tho death chamber. Then they withdrew, tho U'ttrs streaming down their faces and tho words of Intense grief choking in their throats. The immediate cause of tho presi dent's death is undetermined. Ills phy sicians disagree, and it will possibly require nn autopsy to fix the evaet cause. Tho president's remains will bo taken to Washington, and there will be a state fttncrnl. Vlco President Roosevelt, who nou stu'.'eeds to the presidency, may tako tho oath of ollice. wherever ho happens to hear the nes. The cabinet will, of course resign in ti body, ami President Hoasevelt will have an opportunity of forming a new cabinet if he -j desires.

At tho same tlmo tho police recog nized the. possibility of trouble when authentic news should bo received or the president s death, and announced themselves ready nnd able to protect their prisoner if any attack should be made against them. Dr. Saylln, who has bean nrrostcd, admits the nnnrchlsts held n meotiug In Itutrnlo September 2, but .says no plot was laid. The police doubt this.
