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

"That ho may rldo safely. Ho Is a
bungling fellow, and might tumblo off
If ho wero not secured. Hut don't lot

At this moment tho guard camo
near to the place whoro his mltro3i

ho spoko to hor:
"My dear good lady, they Ho to you

"Merey!"'cricd Ulln, turning pnlo a.

"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

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

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

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

pletely stunned by the fearful blow;
but bb bIip came to reason with her

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.

Friends of the lato William A. New

stricken with what waB variously de

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

as to whether, In tho circumstances.
It would bo prudent to nomlnato tin

"Tho greatest of all follies in thu

little ofltclal business would bo accom

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

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

.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

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.

stu'.'eeds to the presidency, may tako
