CHAPTER XVn Continued
Ulin bowed her head upon her
hands and could the instinctive
promptlngB of Tier heart at that mo
ment have been read they would have
revealed a secret not much to be won
dered at
I think said Ezabel after a pause
that you have had some opportunity
to study Julians character
I have seen enough to assure me
that be Is a noble generous man
returned Ulin raising her head
And added Ezabel If you could
know him better you would And your
impressions strengthened But he will
not be here long As soon as he re
covers from his wound he will leave
us
If I am not mistaken ventured
our heroine Julian is at home in this
place
Most certainly he Is my1 daughter
From his earliest childhood he knew
no other home but this
And he was on his way hither
when he overtook me in the hands of
the Arabs
Yes
And will my presence cause him to
leave you
I think not lady But you will
give yourself no uneasiness on that ac
count If Julian feels that ho had bet
ter be away from you he will go for
his own sake And remember the
truly noble soul finds joy in the gen
erous sacrifices which it may be called
upon to make I hear Ben Hadads
voice He is calling me
She arose and left the chamber and
when she returned sne was followed by
Ben Hadad Now that Ulin saw the
hermit by tho light of the day she was
awe struck by his venerable appear
ance All that could be noble and
honorable and lovable in old age
seemed combined in him and as he
bent his gaze upon her and extended
his hand in welcome she felt her heart
go to him with all its trust and confi
dence
My child he said in tones of ten
derest solicitude Ezabel has told me
your story and I have come to bid
you an affectionate welcome to my
cave Rest here and feel that you are
at home Your mother paid me for
this long ago Come follow me to
where the air is fresher and where
the sunbeams can greet you
The maiden thanked Ben Hadad as
well as she was able and then rose to
follow him He led her to the main
cave where she found Hobaddan and
the slaves
This is my home said the old
man as he led the maiden to a seat
and here have I lived more years than
go to fill up the allotted age of man
All these trees and shrubs I have
trained up from the tender sprout and
these vines I have taught to clothe
the gray old recks And I have been
most fortunate in my life I have been
able to protect many who needed pro
tection and my days have been length
ened out to protect more
Ulin was touched by the deep pathos
of the hermits Words and for a whole
hour she sat and listened to his conver
sation At the end of that time he led
her back to the cave where Ortok the
black slave had prepared dinner She
did not feel hungry but she sat down
with Ben Hadad and Hobadden and
Ezabel she and Albia and partook
with them
Thus passed three days and Ulin
had become so used to the place that
it already seemed like home She had
learned to love the hermit and she
had learned to love Ezabel and she
had learned to respect and esteem the
stout hearted Hobaddan and to con
verse with him freely Once she asked
the lieutenant what had become of
Julians band Would they not be
seeking him
And he explained to her that he had
communicated with them that they
knew of their chieftains safety and
had gone away into the mountains of
Lebanon where comfortable abiding
places for them were plenty
When Ulin retired to her own apart
ment she sat by herself with her head
bowed upon her hands taking no no
tice of her serving maid At an early
hour she retired but it was a long
time ere she slept and when she did
sleep she was troubled with strange
dreams She dreamed of the unfortu
nate Helena and awoke with a cry
Df pain And then she dreamed a more
pleasant dream a dream of something
that had haunted her waking thoughts
a dream of the Scourge and Damas
cus
CHAPTER XVIII
Something More Than a Dream
On the following morning -when
Ulin entered the main cave Julian
was there to greet her She extended
tier hand to him and smiled as she
spoke The youthful chieftain was
somewhat pale but his large lustrous
eyes burned with a deened intensity
and the white brow offered a strange
rontract to the waving mases of golden
aair The maidens smile faded away
when she met the earnest gaze that
was fixed upon her and her hand
trebled before she withdrew it He
spoke to her a few words of cheer ex
pressed his gratitude that she had
found a place of safety and hoped
that the future might have no more
clouds for her
0 my mistress cried Albia when
she and Ulin were alone how noble
a man he is
Who asked the princess Starting
out from a deep reverie

Julian I mean returned the maid
quickly and with enthusiasm Does
he not look handsomer than ever
Ulin bowed her head and made no
reply
Is he not beautiful to gaze upon
pursued Albia without seeming to no
tice her ladys abstracted mood
Hush Albia say no more now I
am busy with my own thoughts
Pardon sweet mistress I meant
no wrong I thought we owed him
so much and he has suffered in our
behalf that you might
Albia say no more I know you
meant well You mistake me if you
think I am not grateful There say
no more I love you and would not
hurt your feelings Go out into the
grove and walk awhile
Ulin bowed her head again as she
spoke with her hand upon her brow
upon her brow for a moment and
then pressed upon her bosom And
thus Albia left her
When the freed girl reached the
grove in front of the cave she found
Julian and Osmir in close conversa
tion and before they noticed her she
had heard enough to excite her cu
riosity and with a freedom that was
natural to her she asked them what
had happened
Osmir thinks said Julian with a
smile that one of the Arab robbers
has followed us and tracked us to
this place but I laugh at him
I may be mistaken rejoined the
other but still I think I am right
I have seen the fellow twice once by
the river at the entrance of the wood
and once further away It was one of
the rascals wno escaped us
And if it is the Arab what can he
want asked Albia
If it be one of those fellows re
turned Julian he may wish to join
our ranks
Oh added Osmir he may hope to
steal something
Very likely assented the chieftain
However he concluded after a brief
pause we may as well keep a sharp
lookout
Selim and I are on the watch said
Osmir and if we catch the rascal
well secure him
Albia fancied that Julian had
thoughts which he was not willing to
express in her presence but she did
not mean to fret herself and before
she rejoined her mistress she had al
most forgotten the circumstances
At noon and again in the evening
did Ulin meet Julian but they did
not converse freely together She
could not meet the gaze of those lus
trous eyes without trembling and she
sought to avoid that which so much
moved her If he had approached her
and spoken freely with her on some
subject of general interest she would
have joined him readily but he did
not do so
Morning came again and again the
maiden met the man who had saved
her from the Arabs This time he
greeted her in few words and soon
turned away to speak with Hobaddan
He did not seem well He looked
paler than on the day before and
there was an expression of pain about
the mouth and eyes Ulin was uneasy
Perhaps his wound was giving him
new trouble As soon as the morn
ings meal had been eaten she sought
Ezabel and asked her if Julian was
suffering from his wound
No replied the old woman I
do not think it is his wound I have
noticed his appearance and have asked
him what it meant but he puts me
off with a smile and a blessing and
tries to assure me that all is well I
do not like to see him suffer He is
like a child to me and I love him ten
derly Ah the world little knows
what a noble generous soul dwells
within that manly form
If I thought he was suffering from
my account said Ulin I should be
most unhappy
How on your account said Eza
bel quickly
I mean in consequence of the wound
he received while fighting for my de
liverance
I hardly think it is that Some
thing beside the wound troubles him
It may be that the short captivity in
Damascus worries him He may have
heard something there that gives him
unpleasant thought
At noon Julian did not appear when
the rest ate their dinner He was out
by the river Late in the afternoon
Ulin ir t Ezabel again and the latter
seeme i and dejected
JulL going co leave us ex-
claimed tnj woman in answer to an
inquiry from Ulin
Leave us repeated our heroine
with a start
Yes so he told me only an hour
since
- When will he go
Early in the morning
But he will shortly return
I fear not I asked him that and
he only shook his head
Does he give any reason for his
going away
None that you need to know my
child In fact he gives me no reason
directly I am left to draw my conclu
sions from accidental remarks
When Ulin retired to her chamber
she was in a frame of mind not eas
ily analyzed She spoke to Albia con
cerning the chieftains unexpected de
parture and the girl expressed the
opinion that he felt himself to be in
the way
What do you mean by that asked
Ulin
Well replied Albia I think
Ian feels that there are enough dwell
ers in the hermits cave without him
I may be mistaken but his manner
for a day or two past has seemed to
indicate that he was not perfectly at
ease here
The princess asked no more ques
tions but busied herself with her own
thoughts
As the sun was sinking from its
dally course Ulin wandered out into
the grove alone and as she approached
the spot where she sometimes sat with
the hermit she saw Julian seated
upon a bench beneath an orange tree
At first she thought of turning back
and retracing her steps but an im
pulse which was no result of her will
but rather an instinctive emotion as
though some secret force led her on
and almost before she was aware of it
she came so near that the youth
heard her stop and looked up He
started when he saw her and a flash
of joy like a quick passage of sun
light was upon his face In a moment
however the look was gone and a
shade of sadness succeeded The
maiden could not now have withdrawn
even had she been so disposed in the
first place Following the strong im
pulse she aavanced to the shadow
of the orange tree and placed her hand
upon Julians shoulder and it thrilled
the youth like an electric shock
Kind sir she said scarcely able
to speak above a whisper when she
commenced Ezabel tells me you are
going away
Yes lady Julian replied rising
as he spoke I have so determined
And you go soon
In the morning
This is sudden sir
No lady no more so than my
movements are apt to be
CHAPTER XIX
Ulin and Julian
Ulin hesitated and trembled and
finally sat down upon the bench from
which the chieftain had arisen In a
few moments she had recovered her
self so that she could speak without
faltering
Good sir I have one question to ask
you She went on hurriedly as
though the old impulse still led her
You had not planned to leave the
cave so soon
I had planned nothing about it
lady
But if I had not been here with
my servant you would have remained
longer
Lady do not ask me such ques
tions
I must ask them sir for I want
to know If I thought that my pres
ence here had caused you to leave
your old home I should be most un
happy When I came here I did not
know how near and dear this place
was to you If one of us must go
let me find some other resting place
Julian started and trembled like an
aspen A moment it was so and then
he turned upon the maiden a look so
earnest and so deep and so -full of
tumultuous feeling that she shook be
neath it
Lady he said speaking almost in
a whisper you shall know the se
cret which I had purposed never to
reveal to mortal being The words
are forced from me Let me speak
them now and then let them be for
gotten When I heard that the king
of Damascus had shut up a fair maid
en within the Palace of Lycanius and
that he meant to make that maiden
his wife I felt my heart grow sick
within me and I resolved if the fair
one was held against her will that I
would set her free I led my brave
men to the palace and overcame the
guard which the king had set Heaven
was opened but in the blessed realm
I was offered no abiding place I saw
the loved spirit of light within the
cave which had been the home of my
childhood but my love I dared not
speak How could I the enemy of
Damascus and the branded robber
tell my love to the daughter of the
kings prime minister Lady I dare
not trouble you more

THE INDISPENSABLE MAN
Prudent Business 3Ien Now Get Rid of
That Pomposity
Some of the most successful busi
ness men in this country make it a
rule to dispense with the services of
any man in their employ no matter
how important his position may be
as soon as he comes to regard himself
as indispensable says Success This
may seem harsh and even unbusiness
like but if we look into it we shall
find that there is wisdom in this prac
tice Experience proves that the mo
ment a man looks upon himself as ab
solutely necessary he usually ceases
to exercise to the fullest extent the
faculties which have helped him to
rise to that indispensable point He
becomes arrogant and dictatorial and
his influence in an organization is
bound to be more or less demoraliz
ing Many concerns have been seri
ously embarrassed by the conduct of
managers superintendents or heads
of departments after they had reached
positions where they thought no one
else could take their places This
undue appreciation of ones own im
portance is as disastrous in its re
sults as utter lack of self esteem It
is really evidence of a narrow mind
and ignorance of general conditions
for the man who is up to the times
thoroughly posted in regard to the
world wide trend of the twentieth
century will realize that there are few
people in the world no matter what
their talents or ability who cannot
be replaced It is a very rare charac
ter indeed that is imperatively nec
essary and the man who actually
reaches this point does not brag of it
nor act as if he considered himself
indispensable

Mr Penny turning to tho prisoner

The court clerk then asked tho ques

afternoon The assassin took advan

he confined himself to taking upon his
own shoulders the blame for the great
crime of having murdered the presi
dent of the United States He advanced
no reason in justification of his mon
strous deed Not a word did he utter
of anarchy of his enmity to govern
ment or of the motives which prompt
ed him to the commission of his crime
Hull Cleared By Police
Greater crowds gathered for the sen
tencing of the assassin than came for
any one session of the trial itself Be

Whites court room By 1 p m the
corridor was jammed Capt Regan
then appeared on the stairs with a
squad of 100 uniformed officers and
cleared the hall It was a case of first
come first served after a line was
formed and the tickets of admission
issued for the trial were worthless It
took less than ten minutes for the
single file to fill the court room and
then the doors were closed to be
opened only upon the arrival of offi
cials counsel and others connected
with the days proceedings
Dramntic Scene in Court
In a hush that was like the silence
of death Justice White pronounced the
prisoners doom Physically tottering
under the ordeal but sustaining him
self by sheer force of nerve the mur
derer heard the words of death pro
nounced was shackled and quietly sub
mitted to be led away
In no brazen fashion did the pris
oner face the court Swaying from side
to side boyish looking trembling with
nervousness but held up by nerve he
stood leaning on the chair in front of
him
Falters In His Words
Falteringly hesitatingly he spoke
after having been asked each question
several times He acted almost as if
the words were being wrung out of
him it took him so long to find utter
ance and he spoke so rapidly when the
first word left his lips Jn response to
a question
His voice was hardly heard ten feet
away although every ear in the great
court room was strained to catch the
slightest sound from his lips
His face paled at no time during the
proceedings It was flushed with the
emotion it was costing him so much
strength to master As the prelimin
ary to the pronouncing of sentence
many questions were asked by the dis
trict attorney Czolgosz evinced the
utmost willingness to answer all these
questions but his utterance seemed to
smother in his throat

It was only after an effort that each
reply was blurted out As he stood his

lost in the shuffling of feet The final
scene of the historic trial was con

POWERS OF HERD1TY
Some Remarkable Stories Told of Its
Mysterious Influences
Doctorsdlsagree as to the influence of
heredity Some hold that a great deal
hinges upon it others believe the con
trary Some of the authentic stories
told to exemplify this mysterious bond
between ancestors and descendants are
very curious There was a loan col
lection of old portraits exhibited in
London lately and a young girl was
among the visitors She was an or
phan and wealthy but without near
relatives and was often heard to com
plain of the loneliness of her position
As she passed through the gallery one
particular portrait attracted her atten
tion and she went back to it more than
once Her companion saw in it noth
ing but the commonplace painting of a
middle aged man in the costume of tho
latter part of the last century It is
such a nice kind face said the girl
rather wistfully I imagine my father
might have looked like that had he
lived As most of the pictures were
ticketed the visitors had purchased no
catalogue but before going away MiS3
B bought one at the entrance and
made a last visit to the portrait for
which she had felt so strong an attrac
tion To her astonishment she found
her own name opposite to its number
and learned on inquiry that the orig
inal was one of her direct ancestors
Another occult coincidence or psycho
logical phenomenon happened a few
years ago to a southern statesman and
financier whose family has always been
of rank in his native state This gen
