THE CALIPH OFBAGDAD. , _
He UoU Up In Hud Humor anil Make *
Trouble for IIls ( irnntt Vizier.
It is chronicled in the last chapter of
Sittings that tlio taloutcd and ofllcient
caliph of Bagdad awoke ono morning1 in
a humor almost as had as that of n man
who is trying to write with a stylo-
graphic pen. Ho telephoned irnmodi-
atlcy for Abdullah , his grand vizier , who
came running with his tongue hanging
out.
" "Lust night , * ' said the caliph. "I had a
dream to the effect that all the married
women in Bagdad .throw themselves on
their kneoh before mo mid bewailed their
condition. You are responsible for the
welfare of my subjects , and I want this
thing stopped , and by the beard of the
prophet if you don't put a stop to it I'll
put a period to vour existence. "
"Humbugl" replied Abdullah , "thore
is not ono married woman in Bag
dad who would swan places with any un
married woman. They are a'.l chronic
kickers , but , nevertheless , there are
some who arc happy. "
"Well , you llnd ono and bring net-
hero before the llrst of next month , or
ofT goes your head under the civil serv
ice rules. "
Abdullah supposed that in unearthing
a happy married woman ho had the
Hof teat job in town , whereas it was harder
than tracing a lost umbrella.
The llrst call ho made was on tlio
caliph's own wife. Ho supposed that
she could not help being happy , bht ho
was surprised when ho found that she
was the most miserable of her sox ; that
for abject wretchedness she captured
the entire bakery and some of the ad
joining building : ? . She had discover oil
in her husband's pistol pocket a letter
addressed to him and signed : "Your
loving wootsy-tootsy Fatima. "
As Abdullah was leaving tlio place ho
mot-on the stairs Bridget Muldoon , the
scrub lady. She had Chicago feat , and
wus not happy bucau.so her husband
'
would not allo'w her to compote in a
beauty show.
Wo have not space to record Abdul
lah's failures to find * a happy married
woman in Bagdad. Ho finally said to
his own wife' whnro ho thought ho had
a Huro thing of it : lliuily , 1 mipposo
you ave a happy woi iah/.are you not ? "
"I might ho happy ( f Jjonly had a hus
band who would aupplpiewith a few
decent clothes lo Jy-ofjv. This is the
third fall I'vo ' wornithib same bonnet.
Verily , Abdullah , yOiCfti'O no good , " re
plied his loylnjj wifi"J < 3
Abdullah , perceiving .that a great sorrow
row was gnawing at hlW heart , caused
the conversation to'r1//.intoothorohan- ) ( /

As the first of the InA'fith was rapidly
approaching Abdully.n.yogan ) to lihto'n
to hoar his own b'6ad drop into the
basket with a nauseiUirfjr reverberation.
"I'll lot you off thjV > U < ne , " said' the
caliph , "because wJiiJft/H'on worp off in
the country I have discovered a happy
married woman mvaftWYn Bagdad. "
"Impossible ! I'vo-a ked them all.
Who is ibis happy woman1" asked Ab
dullah.
"Your own wife. She told mo that
she was always happy when you were

Mrs , "Wlllai-d's cheeryfuco looked over
the top of the shilling silver oolTto pot
tlmt stood nt her ripht hand rollootlnt ?
her features In the most grotesque varln-
tions , but whether lengthened out to
onmclntion , or broadened to a hi Herons
width the reflections usually were tlio
innio genial suillo of kind-hcurtcilnos .
That ono bit of ( oxtravaganca wns a per-
polual delight to hot1 , satisfying1 her na
ture as on'y ' solid silver could hnvo done.
This bright little woman hnd a weak
ness for "roal thing : * . " the indulgence
of which her husband's ' somewhat limited
finances restricted.
"I am sure that one enjoys luxuries
all tlio more for having to plan and
economize in order to obtain them , " she
was wont to rumitrk with one of her con
tagious Binilos , and an allirniatlvo nod of
her head that carried the weight of con
viction with it. "Things easily obtained
lose much of their importance In one's
estimation , yon know , nnd I am confi
dent that those who arc in moderately
comtortablo circumstances get more real
enjoyment out of life than those to
whom cost signifies nothing. "
Mr.Villard came around to his wife's
chair , nnd with ono hand on the back of
it bent down ami kissed hor. Though
they hud buon married thirty years
their love for each other had not aged a
single day ) and now their hearts were
drawn closer by 000 great , common
sorrow.
"Isn't it a deal of work and worry ,
dear , .for just two of us1 ho asked , so
licitously. "Seeing that you have no
help at present , can we not bo quito as
thankful with our ordinary good dinner
as with these extra Thanksgiving
dishes1
" "You forgot the angel , dear. Wo must
have the regular Thanksgiving dinner
for the angel's sake , and our own , too. I
don't ' think 1 could bo quite happy with
any of my usual preparations loft un
done. "
As she spoke of the "angel" their eyes
instinctively turned to the third , unoccu
pied seat at the table. For twenty years
thuir dining table had never oneo boon
spread without this extra seat prepared
for the unexpected guest. The prettiest
pieces of china , a clean napkin and a
fresh bouquet wore always at the
"angel's" scat , in readiness for the possi
ble guest , and _ I doubt if the AVillards
would have relished a meal in their own
homo with this preparation loft undone.
It was to thorn as if a veritable angel oc
cupied the chair , a silent and perpetual
blessing in their home.
"No , " answered her husband , nnd the
shadow of , a , memory crept into his
eyes they used to bo stern eyes in the
old days , whenever ho was displeased ,
but a great grief had burned all sug
gestion of sternness out of them "I
have not forgotten the angel , or that it
has been our custom to always have the
scat occupied on feast days if at 110 other
time ; butwo. .have scarcely become set
tled in this strange city , and you have
formed no acquaintances as yet , not oven
a washerwoman' . * You would hardly
care to invite your Chinese laundryinan
to sit there on Thanksgiving' clay ? 1 do
not see liow you are going to manage it
in so short a timo.
' Nevertheless , I will manage it in
some way , and the angel's seat will bo
occupied tomorrow , " she returned
brightly , adding : "And I shall prepare
for my unknown guest as if it was to bo
my dearest friend. You will send tlio
things early , will you not ? "
' Certainly , my dear , since you desire
it , and God grant that your kind , un
selfish doing for this stranger guest may
'return to you fraught with rich bless
ing. "
"You always sav that , or something
like it , " she laughed , brightly. "As if
I did not got my recompense in the
pleasure these guests afford mo , and
you know you are as greatly interested
in this pretty little conceit of of tlio
dear childV her.voice dropped almost
to a whisper , and grow suddenly trem
ulous with tenderness that choked her
utterance so that the sentence remained
unfinished , but ho knew all that was in
her hotirt to say quite as well as if she
had Said it.
JJoiiding quickly ho drew her head to
h is bononi and dropped fond kisses of
sympathy on her forehead , her oycs and
her upraised lips , with all the tender
ness of a lover , this man beyond middle-
ago w.illt the white' threads In his hair
outnumbering the darker ones two to
one.
one.Hor arms crept up and clasped about
his neck. She gave ono quick , convul
sive sob , and the sigh accompanying it
formed this plaint :
" 0 , Richard , if wo could only find her ,
our lo.st ono. "
"Yes , dear , some time wo shall , " lie
replied , and hurried away lust ho should
bo tempted to reveal u secret hope that
they wcro very near their daughter in
this far west land and would surely find
her soon ; but knowing how fallacious
are all qxpoctatlons aside from absolute
certainty ho refrained from kindling
anticipations th < tt might never bo ful
filled.
Yes , there was n shadow in the WI1-
latd homo. IH there over a homo of
thirty years' establishment without its
shadow , I wonder'Tlio world knew
nothing of this Boorot sorrow , for Mrs.
Willard was so bright and uhcerful that
none suspected the grief close guarded
within the ohambor of her heart ; oven
her husband was not often permitted to
behold its rollection in her face. Ten
years her sorrow had boon an over pres
ent companion , and yet hqr cym looked
only laughter and happlnoss Into other
eyes. Knowing that human nature
turns from gloom and distress , she ac
cepted this inevitable truism :
" 1/mgli , and tlio world laiulis with you ,
Weep , and you weep aloiiu , "
and gave the world no opportunity to
share her grief , butextondod with lavish
generosity the sunshine of joyous ntn-
bcllishncbs to alj who were HO fortunate
as to o-jino within her happy inlluencp.
Mrs. Willard did not question her
husband's reason for this sudden and
unexpected removal to San Francisco.
She seldom sought his confidence , well
knowing thut ho would oiler it wion | it
was best she-should share it with him.
When ho informed her that ' 'important
matters" culled him to California she
accepted his assertion without inquiry ,
and hero they were in a sunny little co't-
tngo on ono of the many hllU sloping
down to the city's business center. What
a delight thcbo hills , and the novelty of
them , \UTO to her , liftJig ! every habita
tion above its neighbor and obstructing
the view of none. The complete cable
car system with which San i'VuiioUeo is
so abundantly supplied obviates the ilia-
agrecufle features of these nuniborloss
hills.
hills.Mrs.
Mrs. Willard finished her braikfustin
pensivn meditation after her husband's
departure. Who wui usually more de
liberate than ho , who o bubine * * often
hurried him ; but this morning when she
had so many extra duties to perform in
order to make ready the dinner for the
morrowof , which an unknown nnd yet an
uninvited guest was to partake , she
sonmod to Imvo quito forgotten the lapse
of time , and lingered at the table even
longer than was her custom.
The kltton stretched itself lazily on
the rug in front o ( the grate , without
attracting her attention. There was al
ways a kitten in MM. Wlllurd's homo , a
trrav kltton with a white ring around its
neck and white foot , when such an one
could be obtained , because It was a kitten -
ton marked thm that little Hlslo had
loved in the long ago , and whatever
had once boon dear to Elslo's heart was
sunrod in her mothor's eyes over after.
"Tlio little dining room is very much
like the ono in the homo of Klsio'schlld-
hood , " she mused , as her eyes wandered
ubimt Us sunny interior. "It really
seems as if she might step in nt any
moment and give mu a regular school
girl hug and then drop down on the rug
beside 1'attymlU ) . " Elsie's kittens had
all boon named Pattymlto , nnd the name
had descended to onoh of the family
cats , irrespective ot PCX , during the ton
years of her absence.
At that moment there came a sharp
little ring nt the doorbell and Mrs.
Willard hastened to answer It.
There is as much character in the
ring of a door boll as In the clasp of a
ban1 ! , and the ring of Mr. Willurd's
door boll on that particular morning
had "business" In Its summons.
"lie hasn't had time to order the gro
ceries yet , and if ho had , they would bo
delivered at the side entrance , " she
thought , spoculutlvoly.
It was a little iollow , not over 9 years
of ago , who stood on the doorstop with a
basket on his arm nearly as largo as
himself. Through the tattered rim of
his bnt looked a pair of the keenest ,
widest-awake eyes that Mrs. Willard
had over seen in so small a specimen of
humanity , alert , watchful eyes they
wore , with clear , honest depths to them
that gave you glimpses down into the
bov's ulTcotiouatc heart.
Somehow from the moment that her
eyes looked into his , her motherly heart
opened and took him right in , big bas
ket , patched jacket , tattered hat and
all. One might well call it a silent con
quest , for as yet ho had not spoken , and
had actually stopped into her heart anil
taken possession of it without so much
as an introduction ; but then ho was just
the bright , breo/.y kind of a boy that
people cannot help loving.
The moment tliat Mrs. Willard ap
peared at the door his hand Hew up to
his hat in order to execute a polite bow ,
which ho had practiced before his
mother many times ; but his thumb shot
through the torn place , and ho only suc
ceeded in tipping a part of the tattered
rim without any visible elToct on tlio re
mainder of his hat , at which they both
laughed , and she drew him into the
pleasant dining room before ho had
made his errand known.
"Tho wind blows so cold out of doors
this morning , " she explained ; "and now ,
ray dear , what is it ? Arc these ( lowers
for sale ? "
"Yes if the who's
, marm , you are lady
going to have an angel dlno with her to
morrow , " ho replied , darting quick , in
quisitive glances about the room.
"Who told you about the angel ? " she
asked , taking notice that the child spoke
quito correctly , and seemed a perfect
little gentleman.
"A gentleman asked mo if my flowers
were for sale , and when I told him 'yes , '
he said that if I would go to No. 07 Post
street the lady who expected an angel to
dine with her tomorrow would buy'what
( lowers She needed of me , and please ,
marm , I'm awful curious 'bout the angel.
Is it to bo a really , truly one ? "
Ho had placed his basket on the rug
beside Pattymite on entering the room ,
and now stood before her as tall as his ! )
years would permit , his hat in his hand
and his face aglow with curious expec-
peotnncy. >
Prom the first her empty mother-arms
had been aching to got the child into
them. She now drew him to her side and
said , with ar sudden huskiness in her
voice :
"Give me a kiss , my dear , and you
shall bo the angel while 1 tell you how
it came to pass , and all about it. "
At which lie flung his arms about her
ncek and kissed her with such impetu
osity that she nearly last her breath.
"There ! " ho exclaimed , Hushed and
happy over the experiment.
Mrs. Willard's eyes were lull of loving
'
ing light "asi sho'placed him in the
"angel's seat" at the table , and heaped
his plate with dainties such us children
like best , making two or three flying
trips to the pantry for that purpose , and
then , while ho disposed of the food
with a hungry boy's keen relish , she
told him of the little girl whom God
had sent Into her home nearly thirty
years buforo.
"Have you heard of the bible story ? "
she asked in the midst of her recital.
' 'Yes , indeed , rny mamma has told it
to mo a many times , " ho replied , earn
estly , "and I am quito well acquainted
with Jesus and his disciples , John and
Peter , and the others , you knOw. "
'And you have , no doubt , heard of
entertaining angels unawares ? " she
questioned.
l'O , yes. mamma told mo thut , too.
Are thev the kind of
angels you en-ter-
ter-tain ? "
It wus a dosporalo struggle , but ho
conquered the big word , just us he
meant to conquer till the obstacles of
life.
life.'Yes
'Yes , my dear , " she replied , "und
this is how wo came to start the pretty
custom. My little daughter's Sunday
school teacher told her the story about
'entertaining angels , ' und when she
came homo she wanted to keep u seat at
our table ready for the angel who might
ODJIIO when feast expected , for she
thought it would not seem respectful if
wo were not always ready. You are the
ungol this morning , my dear. "
A.t which the einull fuco grow quite
thoughtful. ,
" 1 don't believe thut I could think a
wicked thing today after being -your
angel for a little while this morning , "

it's the cake and jam , " he added , with

"I havo-a thought , my dear , which I

Mrs. Willurd , with a sudden lighting up

"Well , I s'poso 1 must bo going ; it's

"The shadow" did not creep into Mrs.
Willard's eyes once during that busy
day. She wing as her hands employee !
themselves with the manifold prepara
tions of the morrow's foasl. Little Elm-
plo fiongs that hud been Elsie's favorites
kept rising from her heart to her lips ,
and all the while the picture of a boy'n
bright , earnest face was before her men
tal vision.
"E don't often notice the 8treot urchins
whom [ mrot ; but this ono feoomml ti >
command recognition by his ulortnosi
and manliness , " remarked Mr. Willard ,
in explanation , as they worn seated In
their little parlor the next day. waiting
for their expected guests. "Tho moment
I looked into his bright , interesting
face it occurred to me that ho would fill
the vacant scat at our table today ad
mirably , and 1 confess the errand was
but a ruse that you might have an op
portunity to invite him. There is some
thing wonderfully attractive in the bjy's
fuco , don't yon think so1'
"Indeed I do. My heart wont out to
him the moment I saw him.1 Then as
the bell sent its welcome summons
throughout the cottage : "Lot mo
answer it. dear. I want her to fool
that I am like nn old friend before she
moots you. ' '
She ran out to the hall in nervous
haste , for though she hud entertained
many comparative strangers at her
luble in the bygone years this was the
first whoso name she did not know ( hav
ing forgotten to ask the boy this im
portant question ) and whom she had
never met until the dining hour. ' '
On opening the door Mrs. Willard
made the discovery that the slender ,
veiled lady appeared to bo uncontroll
ably agitated and was trembling in every
fiber of her body.
Her littlcson , however , was as bright
and engaging us on tlio day before , and
dolling his hat ( the rim of which had
been neatly mended ) ho blood bare
headed before hi * hostess and intro
duced bis mother thus :
"This is my mamma , and , please , wo
didn't remember to toll each other's
names yesterday , so I can't tell her
yours , but I told her all abjut you , and
she says she knows you und bus loved
you ull of her life. When I told'her
about the 'uneol's neat' she cried , and
was so glad. I "don't cry whim Tin happy ,
but mamma "
Ho never finished his most original
introduction , for just as Mrs. Willard
was about to bestow upon her guest a
warm kibs of welcome , thut trembling
little lady threw buck her veil , and her
intense voice filled the entrance with an
outburstof joy like the loosing of pent-up
waters.
"Mother , oh , my inothoi1 ! Dj-you not
know me , Elsie1' '
Elsie ? Why , of , c'Uirse , it was Elsie ,
the lost daughter. What reason could
have brought Mr. Willard to California ,
when his business interests wcro all in
Ohio , but for this very purpose ? Ho had
not received his daughter's letter , for
the reason ho wus not in Springfield
when it cumo to Hint olllce , being at that
time on his way to San Francisco.
The question nuturallv arises how
such kind-hearted pure-ills could have be
come estranged from their only daugh
ter for ten years. It bad all conic ah3ut in
the way that so ninny such estrangements
occur. When young Arnold came court
ing pretty Elsie Willard her father
mudo inquiries und research into the
younjT man's character and habits , nnd
bud discovered that he was a confirmed
drunkard. Elsie's father , whoso eyes
hud been stern in the oh ) duys , immeui-
ntely forcado the intimrcy and com
manded L1 rod Arnold to ccano his atten
tions to Elsie , declaring that she could
never become his wife.
Of course her lover persuaded her
thut her love ijlono could redeem him
from u life of degradation , and well ,
the girl was young und easily influence
Hot- father sternly liominandod , while
her lover entreated with passionate fer
vor , und the girl yielded.
Fred Arnold never forguvo Elsio'rf
father for his refusal to consent to thut
which would only bring unhuppinoss to
his durling , und us soon us they wore
married ho removed her to a distant
state , whore ho abandoned himself to
his former life of inebriety , utterly ro-
Hising thut she should have uny com
munication with her put-outs , bho ut
tempted it once or twice , and ho discov
ered her desire in tln.e to thwal-t her ;
but Mr. and Mrs. Willard understood
the rnuso of her long silence , und lived
on , hoping thut tholmrd heart would be
come softened ut lust.
Mr. Willard hud road of his non-ill *
law1 ? death in a San Francisco paper ,
und Ills removal to thut city was for thu
express purpose of finding his daughter.
Ho liud nol succeeded us ho hud hoped , ; ,
and only the day before had engaged as
sistance in his search , which might huvo
proved a tedious und expensive under-
tiiking hut for the continuance of thut
' kindlj' thought for others" which
Elslo's thought had established , and
which her parents had kept in roinoni-
brnnco over since.
The Biirpribo nnd delight of that first
moment of reunion cannot bo dubcribed , _ ,
for thu uctors wcro ull too much confused - *
fused with unexpected happlnos-j to ro- !
cull events clearly. Elsie wus the only - |
one ut ull prepared for the revolution ,
and no amount of preparation could calm
her excited norvcs. j
As for hichio Arnold , ho thought for J
ono moment thut everybody hud "i/ona . , _
ovu/.y,1' , as ho ufterwurd expressed it ; but * *
when mutters were explained to him ho |
was the most emphutlcof ull in his noisy 4
approval. i
The Thanksgiving dinner wus quite *
cold before they remembered why they
were assembled there , and for some reii-
son every ono except Hichie sooinod to
have lost ull desire for food. There is \
such a thing as dining on happiness until
there is space for nothing else.
