Sie the t rain reaches the -station. jack having been here befere, knows the atlas. and pilots his party by 'mane of what seems to be an under - end railway into the eity proper. Here they emerge, and find them- eelves in Stamboul—around them are the thousand and one strange sights that greet the traveller in Turkey to- day. Jaek takes them ta a house—here he finds an red friend with whom Aleck and himself lodg-,ed on the former oc- casion, and who now receives him evarinly. Hotels are almost an unknown lux- ury in Turkey, and what inns there are Eurcpean visitors avoid as a general thing, seeking some private house to which they have been referr- ed by friends who have been here be- fore. Avis watches Jack closely—she rea- lizes that everything depends on him, and does not desire to divert his mind from the business on hand. She be- lieves he will succeed, but the posi- tion is grave, and nothing must occur to annoy him. As for Larry, he is in for seeing the sights, and without any leas of time proceeds to take them be, wandering about the crooked streets under the care of a man he has engaged, whose e. ordinary business is that of a hamal, or porter, but who nevertheless makes a good guide.

Somehow he has reached the conclus- ion that his own fate depeeds upon his success in this game—that if he saves Aleck he wins his sister, and, indeed, remembering the desperate natere. of he work before hire, it is emt out ef, the way to believe that he must reSeue Ale,* or lose his even lite in the at. tempt. aleving seen the lashes sate in the IfaUSe.

He gives the Turkish armorer cer- tain work to do, and declares that he will return to the shop to hear his re- port at dusk. Achmed knows where Abdallah Pasha has his residence— just outeide of the great city, and overlooking the blue Gcsphorus—one of the loveliest sites the human mind could conceive. His grounds are not- ed for their magnificence. Certain European friends of the Pasha, who have travelled a great deal, have seen and admired the palace and its sur- roundings, but none of them have, with the owner's consent, ever set eyes on the interior of the harem or the ser- aglio, where the beautiful houris of the Orient pass fheir life of luxury. Achmed has a hard task before him, tut he is more than ordinarily shrewd for a Turk.

The fates are against him. He finds that the minister, together with the British authaseador, has gone oft for a cruise on a new vessel that has just been built for the antlquatto3 TurInsit navy. "When will he be back ?" "With rare good luck, If the en- gines do not break down, in it day or so, but," with a shrug, "we always allow for aceitlenti in Stamboul." Just so, and. this mots Doctor Jack back a peg or two in his calculations. Ho remembers the Quinnebaug, the old style American man-of-war. then In port, and wonders if her captain dares to tiesist him, shakes his head, grinds his teeth together, and says, emphatically :— "Before I could set the wheels go- ing he would be here—no, 1 see very plainly this good arm alone stands be- tween Aleck and death." got his hint that his friend Aleck had not been killed, but was a prisoner in the Turk's palace, and he is now sent out, well supplied with money, to as- certain the exact truth. As for Doctor Jack himself, he hies away to the water front. His idea is to buy a fast beat of Some sort, and have it in readiness _ .for immediate flight. There are a number of men-of-war at the Golden Horn, and among others Jack sees one bearing the Stars and Stripes. What a thrill the sight of the dear old flag gives him. If he could only rescue Aleck, and all of them get under the shelter of that flag, they would be safe, but he knows the commander would not dare shelter them after they have entered a Turk- ish palace and defied the power of a Pasha, so he makes up his mind to de- pend only on himself. Making enquiries he finds a vessel for sale, and discovers she is an Eng- lish yacht, small in build, but well manned. He meets the owner on hoard, has a private talk, and in half an hour the Thistledown is his. The crew greet their new master. and Jack is in charge. He has a talk with the captain, and examines the interior of the yacht, making sorne suggestions regarding the hold, where a fine hiding-pla,ce can be made betwren two bulkheads. Having given eaplicit Oyders. Doc - CHAPTER X.C. If ever Doctor Jack was aroused in all his life, he certainly is now—a lion at hay could not exhibit more anima- tion, for success or tailure means much to him. Thcre are rare quali- ties about this man that make him an enemy to be feared—his usually quiet manner can be thrown off, and a, fierce aggressiveness takes its place. Passing along through the streets he heads toward the bazaar. Crowds jostle him—they are composed of re- presentatives of many nations—Cir- cassians, Arabs, Russians, Jews, ne- groes, Greeks. Armenians added to the Turks themselves, Servians, and natives of Monteaegro—each in his na- tional costume, make a •spectacle not to he found elsewhere upon the globe. Looking neither to the right nor left, Jack more than once stumbles over some mangy cur, of which mil- lions, one eoula almost say, roam the crooked thoroughfares and alleys of old Stamboul, where day and night magnificence and squalor go hand in hand. A pilgrim with a camel, direct from Egypt or perhaps Persia, adds to the Oriental interest of the scene, while a fellow who has a performing bear from the Ural Mountains, draws quite a crowd but mighty few pla.stres, for the Turks, as a rule, are close with their small coins. So Jack pushes M. He is so wrap- ped up in thought that he overshoots his mark, and finds himself opposith a. mosque, which he remembers in far- ther down the street than the bazar in which Achmed has a stall. His attention is attractedby the loud voices of a band of howling der- vishes in the mosque, and he glances in for a moment to hear their con- tinual shouts of " La illa ha ilia Al- lah !" and witness their contortione. Jack is no stranger to the sight. He has looked upon • dervishes of all grades, from the dancers * of Stamboul to those of the singing tribe, who take the place of • our " little German band" in Persian cities. Turning back, he is soon in the bazar—it is less crowded now, but Achrned is there, waiting, ready to lead the daring American to the prison of his friend, no matter what the danger. They pass out, and once upon the street, Jack manages to disguise him- self a little more, so that at first sight he may be taken for a Turk. Under the guidance of the faithful Achrned they gradually leave the busy mart behind, and enter upon another portion of the city. They are aiming for the suburbs it the direction of the Sults,n's palace, With 1140 ,Concesleil Reok—Death by ItOtiteeppealtil frout tJi0 'slew oI tie Torture Wait the Inevitable Plante.

It is nothing more than a common syringe or pop -gun. Piecing the tube between the first end second fingers of my left hand, I introduce it thus into the calf's month.

C. P. Goodrich has said that hundreds of cows are destroyed every year in his county be having their teats stepped upon by cows beside them, which is a strong arguneene for having a partition between the cows in the barns. Mr. Woodward, in a recent artiole, referred to his caw stalls as having a partition be- tween every cow. It seems to me no more important toplo has been referred to. I have been milking and oaring for cows since I was old enough to squeeze the railk out of an easy old cow. My father ran an all -year-round dairy for tnany years of from fifty to sixty octets, carrying his milk nine miles every morning to the cars, which took it to New York city. I was a good milker before I was in my teens. Clean milkers, clean cows and clean stables and the milk properly oared for were requisites for the milk to get to New York city in first- class shape, • But of all the devices I'M°, a stall with a partition beetteen the cows es the best—a box stall just the length of the cow, and from three and a fourth to three and a half feet wide, with a rope drawn behind to keep each cow in her place. The platform can be kept olean with a splint broom. A cow can lie with her head by her side and go to sleep. She has no desire to back into the gutter and bring back filth. In being released, the partition swings and she can leave the stable without soiling a foot. In the stocks a oow could be kept pretty olean if her platform just exactly fitted her length. But oh, the tail! How often the tongs were needed to lift it to the tail holder! A carload ot stalls were taken by farmers about here just the other day, which means that hundred! of in ilch cows will leave their winter quarers next spring with no manure plastered on them. It took but about a year to con- vert the dairymen of this country to the mercy of elehorning, although the first ones who had them cut (I was the second) had to hide for awhile.

Li Tomsk one can buy a very good sable for something like 6 or 6 rubles, about 1115. In Omsk few are sold under 10 ru- b1es—£1 is. In Moscow 100 per dent goes on. In. St. Petersburg no one ex- cept the middle class or a functionary would wear a sable under £5. In Paris and London a real Siberian sable skin will fetch anything up to 420, but the imitation sables of the present day have Had a Practical Education. The following is a copy of a sign in a remote Georgia county: "A Few Bright Seholards Tahiti to Lern Wfitin, Spailin an Figgers." A traveler, noticing the sign, asked the prinoipal where he had graduated. The principal pointed to a cotton field near by and said, "Right over their, sir, behind a Georgia mule, under a July sun."—Atlanta Constitution. lattcr part of this energetic exordium Vas lost upon mother shark, being drowned in the wash set up by her great tail fin, which was going in grand style, starting her off at sech a xate that two or three stragglers of the fam- ily had to skip like shrimps to get in- doors before they were left behind and lost. Straight as an arrow to the mark went the tiny guide, keeping just in front of his huge friend's snout. Together they swept into the shadow, where, sure enough, a mass of meat hung just below the sea surface, though gently lifted al- most out of water every now and then. "Oh, do look-, mamma I There's a big dazzling glare of white appeared, and there beneath the speaker was a tires- centic gap in the smooth, livid under- side fringed with innumerable points like chevaux de frise and as big as the gap of a coal sack. Around it the small pilot circled excitedly at top speed. Slowly the mate as gently slacked away, there was a gulp, and the big joint dis- appeared. There was a flash, a splash and an eddy.

"Lay aft the watch," roared the mate, and amid the trampling of niany feet, a babel of directions and a tremen- dous tumult alongside, through the writhings of the oaptive monster, she was transferred forward to the lee gang- way, where, by the aid of a stout watch taokle, she was hoisted out of water. "Don't take him aboard," cried the captein. "Make such an infernal mess if you do. just spritsail yard him and let him go agen." So a piece of scantling was got from the carpenter, pointed at both ends, about four feet long. This they drove between her jaws from side to side. Another wedge shaped piece was planted diagonally down through her broad snout, the upper end pointing forward. Then they cut off the wide pectoral fins, letting the quivering car- cass fall into the seaagain by the sim- ple expedient of chopping the hook out. "What abominable cruelty," muttered a gentle faced man among the crowding passengers, as he turned away sick at • heart. But the bustling seaman looked pityingly at him, woeclering doubtless at his lack of spOrtino' instincts. Thus • Sheep Ticks. Every one who has sheep knows the tick, the worst pest of this animal, that does serious harm to the young lambs without suspicion of the cause to the shepherd. This reddish brown creature is a wingless fly and a very greedy blood- sucker. A dozen of them mea lamh,wi qpickly suok the little one dry. It is be looked after at the time of shearing, when these insects go for shelter to the Iambs. It is found mostly where the animal caranot reach it—on its head, buried in the skin, sucking the blood. Its skin is tough and it is not easily crushed with less than a blow of a ham- mer. In small flocks it is not much of a job to go through, with a pair o small scissors to cut the ticks in two, but where the flock is over a score it will be necessary to dip the lambs.— Exchange.
