Neverthelees, many times during the
day 1:e is seen to entile when there may
be slanting vieible to cause such action
-his thoughts revert to the morning's
scene, and. bring him pleasant vieione.
He already begins to experience the
joys of a new life -it seems to him that
he could never have more than half
lived before.
Nevertheless, he puts in a good solid
dazes work, and everything he does is
carried out well. To follow him on his
round would be the best way in whieh
we might ascertain what he managed
to perform.
Passing along the street, he enters
a bazaar, and is halted by a cry of
" Fezes, in the name of the Prophet,
fezes." This is the man he desires to
see, and soon a bargain is struck -

no one ever comes back from the
Orient without a red fez, to be used
as a smoking car), perhaps.
Jack has no design upon the national
Tneadgear of the Turks, nor is he en-
deavouring to get up a corner in fezes,
but he bears in mind that he will want
8. boat's crew from the yacht ashore
that night, and if they weer this cover-
ing on their heads they may be mis-
taken for Turks and thus a false
.clew given that will be of value later
,on.
Jos& now proceeds to the water's
'edge. The handsome little Thistle-
down, is riding to her anchor not a
hundred yards away, and a whistle at-
tracts attention on her deck.. A boat
drope into the water and makes for the
• shore -not pulled by brawny sailors -
that day is past among yacht owners,
for every well established yacht now
has as a tender a tev mtv-one or

ing upon davits. If' the captain de-
sires to go ashore a match is applied

ter may desire to have saprivs-te eon-
elersation with him, and where can a,
better place be found thau while driv-
ing „about upon the laltie waters of the
quiet Golden Horn? ,
Jack takes' to the idea, and for an
hour they glide hither and thither,
while the Arnericaa talks and im-
presees several facts distinctly upon
the mind of the cantain-that he is to
have a heat reseed by four Zack Tara

It hes the appearance of a large re-

Both wrong, gentlemen. Since last
heard from that delayed train bas
broken the record. The pasha has
bought the officers in charge body and
sold, and the rails have become ac-
tually hot under the flight of the ex-
press eastward. From this time on
it will be known as the Flying Turn,.
The whistle that eur friends hear in
e distance as they halt under the
wall actually announces the arrival et
the exPrees within three miles of Stam-
boul. It will draw up to the station
exactly on. time. This gives a chance
of complicating- matters. There is a
presvEct of a, lively tune ahead.
Jack and the two with him mourit
the wall In the Same way as on the
preceding night, the rope serving them
a good turn. Instead of going direct-
ly toward the palae, they turn in the
quarter where Jack and Aleck wrestled
with the Turlee janizariee an the oc-'
Mien ot their former viett, when
Aleck was captured.
In a. short time they reach the
hore, where the little waves are elms -
!ng each other over the pebbly beath
wlth a gentle lapping sound. Jack
looks out over the darkened water.

walks along a short distance, until a
boat turned bottom up is sighted.
This is the plaee agreed on as a Mu-
ezvous between them. Jack gives
signal, and a dark ilgure rises up
frgp behind the overturned boat like
"That you, captain." asks jack. In
low tones.
Tes, sir," comes the guarded re-
ply,
A few sentences peas between them,
and Jack understands thaa all is in
readiness, waiting for the signal. The
men are dressed like Turks, so that
should they be seen It will be believed
they come troll Stamboul, and are
thither bound again.
Satisfied with this. Jack again seeks
his two companions, and they turn
toward the palace. Somehow he seems
to feel a heavy weiget upon his Spirits
-be tell what causes It, but
the uneasiness is there.
"Larry, are you armed ?" he asks,
cl
"'Yes, but you don't think we're go-
ing to have a wurnpus, do you? To
my mind the coast seems clear as mid-
day," returns the dude, wondering
what has come over the usual,

osophlcal Jack, and laying his ner-
vousness at love's door.
"1 don't know, I seem to feel it

goes to ids own room, and col-
tLarry, who is set to work an his
own small trunk. For a time great
ellen:Tr is displayed. At the end of
the este.= minutes the two trunks are
ca.rried off to the tailwrie station by
Jade,u ho has, through Achmed, en-
geged a vehicle by the hour. He finds
they can be sent to Rome, and that is
ne load off Isis mind.
As he returns in the vehicle to the
house It begins to grow dusk. The
nue is near when they must depart..
Zack has been wise enough to have
Achmed as a driver. Another man
might have learned too much and be-
trayed them finally to the Pasha, for
consideration.
Reaching the house, Sack joins in
the meal then being served. The la-
dies have their hats on, and are all
ready for trae ening. Avis looks an-
xious but brave, and did Jack call up-
on her to aid hint in his desperate
plans she is in a. spirit to meet him
halfway.
At last they enter the old vehicle -
the best Achmed could pick up in
Stamboul, where porters carry loads
instead of beasts of burden, and don-
ktys take the place of horses very
generally, although many Turldsh of-
fieers own Arabian steeds.
The ride is a quiet one -Indeed, con-
verzation could not be carried on in
the lumbering old vehicle, that pitches
and tosses terribly.
Avis is content to sit beside Jack. In
the darkness he has an arm around
her, and holds her hand in his. He
does not know whether heaven will be
kind enough to let him look on this
Icve of his again, and the thoughts
that flock in his mind are solemn. ones.
At length the horrible lurching, so
like a ship riding out a heavy sea at
anchor, ceases, and Achmed comes to
let them out. They have arrived, the
lights on the water show where vari-
ous ships are lying at anchor, and
Jack eagerly points out one particular-
ly bright gleam, saying "That is our yacht, Avis. We shall
take our wedding trip in her." at which
she laughs a little, though too serious
just now to think of much levity.
The boat is quickly found, the port-
manteau and ladies put aboard, a few
words exchanged, a low order of "let
lads,'' given, and they separate.
Jack draws a long breath of relief -at
least Avis is safe from the clutches of
the Pasha. He has had a strong idea
all aieng that it is Abdallalde inten-
tion to put another nail in Aleck's
coffin by scheming to get pessession
'of his sister by fair means or foul, 'and
this accoutts for Saxic's manifest de-
light at having cheated the Turkish
ogre of his prey --yes, thank God, Avis
is safe, no matter what happens to
hours, Heaveu alone knows how, but
with, alternate hope and fear -a men-
ta.1 fever and ague, as it were -hope
sending a warm wave over him, and
dread succeeding it with a raw chill,
They listen to him climbirig the
wall -he is in such haste that he ever -
does the matter and slips back.

The bells have rung out the hour be-
fore Jack and his friends leave the
beach, so it is a little after ten when
they come In sight of the palace walls.
At this very moment a vehicle is be-
ing driven from the railroad depot to
the palace of the rich pasha as fast as
a fee of a dozen gold medjidies can
urge the driver to hasten. In this
carriage three men are seated -we
have seen them all before-Abdallah
Pasha, Don Carlos, and the matador,
Pedro Vasquez. The last has come a
long way for revenge, but he has en-
tered the service of the Turk, and bid-
den farewell forever to Madrid, whose
fickle populace would never greet him
save with jeers after that last un-
fortunate engagement with the black
toro that Senor Sack slew.
'Unless our friends are exceedingly
active in their work, they win hear

rushing home as if some intuition has
warned him of danger. When he ar-
rives at his own a whirlwind' will

Doctor Jack is the first to reach the

arly where the spot is, and marked
It, so that a minute later he bends
down to feel for the grating. Therb
It is, sure enough, just as he believed.
How quickly the athletic American
secures a strong clutch of the bars -
he braces himself for a grand effort
-no man in Abdallah Pasha's employ
coted accomplish such a feat, but
Jack's greatest power lies in his hips
and back.
As Achmed and Larry come up, the
former with a small' iron bar he has
brought for the purpose, they hear a
crackling sound.
" What's that r. demands the dude,
suspiciously.
"1 have torn the grating from its
socket," replies Jack, breathing hard,
and yet speaking as though it were
nothing of much consequence. ,

secured:

in the nature of a Matrimonial. adver-

a Californian and reads:

The grave of a second wife was em-

equally appropriate:

Mr. McKinley quotes the only ora-
tion over the remains of Tom Paine, the
infidel, written by himself and deliver-
ed at his request:
Poor Tom Paine, here he lies!
Nobody laughs, and nobody cries
Where his soul is and how it fares
Nobody knows, and nobody cares.
Mrs. Alger contributes a .curiosity,
but fails to say whether it is to be
found in a Michigan burying ground or
some place more remote:
Here, fast asleep and full six feet deep
And seventy summers ripe,
George Thomas lies and bopes to rise
And smoke another pipe.
The following, however, does come
from a Michigan cemetery at La Pointe

Whose sudden death was early brought on.
Trying one day his corns to tuow off.
The razor slipped and cut les too off.

The parts they took to mortifying,
And poor, dear Roger took to dyeing.
