MAGIC IN THE EAST. 1 have intended to tell the story of lit- tle Akli lief‘ t,. I Isn't kr.ow why I haven't done so, unless it has been be- cause-- But I will tell the story this time. I h'd been journeying through Egypt in company with my friend, Harry Kel- lar, the magician. We were stopping at the quaint old town of Boolak, which is tsitnated on the right bank of the Nile,.at the divergence of its Pelneiac branch, one mile northwest of the historic city of Cairo, of which it forms a suburb. Our holt was an Egyptian grandee, whose fine country place overlooked the shipping from just outside the more densely populated part of the town. One day we were strolling dawn near the leading. when an old Egyptian market woman besought ns to purchase some of her tsmartnds, naming an ex- orbitant price. "Why, my good mother, do you sell these tamarinds at that low figure?" ex- claimed Kellar in mild surprise, ad- dressing her in her own tongue. "They are worth much more than that, I am sure." She looked surprised; so did our host. "Yes, I was sure of it," Kellar con- firmed, and he broke one of those that he had taken up and drew a small cop- per coin of the country from its renter. For a moment the woman was too startled to do snore than regard the coin with wonder. Tben, however. her nat- ural avarice asserted itself• and she matched the bit away from Kellar's un- reeiYti- g hand. "Ah! I see you are a fakir," our Bost said smilingly as we moved: on. "It was well done. Now I know that you and my other esteemed friend here will more than ordinarily enjoy the slight diver- sion I have to offer for your entertain- ment after coffee today. Perhaps, too, you may have the keenness -though it is not in me to explain the performance to divine how little Akli can survive the marvelous act Abalani forces him to do, and to discover how Abalani can perform his part of the strange enter- tainment. But abort the old market woman: A servant told our host later that she had hurried directly to her ride cot on oar departure, where she luul carefully opened every tamarind in her basket to find the copper bit in its center. The disappointment she suffered on not find- ing a single bit of money and the lose of the spoiled fruit served her right for at- tempting to impose upon the supposed ignorance of strangers. But Kellar was too large hearted to allow the lesson to be one that should make her the poorer, and the servant was diseatcbed directly to the old peddlers home with more than twice the worth of the fruit in cop - That evening Abslani, the fakir, ar- rived at our host's house. He wee a small, wiry little man. whose age was about 4l, if yon were to judge it from the dark, clear eyes with which he quickly gram med you rap. They seemed to pierce me through and through as he made a deprecatory bow before me, his thin arms and palms extended toward me in the attitude of benediction. His only garments were a light breech- cloth of a dark reel shade and a flowing silk mantle, dark yellow in color. The only ornament he wore was a dark cop- per ring hanging from his neck by a gressy looking piece of leather or cord. I looked for Akli, the little boy with whose amistance he performed the tricks we expected to wj,nees. But Abslani was alone. I then looked for the coil of rope which I had heard played a part in the strange spectacle. The fakir had brought non,. 1 said to myself that we were to be dis- appointed, and that the fiche we•sea limbed fakir had come to make excuses for his inability to amuse ua this time, and I could see that Kellar thought the same. But our boat retained hia wanted good nature as tbongh nothing was wrong, and it was not the plash of either Kellar or myself to stow disappointment Meanwhile the little fakir led tbs way tom smooth bit of round not far from the house.

Then, with a task motion, he pitched one end of theme straight up into the air, kelpieg tits ctfo er end in Ilia grasp The line seemed to catch up there hl the atmosphere. It staid there dangling down between us. Abalani ordered Akli to climb up, hur- rying hien with a word of impatience and stamp of his foot. Akli shook the rope with one band, as if to see if it were quite secure, and then did as he was requested. L•p, up, up, he clambered, higher and higher, gradually growing smaller and .mailer as Le ascended until he actually disappeared from view. Yet we could tell that he was still climbing away up there, for the rope before as trembled with the motion that he mads. Abalani did his best to study it. Then enddenly the fakir clapped his hands and sprang to one lade. We heard the rushing mound of a body falling through the air, and then the form of Akli landed upon his feet before as un- hurt and smiling. Another clapping of Abedani's hands, and rope and boy both disappeared. The fakir stood alone before ua. Kellar and I were mystified. He asked that Abalani perform the trick again. When it had been done a second time, Abalani left us as per flexed as before. For my part I gave the whole riddle rap. I had seen many a strange feat of jugglery, but this one completely non- plused Inc. Kellar was determined not to leave Boolak until he had satisfied himself as to bow the trick, or feat, had been performed. A week passed. Our host enjoyed Kellar's quandary keenly as a boy, and joked him about it. However, Kellar joined ua on the porch one afternoon with a certain amused expression upon his face that made me feel reeeonably sure that something interesting was rap. "I should like to see little Akli climb jest once more this alteration," he said, dropping into a 1^w steamer chair with more satisfaction than I had noticed him erinoe for the past week, "Con and I should bo leering tomorrow or the newt day at the lat 'et." To make known • wish there was to have it gratified. After coffee that aft- ernoon Abalani came walking gravely up the shaded path, his slight figure clothed as before -in the flowing mantle and scanty breechcloth -that dark cop- per ring, a shade lighter In color than the breast it hong against, his only dec- oration. As before, he was alone. There were the same low salaams, his dry, hard palms that were of almost the whiteners of mine being stretched over us. Few words were spoken. The man could sot have been more deferential. But at the same time I thought that I detected a gleam of egotistical challera, in his dark eyes that maple me hope Kel- lar would succeed in detecting his trick and increased my desire to know how it was performed. We moved down to the place in the garden where we had witnessed the ant before, Kellar clipping into tlli"T1pOM a moment first. Little Akli appeared as brigbt rad /aniline as when we had first seen hitn. The rope appeared, Aldi had climbed it, when I heard a alight, sharp "click" on the nicks where Kellar was standing. When little Akli had clam- bered out of sight, Abalani clapped his hands twice. We shuddered as we heard the sound of Akli's falling body. The rope had disappeared, and the little fel- low stood there bowing before ,ss. The next moment he was gone. Kellar hurried me into the hoose and to our room. The room had a dark closet, and moon Kellar was hold op a dripping 4 by 8 plat. from his camera for inc to view by the dim light of our rflby lantern. I could see our host, arms akizebo, looking up wonderingly. I could ass Alta- Iani-showing up white in the negative-- his e ative-.his thin arms raised above kis head, hie feet braced widely apart, as they had beep when steadying the rope for little Akli to climb when I had heard the shutter of the canoes map. Bet there was no little Arkli b be seen anywhere, nor tier rope, for that matter. Abalani had mesmerised our host, Kellar and myself, but it was beyond his fakir skill to mesmerise our detect- ive camera. --Conyers C. Converse to New York Herald. Cb/r1w Dud...
