It happened to me near Assiout in Ismail's cla,ys. 1 was a bold .young man then—too bold for Egypt My Lather hada piece ot ground by the river side that was afterwards taken from us by Ismail for the Dairat - " In our village lived a Sheikh, a very hard man, a Aluselman, an Arab, e clescen• dant of the Prophet. He was the greatest Sheikh for miles and milesaround. He had a large white house, with green blunts to the windows, while all the rest of us in government lived in mud -built huts, round and low like beehives. He had date palms, very many, and doums and doura patches. Camels were his, and buffaloes, and peses, and cows; 'twas a very rich man—oh, so rich and powerful. When he went forth to town he rode on a great white mule. And he had a barein, too; three selves of his own, who were as beautiful as the day—so girls who had seen them said, for, as for us, we saw them not—plump women every one of them as the Khedive's at Cairo, with eyes like a gazelle's marked round with kohl, and their nails stained red with henna. All the world said the Sheikh was a happy num, for he had the finest dates of the country to eat, 'and servants and camels in plenty to do his bidding. "Now there was a girl in our village, a Nasrani like, a beautiful young girl; and het name was Leila. Her eyes were like those of that ohild there—Zanobi—who carries the effendi's water -gourd on her heed, and her cheeks were roundand soft as a grape after the inundation. I meant to wed her; and she likedine well. In the evening we set and talked together under the whis• pering palm -trees. But when the time grew near for Inc to marry her, and I had'arecsng. ect with her parents, there cisme a • message from the Sheikh. Efe had Seen the girl by the river as she Went down to drew water with her face unveiled, and though she was a Nusrani, she fired his 'soul, and he wish- ed to bake her Bawler, from me to put her into his harem.

One night I quiet- ly stole away from home and friends and came west. I smiled around the lake to Grand Haven, and in a small Ind= canoe paddled up Grand River to the recall of Bass River, then up that river to what was known as the head of the bismuth. There I built a small shanty and lived there for several years by hunting and trapping. When the pioaeers asked me what my name was, I told them it was Handsome Smuggles and I was never known to the woodsmen by any other name. One day I went to Grand Rapids to dispose of some f urs.

I never returned to my cabin in the forest, but tramped my way eastward, and finally, after several weary weeks of travel, arrived at my old home, where until now I have remitined.

" You' see, he lives near Eighty•seventh street, and when the Hell Gate explosion occurred he fell on her . neck and hugged her, owing to the shock." " Yes; it was a eery shocking affair. But, joking aside, he .is not the only man who is supported and kept up by his wife's mother. I krater 'kits of them. .-(Siftings. The Hustler Unhastled, How does the hustler work?
