He gnaahed his teeth as ha oenduded, and, striding forward, seized Nellie by an arm but no sooner had he dons so than, his rage and Indignation getting tlie better of hia pmdenoe, Frank Dtonally smote hjm In the face with all his might. ArabI Pasha stoggered, but reoovered himself adroitly and the next instant the point of his swerd was at the dragoon's throat, who, folding his arms on hia breast, awaited death unflinchingly. His nndfcujited d: msanoi^ t was that sav-' ed him, for the muiderons look that had come into the war minister's eyes died out of them again and he sheathed his sword with a clash, saying "No, I will not be tempted into riaying a brave man, no matter how great the provo- cation." "You will wrong him far more by stealing away from him hia lawful wedded wife," said Frank. "I am not conscious of doing any snob tiling/* retorted the war minister Indignant- ly. r'Her parents declared unto me when I took her to wife that ahe waa not ours, that it was an idle ceremony that had been performed between yon. They ahould know, and I can hardly balieve that they deliber- ately lied unto me, whUat, on the other hand I know that the ceremony which unit- ed us together was a holy, a solemn and a binding one acoording to my own creed. Thus, in my opinion, I lawfully and rightly olaim her aa my own, and thus do I seize upon her and give her in charge ot my people." /Gadaa he concluded Arabi Pasha onoe more pounced npcn Nellie and this time swung her round into the arms of two of his f( llo wers, to whom h aaid "Take her out and monnt her on one ef the swiftest yet gentlest of our horses, and death to all who would rob me of her, for every man has a right to defend his own." When Nellie had disappeared from view the war minister turned on her pareote. " You deserve no consideration at my bands. Yon are calculating, mercenary and heartless. I cannot express my contempt for yen both. If you wish to accompany your daughter, for her sake ou are wel- come to do so." "I wish to accompany my child,of con rse," said Mrs. Trezarr, in a tone and with a man- ner whioh (he in ^vain attempted to make dignified. Her get np as a oanvasse was against that, imd, indeed, Arabi's fierce fol- lowers could not all of them restrain a grin, "I, too, wish to go with my wife and child, yonr excellency," said Mr. Treaarr, with no attempt at dignity even, that arti- cle, if he still preserved any, having alip- ped down and hidden itself away In his boots. No sooner had he thua delivered himself than the war minister, without ddgning to make him and hia wife any reply, ahout- ed, addressing his followers generaUy "Take them away and mount tii^m on quiet horses, and whilst preventing any at- tempt at escape, see that they come to no harm." Whereupon the banker and his wife dis- appeared from view as suddenly as their daughter had done, leaving only Frank Danelly, Pat Monaghan and the clergyman to be disposed of. Arabi Pasha did not look aa though lie should take long about this lot. " Yen are a man ef peace," he aaid to the minister, " so here Is a safe oondnot, with my seal and signature attached, which wilLanable you to go in peace wLiiherso- ever yon may feel inclined. Have no fear, for even the fierce Bedouins, who cannot read, know the seal well enough, and your showing it will render yon aa safe In the Btreeto sf Alexandria, -even at a time like the preaaat, aa though they were those of London. No thanka, air, but go. The way lies epeo and I liave no tima to listen." Mr. Ralliiigatone did not rcqiilr« to be twioe bidden. He fixod the safe oondnot against his head oevoring in such a way that tlM ouriona seal of yellow wax should beceaspioneuseven at a distance, and he drove a pin through both so that by no possibility should it git lost. Then he sat hioudf in motion as fast as a EoUingatone oonld do, and so disappear- ed in turn. " Oaptain Donolly," said the war minister then, with a srtim smile, " we seam destined to eaoouator eaoh other at the moat inep- portUBO momenta, and perhaps I never felt so tempted to cut your throat as I do at the present one. u you were only arm- edâ€"" " Tiiat oan now b« managed^" ox ol a im e d ear hero. "Bid one ef your followen to lend me a weapon and here on this spot, foot to f^t and blade to blade, we wHl de- cide who Is the rightful huaband of the fair girl who is your prisoner." "Allah has decided thatalrwdy, through the aervloes of the Ulema. As for your petition, it is the request of a m a dm a n and M snoh is refused.

CHAPTER Lm. THBOCGH BUBHIKO AIitXAHDUA ASD OUT AT THB BOSIITA GAXC " Pat," said his maeter, as the two pass- ed out ef the house, " tell me, in as few words aa poesible, how yon have managed to impose upon the Egyptians so efieotaally as actually to get into thdr confidence. It might put me up to a wrinkle or two, you knew." "Bedad, yer boner, audita little that I've get to tell. You know about when ye left me. Well, the nagun didn't think I was worth looking np and for some reason or other seemed half afraid to kill me, and so they tamed me ont of doon with more kicks than ha'pence and told me to go tothodevU." " And what happened next, for I see that you did not take their advice I" " Faitli, no for I'd found even Egypt a deal too hot for my tastes. But whin I got ont into the town I might alaily have fancied myaelf in purgatory, and what wld do flamsa an' the blood an' the soreeohtng an' throat cutting, faith, Donnybrook fair would have been a Qaakers' meeting to it. I got ont of the way into what looked like an empty honae, for I waa never the chap to thruat myself Into company where I wasn't appreoated at me proper value; but hardly had I lain myaelf down on a sophy when an Egyptian rushed into the room witii in five minntea of my laying myaelf down, and, Inoklly, befora I'd time to fall aaleep, and who, seeing me alone ta me glory. U^gty^a^efl not knowing who glory wid a few mohesov cold steel a tew monesov ceia steel in me brisket. Igotnpqulse politely to reoeive him, an' as his weapon waa all point an' no edge, I clutched the blade, and at the end of a tassle got It away from him and then mnned it trough him. I took hia clothes and left mine behind, an' whin I'd put on Us duds, I methought me of a little bottle wUch I'd left In mewesket peoket, an' which I'd appropriated for bettor or worse at the hotel we put up at." " If It waa whiskey you wished It a larger dcss, I'll be sworn, Pat." " It waa labelled Pison, an' sura it was jnat the remains ov wliat the landlord gave ye to color yer honor's face and hands with, I'd collared it against eyentnalitiea through seeing it lying neglected on the carpet in one comer whin I came in for me lady's traveling box. Ill be as good an Egyptian aa any ov them now, I says to meself as I rubbed it in, an' I thfaik yer honor will allow that I've been a better Egyptian than most 7" " But how did yon get back to the arssnal, and so impose upon ever) body there 1" " Ooh, bedad, an' that was the easiest matter of alL 1 ahammed dumb tiecauae I knew so little of their lingo, an' I played the fool to get into their good graces. They say here tut the devil makea a rogue, but God makea a fool ao they beat the one and pet and pamper the other." " They thought you wen harmless as a dove, Pat, whikt in fact yen wen as art- ful aa a fox, and so they let you go about the place unwatehed, getting all these disguues and ao forth, thtnfcing the while that you had no mora object In assembling them than a plundering jackdaw." " Your honor's about right, which praves that in Egypt as well aa elaewhera it takes a wise man to play the f ooL I only hope we II be abletoateihl a pair of horses before we've done." " We'll say ' requisition,' for it haa a better sound, Pat. Well, we go into the armory after all, so that we oan defend our- selves If attacked and sell our lives dear- ly. But horses we must obtain, for I have swom that I will follow my stolen bride throughout the length and breadth of Egypt befora I will calmly surrander her up to a Moslem like Arabi Pasha. " Bedad, and aa long aa yer honor fol- lows np the young lady, so long will I follow np yer honor. But hadn't I better play dnnuny asaia, for hen we are in the public atreetr " Yes, Pat I think you had," anawered his maater, and they walked on In ailenoe a whUe. Not that then, seemed to be mnoh need for such a preoaution, since the whole place seemed to be deserted, save by a few wandering dogs. No sentries wera at the arsenal gates, a white flag waved fram the summit of tiie areoial house, and en looking down the bread therou^an to the left the Ras el- Tin palace was obaerved to be burning fiercely, the flames leaping ont. of every window and even upwards tiurough gaps in tiieroof. At tills moment the sound of desultory firing proved that the town waa not quhe emp^, the evidenoe being confirmed W an oooaaional piercing shriek bnt Frank Donelly gueesed that the sounds were caused by those human vultures, who in all oountriea gather on suoh oooaskns Uks ravens to a feast, and who iriiUe eogaged in robbing the wounded and the dead kili all wvjs have atrength enough left to struggle. From snoh grim birds of prey they Iiad littie to fear, for a deaen of them weald shrink away from two armed men juat as a paek of wolves soampor off at the mese rear of a Uoa se tte two Irishmen walked on undaunted, gr a spi n g ia tiieir liaads the leaded revolven whioh they liad appropri- ated from tiie war minlstsrs pcivato armory after lie had taken hk departure, as it now appeared, from the eity itsalL Dotting tlie vast plaoe in all direetiaas werebeuss of murdered Enropeana. and on tiie pavsmsiitjentside the Ottoman Bank they lay la heaps and fat aumbor to certain- ly upwards of a hoadred, sobm witti thdr throata out, othan with tlirir hsads slashed entirely efl^ nearly all witii their UndM gashsd or deft In twain, and ttieir trunks disfigured by many a hideous and veogef ni wound.

" Well, yer honor, he'll be a rogue if he does, and hell be a fool if he don't. So, as SUM aa yer honor fellows yer wife lest as surely I'll follow yer honor." (TO n CONTINUED.) Wive's lerrea. There b not a wife living who would not resent being told that her wonumly nature, her true aeu, was being destroyed, nnder- mined by a too Intenae and abaorbeid devo- tion on the part of her huaband that ahe was daily losing womanly atatength and force, and rapidly beoondng a clog and im- pediment to her hnaband's progress, because of.his indulgence. We hear a great deal aaid about the selfishness of men, but un- biaased obaervers will have to admit that a great proportion of the selfishness that es- caped from Pandora's box found refuge in the hearte of women. Leok about tbe world and aee if you do not find as many hnslMLnds vbtims of a wife's nerrea, *he^daoh6, â-  or backaohe, as yon find wives ss6rific^3 toA husband's sins or wetnesses. .Men's' aote of selfishness are more apparent, as a usual thing they are mon flagrailt. Woman'a selfishness b mora insidious, A husband's comfort b wholly dependent on a wife, If she onoosea to revenge her- self for any inattention or deprivation, then are thousands ff petty ways open to her that a man wouH itoora to use. The writer oaUs to mind a pratty, girlish wife, who was excessively jixtravagant, aad who had a most devoted husband. Sitting with a party of ladies one day when the lubjeot of managing huabands waa under discussion, she shook a pntty golden head, and witii a merry laugh said, " I manage better than any of you when Sammy don't do just aa I wan't him to, I go to bed and stay tliera till he gives in." Then was a burst of pro- tests, bnt the young woman want on with perfect oalmnoM. ** You know, bat week, you all thought I waa HI. 1 wasn't. I wanted a hnndrad dellara for my spring dress and bonnet Sammy yonid only give me fifty but 1 toll you he was glad to give me the other fifty to get mo up. I'd {^ve stayed then until now, if he had net," And she looked around; with an air of trium- phant pride. There an few women who re- sort to anch methodsâ€" none worthy of an honest love bnt an there not women who assume a cold, reserved, oonsfarained man- ner if they ara deprived of an indulgence or Uberty, women who reaent, perhaps unoon- soiondy, any control over aotiona or expehd- itnrea? Few wives or children stop to think how littie, comparatively, of a husband's or father's inoeme b expended on himself alone. Hie major part b devoted to home and ita Inmatea. This, financial ahnsgation b aoeepted as a matter of oourss bv tiioso at home and abroad, aad the world makes a butt of the man who does otherwlss bnt surely the deq^eet devotion should be riven in retora from those who ara beaefited by it.

A BflOT FAOM TAB SADDLE. An Advcntnte with ApsAes. I new hear the Apaohes mentioned with- out shuddering. It wss in the summer ef 1878 the Apsehas wen tiien peaoeful, hot an outbreek was ei^eoted at any momenta One day, while tcavelling by rail in New Mexico, and while engaged in converaatloa with an old nktier about the probabilities of an outbreak, tiie old gentwnan suddenly oalled my attention to A SEBIES OF PACULIASSIONS wUdi he dlsoened in the dbtanoe. Point- ing hb long, bony finger to a range of moun- talna, he said ** Young man, yonr eyee am bettor tlian mine; aee if yon can make it ont." The cleaness of the atmosphen rend- ered objeota many miles away perfeotiy db- eemlble. On the top of the Fiorita monn- tidns, and on either side of a paas whi^ onto the range in twaiae, I oonld eaaily aee two bands of Indiaiu. From tiie nddst of those on the south side of the paas there arose a perfeotiy ROUND BALL OF SMOKE, the signal of the Apaohes. That tlgadi waa anawered by the wavbg and taming of a blanket fastened to polos, by Indituis on the opposite side of the paas. The latter were renegade Nava j lea. The old settier said the signs were nnmbt:ikable, the Ap- aohes wen about to go on another raid, bnfe in hb opinion they were going aonth and wanted the Navajaea to si? with them. When the train arrived at Djmicg the facts, known were rq;iorted to the troops stationed there. While ataying in tbe town I leuned that a party of ndnera had stmok it rich In the Fiorita mountains, at a point about fourteen miles from there, and I resolved to vint the camp, I bought a beautiful blood- ed horse, fully sixteen hands high, very powerful, and which seemed possessed with the intelligence ot a human being,, and roda away. I found the camp without any troa- ble and learned that the atoriea of the min- er'a great find had been greatiy exaggerated. In fiwt, they wera pulling np stakes prepare atory to leaving that day for a camp soma mllss dbtant. They begged me to accom- pany them, giving aa a raaaon that the ISDIANS WEBE ABOUND TnBIB OAHP the night befora and it was unsafe for mo to return. As I had an engagement in Daming that night I refuaed their offer and started on the return trip. The men acoom- mnled me to the tndl, where we parted. The tridl at the foot of the monntain wan abrupt, and ran through a small canon. Juat as I emerged fram the gorge I saw a sight that fairly chilled me to my marrow. About a quarter of a mile to the right of the trail wera seven of the most hideous-looking soonndrals I ever looked upon. They were a portion of Jaronimo's savages seated on ponies, and a glance ahowed me they were heavily armed with Winchesters. Besides having their war-paint each wore a aort of skull cap, on the aides of whioh were faat- ened the hoins of a deer The moment I came ont they set up a shout that MADE M7 BLOOD BUN COLD I couldn't go bjusk to the mlnern with any certainty of finding them, for we had been separated an hour. To go ahead would probably result In a horrible death. To retnat and hide in some canon was impos- sible, for tbe devib would find mo to'fight thena in their own style would be madness, for they would starve me out. My only n- course was to make a race for my life. I knew I could depend upon my horse nnlesa he should meet with some mishap, and my mind waa quickly made np. I urged tho splendid animal forward. He, too, seemed to appredate tbe situation, for he leap- ed down tiie steep inoline without a mU^ step, and THE ACE FOB LIFE BEGAN. The red devib, too, were urging their po- nies to the utmost, and it looked aa thon^ they would head me off. At the ton(di of the spurs my horse fairly flaw over tha ground, and as the dbtanoe to tbe objaotivo feint grow less the excitement increased, thought ef her to wliom I wfis ts be join- ed the following month. It was my last trip, and shouldl be kilbd who would know it T Would the red devib leave enough of me by whioh I could be recognized, should tiiey oateh me? All these thoughts ran through my ndnd like Ughtning. I had naoheid a point when it was imp ssible for them to head me off, and I knew that nnbsa my horse stepped in a hole I would win tiio race. I had still about foar miles to tiava when HT BOBSE STUMBLED. Fortunately, however, I caught the horn o the saddle and saved myself from bein] thrown over the horse's bead. He raiaoi himaelf and was away like the winds, while the Indians, with a yell, began firing. Here was another trouble I had not anticipated. I did not fear being hit myse f, bnt what I my horse should be disabled The honae and spires of the ohnrohee could easily be seen, and if I oonld only attract the atten- tion of the people by firing I would reoeiyo theb aid.
