Bat she before long broached the sab- jeot of her own accord, and it did not ap- pear to be at all a sore one. ** When yoa are my sister we shall leva *aeh ether very maoh," she mnrmared len I am yoar titter T I don't exactly onderstand?' answered Nellie; nor did lb*. " Why, when yoa are Ahmed's wife we â- hall be sister, shall we not? That is what all wives of one man call each ether in this oeantry, and they generally love each other like real sisters as well. That is to say, when they have ao good and kind a husband a* Ahmed, yon know." ' Then I mast be y«nr sister already, for the msha believes that he has married ma." " Believes, little one T If be has dene so lie must know for certain, I sheald say." *• Well, he thinks so then," rr joined Nel- lie, petulantly, ' but I am quite sure that ha haa not, first, because I was n* consent- ing party, and secondly, beeaoae I naa an- mer nun's wife at the time.

A 90^ and blessed thing it b to be the. wife of such a man, for she never liears an angry word drop from his lips. He b rvally one in a theusand, and now that he haa â- nnk all the EogUah ships and taken the Englbh King prisoner he will doubtless be soade the sovereign of all Egypt and will be •imeat aa great aa the Soltan himself." Hb takfaig of the Englbh King prisoner •mnaed N*Ui*, despite th* sorrows of her haart. After that she saw It would be a vain and foeUsh thing to pump the Yalide Khaaeam aa to hew the ww was going en, â- bio* her rapllea would be very unstrnaV worthy Indeed.

Aa to Mr. Trearrr, she seldtnn even inquired after him, audi conduct marking the dif- ference between living with a husband twen- ty years and two hours. One day the Yalide Khaneum came into Nellb's littie room with an open letter in her hand and a face that was very cheerful and bright, and addressing the fair girl by her naual affeotionato epithet of ** Littie Sia- tor," said to her in excited tones « I am the bearer of good i^ew.

CHAPTER LYIIL nUVK DONBLLT AT LASt CBOSSSS SWORDS WITH ABABI. When Captain Donelly fell back with hb littie force on the main boc^ of hb regiment, carrying hb wounded and the captured I^yptlan battery, he received aome praise frem the oolond for the saooess which had attended his reoonnaisance, and upon hb representations and at hb request Pat Mon- aghan was given a corporal's chevrons on the spot. CJIIte is It was not the time to reet on a mere handful of laurels, however, fer the war upon which they had entered was to be one of the sabre and the spur far more than of the cannon and the rifle. ..•'^^^V^-^ Within twelve hours of thb brush at El- Magfar Sir Garnet Wolsaley felt strong eoough to press on towards Cairo, for he knew that aualnst an Oriental foe daah snd daring were everything. ' With General Drury Lowe's splnadidjoavalry brigadF» Gra- ham's fire-eating Irish and Soottbh infantry and the stolid Engliih guards, under the Queen's third son, the Duke of Oennaught, who, if not very qukk in the advance, would at aU events, be a deuded deal slower in ran- ning away, he prepared to carry a strong position at El-Mdiula, ten miles nearer to the capital But the Egyptlai^ found out that they only doubled in number the Britiih and so retreated precipitately direetly they came in vbw. Thereupon, Drury Lowe's cavalry, com- pibing the Irish dragoons, the IJfe Guards and an Indian lance regiment, made a sweep- ing flank movement on Mahsameh station and the railway, hoping to get in their rear and cut them off to a man, but the Egyptians were so swift footed and the ground so bad for cavalry that he failed in this. By midnight the Britbh vanguard, oen- aiattng of General Graham's btij^e of 1,800 bayonets, a Bengal lance xegtment and our friondsi the Irish dragoons, wt re at Khassas- ain, with their nearest kupporto hidf a dca^n miles in their rear and the slow moving guards just as far to the rear of them again. The British van liad thus aeoempB^hBd a quarter of tbedbtanoe to Cairo with na loss at all to speak of, but new tntolligenoe was gathered that at Tel-el- Kebir, some deaen miles in advance of them, Arabi Pasha had formed a perfect desert Gibraltar, witii three lines of defenses, all defendedb/ heavy bat- tories of Kmpp guns, and that there he had dbplayed the green standard of the prophet and had called together the ulamas to bless hb cannon and hb cause, all thb that hb seldbry might be brought to consider defeat Impossible. Such a formidable position, defended by so many heavy cannon and muined by five times as many soldiers as the' British Could bring upagafaiat him, formed ample grouada toauthorias such hopes and fill him with such oonvlottont.

So he quitted hb trenehes and advanoisd on Khassasain in force during the night, hoping to catch General Graham napping, but that gallant commander slept .. with one eye open, weasel fashion, and hb put j^keta were too tried soldiers to sleep at all, so the sea- like murmur of the advancing Egyptians was challenged in three different plaoea at once by the wasp-like " plng-ping-pii^c " of Britbh rifles, and the out sentries retiring on the ploketa the alarm spread like light- ning, and within five minutes the infantry bri^idea were falling In at the double and the cavalry trumpeto were sounding " boots and saddles." ^^ By thb ttnw the ^yptains' shells Were whbtting into, the British camp, fired point blank like cannon balls, and knocking ever tiie rad-ooatod infsat^ Ilk* nitiAfaue^.v But befora ttwy had don* much dh^uig* a battofy of bora* artillery ran theb guns up to the top of -a aand hill and began to give them cold iroa id tan, BIS tlMtJbr a littie whil* it waa '^bowl devlVbewl bakar," aad when the BrlttAiafKBtiy dspb^adapatsa^ aa en panda aad pappsiad the 4aiA^ fa* with thsir Houi-Maitinb, th* Tnsimhifl waa*ah*t timtit asanad t* tarn their â- tomaoh* for-figfatiag.

Then, suddenly, a feaifal shell fire waa opened up«m them frem a battery on the railway bank, and nwny a man and horse waa rolled ov*r. But not th* ilight*st apparent oonfnsion in their 1 anks waa oocasioned thereby, aad Pat Monagbaa presumed on their long close taitorooura* to olMerv* to Captida Dinelly, whose hbrs*' tail twitohad tn* nswlymad* oerporal's oharget's noae, " Bedad, an- thb b a hard pounding, yer honor but the langh will be to th*m who poond th* longoat." •' Bight, my brave fellow, and my heart pounds against my ribs more jeyonsiy thaa it has don* f*r weeki, for he who baa stolen my young wife Irads that oavalry in person, and I will soon discover whether either hb sword or hb vaunted talbman can guard hb life," responded Frank, as he looked baok at Pat with flaahlng eyes and grinning teftth. At thb moment the gray-haired oolonel sl!*it*d In clarion-like tones ••Close up I Cle**upl At them like an Iron wedge, my lada t Gallop I C barge I" A j«yons rbging shoot, a momentary flMh of sword budes in the ab, the neigh ing of ti^ war hones roshing to the battie, the bhyr^ef tramp, the clattering of empty sworCscabbards and the jingling of ohain biidab was snooeeded tha next instant by the shook of tiie oharge (for, bapirited 1^ their gnat leader's presence among them, the Mosbm cavalry oame to the acratoh for once), and then steel rang en ateel and horse bit at hone, and there waa the horrid noise of cloven skoUs and the thud of falling men, all faitermbgled with shrill British oheerf, the dtmon-Ie Anb teobir or battle ory, cunes, shrieks and gnans, and now and then a pistol shot, but, strange to say, this latter few and far between. Amidst the tomultneas sea of nnyiag hnmai)|fonns and tossing hone's heads it waa some Uttie while befon Fnnk Donelly oould dbcover him whom he espeoUlly sought, but suddenly in the very thickest of the strife, he f0und himself face to face with him. The recognition was mntoal, and the next instant theb blades wen crossed. Both had been prevfonsly whetted, and both Briten and Egyptian was full of the blood lust tli^t b ever bora of such deadly strife. This, added to theprivato anfanosity that eaoh bore unto the ether, made them fierce indeed, and they attacked eaoh other se furi- ously that spa.rks of fire flew from the tem- perad steel, and almost immediately they wen engaged to the veiy hilt. Both were superp swordsmen and eaoh horse knew hew to aid ita rider by rear, deml-volt and curvet, but the Damascus stool had for once to Buooumb to the well forged Sheffield blade â€" for Damaaoos forging b net what it once wasâ€" and Arabi Pasha found himself all in a moment grasping little mt N than the hilt of hia weapon, for nlae-tentha of the blade had been whirled into the air. There waa no time to draw a pistol from hb holstor, for hb rival's sword waa at hb throat, and tiiere was death in that rival's eyes, if it was expresiied by human orbs. ' Strike," gasped Arabi in Fnnob, " strike! Di I look as thoogh I was afraid to db T" Fer a moment longer Frank Danelly striking aspect of one who oeuid not help hetbero, but then he suddenly lowered fab sword point, at the same initant hiarfng be- tween his teeth " Shall a Chriatiaa b« outdone infaner- oaity by a Moalwn T Never. Betalo your Ufe, at whatever coat to m* had mfai^ I cannot take h," and as thongh fearful that he might sttU be tempted to do etherwiae, he wheeled bb charger aharp round and galleped away. Bat by thb time the battl* was nearly ever. The I^ptlaa infaiAn wen la full ntreat and a seoend or tw* later the Egyp- tian oavalry alao bnke and fled, whibt the Irish dragsoas, new reinfmroed by the swarthy Bombay cavalry, pursued them across the desert plain to almaat under the guns of the Tel-elKebb batteries.

A Sleeping Oar Incident In a sleeidng oar, just at the time when the seata wen being turned into beds, I happened to be bzily eyeing a bridal oonple on theb honeymoon tour.

Tuerefore, the negro porter of the oar astounded me when he sad to the young husband â€" ' Wouldn't yo' ristah, sah, like to have her berth let down 7" She lifted her head from the mar- tial shoulder, smiled sweetly, and murmur- ed " Yes." '•Thbis my wife, youraaoal," said the man, but with what seemed to me singular amiabilhy " yon needn't make up the up- per berth in thb aection. The lower one wHl be enough." " Beg pardea, sah. Yea, sah " and the portor went at tiie job with the kind of vim and alacrity never seen in a darkey who b- n't sun of a special fee.
