"I was in Khartum with Gordon. I did not regularly belong to the general's forces, . but I had volunteered ' as one of his aids-de-camp. Well, we were shut up In that ; death trap city of Khartum, surrounded : upon every aide by the forces of the mahdi myriads of fanatical Sudanese Arabs fol lowing that high priest of bloodshed. We English-were but a mere handful of jnelp; the auxiliary forces were wretchedly small. Our only hope was aid from Egypt, and, as the whole world knows, that never came. Poor Gordon was allowed to fall a victim to the mahdi's sword, and most of the garrison were slain. With the excep tion of Slatin Bey, who became a Mussul man, I think, I was the only European who got out of the doomed city with my Ufa That I did so is due to Ibrahim." Here an Arab boy, who had just handed Grimshaw some mail, hearing his name mentioned, looked up and smiled, showing a row of teeth exceptionally even and J white. ' "A few days after we entered Khar tum,", continued Grimahaw, "I was pa trolling the town under General Gordon's orders, when we came across a great rab ble of boys hallooing and shouting at a deafening rata I sent an Egyptian soldier to discover the cause, and he reported that the young 'fuzzy wuzzies (it is so- that Private Atkins of her majesty's troops de- nominates the Sudanese) were ' having fun' with one of their number. I was then, as now, intensely interested in native man ners and customs. Halting my men, I en tered the boisterous cordon of boys to de termine the reason of their tumult. "The little rascals were teasing one of their number. 'Teasing,' Indeed, in this case is too mild a word. They were beating and stoning the lad, who lay bruised and half blinded in the gutter. His turban was off, and his already scant clothing had been : .torn to shreds. I sprang into the middle of the mob and demanded the cause of such brutal treatment. At first they affected not to understand my Arabic and went on beating theirvictim, but when I had sound ly cuffed one. or two and summoned my interpreter to my aid I succeeded In mak ing them answer. " 'He, Is the renegade's son,' said a ring leader 'Hassan, the renegade's , son. Stone him in the name of the prophet.' ' "Then I understood. The poor boy's father, had taken service with Gordon, leaving his offspring to suffer all the cru elties which the Khartum children, egged on by their elders, were sure to inflict upon him. . I lost no time in calling up a few men and sending that pack of youthful fanatics to the right about. They went away, vowing dire vengeance on the 'rene gade s brat, ' and I raised my protege from the dust He had fainted from pain and loss of blood, but one of our surgeons soon brought him to. When he opened his eyes and saw me, he smiled like a little coffee colored angel and wanted there and then to give me his best salaam. Of course I made him lie down again, but he blurted out his gratitude for preservation so vigorously that he came near fainting again. . - ' ' Next day his father, Hassan, one of Gordon's servants, came to see him. ' The two had a long talk, and finally Hassan announced that, for his son's sake, he had decided to leave the general and go back to his cobbler's stall in the bazaar. Ibra him for the lad whom. I had helped to rescue was the same one now sitting be fore you soon recovered, thanks to his na tive, tough constitution, f He left my hut, absolutely refusing to touch any of the money which I offered him, " 'Protector of the poorL he said in hit quaint, grandiloquent eastern way, 'you" have saved your servant's life. Did not the mouse once repay the . lion that had been his benefactor? Lo, jl am the mouse, effendi, and you are the lion! Perhaps some day I may repay you. Salaam, friend ! Then he backed out of my hut, and I saw him not .for many days. "One evening; while hurrying through the bazaar on my way to General Gordon's quarters, a boy sprang out of a cobbler's stall ana handed me a tiny bundle slirv plng aWay into the darkness before I had time to do more than recognize him as Ibrahim, son of Hassan. I carried th bundle to the general, and together we un did its fastenings. Have you ever decit phered an oriental object letter? I mean a letter which is not written upon uaDer. bnt of which the sense is conveyed by objects uuweraanaine nKa The bundle handed me by Ibrahim was just such a communi cation. It contained a uucer collection nl articles. They were a niece of hroken knife blade, a scrap of green cloth, two flowers (marigolds. I think with nnlv ho heads remaining, a brick from the walls, and, lastly, an iron affair, which I at once recognized as the point of one of those sticks with which camels are urged onward uenerai (jrordon lost no time in nn. raveling the mystery of this missiva 'The green cloth,' he said, 'means the mahdi, because his sacred flae is irreen.

Make hftete, sahib, make haste f i saw the chance and seized it Before, you could have repeated ; the proverbial 'Jack Robinson' many times I had pulled those baggy Mohammedan clothes ovay my soiled and blood stained uniform. A tur ban took the place of my khaki helmet, and around my face I draped the white hood which- the Sudanese Arabs wear. Then before I could protest Ibrahim coolly seized a handful of mud and liberally daubed my face. ;, " "The sahib is too White he explained. 'The old blind priest was always black and dirty so kick off jour boots, sahib, and let me daub your feet Off went my boots, and in a minute or two my legs from the knee down were as brown and asjdirty as they well might be. j : : . " fYouare all right now, effendi, said Ibrahim. 'Let us make for the Cairo gate. .- "With all my heart I thanked the boy, but he would listen to nb thankft ' You eaved my lifa ! I'll save yours,' he said 'Remember, effendi, the mouse and the lion. i Let ng hasten to the gate. " 'But you are not coining? I began, when my protest was interrupted. by a troop of black mahdists surging into the little bystreet' where we stood. Never shall I forget the sight they presented in the false light of the burning, city, with their huge piles of hair, their ferocious faces and their spears and scimlters a-drlp with blood. I had given myself over for lost, wheu Ibrahim, gripping my hand, led me onward, calling in- singsong tones: 'Room for1 the blind priest.. Room for Amed, son of Ali, the soothsayer. The light of Allah is Upon the. blind priest ' "Taking the hint, I plucked up courage enough to 'shout the warcry of the mahdi The ' fuzzy wuzzie3, ' entirely deceived. joined in my cry. - 'Bide your time, holy father, said one of them. 'We'll give you plenty of Christian heads later on.' , lhen they left us, whooping liko .demons down the street, but- Ibrahim plucked at iny sleeve, and mechanically I followed him. Many times we met parties of the mahdists, but in the darkness -our ruse succeeded beautifully, and we reached Cairo gate in safetyj Around the gate, despite the confusion, a strong guard hadj been posted. In the open space without many scores of camels were sprawling. , . i 'A camel for the mahdi's messenger f cried: Ibrahim in his shrill voice. 'Ha brothers! A camel for the blind soothsay er, Amed, son of AIL who bears the mahdi's defiance across the desert f . "A dozen duskv warriors surrounded us. and as many awkward camels were prod? aeu to their feet. One of these ungainly beast3 was made to kneel, while Ibrahim made a great show of helping the supposed blind priest to a seat upon "its back. Just then a tall 'fuzzy wuzzy' clearly an officer1 rushed forward. 'Who is this?' he demanded. 'Where does this man go? The orders are that' none shall leave the gates before daybreak.' i My heart sank; but, fortunately far us. the natural superstition of the Arabs came to our aid. ' Have a care 1' isd one of the soldiers. 'It is a blind priest a soothsayer. He may curse you.. The officer step. ped back involuntarily, eying me with fear. 'Give us your blessing, holy father.' cried a dozen onlookers. "Here was a new predicament I could not remember enough . Arabic at the mo ment to give the idesired blessing, but a whisper from Ibrahim recalled to my mind a simple form" of words, which, eked out by discreet mumbling on my part and the loud responses of the boy, suited the Arabs well enough.' They prostrated themselves. the officer with the rest amid a great cry of 'Allah Akbar.' Then Ibrahim smote our. camel soundly, and away we went through the outposts, speeding fast from the gory city of Khartum. "The perils and adventures of the jour ney were too numerous to be told at one sitting, but it was nearly 4 month after that awful night that our camel limped into Cairo carrying on his back two emaci ated fugitives who had once .been an officer of the line and an Arab boy. iDralum nas been all round the world with me since and will probably continue to be my comrade until one of us twain de parts this life forever eh, Ibrahim, eld friend?" . ' The Arab lad smiled and spread out his hands. "My fate Is thine, effendi." he said. 'You saved iny life." ! "On that .score. Ibrahim." answered Captain Grimshaw, "I think that we are quits.

The statement has been freauentlv made that many of the new artesian wells on the desert of Sahara occasionally eject small fish. This statement which has been generally discredited, has been proven to be true by M. Desor, the Swiss natural ist After his return from a trip of explo ration In north Africa, M. Desor wrote at follows: "I found; hundreds of fish in the streams leading from the wells out into the sands. It is impossible that they should come from any place else than from out of the wells, for the water is not in commu nication with any basin, creek or river. The fish I saw at the oasis of Ainr Tala belong to the family of carps. The most curious thing respecting them is that, al though coming from a depth of. from anv place between 200 and 500 feet -they are not sickly or misshapen and have lnr&e and perfectly formed eyes.

NUTRt- Soaps, Sandwiches and Desserts That Cam Be Constructed With the Simple Ground'' . not as Fonndation-The Doctors Have Indorsed the Peanut.- y' --'-- ' The nutritious andextromely palatable peanut, which has been a decidedly popu lar feature of i the country circus and the country fair for: so many years, la now.rer; ceiving an honored place, among the nut family, regardless of the fact that It is aag from the ground like the potato Instead oi being gathered from a tree. Doctors have found that the peanut is "an article, of food rich in albumen, of which it contains 60 per cent with 20 per cent of fat and non nitrosrenouB extractive matters." And these little-ground nuts, as they were for merly called, are recommended as a valu able article of food, in the form of soups, purees and mush. The Chinese boil peanuts and roll them fine, mold them into a dough and bake; The contriving housewife has already discovered that peanuts can be used to great advantage in many ways, of which here are a few: ,'" Finely chopped peanuts eaten in milk in place of the rolled mush so much used make a dish very highly thought of, and one very acceptable for the belated shopper or to be eaten at bedtime when a light luncheon is required. Peanuts1 rolled fine and added to the bread stuffing for ducks greatly improve it There are several ways of using peanuts for-sandwiches. Oneway Is to roll the meats very fine and stir them thickly In mayonnaise dressing and spread between thin slices of bread. Another method is to roll or pound the shelled and skinned peanuts and spread them thickly upon thin slices of ' buttered bread. Sprinkle lightly with salt before putting the slices together. ; Still another filling is made by salting the powdered nut meats and mix ing them with enough Philadelphia cream cheese to hold tbem together. Spread this Dn squares of thin bread or crackers. These sandwiches are particularly nice to serve with lettuce salad. A peanut paste served on bread Is made thus; For. an egg beat a tablespoon ful of utter to a cream and Into It stir a table- spoonful of sugar and the yolk of an egg, ten until it is very light and thick. Secure freshly roasted peanuts, shell them and chopi very fine. Stir chopped nuts with the other ingredients until yon have a thick paste that will spread. Slice bread into very thin slices and cut them into somo fancy form, such as rounds, triangles or diamonds, and spread them thickly with the nut paste. Beat the white of the egg very stiff, land add to it a teaspoonful of powdered sugar. Pile this meringue upon the spread bread and scatter a few finely chopped peanuts over the top. Heat a shovel, fill it with hot coals and hold it over tbe meringues long enough to very lightly color tbem. These sweet sand wiches are nice to serve with chocolate or coffee in the evening. They may also be served for a dessert In this ; case a little bit of ' entrant jelly or a preserved cherry put into the center of each piece adds to its appearance. . Peanut meringue shells are nice to serve with plain ipe cream. Beat the whites of 4 eggs very light and stir In three-quarters of a pound of powdered sugar, a table- spoonful of flour and a cup of finely chop ped peanuts. Drop the mixture by the spoonful i upon buttered papers and bake in a rather cool oven.

Put a gill of milk and half a pint of bread crumbs in a saucepan and stir over the fire until there is a smooth mass, j Add half a cup of finely chopped peanuts which have had a tablespoonful of sherry poured over them, stir in tbe well beaten yolks of eggs and remove from the fire at once. n hen the mixture becomes cold, form it into balls and roll them in egg and cracker dust - Fry them a delicate brown in hot lard. Drain on brown paper at the mouth of the o?en so they will keep hot and serve them with a caramel sauce. For salted peanuts, 'shell and skin the paanuts and to a cup of nuts stir in a ta blespoonful of melted butter or oil and a tablespoonful of salt Xet them stand one hour; then drain and place them on a bright pan and put in a moderate oven. Cook unfil they are a nice brown, stirring them frequently so that they will brown evenly. ; Peanut soup is made like a dried pea soup. Soakli pints of nut meats over night In 2 quarts of water. In tbe morn ing add 3 quarts of water, a bay leaf, a stalk of celery, a blade of mace and a slice of onion. Boil this slowly for four or five hours, stirring frequently to prevent burn ing. - Bub through a sieve and return to the fire. When attain hot add a cun of cream. Let the soup boil un once, and it' is ready to serve. Serve croutons of bread with this soup. i To make a salad with peanuts soak a cup of the nut meats in olive oil, drain them and mix with two cups of finely out celery ana a dozen pitted olives. . Mix them with a .mayonnaise dressing and serve on let .co leaves. This is a nice salad to servo wita duck. i To make peanut jumbles weigh a scant half pound of butter, add a half pound of powdered sugar and stir them to a cream. Add S beaten eggs and a little nutmeg. Take one cup of finely rolled peanuts and stir them in with three-quarters of a pound of flour. Break off pieces of the dough and roll them in sugar on the molding board witn cne nana and form them into rings on a buttered pan, leaving a space between them to spread. Put 4 half peanuts on each ring and bake them in a moderate oven to a very delicate brown. Peanut wafers are delicioua To make them stir to a cream half a cup of butter and a cup of sugar. Dissolve a scant .half teaspoonful of soda in half a cup of milk and add it to the oreamed mixture, and then stir in 9 cups of flour and beat the mixture, vigorously. Turn a baking pan upside down, wipe it very clean, butter it and spread the wafer mixture over it, using a cnne to maKe the mixture smooth and quite thin. Sprinkle the top thickly with finely rolled peanuts and bake the wafers in a moderate oven until browned. As soon as the tin is taken from the oven cut the cake into squares and plaoe them on a molding board to cooL Pat these wafers into a tin' box to keep crisp. New York Sun. ' Tho Gentle Japanese. There is one peculiarity about xne Japanese tnat is Dot particularly known they never utter an oath," said Colonel R. W. Gruber. "The reason for this ia that there is no word; in the Japanese language which ia equivalent to an oath. Even the vast number of foreigners -who have ! gone to that country during me last ten years ana the thousands of new words added to the language have. not in the least affected the Japanese la swearing. In this re spect the Japanese stand alone, for an otner innabitamts of earth can, TtrVlOTi rrlAi A ""v wji un a tacK, use a stronger expression than the one used j in; general, conversation."
