we could make our escape down the !

steamers for use upon the ;

these lay not more than n stone's j

"Kassee's bright plan was for us lo !

clitnli aboard and. aided by Ihe dark
ness, casi her adrift. When some dis

"There was soiiicthin.i; fiiscinalilis;

As ih

close by. I called lo I lie caplaill, tell
iug him I was from Khartiiatii, with
news of Cot'ilou: he al otiee put about
and came lo my rescue. The rest yoit
already know, my friend."
Thus Mynheer Joe finishes his story.
It has not taken a great while lo tell
the facts, but volumes i ould be lilled
Willi Ihe details. lb' elide;! vors lo
control himself when speaking of Oor
don's death, but il is evident that
event has made a powerful impression
on the sturdy explorer, w ho so oft, n
has fought side by side with the chris
tian hero.
Sandy has ceased making his hieiu
i;lyphics upon I he pages of his note
book. II is face beams with enthusiasm
at Ihe thought of being li-st with this
authentic account of Cordon's death.
Al Ihe same time, out of respect for
Ihe feelings of Mynheer Joe, he en
deavors to subdue this mark of jour
nalistic pride and appear sober, but il
is really beyond him.
As for Mr. Crimes, ho has observed
the narrator with deep interest all the
while he tells of the strange things
which happened to him. Whatever is
passing in the niind of the silver king
he dues not allow it lo be shown upon
his face, which Is as expressionless as
that of I he Sphinx.
The messenger from Kharlooin sits
there for a brief interval, with that
look of sadness on his lace, as though
ihe ihoimhis surging through his mind
have b. ell too much In' him.
Coiiii', rouse yourself, my boy! You
are among friends at last, thank
heaven, and will be tie- lien of Cairo
when it is publicly known that you
wire with gallant Cordon when he
fell," says Sandy, but th" other holds
up his hand, and says niiieily:
"Tluil is a distinction 1 do not crave.
Somehow 1 feel guilty ill not leaving
my body beside Cordon. At best. I
see nothing to boast of ni having es
caped his tale.''
"The brave are ever modest." says
S.iud.v. "At least, you will make il re
port lo Ihe proper oilieials lo-uioiioW
and verify my dispatches';"
"Yes. a very brief one. That is only
just. I would, for certain reasons of
my own which you caunoi understand,
keep it as quiet a possible."
"Just so!" remarks the ilver king,
in such a peculiar way tii.it Mynheer
Joe glances ot him. and then finds his
attention caught by a photograph on
tin- wall, which he sees for the first
time.
'That face again! Whose picture
nave we here'.-" he demands, with
an alarming in'i Test.

"Why not? There is somethlag re

thodox way. or you'd know her name,
while she could never forget yours."
"Well, yoll see it's a poor place to
ask for a name when salt water, is
running into mouth and ryes," returns
Mynheer Joe.
The corrcspondenl appears to have
received a tremendous shock, for. sud
denly springing to his feel, he clinches
the explorer by the arm to whirl him
around so that he may look in his
face.
Confusion! Were you the hero of
that little episode at Malta a year
ago';" he demands.
"I don't know about being a hero,
bill I did have the extreme pleasure
of jumiiiug from my sailboat and sav
ing, from a watery grave, a young
girl who had fallen overboard from a
boat lhat nearly upset in a squall,"
returns the man from Kharlooin. mod
estly. Mr. Crimes puckers up his lips as
if to whistle, and his whole manner
says: "So. that's the way the wind
blows, is it. coming events cast a
shadow before."
As for Sandy, he shrugs bis shoul
ders ;iiul pretei'ds to look dreadfully
disappointed, i hough there is a twinkle
in his eye that tells of a sly humor.
Von cauuol always ts:ke Sam'y as he
appeals. He has iftiti turned nut to

Instead of looking llattered the par
ty addressed has something of a bored
appearance. A man who has devoted
his life to science and cxpluratinu has
no business, to fall in love. His heart
is NUpimscd to be wrappid up in his

The Mexican brenkf.ist. like thai or

but slightly. Iiinm-r is li nally served

housewife I'll.rs eoliipai.l lively little at

anything; herself If pa -try is desired,
it is purchased in the dtileeria.
Nothing is baked in a Mexican house,

bought from hakeis. Me.:ean cooks
do not, as a rule, umleisianil pastry
