Meryon did not nt mice reply. Tie took his cigarette fane frnm his pocket, Pfleoted a cigarette and said to the Nubian of the nargili-h: "I'.oy, a lif-'ht." After obtaining it he in a whiff or two with a thoughtful air and then turned pravely to his host. "Prince," he said, in a tone of Icy clls tinc tiifss, "it Is fortunate for you that I did nnt take your bravado in earnent. If I thouxht," he continued, with a stern and kn look, "that you nitual ly meditated violence to me and there by to the nil-powerful nation which I represent if I believed that, within three months your kingdom would have been wiped from the map, arid you and your subjects would be on your way to New York to become waiters in the public restaurants!" There was a silence. T'.oth smoked. Meryon with lent?, serene inhalations, his highness with short, sharp puffs. At last he said: "Your statement, Mery on I'neha, seems Improbable. I have Indeed heard that your nation Is great, and I know that the ways of Allah are "And It's Your Tnult. unfathomable. Injustice dwells not In my heart. You will admit that you have been hospitably entertained" Jleryon BtlfHy Inclined his head, at the same time slightly lifting one eyebrow and shrugging the opposite shoulder "but It hus eome to my ears that you have ventured to look upon and even to address communications to thu princess, my daughter, apparently pre suming her capable of deigning" Once more Meryon Interrupted. "Prince, you employ words which I won't take from you. 'Deigning!' Does the tom-tlt condescend to the eagle? It was my whim to lay aside the cares of sovereignty (which I must resume on my return home) and masquerude In this out-of-the-way little corner, for a while, as a mere traveling artist. Hut In birth, station and power you're sim ply not In sight, beside me, not to men tion your Interesting fumlly." ' The prince, by a nervous Jerk of the .elbow, upset the. narglleh, which the Nubian deftly caught nnd replaced. "I've been studying your little princi pality," resumed the other, "with a friendly disposition to do something to Improve It. I heard you had a daugh ter, and It struck me Bhe might be the means of my helping you. I'm unmar ried, and though I could get a wife worth a dozen of her in New York or Chicago, to say nothing of Boston, yet I believe in occasionally crossing the I higher strains with humbler blood, and I 1 have had thoughts of honoring you and exalting her by a union with my self." A dozen things rushing at the same Instant to get uttered at his highness' single mouth, naturally got wedged, like people trying to escape from a burning theater, and the prince became crimson, but said nothing at all. Jlcr yon went on: "lint a serious objection has arisen, for which you are primarily to blame, and which you must remove If I am to go on with the scheme. Tcrah though I'm confident she is a good little girl and personally incapable of evil is, nevertheless, conventionally speaking, damaged goods. And It's your fault." The novelty of his sensations was hypnotizing the prince. Ills eyes rolled outward, and his breathing was sten toi lous. lint he no longer attempted to address the meeting. 'Qui facit per alliim, faclt per se," the American continued; "you are to blame for the crimes of your head eunuch, for you ought to have known better than to Instruct such a clumsy beast with such delicate responsibili ties. Kit her from brute carelessness or worse, IIiIh fellow, llatlpha, the other day, suddenly sprung Ternh on me with her countenance in a condition which I shudder to describe. It she I In short, her veil was down!" Here Mer yon bowed his head upon his knees, and tremors shook his frame. Inarticulate gurglings came from the prince's lips. Drops of sweat formed beneath the rim of his turban nnd ran down Into his beard. This was u great day for him, never to be forgotten! "Anyone, less magnanimous and ehnr llable than I would have turned his back upon her and you forever," the artist went on presently. "Such an outrage, upon an unsuspecting guest can hardly be too severely resented. Hut compassion for Terah who wus really as much shocked as I was and friendship for you, led me to forbear. I caused word to be sent to her that, on certain conditions, I would try to over look the matter. And I nm now here, prince, to tell you what the conditions are." His highness, with eyes goggling on vacancy, stretched out his arms in front of him and rapidly closed and ex tended his fingers. It Is uncertain whether this Indicated that ho wished to catch hold of an elusive word, or of something more substantial. Klther way It was expressive. "What I require," said Meryon, with stern impresslveness, "Is your straight out apology; and to prove it's sincerity. It must 'take tho form of delivering up llntlpha Into my hands, to he annihi lated as I see fit.: Having thus deliv ered himself, Meryon took another ci garette from his case, signed to the Nu bian for a light, and added composed ly: "I have Bpoken!" The spell upon his hlgness was broken. A confused roar proceeded from him, which perhaps set out to be a sort of laugh, but went on like tho cry of the tiger thirsting for meat. lie clapped his hands against his thighs, kicked off both his slippers (which the Nubian of the fan impassively restored to him, receiving In acknowledgment a violent kick in the stomach!, and be trayed other symptoms of strong feel ing. Gradually the waves of emotion became less agitated, und allowed him to employ human methods of speech. "Meryon Pacha," he wild, "I have been indignant. I heard reports of you which made me wisli to kill you. You have spoken, and made things look dlf- v. "Oh, Well. I Hou't Cure if I l." ferent. I nm more Indignant than be fore, and somebody must be killed, but I am willing it should not be you. You have spoken or llatipha; It shall be! I will discipline him. I will draw oft his hide In strips an Inch wide. I will born out bis eyes with hot needles. I will tear out hlH tongue, nnd cut oft his hands and feet. I will nil) his carcass with red pepper and sirup, Impale him upon a stake ten feet long, and Set hint In the public siuare for the llles to cat. Yea, by the beard of the prophet, ho shall be taught etiquette!" Meryon mused nnd shook his head. "The punishment Is loo light," he final ly said. "Ordinarily, I might be satis lied wllh it, for I nm more forgiving anil tender-hearted than a woman. ,l:ut this dog's offense demands some renlly adequate penalty. I think I must have him boxed up and sent to New York to be naturalized and run for mnyor on his record. It Is necessary, too, thnt my honor Is vindicated. I will think It liver. In the meantime let him be shadowed." "Is the penalty you made a Very ter rible one?'' nsked the prince. Meryon smiled wearily, "Merely to read the account of It In the newspa pers Is punishment enough for most crimes," he replied. "I hate to Inflict It; but mercv Is one tlilnir. wen It 1ml Llo sin, such as your proposition would amount 10, is anoiner. Atltl rroin tho reputation of the woman I marry every shadow of a stain must be removed." "As to thut," said the prince, whose natural suavity was returning, "though I suppose what you say of yourself and your nation Is true, still I could easily very easily have your head cut off, and Bay to your people (when they came to ask) that you had been killed by somebody else. Hilt I, too, am tender-hearted, and what you say about the princess Is certainly true, for llatipha himself told me so ami other things! Ho I should like to havo you for a son-in-law, especially If It would benefit my kingdom, But how would It benefit It ?" Well, looking at It strictly as a financial meusure, I should say It would benefit you about a lao of rupees' worth a year, very likely more what with the Summer visitors, the boom In trade nnd the new openings for un married ladles." After a pause he added: "Uut, mind you, I haven't yet promised I'll take her. My system got a bail shock that day, and I may never get over it." The prince was silent for a long time, doing more thinking than was per haps good either for him or Meryon. At last he said: "Allah Is great. Man. knows little, and sometimes lies. Your words, Mer yon Pacha, may be truth or not. You wish to live; you also wish, I think, to marry my daughter; but whether you desire the good of my kingdom Is us yet hidden from me. Hut there is a way. if you choose, to prove it." "Yes."' returned Meryon, 'In an In different tone. "Yes. This morning I have news that the prince, my nearest neighbor, is going to make war on me. 1 am un prepared nnd need help. Beyond the country of my enemy lies another king dom, whose king Is my ally. If a mes senger from me could reach him in three days from now I should be safe. Hut If I send one of my own subjects he would be stopped and slain, for his speech and features would betray him. But you, Meryon Pucha. could go In safety, for there is no war with your country, nnd since you are a sovereign, as you say, and able to destroy all who Injure you, you have nothing to four. I will give you a message to my ally which will tell him that you nro my friend and are to be my son-ln-luw. and that my kingdom Is in danger. Now, Meryon Pacha, will you do this thing to win the princess and save the king dom'."' The American reflect oil a moment. The prince was Ingeniously beating 111 m with his own stick, so to Bay. The threat of war was probably a fact; but the secret embassy was devised as a means of getting rid of him without seeming to do so. On the other hand ho could not, nfter his late magnilo quence, decline to do his future father-in-law so ostensibly facile a service. There wan but one weak point In his highness' argument. He put his linger on that. "The letter which I nm to take to your ally will make mo known nlso to your enemy, If he searches me. He would trout mo as a spy and 1 should have no ground of complaint." The prince smiled an oriental smile. "You are prudent nnd far-seeing, Mer yon Piichii," said he. "Hut It I protect you from this peril, will you accept the adventure V" "Oh, well, I don't rare If I do," re- Vlled the other, twisting his rod mus- taehlos. He already had a glimpse of an expedient for making the affair serve his own purposes. "It Is well," said his highness, "no turn to me at sunset today and I will give you the final directions." "All light," returned Meryon, brief ly, and the Interview ended.
