TO M MfW 'tVp TJHK-1- , j3 .tfTVJfr- THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1809. I PLAYED FOR HIS LIFE. I Sultan Murad wai devoted to tho game of chesw. To say, without flat tery, that he was n pood player Is to Bay that ho was a man of consldciablo intellectual power. Hut Sultan Murad in his iila had two fallings He liked to have nn ndeqwito Htnlte on the event of the game, and he could very 111 brook defeat. These weaknesses are always trying, but In the case of ho powerful and ab solute a monarch they rendered the gnme one of xceeding danger. To luu pretty constantly meant mln; to win too often might easily mean death. I'nder these circumstances It besame difficult for his malesty to find nn nd versaiy, and nn Invitation to a con tnst came to have as fatal ti signifi cance and to be as much dreaded, and bounty of thy majesty shall I and Tat lmn, my daughter nnd only child, find bread or shelter, so great Is tho klll of your majesty at this Infernal game." "Pome, vuinr," said Murad, "If It bo so bad with thee as that I will tell thee what thou shalt do Thou shalt on thy part staled thy daughter, and I on my part will stake the loveliest odalisque In my harem, and ten thousand gold pieces to boot, and wo will play yet another game." The grand lsler heard this proposal to stake his daughter, his only child, with dismay; but he knew his Imperial master too well to venture a lefusal Therefore they played, and ho lost. Then the unhappy father, In the bitter ness of his heart, said: "Oh, sultan, I ; have my head only, nnd that Is at thv if possible, avoided, us tho post of . mercy, but if thou wilt on thy part grand vizier had been in the reign of Sellm the Giim. So many had lost all they posfcesbtd, and some their lives In to the bargain, that every high officer of state shunned us far as possible tho dangerous honor of lacing his master ucross a ehess board. Naturally, no official could with more difficulty es cape the ordeal than the giand vlzler himself, and, Indeed. It was owing prin cipally to this cuu'-o that so many oc cupants of this high post had rapidly succeeded one another during the reign of Sultan Murad. It so happened that the present grand vlrler was as keen an enthusiast for the game as the sultan himself. This had been probably his chief 10c ommendatlon for the office, and being a born gambler and of a constitution ally bold and reckless nature, be was always ready to play, counting neither the cost nor the hazard He played on with xarylng fortune, but generally losing, until he bad staked and lost everything he possessed or could scrape together. At length, one afternoon, on the sul tan saying to him, "Well, grand vizier, and what dost thou venture on this new game''" he answered ruefully: ".My Padishah, except the garments in whtch I stand before thee, nnd which nte thine alrendv, there Is of a, tiuth no one thing I possessed that 1 havo not staked and lobt, and only by tho stake my daughter, whom thou bast Just won, I vill wager m head against her." "Vizier," naid Murad gravely, "the staker are hardly even, but 1C thou wlshest lt-so It shall be" And once more they placed and again the lzler lost. Then Murad laughed nnd said: "He not alarmed, I give thee thy last stake, for thou has never flinched, but has ever plaed "boldly and well; only this understand, we have played our last game, nnd thou holdest thv office only until I appoint another In thv pi ice." After this final defeat of his courage ous and indomitable grand lzler, Murad was haid rut to It to find any suitable opponent to face him at tho chess board. All men shirked the dan gerous honor, nnd the unhappy vizier or pacha commanded to undeitake the perilous duty found It difficult to guess whether victory or defeat might prove more perilous. At length the sultan bethought him of a plan which seemed to pionilse more diversion than could be obtained fiom encounteilng these timorous and unwilling adversailcs He caus(d it to bo proclaimed that any man might challenge his mnjesty to a game of chess, the conditions being thnt the challenger staked his own head against the olllcc of giand vl.ler. At tho time of issuing the proclama tion thero lived In Adrlanoplo a family consisting of threo persons father, mother and one son. The latter was a young man of pleasing manners, a good presence nnd of remarkable energy and Intellectual capacity. The news of tho rultun's offer had reached this retired and 'secluded fam ily, and the son, whoso name was Os man, and who hnd long been a devoted student of tho game, had Just an nounced to his futher and mother his determination to proceed to tho capital and put his life on the hazard of the event. To this both father and mother vehe mently nnd very naturally objected and tried by ccry argument they could think of to dlssaude him; but tho young man would not be galnsnld, and at length he set out on his dangerous ndventute. When Osman was ushered Into the presence of the sultan and the object of his coming explained, Murld him self felt some regret that so handsome and intelligent a youth should risk his Ufo In a combat apparently so un equul. Hut first, by the mder of the sultan, a sumptuous repast was served, and at hi1 Invitation Daman partook of It with him. Then, after a period of rest during the mid-day hent, the chessmen wore brought out, and amid a circle of high dignitaries nnd officials of tho palace, the youthful stranger faced his Imperial lord and essayed the difficult, and, ns It appeared to all pre sent, the foolhardy task of checkmating him. Only five moves had been made dur ing the breathless silence, when Osman calmly pionounced tho word "check mate," nnd on inspection the fact was clearly established All were astonished. And the sultan, amized nnd almost stuplfled, was filled with fuiy. "What!" cried he, "beaten and In five moves, by a mere bo;, ! What Is tho meaning of this? Siy, what de mon hath helped thee, or by what pow er of enchantment has thou been able to accomplish the feaf" "Sire," cried osman, "this opening of the game is a new one. Helng com petely unexpected, It has glen me, for this time, the victor, which 1 can nev er hope to again attain over so great ana experienced a player as your ma jesty." Tlie.se words somewhat mollified the sultan, and after having sat silent for a few minutes, his wiath being paitly appeased, he said "liy whatever means the victory ha been gained, In contestable It has been won, and since thou must have paid thy forfeit hail thnu lost, Allah foibld that thou shouldst fall to receive the teward that I have promised." Now Li es in Ruins A Ho thereupon commanded that Os man should bo arrayed in the gorgeous robes of tho offlcei and summoning all the officers and high dlgnll'aries of tho scrngllo to the hall of tho throne, ho piesented Osmnn to them as giand vlzler. Then, us ho dismissed him, ho wild, significantly: "Grand vlrler, to morrow we will play again." In the evening Osmnn sat In the of ficial palace of the grand vlzler, and the Itcls Effendl, nn old friend of his father, by his Invitation sat at meat with him, and they discussed what had pissed and what was to be apprehended. "Osman," said the Itels Hffendl,"thon hast played a bold game and won It; yet I know too well the charncter nnd disposition of Murad to be able sin cerely to congratulate thee. Today thou art victorious and grand vbler, tomorrow thou mayest only too prob ably be defeated, and slain." "Hols Effendl," answered Osman, each must jleld to fate but for my pait, I have no intention of playing a game against the sultan tomorrow." "Thou hast no Intention I" cried the Rcls nffendl, in amazement, "Nuv, but he has the Intention to coinmnnd then to do so, and art thou so simple as to suppose that thou hust power to re fuse?" "I am hardly so country bred as to suppose that," sold Osman; "neverthe less, I venture to hope that I may be able eo to order things thnt Murad shill not demand a gume again to-morrrovv'" And how Is that to be accomplish ed?" demnnded the Rels Hftendl. "What dark scheme Is this thou hast in hand?" "At present I have no scheme com pleted," said Osman, "but only the out line or Idea of the tactics which must be restored to. Mv ulm must be to get some affair of such utgency nnd Im portance before Mutnd tomorrow morning that he will have neither tho leisure nor the Inclination for rhess plavlng or any other form of amuse ment. In the concerns of so gieat an empire" Hefoie Osman could complete the sentence nn attendant entered and an nounced thnt an old man was waiting without who desired earnestly an in terview with the grind vlzler. "It Is late," ald Osman. "but If he be an obi man, doubtless he must have nn adequate icason for coming at this hour Let him enter " When the applicant enteied tho apaitment what was Osman's aston ishment to behold In him no other than his own father fter having been warmly welcomed bv both Osman and the Hels Effendl the old man was piessed to sty how it came to pass that he had undertaken so long a Jour ney 'My son," he replied, "after the de pal tut e neither th.v mother nor. sooth to say, mjself could control the anx iety and appiehenslon we suffered on thine account Therefore, having sold the ring the last remaining valuable In our possession lu order to provide the small fund necessary for my jour ney, I followed thee to learn the result of thy lash attempt Happily, it ap pears that thou hast won and not lost the game, yet whether thou ait not still in Imminent pel 11 is much to bo doubted " "That thv son Is even now In extreme peril of his life there can be no ques tion," said the Hels Effendl "Tonioi iow he must again play, unless, Indeed, he can manage to dlveit the sultan's attention nnd alter his declared Inten tion. But In what way such a diver sion Is to be accomplished I cannot Imagine."

Two Doors Below Samter Bros. took the Journey hither, for I have biought Intelligence which may now stand us in good stead On my way I learned by accident of a eonspiiacy that appeals to be hatching in Kou inalia, the oarly knowledge of whlih may prove of gieat value to the sultan and his advisoi! " "Thou ait indeed fortunate," said the Iteis Effendl, "to be lu uossession of th.it information His majistv will doubtless be alarmed and his attention engiossed by the details of sueh a pro Jec t " When, net moining, Oman In bis capacity as giand vizlei, was closeted with Muiad, he hastened to imp ut to him the Intelligent he had received concerning the projected rising and the design of the rebels to march upon the capital. On haiing of this account. Muiad, heied with Panic, talked of raising a l.nge army and at once matching upon tho disaffected ptovhue Osman, however, said calmly "If your majesty will penult me to espiess m opinion, I should s-ay It t no man know of this consplrucv, for even the mmor of Insurrection is apt to unsettle men's minds and .pread the infection of revolt Tho plan of the consplta tois at prehont Is &eciet; let Is never be declared; ciush It In the bud. At this stage a veiy binall forte will suf fice, oven as the beginning of a ilie, which neglected would waste a city, may be tiueiiihed with the contents cf a buoket Let your majesty take COO Janissaries with me, proceed with all speed to Adrlanople, and two houts af ter my ai rival the leadets of tho plot will be executed and the movement will be at an end." The sultan appiovcd this leasonlng nnd the advice given liim by his new grand vlzler, and bade him stmt at once on the mission he had proposed. Within an hour tho giand vizier, with his escort of 500 ment; left tho capital, Osman. as he paited with his friend, the Hels Effendl, obbmed sim ply: "The game of chess Is adjourned. The giand vlzler, on leaching Adiian ople pioeceded immediately to the house of tho governor of Roumalia and had him executed on tho spot Hav ing also put to death several of his cicutuies and olllcluls who had been guilty of the grossest tiinnny and ex tol t Ion and all those who had In any way been implicated in tho projected rising, he replaced, to the gieat Joy of all, his futher In his fount r position of governor of Itoumnlla nnd hastened back to report to his majesty that the province was now perfectly contented and loval, Tho sultan was delighted with the promptitude and energy of his new grand vlzler. Ho began ftom this time to rely on his Judgment and to tako his udvlco on eveiy occasion, and for a time Osman ruled tho empire with unquestioned authority and conspicu ous success. Murad often command ed of his grand vlzler at tho chess boaid, but the stakes to be played for were always fixed within the bounds of reason and moderation, and whether tho games weio lost 01 won and Os mnn was too piudent often to win the terrible claws of tt e Imperial tiger lemnlned sheathed in velvet. Ono afternoon ha took occasion on winning a game to address Osman as follows: "My good giand vlzler. I notice that In theho little friendly con tests of ours you seldom w In Now, I i like not to play with one who puts not out his full strength." With a mocking smile ho continued: "l'rob nbly tho stakes nro now too trivial to make It worth while for you to exert your full powers. This must bo reme died. I, on my part, will stnko ona of my daughters: you shall, If you win, have her to wife, nnd with her a dowry of two hundred purses of gold. And you on your side must, I suppose, piny for tho Htnke you plnycd for nt first, and then, jou remember, you won in five moves, and easily enough." "Your mnjesty," said Osman, who suvv at onco that the temper of the sultan had changed, nnd who enter tnlned no doubt but that his own fato was alteady determined upon, "what ever stakes you decree must, of coutse, be accepted, but this time I have no new gumblt to pit against your un rivaled and ever victorious skill." The sultan appreciated tho compli ment, but it did not cause him to niter his decision, The afternoon of the next dav was fixed ns the time appointed for the playing of this fateful game. During the Interval Osman pondered deeply on the best course to pursue In the predica ment in which he now found himself. He was In little doubt thnt even though ho should win this game, another equal ly momentous would follow, and thnt nothing could nvall to keep his head, on his shoulders It Murnd hnd, as ho shrewdly suspected, determined to get rid of him. Yet it was clear that, under these circumstances, to win would probably be loss Immediately fatal thnn to lose: it might for a short time de lay. If it could not avert, the end that seemed Inevitable Therefote. when ,on the following afternoon, the Giand Vlzler faced the sultan at the chess boaid each of these good players sat down determined to win If he possibly could manage it, They were not nlone. A lnige number of the great olllcers and high officials of the state and the palace sat vvntch Ing the game which might so suddenly tet initiate the bilef and brilliant career of one of the playeis Evety move was followed with the keenest interest. The game was fought with great skill and Indomitable patience b both con testants. It lasted long, and the chances of vlctoiy and defeat still held un even balance. It va4 the Giand Vlzlei's turn He moved his piece, when suddenly It Hashed upon him that the move was a mistaken one. Vli tually It sealed his fate Vnless the Sultan should by some extinordlnary obtuseness oveilook the oppoitunlty afforded him, tluee moves would at once tel initiate the game nnd cut short the life of Osman. He dared not ialse his eyes ftom the boaid, lest his glance should involmi taillv betray to the Sultan his con sciousness of the blundei he hnd com mitted. For .some time the whole assembly sat silent and motionless. The sultan made his dela " Was he gloating over the assurance of v Ictory and purposely prolonging the anxiety and apprehen sion of his victim or could it be pos sible that he had lenllv lulled to ob serve the oppoitunlty provided for him and was. f-tlll considering undecided his next move? The pause continued so long that Os man entitled at length to inlfee his eyes to his adveisary. Kather than suspense It would be preferable to know the worst. As he looked up a strange sight met his gue The Sultan sat with his head bent down; the afternoon was sultry and at the veiy crisis of the battle be bad fallen asleep' There was little doubt that when he woke the first glance must tevenl the opportunity that was presented to him. Meanwhile none dated to dlstuib him, and the unhappy Osmnn wis compelled to uwait, with as mm h patient c anil fortitude as he could command, the tragic and inevitable tesult. No man In that large assembly either spoke or stirred With calm, uniullled demeanor, truly Oilental, thev sat silent and watchful till the Sultan should awake and deign to continue the game which his sleep had so sudtlenlv Intel -rupted Silent e lelgned in the court without no less than within the hall it hclf. At length the call to piajei of the Muezzin on the mosque lesounded thiough the heavy alt 'Come to ia ( r, come to iraei God Is most great, God is most gieat Theie Is no God but God." Still the Sultan slept, and no one In that bejewelled ciowtl dared to dlstuib his Hluinbei At last nn incident that none could have foieseen oecuned to bleak the si lence. One of the soldiers stationed nt the door followed unconsciously the ex ample set him by his impeilal masaer and fell asleep, and suddenly his M'lml tei. lulling fioni his lelaxlng giasp, fell clanging on the innible steps. All looked up with amazement all except Muiad Then Osman !, and touched the Sultan lightly on the shoulder, and he fell forward with a clash umong the chessmen for he was dead, San Ftanclsco "Argonnut," JONAS LONG'S SONS.
