T'lln boweci nor head upon her |
lmmis; and could the instinctive ■
jiromptin.a of tfer heart at that mo- j
merit have been read, they would have i
revealed a secret not much to be won- i
deied at.
"1 think," said Ezabel, aft^r a pause, j
"that you have had some opportunity
to study Julian's character."
"1 have seou enough to assure me
that he is a noble, generous man,"
returned Ulin, raising her head.
"And," added Ezabel, "if you could
know him better you would And your
impressions strengthened. But he will
not be here lor.g. As soon as he re-
covers from his wound he will leave
us."
If I am not mistaken," ventured
our heroine, "Julian is at borne in this
jilHCe."
"Most certainly he is, my daughter.
From his earliest childhood he knew
no other home but this."
A'nd he was on his way hither
when he overtook me in the hands of
the Arabs "
"Yes."
"And will my presence cause him to
leave you?"
"1 think not, lady. But you will
give yourself no uneasiness on that ac-
count. if Julian feeis that he had bet-
ter be away from you, be will go for
his own sake. And, remember—the
H'lily noble soul finds joy in the gen-
erous sacrifices which it may be called
upon to make. 1 hear Ben Hadad's
voice, lie is calling me."
She arose and left the chamber; and
when she returned sue was followed by
Hen liadad. Now that Ulin saw the
hermit by the light of the day she was
awe-struck by his venerable appear-
ance All that could bef noble and
honorable and lovable in old age
uremed combined in him; and as he !
l ent his gaze upon her and extended |
his hand in welcome, she felt her heart j
jao to him with all its trust and confi-
dence.
"My child,"* he said In tones of ten-
der est solicitude, "Ezabel has told me
a our story and I have come to bid
.Mm an affectionate welcome to my
ca\e. Rest here and feel that you are
sit home. Your mother paid me for
this long ago. O .e—follow me to
v here the air is fresher, and where
the sunbeams can greet you."
The maiden thanked Ben Hadad as
we)! as she was able and then rose to
follow him. He led her to the main
tuve where she found Hobaddan and
'"teVes.
"^is to my home," said the old
man, us he led the maiden to a seat;
"and here have I lived more years than
go to iill up the allotted age of man.
All these trees and shrubs I have
trained up from the tender sprout, and
these vines I have taught to clothe
the gray old reeks. And I have been
most fortunate in my life. 1 have been
Hhlf to protect many who needed pro-
tection and my days have been length-
ened out to protect more."
Ulin wus touched by the deep pathos
■of the hermit's words, and for a whole
hour she sat and listened to his conver-
sion At the end of that time he led
her back to the cave where Ortok, the
black slave, had prepared dinner. She
riiti not feel hungry, but ti e sat down
with Ben Hadad and Hobadden and
Ezabel—she and Albia—-and partook
with tl.-em.
Thus passed three days; and TTlin
had become so used to the place that
it ii I ready seemed like home. She had
learned to love the hermit; and she
had learned to love Ezabel; and she
had learned to respect and esteem the
•tout-hearted Hobaddan and to con-
verse with him freely. Once she asked
the lieutenant what had become of
Julian's band. Would they not be
Keeking him?
And he explained to her that he had
'communicated with them—that they
knew" of their chieftain's safety and
had gone away into the mountains of
Lebanon, where comfortable abiding
places for them were plenty.
When Ulin retired to her own apart-
ment she sat by herself, with her head
bowed upon her hands, taking no no-
1icr of her se*vl rig-maid. At an early
hour she retired; but it was a long
tun- ere she slept; and when she did !
sleep she was troubled with strange
dreams. She dreamed of the unfortu- !
i nto Helena, and awoke with a cry I
of pain. Ami then she dreamed a more \
pleasant dream—a dream of something I
that had haunted her waking thoughts '

CHAPTER XVIII.
Something More Than a Dream.
t on the following morning, when
Tliri entered the main cave, Julian
!vhf there to greet her. She extended
;her hand to him and smiled as she
[Spoke. The youthfTit chieftain was
Somewhat pale, but his large, lustrous
«\ves burned with a dcened intensity
and the white brow offered a strange
contract to the waving mases of golden
h ir. The maiden's smile faded away
wh# n she met the earnest gaze that
wh.« fixed upon her, and her hand
trehlvd before she withdrew It. He
•poke to her a few words of cheef, ex-
pressed his gratitude that she had
found a place of safety; and hoped
that the future might have no more
clouds for her
"O, my mistress." cried Albia, when
ah* sod UU «*• *ioo«. "bow noble
a man b« t !"
~WMkai the princess, starting
mi from a «asf reverie.
"Julian, I mean." returned the maid,
quickly and with enthusiasm. "Does
he not look handsomer than ever?"
Llin bowed her bead and made no
reply. •
"Is he^ot beautiful to gaze upon?" ;
pursued Albia, without seeming to no- !
tice her lady's abstracted mood.
"Hush, Albia, say no more now. I
am busy with my own thoughts." !
"Pardon, sweet mistress. 1 meant ;
no wrong. I thought—we owed him
so much—and he has suffered in our
behalf—that you might—"
"Albia, say no more. I know you
meant well. You mistake me if you
think I am not grateful There—say
no more. I love you, and would not
hurt your feelings. (}o out into the
grove and walk awhile."
Ulin bowed her head again as she
spoke with her hand upon her brow—
upon her brow for a moment—and
then pressed upon her bosom. And
thus Albia left her.
When the freed girl reached the
grove in front of the cave she found
Julian and Osmir in close conversa-
tion and before they noticed her she j
had heard enough to excite her cu-
riosity; and with a freedom that was
natural to her, she asked them what
had happened.
"Osmir thinks," said Julian, with a
smile, "that one of the Arab robbers
has followed lis and tracked us to
this place; but I laugh at him."
"I may be mistaken," rejoined" the
other, "but still I think I am right.
I have seen the fellow twice; once by
the river at the entrance of the wood,
and once further away. It was one of
the rascals who escaped us."
"And If it Is the Arab, what can he
want?" asked Albia.
"If it be one of those fellows," re-
turned Julian, "ho may wish to join
our ranks."
"Oh," added Osmir, "he may hope to
steal something."
"Very likely," assented the chieftain.
"However," he concluded, after a brief
pause, "we may as well keep a sharp
lookout."
"Selim and I are on the watch." said
Osmir; "and if we catch the rascal,
we'll secure him."
Albia fancied that Julian had
thoughts which ho was not willing to
express in her presence, but she did
not mean to fret herself; and before
she rejoined her mistress she had al-
most forgotten the circumstances.
At noon, and again in the evening,
did Ulin meet Julian; but they did
not converse freely together. She
could not meet vtie-gaze of-those lus-
trous eyes without tremb.mg, and she
sought to avoid that which so much
moved her. If he had approached her
and spoken freely with her on some
subject of general interest she would
have joined him readily; but he did
not do so.
Morning came again, and again the
maiden met the man who had saved
her from the Arabs. This time he
greeted her in few words, and soon
turned away to speak with Hobaddan.
He did not seem well. He looked
paler than on the day before, and
there was an expression of pain about
the mouth and eyes. Ulin was uneasy.
Perhaps his wound was giving him
new trouble. As soon as the morn-
ing's meal had been eaten, she sought
Ezabel and asked her if Julian was
suffering from his wound.
"No," replied the old woman. "I
do not think it is his wound. I have
noticed his appearance and have asked
him what it meant; but he puts me
oft with a smile and a blessing and
tries to assure me that all is well. I
do not like to see him suffer. He Is
tike a child to me and I love him ten-
derly. Ah, the world little knows
what a noole, generous soul dwells
within that manly form."
"If I thought he was suffering from
m;' account," said Ulin, "I should be
most unhappy."
"How on your account?" Baid Eza-
bel. quickly.
"I mean in consequence of the wound
he received while fighting for my de-
liverance."
"I hardly think it is that.. Some-
thing beside the wound troubles him.
It may be that the short captivity in
Damascus worries him. He may have
heard something there that gives him
unpleasant thought."
At noon Julian did not appear when
the rest ate their dinner. He was out
by the river. Late in the afternoon
Ulin met Ezabel again and the latter
seemed sad and dejected.
"Julian is going co leave us," ex-
claimed the woman, in answer to an
Inquiry from Ulin.
"Leave us!" repeated our heroine,
with a start.
"Yes; so he told me only an hour
since."
"When will he go?"
"Early In the morning."
"But he will shortly return?"
"I fear not. I asked him that and
he only shook his head."
"Does he give any reason for his
going away?"
"None that you need to know, my
child. Iu fact, he gives me no reason
directly. I am left to draw my conclu-
sions from accidental remarks."
When Ulin retired to her chamber
she was In a frame of mind not eas-
ily analyzed. She spoke to Albia con-
cerning the chieftain's unexpected de-
parture and the girl expressed the
opinion that be fait himself to be in
the way.
*W>«\t do jrou mean by that?" asked j
"Well," replied Albia, "I t.h!nlc Jul*
lan fee s that there are enough dwell-
ers in the hermit's cave without him.
I may be mistaken; but his manner,
for a day or two past, has seemed to
indicate that he was not perfectly at
ease here."
Tho princess asked no more ques-
tions, but busied herself w.ili her own
thoughts.
As the sun was sinking from its
daily course, Ulin wandered out into
tho grove alone, and as she approached
the spot where she sometimes sat with
the hermit, she saw Julian, seated
upon a bench beneath an orange tree.
At first she thought of turning back,
and retracing her steps; but an im-
pulse which was no result of her will,
but rather an instinctive emotion, as
though some secret force, led her on;
and almost before she was aware of it
she came so near that the youth
heard her stop and looked up. He
started when he saw her and a flash
of joy, like a quick passage of sun-
light, was upon his face. In a moment,
however, tho look was gone, and a
shade of sadness succeeded. The
maiden could not now have withdrawn
even had she been so disposed in the
first place. Following the strong im-
pulse, she auvanced to the shadow
of the orange tree and p'aced her hand
upon Julian's shoulder; and it thrilled
the youth like an electric shock.
"Kind sir," she said, scarcely able
to speak above a whisper when she
commenced, "Ezabel tells me you are
going away."
"Yes, lady," Julian replied, rising
as he spoke; "I have so determined."
"And you go soon?"
"In the morning."
"This is sudden, sir."
"No, lady; no more so than my
movements are apt to be."
CHAPTER XIX.
Ulin and Julian.
Ulin hesitated and trembled, and
finally sat down upon the bench from
which the chieftain had arisen. In a
few moments she had recovered her-
self so that she could speak without
faltering.
"Good sir, I have one question to ask
you." She went on hurriedly, as
though the old impulse still led her;
"You had not planned to leave the
cave so soon?"
"I had planned nothing about it,
iady."
"But—If I had not been here, with
my servant, you would have remained
longer?"
"Lady, do not ask me such ques-
tions."
"I must ask them, sir, for I want
to know. If I thought that my pres-
ence here had caused you to leave
your old home, I should be most un-
happy. When I came here I did not
know how near and dear this place
was to you. If one of us must go,
let me find some other resting place."
Julian started and trembled like an
aspen. A moment it-was so, and then
he turned upon the maiden a look so
earnest and so deep and so full of
tumultuous feeling, that she shook be-
neath it
"Lady," he said, speaking almost In
a whisper, "you shall know the se-
cret which I had purposed never to
reveal to mortal being. The words
are forced from me. Let me speak
them now; and then let them be for-
gotten. When I heard that the king
of Damascus had shut up a fair maid-
en within the Palace of Lycanlus, and
that he meant to make that maiden
his wife, I felt my heart grow sick
within me and I resolved, if the fair
one was held against her will, that I
would set her free. I led my brave
men to the palace and overcame the
guard which the king had set. Heaven
was opened, but in the blessed realm
I was offered no abiding place. I saw
the loved spirit of light within the
cave which had been the home of my
childhood; but my love I dared not
speak. How could I, the enemy of
Damascus, and the branded robber,
tell my love to the daughter of the
king's prime minister. Lady, I dare
not trouble you more."

NOTE IS A FAILURE
Ulin.
THE INDISPENSABLE MAN.
I*rad«nt IluninenN Men Now Get Kid of
That l*ompo lty.
Some of the most successful busi-
ness men in this country mako it a
rule to dispense with the services of
any man in their employ, no matter
how important his position may be.
as soon as he comes to regard himself
as "indispensable," says Success. This
may seem harsh and even unbusiness-
like; but, if we look into it, we shall
find that there is wisdom in this prac-
tice. Experience proves that, the mo-
ment a man looks upon himself as ab-
solutely necessary, he usually ceases
to exercise to the fullest extent, the
faculties which have helped him to
rise to that indispensable point. He
becomes arrogant and dictatorial, and
his influence in an organization is
bound to be more or less demoraliz-
ing. Many concerns have been seri-
ously embarrassed by the conduct of
managers, superintendents, or heads
of departments, after they had reached
positions where they thought no one
else could take their places. This
undue appreciation of one's own Im-
portance is as disastrous In Its re-
sults as utter lack of self-esteem. It
is really evidence of a narrow mind,
and ignorance of general conditions;'
for the man who is up to the times,
thoroughly posted in regard to the
world-wide trend of the twentieth
century, will realize that there are few
people In the world do matter what
their talents or ability, who cannot
be replaced. It Is a very rare charac-
ter; indeed, that is imperatively nec-
essary. and the man who actually
reaches this point does not brag of it.
nor act as If he considered bimaelf
"indispensable."
HAY'S EFFORT IN BEHALF OF
ROUMANIAN JEWS CRITICIZED.
ITS W EARN ESS DEPLORED.
Leading Rabbi Discussed Its Humani-
tarian Ciiortcomir.gs—Three
Months Have Passed.
Philadelphia, November / 0.—Rabbi
Joseph Rrauskopf, D. I)., of the Reform
Congregational Keneseth Israel, a load-
in Hebrew of this city and one of the
best known Hebrew clergymen In the
Kast, today delivered a sermon, en-
titled "Secretary Hay and the Rouman-
ian Jew," in which he criticized tho
note sent by the secretary to the Euro-
pean powers on the question of the
Roumanian Jews. Dr. Krauskopf said
three months have passed since tho
note was issued, aud the results that
wore anticipated have not yet come
to pass.
Continuing, be said;
"My want of faith in the process of
laudable and well-intentioned effort on
the part of our honored secretary of
state was based on the note itself. The
larger part of the note, which 1 call t'.ie
'selt-protective,' 1 felt from the out-
start invited failure and disappoint-
ment for the Roumanian Jews."
The secietary, he said, would have
written the name oi the United States
immortal on the history of mankind
and he invited the Jewish refugees
to this country and had he turned to
Christian ltoumaiiia entreated
them to put an end to the persecutions.
"Had the records been spoken," he
said, "it,would have shown our inter-
est to be one of humauity and not of
self.
"It is the self-protective spirit of
the Hay note that impairs it. It is
this that explains why little or no
notice has been taken of It by the gov-
ernments concerned. Not only tho
humanitarian obligations of a great
aud strong nation to a wronged and
unprotected .people, but also precedent
w(j*ild also amply justify Secretary
Hay bidding in the name of the
United States a halt to ltouman-
da's outrages against its Jews. When
Russia could enter into war with Tur-
key because of the latter's persecu-
tion of Christians, when nearly all of
the great Christian nations could en-
gage in war with China because of
wrongs to Christian missionaries, wbeu
the United States could sacrifice thous-
ands of lives and millions of dollars
in the liberation of the Catholic Cu-
bans from Spanish misrule, none should
say that Christian nations have not
the right or the power to emancipate
250,OwO Jewish souls In a little depend-
ency of some 20,000 spuare miles and
some 5,0(KJJ^)0 inhabitants."

TRAIN'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Attempt Made to Wreck International
Flyer.
Austin, Texas, November 10.—A bold
Attempt was made to wreck and rob
the south bound International and
Great Northern train ten miles from
here. ;
This train i« due here at 5:30 o'clock
was two hours late, and In order to
make time was going at a high rate
of speed and when near Hopper the
engine struck a hugh rock which had
been placed on the track. The pilot
of the engine was badly demolished.
The air brakes were quickly applied
and the engine brought to a standstill
just in time to avoid crashing into a
huge pile of cross ties which had also
been placed on the track.
Just an tho train stopped a man
whose actions had been suspicious
was seen to jump off the train and dis-
appear and he could not be found.
There were several official* of tke
International on the train and tbey de-
clare that it must have been the
through train due here at 9 o'clock
which the robbers were after, as the
train wrecked is a local and does not
carry any express car.
Tho robbers evidently did not know
that the local was- two hours late.
Officers were detailed from here to
•make an Investigation. The passen-
gers were badly scared. The through
train usually carries a large amouut
of money.
/he railroad people have been ex-
pecting a hold-up for several weeks
now owing to the fact that a great
deal of gold is being shipped to and
from Mexico, and they have taken the
precaution of having an armed guard
go out and return on every through
train operating through the da.ni eroua
countiy of tho north of this city.
