THE OLD CLOCK?
BY V LO BETTE N. DUNHAM.
Tho old dook stands on tho mantol picco,
Quaint, and dusty, and grim,
Its hands still uicssuro tho passage of time,
Though its taco is faded and dim.
It1 hoard tho fust wail of tho infant wlio
came
jj To a new and untried land,
It gsily looked down at tho wedding feast,
When a new ono was joined to our band.
It measured tho hours whoo wo stood by
the Bide
Of tho bcd whore a dying ono laid,
It tioked out tho moments, all liogeviug
and slow,
When tho gravo on tho hillsido wc made.
Aud when to tho South lund another one
wont,
Tho olock tioked a solemn good byo,
As bo st rodo from our presence, so fearless
and bravo,
Could wo dream ho but left us to dio.
It stood just tho same when ho carno baok
again,
With our flag for a funeral shcot,
And it whispered a measure of rhythm and
rhyme,
Solemn, and tuneful, and sweot,
"Tick, tiokl ho hus como, but ho is not
here:
Tick, tiokl he is far sway;
And tho feet that have trodden theso well
known paths
In glory aio walking to-day."
Did it whisper those words, that faded old
clock?
So ancient, so tried, sud so true;
Did it tick th OHO words of hopo and of com
fort to us,
As they boro him away from our view?
So like an old fricud seems its faco to mc,
As it steadily measures tho time,
With the to and fro swing of its unceasing
tongue,
And its riuging melodious chime,

THE D'^V.CTiVE.
?-?-?
BY TONY PAS TOR.
-eooOzw
Tom Jolnkei, who had taken command of |
tho party sinco tho absence of tho detective,
stated that since the disappearanoo of their
friends, they hud been soouriog tho plains
in rivery direction in search of them; and
that while net ino; ??s scout on his own book,
lib had discovered tho band who held tho
tho detective prisoner, and had arranged to
surprise them and rcscuo him iu thc man
nor in which the rcscuo had been made.
Tho Turco-European led tho party to a
piuco where they found a spring whereat to
quench their thirst; a meal ulso was pro
vided, and tho whole party set in motion to
go toward tho ruins to hud their still mis
sing companion. In tho meantime Frank
Mtdgoly was enjoying a number of startling
adventures on his own occount. At t!iO
time thc defectivo had loft him, ho had
waited for him to return, anticipating that
nt most h?3 friend would not bo gouo moro
than half an hour. Tho half hour passed,
nnd tho hours also, and tho detective was
still absent. The young man at length
conclude 1 to go in search of his friend, but
before doing so cast about for a good j lace
to picket tho horses. In bunting around
ko caine to an archway, and loading the twj
animals forward he was walking along wi en
Ho thought lie heard thc sound of rippling
Willer*. Ho was not deceived. Ho soon
discovered a spring of water. Thc two
horses wcro lcd to drink, and tho youth
gladly quenched his owu thirst. Subse
quently bc picketed tho two animals and
?taited to look for his friend. Ho contin
ued tho search until near nightfall, when,
just as bc wis about to givo up in despair,
ho discovered tho ontrance to thc same pas
sage way which tho dctectivo had entered.
Knowing his friend's investigating propen
sities, our hero conoludcd ot once that Wal
ton Spraguo Iud entered thc passogo way
and had most likely lost his way. jMakiug
up his mind to bc careful, sud guard his
retreat, Frank entered. Ho bad proceeded
but a short distance when ho fancied ho
koaid steps. He was just upon the point
of shouting, when he heard voices, and upon
turning saw that n number of mon wcro
tramping behind him. At tho samo mo
ment, ns ho wont feeling along, ho disco
vered a lateral passage, and to escape the
party coming in his rear, he turned aside.
1J oro he lay crouched until tho party passed.
When their footsteps had died away ho
carno out again into thc main passage, and
considered what he should do. Ho resolved
to follow in tho samo direction taken by tho
mon, determined to bo near and assist his
friend, and in oaso of being unablo to rescue
him, at least to dio with him. Moving
nlong cautiously, ho actually proocedod to
tho entrance of tho robber den, und from n
selected hiding plnco surveyed them. He
saw nothing of his friend, and concluded
that Walton Sprnguc, nfter all, had nH
entered tho ruins. Good judgment sug
gested that lie should bent n retreat, but
when ho gained thc entronco leading into
tho passage, he found it guarded by tho
Dodouins.
CIIAPTKIl XXXIX
FRANK MIDO ELY GETS INTO AN ODD
SCRAPE.
Tho party whom Frank Midgcly found
nt tho entrance of tho passage wcro tho samo
who hod been left in ohargo of tho homes
nnd traveling pa:'apharnulia of thc robber
ohief. Did he not fear endangering tho
lifo of his fried, ho would havo taken tho
chances of running tho gauntlet of these
mon; but, ns it was, ho decided to adopta
moro cautious plan. Tho result was that,
Hko tho detective, ho b reamo lost amidst tl' .
subterranean passa goa of thc ruins. Fortu
nately ho bad had food and drink, and did
not immediately .- uffor for the wunt of them
After wnndcringturound for ?orno time, he
bociuno wciu?ed/ond sat down amidst thc
darkness torostlnnd think over his olianccs.
Ho soon foll aslocp, nod, being greatly ex
haunted, profoundly ?lu m bei od for a numboi
>f hours. Whun ho finally awoke, Ul
eenicd to him fi though it wcrofltill oiglJ, j
and bo believed that ho hod oh!y slept for a
few moments. Keeling considerably rested,
ho resumed his gropings about to find eomo
modo of egress. Ho wus resolved to toko
all ohanoos to got out into tho opon air,
oven if the entrance should be guarded by a
huud.ed lied mi us. After wandoring
around for a long time, ho saw a streak of
light, oud ut oueo ho modo for it. As ho
drew nearer, ho recognized tho foot that it
was really sunlight. Ho was amazed, os ho
did not think ho had been wandering
through tho ruins for moro than two hours
ot tho most. As luck would h o vu it, ho
emerged by another passogo out into tho
satoo oourtyard io which tho doteotivo had
first oaught o glimpso ot tho female figure.
Ho w..s preceding to oross tho ruins of
what lind ouoo been a magnificent court
Glied with'fountains and statutes, wheu ho
was suddenly confronted by two dark faced
tierce looking men. Tho two Bedouins
louped toward tho young New Yorker, to
seize him, when the lattor sp.'aog beck, and
drawiog his pistol, leveled it, and brought
both tho fellows to a sudden halt. It was
not necessary for him to order thom to eta nd
off, as tho lo voled pistol wua sign
language which they perfectly underwood.
Tho two Arabs made numerous signs, aod
bluitedouta lot of gibberish, which woa ell
Hebrew to our careless young hero. Uu
slinging his repeating carbine, Frank cluck
his revolvers in his holster boit, and thea,
by very mgniiiesnt motions intimated (otho
two bowi'dcred Bedouins that ho wonted
thom (o ?ctreaf. Tho mea obeyed, but,
after moving for a short d;s! anco, both sud
denly turned nod fled out of eight, with tho
quickness of a cat scaling a fcucc. Thc
follows disappeared through a pnssngo,
which opened from tho court, on tho oppo
site side. Our hmo started io follow them,
but proceeded slowly, lest he might run into
somo trap, it wns well that ho did, as iu
a fow seconds haifa dozen of tho Bedouins
carno huvrying through tho passogo exit,
and tv co of thom wcto armed with long
rifles. Flank knew that a fight wus about
tu oommeuco, unless he voted to surrender,
and thc bitter ho h:.d no impution of doing.
Tho two Arabs raised their rifles, but bcfo.c
they could ino, thc young New* Yorker had
dodged behind a crumbling monument.
Ono bullet, nowevo", whistled over his head
just as he dodged down. It ?rs his turn,
and, leveling his carbine over tho too of his
buiricr, ho let diivo, bang! bang) bang!
three shots in quick succession. None of
h's discharges proved cfieoiivc, beyond
driving tho Arabs bock pell mell in' tho
passage woy, out of range. Tho Bedouins,
liko all plundering race?, ell?i >u*?h possessed
of a certain amount of b?u?e oui ?go, aro
deficient in real bravery. They will make
a fierce onslaught, with yells and shouts, like
a band of whooping indians, and nie es
easily squelched and driven b.iok in wild
panic. Tim moment the Bel.mina beat a
retreat, Frank concluded that, us they had
i un one way it would bo a wiso thing for
him to run tho olhcr, as ho had no rein
fo.ccmen?s to full back on, while, his st.ungo
foes might, in a few moments, number hun
dreds. Bcforo moving, ho took toe pro
caution to reload his curb'tic, and tuen
commenced mobing from one place of con
cealment to anchor, until he t' ?und himself
opposite to ibo entrance to another pnssngo
under tho ruins. For tho information ol
our readers, and to explain incidents that
may seem strange, wc wilt si ate that it is
not nu unusual tl ing in Sy>ia to lind thc
ruins of single buildings, or rather n su?.ccs
sion of buildings whie!: t>t Sumo ?me, wcic
connecte?!, core; ing acres of ground.
Frank knew that in thc ?luiI;ness > I some of
thc passages, with his supe,'? ,r weapons, he
would be n match for d ?ci s of his foes.
Ho dodged into -''C p.-ssrge opi e sito to
whio!i !.o found himself no?, ptoeceded
along u'ltil bc came !o Mic veiy same cur
tain which 1 c detective had rudely pulled
aside s ?uro l ours previously. I'\nnk was of
a curious turo of mind as well as his fi ?cud,
and he, too, pulled the curte in aside, and,
like his f.icnd, was pmazed upon bc! olding
such a bewildering sight. Unlike his
friend, however, ho did not retreat, but. on
the contrary, stepped boldly into tho npnit
ment. I lc calculated that there must bc
some near passage leading out from thc
ruins, and os his life was threatened, it wes
not a moment to stand on nice points of
etiquette. As ho first stepped Into thc
lavishly furnished noto, tho fifteen or
twenty lovely women wcro too greatly terri
fied to scream; but in a moment they rc
covered their voices, and set up a shrill
screeching that made our astonished hero's
ears tinglo. Ile commenced to gesticulate
nod in good Boglish bogged of these K?steln
houris, whose secret apartment lind 'hus rude
ly been invaded, to stop screaming and listen
to what ho had to say. In thc excitement
and oonfusion of thc moment ho forgot that
his words fell upon ears ?hat did not under
stand him. Ile nd va need rtraight to tho
center of tho room, and made an effort to
seize hold ot'one of tho beauties, when ot
once a great scampering occurred, somo of
tho dainty beauties in their wild nlnrm
tumbling and scrambling over each other
liko so many startled lambs. In a few
ceeonds they had all (lcd, and Frank found
himself alono in this home of rude lOnstem
loveliness. As our readers will remember
our hero was a remarkable handsome youth
oud thc picturesque attire in which ho was
robed dio not detract at nil from his appear
once, but rather enhanced his exceedingly
elegant looks.
"By ginger!" exclaimed poor Frank who
had entered thc strange apartment with thc
most innoocnt purposes, "this is ccrtcinly n
high old situation!"
Ho did not have muoh time to spore,
however, in thinking over thc peculiarity ol
tho inoident. At ony moment n hundred
fierce avengers might rnsh in upon him and,
wlia'cvcr mc roy ho might have looked for pro
viously, was forcgono now. Ile commenced
to skirmish around for somo mode of egress
other than tho one by which ho hod entered
that hall of enchantment. No passage
leading from tho apartment picsented itself.
Ovorhcud wos a sort of wickered dome,
lined on tho inner sido with somo sort of
colored doth, from which light descended
into tho room; but thcro wos no pnssago that
ho could discover, cavo tho ono by which ho
had entered, and through which tho terri
find oooup3nt3 of tho room had escaped.
The \outh could not leave by that way ns ho
would ni09t likely bo mot by a bundi cd as
sassins. Ho still hoped to find somo
modo of getting out, when very startling
and nt the samo timo ludicrous accident be
fell him.
. OH APTER XL.
A STRANGE ADVENTURE IN A HA HEM.
His eyes were- roving round iu search of
tho oovotod psasugo, and ot tho sn wo limo
ho kopt moving round, when suddenly ho
stumbled against aud foll over a divan. He
wus grouted by a scream und availed woman
leaped to her feet and confronted him. Sho
was ono of tho women who had cowered
behind tho divou for ooucealoiont. Frank
know of no way to convinco her that ho
meant her no injury than to ussumo a bo
seeching attitude, consequently he dropped
upon his knees and put up bis bands iu thc
most pleading and distressful manner.
"How,came you boro?" carno tho ques
tion iu a voico of exquisito sweetness.
Tho query was put in Frenchy ond
with a cry of delight Frank answerod:
"I become lost iu theso ruins, cud havo
been unable to God my woy out."
"I am afraid you have sacrificed your
lifo," said thc girl, fron bohind her voil.
"Can you show mo a way out?"
"I cannot; half tito nibo of Rajah, wbo
havo been away on an exoevston, havo ro
turned; it is your unaided arm against a
hundred."
"All right, theo; r oan die but once; but
boforo I die, oh, piay let ino have oue glanoo
at your foco! .. ue hoviog so swoet a voico
must havo the face nf an angel."
Frank said this in tho most gallant man
ner. Ho looked -.?lorious in his manly
beauty, and a pair of charmed eyes were
gazing upon him .rom bettine! thc tontuliz
ing vail, und tho eyes belonged to a woman
warmly susceptible to manly beauly.
"Oh, would that I could savo you!" she
murmured.
"Never mind about saving me; let me
gaze upon your face and die!"
Tho abovo conversation was oartted on
rapidly in Fronet).
"You must not die. I will try to save
you nt tho risk of my own life."
..You must not run any tisk for me."
"You shall not die il I oatt prevent it."
"How eau you aid mer'
"Follow mc; ibero mo many places of
concealment in these vast r uins, and an op
portunity may oiler to guide you safely be
yond them."
"I would follow an angel to thc brink of
certain death!" said Fionk.
"Como quickly!" exclaimed the vuMcd
beauty.
Frank hud played well his hand I Io
had been a great student of Oriental man
nora and customs, and knew thc value of
judicious flattery wh.cn addressed to u
woman of tho race before him. His vailed
rescuer seized a lump, and lcd him to a
part of thc room whence a crimson arms
depended from the ceiling. She drew this
aside, and motioned for Frank to pass
through, i lur hero had professed a great
willingness to die, and so he would have
died bravely; but ho was us anxious to prc
serve his life us any other youth of his agc
aud he did as directed. The arras covered
un entrance to a passngo leading into ti
second apartment. Tho gallant youn,;
New Yorker wus lcd into a room wbcro bul
ono mun had ever before entered. His
conductress led him rapidly across tin" room
to where a second crimson curtain hu?v
fro ai the ceiliit?; drawing this aside t:s sin
hud the fir>t, she again hid him pass throng!
nu J nguiu hu obeyed. Thc girl had lighter
her hiiup and passing ahead, led the way
Frank discovered that I c was being lei
through many winding passages. A
length his vailed rescuer came to u halt
and said:
"You can remain herc until nn opportu
nity offers to lead you beyond tho ruins,
must return, or my own life will answer fo
ll.o aid I have rendered you."
i'be girl lind displayed more thoughtful
ness hy providing herself with a bag ol' fi ni
which she gave to our hero. Thc bitter
le lt alone in tho darkness, had time ti
think over thc strange adventures into th
midst of which he hud been drawn. Th
excitement through which he had passe
hail permitted him but a little time lo thin
of thc lovely Lucy. Now her image urns
ta his mind like a tangible picture ?ind hi
heal t was (iiled with sadness. Mc bed n
doubt bul (hut .sb,; was one of tho tw
females who hud been smuggled on boar
of thc Mediterranean trader, nod his heal
grew cold and chill ns the possibility flushc
across his mind that when ho found lld
she 'night already have becomo thc viotti
of the wretches who had stolen her froi
her home.
"Oh! Heavens!" he murmured, "
such shalt bo thc fact, my bones will 1
whitened upon tho burning plains of th
miserable lund!"
So.nc two hours passed as near na I
could calculate, when the darkness I
which bc had been surrounded wu? relicvt
by n glimmer of light. A moment later tl
fair woman who had conducted him to tl
place of concealment, appeared.
"I will lead you forth," KIIO said, "but
fear that you will loso your life!"
"Lead mo forth and I will tuko tl
chances!"
"Yes, it ip safer to pnss you beyond tl
ruins, ns i vory noni.-, corner ond crevi?
will bo explored. Iliijah hos returned, m
anger rests upon his brow; ho is cruel an
bravo, and will spare not."
"And who is Ilojithf"
Thc sheik who rules over thc t ii ho wi
whom you unC your friends huvc had a cou
bat."
"Fair angel, will you answer mo a que
tion?"
"Yes, if within my power to do so "
"Docs a sheik named Hamud belong
your people here'/"
"No."
"Do you know him?"
"YCJ."
"WI.e.c do-s he dwell?"
"In ?he valley of lOsdralon. Ho is tl
most powerful sheik of all my husband
pcoplo."
"1 um ready to follow you, but befo
going, and while an opportunity offers,
will furnish you with my name mid nddrei
nod should your necessities over demand i
I will come from tho other end of tl
world, if I be living, to serve you."
"I tl ink I may never need your se- vice
but I do hopo that you will escupe, yi
seem to bc noble and good."
"And are you huppy in your prose
"I must be," was thc sad reply.
"Why not fly with mc?"
"Fly with you?"
"Yes."
"For what purpose?"
"To escapo from your present lifo."
"For no other reason?" said thc sfriPj
girl in a peculiar tono.
"For no other roison," answered Prahl
honestly.
_._A_:_ *? ? ? - ? - ?
<;Tbcn I will roir.a:n where I om."
Our h?ry was silunt. Tho girl took
tho letup, and in a tnd tone tuid. once mote:
"Follow mo and moy IlcoVcri gr?bt that
you may osoopo."
Frank observed that her explanation
denoted that ?ho might bo a Christian, and
ho asked:
"Are you a Mohammedan?"
"I om not."
"Then why not esoapo with mc?"
"And become a wanderer on tho face of
off tho earth? No, I did choose my fa to
in lifo, und I shall nut seek to . scape from
it"
In answer to her questions Frank told
her, os near ns he could indicate, by what
em i ance ho had passed within tho ruins,
and where ho hod loft his horse and accou
trements.
"You oould not havo left them in a Safer
piree," said tho glr\ No Mohammedan
would venture near that spring; they would
die of thirst rather."
"And will you toll mo why?"
"I cannot toll nou, but thero ts somo su
perstition connected with its waters, whtoh
causes thom to romain away from tho vicin
ity of tho spring altogether."
At length tho girl cune to a halt, and,
pointing io a possago woy said:
"Follow that, ond it will lead you beyond
to the plain; but I fear death awai's you
without. But it is ycur only chance, os
you would certainiy bo discovered anywhere
within tho ruius "
Frank would havo rcnowed his thanks,
but the sim J conductress wos s:ngubrly
averse to hearing ono word.
"Nd" abc said, "do not tarry a momen?;
you imperil both ..<ur lives."
At (he santo moment Frank heard tho
sound of approaching step.;.
"Oh, mercy'" exclaimed tho girl, "wo
ave evcu now discovered!"
