Sl.OOPer Year A FALLEN IDOL Br FREDERIC AN8TEY. \t CHAPTER IX. 9 Tat to the Test, When a young man of spirit finds himself suddenly scorned and re jected by the mistress he adores, hb most obvious coarse is to plunge Into ? reckless dissipation, which may hanlj reach her ears, a result of which the ? advantages are too clear to need dem onstration. Nor must he omit to Malust the false one and her sex with all the cynicism he p,n com mand. But Rtnald Campion, hard ^ u he was. could not have been a young man of spirit, for he did neither the one nor the other. Accidents, small but exasperating, were continually taking place In his t studio; ho had not a cast or study on his walls which was not injured or defaced In some way; and Dales, . denying tho damage as long as Po*slt>le. ascribed it at last to cats V thOtiga it Was hard to see what the most rigid feline prudery could ob ject to In the graceful copies from Greek or Etruscan antiquities. Campion was porpetually haunted * by ap unspeakably tormenting Im pression that he ought to do some thing?he did not know what?at once, that Um? was pressing, and the thing still undone. And this would make him . o rest < *> nervous, irritable and cap . tlous, that itis models refused to sit :? to him, and his friends grew chary of looking him up. He was in his sitting-room one 1 night, moodily smoking, and wonder ing whether he could summon suf ficient energy to go as far as his club in the course of tho evening, when Bales brought him in a foreign-look ing card on which the name of "Alex > Nebelsen" was printed. ICan't say as I like the looks of him myself," observed his factotum. "I told him, beln' a furriner, as you wem t in need of no models at pres ent, but he wouldn't take a denial, and I caught him a-cyein' of the um brellas very suspicious." The name did not happen to sug gest anything to Campion Just then, and it was late for a stranger to call. . However, he was spared the trouble of deciding whether to receive ttim or not, for the Chela had followed Bales in and motioned to him to leave the room, which after glancing at Cam pion for confirmation, he did, with an ?lr of disclaiming all responsibility for anything that might follow. Nebelsen said nothing for some moments, but only stood stlfT and si lent within the radium of the lamp, and fixed his eyes solemnly upon the ?stounded painter, who began to feel distinctly uncomfortable, and moved Within easy reach of the bell. "Your guilty conscience tell you al ready for what I am hler!" began the Chela at last. It hss not mentioned it at pres ent," said Campion. "Hadn't you better take a chair and tell me your self?" "Ha!" cricd Nebelsen, with a snort, you think to make a tomfool of me with this diabolical hell's coolness. If you do not know, why do you so startled look at me?" . . ^ B,r'" expostulated Cam pion, It Is not so usual as you seem to think for me to receive dlstln. ? fulshod foreigners In a state of ob vious excitement." "I then, to tell you that your bractlces must all this night to UL*?* co?- You see. I know well who and what you arel* under any Impression that I m tho Patriarch Job, you may find yourself mistaken presently," ob served Campion. "You are a gowardly borsecutor of beauty and Innocefice?that la what you are!" . "Let me advise you, for your own fake, not to be an ass!" would 1 tn Ms than??or pent do I" iMt ? hftT# ev,den*ly been considered, Now, look here: will you be civil and some to the point, or no jroti want me to pitch you out of the window? What on earth do you ??an by this balderdash?" aai7MLiP?V? 7<? ??Id the Chela, who seemed to at tach another meaning to the term, "it I Th?i^beCt;,,0/0U haf wo11 de,erTed. l y Wn* ,n Bal>cock's ?tudlo, where also came a young lady, ? t??r , *nd Bchweet ? the illy, and or *ame was E,8v?rt?have you ?no If?" "A good deal too iquch!" cried' Oaiuplon, whoro temper was roused At last. "What right hare you to mention that young lady me! Will you learo the house* at onee?" "Not at all," said the Chela, with an unconscious reminiscence ot Poo's raven, "/on must hear. I was there when she saw the shape you balntel for Mr. Babcock?now at laat 1 pteek yon!" "Tee," said Campion, "if It'i any (ratification to yon?you have. I'll hear you; tell me everything. 8hn ?aw It, thent Well, what did she do? what did she say? ' "I tell you only jthla?you will ???er brevall, never?she regards you with an unspeakable horror-aglta- I tlon." "Ah!" said Campion, "and?and ?he sent you here to tell me :s, oh?" ^ "No one eond me. I come on my own head," said Nebelsen. "And. I am afraid you will go out |a the saw* w^y," said Campion, " ?n leu you can fire me tome reason tor this Interference." "Listen," eald the Chela, "you do not seem to me all corrupt aa yet. Obey the bromptlng of your bedder alnchel, and let your natural heart gootness bobble up fresh again and safo you from Avitlchl before too late. Renounce this Faust-gombact, this fiend, master or servant; meddle no more with bar Black Magic!" Campion stared at him helplessly. "Is there anything else you would recommond ma to dA?" ha said; "sell my thoroughbred broomstick and give up my little trip to the moon? Don't let any false delicacy restrain you from mentioning it." "Beware! you -cannot blay with me," said Nebelsen, seriously. "I was not proposing to play with you," retorted Campion, who was gradually forgetting his annoyance. "Now can't you tell me what It's all about!" "You haf brocured som Indian yogi to help you to iudimltate Mees Els vort to betroth herself to you; you haf dabbled in magic of the left-hand side. Well, If you are mystic, I also am mystic, and behlndt me Is my ever-honored Mabatma, Shang Gasba. It la White Magic against the Black ?I and my master against you and your mendicant fakir; think what chances haf you!" "It sounds sporting," said Cam pion; "but, my dear, good, man, you're talking arrant bosh. I'm not a mystic, I don't enter Into unholy al liances with Indian beggars, I'm not acquainted with sacred mendicants; but 1 should not have imagined they would be of much assistance in a Eu ropean love affair." The Chela passed his hand across his forehead with a bewildered air. 'You are speaking the truth," he said. "I feel it; all the tlma I was won dering that your aura could of so favorabio a golor remain. Still, If It is not a yogi, and you are not to blame, why did you balnt a yogi In mystical meditation??where haf you seen such a thing? It is very gurl ous." "I've done a more curious thing than that," said Campion, "and I know just as little how I came to do it." Nebelsen sat down opposite to Campion and I .id a hand upon his knee. "It may berhaps be that only tbeosophy can supply the exblana tlon. Forglf me that I so hasty was, and tell me what It Is you do not un derstands" There was a kind of ponderous In nocence about this Germanized Nor wegian which was rather engaging, and Campion fov.nd himself complete ly disarmed by it. "Shall I?" he said. "Well, It can do no harm, and at all events, you are sure to believe me." And he told hlin how cruelly and inexplicably his portrait had been altered, and how everything had been persistently going wrong ever since. The Chela heard him with the deepest attention, and when he had finished, touched him on the breast with his forefinger to emphasize the Importance of what be was going to ?ay. L "There are beople who would tell ' you in my blace that it was a case ' simply of ungonsclous celebration. I ?ay?bah!" "But you're not going to confine yourself to that explanation?" said Campion. "At first I gonfess I was gomblete ly buzzled. Now I com to the gon clusion that you are being molested by ono of those saml-lntelllgent grea- j ture of the astral light which we call 'elemontals' whom you haf attracted ! Into your neighborhood." "Ah?" enld Campion, gravely. -*ou soe, you are evidently what In our philosophy Is termed a 'sensU tlve,' and your spirit has perhaps b$. com odyllzed by the aura of this dls Ingarnate horsonallty, this elemental, until between your own astral part and disembodied spirit an Identity of molecular vibration Is at times es tablished?is that clear?" "Simplicity itself," said Campion. "Is it not?" said the Chela, highly delighted with his own perspicacity; "and now you understand?" "But what dooa this thing mean by spoiling my canvas?" demanded Campion. "Probably it could not Itsel( tell you; In these elementals there Is gur lous blayfulness." "If tnat la an elemental'* notion of fun, I can't follow him," said Cam- I plon. "Well, Herr Nebelsen, you I havo found a theory, but I want something more. I want to get at that elemental and punch his head and take his fun out of him. 1 dare say you will say that is Impossible, and I'm much of the same opinion myself. But you must hare some remedy to suggest?" "A remedy? oh, yes!" said the Chela; "there is one which all in itiates recognize as very goot against hostile elementals; send to your apotheke for one?or bodder, for two ?ounces of niter, and put tnem in a plate with one ounco vitriol?it will drive him away?most like'.*." Campion could retain his gravity no longer?he roared with laughter. "Why not beetle-poison?" he said, most disrespectfully. "My dear sir, I can't help It. I'm afraid you can't rtrr nvclu though It's kind of tour to vlah to try." "Vol mo try still mora,** ?M th? Chela. "Ton laugh bow; some day, perhaps, you do not laugh. On a word from you. 1 will blaee all my occult faculties In your service. I will ?m?though It will probably make him very croaa?with my yen erable Mahatma communicate." Campion shook his head laughing ly. "No, no, my dear Herr Nobel ?en," he said. "It's only fair to tell you I can't believe !a all th*?e thing*. They aeem to me the mereat moon shine." "Moonshine, perhaps," said the Chela. "Only remeber?moonshine Is not less real ar. sunshine." "1 don't feel quite up to tbeosophy just now," said Campion wearily. "Suppose we talk of something else?" "Oh, yes, you will hear this," said Nehelsen persuasively. "In Mr. Bab cock's picture Is an Indian yogi, and in thst portrait is an Indtan?per haps a Burmese?idol. You could not hs( done either one or the other, because you haf never seen them. Now why should both?? "I don't know whether It affects I your theory," said Campion, "but If 1 can't explain the yogi (and I confess I can't) the Idol can be perfectly well accounted for. I painted it from? from something I happened to hare by me." "So!" said tho Chela; evidently this had upset his latest theory. -You haf It stil hler?" "Somewhere. I waa rearranging my things the other day, and I put It on a shelf out of the way." "May 1 haf It down to examine?" and Campion brought the idol from Its retirement, not with the best grace in the world, for the fact was it had been banished because he had taken a strong dislike to it. Nehelsen carried It carefully to a side table, and folding his arms, re garded It thoughtfully for some time; then he came nearer and seemed to be testing the air with his outspread lingers, and Anally he turned to Cam pion in triumph. "At last, and this time without i doubt, I haf the glew!" he cried. "You don't say so?" said Campion carelessly. Nebelsen causht him by the sleevj and led him up to the image. "I am going to tell you a thing by which you will be much surbrlsed. All your unluck and hart lines are by this blacld-seemtng-gross leg caused." Campion looked at him sharply for a moment, suspecting some hidden meaning; but the Chela was quite in nocent of any illustration to the se cret engagement of which he had never heatd. "I tell you," he repeated, "I haf no longer ftny doubt; it radiates quite perceptibly an evil magndtism. I feel It from here." "What a funny person you are, Nebelsen!" said Campion, laughing in spite of himself. "I am not fonnlng, I am quite serl our. What, do you not beleaf?" "Not a bit. I was brought up 'a happy Christian child/ Nebelsen, as our nursery verse says. I can't be lieve in a working Idol." "As an Idol?no. But may he not haf been so saturated with the ber sonal magnetism of a very bowerful medium that he finally attains an automatic gonclousness to himself?" "I should have thought it quite improbable." "Answer me only this. Are there no oggurrences you remember which you can distinctly gonnect with that image? I beg you to be gandld." Campion reflected conscientiously, "Let me see," he said. "The boy who brought it here was run over Just at the door?boys always are get ting run over. My fellow Pales and I came to grief when we tried to put It up on a bracket in my loom, and there was a pretty big smash, and I believe it fell down again with Bales when he was taking lt?to be washed." "You ass," crlsd Ncbclccn, "hut there Is more to tell, Is there not?' "Well," said Campion, reluctantly, "It did kill a dog certainly?at least the dog upset the pedestal, and that thing fell down and flattened thi poor brute. And oh, well, I dare say you could pick out several other co incidences about as striking If you took the trouble " "Seferal golncldences together an Inference make. I tell you, and I am sure of It, that?In some way even I do not bretend to understand?that image Is Imbued with a force whioh enables It to broteot Itself!" "You mean to tell me you seri ously believe all this bosh? Look here; I'll settle this at once, and then 1 hope you'll let me hear no more of it. Here goes for your self-conscious image!" He took tho idol by its conical head and Jerked it contemptuously on to th3 floor. It bounded in threo long skips, duck and drake fashion, across the floor, and rolled through a largo mirror which was leaning against the wall, and the fragments of glass cut gaping rents in somo nowly stretched canvasses and fin ished studies behind. Nebelsen pointed to the idol, which wan smiling amidst the debris like a sloeplng infant. "You call that no broof?" he said triumphantly. Campion was amused at his ob stinacy. "If you are going to sea marvels in everything," he said, "why, I could make a bowl do the same thing any day; but I suppose yon would call that offended dignity, too. Nebelsen, I must cure you of this nonsense, It's so bad for you. We'll try it again with a more subtle sort of outrage. Ah! I think this will do." Nebelsen had already replaced the image upon a table, and Campion took a tube of carmine r.hlch hap pened to be nea., and with his thumb drew a broad smear across the Idol's ?yes, to the Chela's extreme horror. " Jtak. Jo fco .OoaUa??U Jki SULTAN A PRISONER 'I Young Turks Win Victory In -Stiff Contest YILDIZ OABMgON SURRENDERS OaaattertimuUita Kan Htutlon la Hand?Martial Law Proclaimed? Foreigners S*fe.^-WUl Test 8ul taa'a Responsibility For Mutiny. Constantinople, By Cable.?The constitutional st forccs were in com plete eontrol of the capital Saturday. The Sultan was practically a prisoner in the Yildix palace. His formal sub mission was not given-, but he and the troops with him were at the mercy ?f the army of occupation. Mahamoud Sehefket Pasha, the eommander-in-chief of the invuding roroes, dosirrd to finish the work without further blooashed. The sending forward of tbe ad vance posts of the Saloniki army Fri day afternoon to within two and one-half miles of the palace fore shadowed the attaek upon the city, which began at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. The bridges had been pick eted and small partiee of cavalry had reconnoitered ihe grund. After desul tory firing, just before dawn, a strong advance was made in the southwest part of Pera. The attacking forces spread out in a Ion# line and made an assault ujwn the Matchka and Taschkischia barracks, south of the palace. Hero they met with a stub born resistance. The invaders continued to advance in three columns with the utmost pre cision, and occupied all the points of vantage. The voluneers from Gnev geli received their baptism of fire from Matchka, but they stood their ground well and replied with steady volleys. The strength of the volun teers was overwhelming, and the Matchka garrison soon surrendered. Almost imemdiately the loyal sol diers on the Taschkischia barracks, on the opposite hill, opened with a deadly fire, but notwithstanding that many of them fell, the Saloniki troops did not hesitate in their ad vance, but moved slowly and cau tiously, bringing up their machine guns, which eventually resulted in mencing the garrison. There were beavy losses on both sides. While this attack was proceeding, another corps of Saloniki infantry encounter ed a sudden attaek from the artillery in the Taxim barracks but these were only supplied with rifles. Muksstar Bey, commander of the Saloniki forces, fell dead ard many were killed or wounded on the first assault. Perhaps the most remarkable fea ^re attack upon the city was the great number of people of all nationalities, including many Euro pean women, who thronged the streets immediately outside the rone of fire. Everybody showed that con fidence had been inspired by the dis cipline, valor and friendly courtesy of the invading troops, particularly the gendarmes of Saloniki. The number of casualties probablv will never bo known, but it is esti mated far into the thousands. Around tho Taxim barracks alone it is be lieved that a thousand or more men fell. The private houses within the line of fire suffered greatly. , In one quarter some 6,000 or 7,000 troops were engaged in the conflict, but with the terrific exchange of shots, few non-combatants were kill ed. At noon the batte ceased, and pre cautionary measures were immediate ly taken bv those upon whom victory had rested, to insure the safety of the residents. No disorders of any kind occurred during the afternoon, and no lootirg was permitted. Gen eral satisfaction seemed to be felt nt the swift change from uncertainty to constitutional order. A cablegram of Sunday says; The Yildiz garrison surrendered to the Conetitutionclist forces. The com manders of these battalions began sending in their submissoion to Mali amoud Schefket Pasha Saturday night and the whole of the troops protect ing the palace gave their formal and unconditional surrender shortly after daw*; Niari Bey, called the hero of the July revolution, is now in com mand of th<> garrison. Sultan Abdul Hamid has been per mitted to remain within the walls of the Yildiz'Kiosk, where in company with his milliliters, he waited for the outcome of the struggle between his loyal troops and the army of in vestment, each hour bringing to him word of a fresh disaster. Enver Bey, one of the leaders of the young Turks, when asked how military mcu regarded the Sultan, re plied: "We do not have an opinion on that subject. The Sultan in in the hands of Parliament. The admin istration is to rphold the civil gov ernment." Turkish, French and English war ships aro at other ports, and marines have been landed to quell disorders. A Washington City dispatch says, the Turkish embassy has received Dispatches from Constantinople that the houses and foreign mission* (embassies, legations, etc.), and the banks, as well an hotels, are guarded by the military so that there is safety in the town. These measures were only taken for precaution. Miss Mary Curtis I^ee, daughter of (den. R. E. Lee, is in Turkish Capital.

SENATE TARIFF IKIl READ Every Paragraph In the Bill Will Be Subject to Amendment When It la Taken Up Monday and tho Whole Bill is Thus Subject to Revision Before Passing. Washington, Special.?The first reading of the traiff bill for conaid erationof committee amendments was ?oncluded when the Senate adjonrncd Prday. According to an agreemchC nade when the reading was begun ?vary paragraph of the entire bill ?rill be subject to amendment when it * taken up for final consideration on lach paragraph Monday. While the A'hole measure is thus subject to fur ther revision, all conceded that sub itantinl progress has been made. Tliero will be uo return to many of the schedule*. There was comparatively littlo de bate on the measure Friday, as Sena tor Aidrich postponed replying to aaany questions naked of him in order to hasten the conclusion of the read ing of the measure, saying he would make full explanations when the various amendments receive final con sideration. Many provisions, includ ing the wood pulp and wool schedules, were Friday passed over on specific abjection. During the reading of the tariff bill, numerous requests were made on the part of both Republicans and Democrats for the passing over of rarious schedules, although an agree ment had previously been made that inch action was not necessary in or der to permit a Senator to enter anj obtain a vote on any amendment. Senators McCumber and Simmons ?uggested that the luml>cr schedule be passed over and Senator Beveridge nade the same recast in respect to the tobacco schedules. Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi, requfstjng that various schedules un der the head of agriculture be pas* ed over, Senator A Id rich asked whether he did not wish to make a similiar request iu respect to rice, tha duty on which the finacc committee had allowed to stand at 2 cents per pouod as passed by the House. "Theie is nothing under the agri cultural schedules that is so high aa I the duty on rice," suggested Mr* j Aldricb. "Still we might amend the schedule," said Mr. McCumber, smil I ? ! "Let it be passed," interposed Senator Gnllinger with a significant glance toward the Democratic side. The Phillipine sugar schedule call ed forth a vigorous criticism on the part of Senators Clay and Bacon, of the policy of admitting sugar from the Philippine islands to the United States free of duty. They declured that the freo admission of 225,000 tons of sugar from Porto Ilico and 400,000 tons from the Hawaiian is lands had not affected the price of re fined sugar and added that while granulated sugar intho United States sells for 4.90 cents per pound, it is sold for 2.70 cenfs a poUud in Lon don. Mr. Bacon insisted that tht introduction of free Philippine sugar would, by replacing an equal amount of dutiable sugar, reduce the reve nues without any benefit to the peo ple of this country. The paragraph was passed over ! under objection by Senators Poster and Newlands.
