Post. IIo had just gono ,on watch la tho soft gray dawn when- something Tall and bright yellow started from tho ground bohind tho llttlo booth of tho ticket puncher and waved a pair of long, bony hands nt him. "In," moaned a Voice from somo- whero at tho top of tho yellow monu ment, "Lot raon,o-o-o-n-a." The gntcmnn KOIcd, took his heart between bli tooth and stammered, "IIo isrrf't boro yet tho tlckot chop per; you can go in when ho comes." Down to tho ground fell tho yellow monumont, tho long bony hands grasp ing tho gatekeeper around tho knsci "E-o-e-n," ho moaned; "they will liavc-a my blood, thoy will oats my heart lot-a mo c-o-o-n." And tho gat onian stepped' asido and lot tho yellow streak in. Tho yellow streak was one. El Nunan, -prophot, seer and teacher, from Persia. Ho had a tlckot to Torro Haute, Ind., and to Torro Hauto ho has gono, loaving bis class to mourn his depar ture. . , El Nunan camo to Chicago a little over a year and 'a half ago. Ho wnt ft tall man, so Mender hat tho timid ahfars looked nwav from him hniitllv for fear thoy might see clear throueh him which, In tho enso of n man of El Nunan 's oxaltod protonslons, ,would uuvo ucon unsccmiy. Ho had a pair of black eyes that burnod liko coals, a long, thin face, a sot of tooth that Unshod ltko fire works on a clear Fourth of July night, and a volco that callod to thp souls of tho superstitious like the volco of one crying from tho tombs of hla.aricc'sy tors. A Wondorful Prophet.' e IIo was a' good roan, wnsrEl Nunan Ho livod in a' llttlo cottage or? Ploasant street, whero was attended in stato by an eastern servant, nil white turban and shoot drapory. It was whlsporud ln tho neighbor hood that El Nunan never ate and that ho slept ono hour in tho 24, and; that hour was from midnight until. ..the mystic tlmo of 1 o'clock. Also El Nunan workod charms', wondrous charms, nnd ho taught for a nicro nothing tho secrets of tho far away caBt. Ono of tho secrets ho taught was connoctod with tho ovor oluslvo mys tery of human Hfo. "Havo you too many daughtors" said El Nunan, speaking one morning to Mrs. John Pholpn. "It is easy. Honcoforth all the children of your housohold will bo sons. Eat but what I shall proscribe you and the family at your table, nnd you shall supply tho north side with fighters and banner-bearers that will causo tho west- and south alders to hang their dtmlnlihod honds In ihaino." To El Nunan camo then Mr. nnd Mrs. John SImmlngton Booth and a Mr. and Mr. Marshall, all of Ploasant rtroot. "Eat but what I shall prescribe," said El Nunan, "and nil ah all be as you wish." And so it camo to pas that tho grocors of tho neighborhood backed their carts up to the Booth and tho Marshall and tho Phelps and tho Fllukow and to many other homes In tho street, bearing loads of rutabaga roots and sacks of barloy. Five times a day did tho women of tho household sit down to n uieal of boiled barloy and four times a day did tho men dine on rutabaga. No meat, no vcgatable, no fruit, al waya and always rutabaga and bar ley. The men of the family, at first en thuslosllc, grow restlvo. "I want something to cat," thoy vrled In rebellion, but El Nunan camo. and argued with them in his wolrd voice, llko one crying from tho tomb and at the burning of his amatlug ,eye the everyday American quailed nnd tho rutabaga diet went on.
