The Young Man of the Brick nrp Bv DOROTHEA HALE In Coiisiamiiiop.e there has always been, since us imiiesl by the Turks, a mis. eliiiiM-i'iis- population. Persians. Greeks, races of wesleru and southern Europe are minuted together, besides Moms from iioiilicrn Africa Souie of these peopies loriu colonies among iLemse.ve- and continue the customs of their unlive nines Coue(Ueut ly there are a crenl many queer cus toms iu Constantinople. Aiiiiiiiu these customs perhaps the strangest is betrothal and marriage among the Mimii-s. There ts no such thing as a courtship among them Mar riages a,re arranged by contract be tween the parents of Hie grooui and the bride, who do not see each other until tluw are married Yet the human heart in these people beats the sauie as among other races It may be well for a bride if she has not met some man to whom she has given her heart, for. fancj tree she may fall in love with her tiuslmiid or at least become attached to him as Is natural between those who live and bring up children together Hut woe to the young girl who has seen the man who has inspir ed her with a grand passion The marriage ceremony among these people is aho peculiar as will appear in the case of a young Moorish girl called A.vxa. who was betrothed to a young man named Muley Abdul by her parents but who had fallen In love with a voung man she had seen but once The young. esieclally girls on the threshold of womanhood, are prone to succumb before a single glance of a man who captivates their fancy, and southern races are more liable to this than colder blooded peoples of the north Aya In crossing that much frequented bridge uniting two parts of Constantinople, stopped to look down over the side into the water. While doing so she uncovered her face, since there was no man below to see It. Presently turning her eyes aside she saw a young man also leaning over the side, tint instead of looking Into the, water lie was gazing at her She saw the lovellirht in his eyes and uncon sciously returned It Covering tier face, she pursued her way. But from that moment she was changed Her young and excitable he Ing saw In all about her that face alone. At least it was all that excited a response in her Indeed, it became a part, the greater part, of her being. It was at this time that negotiations were entered ujion for her marriage with Mil ley Abdul. When Rhe heard of them she had not met the young man on the bridge, and they did not especially Interest her-that Is, they were not repulsive to her. After the meeting they became n horror to her. But she could do nothing to prevent the union that awaited her. She had met the young man of the bridge but once, and even if she had seen him often and they had become lovers It would not have made any difference. She would have married the mau pro vided for her aud that without having seen him The arrangements for the marriage having been completed, the' parents of the bride and the groom, who were both Moors, prepared for the wedding, to be celebrated as It would have been celebrated In Tangier or Tripoli. Ayxa, as was the custom, was to be carried to her husband at night. The street In the Moorish quarter through which the bride would puss was lined with persons to see her pass. She was at home with her father and mother and the woman who had nursed her from babyhood, languidly she hade her parents pdhy and left them, - ! Ing with her nurse, who In accordance 1 w ith the ceremony was to conduct her to her husband. And now comes the strangest part of this strange custom. The nurse left the house, carrying a box which contained the bride, placed it on a tiuile standing In-fore the door, then led the animal down the street. Mov ing slowly to the sounds of wlerd mu sic, the old woman, the mule and the bride within the Ivx proceeded on their way to the home of the groom. As they passed house after house friends emerged to salute the bride. .None knew the feelings of Ayxa. for she h id not confided them even to her mother What desperate resolve was In her fierce Moorish bosom slm kept hidden there A bride who had loved another, on her way to an unknown husband, had beeu found at the door of his house dead 111 the box that en closet! her. bv her own hand Indeed there were those along the route who. remembering this, shuddered lest the casing concealed m corpse Hut ueurly all were as loinl in their congratula tlons as if Ayxa was going to the hus band of her choice At last the home of the groom was reached lie was not at the door to receive her. but waited for her within When a living bride stepped from the box there were those In the throng who breathed a sigh 'f relict Ayxa was conducted by her mother-in-law to tl - rootu where her husband awaited her There she was left to en ter alone She was expected to ad vance toward him and throw hersel' at his feet Instead of doing so she st'-pped short and fixed her gaze upon Mm Then she sank upon the floor in m swoon In a few moments he revived to find herse t in the arms of the man she bad married lie was inoklng down upon her with in-e and delight In his eyea He was "e veiling man she hud m it on the briilge TWO SCENES IN TWO LIVES Bt MARGARET BAKU line might, trust morning an eider i) geiilien.aii living nil a country rouil was taking I lie air walking uboiil hit piuce.

The man took her hand In one of his; the oilier he stole around her waist. ; '1 love you.' he said, 'and I wish you to be my wife ' The words were slin ' pie but more winning from their sim plicity. It was the happiest moment of her life. "Hut not relishing being won too eas ily she asked for time, promising an answer within a few days He assent ed, but reluctantly. When a few days bad passed she looked for him to come to her for her answer. He did not come A month passed and she reoelv ed a letter from him from a distant city, telling Iter that he had suddenly i been culled away; that a new field had . opened to him, tint that It would be a ' long while before he could expect any ! greal success. Had she loved him deeply she would not have asked for ; time This waa probably fortunate, since he could not be near her. a long while must pass before they could be married, and lie would only stand In her way of being settled for life. If ; she agreed with lilm In this an answer to the question be had nsked was not necessary If that answer wiih to have been 'Yes' and ulie preferred to stand by it she might write him, and he would do Ids best to make good hi offer 'This chilled her first and only love She wrote hlin that doubtless he was rigid about the matter, and since his view was hers, she considered his offer annulled " The lad.v had reached this point which was the end of her story, when one of the young ladles In the house brought iu a dainty luncheon on a sal ver She would have lingered, but her father told her that the stranger waa not equal to seeing more than one person at a time The girl withdrew Then he spoke "There Is a period In a man'a life bwtweeii, say. eighteen and twenty-live, when what he Is to be Is forming He Is clay ready to thrust into the fur nace This person you speak of was then In that condition He was at an important point of his life when the two elements, caution and daring, are struggling for the mastery In his case caution prevailed And yet for a ti the chuiict'H between the two were equal i "This person who at a critical mo ment looked behind hlin never again ciime to a iHiltit where he could con tldently, fearlessly look before hlin.

I Hiring the second mouth some of his preiiiatrluioiiial cronies were having a little poker party and telephoned htm to Join them. He did so That was Pickering's Hrst relapse, but not his last Inn id. he had a great muni of them so many that he found it dillicult to lliul excuses for them. Mis I'lckeiing was a dear little wo man 1 a very sensible one She ar gued that if sin- found fault with her husband fol leaving her ulone nights while he enjoyed the pleasures ot bachelorhood there would arise a series of altercations which would reuder hia home unpleasant to him and he would stay away altogether Nor was this the worst of It. A mau j hobnobbing with men must spend i mono He can't avoid It It's a game of billiards, a cigiir. an evening at th" theater. This all makes a coiislderil ble total. The consequence was that when his wife felt like enjoying at) evening where she might listen to mu sic, of which she was very fond, the husband's expenditure had so reduc ed the exchequer that there were uo funds for the purpose, i Tills wasn't right. Pickering knew it wasn't right, but found himself uu ; able to break away from his associil tlons He said the only way to do that was to leave the place where they lived and go to some other Hut when : his wife asked him how he was going to get a position In some other place he had no answer He looked sober. ! and that ended the conversation. So Mrs. Pickering fell into the habit I of enduring without complaint. I One night when Pickering had gone ! out there '-ame a ring at the tele phone. Mrs. Pickering answered the call and learned that her husband's ; aunt was very ill and Tom was to come around Immediately The aunt. i a maiden lady of sixty and iu chronic ! bad health, was very fond of her nephew, and It was expected that she : would make him her heir.

The quantity of ale consumed by ladies at break fast in those days was considerable, for in the reign of Henry VIII. the maids of honor were allowed for breakfast "one diet loafe, one man ehet, two gallons of ale and a pitch er of wine." A Lady Lucy made a mighty tonic of the national brew. Her breakfust was a chine of beef, a loaf and a gallon of ale, and for her pillow meal a posset porridge, a generous cut of mutton, a loaf and a gallon of ale.
