It Is not tor sul tans to make vlslers drunk, and mock them and despise them, and got the better ot them. "It la for vlslers to make sultans drunk and bend them to their will; obtain mastery and Influence and power over them; make sultans sign what vlslers have written; make sultana say what viziers think; It is for vlslers to guide them and lead them and drive them and ride them, as the weakest man can ride the strongest stallion, or the swift est cameL "Let not this Ralsnl make you drunk again, or 111 will eome ot It great 111 In great matters, as well as little 1U In little things." Lady HI Isa Beth el Aln paused In the torrent of her speech and In her fanning of her son. "A little 111 hath already befallen," he said quietly. "It yoa call this head "a little HI' . . ." "I don't call It even that, my son. A far, tar worse 111 than that befell; for that pale English girl, yonr wife, Insulted and angered Ralsul, our master; Ralsul, In the hollow of whose hand lie the fortunes of your father and yourself and me." "What?" cried Jules, suddenly sit ting upright on the divan. "Yes, you may well ask. Now yon are taking some notice ot what I say. Through yonr drinking this bet eH. Had yon been with yonr wife, as yoa should hare been. It would never hare happened. Not only did she Insult and anger and thwart Ralsul, she actually threatened him. "What, think yon, is the fate ot those, and ot the family ot those, who thus offend great powerful sheikhs and kalds and sultans?" "What happened?" asked Jules MallgnL "Oh, yon know what Ralsnl la. Can't leave any girl alone. Not that they want htm to leave them alone. That Sara! Ton keep her out ot Ralsul's way." Jules Malign! laughed. "He's a great lad," he said again. "Tes, and he'll be a great sultan some day and you can be a great prime minister, Tiller, chief coun cillor ..." "Keeper of the king's conscience and treasury what?" laughed Jules. "The latter would be mora worth keeping." ". . . yea, Governor of a great Province, a fat province, yielding twice the taxes that the governor has to send to the treasury," con tinued El Isa Beth el Aln. "All de pendent on the countenance and favor of this Ralsul some day. And meantwhlle, your wife must quarrel with him, Insult him, threaten him. Would you believe that she came and asked me to lend her a knife to stick in him? Think ot it I" "But what happened?" "Why a certain fool got drunk In front of the man whose respect he should keep. Cot so drunk and In capable that his own father said It would ba wrong to take him to his wife's apartment and let her behold his shame. Thus was his wife left alone with none to protect her, or to give her good counsel, or to keep her out ot mischief. So she got Into mischief. She Insulted and angered and threatened her hus band's patron and employer, the source of his wealth, his honor and his future greatness." "Wll yon tell me what happened, before I . . . ?" "I am telling yon. The fool'a wife a far bigger fool unmindful ot her husband's happlnes and wel fare, behaved according to her folly." "I suppose yon mean young Ralsul went to give her a cousinly good night kiss, and overdid It, and got his face smacked?" "It Is all very well to put It like that It's ail very well to make little of It but It's a very serious matter as you'll And out my son. All very well to say, with a laugh, that Ralsul got his faco smacked; but people ot Ralsul's sort don't like having their faces smacked, and they are apt to return a smack with a thrust of a knife; or with a blow ot a bullet; or with a Jerk of a noose." "Morhldl Old-fasblonedl Vlo torlanl" laugheo Jules. "So don't get drunk again, my son," continued his mother, "or If you must see that your wife is in a safe place where she cannot cause mischief and danger." "It's news to me, my mother, that Margaret la much ot a mischief maker, or given to pursuing young men and leading them on, for the tun ot turning them down at the psychological moment." "I did not say that your wife pur sued RalsuL Do not put false ac cusations against your wife Into my mouth, my son. I did not say that she led him on. I said that she in sulted and enraged him. I said that she threatened him." "Threatened to do what?" "She threatened to shoot him." "To shoot him? What lor?" "What for? To get her husband, and her husband's father and mother put to death, I ahould think. What do you suppose would be tht result ot Zalnub'a hearing ot th mere threat-the threat to kill hoi son?
