A hundred tinier, and some of more renown

eyes a strange light, a gleam, half ter­
ror, half desperation, the look of a
haunted man, whoso fate impels him
forward. Theu another city, a city of
whitewashed walls aud many liuts aud
few palaces and stretches of tbe sea and
the masts of ships.
The swish of waves, and the roaring
sf the wind, and the rattle of cordage,
and in tlio midst of the ship the brown
faced man calmly indifferent to the
tempest
More clouds and long blanks of cha­
otic nothingness. My eyes find them­
selves gazing at tbe wall of my room,

st< pi tint man who crouched by the city
gates. Step by step he comes to my bed­
side, aud bis eye glistens and his knife
is reel, mid my eye never leaves his.
Then he pauses aud bends low with
his arms rS tstretched.
"Sahib,” he murmurs, ami his voice
is singularly low uud gentle, "I am
here. ’ ’
"The diamond I" I hoarsely mnrmur.
He removes his turban and slowly
unwinds its many folds. As he does so
the room seems filled with the rustle of
garments, and a strange, sweet perfume
oomes to me. There are whispers, too,
aud u sound like a stifled sob.
Slowly the stranger unfolds his tur­
ban, mid suddenly out of it leaps a
great white pebble. He lifts it before
me betwixt his lean brown thumb mid
forefinger, and I know that in his other
hand he holds the red kuifo.
"Tbe diamond of tbe uizaui, sahib,”
he murmurs.
As he speaks a sudden ray of sun­
light falls upon the white, pebble mid a
mighty glory seems to fill the room.
My eyelidH drop before that glare. I

knife. Tho room grows dark and yet
darker. I seem to be slipping away,
slipping away.
“John!"
Is that my name? Is somebody call­
ing me? What is this that holds my
baud and draws me buck? No, no; let
me go.
"John!”
Surely somebody is calling me.
I open my eyes slowly, so slowly.
Across tbe level of my bed I see theface
of George leaning forward, his features
in the shadow, bis eyes gleaming with
frightened anxiety, in his hand a tiny
medicine glass that catches a dazzling
ray of sunlight. Somebody else is there,
somebody who holds my baud tightly,
somebody who calls again:
"John, dear!”
I raise my eyes a little higher. An­
other face is bending over me, a white,
tear stained face.
“John!"
It is Mary.
And ho 1 came back.—W. R. Roso in
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
I had been ill with fever. They tell
me that it was a eevere illness and
that the outcome was for many days in
doubt. Twice, they «aid, my feet press­
ed on the verge of the dark valley, and
twice wus I drawn bark. I know little
of thia personally. For two weeks er
more I was either delirious or uncon­
scious. Then, one bright Muy morning,
I camo back from the laud of shadows.

I threw u gr. at deal of thought into the

what I said:
“Any litters, George?"
Ho started up hastily.
"Letters, sir? Yes, sir, letters and a
telegram. "
"Head the telegram,” I said, after

He tore open the yellow envelope.
