The Tabriz Carpet Secret By CLARISSA MACKIE The three young men gloated over the beautiful, silky carpet from Tabriz. Zohn Fleming had spread it on the Moor of his studio, and his two friends wat cross legged in the middle of its teh expanse while John painted out fts remarkable pattern. It's exactly as Billy translated from the old Persian manuscript, said Jobn excitedly. Here is the body of the wosque, All these little squares are the prayer rugs of the worshipers. Here fm the niche facing the east 1s the altar. This mixture of peacock tints repre- sents the altar itself, and beneath the eltar, so the manuscript says, lie buried these famous emeralds of the great whah. * Who has been dust these 200 years, welemnly added Billy Blake.

You ve claimed that the purchase of this rug was only the first step toward making the three of us rich. We've put all our available QM. coin into it. What next? Well, the manuscript says that this famous rug is a replica of the floor of the rose mosque in Tabriz. Unfor- tunately, there is much discussion as to which of the modern mosques was built upon the old foundation and floor- ing of the ancient rose mosque, Now that wo have the floor plan it is my suggestion that we take the rug to Tabriz with us, and when we:find the mosque floor plan that matehes up with it, why, we will find some. way to purrow down and get those jewels. We'll hnve to pay something to the government, I suppose. Suppose we fail. We will be out our money and the trip we planned. Be a sport, said Zom disgustedly. lf we win we can take holidays and holidays. John, I'm with you. When 60 we sail? The 22d Prince Joachim, said John promptly. Engage my passage, too, groaned Billy. Done, said John Fleming, rolling ap the rug. Now, you chaps, clear out. Fe got a lot to do in the next three days. Fourteen days later the three friends and the Tabriz carpet landed in the Persian city and put up at a very in- different hotel, John Fleming had gaincd for himself the reputation of being eccentric, for, he traveled no- where without a rofted and strapped stenmer rug in his hand. He even ap- peared at the captain's table with it during the passage, and his plea that he needed it for a foot rest was not entirely acceptable to bis table com- panions. They did not know that carefuily sewed between two steamer rugs was the carpet from Tabriz. The morning after their arrival tn the city they set forth on their search for the rose mosque, whose dentity had been lost in many a pillaging and sacking of the city by infidels. Some where in the street of Sweet Incense was a rebuilt mosque whose floor would correspond with the pattern of the Tabriz carpet. It was not until the second day that they stood in a small mosque wedged In between dark gray buildings. John Fleming did not unrott-his rug. Tt was not necessary, for even to the unstud- Ted eyes of Billy Blake and Tom Pike the floor of the edifice was similar In arrangement to that of the silky rug. As they stood there gazing, John Flem- ing pointing here and there through the gloom, there became risibie, throngh the wear of centarles and tha pressure of countless feet, traces of the beautiful. marble foor, The altar. which might once have been that fa- tous gem of peacock coloring, ha been in a inter day of restoration over vy MiA with wold loaf,.bet. : j Beneath that, eh? muttered Billly ; Blake, drawing a long breath. TZ think so, sald John proudly. What's your plan now? growled m2. ject es a You two slide out, while I remain behin . I can conceal myself in one of the anterooms until dusk, Then you two return with tools, and I'll let you in. We can remove the altar in a jiffy and bave the treasure out and away In no time. How about the guard? Isn't there vome kind of a watchman on duty bere? Hardly. The priests bave trouble enough In a up the sinners in the daytime. No danger of the ras- cals haunting the mosque at night. Most of them are drinking sweet cof- fee in some cafe until morning. Very well, John. Pick out your hid- 'ng place. Tom and I will go now. There, behind that carved screen in the corner, So long, old chap. When John Fleming had dodged be- hind his screen and the footsteps of his friends had died away on the stone floor he saw a shaft of golden light plerce the gloom of the mosque and then vanish. He knew that the door had opened and closed behind the forms of his friends. Z Hours passed. People came and went, and at the hour of sunset the place was crowded. A priest went up into the tower, and fat below in his f place of concealment Bieming heard the whining musical chant of the muezzin call to prayer. After that -all was quiet. entirely alone. When t was dark, the thick, velvety blackness of an Asiatic night, he step- ped softly to the outer door and, open- ing it gently, whistled softly. A dark figure glided toward him, Lean fingers gripped his throat and shoked him into silence. He struggled and tried to ery-out, but he was pow- erless In the.grip of a giant. . eka He was borne back fhto the mosqtie, and far away from the entrance in a tiny niche he was set down,.and his saptor produced a vile smelling oll lan- tern. ae Then it was PAR b elem eaptor was a tall, fanatical fo dividual, with a wisp of dirty green alk wound around lls disordered head.

Together they worked in silence, us- the rongh tools the man had brought with him. When the altar had been removed from its bed of cement they pried up the stone slab beneath it and found uotbing but solid bed of cement, Then it was that the fanatical priest flew madly at John Fleming and would have killed him had he not been the swifter of the-two and managed to outrun his enemy in the dark cor- ners of the mosque. Happily at this moment Billy Blake and Tom Pike appeared, and while John Fleming snatched up his precious roll of rugs and followed bim to the hotel.

Daring the homeward voyage John Fleming did not display the same so- licitous care concerning the Tabriz car- pet. For him it bad lost its value. When they landed in New York Tom Pike showed signs of excitement. Fellows, he sald cautiously, soon as we're through the-customs get a taxi and beat it to John s studio. Pwo hours later three excited young men flung themselves from a taxicab and dashed up the stairs to Fleming's studio. Once there, they locked the door and opened wide the closed windows. Well, Tom, what is it? demanded Fleming and Biake in the same reath. 5 Qnroll your precious rng, said the silent one. z They obeyed, spreading the silky oblong on the dusty floor, Tom. Here it is, said John, his finger on the rich mass of color, Take your knife and dig there, John, and Freckon you'll find the em- eralds That's my interpretation of the manuscript. Ten minutes later three awed young men sat back on their heels and gazed at a handful of large uncut emeralds which they had-roleased from the-eare- fully tied knots of the peacock threads of the rug. z It was quite true.

Swallowed the Lead. ) rord Kitchener, one of the most Mistinguished of the Knights of the Bath who recently were installed at Henry VII. s Chapel in Westminster Abbey, once had as narrow an escape of his life as ever befell a soldier. It was in the course of the prolonged and flercely-fought campaign in the Soudan in the eighties, in the first year of that decade, in fact. Whers was e lively skirmish going on at a place named Handoub, just outside Suakin, when Kitchener, who was then a rising young officer 0 Engineers, was shot at by one of the Mahdi s negro soldiers. The bullet found its mark in the side of Kitch- ener s face at the back of the cheek. It was a Remington bullet, and in- fiicted a really dreadful wound, breaking the bone at the base of the jaw. It took long time t gt; get the splinters of bone out, and the Woc- tors were unable to operate, as the bullet and fragments of bone*were too close to the jugular vein. The ball could not be located, ang the octors pronounced his case as hopeless. They said the patient could not live and his sister, accordingly, was sent for from England. The future savior of the Soudan, however, differed from the surgeons, and steadily refused to belfeve in their gloomy prognosis of his case, and, though he had to endure jour- Cairo, confined in a small cabin in sweltering heat, his thin, muscular physique and iron will-power kept the dreaded fever at bay. The hospi- tal doctors also failed to find the bul- let, and came to the conclusion that it had worked its way out during the yoyage down the Nile. Kitchener himself was of the opinion that the pullet had, by some means, come out, unnoticed by the sirgeons or him- self, and gradually the terrible wound healed, and Kitchener returned to duty. - year or/so after the skirmish. at Handoub, Kitchener one day sat down to dine off a beef steak which had been served up by Sergt. Bilton, of the hospital staff Suddenly Kitch- ener clapped his hand to his jaw. Bilton, he said, was there a bone in that steak? No, sir, replied the sergeant. Then that bullet was in my jaw after all, said Kitchener, and I've swallowed it, for I felt it go down That proved to be the case, and the great soldier preserves the flattened piece of 1 on his key-chain. Machines For Milking. One of the most prosperous indus- tries in Australia is that of dairying, and with the extension of operations the latest labor-saving machinery being adopied. For milking the ma- chines in use are the latest. At one dairy, wher about 100 cows are in milk, there are seven machines in- stalled, providing for the milking of 48 cows at the one time. The ma- chines are working effectively, and appear to find-favor in the eyes of the practical men. They combine emcten ey with simplicity, and. present ro diMiculiy in handling. The releaser conveys the milk from the cow to the separator quickly and cleanly, owing to the automatic adjustment of its inflow and outflow. The approximate cost of installing lant of this kind is 1,750, and it is able of milking a hundred cows im about two hours. Light From Below. One of the first bores put down in Western Queensland to tap the great artesian storage known to exist in the interior of Australia, was at Thargomindah, and the water from it is now being put to 2 novel use. The pressure is 270 pounds to the square inch one of the rtrongest pressure bores in Queensiand, though the flow is not very strong - about 670,000 gallons per day. The bore is 2,560 feet deep, and the temperature of the water is 166 degrees. It drives a waterwheel at 1,200 revo-u- tions per minute to provide power for an electric light system for Thargo- mindah, The charge for Yight is 25 cents per week per light. It is con- trolled by the Queensland Goyern- ment. St. Kilda Linked Up. The inhabitants of the litile island of St. Kilda, off the northwest coast of Scotland, whose homeland is in such an isolated position that they only received news of the death of the late King Edward nearly a year after the event, are congratulating themselves upon the installation of wireless communication between their island and the mainland which has just been effected. The islanders sig- nalized the completion of the station by sending a wireless message to King George. The King replied with gracious message, in which he ex- pressed the wish that the improved communication would be means of impoving the happiness of his sub- jects in St. Kilda. 4 Tarring and Feathering. People who suppose tarring and feathering is an invention of Judge Lynch out west may be surprised to learn that:it was invented, or at Jeast-was firet used, by Richard Coeur de Lion. In the regulations entered into between him and Philip Augus- tus, the Crusader commanders lt;de- creed, amongst other punishments provided, that whoever in either of their two armies should commit theft, was to have warm pitch poured over his head, which should then be pow- dered with feathers, and the offender should afterwards be abandoned on the first shore. a Passing of the Grey Bowler. The days of the grey bowler hat are numbered. A leading Bond street hatter declares that during the pres- ent season he has never sold so few grey. bowlers for the past twenty years, Society men used frequ tly r grey bowlers when going rac- ing, he said, but now they invar- iably favor hats of a darker shade. In afew years time he predicts that the grey bowler will be as great a it the horse bu ney down the Nile to the hospital-at - WH SENTINEL, SEDGEWICK, ALBERTE t * PICKLED MACKEREL. : - He Knew He Was Hit Becanse He Yow Well Known fable Delicacy Is es Dreamland. AM areams are rapid. A tutor felt asleep as a scholar was reciting, Prepared For Market, dreamed a Hitle playlet and awoke to How many of those who eat pick- led mackerel ever think of. the toil and weary houre of waiting that are spent by the men who make living by catching them in seine nets. The look-out man, or huer, as he is call- ed in Cornwall, Eng., sits on the edge of the cliff eagerly watching for the black pateh on the sea that proclaims the mackerel school playing up. The stentorian shout he gives is a by the fishermen, resting on their oars, probably half asleep, in the boats far beneath-him. In a moment all is exeitement. The boats haul their anchors and race in the direction indi- eated- by the huer. It is a case of first come, first shoot. The great seine boat leads with the heavy mass of brown net heaped in its stern; then comes the vowler, as *it is called probably corruption of follower whose business it is to see that the fish, when once enclosed by the seine, do not leap over the row of floating corks, and this s done by either splashing with a great stone tied to a cord, or else threwing smaller stones into the circle, a large supply of these having been put in the boat before it left the beach. Presently the crew of the vowler will help to haul the seine, pulling in one end whilst the crew in the larger boat pulls in the other. oe ly manned by boys. This little boat is a tender to the others, taking out the anchors, for it is necessary that the bigger boats should be firmly anchor- ed so that there may be something to pull against when hauling the seine, and the boys also shake loose any part of the great net that may get fouled. It is very hard work, too, be- cause all the toil and time may have been expended in vain, and the mack- erel school may have escaped for some more fortunate boat to secure. But if all is well the harvest of the sea is reaped, and th mass of silver, purple, and blue is poured from the net to the-beats. Then wet, hot, and exhausted, the men prepare for the next shoot. The seine is arranged afresh, and once more the weary fishermen await the huer's cry from the cliffs above. Teaching Record. ore than a hundred years service as teachers is the Jeint record of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shaw, of New Barnet, Eng., who celebrated their golden wedding recently. We both began teaching In 1852, said Mr. Shaw. There have been great changes since I first taught, the greatest be- ing in 1860, when Mr. Pobt. Lowe, afterwards Lord Sherbrooke, intro- duced the system.of grants or pay- ment by results. Then we all began to cram the boys in arithmetic, reading, and spelling so that we could get the grant. If a boy was a slacker in the three R s we helped him along with cane. Now there is less routine. The boy is-helped to develop his pow- Lers of observation and his intelli- gence. The teacher has more free- dom, and as a result the modern ele- mentary schoolboy gets a better train- ing and becomes a more valuable citi- zen. Duties of the Marshalsea Court. Windsor Castle and the other royal residences outside London are under the authority of the Court of Mar- shalsea. It has the-same officials and powers: as the Green Cloth, and was established by Henry VIII. In par- ticular it is eharged to administer justice between the King s servants so that they are not drawn into the service of foreign sovereigns. Among cases decided in recent years was that of the second master cook, who, in the absence of the master cook, seated himself in the chair at dinner and thus violated precedence. Again, when King Edward took into his ser- yice the Arab chef whose real Turk- ish coffee had won royal approval at gi-cienbad, it fell to the Courts of Marshalsea and Green Cloth to decide his: exact rank in the culinary hier- archy. y He Shook Hands, There were one or two unrehearsed incidents at the opening of the new King s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, by King George and Queen Mary, which caused considerable amuse- ment to Their Majesties. A number of purses were handed in by children from three years old and upwards. One'small boy, despite the nudging of his teachers, insisted upon shak- ing hands with His Majesty. Another mite, a shy little girl, walked back- wards until she would haye fallen off the platform had she not been caught in the arms of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was standing just betteath The First Candlestick. The first candl-stick was a boy. He sat in the corner of a Scottish Kitchen holding a piece of fir candle in tis hands, from time to time cut- ting and trimming it to make it burn brightly. The fir candle was a length of wood cut from a kind of fr tree which is found embedded in the peat. This kind of candle fs still used in some parte of Scotland. It usually fell to ths lot of the herd laddies to act the part of candlestick; but should a beggar ask fora night's ging he was expected to relieve the erd Inddie of his duty. A candle- ick is stil called in Aberdeenshire air man, or poor man. Not hike Us. A memorable tablet is to be fixed en Cardinal Manning's old house in Westminster, which, as will be re- membered,-was originally the Guards Institute, and was bought for a small sum. The cardinal s establishment is to been ruled by bis butler, dragon, and saw to it that he was hore troubled with callers at out-of- e-way hours..

Draw several pairs of circles, writes the psycholo- gist, and let your friend decide which circle in each pair is the larger. In some cases make one circle slightly larger than the other; usually, bow- erer, make the circles of each pair the same size. In each circle write a fig- ure of two digits. Although the circles are alike, you will find that ifn one you have written a small number, such as twenty-one, and in the other a larger number, such 2s scventy-nine, the boy or girl who is open to sugges- tion will tell you that the circle that contains the higher number is the lar- ger.

When Francis, duke of Lorraine, and his wife were awaiting death in the prison of Nantes they chose as the day for an attempt to escape the Ist of April. Disguised as peasants. says a chron- cler. the one bearing a hod on bis shoulder, the other carrying a basket of rubbish on her back, they both at an early hour of the day passed through the gates of the city. A woman having a knowledge of their persons ran to the guard to give notice to the sentry. April fool cried the soldier, and his comrades toa man shouted out, April fool The governor, to whom the Incident was related as a: great jest, became suspicious, and ordered an investiga- tion, but ft was too late, for in the meantime the duke and his wife were well on their way. The ist of April had saved them. 3 Captain Cook's Shilling. Young James Cook, destined later to become England s greatest navigator, was at seventeen placed on probation in the shop of a small tradesman at Btaithes, near Whitby. Seeing a new shilling in the till, the lad took it out, replacing it by one of his own. The master, missing the bright shilling, searched Cook's box and found it there, sent for a constable and for Cook's fa- ther and charged the boy with theft. 'The boy declared his innocence and cx- plained. Tho master expressed his re- gret, and, although Cook's father and the master both pressed him fo stay, his reply was: No, father, 1 can't. Once a thief, elways a thicf. I must go. And he then went to Whitby and was there apprentice? to the sea. Captain James Cook. Chouse Seymour.

They weve trappers about to start for the trading post some 40 mil s up the coast. From the front of the sledge they call it a komatik extended for about eight fect a stont in strand known in thore regions as a bridle. Clearly it was t nt i animals. should be atteched thercto, Bat where were they? T . trappers knew. Look- ing at the 30 little mounds of snow,-one e. them called sharply, Ho, ho he, bo, ot pe The effect was curious. The 10 lite mounds moved, and then were t: ins- formed into as many dogs, which un- carled themselves, arose and thook the sno from their shaggy coats. Another sharp call and they camd bounding to the komatik. Kicking and cuffing them, the trappers got them into harness, To the loop at the free end of the bridle they buttongd the cealskin traces, one of which extended over each dog s back, there to divide into two loops, whieh, af his front legs were thrust through them, joined over his breast. Now there was a great hullabaloo, the dogs leaping excitedly about, tugging at their traces ar howling with all thei- might as the Wrappers took seats in the komatik. Tho mun in front had a whip of walrus hide fully 25 feet long. Out it flew with a resonant crack. * Whit Whit shout- ed the driver. With a final chorus of. howls the dogs bent forward, strain ; hard to get their heavy load under way. and then in a mad rush they were off, the varying lengths of their traces per- mitting them to travel together like a pack of wolves. Gradually their pace slackened until it became a gentle trot. But on and on all day they, went, following the coast Jine across frozen bass ani the little .n.:ks of lands that lay between, their driver keeping them to their duty with his cry of Whit Whit and an ocea- sional erack of the whip. Sometimes the trappers ran beside the komatik on their snowshoes to their blood in: eireula- tion, and once in a while they would bave to help the haul the komattk- op.a ste slope. Darkness was falling as they approached the end of their 40- mile journey. The dogs were tired and lagged more and more. The driver, chille through and hungry, fav- age in his use of the whip. But sudden- ly on their own accord the dogs broke into a run, and again filled the air with their howls. The whit yuildings of the post had come in sight.

No other animal is safe where they abound, for this reason they are rigi ly barred from certain territory; but un- flees emboldened by starvation they will never attack a bumen being who las the nerve to make a show of resistance.
