"My opinion of him is that he is a man in a thousand, a true patriot, if ever there was one, the so'e living Egyptian whose heart bleeds for the degradation of his coun- try and the misery of its people, and who would wiUingly die to exalt both or either."

"Yet they mark her aa being a real Egyp- tian, and one of pure blood and ancient lineage." "Such is my impression, and I should aay that she waa the wi e, sister or daughter of some very great man, for her dahabeeyah was also a magnificent one. and her eunuch was most gorgeously attired, whilst she her- self wore on neck, wrists, ankles and arma almost snffioient of golden omamente to have sunk her with their weight even hihd she been able to swim." 'I declare, Frank, I think I have aa much reason to be jealous of your interest- ing bather as yon have to be of my war niin- ister. Pray, how did she tliank yon ' "She pressed my hand, and then alipped on to my little finger thia ring, which she took from off her'thnmb She ikccompanied the gift with these softly mnrmured words in broken yet perfectly intelligible French, 'Tis the jewel of the month, ao wear it ever, and be sure that aa long aa you do ao during this month of the year, death nor misfortune will ever find yon.' Then she looked me full in the face with a world of sentiment in her dark, lustrous orbs, and added in still lower tones, 'Answer the summons of tiie lotus flower,' and immsdiately drawing the curtains that surrounded the little cabin of the dahabeeyah, I taw her no more." "A very pretty adventure, I declare but what did she m^an by the summons of the lotus fliwer?" "I'm sure I cannot say. Some mere flower of speech, I should Imagine, Nellie." "If I were at all jealous or suspicious I should feel positive that it bore reference to some future meeting that she intended to have with y on. However, I possess neither feeling, so let me have a nearer look at the ring which she gave you." "Frank Donelly passed the whip into his rein hand, and bU hastily drawn off glove along, and held up the other for his compan- ion's close inspection " No sooner did Nellie's g -ze alight on the {^m, however, than she exclaimeid ' 'Oh, it's a fire opal, and it glares 1 ike a con- flagration. Why, Frank, it is the most un- lucky stone that one person can poaalbly give unto another." As Ndllie Tregarr uttered the words, atill holding Frank Donelly's hand in hers (in- deed she was unable to let It go, so great was her horror) she happened to look up and round, and was instantly fascinated by the glance of two eyes that were fixed upon her from within a rapidly passing carriage, and whoae expression filed her with more unacconnteble dread than even the opal ring had done. "Frank," said she, hastily dropping his h' nd, "who waa inside that carriage ••What' carriage The Kbedival affair that jtist flashed past uisj do you mean I declare, I never noticed.

It was tvo yashmaoked women who- were inside, and one had the most beautiful eyes, but they glarea on me like those of a fury.' Frank Donelly looked around on hearing tiiis, and beheld the huge face of a Nubian negro, with a scarlet and white turban stuck sideways on the top thereof, and a hit; eons grin on his thick blubber lips, star- ing back at him across the top of the heavy, cnmbrons vehicle which they had just en- countered. "Confound it," he ejaculated, "that fel- low perched beside the driver on the box is the very eunuch who had charge of the battling lady whom 1 saved from the croco- dile." "Then it waa your bathing lady_ who glared at me through the eyelet holes in her veil as though she would like to kill me. Frank, her fierce, vengeftd eyes and that ring together have given me' sudi a turn. And see how dark it haa anddealy grown. It ia like an ill-nnened something suddenly overshadowing our young Uvea. It may be foolish of me to think so, but I can't hdp it. Oh, do let us turn around and drive home." "By all meana.

The gardena are adorned with a thduauiid flower beda, whoae sbruba are the myrtle and the mfaoaa, wi h orange, lemon and dtron treea aiiowfag the bloaaom, the greea fruit and the ripe, at one and the same tinw, whilat high above them all the featiiary forma of the palm, the dnaky foliage (rftfa» olive, and the broad waxen leavea of the fig wave fa the gentle breeze that ' oo'mea laden witii the hot idr from the diatant deaert.

Nor withont it would even the leaves of the taU treea be ao green, or the gaily plumagad birda warble ao bUthely fa their branohea, tinkfag that another day haa dawned before its time, and Uttie wonder, for the ontUnea of every bed and path are traced with Uttle, colored lunps, and thou- sands of gaudy Cliineae lantema hang like Brobdignangian fruit amidat tree and shrub, whilst every fountam (and there are many score) tosses high fa air water of the moat brilliant and ever changmg colcrs. But let us quit this scene of fairyland nn- til the fairiea arrive to people it, and enter- fag the palaoe, take up our poaition nnaeen fa the gorgeous HaU of a Hundred Mirrors, from whose azure-domed roof a thousand stars of glass gleam down on an assemblage that is weU worth contemplatfag. The superb band of the Khedive's favorite regiment of zouave uniformed lancers is dia- coursfag the most moiem danoe mnsio in a sheU- stuped gaUery, which ia entirely coat- ed with mother of p^l, and fa the vast space beneath, the Khedive's guests are al- ready nearly all assembled. Seventeen out of the twenty foreign consuls, each of whom brings his own laws to Egypt, and ii sisto that his countrymen shaU be Kmenable to no other, are there with their wives and fami- Ues, a swarm of locnsto that certafaly form one of the seven plagues of modem Egypt but they by no means exclude the other six, who are also present fa f nU force, oompris- iog men whu have grown fat on the spoflfag of the E^ptians, and whom one can only feel half molfaed to forgive, because so much of the loot has gone toward enhanning the charms of their comely wivea and pretty danghtora. NeUie Tregarr is there, lookfag as beauti- ful as a Peri, but not qnite so happy as one, for she is under her mother's wing, and her mother is essentiaUy world' y. Like many mothers, so she haa a pet aver- aion for the man whom her daughter lovea bettor than aU others, and fa heart (and herein we hope that the is imlike the majori- ty of motners) would rather see her fair child even the fourth wife of a rich Egyp- tian or Turkish pasha than married to a pen- niless Irish drag .on. "But Frank is not pennUess and he has, besidts, great expectations," Nellie had pleaded as they were crossfag the NOe by the especial pontoon bridge that spanned it for the occasion, on their way to the palace. "Yea, manuna, he has very, large expecta- tions." "I never knew an Irishman who had not, my dear, and expectations they fa general remam to the end of the chapter. But as to Captafa DoneUy, I have objections to him on other grounds, for he is volatile to a fault, extravagant, reckless, and fa addition that most detest ible thing, a male flirt.' "Oh, mamma, I am sure that hia worat enemiea cannot say that of him." "Then I will say it for them, my dear. I'm sure that ofttimes his attentiona to me have been of a most devoted n:itnre, yet no sooner have you come up to us than he haa transferred them ta you as lightly and easi- ly aa he could change his gloves." "But, mamma, dear, he was only atten- tive to yon because you were my nether." "Nellie, I'm really surprised at your sdf- oonceit. I m sure I'm still a very presentable woman, and therefore it is by no meana a neoeasity that a gentieman ahould psy atteu; tionto me merely for my daughter's sake. I've known queens of society at sixty, and how a man of. taato and discernment can suffer hia attention to be Ughtly diverted from the converaation of a onltuied woman to the commonplace faaaitiea of a mere girl b more tlian I can comprehend.
