One or two tainted in the shock of the cold plunge and were drawn in by the woinaks, but three pressed on, breaking the ice before them with their arms or with the whole weight of their bodies as they climbed upon its brittle edge. Soon they were beyond their depth; one dared to go no farther and, blue and bleeding, gave up the chase. The prize lay between Michael and his com- panion. This boy was larger and older than he and, finding that the ice would sustain his weight, stretched himself- upon it and crawled forward until he grasped the flag. But the momentary- pause as he detached it from the wooden block and put it between his teeth was sulfident to allow the crac- kling bridge to break beneath him, and he sunk out of sight. At the same in- “v wâ€"â€" 'â€" stant Michaéi disappeared. Though several yards from his companion, he plunged benegth the ice and reappear- Lg‘.

The boys were hurried into the barracks and given a hot drink made from a de- coction of strong mints, while the woi- naks smeared their bodies with the same and rubbed them until the shock or their exposure was counteracted by the generous return of the natural heat. “I thought,” said old Mustapha, “that we would have drowned somqtoday. It is a cruel custom, but it is worth months of other practices to find out a lad’s clear grit and power of endur- ance. But hist!" and he pointed to the entrance of tlze square from the se- raglio court adjoining and assumed an attitude of the gravest dignity. In a mo- ment more the two officers knelt and, resting their foreheads on the ground, remained in that position until a lad of some twelve years approached them and touched the head of each with his ; foot, bidding them rise.

Here and there were open fields incumbered with stinted nndérhrnsh and either broken with ontcropping rocks or smooth with strips of meadow land now white and glistening under the snow. This section or the park presented a fascinating appearance on the day or the tox hunt. Scores of lads from the adorned with eiéry 'EIegance that the art of landscape gardening could _devise, but the greater part of jammry school wére there, and old soidlers gathered here and there in Prlnce Mahomet rode a horse, small but compactly built, jet black. in strongest contrast with the white tu- nic and gayly embroidered jacket of the little prince. With merry shout the young tyrant chased the boys, who, - “So it‘will be it he ever comes to the throne,” said Selim to a comrade. “Ma- homet 11. would follow no one. There would be no use of viziers and gener- als, and he would even attempt to drive the janizaries like his sheep. It is well that Aladdin is the elder.” The woinaks brought in several crates with latticed sides containing the foxes, which one by one were to be let loose for the chase, the boys to act the part or hounds and drive the game from the thickets, in which they would naturally take refuge, out into the open space' and within arrow range or the prince. Mahomet by constant practice had acquired great dexterity in man- aging his steed and almost unerring aim in using the bow from the horse's back. carfying' wands decâ€"orated with rib- bons,. rgn ahead or him to clear the way. ' A splehdld red fox was thrust out of the crate. For a moment he remained crouching and trembling in his fright at the crowq then darted suddenly for the underbruslf. The boys, imitating the sharp cry or prolonged haying of a pack of hounds, scattered in dilrerent directions, some disappearing in the copse, others stationing themselves at Jhe openings or runways where they thought the animal‘would‘appear. The bugle of the white eunuch, who was constantly near the prince, kept all in- formed of his position,‘so that reynard might be driven toward him. In a few moments the arrow or Mahomet laid him low~ _-- . I I11..- man-J v- u... only to fly to his speedy execution. The third animal was an old one, who persisted in taking the direction oppo- site to that in which the chasers would drive him. Again and again as the boys closed about "him he dashed through the-thickest of their legs, leav- ing them tumbled together in a heap. At one time he sprang through the opening at which Michael. studying the tricks of the quick witted brute. had stationed himself. Sudden as were his movements. the young mountaineer’s were not less so, for, like a veritable hound, he threw himself bodilyrupon the prey. Passing his right hand be- neath the entire length of the animal‘s body from the rear, he grasped his front leg and bent it back beneath him, at the same time using his whole weight to keep the animal’s head close to the ground, so as to escape his ‘ L-_ nâ€"A‘l‘“ fhon nn‘ fangs. He had taken more than one beast in.a similar way from the holes in the old mountain pass. In'the exz citement of the sport he now forgot that he was merely to enable another to get the game without effort or dan- gar. Prince Mahomet rode to the spot to- ward which the fox had turned and in a sudden outburst of anger at this in- terference with his shot drove the ar- row at the two as they were struggling on the ground. The whirring barb cut the arm of Michael before it entered the heart or the prey. The sharp cry of pain uttered by the lad recalled Ma- homet from his insane rage. The rush- ing attendants showed . pity for M1â€" :hael, but no one ventured a reman- strance against this adt of imperial VVA 7 moment's examinauon snow“. that the lad’s wound was not serious,_ being only a cut through the flesh. But as the‘pallor of his fright died away. from his face it- was followed by a deep flush of anger. Tears of ven- tion filled his eyes. His glance at scorn was hardly swifter than his leap; for with a bound his arms were around the W’s body. while his weight dragged mm from the saddle to the "ground. lla- and made several hasty passes at his assailant. who. however. dextroual! avoidéa them.

His experience with such cases taught him that this lethargic spell must be broken at whatever cost. A peculiar instrument of .torture was a frame set with needles pointing, in- ward. -; ,into, this, sometimes a culprit was placed and' the frame screwed so- close about the person that he could not move from a ilxed position withbut forcing the“ needles into his flesh. This frame was put about the boy. He star- ed stupidlyut the approaching points. but did not shrink. Selim pressed one of the needles quickly. Instantly the boy uttered a cry of pain. His face blanched with fright. The tears sprang to his eyes, and through them came an agonizing look of eutreaty. Selim’s whole manner changed as suddenly. “Bravo, my little hero!” he cried. catching him to his arms. “You are of the metal of the invincibles, and henceforth only valiant deeds. bright honors and endless pleasures are to be yours. ~You shall lodge with me to- , night}!
