They could tle the herses to the waggen, and theao certainly could tell no tales. After they had dismounted the infernal drink p2rauaded thom that {y waa a useless task for eight men to remain on gaard. Four would soffice, and the rest cenld slesp. 'lo the four men who were to keep awake the walting for theic tarn seemed too leng, and vhsy agreed that two might sleep while toe other two remaloed true te the orders.

"'T propsse," continaed Safer, ** that we play a game of cheat. - The losar will have to watch, aad the wlaner may eleep." Maruf accepted ths conditions.

Then they eubstitated for the regular pawoa the frutte of the woods. Thewild pears became kings, the apples qieens; the castles were represented by scorua, the bishops by rose hips, the knights by nuta and 'the pawns by berries. Ths men thua provided, the game began by the light of the campfire. A» firat Befer held the advantage, but that inebriating drink overcame him little by little, so that he was not in condition to distinguish his pawne. He lost his queen and was very moar petng checkmated. 'Sefer, you are in a bad mess," remarked Maraf when he saw that the game was in his hands. "You are right. Iam as sleepy as the » *¢ Well, lie down in the name of Allah. I will watch for yeu." Sefer shook his friend's hand {in gratetal knowledgment of this sacrifice; and he thought he spoke to him, but he only dreamed it, for he fell asleep immediately. Maruf, on the contrary, kept his. eyes f/@pen, and leaning on his gun he looked at his sleeping cempanicn. nt that devilish drink began te murmur seftly : "Why don't yeu eitdown? You ceuld gee juet as well.' As soon a8 he was seated Satan again be- gan te tempt him. " Why do you tire you eyes? If yon shut one of them, you will sce with the ether jast as well as with both."

Abmanzade was not in the habit ef making a display ..f puxeion when he had to pass Ia hts immovable face no one could read wha:her hs decreed life or death.

Tho night was somewhat cloudy, but nod especially dark. He had visited his stables and barnyard and was on the point of returning to his house when he heard a peculiar hissing eacund near, and at the same iostant a lominous glow fell aroun him, as if e moon had suddenly emerged from the clouds. He looked up an al- most paralyzed at the alghd of a brilllant ball of fire descending threugh the with the speed of lightning, and hav a comet-like tall extending far up into the ens. . : The descent was only visible for a second, but in thst brief spsce he ssya he suffered an eternity ef unepsakabie terror. The ball struck the earth with a dull report 390 yards from where he was standing. It was some minutes be- fore he could recover the 'use of his limba, Then, running to the house, be aroused the family and several laborers about the place, te em & camet bad struck the earth and they had enly a few minutes ta Ilve.

They could not get close: than thirty yards en aoceunt of the heat and norleus fames of sulphur and gas which the stone ealtted. Ib gave out a ruddy glow, which illuminated the atmosphere for some distance arouad, by the light of which thoy coald see the grasa and twigs all about it ina circle of fifty ae more in diameter, burned and singed to ashes. Tho stone asizzled and ateamed, and ahot out jets of steam or vapor {rem ajthousand pores. Mr. Mattox and several neighbors visited it the next day, when he was able to get a closer view. By daylight it showed up a dull dingy black, ani wae fall of pores, which still shot eut jsta of vapar of an offensive amoll, which -almva stifled one. The stone fa evidently embedded in the geound fer soms distance, ani shows only about a foop above the surface.
