AN H0NEST NAME.
An Illinois Statesman Tells a Good
Story—Knew His Father's Son
Wonld Not Lte.
The Honorable Alva Merrill of Chil-
Iicothe, member for the Twenty-fourth
District, State of Illinois House of
Representatives tells an interesting
story:
Some two years ago Mr. Merrill
gave a testimonial stating that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured his rheumatism.
This with Mr. Merrill's portrait were
published In thousands of papers all
over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter were
the Honorable Mr. Merrill and sev-
eral other members. After a time
one of them said:
"Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?"
This attracted the attention of an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification of Mr.
Merrill and as goon as he heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand said:
"You are Alva Merrill and you
saved my life. I was most dead with
Lumbago and in an advertisement I
-taw your picture and your recommen-
dation of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I knew
our father, and I knew his son would
aot lie, and therefore I decided to try
.he Pills.
"I am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and I have been waiting this op-
portunity to thank you personally, for
had I not seen your recommendation
I might never have been led to use
this remedy, but, thanks to God,
through your honest name and the
honest medicine which you so heart-
ily recommended I am still alive.
"1 have been watching you sines
you got on the train at Springfield and
thought I recognized your face as the
one 1 had seen in the advertisement,
and as soon as this gentleman called
you by name, 1 knew you were the
nan 1 had to thank."
When a man comes out of a joint he
is not guilty unless he is wiping his
mouth.

CHAPTER XIX.—(Continued.)
He had taken her hand and was
raising it to hia lips; but she sud-
denly drew it from him.
"No! no! no!" she murmured.
"Pardon, lady. I meant no offense
The tone was one of grief.
"Oh—Julian! Julian! Leave me not
yet!"
She rested her freed hand upon his
arm and gazed up into his face. Her
eyes were streaming with tears ami
her bosom heaved convulsively.
"Lady—Ulin!"
"Julian!—O, in this hour of helpless'
ness and need I turn to thee with all
my trust and faith. If the love of this
poor heart is worth the cherishing,
take it, and keep it always. I have no
power—I have no choice. The light
of thy face, beaming in love upon me,
reveals to me that I am bound to thee
by chains which I cannot break."
She rested her head upon his bosom
and he, winding his stout arms about
her, pressed her to his heart as a treas-
ure the most precious that earth could
bestow.
The sun sank to its evening rest,
and the shades of twilight deepened
over the river and over the grove.
The stars came out, one by one, in
their celestial stations, and anon the
silver moon, lifting its face above the
hills of Hobah, cast its soft light into
the vale. Still the lovers sat beneath
the orange tree; and there they might
have sat late into the night, had not
Osmir come to interrupt them.
What did the guard want at that
hour and in that place. He sought his
master. Julian arose and went to him
and they whispered hurriedly togeth-
er; and then L'iin was sure that she
heard the Arabs mentioned.
"Ulin," said the chieftain, coming
back and taking her hand, "you might
So with me to the cave. I am called
in another direction."
"What is it? You tremble. Ah,
Julian—there is danger."
"No, no, sweet love; harbor not that
fear. I go to ward off danger. O, I
have something more than life to care
for now."
At this point Selim came running
up, all out of breath; but before he
could speak his master stopped him.
"I understand, good Selim. Osmir
has told me—"
"But—my master—"
"In a moment. Wait till I come
back."
And thus speaking Julian led the
maiden to the cave.
"Excuse me now," he said, raising
her hand to his lips. "I will be back
shortly. You will not fear?"
CHAPTER XX.
A King's Story.
The first person whom Ulin met
after entering the cave was Ezabel,
who stood by a table upon which a
lamp was burning.
"My dear child, I was just coming
In search of you. Wre were anxious.
What—have you been in tears? Ulin,
what is it? What has happened?"
The maiden, in memory of the great
event of the evening, forgot the cause
of fear that had been with her. It
was a secret she could not keep—a se-
cret she had no wish to keep; and
resting her head upon Ezabel's shoul-
der, she,told tne story of her love.
"Dearest Ulin," said the aged ma-
tron, kissing the maiden upon the
brow, "he Is worthy of the trust you
have reposed in him!"
At that moment Albia come in from
the grove wnere she had been in
search of her mistress; and very soon
see, too, had heard the story. She
gazed into Uiin's face a moment, and
then, with a tear glistening in her eye,
she murmured:
"I shall be very happy now, for
henceforth I can serve and love you
both!"
As Albia spoke, and before any reply
could be made, Julian came hurrying
Into the cave. He was much excited
and Ben Hadad saw a fear upon his
face such as had never been seen there
before.
"My son," spoke the hermit, "what
iueans this? Your manner betokens
danger."
"And there is danger," cried the
young chieftain, moving instinctively
to UUn's side. "I fear that I have been
much to blame. I should have been
warned by the words of Osmir and
Selim. Those two Arabs have evident-
ly discovered our abiding place."
"Well—and what then?" asked Ben
Hadad.
"1 think tuey have brought a large
force against us."
"Whut of Arabs? Do they mean to
rob us?"
"Perhaps," suggested Abia, "they
hope to rucapture what thoy have
lost."
Ulin moved to Julian's side, ami
leaned upon his stout arm. He kissed
her upon the brow and bade her be
ol' good courage; and tbeu Us said to
uie others, in answer to what had been
suggested:
"1 fear the truth has not yet been
hit. If the Arabs are earning, as I
apprehend, there may be another solu-
tion to the problem. Those two ras-
cals who escaped us could easily have
followed us to this place. WTe were
not looking for such a thing, and so
(lid not guard against it. They knew
that the maiden who had been
snatched from them was the daughter
of the king's prime minister; and may
they not have known that she was the
king's affianced? At all events, it is
not unreasonable to suppose that they
may have anticipated some gain of re-
ward by carrying intelligence to Aboul
Cassem. If they have done this, then
they must also have revealed the
whereabout of the Scourge of Damas-
cus."
A low cry of pain from Ulin told
how directly the fear had touched her;
and again her lover sought to calm
her.
"We must leave this place," he said,
"and seek shelter in the wood. _You
and I and Albia will go, and the guards
will join us outside. I know where
there is safety, so have no fear. Should
the rascals come they will not harm
these old people; they will not dare to
do it."
Ulin had drawn a mantle about her
shoulders, and Julian had turned to
speak apart with Ben Hadad, when
Osmir came rushing into the cave,
with terror depicted most painfully
upon his ebon features'.
"They are coming!" he cried. "They
have sprung upon us from a hidden
cover."
Who are coming?"
"They are the king's soldiers, led
by the captain, Benoni!"
On the next instant the clash of
arms was heard at the entrance.
"Back, back, sweet love," said Ju-
lian, gently pushing the maiden to-
wards her chamber. "There may yet
be hope."
He grasped a sword as he spoke, and
leaped toward the entrance; but be
was too late. Already a score of arm-
ed men were rushing in, a number of
them bearing flaming torches in their
hands.
"Come, good Osmir," the chieftain
cried, bracing himself for the work.
'Capture for us is certain death. We
can do no better than to sell our lives
here."
One—two—three—four of the royal
soldiers fell beneath the lightning-like .
strokes of Julian's trenchant blade;
and in the same time Osmir had slain
two; but it was not in the roll of fate
that two were to overcome the force
that came pouring into the cave. A
flaming torch was hurled upon the
chieftain, and while he staggered be-
neath the blinding stroke he was
drawn over backwards and his arms
quickly pinioned. The next move-
ment was to secure Ulin and Albia,
after which Ben Hadad and Ezabel
were taken.
"Will you lay violent hands upon
me?" demanded the hermit.
"I am ordered to bring you all be-
fore the king," replied Benoni; "all
whom I might find in this cave. I
mean to offer you no harm, so If you
have complaint to make, save it for
those who command me."
While the captain was searching
other apartments, to see if more pris-
oners were to be found, Julian felt a
hand laid upon his shoulder, and on
looking up he beheld Judah.
"So, my noble chieftain, you are
fast once more. The guard played us
false, It seems, and I came near losing
my head in consequence; but my royal
master will pardon me when he sees
you again."
CHAPTER XXI.
Innocence of Helen.
The king of Damascus had grown
very old and very sour within those
last few days. Rage and chagrin had
so shaken his frame that he seemed
stricken with palsy; and his voice,
from its howlings and moanings, had
become hoarse and cracked. But he
had promise of sweet revenge. Hts
soldiers were upon the track of tho
fugitives', and he believed tbey would
bring them back. O, how he would
gloat over the sufferings of his vic-
tims when they came within his
power!
"I toll thee, Aboul Cassem," he said,
addressing hia minister, "the fair, frail
Ulin must suffer for this. She is no
longer your child; I shajl not regard
her as such.
Aboul bowed his head, and answered
that he was content.
Omar could not help noticing that
his friend was in trouble, and he took
the liberty to ask what had gone
wrong.
"Alas!" cried Ilorain, "everything
goes wrong." And he told how he had
put away all hts wives for the daugh-i
ter of Aboul Cassem, and how she had,
betrayed him and fled from him. And'
then he told how he had once captur-
ed his dreaded enemy, the Scourge of
Damascus, and how the prize had
slipped through his fingers by means
of the treachery of his slaves.
| "By my life," exclaim, d Omar, "you
■ have been most sorely afflicted."'
[ "But the worst is yet to ba told."
I pursued Horam, clenching his hands.
| and gnashing his teeth. "The rcbb::r
j and the lady Ulin went off on the \
I same night, and I have every reason
to believe that she corrupted my
slaves to set him free. In fact, 1 am
sure she did. I think they will be all
within my power by tomorrow. O,
Omar, you have known much of ray
sorrow. I have grown old since we
last met—very old. In years I am but
the passing of two harvests ahead of
you; but in trial and trouble I have
left you far behind. The last time yon __
were in Damascus the first great trial
of my life came upon me. You remem-
ber It."
"Of what do you speak?"
"Why—of my wife—of the first wife
I ever had—of her whom 1 made my
queen."
"Do you mean the Lady Helena?"
"To be sure I do. Mercy! have you
forgotten ?"
"No," said Omar, shaking his head,
"I remember Helena very well. She
was the most bautiful woman I ever
saw."
"And as false as she was beauti-
ful," added Horam.
"Is it possible? r did not think she
would come to that."
"How!" exclaimed the king of Da-
mascus. "Does your memory fail
you?"
"What mean you, Horam? My mem-
ory is good."
"Then why do you wonder when t
speak of the faithlessness ot my first
queen? Was it not you'.self that gave
to me the proofs of her Infidelity? Did ^
you not show t„ me that she bad
fallen?"
"You speak In riddles," said the
king of Aleppo. "I remember that we
once suspected the young queen of be-
stowing her love upon a captain of
your guard—I think hfs name was Ja-
bal."
"Yes," responded Horam. "Jabal was
the man, and I slew him. It was your
evidence that convicted both him and
Helena."
"And was the queen guilty after
that?"
"Guilty after that?" repeated Ho-
ram, slowly and irresolutely. "What
mean you? Do you imagine that I
allowed her to live to commit more
crime?"
'In mercy's name," cried Omar,
"what do you mean by this speech? Do
you remember Sanballad and Ben
Huram?"
"Yes," replied Horam. "They were
two of my chamberlains, who accom-
panied you to Aleppo at the time of
which we have spoken."
"No," said Omar, "they did not quite
go to Aleppo. I sent them back be-
fore I reached my capital. They
brought to you my message?"
"I never saw them again after they
went away with you," returned Ho-
ram.
"Never—saw—them. Good spirits of
mercy! Are you in earnest, Horam?"
"Aye. If they started on their return.
they must have been robbed and kill-
ed, for I never saw them after they
left in your retinue."
The king of Aleppo clasped his
hands in agony.
"O, Horam! Horam!" he exclaimed,
"what a fearful mistake was that!
Bear with me—forgive me!"
"What is it, Omar?"
"Your beautiful queen was inno-
cent!"
"Innocent!" gasped Horam, starting
to his feet, and then sinking back
again.
"Yes, my brother," replied Omar, In
trembling tones, "she was as innocent
as in tbat natal hour when first she
rested upon her mother's bosom. At
Balbec we found a woman whom
some of my officers brought before me
supposing her to be the queen of Da-
mascus. She was very beautiful, and
so nearly did she resemble the queen.
Helena, that even I was at first de-
ceived. Her name was Jasmin, and
she told me that she had just fled
from Damascus and was waiting for
her lover to Join her. She said that
Jabal was her lover, and that he was
a captain of Horam's guard. The
truth flashed upon me in a moment, r
conversed with her until I had gained
her whole story; ahd then I knew th it
your queen was innocent. It was all
proved to me, as clear as the sun at
noonday. At flrst 1 had a thought of
returning myself, and bearing to you
the joyful tidings; but VisineBs urged
me on, and I sent Sanballad and Ben
Huram."
"And they did not come!" uttered
Horam, with his hands working ner-
vously in his bosom. "They did not
come—and my queen died."
"God forgive me!" ejaculated Omar.
"I would have given my own life .
Horam!"
