WHEN A FELLER S TIRED OUT.
Th*- prospects o’ the future are mightily
in doubt—
So colors in the rainbow when a feller’s
tired out!
When he's toiled in barren vineyards, an’
"Toll on!-" storm-voices shout—
Oh, he faces starless heavens—that feller,
tired out!
When he gives unto the homeless a shelter
*n‘ hearsTto sweet “God bless you!" from
the Hunger he has fed,
Is it any wonder, people, that the Night
falls round about?
Oh. a fi ller's tired out then—.a feller's tired
out!
The toilin’ would be sweeter, if he knew,
when toil was dune.
An' he thought of rest an' dreamin’, an'
said "Good-by" to the sun,
There M be lights in glad, sweet windows,
like stars o'er stormy foam.
An' hearts to time his footsteps, where
Life's highway ends in "Home!"
llut when never falls a blessing on the
tired slave of a day,
An' tin: wh let slip Life's lions—crouched
cruel, in the way,
I tell you, earth's a desert, an' heaven
itself in doubt,
An' a feller's tired out, friends—a feller's
tired out!
An' I think, when Life is ended, with
its sorrows an' its sighs,
An' the faith-formed light of Heaven dawns
on his dreamin' eyes.
If there's tiny rest hereafter his will never
be in doubt—
Six feet o' dust tin' daisies for that feller
—tired out!

THE RUSE OF
MELEK HANUM
By HELEN D. JENKINS
Tin heart of a fool is in his tongue; the
tongue of a wise man is in his heart.—
Turkish proverb.
SULEIMAN EFFENDI could not get
along with his wife. No unusual
case, you will say, hut uncomfortable,
nevertheless. Melek Hanum had
seemed attractive when he married her
some five years before; she was fat ami
white, and made excellent coffee; but
now he hated Iter and could scarcely re
strain his irritability when in her pres
ence. He declared to his neighbor, Meh
met, the grocer, that she was a shrew,
scolding continually and never giving
him a moment's peace. Mehmet tried
to soothe his irritation, but in vain, and
ane day he spoke the1 fatal words of di
vorce. and Melek Hanum was led weep
ing to her father's house.
For a month Suleiman was gay in his
freedom, and declared himself the hap
piest of men to be relieved of that clack
ing tongue; but the next month his
wifeless, childless house was lonely, and
he resolved to take a second wife. He
told Mehmet. the grocer, of his inten
tion. and asked the services of Mehmet's
wife. Nahseli. in procuring him a suit
able one.
When Mehmet told Nasheli Hanum.
she was sad for her friend Melek, who
was pining in her father's small and
crowded house.
"Melek is a good woman. Mashallah!
■the was indeed an angel*, true to her
husband, and a sweet creature.”
Mehmet Effendi shook his head com
niiserately. and continued to draw in his
coffee with noisy lips.
Nahseli Hanum found Suleiman un
grateful. and went so far as to generalize
the statement.
•‘For five years she has kept his house
clean and his clothes in repair, and has
cooked excellent meals for him, I my
self c an tell of her luscious dolmas and
rich preserves. And she has driven him
no trouble, always going carefully
veiled and looking at no man. Men do
not know when they have a good wife.'*
Nahseli talked to the women of the
neighborhood when they sat on the
sunny hillside on Friday afternoon, and
Mehmet told his friend at the coffee
house of Suleiman’s desire for a new
wife. Much sympathy was excited for
Melek. and finally the neighbors deter
mined a trick on Suleiman if they could
win Melek’s consent and cooperation.
Half a dozen of the neighborhood
called on Melek llanura. and while the
air was pungent with the smoke of their
cigarettes, proposed their plan to her.
She was to be passed off to Suleiman
as a new wife, and when he found him
self remarried to her—“Eh Allah knows
what will happen, but it may be for the
best.” Melek was excited, and by turns
coy and eager, but was finally won over.
Suleiman was told that a suitable wife
was found for him. one with whom he
would be very happy, a widow, so there
need be no grand wed Mmr.
On the morning of a da., three months
after the divorce, the civil marriage wa.-'
celebrated. A proxy for the groom de
clared his willingness to take the wom
an; a proxy for the bride declared her
willingness to become his wife. Mehmet
and Ali the shoemaker, were witnesses,
and Fikret, the inrpan. read a prayer
from the Koran. Neither Suleiman nor
Melek were present.
In the afternoon Nahseli Hanum and
two other neighbors escorted Melek to
her husband's house, and with many
giggles placed her in the room where
she was to await him. She was dressed
in a shiny white dress, with a gayly
painted handkerchief tied over her hair,
and was heavily perfumed with rose oil.
She was very nervous and a little in
dined to be tearful, but Nahseli Hanum
bade her take heart, for all would be
well.
Suleiman dined with his friends at 12
o'clock Turkish, and at two o’clock,
when darkness had settled down upon
the evening, he was told he could go in
to his bride. But she had imposed a
curious condition; for a whole- night he
must not light the candle.
When Sleiman s neighbors had left
him. laughing in their sleeves at the
joke, he entered the dark room. A strong
scent of rose and a shimmer of white
led him to the sedia where Melek sat,
cold and shaking.
He took her Hand and welcomed her
to his house; she replied by monosylla
bles. thus showing herself a modest
woman, not over free with her tongue.
As the night advanced. Suleiman fell
| into a sentimental mood, and rehearsed
, with much self-pity his trials with hi3
first wife.
"I assure you. Hanum." he said, "she
was quite impossible to live with, so
cross and annoying; with you I will al
ways be tender, but with her I was
forced to be rough. Allah! how she
bored me!—talk. talk, talk! Truly it is
said that one word provoketh at: i.er,
1 and often 1 answered her sharply. ! tit
I could never put her down. It is good
advice to a woman: ‘Open your eyes,
but not your mouth.’ ” And so he maun
dered on about his past troubles.
Melek said nothing, but he felt her
sympathy so powerfully that he grew
eloquent in abuse of his poor first wife,
all the time assuring her of his devotion
to this amiable woman at his side.
With the passing hours he grew more
expansive, and told his wife tales that
he would never have confessed in Tiie
I light. As he had detested Melek he had
not thought it necessary to be loyal to
her; no. with cruel triumph he told his
bride how he had deceived the other
woman as often as he could. He had
made eyes at the inman’s wife, and had
one day kissed the housemaid of the
pasha who lived in the great house: he
had lifted the veil of the girl who came
to draw water at the fountain. He re
counted his unfaithfulness with pride.
“For. Hanum Effendi. such a woman
could expect nothing else from her hus
band. She was not so bad looking.” he
reflected, ‘‘but as our proverb runs,
Without she is a doll, within a devil.’ ”
Poor Melek was as still as any doll
now, scarce daring to breathe, for fear
of pouring out sobs and grief.
At length Suleiman noticed her si
lence. and felt a sudden strong desire to
; see this quiet, plump creature to whom
he had been unbosoming himself.
“Hanum,” he begged. “I know you
are as beautiful as you are sweet, to you
I will ever be a true and loving husband;
but let me see your face, light but once
the candle and let me see the counte
nance of her whom I swear to cherish as
the apple of my eye.”
Melek could endure no more: she has
! tily struck a match and lit it to the
candle, revealing to the amazed »ulei
man the woebegone face of the wife iie
had been abusing.
Suleiman was filled with horror at
his cruelty. The pale, tear-stained face
of his wife cut him to the heart; he
thought with distress of all he had said
to her. In the candle light she looked
pretty and lovable, and he had hurt her.
He fell upon his knees and kissed her
feet, pressing them to his breast, he
begged her in piercing tones to forgive
him. and trust him for the future. He
called himself a brute, and her his angel
returned to him. In short, he made his
peace with the patient wife, who was all
too ready to listen to his pleading.
Both Suleiman Effendi and Melek
Hanum learned levsons from this ex
perience. and after it understood each
other's needs and peculiarities better
than before. Remorse kept the hus
band true to his wife, and the sharp ex
t>erience curbed her somewhat restive
tongue. Thus it came about that Sulei
man and Melek lived together until old
age in harmony.

"I’m sure It was 1900,’’ said the

the New York Sun.
“i'm sure of it. because we were liv

"Well, I know it was 1902,” said the
other, with heat. "The St. Louis fair
was last summer and that happened
just two years after the Pan-Ameri
can.”
“Henshaw knows everything,” said
the 1902 man, ‘‘and he’s probably in
his office now. loot's ask him.”
They stepped through a marble hall
way and said: "Out, ten,” to the ele

Against a background of law books
Hensharv looked learned enough. His
answer to their question was prompt.
“The Pan-American exposition.” he
declared, “took place in 1899.”
