Both the captain and his passengers seemed to treat the spectacled man with great respect, as well the3 might, ,for he was no less a- personage than the famous German professor, Herr Julius Allensrtlein, who had just come out to the H013 Land for the third time, in: order to dig up a few more “antiques” for the Berlin museum. As every eastern. traveler knows, it is no joke to get ashore at Jafia, which is merely an open roadstead with a dan- gerous reef right across it, upon which the waves break so furiously that it. is often impossible to land at all. Hence the captain thought- it best to- takce. the professor ashore in. his own boat. But. just .as Heri Altenstein 33 as. step- ping toward the gangw a3 , a gaunt, ragged, wild—looking figure started up right in' his path, crying in a. queer jumble of Italian, French and German. “Signor! Signor! Fine musicbcx. You buy him, me sell veg sheep.” The professm, anno3 d at being stopped, was going to 3push. past; but the poor Italian’ s hungry, woe-begone face touched his warm German; heart‘, and he felt. in his pocket for some small change, though without any idea of buying the musical box. “Fine box, signer,” repeat-ed the I-tal- ian, seeing that. he had mode some im- pression. “Play German song fine, ‘88!” 1 He touched the spring as he spoke, and instantly the musical box struck up “Die Wac’ht am Rhein " This was too much for the patriotic professor, who hastily dropped a hand- ful of silver into the Italian’ 5 extended palm, and thrusting the box into his pocket. plunged into the boat like a scared elephant. _Herr Altenstein 33' as half-way toland before he had done examining his new purchase, which was a. queer-looking affair enough. The spring be1_11<r quite hidden and the box itself completely ,coated with “grit-s” like the rough side .. of a matchbox it looked at first sight. just like a lump of sandstone. But its tone was so clear and sweet that the professor thought he had madea .Iver3 good bargain; and so indeed he had, though in a way of which he little dreamed jnsrt th..en .’l‘.11at. 3"~"'.13 night the professor and his dragoman rode across the: Plain of Sharon and through the hills of Abu- Gosh, 12p to Jerusalem. Herc he stay ed just long enough to get, 1. .e necessar3 “papers” fr01n.the 'l‘url: ish pasha. or governor, and then trotted ofi again along the steep nar— 1033' path that. winds through the tre- 1111'- ndous precipices between Jerusalem a ..d the Plain of Jericho Within two [(12135 of his landing, ourl ,energetic professor had got over the Jordan, and was right in among the. blue hills of Moab. where his work lay. It is easy enough to get workmen in Palestine when 3ou have apasha’ s or- der in your pocket, and easier still when you pay your men well, instead of making them work for nothing ll.(e the pasha himself. Herrr Altenstein d1d ’ not take long to muster a gang of tough, wiry, bare l1mbed Arabs able and willing to labor from sunrise till sunset on the hottest da3 in summer, provided they got enough pastres to make it. worth their while. The Arabs, however, although quite satisfied with the wages paid for their work. were sorely puzzled by the work itself. When they first saw Herr Alien- stein begin digging and grubbing among the stones and dirt. they naturally thought that he must be on the track of some of those “buried treasgres” about which the Syrian Arab tell so many strange tales. But when no treasure appeared, and they fpund the profess0r raking together broken bits of stone and rusty scraps of "old iron, they settled in their own minds that. he was an enchanter, who needed these seemingly worthless things in order to frame a magic spell ivy-which the buried money was to be discovered.

One hot afternoon the professor had wandered to a considerable distance from the camp in search of new spots to dig for relics. He was sitting in the shade of a bowlder, thinking Over allhe had done and all. that he meant to do, when suddenly there came gliding out. from between two g1 eat rocks right 1n frond? ofhim six or seven tall, 33' ildeey ed, fierce- docking Arabs, in. soiled white turbans and ragged blue frocks, every man with a long gun on his shoulder and a. huge knife in his tattered crim-- son sash Herr Altenstein knew at the first glance who these grim-looking fellows were, and what they wanted. But- he had not. lived for years in the cast with- .out knowing how to deal with Arabs. He never stirred from his place but only tu1 ned his head slo33'.'l3 iound, and looked full at them through his great green spectacles 33'-ithout uttering a word. 4, ' 7 Now, a story has got abroad about these spectacles, as about-everything else belonging to the “enchanter.” It 33 as said that. he had killed a tiger and put on its eyes 03 er his own, b3 which means he could find his way in the dark and see things which were to be seen by no one else. So when the su- perstitious robbers saw the glare of. these terrible “double eyes” turned full upon them the3 began to lose heart at once, to hang back as if the professor had been a loaded cannon. Then Herr Alt-enst-ein rose slowly to his full height and cried in Arabic: “Who are ye who dare to disturb me on my own ground?” The robbers looked scared, for an eastern brigand is always inclined to be afraid of any man who does not» seem at all afraid of him. But their chief thought of the buried money and nlucked- up courage. “Art thou the 33 estern enchanter?" asked he. “I am,” said the professor, sternly, “and I know well why ye come. You wish to seize me and make me bring I gold out of the earth for you; but. I fear not.” The brigands eyed each other in dis— may. Who was this man, who could read their secret thoughts? And who ~— ‘lk. _-'. l . "GIVE FORTH MUSIC!" 1 thus defied them all singlehandedfi But, scared though they were, they could not give up their hopes. of plun- der so easily. . “The wise man hath said: ‘Words are but dried lea3 es, deeds are fruit, ” replied the chief. “What proof dost thou give us that'- thou art an "en- chanter?”_ “Can the sons of the Arabs callforth music out of stones?” asked I-Ierr Al- te'nstein. “No, nor canst thou, swercd the robber. “I can. " rejoined the professor, sol— emnly, “and thou thyself shall; see it. Behold!” So saying, he wound 11p his musical boxmunder cover of the skirt of his loose robe, and then, feigning to pick up a stone, he placed the box—«whose gritty surface made it look exactly like one—on the'bowlder beside him and called out to it: “Give forth music!” .The first notes of “Die Wacht am. Rhein” had scarcely floated on the air when they were drowned by a bowl of dismay from the robbers, who turned and fled as if a lion were chasing them. One let. fall his gun; another broke his head against a. rock; a third fell sprawling into a ditch; a fourth upset- one of his flying comrades and tumbled over him.
