Content 1 feel that our young fellows, as they enter upon their trades,
should have more skillful fingers, more inventive power
‘Then they would desire to do differently from their fathers
and grandfathers and become advanced workmen instead of
plodding forever through life at a scanty existence. ‘The
missionary movement is taking this form even in dark Afric,
nd if not during my opportunity with these boys it will some
day be true here.”

‘Miss Shartuck's presence e
class of people. Among the Turks her masterfulness and
ability to bend men and events to her wi
them,

‘The story is told by her servant, Hagopjan, of her trip
to Ibrahim Pasha’s camp, three days’ journey by horse-
back, to secure protection for her Orphanage farms. which
were terrorized by the raids of his horsemen, Scouts in-
formed the Pasha of the approaching party and he, himself,
‘came considerable distance on foot to meet them, an atten
tion he was never known to pay to any man, He took Miss
Shattuck very courteously by the arm, as soon as she had
dismounted, and led her into his tent of audience to the place
‘of honor by his right hand, The great tent was crowded to
the door with Arabs. Afterward he invited Miss Shattuck
into the inner apartments where his chief wife received her
cordially and proceeded to prepare dinner with her own
hhands. When dinner was served both of the wives of the
Pasha sat at the meal unveiled.

‘The first afternoon, according to the Arab custom, the
Pasha asked no questions as to Miss Shattuck’s errand. So
she did not suggest the subject until evening when the Pasha
invited her to do so. ‘Then he called the three Arabs who
cultivated the Orphanage farms and had accompanied Miss

Shattuck, and charged them to be free from any: ansiety,
saying, “If a lamb of your villages is lose I will repay it with
a camel,

When it was time for Miss Shattuck to leave, the Pasha
held the stirrup of her horse for her to mount and walked
along some di her Godspeed. The two villages
were always absolutely safe after that trip and the Pasha
sent a beautiful blooded Arab horse as a pledge and token
‘of respect to Miss Shattuck.

Several times the Arabs tested her power 28 mediator
and she had many unusual experiences. The following story
is told in one of her letters: “Our good Arab, Hamed,
although innocent himself, belonged to a tribe a member of
which had killed an Arab of another tribe several years be-
fore, and the avenger was seeking Hamed. The Sheik had
promised safety till the end of the harvest, but all said T must
go and arrange for the man’s pardon. I left in the afternoon
in our springless wagon with my servant along with me.
‘The jolting hurt my poor weary head so much I felt T had
made a serious mistake to undertake the journey. In the
evening an Arab of a neighboring tribe entrented that we
remain in his big tent over night and we accepted. He
killed a lamb and prepared the usual feast, which we ate
by moonlight and then I slept. An hour after sunrise we
hhad bread and yoghourt and went on, T had heard while on
the way: that the Sheik was in the city and T prayed con:
stantly, ‘show me Lord, what I can do if I am to act at all;
I came for this.’ We held a conference with the head men
‘of both tribes who said T must go in person to those who de-
manded Hamed’s death. We
sons to go with us; one, a Chris
terpreter, and with a full wagon we came to the home of
the young man who had been killed.
