When they heard the noise they started on a run.

Raheel, having suspected something of the kind, induced Dr.De Forest to take another road, and as they turned the corner to enter the mission premises, they saw the rabble running in hot haste towards her mother's house, only to find that the bird had flown.
In the following summer she was married to Mr.Bistany, who was for eight years assistant of Dr.Eli Smith in the work of Bible translation, and for twenty years Dragoman of the American Consulate.

He is now Principal of a private Boarding School for boys, called the "Medriset el Wutaniyet" or "Native School," which has about 150 pupils of all sects.
He and his son Selim Effendi are the editors and proprietors also of three Arabic journals; the _Jenan_, a Monthly Literary Magazine, illustrated by wood-cuts made by a native artist, and having a circulation of about 1500; the _Jenneh_, a semi-weekly newspaper published Tuesday and Friday; and the _Jeneineh_, published Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

There is not a more industrious man in Syria than Mr.Bistany, and he is doing a great work in the enlightenment of his countrymen.
Raheel's home is one of affection, decorum, and Christian refinement, and she has fulfilled the highest hopes and prayers of her devoted foster mother, in discharging the duties of mother, neighbor, church member, and friend.

May every missionary woman be rewarded in seeing such fruits of her labors! In January, 1866, Sarah, one of Raheel's daughters, named after Mrs.
Sarah L.Smith, was attacked by typhoid pneumonia.
