NJ. ID. CONWAY writes from Londcn !.
a curious story, by the way, comes to us
from India. The Viceroy had received
some oteace from Scindia, and could not
hVenge it openly; whereup?n he medita-
ted and took the following deeply deib-
Grated method of retaliation. When a
large number of native Princes came up
before him to make their obeisance, no
sooner did the offending Scindia enter
than the Vfceroy sprang forward with
unwonted etfusiyeness and kissed him on
both cheeks. Such contact from an alien
and Christian is the EXTREMIST taint
native can receive. Scandals own wives
would not come near him in one mo-
ment he sank in the eyes of all India
from Prince to Pariah, and ever since
the poor man has been undergoing puri-
flying ceremonials, costing Il large part of
his fortune to cleanse him from the Vice
regal kiss by which he was betrayed.

Why He FoUGHT.-A young gentle
man from Chicago TyiJune recounts
the adventure-was insulted in cafe in
Paris by professional bully and ducli;t
he must fight, and by judicious use of
stimuIants induced the timid soIl to send
challenge. The fatal morning came
and the enraged duelists confronted each
other on the Belgian frontier. Keep
cool ~ said the Chicago warriors second.
" Stick your sword into him--that's all
you have to do never mind any Of his
monkey shines, but go in just as if he
belonged to st. Louis and hadn't them
tom cat mustaches." Despite the as
surance that his friends, if worst came to
the worst, would have his remains put up
on ice and shipped to Chicago, the Amer
lean showed no signs Of fight until he
was face to face with the enemy, wher, to
the astonishment of the by ISLANDERS, be
parred and thrust like mailman and in
twenty seconds ran one ofthe best swords
men in Europe through the throat He
bears his triumph with modesty, for his
confidential advisers know the secret of
his sudden burst Of valor. When the du-
ell began the horrible thought flashed
across his mind that the undcrshirt he
had on had been worn week and was in
need of repairs, and that he would cut a
disgraceiu figure if he were wounded
and stripped.

TIE WONDERFUL CHILD. - What
family, where are children, is without the

10 unsympathetic ears And yet, some
how or other, those wonderful children,

chrysals stages, are very much the same
ms the ordinary run. If they be boys
they will have the same lack of conven-
tionalism in the matter of wearing their
toes outside of their boots, and their knees
ont of their brooches. If girls, they will
chew gum, and have an uneasy longing
for hustle.
Blifl has got wonderful child. Eve
ry day that he enters the office he has
something extraordinary, with reference
to that child, to tell his fellow-cerks.-
These latter are a peculiarly sensitive lot

just made at n small social gathering on

he replied, blushing.

the young lady reward the young man

Why, she never said word to him all
the evening, in fact never mentioned him
except to say to her reconciled lover,

THE Paris Patrie gives some particu-
lars about the 'treasure of Islam." 1t
says that all the pilgrims who visit Mecca
cast an offering into the three sepulchres
for the defence of Islam. The writer cal
culates that not less than So ,000, 900 II
year are thus contributed, and adds that
from one Of the scpulchres, which was
opened in 1929, immense sums were
drawn. Another sepulchre was opened
during the Crimean War, and now the
Sheik-ul-Islam has gone to Mecca to
draw funds from the third, which has not
been opened since 14l5. Taking the
three sepuehres together, it is computed
that they must contain about sl2O, ,OO0,-
600.

A Deep Game.
CHAPTER l.

a tall, well dressed Young man,
with strikingly handsome features,
and the grace of anApollo in manner
walked briskly along the principal
street of Pointville one chilly No
vember day.
He did not appear to be an in
habitant of the place, nor yet a
stranger there, for two or three of
the villagers who passed him, bow
ed politely, and called him "Mr.
Balfour."
It was a Sabbath morning, and
very few people were on the street.
The man did not seem to take
notice of anything around him till
he came to a respectable looking
tenement house. In front of this
he paused, glanced mp at a certain
pair cf windows in the second sto-
ry, and then stepping up to the
door, gave the bell-knob a sharp
pull. 1t was answered promptly
by neatly dressed maid-of-all-
work.
ais Mrs. Harcourt at homew p
"Yes, sir"
He brushed past the maid, and
sprang mp fight of stairs. On
the landing above he stopped In
front of door that stood ajar.-
He tapped lightly on it with his
hand, and then swung it open and
entered, without waiting for an in
vitation.
1t was q modest apartment tha'
he thus invaded, and yet not an un
pleasant one on that account. il
was simply. but by no means mean
" furnished, and although it wa
evidently the abode Of persons il
humble circumstances, there was
degree of womanly grace and tast'
displayed in the arrangement Of 1t
few effects that gave it an air o
refinement.
Reclining in an easy chair nea
the fireplace, with a small Bible II
, her hand, from which she was read
ing, was a woman Of some twenty
/. seven years of age. She must hav
been wonderfully beautiful in he
girlhood, for she was still YER
handsome, although every vestig

: cheeks, and sorrow had set its sei
i on her white forehead. The grea
!. dark eyes, whose brilliant beaut
$ must have been perfectly dazzlin
in the gay vivacity Of youth, an

/ they had been molified by suffel

A faint tinge Of color crept in
the woman's pale cheeks when 81
saw who her visitor was, and clio
