A BOLD YOUNG PIRATE.

He had the air of man of the world.
His dress was becoming and not too
snowy. He seemed to be an individual
who had dined well, who would tell good
stories at the club.
S retched out in the BARRIERS chair in
the hairdresser's room on School street,
instead of settling down with that indif-
ferent, self tisfed air that usually comes
over man in that situation, ne seemed
troubled. He looked about from chair to
chrir, yet he was not happy. The barber
shaved him and was so impressed that he
even forgot to talk him to death. Then
the man sat bolt upright in the chair and
took an envelope from his pocket. 1t was
scented; the barber could tell that. 1t
was written in a lady's hand, too.
The strange man opened it, took out
note. read it over and over again, then
from its folds withdrew lock of hair. It
was golden, and the victims who were
waiting for their turn In the chair saw
him kiss the sunny lock and put it back In
the envelope.
Hair cut ?" asked the bar Der, as he
rubbed the tufts of hair which surrounded
bald spot on the strange mans head.
mo, no, not for the world" he replied.
II cannot spare any.
Man in next chair has hair like yours,
only little more of it," suggested the
barber.
"By Jove, he has," said the troubled
man, ard he darte1 out of his seat aud al
most jumped to the occupant of the next
chair.
"Going to have hair cut?" asked the
strange man.
NO" was the rather curt reply.
"Well. will you have hair cut at my
expense? said the man without hesita-
ton. Il must send my best girl a lock of
hair, and | can't spare mine. Come, how
much is it worth p and the eyes Of tie

bepond his forehead.
''S.ll it for small bottle!" replied the
man with a good growth on his head,
and the stranger answered: ''Pll go
you"
The barber began his work and lock
of the mans hair was handed over to the
stranger, who put it in little silver locket
that bore monogram. Thsn, when the
work was finished, the two walked out to-
gether.
The stranger was smiling contente dly,
the club man grinned, the barber laughed
and the customers gazed on in astonsh-
ment.
Wasn't Charley dear, good fellow
to keep his promise and send me lock of
his hair?" said the pretty girl that night
as she took the dalntiest sort of locket
from a little box And all was still but
for the beating of her faithful heart

Later about one hundred brown loaves
were heaped In the street for distribution.
Some hungry Jewish women aud children
began to eat from some of the loaves, and
the mob, perceiving this, threw itself up
upon them and all but killed them. In
Pensa very similar scenes happened. Here
forty-f four houses were demolished. and
the attempt was made to blow up the Jew

only the front part of the building was

Facts like these, pictures like this one

TRIP ACROSS INDIA.
In book intended to guide other horse
men who may desire to initiate him, Lieu
tenant Varges of the Austro-Hungarian
army has made public the details of his
recent trip across India. He rode 1900
miles in ninety-four days. and crossed 124
rivers, only three of which were bridoed
His expenses were little less than $50,
Of which $40 was for food for himself. his
servant and his horse The total cost of
mis- trip from his home and back was $3.50.
The inexpensiVeness of his trip, as well
as the soundness of his health throughout
it, Lieutenant Varges attributes to his
habit of eating only rice during his
journey on horse back. During the ride
he ate ITO pounds Of rice, his servant
seventy-fve pounds. For the first four
teen days Lleutenant Varges ate peppered
rice; then for three weeks curried rice.
Between the fifth and ninth week he ate
sugared rice. In the tenth week the rice
was sailed; in the eleventh, unseasoned;
in the twelfth, sailed, pepppred. curried
and sugared,
sarges concludes, rice is the only proper
food which can be relied upon safely to
keep man and beast strong and active
