low Deadly Blood Tcuds Are waged In
tho Khyber Pass.
During the time I have been in In
dia, writes a soldier correspondent, the
most interesting period was when | was
stationed on duty for three months some
years back in Landikotal, on the Al,
ghanistan side OF the far famed Khyber
pass. Here 1 was able to foroibly real
ize the meaning OF vendetta, !" az the
characteristic blood feuds of the Afridis
are quaint and interesting.
The pass itself is q neutral zone be-
tween India and Afghanistan. but we ex-
ercise our dominion over the road that
winds it's way for 81 miles through the
marrow valley. Here, as elsewhere in
Afghanistan, blood feuds are a recog-
nized institution among the tribes and
last through generations. the dishonor
resting with that family who last suf.
fered from some defeat or treacherous
murder.
When an encounter ccu between
Two tribes occupying settlements on OPP
posite sides Of the road mentioned, one
or other must cross IL before commeno-
ing firing. as firing ACROSS the road is
prohibited, but IN either side they can
exercise their friendly feelings toward
each other without hindrance.
But still quainter ia it when the
feuds are between close neighbors. Each
family, with near relations, occupies a
number Of mud hutS. inolosed In q
square surrounded by a thick. high wall
Of mud, stone and wood At one CORNER
OF these squares is built . watch tower
so feet high, where the family marks
man takes his position and playfully
picks OF any unfortunate who shows
himself in the next square. Oonstitn-
stionals are therefore confined on both
sides and limited to nightly prowh.-

FATHER 1AMBERr's DIPLOMACY.


Settled q Quarrel Over = Church Fair Con-
test So as to Satisfy Both Factions.
HACKENsAcK. N. J.. Oct. 19.-Father Lambert
Of st. Mary's parish has proved himself a
shrewd d~iplomatist and avoided a serious
difficulty in his congregation. There was a
fair in the parish last week with a voting con-
test for a diamond bracelet to be given to the
most popular young woman in the parish. The
contest settled down to a race between Miss
Julia Conrad and Miss Mary Wellintz.
just before the polls. closed on Saturday
night Garry Dawson. the brother-in-law Of
Miss Wellintz. handed in a sealed envelope
containing money for votes. which he said
must not BIO opened until the polls closed.
This started q discussion that nearly ended IN
O. fight. The champions of Miss Conrad in
sisted that every vote must be recorded openly,
while the other side howled in derision. Father
Lambert at last obtained a hearing. and said
he would reserve his decision. which would be
Just. This restored a semblance Of order, but
the opposing factions INDUCED in bitter per-
sonal quarrels long after the fair closed.
To-day Father Lambert presented the, brace
let to Miss Conrad and gave Miss Wellintz a
diamond ring. Now both sides claim the vic
tory. Mr.. Conrad is SO elated over his daughter
being declared the belle of the First ward that
he is to give q ball In her honor next Wednes-
day evening, when she will wear the diamond
bracelet.
This incident, with other features. made the
fair an unexpected financial success.
