THE LOST TRIBES FOUND
NFGHNNISTAN BELIEVED TO BF
THEIR HOME.
Manners and Customs of the People
Distinctly Suggest lsraelitc Origin
Names also Hebrew.

At last il seems to have been def
nitely decided that the lost tribes
found their resting place, or rather
abiding place, in Afgnanistan. In the
first place the Hebrew aspect of the
Afghan is striking, and in the second
place all the commonest names are
Biblical.
In England, such facts concerning
the Buffet State" between the Asian
empires of Russia and Great Britain
are familiar knowledge and are nat
urally revived more or less wildly at
present, owing to the war with Afri-
dis. Common Afghan names are Gu-
suf (Joseph), Iakub (Jacob), and Is
hak Usaac). DR.. Moore, who writes
at great length on the subject in the
current number of the Calcutta Re-
view. distinctly indicates an lsraelit-
ish descent and the modern Afghans
still call themselves Beni-lsrael. or the
children of Israel.
Nor will American students find
that sacred history conflicts with Af-
CHAN traditions. for its states that
the ten tribes were deportcd to Media,
and Mesopotamia. and adds in the
book of Esdras. that they travelled for
a year and a half to Il farther coun-
try. called Arsareth. If Arsareth Is
Afghanistan, many striking clrcum-
stances are explained. such as that of
the hill of Takht-i-Suleman (Seat OF
Solomon). having been so called. ac-
cording to tradition, before the rise
of Mohammedanism, and that one

" suggest Israelite origin. Such are
the obligations of marrying deceas-
eds brothers widow. and the capital
punishment of stoning. But the very
strongest evidence of all is discovery
of DR.. Moore. which ought. if estah-
lished beyond doubt, to settle the
question. He states that a number
of archaic Inscriptions exist in Af-
ghauistan which cannot be interpret
ed by any other means than transla-
ton into ancient Hebrew. when their
sense becomes clear.

SYMPATHETIC INKS.


Perhaps the most dangerous SYM
pathetic ink is one that was described
in a French scientific journal at the
beginning of 1SS3-at least, it might
prove to be so in INSCRIPTIONS hands.
IT consists of an aqueous solution OF
iodide of starch In four weeks char
acters written with it disappear, pre-
venting all use or abuse of letters,
and doing away with all documenta-
ny evidence of any kind in the hands
of the recipient. But a recent dis
covery by Professor Braylands of the
University of Louvain, surpasSes all,
inasmuch as no ink at all is required
to convey secret message. He lays
several sheets of note paper on each
other, and writes on the uppermoSt
with pencil; then selects one of the
under sheets on which no marks of
writing are visible. On exposing this
sheet to the vapor of iodine for few
minutes it turns yellowish, and the
writing appears of violet brown col
or. On further moistening the paper
it turns blue, and the letters show in
violet lines. The explanation is that
note paper contains starch, under a
pressure becomes hydramide and
turns blue in the iodine fumes. 1t is
best to write on a hard desk, say a
pane of glass. Sulphurous acid gas
can make the writing disappear again
and it can be revived a second time.

CHAPTER YTIT.

Hendricks called a cab at the door
and drove to the Office of Capt Welsh.
lie found Welsh pacing the floor in a
fever of impatience.
81 thought you would never thrn up
in the world" SAID Welsh, as they took
seats. "It seems to me that everything
is at a staudstill. The city is wild with
excitement and demanding that some
thing be done"
Hendricks shrugged his shoulders as
if he had only half heard the remark
and had been disturbed in some train of
thought. He reached for a cigar in
box on the captains desk, bit the end
of it, and then seemed to sink into a
rcyerie again.
Welsh stared at him a moment in
ycXation, then he said:
Il was on the watch myself at the
mayors last night. About ten o'ciocl,
l saw Mrs. Walters slip out on the lawn.
She came very cautiously from the
rear of the house. / saw her stoop to
pick up something near where your um-
brella was left, and then she returned
by the front door"
Hendricks nodded slowly, but did not
look up from the spot on the carpet
at which he had been staring for sew
eral minutes. Welsh flushed slightly
and went on awkwardly:
81 had expected to find out lot about
her early life from lady friend OF
mine. but, as bad luck will have it,
the lady has left the city for the sum
mer and / don't exactly know where
she. has gone. was thinking of hunt
ing her up and going to see her, if you
/ think"
Hendricks rose abruptly.
81 must write a letter" he said. "Give
me some paper, please"
Welsh's face fell as he rose and drew
some writing materials from a drawer
and put them before the detective.
do you want me to cease my investi-
gations?" he asked, impatiently.
Hendricks dipped a pen in the ink
well, and as he did so he looked up and
caught sight of the captains face.
"Oh, hang it aH, captain!" he said
pardon me; / have not heard half OF
what you were saying. / only caught
enough at the start to know that you

must have your assistance at this point,
and l wanted to put you into a more
hopeful humor. think may add that
there is no one so deeply concerned in

inal as you are"
That's true" said WILDLY, "and /
feel so pleased with what you have just
said that / would work my fingers to
the bone to help YOU"
do you think, Mr.. Hendricks" asked
| Miss Delmar, that, you don't succeed
in capturing the criminal, the circum-
stances surrounding the affair will re-
fleet on Mr.. Whidby?"
I'm way, yes, decidedly" was the
reply. "There is not, | think, quite
enough evidence to convict Mr.. WILDLY,
but the circumstances are very awk-
ward. If we don't catch some outside
party half the world will continue
to believe Mr.. WILDLY guilty"
'Contnue?" asked Miss Delmar, with
a sudden upward glance; then you
think-?"
That public opinion is about half
divided? Yes. You see, even if we
offer the theory of hypnotism, it won't
go down with the orthodox world,
which doesn't believe in such things.
BY reading the papers you viii see
that there is really great deal of hon
est doubt Of Mr.. Whidby's innocence
in all parts of the country"
THAT'S true" sighed the girl. ooh
