His Life For q Hand.

In little town or village in Glouces-
tershire there is a church which
contains the mortal remains of one of
the old Crusaders. In moldering eff
figy he is depicted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold eloquence is imaged
the form of his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image is bereft of one of the
hands, and the story runs that the
Crusader, while fighting in the east,
was made a prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin, who, before
executing judgment upon him. asked
him if there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave a newly welded
wife, who would bitterly mourn his
loss
"The love of woman is as feeting
BREATH" retorted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived: she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
ne could rest his soul. "Well. them"
replied Saladin, 81 will promise on my
oath as a soldier that If this mans
wife will cut off one Of her hands and
send it to me I will set him free to
90 to her" By tedious and slow jour-
neyings the message came. and she. in
all piteousness for him who was her
lover and her lord. caused her hand to
be cut off and sent it to the sultan.
who kept his word and set the Cru
sader free.-Notes and Queries.

brought up to the Twelfth street wharf
for that purpose. The firemen rem

impossible to get men to handle them.
During the storm and afterwards
great deal OF looting was done. Many
stores had been closed, their owners
leaving to look after their fam lies. The
wind forced in the windows and left
the goods prey for the marauders.
Ghouls stripped dead bodies OF jewelry
and articles of value. Captain Raj

troops here,

meeting of prominent citizens was held
at the chamber OF commerce and organ
