The Indian government gave out
later on that he took to the Jungle and
died there of fever. This was a con-

was no lot or title Of proof to, SUBJ

really believe very strenuously in II

that they continued long afterwards to
offer periodical rewards for his cap

said to be he, but whose Identity was
afterwards disproved. was arrested by
their orders at Gwaltor.

Is Gen. Gordon dead? OF course.
There can be only one answer to that
solemn question-an equally solemn
affirmative
Nevertheless, 1t is a curious fact
that there are living, at this present
moment, some millions of people who
firmly believe that the question should
be answered In the negative.
All over the Southern and Central
Sedan, the natives are quite certain
that the Great White Pasha" is only
biding his own good time to reappear
and rule over them once more. .

him best. "Disgusted with the treat

himself rather than return to Eng
land"
Thousands Of Irish peasants hold "a
somewhat similar belief with regard

heart was, for the time being, ire
trievably lost, SO he arranged a pre-
tended death and a sham burial, in
tending to return to life and his tenn

time should be sufficiently opportune."
"Ridiculous." you say. Of course 1t
is. But the belief is widespread and
mistaken among an otherwise shrewd
and not particularly imaginative peo-
pie.
Very weird and very pretty is the
story which has grown up in Burma

thousands of Buddhist priests in hun

Queen Victoria, they aver, was once
a Burmese maiden, and they explain
their extraordinary allegation in this
wise.
