:3lAL BY ORDEAL.
The Queer system That Exists In the
Sinai Peninsula


In the Sinai peninsula trial by ordeal
is still practiced In all criminal cases
where no witnesses are forthcoming
the judge, Eel mab0shaa," tests the
suspected person by fire. by water or
by dream. In the first the judge places
an iron pan in the fire until It is redhot
and gives it to the accused to touch
three times with his tongue, If marks
of burning are shown on the tongue
the accused is pronounced guilty. The
theory apparently is that If he is not
guilty the moisture on the tongue pre-
vents it from being burnt; if guilty his
tongue would dry up from fear of be
ing discovered.
The test by water Is described as fol
lows. The mabashaa' sits with the
accused and the spectators in a circle
with a copper jug full of water placed
in the center. This jug is then made
to appear to move round the circle by
means of witchcraft or hypnotlsm. If
the Jug returns back to the judge the
accused is pronounced not guilty, but
if the jug stops opposite the accused
he IS pronounced guilty
This description is rather wanting in
detail and it is difficult to know how
a jug which only appears to move can
be a trustworthy index. In the test by
dream the "mabashaa" sleeps and sees
in a dream if the accused IS guilty or
not-Chicago News.

And then the prince" he said slow

"Ah," she cried, her own eyes falling

Yes. first I've to find the slipper.
And when it IS fouu,. I've the advan

MAY | put it to the test?" he begged.
ooh, Fainthcart" she whispered
mockiugly Try and see
Whcrcat Dudley began most pecul-
lar course of behavior Going quickly
| around the corner of the cabin, he
bumped his head softly several times
against the logs, gave himself a VIC
lent shake and then strobe through the
trees to the low rock in the little clear
ed space at the edge Of the bluff. Sit
ting down. he plunged an empty hand
into the deep pocket and brought it out
fun OF Il stout brown walking boot of
small dimensions.
To his credit be it said that there
was self dcuunCatiOn in his aspect as
he sat turning it miserably over and
over. Oh, yes; of course he'd had 1t
there all the while. Well, hadn't he
tried to let her have it at the very
first, ana didn't she keep interrupting
till he couldnt-that is to say, didn't
want to: Suppose he was the biggest
cad on record. he'd wager no fellow
ever had a better excuse. Hang 1t!
What did she have to look at him that
way for: How could he deliberately
hand the thing over and put an end to
the happieSt few moments he'd ever
spent or ever expected to spend, for
that mattcrf For surely by this fool
ishncss he'd dished any prospects of
further acquaintance about as effec
lively as possible. Well anyhow, this
was torture; might as well have the
confession over with and 20 off and
shoot himself
In three minutes he was back. The
trial trip had taken twenty to nayi-
gate She was waiting and still alone
Oh, yes; rub it in. She might have
cared if he hadn't spoiled it all.
Most eager knight she called in
greeting. WAS ii wings? Nothing
else could lave taken you down the
raviuc ana up again in this time"
For answer hc knelt without a word
and put the fateful shoe in place with
elaborate care. He would have that
privilege before he forfeited her favor
forever. Then
Il found il in the ravine before
climbed up at ALL" he said abruptly.
1t was i'm my pocket all the while.
Now send me away. for | can't go un-
less YOU do"
But Cinderella leaned forward to take
his rcmorscful face between two but
terfy hands.
"Oh, boy, boy she cried softly;
most innocent OF boys, Did you think
| didn't know? I saw you pick it up
down below no, you shall have all the
truth; it fell let it fall because I
saw YOU
Just then Tom Hutton, coming
around the corner of the house, de
cided ne could quite as well postpone
his errand
