TURKISH WIFE'S REVENGE ON
FAlTHLESS HUSBAND.
Subtle Poison Brought Quick End to
Woman's Faded Romance-Reveia-
tion of a Tragic Secret OF
the Harem.

A Turkish subject who married an
American man and lived In this coun-
try for six years has recently revisit
ed the land of her birth. She has been
describing for Appleton Magazine
some of her experiences. Here is one
of them:
"Chakende Hanum was the daugh-
tetr of Nazim Pasha. She was edu-
Gated in the western fashion. She
was as beautiful as an houri, and as
good as Allah's own heart. She was
given as wife to Djamal Pasha,
young and dashing courtier. They
were very much in love with each 9TH
er, and he promised her that she
should remain his first and only wife.
Their marital life was blessed with
two boys and one girl. Chakende
grew more beautiful as happiness be-
came her daily portion.
"One day, when she was returning
with her retinue from visit she had
made in Stamboul on the bridge OF
Galata and in closed carriage, she
saw her husband in company with
foreign woman. That night when he
came home she questioned him. and
he only answered that the lady was
a foreigner Chakende Hanum un-
derstood that her husband did not
wished to be asked any more ques-
tions. Early in the morning, however.
she sent for her brother. and from
him she learned what was generally.
known.
She took a few of her slaves and
went to her country place. She stayed
there for several days, giving the situ
alton her whole thought; then she
came back to her husband. She told
him that she knew the truth, that
she had thought the matter over and
had decided to give him back his word
as to her remaining his only wife.
Thus he could marry the foreign lady.
1t was then that Djamal Pasha turned
her from Allah. He laughed at her.
and said that Mile. Roboul of the
French theatrical company was the
kind of a woman that men loved but
did not marry. Chakende Hanum said
nothing, but that very same day
went into her garden and plucked
young Hanum, what you can do with
those roses?"
A shiver ran down my back as I
nodded.
A few nights later when Djamal
Pasha was about to retire, Chakende
Hanum prepared his sherbet for him.
Her hand did not tremble. though her
face was white as she handed it to
him. It did not last long; Djamal
Pasha disd from an unexplained mall
ady; but Chakende Hanum kept on
plucking laurel roses daily After a
little while they put her in her little
grave, too, five years ago."
We sat silent for awhile. The moon
had travelled fast and was now near
the water, bridging the Bosphorus
with her moonglade. The garden, the
hills and the water changed with the
changing slant of the rays, and be-
came more won1rously enchanting
still, though that had not seemed pos.
sible before, and enthralled me with
the fascination of the east-the east
whose language and ways of dealing
with right and wrong had been alien

SNOWFALL PRAYER
FINALLY EXPLAINED

.u."y Lunuon reeress who 10
iEsdUs.
The SNOW Bail prayer as IL has
become known la EarOpe. has lln
ally reached Las Vegas. A number
vi people ave received the following
communication in the past few days.
Endless Chain Prayer.
Oh Lord Jesus we implore Thee;
oh Eternal God. to have mercy on
all mankind. Keep US from sin by
Thy precious blood. Take me 10 be
with Thee e%ternally, amen"
The letter then requests the pray
er be sent to nine different people
by the recipient. sending one each
day for nine days. It says further
that unless this is done some great
calamity will befall you"
The prayer has excited much Gu
riosity and even fear among many
people in the country. but the follow
ing dispatch, recently sent out from
London, explains, its origin:
London, Feb. 16.-For some time
a mysterious document known as
The Snwball Prayer" has been ag
itating the minds of hundreds of
thousands of recipients t~hroughoct
the United Kingdom. Each person
who received a prayer was requested
to copy It and post 1t to nine friends
within nine days from It's receipt
Those who did not comply with the
request were threatend with some
dire misfortune, while those who
complied with it were promised great
Joy. Since November last efforts to
trace the origin OF the prayer have
been made. but were unsuccessful
until now. when the following sad
story is current in the west end:
November IL two mental special
lists we're summoned to the home OF
the fairest and youngest p~erresses
in Mayfair. They found the pat
lent who had been somewhat Ill for
six months decidly worse, and decid'
ed to place her in a private asylum.
From here the now famous prayer
emanated, having been mailed by
her first to twenty-four friends and
acauaintances2 The : unfortunate
lady's Iunacy dates almost from her
honeymoon, which followed n OF the
most brilliant pre-Leten weddings n
1906. It commenced with depres
sion and lassitude and then took a
religion form during Father Bernar'
vaughan's attack on Mayfair morals.
Since then the unhappy lady has be-
moaned the wickedness of her world
her own fate and her husband:
and has been spending much of her
life In tears.
