John Hanway invented the umbrel-
la, which was no novelty even Ia
Sennacherib.
A bas-relief in the British Museum
shows us that Assyrian monarch enjoy
ing the advantages of both coach ana
umbrella as he moves at the head OF
his army. But long before his day,
under the dim dyEasties OF YOUNG
China, the umbrella was in high n
A Chinese legend attributes the in
vention to the wife Of Lou-pan, a cele-
brated carpenter of antiquity. Sir"
said this wonderful lady to her huS-
band, you may make with extreme
cleverness houses for men, but 1t Is
impossible to make them move, while
the object l am framing for their pri-
vate use can be carried to any distance,
beyond even a thousand leagues" And
Lou-pan, stupefed by his wife's genius,
then saw the unfolding of the first
parasol. -...
The umbrella and the sunshade are
essentially the same. The umbrella is
merely a shade. AS such it haunts the
mysteries, the professions, and the gor-
geous ceremonials of the East back
into the morning mists of history.
In India it was always an emblem of
majesty. The Mahratta Princes who
reigned at Poona and Sattara held the
title of Lord of the Umbrella"
But so hard is it to keep track of an
umbrella that many Il mere American
would forego being a Mahratta Prince
If he could be lord of his umbrella for
three months together.

To SINCE the Hair Properly.

While no one believes In the old SUI
perstition that cutting the hair makes
1t bleed" smuggling is much escorted
to as a means of promoting the growth.
This must be carefully done, prefera-
bly, by someone who understands her
business. While it Is not hard to SINCE
off the ends of long hair, 1t is difficult,
even dangerous, to attempt to singa
split ends along the entire length of
the hair.
If you cannot afford to spend the
small mou hat it costs to have the
hair singed properly once a month by
a professional, have a friend do 1t Tor
you under your own supervision.
Divide the hair into numerous strands
and twist them tightly; then rough up
the ends SO that they stand out about
an inch. Have your friend pass a
lighted wax taper along the length of
each strand, while you hold 1t out at
full length and as taut as possible.
In this way there Is less danger Of fire
than if one attempts to do the singing
for oneself.
Remember that 1t requires skill
not to burn off the long hair as well
as the split ends, so do moi choose an
assistant who is nervous or whose hand
trembles. 1t is also well that her
sense of humor be not too keen, or
the results may be disastrous for your
hair.

Returned to London from a hard. campaign
In Afghanlstan, DIR. Watson In seeking a room
discovers Sherlock Holmes similarly employed
and the two cast in their lots together. Mr..
Holmes is summoned to investigate the ap-
parent murder of a man named Enoch. j.
Drebber, Cleveland. Ohio. U. s. A., the fact
that there had been no robbery or other ap-
parent motive increasing the mystery OF the
affair. A singular occurrence In connection
with 1t was the ~scrawllng In blood-red letters
on the wall of the room In which the body was
found of the word, 'Rache,' the German FOR
revenge apparently intended to deceive the
police. The story of the constable who discoy-
cred the body discloses only that the probable
murderer had escaped through feignlng
drunkenness A woman's wedding ring found
upon the floor seems likely to furnish a clue.
Arthur Charpentier, a naval lieutenant, Is ar
rested on suspicion. The murder OF joseph
Stangerson, Drebber's secretary, further connpn-
Gates the affair. The tangie seems at Its most
bewildering 5tage when Holmes electrihes the
detectives by ~clapping the handouts on a CAB
driver whom he introduces as the murderer.
The scene Is then shifted to the Sierras, IN THIS
country, where a man and a little girl, who
have become lost, are confronted with starya-
ton. a long caravan Of Mormons travelling
west passes the two castaways.

CHAPTER III.
John Ferrier talks with the Prophet.

b-sHREE weeks had passed since
jefferson Hope and his COM
rades had departed from Salt
Lake City. John Terriers heart was
sore within him when he thought OF
the young mans return, n of the
impending loss of his adopted child.
Yet her bright and happy face rec
onciled him to the arrangement more
than any argument could have done.
He had always determined, deep down
in his resolute heart, that nothing
would ever induce him to allow his
daughter to wed q Mormon. Such a
marriage he regarded as no marriage
at all, but as a shame n disgrace.
Whatever he might think of the Nor
mon doctrines, upon that one point he
was inflexible. He had to seal his
mouth on the subject, however, for to
express an u~northodox opinion was a
dangerous matter in those days in the
Land of the Saints.
Yes, a dangerous matter-so danger
erous that even the most sanity dared
only whisper their religious opinions
with bated breath, lest something which
fell from their Inns might be miscon-
strued and bring down a swift retribu-
ton upon them. The victims of perse-
cution had now turned prosecutors on
their own account, and prosecutors of
the most terrible description. Not the
Inquisition of Seville, nor the German
Vehmgericht, nor the secret societies
of italy, were ever able to put a more
formidable machinery in motion than
that which cast a cloud over the Ter
ritory of Utah.
Its invisibility, and the mystery
which was attached to it. made this
organization doubly terrible. 1t APP
peared to be omniscient and omnt-
potent, and yet was neither seen nor
heard. The man who held out against
the church vanished away. and none
knew whittier he had gone, or what
had befallen him. His wife and chill
dren awaited him at home. but no
father ever returned to tell them how
he had Jared at the hands of his secret
judges. A rash word or a hasty act
was followed by humiliation, and yet
none knew what the nature might be
of this terrible mower which was sus
pended over them. No wonder that
men went about in fear and trembling,
and that even in the heart of the Will
derness they dared not whisper the
doubts which oppressed them.

steady company with a young man

hoping TO patch up the differences be-

take him back. But fapke refused 10
listen to what Jones called reason and
told his fellow-townsman that he was
through with him for good and all.
The pair almost came TO blows before
the interview was at an end. At first
Jones tried soft words and asked for
an explanation for Papke's apparent
Instead OF answering. Bill
ly tried to break away. Jones fell into
a clinch and demanded that Papke tell
him the why's and wherefores OF the
smash-up,
The managers persistence peeved
Billy and a rough and tumble tight
was nipped In the bud by mutual
friends, who broke the pair and led
them to a private room where they
might talk over the difficulty unem-
barrassed by the presence OF curious
audience.
Billy told Jones he was not at all
satisfied with the latter's business
management and that he wanted a
wiser financier.
Jones said after the interview with
Papke he was more hurt by the lat
ter's ingratitude than by any money
loss which the ex-champion's move
might cause him.
