CELEBRATE PASSOVER
Local Jews Begin Today the
Observance of Great
Feast.

Indiana Harbor, Hammond and East
Chicago Jews began this noon the cele-
bration of what is commonly known
as the Jewish Easter, but which is also
called the feast of the Passover.
The observance of this period is
general among Jews the world over and
continues for seven days. During this
time all ordinary bread is dispensed
with, the unleavened variety being
used entirely. Matzos is used to a
large extent in the place of common
bread.
This evening there will be services
in the synagogue in East Chicago, fol-
lowing which there will be feasting in
every Jewish home in the city, or at
least the members of all Jewish fam
lilies will participate, for in many in
stances two or more families will unite
in observing the great occasion.
The feast tonight is known as Sedar
and on every table will be found some
sort of bitter herb which must be par
taken of by every man, woman and
child who sits down to the festive
board. This is to remand the jewellers
of the bitter history of the Jews.
During the progress of the meal the
head of the family is required to read
history of the life of the Jewish race
during the time they abode in Egypt.

the hands of the Pharoahs until they
were finally led forth by Moses. Into

enters the leading tribes of Judah over
the Red Sea. Following the reading
the younger members of the family are
supposed to ask whatever questions
concerning the history that occur to
them. these to be fully answered by the
reader.
Tomorrow there will be another feast
and the balance of the week will be
characterized by prayers and religious
services in every home.

She walked aft to obtain a nearer
view of the operations. The sailors
had already shut in large portion OF
the promenade deck with canvas, and
she noticed that loopholes were pro-
vided every ten feet or so to permit the
effective use of the defenders firearms.
Thus at each step she was reminded
Of the precarious hold she had on life,
and she was positively frightened
when some mad impulse surged
through her whole being, bidding her
imperiously to abandon her ultra con-
scientious loyalty to a woman she had
never seen. Why struggle against cir
cumstance? If death were so near,
what did she gain by prudery?
For an instant she stood aghast at
the revelation which had come to her.
She was in love with Courtenay. She
was ready to die by his side, fearless
and joyous, If only he would put his
arms around her and tell her that she
was dear to him. All, the fierce delight
Of that first silent surrender Her
heart beat as it had never pulsed be-
fore, even under the stress of the
storm or the sudden terror of the
night attack. Her eyes shone, and her
breath came laboriously between parted
lips. Golden dreams coursed through
her brain. She was thrilled with an
unutterable longing.
Then her swimming eyes rested on q
group of men standing on the poop.
Among them was Christobal, interest

mine. And forthwith Elsie fell from
the clouds and was brought back.

was sick at heart. She hated herself
for her self abasement. She must grid
her with sackcloth and mourn, and
the fight must be fought now without
parley or hesita ton unless the sweet
ness were to go forth from life forever
and all things turn to ashes in her
mouth.
So, marshaling the best qualities Of
her womanhood, she quelled the tur-
MOL in her breast, forced herself to
join the men on the after deck and

to receive her:

point on the surface of the bay east
ward of the canoe. His right arm was
extended, and he placed his left hand
on her shoulder. Courtenay, hailing
Walker, saw the two leaning over the
rails in that attitude. Perhaps one of
the two hoped that Courtenay would
see them. Elsie, as part of her pun
iShment, did not shrink away, though
the touch OF ChristobaFs hand made
her flesh creep. But Joey, whose mind
was singularly free from complexities,
leaped up at her. He wanted Elsie to
tell him what Courtenay was doing
out there, so far away from the ship.
She stopped and picked him up. Chris
tobal had no excuse for a second ca
ress.

and call your master. If anything hap
pens to him, you and shall never sea
