Cara to the Rescue.
/ When Dexter Reece Went down
to the breakfast room of Thorden
Hall next morning, he found Evelyn
standing by the window; and, as
she turned and gave him her hand
with smile. he saw that she was
pale and he guessed that she had
spent sleepless night. He him
self had slept but little, for his
mind had been excited by the sto-
ry of the giant ruby and the scene
he had witnessed in the wood be-
tween Miss Desborough and her
reckless brother.
You are early she said. q am

this morning he eXerted himself and
proved a very agreeable companion;
and, after time, the harassed look
disappeared from Evelyn's face. and
he won a laugh or two from her.
Just as they were finishing, Mr.. Lex

ges for his belate1 appearance

blame on your wonderful air. Miss

Mr.. Lexham opened the Western
Morning News, stuck it up against
the coffee pot and prepared to enjoy
his breakfast in the satisfactory and
o'd-fashioned way dear to the heart
Of men of his age and habits. The
younger man went to the window,
and looked out, his eyes resting
thoughtfully on the belt of trees

disappeared the preceding night Sud

JACKSON NEGRESS
Held FOR POISONING

Jackson, Miss, Dec. MATTE Rob
inson, the negress arrested by the po-
lice yesterday on the charge of poison
ing a member of her race named Dan
Jennings, will be held to await the
grand jury next week, when an inves-
tigation will be made of the supposed
tragedy.
The negress stoutly protested her
innocence, but the manner of Jen-
nings death plainly indicates that she
was poisoned, and the police theory
is strengthened by the fact that the
woman kept the body concealed In
her cabin for twelve hours after
death.
When last seen Jennings had a con-
siderable sum of money in his peck
cts, and this had disappeared when
the body was found. The grand jury
convenes on Monday, and it is expect
ed that the body will order a chem
ical analysis of the victims stomach
to find whether it contains traces OF
poison.

this prickless variety. For years she
was neighbor of Luther Burbank, the

MYSTERY OF WOMAN'S HAIR

The British Medical Journal quotes
an interesting account by Mr.. Frances
Trollope Of hair market" in Brit
tany. He states that in various parts
of the motley crowd there were three
or four different purchasers of this
commodity, who travel the country for
the purpose of attending the fairs and
buying the tresses of the peasant
girls. -.
They have particularly fine hair.
and frequently In the greatest abun-
dance. There seemed to be no diff
Guilty in finding possessors of beauti-
full heads of hair perfectly willing to
sell. I'VE saw several girls sheared
one after the other, like sheep, and
as many more standing ready for the
shears, with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging down to their waists. No
doubt the reason of the indifference to
their tresses on the part of the fair
Bretonnes to be found in the invari-
able mode which covers every head
from childhood upward with close
caps, which entirely prevents any part
of the hair from being seen, and, OF
course, as totally conceals the want
of 1t. The money given for the hair

FRIDAY IS THE
JEWISH HOLIDAY
Of PURIM
The Story of the Event
Which the Holiday Cele-
brates.

Friday is the Jewish feast of Esther
or Purim and it will be observed in this
city by the Hebrew population
The feast begins tonight, the even
ing of the twelfth day of the twelfth
month of the Hebrew calendar. which
in this case is Thursday. and ends at
sunset of the 31st Thursday.
The events leading up to this feast
of the Jews are fully described in the
book of Esther one OF the mos tbeauti-
fully written stories Of the historical
book of books.
In the reign of king Ahasuerus, of
Persia, Alb B. c., his prime minister and
advisor was the Agagite Haman, who
sought to advance himself and ten sons
to the highest position at court, and, be-
coming jealous Of the honest Jew Nor
decai. the cousin and foster father of
the good queen Esther, began intrigue
and through her father, sought him
self 10 usurp the throne and give his
sons the command of the rich provinces
held by the Jews.
Ha mans Conspiracy.
He made secret preparations and gave
secret orders throughout the land that
the moment he seized the throne in the
kings own province of Shushan, the
Jews in all the provinces should be
slaughtered
Mordecai's triumphal day was TO be
the signal when his death by hanging
at the command of the king, whose
Mordecai, was to follow.
Queen Esther early learned of the
intrigue and through her father sought
to foil him and save her people. She in
formed the king and he issued a prOcla-
nation nine months previous 70 the IA
tai day, granting all his subjects in
every land the privilege of rising on
this day, the 18th day of the month
Adam and standing for their lives
against their enemies" Many of the
inhabitants of the provinces from Eth
opa to India, learning of the intended
uprising of the Jews became afraid and
embraced the Jewish religion and were
saved.
The Great Victory.
On the fatal day the subjects of king
Ahasuerus stood for their lives against
their enemies" and slaughtered, in the
127 provinces then existing outside of
the royal province of Shushan. alone
$4,000 of their enemies. "but did not
seize their spoils." In the province of
Shushan on the 18th day of Adar, there
were 500 of the enemy slain, and Ha-
man, after being denounced by queen
Esther to the king while the three were
at dinner, was hung as traitor though
he begged for his life, even into the
queens bed room
Esther then was granted her request
that another day, the 18th. be also
given up to the slaughter of the enc
mics of her people. and that the ten
sons of Haman be hung. On this day in
Shushan 500 more of the enemy were
slain and then came the proclamation,
signed by Esther's own hand, that the
Jews should rest on the 18th day and
feast and celebrate their signal victory
and give presents 10 each other and sue
cor TO the needy and poor, and the
