Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
CAIRO. March 6, 1911.
For the past two or three weeks
the nationalist newspapers have
been filled with glowing ac-
counts of the wonderful demonstra
tions to be made in Cairo, Alexandria
and the principal provincial towns of
Egypt on the third anniversary OF the
death Of Mustapha Pasha Kamel. their
first leader. Pages of leading arti-
cles have been written eulogizing Mus
tapha Pasha and describing the as
sembly which, by it's numbers, its de-
votion and its solidarity of purpose,
was going to astonish the world.
AL Leva, the paper founded by Mus
tapha Pasha Kamel as the mouthpiece
Of the party, and left by him as the
only asset with which to satisfy his
creditors, devoted it's front page to a
glorifcation Of the departed leader
and a description of the procession
which passed through the streets of
Cairo on it's way to his tomb. The
paper says:
His Soldiers of Peace.
This is your day. Mustapha; look
and eyes weeping bitterly. These are
your countrymen. whom you upheld to
the last, astounding the world with
your perseverance. Up to the mo-
ment Of your death you gave counsel
to your followers like general CIV
ing orders on the field Of battle I'D to
the moment Of his death. They have
come in their thousands from every
part of Egypt to assist at your pro-
cession, which is such as to be the
envy of kings. They have come Of
their own free will, guided by their
love for you.
These are your soldiers Mustapha
soldiers of peace, soldiers of truth. SOL
diers of the nation. These are the MEM
bers of your almighty party who have
been influenced by your deeds. The num-
day to day. Many who were your ene-
mics formerly were among your sup
porters today. The constitution is ap-
preaching; Turkey has obtained 1t, China
is nearing it. The occupation (British)
has been hindrance to us, but every
thing has an end. We shall obtain the
constitution and nothing shall stand in
our way. Rest in peace"
Promises Not Fulfilled.
First in procession came detachments
from the various primary schools, COM
posed of little children, with a sprnkIing
of older boys. Next came some of the
pupils of the secondary schools: then q
small detachment of turbaned students at
AL Azhar University. These were fol-
lowed by representatives from the higher
schools the schools Of medicine. Of law,
of engineering and of agriculture
According to the Official program these
were to be followed by the nationalist
party. with its representatives from the
provinces and from the various branches
of the party in Cairo. and by the members
of the nationalist trade unions and the
societies. These were all con-
spicuous by their absence and their place
was taken by a few sympathizers ap-
recruited on the spot

sbly harm me, | was sure. 1t was as if |
dealt in potent magic. So | got home with
my mother. Poor mother! if she only knew!
Strange, one can never tell the most impor-
tant things in our lives to ones best friends!
One lies only to those one loves.
"Then | met a man, the man of all the
world for me, the only human being who
could ever change me. Love has a strange
alchemy one can't explain. Why try to ex-
plain it? One is attracted or one is repealed
in spite of oneself. Schopenhauer calls it the
Spirit of the Race, seeking reincarnation.
| prefer the poetic Interpretation, For me,
Romance! never mind! Anyway, | fell
in love Immediately, desperately. Love is
terrible thing it took hold of me.
"To me Herbert was perfect, all that was
best and finest of manhood. | thought of
him almost as one thinks of the great heroes
of history, Washington, Goethe, Alexan-
der He was my Bonny Prince Charlie-my
King could do no wrong. And so, as soon as
| found my heart was gone, | got my first
real sight of my mania, saw the horrible
thing it had become. | felt as if | were a
leper. If he had found me out, should have
died of shame. And later, when | saw that
he actually loved nett was wonderful

me he was as spotleSsly pure and honorable
as a god, and | was unworthy to be his wife.
So, when he proposed, | refused him. When
he wanted to know my reason, couldn't
tell. Then he began to make love to me SO
ardently that | was alternately delirious
with joy and tortured with horrible remorse
"One night he swept me off my feet, and
accepted him. Oh, in my heart | promised
myself at the same time that l would never
marry him till had cast out the devil that
was possessing me! 1t seemed so easy at the
time. His strength seemed to make me
strong. | felt that the inspiration of his love
and trust would exalt my will. Wait! Can
you imagine young man who has sown his
wild oats converted, and taking holy orders,
and feeling sure that nothing could ever
tempt him again? That was how | felt
l thought that my love would change my
whole character in single day. Things
aren't SO easy as that, in this world. We
have to pay, always have to pay!
II suppose you have never taken NOR
phine, or opium, or cocaine? | hope not
But you must have heard what a fight it is,
how terribly difficult it is to stop the habit
1t isn't impossible, though. Why, one time
l took cocaine steadily every day for two
months-I just had to see if my will was
diseased too, if l had any strength at all left
in me. Pshaw! stopped in day. laughed
at it. 1t was nothing. But this thing was
different. 1t had grown like monster in

fingers from anything l craved-well, can
you refrain from drinking when you're
thirsty? 1t was like that-worse, thou
sand times worse! fought it night and day,
though. l was determined to win-for his
sake. l fought it as one fights terrible

him! Can you imagine anything more hor-
rible? 1t was damnable!
THEN, one day, | was nearly caught. I
had slipped a red morocco bound book
into my muff at a house where was calling
for the first time. l dropped my multiply
a queer chance it fell on end and stood on the
floor curiously upright He bent down to
pick it up for mel was just second too
quick for him. How my heart beat. He
would certainly have seen the book-I
couldn't have explained it, possibly. 1t
would have ended everything. So l re-
doubled my efforts to cure myself by sheer
will. l went scarcely anywhere and never
alone | had pockets put in my coat. and
kept my hands in them. | schooled myself
to to be on my guard necessarily.
"Well, l improved rapidly after that.
When l had taken nothing for six months l
set the day for the wedding. That was
happy time. My only bugbear was the
necklace. 1t was impossible to return it.
after we were married, | kept the neck
lace hidden in a secret compartment Of my
jewel chest l dreamed of it all through my
honeymoon most delicious honeymoon
any bride ever spent, except for that.
THAT was six months ago; now it seems
six years. All, well! When l first met Her
bert thought he was broker. Everyone
thinks that now, except those few that know.
But after | was married he confessed to me
that he was a detective. He told me he was
employed by several big corporations at a
big salary to work on specially difficult
cases. His value depended upon people not
knowing his real occupation. Passing as a
broker, he could go into the best society and
no one suspected him.
at was shock to me at first; but | got
used to it. Now that l had recovered from
my mania my spirits went up sky high. 1t
was like getting my youth back again. l
was like a young girl. How Herbert used to
laugh at my spirits! | was free now to love
him freely. as wildly as l wished. | let my
self go. No woman was ever so proud OF her
husband And l was proud of myself too.
Why shouldn't | be? | had conquered as
desperate an evil as any woman ever fought.
But-there was still the necklace-twenty-
seven drops of blood. A detective is dam
gerous person to attempt to hide a thing
from. l was MORALLY afraid he would dis
cover my secret.
ave went everywhere,-l had a wide ac-
quaintance, Baltimore, Washington, New
York. Herbert went with me. He seemed
to like the dinners, the musicales, dances,
teas, bridge parties. / was proud of him.
Everybody liked him. He was a social sue
cess. He never refused an invitation unless
his duties called him away. Sometimes he
had to be absent for a week or so at time;
and, of course, owing to the nature of his
profession, he could tell me nothing of his
affairs. Occasionally he was unexpectedly
out all night. Except for these absences
and the necklace was gloriously happy.
Herbert was still lover more than hus-
band. He gave me presents often.

the Bowerv. The mention of the man caused
her distress. She rose, walked up and down
a moment, then returned to him as if decided
upon something.
at is good of you to offer to help me, she
said; "but l am afraid my trouble is past
mending You look kind and honest. be-
lieve that you have told me the truth. You
must believe the same of me; for | am going
to tell you my story. You will see that |
have good enough cause for tears.
She took the ruby necklace and sat down
on huge couch As she told her story she
fingered the Jewels nervously, pausing to
control herself from time to time as her emo
ton swept over her like a storm.
