Marriage Of Widows in India.

We are glad to note the number OF
widow marriages increasing every
year. Following on the heels Of one
in high life in Calcutta, there have
been lately three such marriages in
different parts of the country. This is
a noteworthy record, which should
cause the social reformer to take heart
for the ultimate success of his work.
The agitation that has been kept up
for years by the social conference
has been successful. if only in i'm

Maitland and the detective were bat

such circumstances speech was diff

Hickey stepped back, face black as

Meanwhile the first officer to arrive
upon the scene was taking his turn at
agitating the button and shaking the

undertaking than Hickey. After a
