ARON OTHERS was the pos
SCISSOR Of a fne estate In Pom
" erania- As q young man he
was considered very fascinat-
ing by women and before he was TWEEN
ty-nve bad broken many hearts But
those whose hearts he broke were more
fortunate than those he married late
In life, for when he was older he would
marry those he wished to possess, and
they were always short lived. His
neighbors who knew of his Bluebeard
practices called him Baron Manteufel
Baron DeviD.
By the loveliest OF his wives the bar
on had a son, who as he grew up de-
veloped his mothers disposition. He
was the baron's only child. and, al
though OF an entirely different charac-
ter, his father lived with him on fair
ly good terms. When the son, Herman
Oilers, was twenty-five he went to his
father one day and told him that he
had fallen in love and wished to
marry.
II very much approve OF your deci-
sion," replied the father. 81 only hope
the lady Is young and beautiful"
Both" And the son gave his IA
Their a glowing description of her
beauty.
Very well. you may write her that
I approve Of your marriage with her.
| Indeed, will go and bring her here to
you, and the wedding shall take place
In this house instead of hers. Her
family shall be at no expense"
Young Herman was delighted with
his fathers complatsance in the mat
ter, attrtbuting it to the fact that his
father, who was a widower and was
| getting old, wished to have the house
| lightened up by a woman's presence.
The baron a few days later ordered
| out his handsomest equipage and, ar
| raging himself in his finest apparel,
drove away for the bride.
Herman passed a week impatiently,
during which he heard nothing from
| his father or his fiancee. Then one
day the two drove up to the house,
| and when the lady stepped out Of the
carriage the baron presented her as
his wife. He had dazzled her with
| his great wealth, thus obtaining her
consent to marry him instead of his
| son, who had nothing In his own
right.
Herman Oilers went to live In
neighboring city. No one knew what
effect the loss of his bride had upon
| him. Whatever it was, he bore it with
| outward equanimity. The young baron
css lived two years and then died, as
| the baron's other wives had died, of Ill
treatment. Her stepson did not attend
her funeral, but about the time Of her
death he shut himself up from his
friends who OWNED the cause. Great
was the surprise, however, soon after
this seclusion when he announced that
| he was to be married He gave out to
| a few cronies that he would not make
public the name of his betrothed I'M

that he would not get there In time.
On the way he met one of his serv-
ants, whom he had sent out to spy,
telling him to make haste, as there
was yet time. When he reached a
point a few, leagues from the church
he was met by another, who told him
that the bridal party was driving to
the church. Manteufel spurred on, to
find when he reached the church steps
that the bridal couple had entered.
Flinging himself from his horse, boot
ed and spurred as he was, he rushed
down the aisle to the altar, where the
ceremony was just beginning.

face was concealed by her ven, 'T have

long as you live, though I've signed

when you die"
Baron Oilers from that moment lived
a life OF horror. In vain he strove to
master his wife and drive her away
from him His efforts were furious
bursts of passion. Hers was persistent
bedevilment. Curiously enough, the
baron lived the exact term of the mar

That the religion of the Moros reach
es back and dovetails into the fUunda-
ton of the Christian religion is indi-
Gated by their belief in many charac-
tiers of the Old Testament and their
possession of stories of the creation
of Adam and Eve, the garden of Eden,
etc. They know of Ibrahim, No,
Adam, Mosa, Ismaii, Daud, Sulaiman,
Yakub and Alse. who is supposed to
be Samson.
Work done by the United States gov
eminent has showed results. Ten years
ago the Moros would kill an American
on sight. Today there are schools In
every settlement, schools OF trade and
Industrial farms. The government
farm at San Ramon, near Zamboanga,
is an object lesson to the Moro that
he is not too dull to comprehend, and
experiments that prove beneficial to
him as likely to open up new vistas OF
enterprise or improve the old are
brought to his attention, and he is en-
couraged to give them fair trial.
SCHOOLS FOR MORoS
Public schools, as must be expected,
are not far developed. OF the 1884
children enrolled in the public schools
of Moroland 1884 are Filipinos, S4S
Moros and 40 Pagans- The fifty-sev-
en- schools which represent the educa-
tional efforts there are distributed over
every province. OF the eight tnstruc-
/ tors there are only fourteen Ameri-
cans, yet English is taught in every

Photographs on Finger Nails.

A fad in Germany is the mounting Of
photographs on the finger nails, the idea
growing out of the whim Of a cousin
Of the kaiser who had an enameled por-
trait Of her fiance worked on the nail
of her little finger. This portrait was
a work of art and cost 800, but now
the fashionable manicures of Berlin
have taken up the idea in the photo
graph form. The feature Of this work
by manicures is rendering the photo
graph waterproof, which is done by
coating it over with a shel1ac-like sub
stance burned upon the nail. 1t is said
that, with careful handling, a photo
graph so mounted will last about four
months without renewal.-Popular Me-

"A up before you with a knife
ready to strike vital blow
when you least expected it? This hap
pens only too frequently to United
States soldiers in the Philippines-in
Mindanao and Jolo, where the savage
Moros have their homes. The treach-
cry of the Moro was so tantalizing
that the military authorities of the
Philippines were at last forced to try
extreme measures, and the disarma-
ment of the entire Moro population
was ordered.
This step was followed by several
murderous attacks on Americans, and
soldiers have been at times forced to
drastic action. Most of the Moro
chiefs gave up their weapons peace
fully enough, but there have been a
series of sharp engagements with
bandits.
WARRIOR IN EVERY FIBER
There is nothing of the politician
about the impulsive Moro. He Is the
warrior, the fighting man in every
fiber. You must look to the Filipino
for qualities of intrigue. The Moro
has not time for such parlor games as
holder. polygamist. Mohammedan, war
rtor, hunter, pirate and farmer, this
last to such an extent as the number
of his wives and slaves permits.

inspires that form OF Moro insanity
