As the miser grew stronger in Has

referred to became more and more in
sistent Zudora must die When he
faced this nevitability for the first
time he was genuinely horrihed He
was her uncle; her mother had been
his sister; the girl was his flesh and
blood. But the constant recurrence
of an evil desire gradually lessons the
adherence of it, Today in Hassam
Ali's mind there remained no shreds
of compunction, only a desire to ac-
complish the deed without in any
manner directing suspicion toward
him. SO to this one object he now
turned the brilliant powers of his alb

In few days she would be is. On
that day she would become enormous

the power OF money meant. But
how? In what subtle, cunning man

the law to trace the deed to him?
And there was another obstacle rising
slowly but surely and formidably over
the horizon. Love. Youth and the
necessity of love, these menaced the
plans of Hassam Ali. He had toll

The time had come for Storm to be

over the past. marveling over the
strange crust of cynicism which over

powers of logical deduction. Zudora
should play the detective to her

some terrible accident who would be
the wiser?

The cells in the six tier block must
GO They are not fit habitations for pigs
They are damp and productive OF dis
ease, especially of tuberculosis.
The coffee is the viiest stun / ever
tasted l tried TO drink some, but had
TO take cocoa.
There is not work enough to go
around. / think the best way will be TO
put the men on two-hour shifts, and
allow them opportunity for athletic ex-
ercise in addition.
II am going to allow the prisoners 10

treatment, which has been abolished at
the demand OF an outraged civilization.

TROUBLE BREWS FOR -,
{. THIS ROYAL WEDDING
Trafficking in Tickets Followed
by Dispute Over the
Bridesmaid
IBy Latest MALL

LONDON-The first little trouble
about the forthcoming wedding of
Prince Arthur of Connaught and the
Duchess Of Fife was the discovery
that there has been trafficking IN
tickets for the affair. This resulted
liz the cancellation of all invitations
and the enforcement of strict regulat'
ions about the transfer Of such tickets
for the ceremony this fall.
Great interest had been taken in the
announcement that Princess Mary
would make her first public appear
ance as bridesmaid at this wedding,
but it is now doubtful if she will do
so. Her mother, Queen Mary, who Is
strictly eager to maintain all the
rights and prerogatives of the royal
family, of which the bride and bride
groom are members, declare il Prin'
cess Mary acts as bridesmaid she
must be the first bridesmaid and head
the procession.
The young Duchess of Fife desires
her own sister, Princess Maud, to have
that position, to which she will be ell.
titled as the brides nearest relative.
The young Duchess is supported in
this by her mother and by Queen
Mother Alexandra.
