PREPARED FOR GRANNY DAY"
Amer of Bokhara Said to Be Storing
Up Treasure at the Rate of
100000 a Year.

The largest private hoard in the
world is probably that owned by the
Ameer of Bokhara, the Russian vassal
state in Central Asia, writes the st.
Petersburg correspondent of the New
York Sun. According to the Turke-
stanskiye Kraj the Ameer possesses
in his stronghold a vault 315 feet long,
45 feet wide and 20 feet high, com
pletely filled with gold bars and coined
gbld.
Some years ago the Ameer had an
other vault built to hold his savings,
and the new storehouse is now almost
full There is at the Bokharan court
an enormous cash book, which has
served for generations and in which
all and expenditures are sup
posed to be put down, but also for gen.
erations it has never been checked
with the cash in hand"
Grating is the easiest thing in the
world at Bokhara. The Ameer's off.
Gals draw no salary. They are ap-
pointed on the understanding that
they must keep themselves on what
they can make out of their various
offices. There is no budget, and the
largest permanent charge on the
Ameer's income is one of $4,000 an
nually for a local hospital. Then there
is a small contribution toward the up
keep Of the Russian police in the pro-
tectorate and the maintenance of the
Bokharan army" which has shrunk
to a mere b%odyguard.
The Ameer's annual savings, 1t is
calculated, amount to more than 49,
100000 a year. He is by traditional
usage compelled to send every year
a number of valuable presents" to
the Russian authorities at Samarkand
and Tashkent. These presents con
sist of carpets, silks and the like,
which are Immediately sold by the re-
cipients to native traders, from whom
the Ameer as regularly buys them
back at fixed prices, to be stored UP
and to serve again as presents" the
following year.

and the pretty ones inspire an admira-

The largest of the three has a

garnished with a ribbon band, which
terminates in a small fiat bow at the
side. The brim is wonderfully grace
full, curving upward slightly and

He jumped Copper Bottom ahead
to avoid her. for in that moment she
had touched his pride. Yes, she had
done more than that-she had de-
stroyed a dream he had, a dream of a
beautiful woman. always gentle. al
ways noble, whom he had sworn to
protect with his life. Did she think
he was a pelado Mexican, a hot-eoun-

her, and welcome. Her TRADE had
lessened his burden, Now his fight
was but a duty to his pardner in the
performance of which he would be nc

up beside him. you did not under

Never mind" answered Bud In a
kinder voice, "Tll take care of you.
Jest keep your horse in the trail" he
added, as she rode on through the
brush, land I'll take care of Del Rey."
He beckoned her back with a jerk
of the head and resumed his place In
the lead. Here was no place to talk
about men and motives. The noun

yes, even now, far up on the eastern
hillside, he could see armed men-and
now one was running to intercept
them!
Bud reached for his rifle, jerked up
a cartridge, and sat crosswise in his
saddle. He rode warily, watching the
distant runner, until suddenly he pulled
in his horse and threw up a welcom-
ing hand. The man was Amigo-no
other could come down a hillside so
swiftly-and he was signaling him to
wait.

''Frenchy" shape, is a picturesque and
dressy model, combining a narrow
brim of velvet and crown of silver
lace yer a vivid satin. The brim
rolls up at the left and droops decid-
edly at the right side, where an in
dentation breaks its line and adds to
its becomingness. It is trimmed with
a single metallic rose and finished
with a long tie Of handsome MORE
ribbon. This is mounted to the brim
at the left under an odd and pretty
bow.
The curious shape of the third
model catches ones attention. 1t is
a beautifully made hat with crown
that has a sharp slope upward from
right to left. The velvet covering is
laid on smoothly and piped with
satin, and satin is used for the fac
ing.
The shape serves as a background
upon which a splendid bow of rich
MORE ribbon is mounted. The rib
bon is wired at the edges and the
bow reveals how much Of an art it is
to convert a straight length of mate

The Land Of Broken Promises


songs and strange animals crashed
through the brush at their approach,
but still Hooker stayed in the saddle
and Gracia followed on behind.
If she had thought in her dreams of
an easier journey she made no COM
ment now and, outside of stopping to
cinch up her saddle, Bud seemed hard
ly to know she was there. The trail
was not going to suit hint edged
off too far to the southland yet, in the
tropical darkness, he could not search
out new ways to go.
At each fork he paused to light a
match, and whichever way the mule
tracks went he went also, for pack
mules would take the main trail. For
two hours and more they followed on
down the stream and then Hooker
stopped his horse.
You might as well get down and
rest a while" he said quietly. "This
trail is no good-it's taking us south.
Well let our horses feed until the
moon comes up and I'll try to work
north by landmarks"
"Oh-are we lost?" gasped Gracia,
dropping stiffly to the ground. But of
course we are" she added. I've been
thinking so for some time"
ooh, that's all right" observed
Hooker philosophically; Il don't mind
being lost as long as l know where
Pm at. Well ride back until we get
out of this dark canyon and then I'll
lay a line due north"
They sat for a time in the dark
ness while their horses champed at
the rich grass and then, unable to keep
down her nerves, Gracia declared for a
start. A vision of angry pursuers rose
up in her mind-of Manuel del Rey
and his keen-eyed r~urales, hot upon
their trail-and it would not let her
rest.
Nor was the vision entirely the re-
suit of nervous imagination, for they
had lost half the advantage Of their
start, as Hooker well knew, and if he
made n more false move he would
find himself called on to fight. As
they rode back through the black
canyon he asked himself for the hun.
dredth time how it had all happened
why, at a single glance from her,
he had gone against his better judg'
ment and plunged himself into this
tangle. And then, finally, what was
he going to do about it?

do about it. He knew he was going

BURIAL PLACE OF KING JOHN
Writer Declares lnterment of Famous
English Monarch Took Place
at Worcester.

In the American Law Review there
appeared an article in which the
writer made an allusion to King John
of England, and said he went ito his
unlamented rest at st. Wolstan's.
Now, is this correct? King John vas
buried at Worcester and in the ca
thedral there, and his body has slept
in that spot until now, unless, like a
streak of morning cloud, it has melted
into the infinite azure of the past. In
1897, for the purpose Of Identifying
the resting place Of the king and his
remains, a committee of citizens was
appointed to investigate this matter.
The body was identified and all that
remained of it placed in a new maui
soleum, where it stands today as one
of the objects of interest in Worces-
ter cathedral. Shakespeare, in his
King john" puts in the mouth Of
Prince Henry the following words:
"At Worcester must his body be in
TERED, for SO he willed it." Thus we
see King John was buried in Worces-
ter cathedral, and it is therefore mac
curate to say he was buried at st. VOL
STAINS. The memory of King John Is
not cherished with the feeling that has
followed the lives and deaths Of some
of England's sovereigns, and he will
be remembered only as the monarch
from whom was extorted the great
charter of English liberty, from which
this country has received a large part
of it's valued Observation-Disclosures to

self, that Phil did not deserve her.
Alone, he would have taken to the
mountains with a fine disregard for
trails, turning into whichever served
his purpose best and following the
lay Of the land. Even with her in his
care it would be best to do that yet,
for there would be trailers on their
track at sunup, and it was either ride
or fight.
Free at last from the pent-in canyon,
they halted at the forks, while Bud
looked out the land by moonlight. Dim
and ghostly, the square-topped peaks
and buttes rose all about him, huge
and impossible except for the winding
trails. He turned UP a valley between
two ridges, squirting his horse into a
fast walk.
From one COW trail to another he
picked out a way to the north, but the
lay of the ground threw him to the
east and there were no passes between
the hills. The country was rocky,
with long parallel ridges extending to
the northeast, and when he saw where
the way was taking him Bud called a
halt till dawn.
By the very formation he was being
gradually edged back toward For
tuna, and 1t would call for fresh
horses and a rested Gracia to outstrip
their pursuers by day. II the rurales

northern passes In an effort to out

could lose them in the broken country

threatened with attack by several
large British warships, had taken his

a refuge in st. Leonard's creek. The
