cool, salt breath on her face. At her
feet she saw the glimmer Of water and
4 boat riding to long painter. Quick
ly and silently Sing Wah drew the lit
tie craft alongside and motioned to her
to get in.
By this time the tumult had died
down to a mere muttering Of shots
with an occasional yell, mufiled by
walls and the distance. She stared
fcarfully about her, at the great arches
of dripping brick overhead, at the little
landing under foot, at the dark vista
OF the tunnel through which the water
streamcd in swishirg tide. She drew
back and let her voice out in one long,
fororn scream, the pent up agony Of
many hours. her final call for help
against the dark powers that had seiz-
ed upon her.
With swift strength Sing Wah reach
ed out his sinewy arms, raised her up
and seated her in the stern Of the boat.
A moment later he had cast OF the
painter and shipped the oars. The boat
slipped silently away on the current
into the murk.

HIDE THEIR NATURAL BEAUTY
Jewish Women Wear WIGS as a Matter
of Duty, According to Ancient
Custom.

Among the women crowding about
the vendors one sees here and there
the wig that every Jewish woman,
according to the custom, should wear
when she is married. In Russia the
bride still covers her pretty curls /;
in Chicago-one can hardly expect
a Chicago girl to do that. 1t is
only the old women who refuse to
depart from the habit of years. This
odd fashion-you will notice it is al
ways some ones else fashion which
is odd, never our OWNS an outward
symbol of high ideals. The wife
dons the wig that all may know her
thoughts are not ON the vanities, but
on the serious things of this world.
1t must be a great race the women
of which through centuries would
consent to hide their beauty under a
wig of straight, coarse hair. The
martyrdom of Jewish beauty follows
a remark credited to an ancient
woman. Asked what she had done
that she should become the mother
of two high priests she answered,
'The walls of my room have never
once seen my own hair" With not a
thought to spare on vanity and idle
ness she had given all to the raising
of her sons. She had developed in
them such wisdom, such character,
that they were fit for the high priest
hood. She was taken for a pattern
and the race of Jewish women thence
forward inundated itself and lived
up to the ideal insofar at least as
the wig. But, oh, what a strength
of religious enthusiasm it must have
taken at times!-Chicago Post.
