toward Moreaux, then stopped; but
he shook his fist in the air, and every

bristle as he ground out savagely:

Marline hesitated, stopped, then
turned away. and followed Baxter
down the stairs.
Just half an hour later-that is to
say, at half past two o'clock in the
morning-Moreaux, alone, unaccom-
panied, halted in the street beneath
an arc light and attentively exam
ined two small fiat keys that he held
in the hollow of his hand. He was
endeavoring to decide which one of
the two he should make use of first.
One of them, he felt assured, would
unlock the mystery of the lost we'd
ding presents-but which one? Which
one?
He asked himself that question over
and over again as he went on his way.

HOW TEXAS LOST
MOSLEM DOCTOR
He Had Engaged to Teach American
How to Care for karakul Sheep,
but Was Scared off.

but Was Scared off.
Ell Paso, Textile importation OF
140 Karakul sheep from Bokhara by
DR.. c. G. Young for his famous Kara
kul farm at Belen, Tex, recalls the
story of how narrowly Texas lost the
distinction of having had a real Mo-
hammedan harem of thirteen beauti-
full wives all belonging to one man.
And had this harem come to Texas it
would now be palacially housed at
Belen, near Ell Paso.
We have been boosting and booming
this fair land of ours and telling the
world at large of what we have here
but we have probably lost forever the
opportunity of advertising this land OF
sunshine as the home of a real harem.
A Mohammedan doctor of agricul-
ture and his thirteen Pearls" as he
called his wives, actually started tor
Texas from their far away home in
Bokhara, away around on the other
side TO the globe. They got as far on
their journey as Odessa, in southern
Russia.
The Mohammedan doctor had put
| his thirteen wives aboard the steamer
| that was to sail the next morning for
| America. But thirteen is an unlucky
number. The doctor fingered in the
| city that evening to have the last
| smoke and the last cup of coffee with
q friend in one of the leading cafes.
While there he met man who told
l. h. la. a.,
America he would get into all sorts
of trouble, as it was against the laws
| to have more than one wife.
Thereupon the Mohammedan doctor
| of agriculture fastened toward the
steamer and hustled his thirteen wives
ashore. The steamer sailed without
them, and Belen, Tex, has lost what
would have been n most interesting
addition to its population.
The Mohammedan doctor with his
harem was coming with a consign-
rlent of Karakul sheep for DR.. c. c.
Young, who owns ranch at Belen. Dr.
Young was in Bokhara and bought
the sheep and engaged the doctor OF
agriculture to come with the sheep
and take care of them for a year and
teach the men on his ranch in Texas
how to care for them and how to take
off and dress the valuable skins from
the lambs, coat of which is worth
enywhere from $500 to 500. The Mo-
hammedan doctor was 10 live on DR..
| Young's ranch for year and then re-
turn to his home in southern Russia
Fortunately for DR.. Young, the sheep
arrived but unfortunately we have lost
the Turkestan harem and can only int
agine what an interesting addition to
the community it might have been.
Despite the loss of the famous Rus.
sian doctor of agriculture, DR.. Young:
las had phenomenal success with his
sheep from far away Bokara, but ev-
| erything within the power of the sheep
breeder is being done 10 find Ahmed,
doctor of agriculture, and attempt
| once again to induce him to come to'
Texas and show the unbclieving inf
dels of this country how to care for
the priceless wool producing animals
A special dispensation has been OBJ
tanned from the government for All
| med and he may bring his pearls"
with him. 1t is yet possible that We
may yet see these beauties in histor-
ic little Belen.

The :benefactors are the survivors of the twenty five years war with the red men on the western plains after the Civil War.
 Ut is impossible said the Senate pensions committee, in recommend. the importance of the service render ed by these Indian fighters. They opened the west to civilization and settlement. They battIed with brave, cunning, merciless foe, and usually they faced fearful odds. but they were almost uniformly success full. They, fought in Austerlitz, but in every state of the trans Missouri west is some Therm opylae rendered immortal by their life's blood.
 '' saw more fighting at Beecher's Island than during all the four years I served with the army of the Poto- mac,' is the testimony of one of the survivors of F'orsyth's famous fight with Roman Nose. These Indian fights were had by men whose names are household words among our peo- ple-Sh er1nan, Sheridan, the il1-fated custer, dOWarQ, the gallant FOrSyJns Miles. Baldwin and a score of oth- CTS"
 The war department records show that the Indian wars cost about 1000 men killed and wounded in no less than 500 battles and skirn1ishes. In many fights, the United States troops were outnum bered ten to one, but the Knowledge that surrender meant death by torture. made them fight with desperation unparalleled in any other struggle in the nations his tory.

6. Q. P. LEADERS IN QUANDARY ON CONVENTION EVE
Big and Little Boomers Un-
 able To Size Up the y Situation.

Chicago, June 5-Uncertainty and restraint were dominant factors here today, 48 hours before the gavels were scheduled to fall at the Coliseum and the Auditorium for the opening of the Republican and Progressive national conventions.
 Restraint of a careful, calculating kind marked every movement of big and little leaders who took close scrutiny of the men opposed to them in the contest and made those minute preparations which presage the long fight and the hard fight.
 If we can hold our crowd back un- til Friday or Saturday remarked one adroit manager of a lesser Republican candidate, i've stand a mighty good show. Let these big fellows go out in front ard set the pace for the first laps- We will begin to use gasoline when these fellows have gone into the fence of the pits for repairs.
 fIt is not case, as so many seem to think, of any man to beat Wilson, but it is case of the best man to re- unite the Republican party That is the issue upon which this nomination. finally will be settled.''
 This was much the situation as the influx of delegates, alternatesa and camp followers, took place during the hours up to noon.
 If there was one man among the thousands that thronged hotel Hobbies and corridors who had a definite idea of what would happen during the next two or three days in connection with the aH-absorbing question of nominee, that man was not in evil dence.
 Talking without a full knowledge of the mood of uninstructed delegates. some of the leaders declared that Roosevelt was out of the race, that Hughes was strong but might slump within 24 hours unless he gave pro- nouncement of his stand. and, finally, that nothing short of, several ballots would begin to tell the story.
 There is a noticeable lack as con trasted with 1912, of incisivenebs and square-jawed determination among the major leaders. Everywhere there was apparently disposition to go slow and as far as possible, let the sit uation work out itself for time at least. It was indicated that probably it would be late afternoon or night before any cation of great importance would result.
 Meantime. quiet counting of noses was taking place while various man agers spread out their subordinates and assistants in dragnet position in order to find out, if possible, a. point which might be the scene of the first break.
 Plans and counter plans for pre- cipitating such a break have been evolved with care and in two or three instances political leaders have put into motion machinery for use in event of propituous opportunity.
