London" said the Turkish ambassa-
dor little later. We had foregath-

"He has evidently played upon her
anti-militarist convictions to secure =
wealthy convert" put in the ambas-
sador.
No, / wouldn't say that" said the
old duke, with a reluctant fairness.
Il think the man is sincere. But he's
one of those men who can persuade
themselves that anything they want is
true-a most dangerous condition of
mind. Some of our Radical statesmen
have it," he continued The duke
was violently Conservative.

idly.
1T is curious" said Doctor Imman-

answered Noureddin Bey, laughing
But l confess that l don't see tho

you mean that Mohammed was
reincarnated as Joseph SMITH" asked
the duke. 1T is fascinatingly prepos-
ferrous"
ION the contrary, the PARALLEL is so
close that ] cannot see how any rea-

and Christianity. Each had a special
revelation from an angel, who gave
him The text for his sacred book
, Each was said to be epileptic Each
was driven out of his home town into
a desert country and established a
militant nation there. And mark my
words, gentlemen. in Mormonism
America and the world have to face
the greatest peril that the next cen.
fury will bring"
And each taught polygamy,' said
the duke thoughtfully. But l I'M
derstand that the Saints have ceased
to advocate that doctrine. Confound
tiny poor Sibyl! Once they get her
to Utah God knows what they'll do

Lady Sibyl," said Emmanuel very
/ earnestly, do you understand the
real meaning of Mormonism? My
dear girl, you are dreadfully deceived.
| The Mormons are nothing but the
early Mohammedans reborn on earth

20, I've heard of your doctrines"
laughed Lady Sibyl. and you can't
hurt my feelings. Mr.. Axel is a peace
lover. He is sadly misrepresented.
He wants to bring all the world under
his faith, to establish peace, liberty
and Justice"
Your Mr.. Axel." answered the doc
