when an Indian is left a widower, his
late wife's relatives may rightfully
claim the surviving husbands money,
clothing, furniture and even children,
for the Indian law is matriarehal in
this respect, and regards the children
as property of the mother and not the
father. Thus an Indian may be left
penniless as well as bereaved of his
helpmate. The late wife's family
however, provides for her burial.
In the same manner, when a hus-
band dies, his relatives strip the widow
of her worldly goods. However they
are supposed to provide for the. widow
a second husband who Will bring her
at least as much of this worlds goods

Several Of his victims have been

have recovered. At least a dozen young
women have received poisoned candy
from him and without exception they
have been taken violently Ill soon aft

His custom is to wait until he Is the
only passenger In the bus and then to
open a box Of chocolates and invite
the conductor to help herself. Usu-
ally the woman says she will, because
candy Is scarce and costly In London
and the conductors do not make hand
some wages. He usually asks the In
tended victim to take as much Is she
wishes, and a moment Or two after
ward leaves the bus.
All the women say they could identi-
fy him. The police are making a dill
gent search for him, but their search
does not prevent him from carrying on
his operations. There are thousands
Of motorbuses In London, and the field

Another period of silence except low

Whisper by constant practice. A Poilu

grenades on the trench shelf before him,

'parler doucement" he added.
The Boche is active again. A flock
OF hand grenades roar themselves into
silence on the other side as fiery light
streaks perform arcs like Roman can
dies and her float gracefully down
under their parachutes into the Ger
man wire. A rifle grenade explodes
halfway across No Mans Land and
Boche machine guns take up the tune.
The Boche having told the French by
the display that no German soldiers
are prowling in this part Of No Mans
Land, there is silence again until time
makes things uncertain.

nervous yet" whispered an officer.

hind him was another priest reading
from a book Of prayer. Two laymen
came next, bearing q little white paint

young women was In deep black. A

than the enlisted men and, when they
did not stop dead still, held q hand
to their caps for eight or ten PAGES in

Two soldiers were talking with two
girls of the streets. One Of the SOL

girls stopped talking to say a little
word Of prayer. Both soldiers faced
about and all four gazed in silence for

their talk, but more slowly and not
