Wife Must Die With Husband

When a native dies at Arowi, Aus
tralia, his wife Is killed. Her arms are
pinioned by two other married women.
who sit on her legs. A strong rope
from plated fibres is placed round her
neck and drawn taut by four men,
two on each side, until the blood oozes
from the nose and mouth. At this
juncture man places one hand un-
derneath the victims chin, and the
other on the top Of her head, and
twists the head until the neck is
broken. The belief is held that unless
the wife is killed the man will not
reach the Arrowi equivalent for
Heaven, but If both die they immedi-
ately go there.

The Right Twin for

That's my ultimatum, jerry" said
Jerry's father slowly, and the finality
OF his tone lent emphasis to his words.
"rm tired Of your devil-may-care
ways and the wild crowd of young
people you travel with. Cut it out, my
son, find girl like your mother, marry
her and settle down. Or else get out
and shift for yOurself!"
Young Jerry Cowles slumped in his
chair, looked moodily up at his father
towering over him. Harsh words,

"but mean them nevertheless.

Jerry WINGED. Was his father visu-

some Of those terms applied? Becky
LenOx, with whom he was frightfully
in love!

my daughter-in-law, and I'll furnish
your home for wedding present, set

to you on my death and take you into
the business as junior partner. I'm
that anxious to have you make sue

Jerry rose impulsively. IL

over"
But as he turned away to dress for
the Lenox dance at the Lawn club his
heart was heavy within him. Becky

moral depravity and for whom the

1t was during the intermission on
the cool, darkened veranda that Jerry
poured out his woes to the sparkling,
