According to the Arabian tradition, Eve

this would be in keeping with the great

Every seven years thousands of devoted
Ishmaelites make a pilgrimage to this

on the Sd OF June, which date represents
the anniversary of the death OF Abel, the
door of the temple forming canopy over

So far as is known there Is no record of
a similar situation. Funds have been set

State of New Jersey, lies the beau
tiful tropical Island of Ceylon, an island
of Asia, known as far back as the time of
the ancient Greeks and Romans but con-
quered by Great Britain in 1896 and now
one OF her colonies, ruled by Governor
chosen by the Crown. It's name means ''the
Island of Lions" but in its jungles to-day
wild elephants live and roam at will
Ceylon is a beautiful island, with high
mountains, rich valleys and plains covered
with palms and splendid tropical plants.
One of its mountains is called Adams
Peak from an old tradition of the Moham-
medans, who believe that great footprint
on a rock at the summit of the mountain
was made by Adam when he was driven
from the Garden of Eden. This mountain
is more than mile high, is conical in
shape and so steep that 1t has to be climbed
by means of a chain which is fastened to
the summit. One would think that being
so steep 1t was not often climbed, but two
factions make it shrine, and every year

a wealthy widow, who lived several blocks
from the steel mills. The dog seemed to
recognize an affinity of some sort between
itself and Mrs. Howard and promptly an
nexed her as its mistress.

They recall that one of the most painful
episodes in the little dogs career was
when she put up a brave battle with
neighbor's dog over an extra bone which
Minerva" had given to stray pup that had
wandered into Mrs. Howards back yard.

the bone away from the vagrant and
