take his captors. The bandits were not to
be found
Some four or five months later be-
dragged stranger arrived in town from
the West driving a cart full of handsome
rugs. The Governor and all the merchants
OF the town were invited to view them
The Governor in particular was at
tracted by one excellent piece of workman
ship and beauty of design, principally be-
cause in its border was a row of Persian
characters which apparently had no mean
ing. He questioned the stranger, who
could scarcely speak Persian, and there
fore could not explain the writing. The
Governors curiosity was excited and he
bought the rug
When the Governor had had the rug
delivered at his house and was showing
1t to his favorite wife and her daughter
the latter shrieked and Immediately be-
gan to inspect the writing closely.
It's message from Hail. she ex-
claimed. It's in a code we made up and
he says he has been a prisoner all this
time in the mountains, and he tells how
to find the camp
THE Governor ordered out his horse
men and rode at their head with his daugh-
ter, who refused to be left behind. Think
ing that he could accomplish double pur-
pose of recovering the young trader and
striking at what probably would be the
bandits cache the Governor ordered extra
speed and within half days hard riding
had reached Nazi Ruli's secret camp in
the mountains.
1.-THE bandits were away on a raid, and
the Governor found only few guards,
who were easily overpowered He also
found a considerable company of women,
wives and slaves of the Arabian, and
one beautiful young maiden-the sheiks
daughter.
Haiti, the young trader, was not in
camp. Only few days previously one Of
the captured guards explained he had es-
capped somehow from a closely guarded
tent Inside his quarters were found his
loom and his blankets.
Marveled at the Story
OF the Famous Love Rug
"The sheik's daughter, who begged not
to be taken captive, told how she had
helped Haiti make the rug. She had taught
him many things he had not known about
weaving, but she always had been mysti-
fled by strange foreign characters which
he had insisted on weaving"
Nothing further was heard of the young
trader, so the Persian merchants story
went. He was believed to have persisted
in the mountains. The rug was the dear
est possession Of the Governors daughter
until she died some years later. Then it
somehow got to Teheran, where the mer-
chant had heard the story and had thought
the carpet worthy of sale in Europe, in

ports. Regiment after regiment of hob

thing smearing its rainbow tints to the
color OF mud and tearing its delicate edges
to a fringe.
The last doughboy gone, Killujian ten
derby folded the rug, logged it off to his
lodging-place and with broom and vacuum
set to work to remove every atom of dust

Soon Warm Friendship
Began With the Daughter

soon, It seems. there sprang up warm
friendship between the trader and one Of
the Governors daughters by his fayorite
wife. The couple we're often seen together
clandestinely in the grounds of the Gov
ernors house and 1t was generally believed
that soon the Governor might be asked for
HIS consent to their marriage.
zone day the Governor and some of his
attendants and some merchants of the
town, including the young trader, were
making jaunt to community in the
furthest part Of the province, when the
party was attacked by Nazi Ruli and his
brigands. After the bandit force had been
driven off in some hard fighting the Gov
ernor found that few Of his guards had
been killed and that the young trader was
missing, captured in the fighting
when the Governor returned to his town
his daughter seemed particularly saddened
by the disappearance Of the trader, SO the
Governor sent out a strong force to over

that a law would be drafted insuring the
Pope the position as head of the Catholic
Church. The law was based on interna-
tional law rather than italian, and conse-
quently there could be no alteration of it
by the Italian Government This abro-
gated the possibility Of governmental
meddling in church affairs, and the law
has become binding for the Italian Govern
ment, and the Italian Government was so
completely bound by IL that only by an act
Of violence in violation of the international
obligation which it had voluntarily under
taken could any of the tenets be altered.
Countries Once Exercised
Power Over The Election
At one period the Catholic Powers Of
Austria, Portugal and Spain had the right
to challenge or veto the election of certain
Cardinals of whom they disapproved to the
Papacy. Austria asserted this nominal
right on two occasions, the first being in
the case of Cardinal Mastai, who, however,
had been elected two days before the ar
rival of the message at the Vatican. The
same Power challenged the right Of cleo
sion VI the idte Cdlulhal i"hPOio, wv
giving rise to such a storm OF Indignation
among the voting Cardinals that the sub
ject OF the Austrian protest received an
extra vote.
The right OF every Cardinal to enter the
conclave is Interchangeable and indisputable.
Neither accommodation nor misconduct
can deprive him Of the right-however real
and heinous or however fancied his miscon-
duct might be. Popes have at various
times fought by every means In their power
including communications prevent
certain Cardinals from taking part In the
conclave that would follow their deaths,

two-thirds vote is obtained at the first

The progress of the balloting is con-

frayed, for newer and brighter one.
Now, close on the trail, Killujian
searched out the rug dealer who had made
the exchange, and at last in San Fran
cisco he found him-one En- Fiajian.
There was the rug spread out on the floor
OF the dealers shop!
En- Fiajian was induced to part with the
rug only after considerable bargaining and
for stiff price, which Killujian somehow

mortalize the Love Rug of Teheran with
the footprints of the worlds notables. To
Versailles he went and as the great men
of the Allies mounted the steps to take
their seats at the peace table there was
the rug to greet them. Presidents and
Premiers walked over it as the confer
ence progressed. When the moment came
for the signing of the documents that put
an end to war. the Love Rug was under
the peace table in the centre of the Hall
of Mirrors.
1t was an incident that Killujian, with
his rug over his shoulder, was arrested as
a spy and Jailed. 1t also was an incident
that Clemenceau learned of his imprison.

AS soon as a definite result has been
obtained the ceremony of signifying the
result of It is begun The Cardinals sit
waiting under their purple canopies, and

The canopies are let down, one by one
over the Cardinals, and when all have

England, perhaps, to which he was TAX
ing it.
Young Thomas often marveled at the
story of the Love Rug When he had
grow to manhood war spread all over
Europe and Asia Minor Turkish scimitars
were unsheathed among the Armenians
and every time they flashed the life of a
Christian was sacrificed in the horrible
massacres. Killujian gathered together his
few possessions and fed, leaving his uncle,
his brothers and sisters, all his family,
slain.
On board the English ship which carried
him away from Trebizond there were other
Armenian refugees together with some
Persians. They had heard other stories
about the Love Rug of Teheran and lis
tened while Thomas related his version
Arrived in England, his imagination
thrilled by the romance of the rug, Killu
jan set out to find it,
In strange land and by use of what
Persian he knew, he eventually found after
three years rug merchant who had had
dealings with the Persian merchant of the
Trebizond inn. The rug had been sold,
the dealer was quite sure, to the occupant
of Gladstone House. in Glasgow Thomas
FASTENED to Glasgow to find that the fur
nishings had been sold at auction and scat

The rug was gone
Through the auctioneer Killujian found
that the rug had been sold to wealthy
American and transported to New York
After some difficulty the young man got
tc New York, where he learned that the
purchaser, Mr.. Fergus, had died, and
that the rug had been sold again at auc-
ton in Madison avenue to an
other wealthy American, who
had presented it to his son in
California. ID

should grace the platform on
which was to stand the symbol
of freedom and equality. And
so 1t was that the bell was
mounted and stood throughout
the exposition on the silken folds
of the Love Rug of Teheran. It
also happened that when Roose-
welt and Goethals and Taft and
the host of other world famous
figures visited the fair they were
received on the rug.
Then came the war. With his
priced rug over his shoulder,
Killujian went to France, arriv-
ing in time to spread his rug
under the feet of the American

Then to Washington went Killujian and
his rug, there to lay 1t under the feet of
President Harding as he entered the White
House. When the United States rose to
do honor to the Unknown Dead, the rug
was at the feet of the throngs that en-
tered and left the gateway to Arlington
Cemetery.
To-day the Love Rug has a place in the
council of nations at the Arms Conference,
to remain until that meeting is ended.
And because Of its associations the carpet
likely will have prominent place in many
other important events. In all its adven-
lures since it emerged from Persia the
history and travels of the rug are fairly
well known.
But still there remains the puzzle of
its early life-its story before it left
ancient Persia
The rug still is waiting for some one
who can find the key to its message. who
can unfold from its cryptic writing the
meaning it meant to convey to its first
recipient and the dramatic circumstances
of its making
