DAY Of AT0NEEMAIENT
COMES ON WEDNESDAY
HOliest Day of Entire Year on
Jewish Calendar to Be OBJ
served This Week

The Day of Atonement, or Yom
Alppur, is regarded by all Jews as
the hottest day in the calendar of
the Synagog. 1t will be observed
from sunset Wednesday evening
September 10th, to sunset on
Thursday evning, September 20.
IN all synagogs of the world. On
this day the most poignant and awe
inspiring litanies and prayers are
recited. No other HOLIDAY of the
Synagog has been endowed with
quite such significance and solemn
ity.
In the Pentateuch the Day of
Atonement is represented as a
prfestly ceremony wherein the high
priest Of the Temple performed
the important function of expiration
for the sanctuary, the priesthood
and, incidentally, the people. To
the common people this day had no
particular Importance, beyond that
attached to the Sabbath excepting
the fact that they were to observe
it as fast day in order to OBJ
tain pardon for their sins.
There was in ancient times
primitive rite practiced in connec-
ton with Yom Kippur. Two goats
were selected one of which was
sent to Azazel, the demon of the
desert, to bear away the sins of the
people, while the other was offer
ed as a sacrifice to the Lord. This
rite was abandoned before the
common era.
In its earlier setting Yom Kip
ppr seems to have been day of
communion on the part of the high
priest with God. 1t was he who
confessed his sins and those of the
people and implored forgiveness.
On this day it was believed that
the high-priest actually beheld the
Majesty of God. For it was on this
day that he entered the Holy of
Holes.

USE MARKED STAMPS
IN TRAPPING WOMAN
Obscene Letter Writer Sentenced
to, Prison After Evading Ar
rest Long Time

LITTLEHAMPTON, Eng, Sept.
1S.- With the sentence Of Edith
Swami, a S2-year-old seamstress
here, as the woman with the poison
pen, comes to a close a tragedy that
blighted the happiness of many,
wrecked the lives of an innocent
family and kept a guiltless woman
in Jail for months.
Three years ago this little sea-
side town began to seeth with poi
son pen letters. Almost everybody
was getting them. Some were al
most driven to distraction. The au-
thorities seemed helpless. Finally
suspicion was cast upon a woman.
Mrs. Rose Gooding, highly re-
spectacle, living here with her hus-
band and children, was arraigned
on charge of being the guilty
person. The principal witness
against her was Edith Swami.
On her testimony, Mrs, Gooding
was convicted and given ten days
in Jail. But the letters did not
cease.
In March, 1921, Mrs. Gooding
was once more brought into court.
Once more a jury found her guilty
of being the author of the letters
and this time Justice Avory SEN
fenced her to IL months imprison-
ment. But the letters kept right
on.
Thanks to the 6isinteresteG work
Of a police constable, who was a
friend of The fami,,,., Mrs. Good
ing's innocence was absolutely
proven. She was released after
serving two months of the sentence
and the government gave her $50
pounds in compensation for the
wrong done her.
Soon ther was a dramatic change.
Edith Swami, who had twice been
the chief prosecuting witness, was
now herself placed in the dock as
the writer of an obscene letter to
neihbor's wife. She was aequit-
ted.
The lthorities were at their
wits end. The police and the post
office Inspectors finally worked out
a scheme whereby they would sell
marked stamps to various people
under. suspicion and then watch to
see how the stamps were used
Nothing came of it until one day
they claimed to have completely
trapped Edith Swarm. She was
once more arrested charged with
mailing en- obscene letter to sani
tary inspeC' or.
The jury found her guilty. Just.
ice Avory sentenced her to II
-fionths Imprisonment.

Moorhouse, hardly awake, reach

Suddenly, as his bcnumbcd facul-

ways a restless sleeper, his pillow
lay-a shapeless mass-to one side,
and the weapon had presumably
dropped to the floor without wax

self, he reached down, cropping
uncertainty in all directions. The
flimsy curtains, blowing listlessly
in light breeze, touched his cheek
and. bringing his head suddenly
upward, he saw, as if dangled from
the bedpost-a silver hand. The
thing lowered there, glittering in
the patch Of light, and for some
moments he stared at it. He with
drew his gaze with an effort, a
wild hope revolving in his brain.

The outcome of this British poi
son pen case recalls the Maxwell
affair in America. After suspicion
had been cast upon him, and a

Since then those experts have per-

man recoiled and the magistrate,
rolling to one side, avoided the fall
of the knife by a hairs breadth.
He caught the fierce breath of the
bandit-and third form, gliding
stealthily from behind the door,
pushed between Chai-Hung and his
lieutenant. 1t was Guaya! Her
garment was torn and travel-stain-
ed and her black hair fell in waves
over her dark shoulders.
Moorhouse did not understand
the meaning Of her disheveled
tresses, until the dagger with the
jeweled hilt sped downward. She
drove it with triumphant force be-
tween Nyi-Hau's shoulders-and
the creature pitched headlong
across the D. o.
Struggling to free himself Of
his nauseous burden, Moorhouse
did not see how Kuaya died. He
heard her little, painting cry and
threw Nyi-Hau from him to dis
cover Chai-hung forcing his great
bulk through the window frame,
leaving his knife behind.
The automatic aaughr his eye. He
vaulted to the floor and, snatch
ing it up, emptied the entire clip
into the tropic stillnes. Presently
he saw that the silver hand had
escaped the fugitive and rolled to
corner.
"Guaya,'i he whispered softly, 81

He fell on his knees beside her,
thinking that she had tainted, but
the shapcly shoulders that his fin
gers touched were unresponsive.
