of a Sacred Order of Assassins" which he
organized. In his mountain stronghold, known
as the 'Vulture's Nest" he trained young men
to go forth and remove from this world such
rulers large and small as did not behave
according to Hassan's ideas of what was
right
Hassan's killers were able to get to their
victims through the efforts Of another wing
of the organization, a sort of ancient combina-
ton of OGPU or Gestapo, with Fifth Col
umn. After several predecessors relinqushed
a throne due to mysterious poison or dagger
in the back, someone would usually ascend it
with the conviction that it would be a good
idea to do as the "Old Man said. 1t got so
that even judges on the bench would take
cases under Amusement, until they got word
from the assassins as to what decision would
be right.
The personnel of the organization received
its pay mostly in the next world which was
an old idea even then but the initiation was
somewhat of a novelty The young man was
first kidnapped, then doped with hasheesh
and turned loose in a garden filled with
lovely, young women. These informed him
that he was in the Mohammedan paradise
which he had heard about and that they were

lightful hours, he became hungry and received
food containing another drug.
From this he awoke with a splitting head
ache to find himself in a filthy howell.
Brought before the "old Man" the youth was
told:
you have been in paradise and now you
are in another place. Do the work I give you
and my angels will carry you back to para
disc again"
The young man accepted the proposition
or else.

said TO have gotten rid of many times his
weight in gold at the Monte Carlo gambling
casino. The magnificent parties he gave
were the talk Of Paris and the Riviera until
the German mailed fist landed on those
places.
Mohammedans must not touch alcohol
and dry parties on the Riviera would have
been sad indeed. The guests would hardly
have enjoyed their champagne if their host
had taken only milk and mineral water.

thing he pleases without sin in his case.

to brandy, half way down his half-divine
