An interesting traffe problem, said Mr. Pybus,, arose half a scu- tury ago in the State of Hydore
The grandfather of the present Nizam was very fond of processions, and organised one of surpassing magnificence at which the whole of the army, the dancing girls, the private and notables were present, while in their midst rode the Nizam himself on a splendid white charger.
Came the Dusk. Passing through one of the nay. row streets of the ancient capital he saw at a window "the face of most beautiful lady. He at oneu haltedo the procession, dismounted yand entered the house.
