But I will not ask you to believe this upon my assertion, You shall judge for yourself, if you will allow me to ask for my letters here." Lashmar rang the bell and Mr. Nes- torius's letters were brought, among them a packet of printer's proofs, which Nestorius opened, unrolled and arranged in sequence with the deft- ness of hands accustomed to dealing with proofs. `Read for yourself," he said, "when you have an hour's leisure.

They were shown into Lite dismal drawing -room. They waited about ten minutes, which seemed fifty to Lashmar's impetienee, and then the door opened, and- two rather commonplace -looking ladies en- tered the room. The first was a little old woman in a skimpy black silk gown, a sort of gown which such old ladies wear from year's end to year's end till it drops to pieces. The second was a girl of middle height, very fair, with insipid, flaxen hair, dull and dead looking as tow, and the most expres- a'n 11....3 nn.. •.1., PPP ...^ -hmar•. had ▪ g -room refreshed and rejuvenated, but he did not stay to luncheon. He left 'a little note for Lord Lash'tnar to the effect that he had an appointment in Brumm, and that he would meet him at half -past three in the coffee -room of the Lion and Lamb, when they would go to- gether to the cave of the sibyl. Having. thus stolon a march upon Lashmar, and left himself free to pur- sue his inquiries, unhelped and unhin- dered, Mr. Nestorius hired a fly in the village and drove to Brumm,where he first took a hasty luncheon. and then did three or four hours' private detective work on his own account, ex- ploring street after street, inquiring closely in all manner of quietly re- spectable neighborhoods where such a girl as Stella might naturally seek for an inexpensive lodging; but by a strange fatality, avoiding just that one long narrow street, on the way to the cemetery, and that one particu- lar chandler's shop in which the Chap - mans had their dwelling place.; He was weary, disheartened, and' al- together disgusted with himself at half -past Cour o'clock, when, punctual to thevery minute, he entered the ho- tel coffee -room, and found Lashmar drooping despondently over a loeal newspaper. The police had been able to tell him nothing. It was as if the earth bad opened and swallowed the girl for whom they were searching. "She must have gone to London," said Lashhnar; "that is the only plaoe in which. any one could so completely vanish from human ,ken." Nestorius knew she had not gone to London, but he held his peace. They were alone in the coffee -room where ;there was no fire, and where ever seen. " I hope your ladyship's distinguish- ed friend does not come here to scoff," said Mrs. Minchin. Mr. Nestorius explained that there was nothing further from his thoughts than scoffing. " You look it," said the old lady, gaz- ing up at him admiringly. "I can see faith and enthusiasm ire your face. Begin, Griselda, begin," aide added,with an excitable air. , " Your young frients ,1 name is Gris- elda?" asked Nestorius. Her real name is Sarah Ann Cur- tis," replied Mrs. Minchin, "Griselda is the name the spirits gave her when she first came to live with me. It is the name by which she is known in the spirit world." Nestorius and Lashmar were both gazing earnestly at the young lady so baptized. It taxed their faith con- siderably to be told there could be sympathy and oonimuniou ` between this stolid looking creature and that, world of disembodied souls. Never did any human countenance seem more of the earth earthy: To Be Continued: LAST OF THE ESQUIMAU". pAsscic wikla A STRANnE RA TOR IS RAPIDLY Ttere is imminent clauger of tbe to cal extermination, of the squinciteu ing with the disease tlae patients wil not remain in placee of warmth, bu almost invariably seek the owl places sleeping out of doors in tne rain or on the cold. damp ground, and pneu- monia ensues.

A flap is spread over the top so that a portion of it may be re- moved to allow smoke to pass out, and to let tbe fresh air enter when the weatheir is particularly wenn. The entrance is by means of another similar pit several feet away, front which a tunnel is run, coming up through the floor of the main or liv- ing room. Here the winter's provisions are stored, and here the entire family sometimes eight or ten people, live, eat and sleep. When the weather le excessively cold the flap at the top is drawn down tightly and the air in the pit is breathed over and over again, while the sanitation often as- sumes a frightful condition, causing people to marvel that any of the na- tives survive. •They get their fire hy burning oil irna basin, around the sides of whicb tiny bits of twisted strings are ar- ranged in lieu of wicks.

Vermin flourish in such, circumstances, and many of these old bouses that have been abandoned for years contain lice in such numbers that it is danger- ous for travellers to make their camp- ing ground within hailing distance over night. While shut up in these little pits the natives occupy themselves by manu- facturing spears, clothing and boats far use when the season opens, and by carving odd knick-k-naeks from the ivory Cif the walrus, to be sold -to the white curio gatherer. Many of them are very adept in this line and make handsome smoking pipes, pipe stems, cigar holders, watch guards, sleeve buttons, and other articles of ivory, carving designs of walruses, Indians, fish and various objects on them re- markably true to life. A favorite bit of work for. theM is to make a watch guard from- twelve to fifteen inches long out of one piece of ivory, the links being tiny seals or. walruses al- ternating with buman hands or fishes or polar bears. The ivory obtained frora the walrus le put to numerous uses. From it they make their spears keives and runners fer sledges. Fre- quently sledges are seen with run - news ten feet long made of ivory and so skilfully put together that it is dificult to see the joints. The advent of the white man in the reigion has taken from the natives Sev- e)ral of their main support% a.ncl is in a large measure responsible for the cruel decimation of their numbers by dieease and !want.

FREB FROM TAXATION, In Sweden is a town wbose example might be followed with advantage by auy community that desired eventual freedom from taxation. This is Orsa, which, 40 years ago, covered an available towu Nvith plantations of tiraber trees. Oree's Town Coun- cil now sells timber at the rate of $150,000 a year, and with the proceeds pays the bills for all xnunieipal ex- penses, ineluding street railway and On the seventy-seventh degree of latitude, on the. icy coast of Green- land, is a tiny town of 231 inhabitants whioh enjoys the distinction of being the most northerly town in the world. Its inhabitants pay no taxes of any description, for , the simple reason that money is absolutely unknown. Towards the extremity of the other hemisphere is another town, the peo- ple of,. which are moneyless, but not poor. This is the Communist colony of Oosme, in Paraguay. All intend- ing Cosme settlers must absolutely accept Communistic principles and be total abstainers. They must, too, de- posit a sum of money sufficient to pay their return ticket.
