Sir James Cantle flatly challenges a current misconception in his state- ment: "Old age 3s just a pose. A man usually' grows old because he thinks 1t Is dignified. He sits back and lets the years do what they like with him." It is not so with this sturdy septuage- narian, who rises at 4.30 and, dances Highland flings. He shares the spirit of'Tennyson'e "Ulyasee," who could not bear to sit idle amid his island crags, or of Barrie's "Peter Pan," who refused to grow up, or of him who, ac- cording to another poet, kept the im- mortal child tarrying all his lifetime In his heart. We do not have to look long for monumental examples of.great men who, like Oliver Wendell Holmes in his poem, "The Boys," and in his per- sonal example, defied the calendar. To one such perennially young gentleman, namely, Dr. W. W. Keen, the com- munity that affectionately reveres him Is even now preparing to do honor. The will to keep youthful in the spirit seems to be the biggest part of in- senescence. The thought of growing old is chief- ly oppressive to those who never grow anything else. Most of those who pro- duce, create, achieve, are too busy to study crow's feet in the mirror or cal- culate percentages of lime in the bones or acid in the blood. They are not forever in a lonely observatory on the outlook for new symptoms. They are up and doing, with a whetted ap- petite for fresh adventure.. There is "Labrador" Cabot, of Boston, who is forever starting out WI a cue-man.ex- pedition among the Indians of the'bar- rens not very far from the desolate not where the balloon came down with Lieutenant Hinton and his Com- rades. It is useless to tell him that be is too old. You might as well try to persuade "Oom John" Burroughs to quit exploring swamps and forests and playing with squirrels. Nature, they tell us, has no favorites, but she has a way of granting to the naturalists a special grace in growing "old."

I, The sky over 01d Patience Mountain was of the brilliant, yet cold, blue of the Rockies. It was cut here and there by the prows of swift` white clouds driven by some wild current in the upper air. An eagle passed between sky and earth. Spread beneath him was the jagged slope of the mountain,,thickly grown with pines that; formed a rag- ged fringe on its summit. A moving speck caught his eyes and caused him to swerve. It was a girl swerving up the moun- tain toward the abandoned gold mine known' as Sucker Sahm's Hole. The Hole was a gap in the earth, made by tunneling under a boulder. In the rains of that spring a pine tree had fallen partly in at the entrance. Tree and cave were like a long figure -four rabbit trap. The tough boughs upheld a masa of earth and rocky in such a way that a alight weight on the roots of the uptorn tree inside the hole might dislodge the earth slide. She was a large, aloes -moving girl, and she climbed directly toward the old mine. The eagle continued scout- ing for •game. creep out before a real -earth slide came. It was totally dark. Minutes passed. Her :eyes did not grow accustomed to the intense darkness. She took alarm at it and began to push with her broad, strong shoulders at the mass of earth that imprisoned' her, at the sante' time reaching with both hands for the roots of the pine tree. The tree was gone. Her shoulders came into contact with a mighty mass of rock. A great boulder had slid be- fore theentrance to the mine. She A WONDER PALACE IN AMAZON WILLS STORY OF WI-IITE KING. OF THE NEGRO. Millionaire's klolne is Seven Hundred Miles from Last Outpost of Civilization. Pew explorers have penetrated into the wild, untrodden arena on the agate& surface and returned with a stranger story than Lieutenant Earl Church and Dr. Idamilton )lice• They have recently mapped out some 2,080 miles of the Amason and the Negro rivers, For seven months they threaded their way through the vast Jungle -- which extends for thousands of miles on either side of the Amazes—an Imn penetrable waste of tree and creeper, overhung with garlands of meas,•vivid in parts with myriads of butterflies, heavy with the dank odor of rotting vegetation, mingled With the perfume of orchids, • and everywhere silent as the ,grave. The slightest sound made by man becomes as the boom of a big gun. The two explorers travelled through this mysterious region in tbe only pos- sible way—by launch or 01.000. High above them on each side rose the fringes of the jungle, walling them In as effectually as if the river had been wallas with insurmountable cliffs, A Perilous Journey. Death lurked expectantly for them at innumerable places. Winged in- sects were a constant source of dan- ger, and when they landed on the bank at night they had to take special pre- cautions against ants, which are es • inch in length, travel in armies of mil- lions, and oat not only boots and cloth- ing, but flesh from human sones!

The girl had set foot An the old mine, and the pine tree, had collapsed. The eagle ventured nearer earth. Smell of juniper, of wild roses and of chokecherry bloom rosein a cloud. At the foot of the stone a river went with a mightythundering. The mountain stood, as always, with its head in the clouds, which were transfigured by tbe afternoon sun. The summit had a rock shape like a human face, which bore an expression of calm and had sug- gested the name "Patience Mountain." Other peaks rose about it. .All was as before the aoeident, except that a small gash of fresh earth had appear e,d on the elope. Under the heap of earth inside the old mine Margaret Sahm began to breathe again. She was slow-witted as well as slow-moving; it had been like her to tread on the overturned pine and bring a piece a the mountain down I between her and the light. Margaret'a teacher at the distniet school would have said that she wee thorough, but dull of :perception, If she had been a wild thing, she would have been easily trapped. But she was a girl who did not read- ily realize defeat. Although she was not a good student, she had insisted on entering high school and had soe- how managed to make her way through a mathematics course, Now she was taking extension work, She intended to teach school and go to college. She did not realizethe dosperate- ness of her plight. On her way up the mountain to look for a wolf den she had been considering a problem in algebra. When the earth began to elide, her niind had stayed for a sec- orl or two on the problem of x and y, and even when darkness descended an her este had not been greatly frightened. When the noise and dust subsided and she picked horaolf up from the earth, she thought orriy that ii little dirt had fallen; she must Had a gun been fired as a s gn outside? She shouted with all her strength. Whether it had been a gunshot or some accidental boom of rocks, no, -answer came. Bt.c hope had stirred' again in Margaret's heart. Now in imagination she could feel the fresh- ening wind of late afternoon; she could hear the wild noise of the river foaming white over its dark, sharp - toothed reeks and the jays that squall- ed out of the pines; she could smell juniper berries in the sun; she could see the man who 'had fires' the shot, with his gun still smoking, going away.
