CIIAPTitB 1.
In tho inerhlo-floored vestibule of the
'Metropolitan Graml Hotel in Buffalo,
Profeeear Stilisot Boomark stood and look-
ed about hitn with the maxima manner of a
person unused to the gaud oplendor of the
modern Amoriou i

" professor n
0 I paused
deor and Isoh
' o be-
gan to fear that he hod unlovedi�cautatan inoppor•
tune time,—that something unusual was
ggoiug on. The hurry and bustle bewildered
him. A man with a abontoriau but mon•
otenous and mournful voioo was filling the
air with the information that a brain was
aboutto start for Albany, Saratoga, Troy,
Boston, New York and the Last. When
he came to the words "The East" his voice
dropped to a sad minor key, as if the man
despaired of tho fate of those who took
their departure In that direction. .Every
now and then a brazen gong Bounded sharp-
ly, and one of the negroes who eat in a row
ori a bench along the mnrble•penelled wall
Iaprang forward to the counter, took some-
body's handbaganddisappeared in the direc-
tion of the elevator, with the nowly.an•ived
guest following him, Groupe of mon stood
here and there oonvoi:dug, heedless of the
rush of arrival and departure around them.
All this was very ethane to the professor,
,and he felt himself in a new world, with
whose custom ho was not familiar. No-
body paid the slightest attention to him as
he stood there among it all wibh his satchel
in his hand. As he timidly edged up to the
counter and tried to acounmlate courage
.enough to address the clerk, a young man
came forward, flung his grip on the polished
top of the counter, metaphorically brushed
the professor aside, pulled the bulky regia -
ter towards him, and inscribed his 110.1110 on
the page with a rapidity equalled only by
the illegibility of the result.
" Hello, Sam," he said to the clerk.
4! " How's things ? Get my telegram ?"
" Yes, ' answered the clerk ; " but Ican't

to hold on
with my teeth to do that."
rThe reply of the young man was merely
a brief mention of the place of torment.
1? "It is hot," said the clerk, blandly, "In
from Cleveland ?"
"Yes. Any letters for me?'
"Couple of telegrams. 'You'll find them
up in s5."
"Oh, you were cook•etre I'd take that
zoom?"
"1 was cook -euro you'd have to. It is
either that or tho fifth floor. We're fall.
'Couldn't give a bettor room to the Preei•
dent if he came."
"Oh, well, what's good enough for the
President I can put up with for a couple of
days."
The hand of the clerk descended on the
bell. The negro sprang forward and took
Mi the grip. " Eighty-five,' said the clerk ;
r and the drummer and the negro disappear-
,,
lt ed.
t"Is there any place where I could leave
At
my bag for a while?" the professor at last
( said timidly to the clerk.
,f „Yourbag?" .
I The professor held it up in view.
"Oh! your grip. Ceriniely. Have a
room, sir?' And the clerk's hand hovered
4 over the bell.
No. At least, not just yot. You sec,
Z,m--„
"All right. Tho baggage•man there to
the loft will check it for you."
" Any letters for Bond?" said a man,
pushing himself in front of the professor.
The clerk pulled a fat bunoh of letters from
the compartment marked "B" and handed
the whole lot to the enquirer, who went
rapidly ovor them, selected two that 0.p.
peered to be addressed to him, and gave
the bench a push towards the clerk, who
placed thein where they ware before.
.Although the professor was to a oertatn
extent bewildered by the condition of things,
there was still in his nature a certain dog-
ged persistence that had before now stood
him in good stead, and which had enabled
him to distance in the long run, much more
brilliant men. He was not at all satisfied.
with his brief interview with the clerk. He
resolved to approach that busy individual
again if he could arrest his attention. It
was some time before he caught the speak-
er's eye, as it were, but when he did so he
said,—
" I was about to say to you that I am
waiting for a friend from New York who
may not yet have arrived. His name is Mr.
Richard Yates, of the—"
" Oh 1 Diok Yates. Certainly. He's
here." Turning to the negro he said,—
" Go down to the billiard -room and see
if Mr, Yates is there. If he is not look for
him at the bar."
The clerk evidently now Mr. Diolr Yates.
Apparently not noticing the look of amaze-
ment that had stolen over rho profeosor'e
face the clerk said,—
"If you wait in the reading room I'll
v' send Yates to you when he oomee, The
boy will find him if ice's in the house ; but
, he may be up•town,"
I The professor, disliking to trouble the
obliging clerk further, did not ask him
whore the reading -room was. He inquired
instead of a hurrying porter, and received
i the curt but oomprehensive answer,—
"Dining-roont next floor. Reading.,
smoking., and writingaooms up the hall.
Billiard'roont, bar, and lavatory down -
stake."
The professor after petting into the
barbershop and the ogar•storo, finally
•found his way into the reading -room.
Numerous daily papers nattered
a ers were attered
around on the table, each attached to a
long olumay cleft arrangomonb of wood,
while outer dailies, siinilardy ououmbered,
hung from ranks against the wall. The pro•
i�' feasor sat down in one of the easy leather•
covered ahaira, but, inebead ot taking up a
paper, drew a thin book from his pocket,
in whioh he was soon so absorbed that he
becameenbirely unconscious of his strange
surroundings. A light tough on the shoal•
der brought him up from hie book into the
world again, rn•1 to saw looking down on
him the stern face of a heavily -moustached
stranger,
"8 beg your pardon, sir, but may I ask if
you aro n guest of this !louse?"
A shade of apprehension (ironed the pro.
feseor'e faoe as he Blipped the book into his
pocket. Ho had vaguely felt that he wax

his action was too flagrant toadmit; of
L t o fl r dt de•
fonoo, so be attempted none. Suddenly the
countenance of 1110 questioner lit up with a
smile, and he emote the professor on the
shoulder.
"Well, old stiok•ie-Lhe•muil, you haven't
changed a particle in fifteen years. You
don't mean to pretend you dont know
me ?"
"You can't—yon can't be Richard
Yates ?"
"I not only can; but I can't be anybody
else. I know, because I have often tried.
Well, well, well, wolf 1 Stilly we used to
call you, don't,you remember? 1'11 never
forget that time we eau... ' Oft in the etilly
night' front of your winow when you wore
studying for the exame, You always ware
a quiet fellow, Stilly. I've been waiting for
you nearly a whole clay. I was up just now
with a patty of friends when the boy brought
me your card. A little philanthropic gather
•
ing,—sort of mutual benefit arrangement,
you know: oaoh of us contributed what we
could spare into a general fund, which was
given to some deserving person in the
crowd."
"Yes," said the profoesor, dryly. " I
heard the clerk telling the boy whore he
world bo most likely to find you,"
"Olt, you did, eh?" cried Yates with a
laugh. " Yes, Sam generally knows where
to send for me ; but he needn't have been so
darned public about it. Being a newspaper
man, I know what ought to go in print and
what should have the blue penoil run
through it. Sam is very discreet, as a
general thing ; bob than bo knew, of oonrse,
the moment bo set eyes on you, that you
wore an old pal of mine."
Again Yates laughed, a very bright and
cheery laugh for so evidently winked a
man.
" Come along," he said, taking the pro-
fessor by the arm. " Wo must get you
located.
They passed out into the hall and drew
up at the clerk's counter.
"I say Sam," cried Yates, "can't you do
something better for us than the fifth floor!
I didn't opine to Buffalo to engage in bal.
looning. No sky -parlors for mo, if I can
help it."
" I'm sorry, Diok," said the clerk, "but I
expect the fifth floor will be gone when the
Chicago express gots in."
" Well, what can you do for us, any.
how ?"
"I can let you have 518. That's the next
room to yours. Really, they're the most
comfortable rooms in the house this tveath•
or. Fine lookout over the lake. I wouldn't
mind having a sight of the Lake myself, if I
could leave the desk."
"All right. But I didn't come to look at
the lake, nor yet at the railroad -tracks this
side, nor at Buffalo Creek either, beautiful
and romantic as it is, nor to listen to the
clanging of the ten thousand loonmotives
that pass within hoaxing distance, for the
delight of your guests, The fact is, that,
always excepting Chicago; Buffalo is more
like—for the Professor's sake I'll say Hades
than any other place in America."
"Oh, Buffalo's all right," said the olork,
with that feeling of local loyalty which all
Amerioaus possess. "Say, are you here on
this Fenian amp ?"
"What rental snap?" asked the news-
paperman.
" Oh ! don't you know aboub it ? I thought
the moment I saw you that you wore hero
for this affair. Well, don't say I told you,
but I can put you on to one of the big gtma
if you want the particulars. They say
they're going to take Canada. I told 'em
that I wouldn't take Canada as a gift, let
alone fight for it. I've been there,"
Yates's newspaper instinct thrilled him
as he thought of the possible sensation.
Then the light slowly died out of his eyes
when he looked at tho professor, who had
flushed somewhat' and compressed his lips
as he listened to the slighting remarks on
his country.
" Well, Sam," said the nowapaper.nutn
at last, " it isn't more than otos in a life-
time that you'll find me give theo-by to a
pine of news, but the fact is, I'm on my
vaeatior just now• About the first I've
had for fifteen years : so you see I mutt take
care of it, No, let the Argus get scooped, if it
wants to. They'll value my services all the
more when I get back. No. 518, I think
you said?"
The clerk handed over the key, and the
professor gave the boy tho check for his
valise, at Yates's suggestion.
"Now get a hove on you," said Yates to
the elevator -boy. "We're going right
through with you."
And so the two friends wore shot up to.
gather to the fifth floor.

CHAPTER IL
The skyparlor, as Yates had termed it,
certainly commanded a very extensive vie w.
Immediately underneath was a wilderness
of roofs. Further along were bho railroad
tracks that Yates objected to, and a line
of masts and propeller -funnels marked the
wiuclinge of Buffalo Crook, along whose
banks arose numerous huge elevators, oath
marked by some tromeudoue letter of the
alphabet done in white paint against the
big brown of the building . Stili
farther to the west was a more grateful and
comforting sight for a hot day. The blue
lake, dotted with white sails and an ooca-
aional trail of smoke, lay shimmering in the
broiling euu. Over the water, through the
distant summer haze, there could be seen
the dim line of the Canadian shore.
"Sit you down," cried Yates, puttin
both hands on the other's shoulders and
pushing him into a chair near the window.
Thenplaoing hie finger on the eleotric but-
ton, lie added, "What will you drink ?"
"I'll take a gln00 of water, if it can be

Yates's hand dropped from the eleobrio
button hopolssely to Itis side, and he looked
reproachfully at the professor.
"Great heavens I" ho cried ; "have

"Thank you, no. A glass of water will

"Thanks. I can be depended on for

NowI'ntol you calve of

time does Ily 1 When T loft I tried teaohing
for ono short month, 1 had some theories
on the education of our youth which did
not 000in to chime in with the prejndioee the
sohool trustees had already formed on the
eubjeet."
The professor was at once all attention.
Touoh a man on hie business and he genes
ally responds by being mtereatat.
"And what were your theories?" he ask•
eel,
" Well, I thought a teacher should look
after the phyecal as well as tho mental
welfare of his pepile. It did not seen to
Ino that his duty to those under hie charge
ended with mere book -learning."
" 1 quite agree with you," said the pro.
feeaor, cordially.
" Thanks. Well, tho trustees didn't. I
joined the boys at their games, hoping my
example would have an influence on their
oondece on the playground as well as in the
eahool•room. We got up a rattling good
eriekot•alub. Xou may not remember that
I stood rather better at cricket in the acad•
emy then I did in mathomabice one grammar.
By handicapping me with several poor
players and having the best players among
the boys in opposition, we made a pretty
evenly matched team at school -section
No. 12. One day at noon we began a
game, The grounds were in 0xaell-
ent condition, and the opposition boys were
at their best. My aide was getting the
worst ot it. I was very much interested,
and when one o'clock came I thought ib a
pity to call shoot and spoil so good and in -
Wresting a contest. The boys were uuani•
mouely of the same opinion. The girls
were happy picnicking ander the trees. So
we played cricket all the afternoon."
"I think that was carrying your theory
a little too far," said the professor, dubious-
ly"Just what the trustees thought when
they came to hear of it. So they dismissed
me ; and I thick my leaving was the only
case on record where the pupils genuinely
mourned a teacher's depertnre. I shook the
dust of Canada from my feet, and have
never regretted it. I trammed to Buffalo,
shaking the dust off my feet at every step.
Hello 1 here's your drinks at last, Stilly. I
had forgotten about them,—an unusual
thing with me,—That's all right, boy;
charge it to room 513.—Ab 1 that hits the
spot on a hot day. Well, where was I?
Oh, yes: at Buffalo. I got a plane on a
paper hero, at just enough to keep life in
inn ; but I liked the work. Then I drifted
to Rochester at a bigger salary, afterwards
to Albany at a still bigger salary, and of
course Albany is only a fav hours from New
York, aud that is where all newspaper -mon
ultimately drift to, if they are worth their
salt. I saw a small 080010n of the war as
special correspondent, got hurt, audround-
od up in the hospital. Silva thon,although
only a reporter, I am about the top of the
tree in that lino, and make enough stoney
to pay my poker debts and purchase iced
drinks to soothe the asperities of the game.
When there is anything big going on
anywhere in the country, 1 am there,
with other fellows to do the drudgery,
I writing up the picturesque deserip•
tions and interviewing the big men.
My stuff goes red-hot over tho tele-
graph -wire, and the humble postage•
stamp knows my envelopes no more. I ant

should be rich, for 1 make plenty, but the
hole at the top of my troueers.pockot has

to be able to get it mended. Now you've
listened] with your customary patience in
order to give my aelf•esteem, as you nal -
ed it, full sway. I am grateful. I will
reciprocate. How about yourself ?"
The professor spoke slowly. "1 have had
no such adventurous career," ho began. "1

feet, and have nee made any great sueoo0s.
I have simply plodded,and am in no dancer
of becoming rioh, although I suppose I

"I thought perhaps it might bo a eoro

"0f course I was, —and am still, for that

Q thought it was proved that you helped
to put the pony in the Principal's room."
"Oh,certainly. That. Of oourse, But what
I detested was the way the Principal work•

to turn evldonoo against us, and Spink
stated I originated the affair, whoreae I
could claim no suoh honor. It was Spink's

ALEXANDER AND OLEOFATRA.
Discovery or tree rooks of Those Great
Celebrities of Antiquity.
I wrote you from London, says a Correa•
pendent of the Boston Advertiser, of the
discovery iniAlexaudira six weeks ago of the
tombs of Alexander aud Cleopatra. Hero is
the letter sent to Aberdeen wltith describes
the remarkable find
" The tombs are intent and no doubt as
the excavations proceed the tombsofall the
Ptolemier will be brought to light. There
is no doubt about the matter, as the names
of the occupants are one the doors. The
doors are of bronze and covered with Greek
inscriptions. Hero and there the bronze
has corroded, so that with the aid of a
magnesium light they could see the marble
sarcophagi aud lots of other things in the
rooms. Some of the vaults seem to bo Fall
of rolls and parohntonts, but this is mato
guesswork on the part of the observers. All
will be cleared up when the khedive returns
from Constantinople, as he istosuperintend
the opening of Alexander's and Cleopatra's
tombs."
Dr. Grant Bey, the writer of the letter,
dated Sane 17, goes on to say 1 " Lots of
beautiful vases and gold things have been
found, and a 111001 beautifully executed
stela, in whose tomb they found a crown of
gold. My information is at first hand,
beoanse I bad a long conversation with the
proprietor of the land and the manager of
the dogging this afternoon. In the course
of digging the Greek gentleman came upon
a pit that led down to a series of vaults
thirty feet below the surface. Those are
the tombs of the Ptolemies and the one
exposed to view is that of Cleopatra. The
other's have still to bo exoavated, but they
are there—only all the passages aro filled
with earth. Twenty feot deeper, and only
six feet above sea level, is Alexandsl's
tomb, all by itself, only there are some
chambers near it filled with rolls and parch-
ments—in other words, a library of ancient
books."
A Trusty Guardian.
Moro than forty years ago, in eighteen
hundred aud fifty-one, I visited a party of
friends in the Bendigo goldfields fu Aus•
tralia, where I was cordially welcomed.
Among the valued possessions of my friends
wee an English mastiff which belonged to
one of the gentlemen.
Tho good understanding between myself
and the mastiff appoarad to have become so
well established during the evening, that
on the next day I left rho claim where my
friends were at work, to fetch a kettle of
tea from the tent, without the least mis•
giving as to my reception by trim.
"Rex," who was always allowed to run
loose, mine forward to meet nee. Ho al-
lowed mo to stroke his head, and, so far as
I could see, showed no interest in my move•
menta as 8 entered the tout and took a
drink of the tea. But when I started to
leave the tent, with the kettle in my hand,
imagine my astonishment when I sow the
supposed friend Rex facing me, and show•
ing his teeth in a very threatening way. I
put down the kettle, seated myself on the
edge of the oamp-bed, and spoke to him.
He wagged his tail aud looked so friendly
that I thought I mast have made a mistake
about his intentions. Not at all. The
moment I attempted to leave the tont with
the Iconic, I had reason to know that Rex's
broad grin was no more notion, but, on the
contrary, a real sign that he was true to his
trust as lie ttndorstood it.
I talked to hien again, sot down the
kettle, and attempted to leave without it.
8011 Ilex objected. He had his doubts,
and determined to give his masters the
benefit of them. There was no help for it;
I was held prisoner, and could do nothing
but sit down aud wait patiently for one of
the party to come to my relief. No one
came until nearly an hour Inter, by which
time my long absence had caused my
friends bo suspect that 1 was being held
prisoner by Rex. I bore the dog no grudge
for kis faithful zeal, and in a few cloys
found he world let me oonlo and go, and
take whatever I wished.—[0otober St,

N tji. ': V US DISEASES.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the Inman
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tien. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a,
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; tinct a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nervus recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is forfned. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous dee
rangement.
