you passed it. It is a very pretty cottage

"Yes; I -noticed it," he said.
"But all the: place is pretty'," said De-
eima. "And isn't titre lovely?"
She paused and looked .round her and
at the great house, a glimpse of which
they could ;still see between the straight
fir trunks.
"Yes," be said. "May I go down as far
as the river with you? I should like to

"If you like," she said, walkiag• on
again. "Isn't it a pity that the plate is

Gaunt put up his hand to hie moustache
to bide the grim mile, It was evident
that Lady Pauline had not told the girl
his name.
"That sounds BIM a kind of gocialism,

NEW TRIBE OF PYGMIES.
'
•
Little Men Average Only Four, Feet
Eightlitelies in Height.
Captain Cecil G. Reevling, ..the
explorer, has recently *given Eng-
lish 'scientisti. some intereetahg ac-
counts of to new tribe of 'pygeniet,
found by his expediltion in South-
west Dutch New Guieea,
These little people, known as the
Tapiros, average 4 feet 8% inches,
in height. They were found living
OU the low-lying hills of theeKapare
River. On the- approach of ;the
whitemen they ran away, but the
expedition succeeded in capturing
three whose curiosity brought them
near' camp. At, first' they were
greatly frightened, but kindness
won them ever, and a few months
later the explorers were enabled to
-establish trading relations with the
tribe and were allowed to visit and
stay in their village of Wombirmi.
This village is hidden 'away in the
forest high up the mountain side
and was only found after many
fruitless attempts. While no opeu
hostility was 'shown, to the whites,
they were not exactly received with
open arms. Of the NOM= and chil-
dren they sew nothing, but their
shrill cries could, be heard as they
fled up the mountain side on the
approach of a stranger. "
Deecribing the men, , Captain
Rawlings &ELM taken, lia a. whole,
that they are well made and'wiry,
while their celor is ..J dark choco-
late. The hair, usually black, but
somethnes with a tench of brown or
even red, is worn short. Many
geoW beards, the older men dyeing
theirs red. Like all native tribes
they weer necklets of animal hones
and other small possessiens. Their
only clothing e,onsists of a covering
around the loins.
"Their houses and surround-
ings," says Captain Rewling, "are
considerably in advance of those of
their large -framed bretheen of the
plains. To the list cif Negritos,
which with the Negrillos4 are the
known tribes of pygrniee inhabiting
the earth, Must now be added the
newly diseovered trihe Ta,piros
who, -so 1133 6.1 their stature -is con.
cerned, take rank next above the
Congoopygmies."
