Eastern suns. but she looked pretty in
jaunty cap, and large checked ulster
covered her blue dress. Her teeth are
perfect, and of dazzling whiteness. In
manner she is cordial, frank and
sprightly. Of her trip she said:

How many days have you lost since
you left New YOrk?''
LOST FIFTEEN DAYS.
Only fifteen. l lost one day at
Verne, and a very ant day it was.
I was detained five Us at Colombo,

Yokohama four. | experienced moth

had delightful time. We went. in
Canton, sightseeing, and oh! there is so
much to see. We spent Christmas day
in Canton, and it was Christmas long
TO be remembered. We visited the great
temple of the dead and heard the weird
chanting and masses. We reached
Hong Kong on the 23d, and rode all
about the city in a sedan chair with
four coolies carrying it and a Chinese
guide. L was particularly struck with
the court house and jail. Just in
front of the jail a fan tan game
was running, and inside we saw an
opium smoking place, where Chinese
were l0unging and inhaling the drug.
The popularity of their jail IS that they
don't close the doors. That struck me
as funny. The doors were all wide
open, but the prisoners were in cells

III the visitors book. A great deal of
attention was shown me, and Consul
Seymour, of Canton. sent me many
beautiful presents, Chinese Work, silk
handkerchiefS, pieces Of finely carved
Ivory and other things.
'At Yokohama the first night l went
to all the theaters, and in the afternoon
I rode around the city. The second day
we went to Kamakura, and saw the idol
Diabutsa. 1t is sixty feet high. We
had our photographs taken: [ was
standing on the idols thumb at the
time. The third day we went to Toxic,
which is eighteen miles from YokO-
hama. The sightseeing there was su-
perb. We visited many beautiful tenn
pies, and were amazed at their number
and grandeur. At last the day for our
departure came, and we embarked.
Our trip across the Pacific was uneyent-

know anything about the girl or her
trip. She is starting to beat my time.
That is no affair of mine. l started to
do the trip in Seventy-five days, and
there is no fear, think, but that shall
do it. If wanted to beat time could
have done it in sixty-fve days. If L had
known that any one was trying to beat
me l could have made better connec-
tons, and so have done the trip IN
shorter time. l have relied solely on
the facilities afforded 10 ordinary tray-
