"Langham was so sorry he couldn't
meet you. He won't be back till this
evening, so we--let me introduce Miss
Mildred Palgrave, who is staying with
us--thought we'd drive to fetch you in d.
stead. l am afraid we are a poor SUD
stitute for brother Lang, but you must
make the best Of it and take us on our
merits"
Looking at them 1 though myself
lucky, and thanked heaven that Lang
could not come, migrate was.
Miss Palgrave held out a well-gloved
hand, saying, ''I am so glad to meet you,
for Langham has told me so many stories
about you as boy that l quite feel l
know you already. But they tell me
that | must treat you with respect, for
you're a mighty Nimrod now, and a
slayer of wild beasts"
"Not many, I'm afraid. Mere trave-
lers' tales. Some of dear old Laugham' s
yarns" answered l, modestly, but |
was secretly gratified at her taking such
a friendly interest in me.

their seats, and we were soon at The
Moat, which was only five miles from
the station-a very short five miles, and
/ hated Banjo for making the journey
so brief, when l should have liked it to
have lasted forever. My companion
chatted on as if she had known me all
her life, and l fell desperately in love
with her and quite forgot my boyhood's
sweetheart, who only reminded me of
her presence as we drove up the avenue
by exclaiming: "This is where you

The MUSES..

The MUSES. were demi-gods, or, rather,
demi-goddesses, the patrons OF ltera'
ture, music, poetry, dancing ana the
fine arts generally. They dwelt upon
the three sacred mountains, Helikon,
Parnassus and Pindus, in Greece, aud
there were nine of them.
Clio was the muse of history. She is
generally represented carrying roll of
manuscript. Melpomene was the muse
of tragedy and is made to wear mask
and sometimes carry sword or club.
Thalia was the muse OF comedy and bur
lesque. She wore a mask aud carried
shepherds crook. Then came Calliope,
the muse of heroic poems, sometimes
called the chief of the MUSES.. She
carried a writing tablet and stylus.
Urania presided over the study Of as
tronomy. In the representations she
sits beside a globe, holds a compass
with one hand, while with the other
she points upward to the stars. Euterpe
presided over music. She was figured
as playing the flute. The muse of song
and oratory was Polyhymnia, or Polym-
mia, generally pictured in an attitude Of
contemplation and wearing a laurel
wreath. Love and marriage songs had
Erato for their inspiration. EPato wore
wreath and played on a large Tyre with
many strings. Terpsichore was the last
of the muses.. She presided over dane
ing, and is represented as wreath crowned
and carryinga Tyre. Mnemosyne, mean
ing "memory," was the "mother OF the
muses."
The muses. occupied prominent place
in the later mythology of Greece aud
Rome, and are the subject of very ire-
quent allusion in literature. New York

pendent information which throws some
light on the possible origin of American
races. He says: One of the recent grad
yates of Hanover College, W. T. Lopp,
for the past two years has been in charge
of the Mission School for the Eskimos,
at Port Clarence, Alaska, on the Amer
ican side Of Bering Strait. A letter
under date of August 31st, 1892, to my
self, says of last winter: "No thaws
during the winter. and ice blocked in
the Strait. This has always been doubted
by whalers. Eskimos have told them
that they sometimes crossed the strait on
ice, but they have never believed them.
Last February and March our Eskimos
had tobacco famine. Two parties Give
men) went with dog sleds to East Cape,
on the Siberian coast, and traded some
beaver, otter and marten skins for Rus
sian tobacco, and returned safely. 1t
is only during an occasional winter that
they can do this. But every summer
they make several trips in their big
wolves skin boats-forty feet long.
These observations may throw some light
upon the origin of the Prehistoric Races
Of America" Mr.. Lopp is in every way

MOORE'S MYSTERY.
A Sad Search for Missing
Brother.
A LETTER FOUND BY FRIENDS.

A. L. Moore. of Florence, Minn.. Here to
Try and Find Some Trace of His Brother,
Who Disappeared at Port Byron Several
Months Ago-Searching the COroner's
Records in Davenport-No Clue Yet.
1t will be rememb ered by the ARGUS
readers that last summer this paper
printed an extended account of the dis
appearance under very mysterious cir
cumstances of young man named B TT
E Moore, of Port Byron, who left there very
suddenly leaving all his clothing and also
money deposited in bank. His friends
there. after waiting several weeks and find
ing no trace of him. made diligent search
but could discover moth ng that would
throw any light whatever on his where's
a5outs. The young man had said nothing
about leaving the town, the first of his alb
ence being discovered the morning after
he left, when he did not open up the hard-
ware store where he was employed. 1t
was learned that dsy that he had pur~
that no trace whatever OF him could be
found-not even of his arrival there.
A L. Moore of Florence. Mimi,
brother of the missing young man, ar
rived In the city on Saturday, intending
to do what be could toward clearing up
the mystery surrounding young Moore's
absence. He went at once to Coroner
McCortney's office in Davenport, where
he examined the rings and other articles
that were on the body of the young man
found in Shaw's eddy. just above the
Rock Islsnd bridge last May. Mr..
Moore has two photographs of his miss
ing brother which Coroner Mccartney
saws bear a striking resemblanc e
to the features Of the dead
body found in the river. The shirt
tab on the body was marked h. N. h.
but this Mr.. Moore thinks may have
been exchangedl in q laundry. Sine e
the article was published in
this paper young Moore's friends
while going through his trunk came
across some letters. aud among them one
written to q sister IN Minnesota which
had never been mailed 1t spoke of the
probability OF his leaving Port Byron and
added that she should not be surprised If
he wac missing some day. This tends to
throw some light upon his disappearance
and his brother is now looking up every
detail connected with the case in hopes
Of finding some trace.
