TENDER in the Kite. and whom the world
read of as "lost in a creyasse,0 but whose
relatives and friends, the correspondent
says, believe him still alive. The story is
most interesting. Verhoeff was a direct
descendant of one of the officers Of 1.-THE

for anything. His father. a wealthy mer-

He early learned TO read for himself.
and delighted in books OF travel. telling
his Young schoomates that he meant to go

purpose in life and early began to d5ny
himself any taste or pleasure that would
conflict with it. He never ale but two
meals a day. and that of the plalnest and
most nutritious kind Of food. He would
never wear al overcoat in the very coolest
weather, sleeping at night under but one
cover. He devoted himself to a rigid
course of training in the gymnasium,
