ALMOST FORGOTTEN.
The Mysterious Relic of Prehistoric


People.
GA u" shores Of brittany there is 4
mysterious relic Of forgotten ages
which escapes the attention Of most
travellers. Far out in the Moriban sea
--arr"sS which legend tells US Arthur
sailed with his knights in pursuit of
the dragon-rises a little island. 1t
can be reached in boat from the
coast only in a calm sea. A Breton
shepherd; has solitary hut upon it
I'D f,,.!, i few sheep.
Crossing the grassy slope off which
they browse. the traveller finds himself
Al the foot of the Hill, in the face of
" l.cA la h",: cNcavatcd n great tun-
nci or cave. lnnrcd, walled and rooted
10y huge Hat rocks.
Some arch~oloTists say that this cav
crn Wa the work of the worshipers of
the serpent god of lloa-a race that has
passed into Oblivion.
The learned Traveller knows only that
the mysterious cavern antedates all
history: That the rocks of which it is
built cam" from the mainland, n dis
tancc OF more than one hundred miles
inland. No rocks like them make any
part OF the geological formation of the
island.
Even with our modern engineering
knowledge and machinery it would re-
quirc vast labor and skill to bring these
enormous, blocks of stone and place
them :" securely as to defy the wear
and friction of ages.
How were thcE brought here by men
who had, perhaps, few mechanical ap-
DEMONSTRATING but the strength of
their bodies and their faith in strange
goI?
The race who built the temple are
fnst. Even their names ages ago per-
lshed from the earth. Their religion
is vanished. These stones are the mon
umcnts of their indomitable resolution.
That deiies the flight OF years.

Risky business.

A Maine farmer who recently visited
Boston tells how he got the better of
the deadly trolley-car: Il STOOD" he
says, fright on the track when one of
them dummed skypole cars came a-buz-
zing along, and 1 thought I'd just see
if they'd run over me. They hollered
and yelled for me to get off the track,
but didn't bulge an inch, for had as
much right there as they had, and they
just hauled the thing up stock-still
afore they got ter me. All mans got
ter do is TO stand up for his rights, and
them Boston fellers dassn't run over
him.
