A SLEEPLESS NIGHT.
Thhede was in a very merry mood
on Thursday night. After his spiritual
advisers had left him, he remained up
until 100 a M, chatting and joking
with the guards, and his laugh was as
hearty as though he had no care on

hour he tossed about uneasily on his
couch Then he quieted down and ap-

morning" Solicitations were exchang-
ed all around, and the prisoner asked
for a. cup Of coffee, meanwhile dressing
himself temporarily. After drinking
his coffee. he busted himself brushing
his clothes and getting ready for the
approaching ordeal, although he did not
ct once refer to it. He must have been
in jolly, even a boisterous mood, how
ever. for his hearty laugh was soon
heard echoing through the corridors.
This was due to some fun he was fav-
ing with a. kitten.

man who was going on a pleasant jour-
ney and was making preparations for 1t.

What Marco Polo Did.

He was the first traveller to trace q
route across the whole length Of Asia,
says one of his biographers, "describ-
ing kingdom after kingdom that he had
seen with his own eyes" He was the
first traveller to explore the deserts and
the Towering plains of Persia, to re-
veal China with its mighty rivers, its
swarming population, and its huge
cities and rich manufactures; the first
to visit and bring back accounts of
Tibet, Laos, Burmah. Siam, Cochin
China, Japan, the Indian Archipelago,
Ceylon, Farther India, and the Anda-
man Islands; the first to give any dis
tinct account of the secluded Christian
empire Of Abyssinia: the first to speak
even vaguely Of Zanzibar. Madagascar,
and other regions In the mysterious
South, and of S!beria and the Arctic
Ocean in the t9rrible and much dread
ed North. Although centuries have
passed since young Marco Polo grew to
mans estate while treading his dan
gerous way among these distant lands,
we must still look back to his discover
les for much that We know about those
countries; for we have learned nothing
new Of many Of them since his time

MExICOS RACE OF PIGM,Es.

Known Only by Tradition, Their Lo-
cality Is a Mystcry.
Somewhere hidden in the heart of
that land of marvels. Mexico, there is
without doubt nation of pigmies.
Few they are, but fierce; short Of
stature. but long of life. Science. which
In this latter day goes out into high
ways and hedges and compels all sorts
of curiOsities to come in, has not been
able yet to put its positive finger on
these people. But the Aztec traditions,
old before the beginning of history,
have said that they existed.
There is echo Of the story In the early
histories of that land full Of wonders.
Prescott only told Of n small part of
the strange things to be found in Mexi-
90.
1t was in the belief that we had the
clew to almost the precise location Of
these tiny folk that started to jour
ney into the wilds of Mexico. So defin-
ite was the information upon which the
expedition was based that thought we
might 60 directly to the home Of the
dwarfs.
l knew there were mountains to
climb and rivers to cross, hundreds of
hard miles to travel. untold hardships
to face, but to find the pigmy Aztecs
was a great enough accomplishment to
tempt any scientific man to make all
physical discomforts seem trivial.
l went. l invaded the remotest and
most uncivilized districts Of the great
country to the south. OF the men and
customs have seen many, and studied
them from the United States border to
the Isthmus. have seen strange peo-
pies and gathered relics of a bygone CIV
ilization, but the race Of pigmies we
could not find.
1 do not say that they do not exist,
but merely that I did not find them.
They may still be hidden somewhere
among those mountains. where some
day some lucky man will find them and
bring them to light.
At any rate, have come back to the
haunts of everyday, modern people
and the duties Of every day life, wiser
and happier than when started on my
mission. The story Of those wander
ings In Mexico will be a wonder story
to tell by and by and a rich memory
for old age.-F'rederick Starr In San
