SINCE the Delaware river uas been min
cd, it is rather risky for excursions that 60
down the river. A ,olored excursion a
few weeks ngo visited Salem, N. j., and,
failing to arrive before o'clock on their
return trip wa, compelled to remain all
night on the river. The excursions will
fall to become popular untitthe mines
are taken up by the Government Excur-
sionists take big chances who patronizo
the down river bouts.

WA CRUCIS."
MARION CRLWFORDS NEW NOTEE
OF THE SECOND CRUSADE,
IN "THE CENTURY"

A LII Of Mr.. Crawford's rare gifts as .
n. story-teller are brought to bear in
the telling Of this Romance OF the SEQ
ond Crusade, and the reader will know
more about the inner life OF the Middle
Ages when he has finished this serial in
The Century Magazine than he would
learn from dozen histories. Fact and
fiction are blended with masterly skill,
and the art of the illustrator supple
ments that of the novelist.
The first expedition undertaken by
European Christians for the recovery Of
the Holy Land from the Mohammedans
was the result of the preaching Of Peter
the Hermit. 1t was successful, and re-
suited in the capture of Jerusalem.
The Second Crusade, preached by st.
Bernard, was unsuccessful. Mr.. Craw-
ford, in his story Of this expedition, has
made st. Bernard one of the characters,
and another is Queen Eleanor, who ac-
companied her husband, Louis VII, on
the disastrous expedition.
The hero Of the story is a young Eng
lish knight of spotless character, whose
fortunes are interviewer with those Of
the gay young queen. "Via Crucis 10
