now the whole place seemed to be de-
/ serted. Big SAILS cabin, was the first
! they came to. The door was open and
they entered. For a moment the inter-
Tor was so dark that they saw nothing,
but presently they could see Big Sal
sitting on the floor carding out her gray
hair. Usually she wore it in wraps
but they were now UNFINISHED and, as
! she carded them out, they stood al
| right angles to her head, and gave her
1 a very wild and ferocious appearance
| She neither turned nor paused in the
! carding when the children stepped
somewhat timidly into the door. People
said she was sullen; but she was very
sensitive and tender hearted, and al
ways furnishing for some one to love
| The negroes thought she was both
cruel and suspicious, and Buster John
and Sweetest Susan were somewhat
doubtful about her. For a woman of
so years. who had known hard work
and trouble with it, she was well pre-
served.
Aunt Big Sal" said Sweetest Susan
where is everybody"
Gone, honey, de Lord knows whar;
gone, honey, de Lord knows how"
She turned as she spoke, and her
hair bristling out, gave her countenance
such a wild aspect that the children
invountarily shrank back. They had
never seen her with her hair down be-
fore.
She raised her hands. BE afeared er

of engaging blue eyes You met him
with a golfing cap pulled down com

energy that bespoke his active mind,

a stranger was usually long in dis
covering the greatest passion of Profess
sor Marsh's life, for he possessed a wide

simple, unscientific language of the lay
man; he would not puzzle one with
technical descriptions, for his own con-
ceptionS of prehistoric life We're dressed

imagination. and he was able to make
one see what he saw. This quality of
simplicity, so unusual among scientists,
was also a marked attribute of his
technical publications, the mere cata-
logue of which fills book of fifty
pages.
Professor Marsh never allowed him
