blings of his mind startled him. HIS
plans were methodically laid fer his
departure the following day. bat mac
ton was uneHGu-ab 1t Was very u:!-
like John OlmsteaGs nephew, but i. only
made matters so much the wors. thar
he fully realized the fact. In 4 strug-
gle to escape he started that nia ht for
California.
By degrees the strange week sank
into something like the memory of
an ugly dream. Often he seemed to
himself to be still dreaming. AS the
train rrlmbled on he sometimes tried to
rouse himself, with vague sense that
if he succeeded he should discover that
1t was only dream. Yet as often as
he made the attempt he shuddered lest
he might succeed; for in it there was
something more real than reality as he
knew it, and even at that moment he
would not have had it all dream.
The man on one side of the two-line
advertisement and the man on the
other side were two painfully distinct
and different creatures. The change
was not agreeable. 1t resulted in no
end of misery, ana nothing else; yet in
the midst of the misery there was some
thing so agreeable and beautiful that
nothing in the old life could compare
with it.
If the turning of his hand would have
taken him back again to the time before
that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, he would
not have turned his hand.
If he could only have understood him
self it would have been very different.
But he did not understand. However
much or little Robert Stanton knew,
he certainly did not know that the new
sentiment possessing him was love.

ODDS AND ENDS OF EARTH.
There Are Many Regions of the Globe
Yet Unknown to Civil
ized Men.

Young men with a taste for travel,
adventure and discovery have been. late
~ in the state of mind INDUCED in by
Alexander, who sat down and wept be-
cause there were no more worlds to con-
quer. For the comfort and edification
of such Henry NJ. Stanley, the distin-
guished ex-traveler publishes an arti-
Gle ON the odds and ends of earth, which
are still left open, or rather closed, for
exploration, and which, with industry
and economy, could be made to yield
something to the traveller.
Mr.. Stanley begins with the continent
of Africa, which still offers certain par
cells of ground, one Of them 700 miles
long and so miles wide, which have
never been thoroughly explored or, in
deed, explored at all. Besides the work
of original exploration there is in Afri.
ca an immense amount of supple.
mentary exploration to be done. There
are mountains $4,000 feet high to be
climbed and written up in detail. These
be found in any goodrcentraI African
lexicon. The great African lakes, all
discovered since 1850, are konwn only,
as it were, in outline. Their depth or
their altitude above the sea level is un.
known as yet. The Nile has few more
sources yet to be discovered and so has
the Congo. There are believed to be
active volcanoes in Africa which have
never yet been studied by white men.
There are scattered around in the for
ests and mountains of Africa whole
tribes who have never seen a white
face. These are all to be locked up.
Besides Africa, the continent of South
America offers great tracts of almost
unknown country. An American
steamer occasionally ascends the ANA
zon, but the vast forest on the head wa
tiers of that stream-its tributaries
themselves great rivers-is still mys-
terry. The great chain of the Andes has
been crossed in many places, but has
not been traversed lengthwise. A great
part of the Andean Cordillera is COM
pletely unknown, says Mr.. Stanley,
Doth as to its topography and geology.
The Cape and Cairo railroad has been
spoken of as depending on circum-
stances, but one great explorers rail
road is open for business already. 1t is
the great trans-Siberian all through
route from one side Of Asia to the other.
South of this road lies one-ffth of the
continent of Asia, stretching away to
the Himalayas, which is good and fruit
full ground for the explorer.
Thus Africa, South America and Asia
are yet to be explored in large sections.
The arctic regions still present their
hidden attractions and the traveller
may still seek them, cheered on by the
hope of freezing and starvation.-Kan-
sas City Globe.

The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one.thiM of century this Company
has been in business. Beginning in a small
way they supplied their neighbors in the
pear-by towns, each year widening their
field. They are now selling merchandise di.
rect to the consumer at wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
logue. As the business expanded they
were obliged to- increase the size of this
catalogue. until to-day it exceeds 1000 illus.
trated pages, quoting the lowest wholesale
prices on everything to Eat, Wear and Use.
BY a superior process of color photography
they illustrate many of their goods in natural
colors, bringing out the rich color value OF
curtains, carpets, draperies, and the latest
designs in wall papers, etc., thus enabling
the customer hundreds of miles distant TO
select goods at his own freside, knowing by
the description. illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.

other, restraining him from ignomin-
ious retreat and surrender to-nothing.
Had he desired, he could easily have
learned as much as he wished of Esther
Thorndike. Indeed, it was difficult to
hold gratuitous information away; but
with keen native sense of honor,
greatly overstrained and intensified as
it was by the strange circumstances,
he felt that it would be the height of
disloyalty for him to permit himself to
know anything beyond what Esther
Thorndike had herself communicated.
The day of her departure found him
as ignorant as ever, and only so many
days deeper in the new sentiments and
their attendant morbid desperation.
Shortly after the hour for the sailing
of the days steamers messenger boy
brought him card bearing the words

the effect of that immaterial message
coming into the troubled heart of Rob-
ert Stanton. But he who has watched
longer, till black clouds filed the
break, and with sigh, groan, nature
sank back again into the stormy night
more desolate even for the glorious
whelming force of the realization which
followed, that the moon which shcne
with such refreshment for a moment
was even then hidden by the black
waves of the Atlantic, and that every
fleeing sound was bearing her farther
and farther away, to set beyond the
clouds, beyond the possibility of even
one more passing glimpse.
The memory of one week before
came back to haunt him as night gath
cred. Involuntarily he was living it all
over again. Step by step he seemed
forced to follow it, and every step was
bereft of all but bitterness-bitternes
and utter loneliness.
Even the discovery that it had been
such strength and comfort to him to
know that she was as near as Brooklyn
, filed him with dismay. The wild, I'M
