at least one son of man.
After studying the mystic pages for
some time he, having absorbed his in

ne began to collect his various papers,
which he also placed in the bag. It
looked to me as though he was making

Most Of the gigantic animals Of geo

whether the modern examples are
merely survivals of smaller contemDO-

AT that moment the train glided into

that he had annoyed me, for as we
rJOgged away together in the cab he
explained, with sPme attempt at plaus-

AS soon as he had gone my father, as
though instinctively aware of the

glance over the top Of his paper, and |
saw that his usually pale face was If

Well. as far as the country was con-

had not troubled it much of late years.
Presently a train thundered into the
station, and l went to the door to
watch the people coming and going.
When l returned, my father evinced
some curiosity as to the passengers
who had departed, and even went so
far as going to the door and looking
out. The scrutiny evidently satisfied
him, for he came back with a smile and
told me to bring my things out on the
