and Burmah. In the latter country King
Thebaw was engaged in killing all his
relations in the palace. Mandalay, made
famous by kiplng, was visited. After
wards in South Africa Mr. Jackson met
the distinguished poet and made his ac-
uuaintance. He thinks these words from
kiplng are the finest he ever wrote:
Come you back to Mandalay,
Where the old flotlla lay;
Can't you ear their paddles chunkin' from
Rangoon to Mandalay?

During the past 30 years Mr.. Jackson
has been around the world eight times.
Many are the tales he tells of his cx-
pericnces in foreign lands. He was in
Constantnople, and while passing along
a street one night he heard the following

He investigated and found a Vermont
Yankee who was objecting to Il fare de

fellow wanted % piastcrs. Finally, the
matter was compromised by the paymeu;

with the rapidity of lightning Mr. Jack
son describes st. Sophia's mosque in Con
stantinoplc which is a magnificent tenn

pillars are of machite and were brought
from Russia ages ago. lie also describes
the monument and tomb of Tag Mahai
in Agra India, which took 2O0GDO skilled
lahorcrs 70 years to build and which cost
erected in memory of the wife of Tag

The Alhambra Grenada, Spain, the
handiwork Of the Moors before they were
driven out IN 1892, Is regarded by Mr.
jackson as one of the finest buildings he
ever saw. Tangicrs, in Morocco. was
visited and there the tireless traveller
dressed himself in Arab costume for the
purpose Of touring the country. He
would not dare to so through Morocco

CHAPTER IL-(Contiuusd.)


Naturally, Charlie Stuart was justi-
fed in believing the girl to be the child
of some Flemish citizen. True. she
was not dressed in the usual Dutch
fashion. but her golden tresses and
blue eyes, that shone like twin stars.
made him take the fact for granted.
He was. therefore. considerably sur
prised when. springing to her feet, she
advanced a step or two toward them,
holding out her hands. look OF great
10y Illuminating her face. and in a
voice which the echoes OF her recent
sobs still haunted, addressed them In
purest English:
"Oh. sirs, Heaven has heard my
prayer and sent you to my rescue!"
Stuart made up his mind then and
there. strange as such proceeding
might be. that there was deeper mys-
terry about the presence OF this young
girl In these terrifying surroundings
than had Mt first occurred to him.
Many things united to make him be-
iieve this--the fact OF her not being
missed by her party, her manner in
avoiding any reference to the friends
who should be so anxious-yes, then
and there he became convinced that
story lay back OF 1t as startling as any
product of an opium smokers dream.
Charlie knew It would be well for him
to divert the girls mind as much as
possible from the horrors she had so
recently been forced to face. Thus as
they walked along, he even grew
somewhat merry. and his object was
accomplished, since the girls temper
ary trembling At had passed away and
she was now calm enough to ask ques-
tlons regarding their opportune pres
ence in the dismal place.
Several times Charlie knew she was
looking at him intently.
He believed that he could guess the
reason-that she had story to tell, a
story far out Of the ordinary run. and
was studying him when she thought
herself unobserved. studying him to
determine whether she dared entrust
him with Its astonishing details.
