Her mother having gone to her rest"
she decided to seek her father, Who, the
last she knew. was in slavery in Barba-
does. Assisting her was Mr.. John Rivers,
Of whom her journal states: II can ind
raught to say that seems fitting, for, al
though 1t mayhap that in this great world
there are other men Of a countenance as
fine, a mien as noble and a heart as brave
and tender. IL has not been my lot yet to
encounter him" These two were cap
tured by Indians, turned over to the
Spaniards and taken to the governor and
captain Of st. Augustine. where, because Of
a dispute made as an excuse by Don Pedro

The October Peerson's opens With oae OF
the most interesting OF its entertaining
series, The Story Of the States" The
position of New York City as a world
metropolis has seemed to entitle It to a
separate article, and Mr.. Gustav Kobbe pre-
sents a picture of modern New York, with
Its hustle OF commercial activity, it's i'm
mense financial interests, its sk~yscrapers
and other modern improvements, which,
against the background Of the leisurely
mode OF life and primitive customs of old
New Amsterdam, stands out wildly as an
exponent Of the strenuous life Of the pres
ent day. The article Is profusely illus
trated with photographs. THE Dudley
Dinagraph Car and Modern Fire Protec-
ton" are two descriptive articles OF more
than ordinary interest. Albert Bigelow
Paine contributes an interesting, IL not
altogether probable. detective story-"A
Knave Of Keys"-and Louis Mack a charm
ing little Australian station romance.
"Bill's Best Beloved is a quaint little
childish tragedy, In which the course OF
true love does not run smooth. True to
the King" a tale OF medieval France, to-
gether with an exceptionally dramatic in
stallment Of Rider Haggard's Pearl
Maiden" complete the list of fiction for
the month.
