Then in the days that followed the

The summer waned and there came
a day when the old man went not
away to work. He fingered about the
hut or climbed the knoll along the
winding beach; then silently retraced
his steps and sat within the hut. while
the wife and little one hung about the
knoll. and often she, too. would pause
and look along the stretch Of sand.

FUTURE USES OF OLD AeE.
When Elderly People viii Do Most

Our old men are going to be our

US that in the case Of some Of the

evolved by modification of one or
both of the others. With man, no
neutral sex has appeared, but both
sexes cease the work of reproduction

Is the most favorable period for work,
and, when science has eliminated the
inArmities Of age, as Prof Meichni.

will be able, to do, the aged will be
our most vigorous and efficient toilers.

ROBERT CRALE. HERELI


There stood a rude and dingy nut
leaning against the caves Of a knoll,
and built of sticks and boards thrown
up By the tide. farIng light burned
within, and cleaned through the Grew
ices and the Jagged hole that served
the purpose Of a window. A man dis
heveled, gray and decrepit came out
and carefully drew to the rickety door
after him. tie y.asad awhile N con-
temptation of the night, and listened
10 the mournfuI breathing Of the surf.
Then he climbed to the topmost point
Of the knoll and gazed long over the
stretch of water to the distant harbor
where shone the myriad lights Of the
city, and in musing, said:
"Yere there, somewhere know
yer must be-drinbih' and revslin' and
spendin' yer bit Of money in fools
paradise; while the neglected wife and
wee one seek asylum Of yer decrepit
father"
Then he clenched his bony hands
and muttered. while the night breeze
played about his tattered raiment. He
looked away along the ribbon Of wind
ing white beach and deserted an atom
moving at the waters edge, growing
larger as it advanced; and he watched
it until taking the shape of a man, it
bore around the foot of the knoll and
disappeared beneath the overhanging
crags. The watcher descended by the
path he had come; passing the hut, he
waited in the shadow until the man
again appeared, then stepped out and
blocked his way.
What do you want here?" His
tone was harsh and stern.
The other hesitated.
What have We done with the wife
and wee one?" he continued, harsh
and stern as before.
"She left my bed and board and took
the youngster with her"
Because you neglected and i'll
treated her, and because you viii not

her trouble, not knowing otherwhere.

roughly aside. You cannot harbor &

to pass.

Mongolia.

Although Mongolia, in which Russia
is now intrenched, has been a part Of
the Chinese empire for the greater
part of the last two centuries, China
has not exercised much authority over
it, and the Mongol has been largely at
liberty to follow his own desires in
method of government and conduct.
The only tribute which has heretofore
been required from the country has
been a certain number of men to
serve in the Chinese army.

Then rose the Croveller to his feet
and turned to go.
"Stop!" The elder mans tone grew
calmer. Here, ye may see them. but

and led the way into the hut and soft

Peruna occupies unique position in
