illustrates the principle of adver-

"rhe money expended for

are virtually the interest ON

The boat, now lacking its propelling
power, drifted on and out into the
clear tide of the mighty stream The
paddlers were idle, and silence had
fallen upon all. The rush of this ma
jestic flood, steady, mysterious, Sc
cret-keeping, created a feeling of awe
and wonder. They gazed and gazed
again, up the great waterway, across
to its farther shore, along it's rolling
course below, and still each man for
got his paddle, and still the little ship

gently in the mimic waves which ruff

forgotten. A literary man sometimes
lodges in an editorial writer's chair,
as George Cary Eggleston and David
Graham Phillips did for years upon the

small use for him. Neither the news

unknown in magazinedom until he def

His articles afterwards appeared in pa
pers, but only as London correspondent
or in letters from the Transvaal, and
these break presidents.
Winter is now the dean Of the dra-
matt critics. He is small, shrunken,
bowed figure, gray of hair and beard,
whose face is lighted up by a wonderful
rair Of eyes. OF the other critics best
known to the city most are under 40
years Of age.

orKeu III the great houses, or VINO
have relatives in them, turn up their
noses, naturally enough, at the smaller
employ of the general servant" The
two-or-three-servan households are
not equally attractive. The number is
not enough to insure complete authori-
ty below stairs and the girls quarrel
But even that is better than the deadly
monotony of loneliness.
Of course the wages paid in the great
houses are better than ordinary house
wives wish to pay, though they are
getting educated up to the necessity.
The great rush of newly rich to New
York, the number of 'show houses"
that have been erected, intensifies the
demand, so that few smaller places can
have such problem for the house,
keeper of moderate means.
Not the high wages alone make trou-
BILE for the economical housewife of one
servant. The more easy-going of the
very rich are introducing the English
tip" system with more than English
lavishness. Christmas season at such
house as the Mackays at Harbor Hill,
Roslyn, means gold for every servant.
and guests are beginning to find in this
country as in England that to pay the
expected tips" at a country house
costs more than to put up at hotel.
What wonder that when such en-
gagements as this are offering, with
good wages, with the chance Of as
much more in presents and with plenty
of company under one roof, plain jobs
do not look so good as ten years ago
they did?

get servants of any sort, even incompe-
tent. Meanwhile in such city house

stance, SO perfectly trained ones are
employed. There are enough hands to
make light work. and there is in such
small village of serving people under
one roof enough individual variety to
ensure friendships for all. There is,
moreover. the conviction that the
skilled oversight of the upper servants
constitutes real training in domestic
matters Such places are eagerly sought
and those young girls who have ever

journalism was more closely akin to
literature in the days of the smaller
New York when Goodwin was writing
The Harbinger. the New York organ of
the Brook Farm experimenters. Dana,
who was to become as the editor of the
Sun an uncompromising conservative,
was a Brook Farmer. George Ripley,
the head of the Brook Farm commune
ty, came to New York and was for
years the Tribune's literary editor,
pouring out his ripe learning and his
enthusiasts for $50 week, pay which
now the "cub reporter" would scorn.
Margaret Fuller was passing through
her brief romance with a young Jew
trader in New York. Horace Greeley
could edit the Tribune and be the chief
friend of all the newer and stranger
lights of letters. Bryant was poet and
editor in one-though the editor swal-
lowed up the poet, who never surpassed
the youthful burst of song at IS years,
'Tohnatopsis."
There are two men in New York who
recall those fruitful days of literary
history, John Bigelow and William
Winter. Bigelow is more of diplo-
matist than a litterateur. He was
United States minister to Germany,

Poultney .Bigelow, went to school with
the present Emperor William, a fact
the younger Bigelow's steady readers
are not allowed to forget.

and sweeping swards OF green, as
though some noble house of old En-
gland were set back secluded within
these wide and well-kept grounds.
The country now rapidly lost its
marshy character, and as they ap-
preached the mouth of the great
stream, it being now well toward the
middle of the summer, they reached,
suddenly and without forewarning,
that which they long had sought.
The sturdy paddlers were bending to
their tasks, each broad back swinging
in unison forward and back over the
thwart, each brown throat barred to
the air, each swart head uncovered to
the glare of the midday sun, each mar
row-bladed paddle keeping unison with
those before and behind, the hand Of
the paddler never reaching higher than
his chin, since each had learned the
labor-saving fashion of the Indian ca
noeman. The day was bright and
CHEEKY, the air not too ardent, and
across the coppery waters there
stretched slants of shadow from the
empowering forest trees. They were
alone, these travellers; yet for the
time at least part of them seemed
care-free and quite abandoned to the
sheer zest of life. There arose again,
after the fashion of the voyageurs the
measure of the padding song, with
out which indeed the paddler had not
been able to perform his labor at the
thwart.
Dams mon chemin j'ai rencontre-"
chanted the leader; and voices behind
him responded Justify with the next
line:
"Trois cavaliers bien montes-"
"Trois cavaliers bien monies"
chanted the leader again.
"L'un cheval ct l'autre a pied
came the response; and then the
chorus:
lion, Ion laridon dame
Lon, Ion laridon dali"
The great boat began to move all cad
steadily and more swiftly, and bend
after bend of the river was rounded by
the rushing Prov None knew this
country, nor visit how far the journey
might carry him. None knew as of
certainty that he would ever in this
way reach the great Messasebe; or
even if he thought that such would be
the case, did any one know how far
that Messasebe still might be. Yet
there came time in the afternoon Of
that day, even as the chant of the
voyageurs still echoed on the wooded
bluffs, and even as the great birch-b bark
ship still responded swiftly to their
gaiety, when, on sudden turn in the
arm of the river, there appeared wide
before them scene for which they
had not been prepared. There, rip
ping and rolling under the breeze, as
though itself the arm of some great
sea, they saw majestic flood, whose
real nature and whose name each man
there knew on the instant and in
stinctively.
''Messasebe! Messasebe!" broke out
the voices of the paddlers.
''Stop the paddles!" cried Du Mesne,
"voila!"
John Law rose in the bow of the
boat and uncovered his head. 1t was
a noble prospect which lay before him.
His was the soul Of the adventurer,

Du Mesne shut his lips tight to-
gether. This was no house built by
the hands of white men. There were
here 10 quarters, no shops. no chapel
with it's little bell. Instead there stood
few dried and twisted poles, and all
around lay the litter of an abandoned
camp.
''Iroquois, by the living Mother Of
God!" cried Pierre Noir.
"Eook!" cried Tete Girls, calling them
again outside the Enclosure. He stood
kicking in the ashes of what had been
a fireplace. He disclosed, half buried
in the charred embers, an iron kettle
into which he gazed curiousiy. He
turned away as John Law stepped up
beside him.
There must have been game here
in plenty" said Law. There are
bones scattered all about"
Du Mesne and Tete Girls looked at
each other in silence, and the former
at length replied:
sieur Las" said he. "They lived here
for more than month, and as you
say, they fed well. But these bones
you see are not the bones of elk or
deer. They are the bones of men, and
women, and children"
Law stood taking in each detail of
the scene about him.
"Now you have seen what is before
us" resumed Du Mesne. "The Iroquois
have gone, tits true. They have wiped
out the villages which were here.
There are little cornfields, but war
rant you they have not seen a toma-
hawk hoe for month or more. The
Iroquois have gone, yet the fact that
they have been here proves they may
come again. What say you, Tete Girls;
and what is your belief, Pierre?"
Tete Girls remained silent for some
moments. "'Tis as monsieur says

determination. my friends" said he,

country and take it's conditions as we
find them. If we falter, we lose; of
that we may rest assured Let us not
turn back because few savages have
been here and have slaughtered few
other savages. For me, there seems
but one opinion possible. The light
ming has struck, yet it may not strike
again at the same tree. The Iroquois
have been here, but they have depart

vite their return. Now, it is necessary
that we make pause and build some

"Then we will fight" said John Law.
"And right you are," replied Du
