rsiudlees Of Warsaw.

Warsaw is said to be the gateway
for the introduction OF foreign manu-
factures into Russia. Conditions here
are favorable to the introduction Of
foreign goods, not only on account Of
the location geographically, with all
the attendant facilities for shipment,
but more particularly because Of
deep prejudice against German manu-
factures which exist to the extent OF
almost boycott Of all German ar
ticles. The French, British and Aus
trian manufacturers have been able to
take advantage Of this, and their
salesmen cover this territory fre
Quently and with success.

foot Of the hill. There were no longer
banners of dust where the wild game
swept by. nor did the eye catch any
line Of distant horsemen. 1t was an
other day. Yet. as did the candidate
of old. he left his horse at the foot
of the hill and went up quite alone.
1t was afternoon as he sat down.
The silence and solitude folded him
about. and the sun sank SO fifty slow
that he hardly knew, and the solemn
night swept softly on. Then he built
4 little fire In the night, after
many hours, he arose and lifted up

tossed his head, and looked up in

There might have passed before him
a perspective OF the past, the Plains
neoped with their former life; the
sncoming of the white men from be-
low; the remnant Of the passing Latin
race, typified in the unguided giant
who, savage with savage. fought near
by, one brutal force meeting another
nnd both passing before one higher

Franklin had taken with him
small canteen of water, but be-

brow, great mouth. and lock of life's
price hanging down the neck. All the
fearlessness, the mournfulness, the
mysticism OF the Indian face was
there. Franklin always said that he
had worked at this unconsciously,
kneading the lump between his fin.
gers, and giving 1t no thought other
than that 1t felt cooling to his hand
and restful to his mind. Yet here,
born ultimately of the travail of a
higher mind, was man from another
time. in whose gaze sat the prescience
Of a coming day. The past and the
future thus were bridged, as may be
done only by Art, the enduring, the
uncalendared, the imperishable.
Edward Franklin, light-hearted
man, rode homeward happily. The

there were no longer any wonderings.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Al the Gateway.

AZ tne GateW4y.
In a certain old Southern city there
stands, as there has stood for many
generations. and will no doubt endure
for many more lofty mansion whose
architecture dates back to a distant
day. Wide and spacious, with lofty
stories. with deep wings and many
narrow windows, it rests far back
among the ancient oaks, stately
memorial of day when gentlemen
demanded privacy and could afford
it. From the iron pillars of the great
gateway the white front of the house
may barely be seen through avenues
made by the trunks of the primeval
grove. The tall white columns, reach
ing from gallery floor to roof without
pause for the second lofty floor, give
dignity to this old-time abode. which
comports we'll with the untrimmed
patriarchal oaks. Under these trees
there lies, even to-day, a deep blue
grass turf which never, from the time
of Boone till now. has known the
touch of ploughshare or the tool of
any cultivation.
1t was the boast of this old family
that it could afford to own a portion
of the earth and own it as it came
from the hand of Nature. Uncaught
by the whirl of things. undisturbed
ESSENTIALLY even by the tide of the
civil war. this branch of an old South

From Early Infancy They are Train
ed to Develop Their Muscles.
Considering their size the Japanese
are undoubtedly the strongest people
in the world. Time and again these
little brown men have demonstrated
their ability to endure fatigues that
would break down the most sinewy
Europeans. In any Japanese town
one cannot walk far without being
confronted by athletics in one form or
another. In the streets you can rare
ly escape the painted and gaudily
dressed tots who turn baby hand
springs, execute somersaults and do
other infantile stunts in a wheedling
effort to secure the hairy foreigners"
wealth. A Japanese matsuri were not
the fair it purports without the be-
spangled tight-rope performance. the

the wrestlers, tumblers, spearsmen or
fencers.
So deeply rooted Is the native love
for the strenuous life that the ma
tional sports of other lands have been
tried in Japan. The mikado, with
many Of the imperial family, attends
the annual spring races in Yokohama,
but nothing in the line OF imported
sports so appeals to the japanese as
cycling and baseball. Cycling clubs
are scattered all over the empire.
thousands of American bicycles spin
across the island and the foreigners
experience difficulty in keeping even a
few Of the records and trophies out
Of native hands.
The Toxic baseball team is an eff
cient organization and it frequently
drubs the teams from other ports and
cities. At the Yokohama cricket
grounds excellent and sharply con-
tested games may be witnessed occa-
sionally between the Toxic native
team and the Yokohama foreign or.
ganization.

Less Profanity Than Formerly.

The habit of swearing is not as COM
mon as 1t used to be in this country.
Gentlemen no longer use the language
with the unvarnished freedom OF the
days Of Sheridan, when gentleman
was accustomed to consign himself;
collectively and III sections. to the low
est depths OF perdition in the presence
Of ladies while paying tribute to their
charms. Undoubtedly many youths
who were brought up to swear do
swear now and then under rrovoca-
ton, but there is, all things consid-
cred, an increasing respect for 3s
English language.

Raises Plpmcots.

The plumcot is a hybrid of the plum
mia ranch Of Luther Burbank. who has
raised stoneless plums and prunes,
white blackberries, daisies four inches
across, and amaryllis blossoms ten
inches in diameter. The plumcot has
the general appearance of the apricot
and the same outside appearance, but
is more highly colored than either a
plum or an apricot. 1t has soft skin
and an indescribably delicious flavor.

whose smoke dipped and waved and
caught him in its fold. In brief, he
got into saddle and journeyed to the
Hill Of Dreams.
The Hill Of Dreams dominated the
wide and level landscape over which
1t had looked out through hundreds
OF slow, unnoted years. From it once
rose the signal smokes of the red men,
and here it was that many a sentinel
had stood in times long before white
face was ever seen upon the Plains.
Here on the Hill of Dreams, whence
the eye might sweep to the fringed
sand hills on the south. east to the
river many miles away, and north and
west almost to the swell of the cold
steppes that lead up to the Rocky

less, troubled, disturbed. dissatisfied,
came thither to fast and pray.
Hither they bore the great dead. 1t
was upon the Hill Of Dreams that his
people buried White Calf. the last
great leader OF the Plains tribes, who
'kell in the combat with the not less
yavage giant who came with the white
hen to hunt in the country near the
Hill of Dreams. Since that time the
power Of the Plains tribes had waned.
and they had scattered and passed
away. The swarming white men
Visigoths, Vandals-had found out
this spot for centuries held mysteri-
ously dear to the first peoples Of that
country. They tore open the graves,
scattered the childlike emblems, pick
ed to pieces the little packages of
furs and claws, jibing at the ''medi-
cine" which in its time had meant so
much to the man who had left it
there.
Toward the Hill OF Dreams Frank
lin journeyed, because it had been
written. AS he travelled over the long
miles he scarcely noted the fields, the
fences. the fiocks and herds now cling
ing along the path Of the iron rails.
He crossed the trails of the departed
buffalo and of the vanishing cattle
but his mind looked only forward, and
he saw these records of the past but
