DISSATISFIED with the Times.

They were talking about the feel
ing of unrest and dissatisfaction that
pervades certain sections of the coun-
try up at the Yale commencement.
Frank F. Dole, who is famed as the
owner of the Edgewood Kennel of
bull terrier dogs, listened attentively
and suddenly broke up the whole con-
ference with his remark:
Ernest Seton-Thompson, or Thomp-
son-Seton or whatever his name hap
pens to be this month, was up look
ing over my kennels the other day.
You know he is strong on this new
fad of nature study, and he was re-
marking on this same spirit of unrest
in the animal kingdom. Says dogs are
just as dissatisfied as men-and
skunks. Claimed he could understand
their complaints and while chatting
carelessly flung bit of dog biscuit at
Edgewood Monarch. The dog snap
ped it up, spat it out. and then
growled.
"'Therei' exclaimed Seton-Thomp-
son, or whoever he may be, what did
I tell you? That dog said plainly,
" 'Tain't half so good biscuit as my
mother used to give me-" New

mentS as a bow and arrow.
The next scene shows Hiawatha to
have come to manhood. He has re-
turned from his initial journey and
he has seen the dark-eyed maiden OF
the West. A second journey has been
made across the Big-Seawater to the
tent of the arrowmaker. The Indian
lover is represented at the door OF
the Dakota tepee where sat the an
cient maker of arrows. Minnehaha
had been thinking stof a hunter from
another tribe and country, young and
tall and very handsome Would
he come again for arrows? He sud
denly appears from the woodlands.
and the maiden, with true Indian hos
pitality, brought forth food and set
before them.
Hiawatha lends a deaf ear to the
teachings of old Nokomis, who adj
vises the wedding of a maiden of his
tribe. He wooes Minnehaha, which
character was played with a native
charm and modesty which fulfilled
the exacting demands of the part.
One of the most interesting and
spectacular of the scenes is naturally
that depicting the wedding. In this
scene there are numerous dances; the
deer dance, which foretells life of
peace for the welded pair; the snake
dance, which is to appease the evil
spirits, which is performed by Paw
Puk-Keewis; the gambling dance, in
which the latter is also the chief fig
ure.
Following is a missionary scene As
the dances are being concluded,
birch-bark canoe appears from be-
hind one of the islands, whereupon
a score of Indians hurry to the shore
to give the white missionary welcome.
Hiawatha listens to the white mans
speech, his vision having come true,
and the departure of the hero is the
fitting climax to the drama.
With long strides Hiawatha passes
down the sloping bank to the waters
edge, where floats his wonderful
canoe@for ''alI the forests life was in
it." He stands erect in the graceful
craft, with paddle uplifted in one
hand and the other bidding farewell
to the warriors, the canoe sails away
swiftly, mysteriously, without the aid
of car or paddle.
His comrades on the shore break
the dramatic stiffness with their
weird chants, fainter grows the song,
ard in reality the golden sunset is
being usurped by the dusk, as it is in
the poem; the play is done, and yet
to have witnessed it leaves the sensa-
ton that it was not play; it was
either the legend come to life or
gentle vision.

say, things have changed. Call on
Edith if you like. AS soon as you
show your mine is as rich as you say
it is, she can do as she likes about
marrying you, but not before
He held out his hand and Marriott
grasped it gratefully.
The three weeks he was obliged to
spend turning his pounds of platinum
into ready money and negotiating for
a coasting steamer for the return to

dream He spent part of every day
with the Whyards, and although he
saw no more. of the father, who, he
was told, had been suddenly called

after the three weeks were over, he
sailed away again in the tramp steam
er Montevideo, which he had char
tered and manned especially for the
voyage, he was already counting the
days before he could return for her
He carried a picked crew of twenty
men, and in view of the wild region to
which they were bound and the valu-
able return cargo, shipped few Win
chester rifles and plenty of ammuni-
ton.
As the inner. bay came in sight
there was a cry of surprise, for there,
anchored close inshore, lay a small,
gray-painted steamer. Marriott exam
ined her carefully through a power
full binocular. Her decks seemed de-
serted. but natives could be seen
swarming around the vessel, canvas
tents pitched on the beach and men
moving about among the rocky hill
locks where the platinum was con-
cealed. If not already discovered, 1t
was in great danger.
Marriott stood on the bridge, anx-
ious but determined. There was evil

on shore, but the strangers deck re-
manned empty and the Montevideo's
salute remained unanswered Appar-

he.

man scrambled aboard, leaving the

There was no one visible but the man

There is a little taxidermist's shop
on Fourth avenue which is a curious
place. 1t is very dusty and very full
of strange fowl, tucked in, one behind
the other, ON shelves that cover all
of one side of the room, and on the
other a wizened little old man sits all
day long beside a pile of most evil
smelling skins and dispenses words
of wisdom to whoever cares to listen.
One day when Marriott ran into the
shop before dinner he found the old
man in ecstacies over a new birdskin
that has just been brought in. 1t was
large and dirty and exceedingly ugly
and it had particularly evil smell;
but it was rare. and Marriott looked
it over respectfully.
Where did you say this bird came
from?" he asked.
The old man stopped washing the
birds legs and began to recount it's
history. The skin had been brought
to him by a sea-captain, he said-Cap-
tain Tourjee, of the Mary Ann Salters
from South America. Yes, he was
sure he was still in town; would Mr..
Marriott like his address? Mr.. Mar
riott, it appeared, would like it very
much indeed. He took it down care
fully, wrapped the lump of dirt in his
handkerchief and walked swiftly away
down the street, leaving the little tax
idermiSt staring after him with won
dering eyes.
Reginald Ernest Marriott, not long
since graduated as a mining engineer
from the College of Applied Science,
had his own way to make in the
world and nothing to make it with
but brains. 1t is true that he came
of an ancient family, whose name had
survived its prosperity, and that this
connection let him into as much New
York society as was good for him;
but nobody felt called upon to assist
him in any more practical way than
by inviting him to dinner and this
as it happened, was a very serious
matter, for there was woman in
the case. 1t was Edith Whyard, the
only daughter of Mr.. G. C. Whyard
who lived on Madison avenue and had
an Office on Broadway and was report
ed to be multi-millionaire. Though
no one seemed to know exactly the
source of his income, his style of liv-
ing bore out the assertion, and on
the strength of it Mrs. Whyard was
making an attack upon the portals of
society Naturally, when it became
apparent to her maternal eye that
her daughter was allowing her affec-
lions to drift in that Improbable di-
rection, she looked with extreme dis
appreciation upon young Marriott, and
her husband had for him the pro-
found contempt of the practical man
for the man of schools and theories
Matters We're in this state when
the young man paid his visit to the
taxidermist's shop and saw the bird
with the muddy feet. That night he
worked hard in the small laboratory
he had fitted up in his room, wrote a
letter to Edith, packed his possessions
and paid his bills, and the next morn
ing at daybreak he sailed out of New
York harbor in a south-bound steam
er, with hope in his heart, a wisp of
blonde hair in his watch-case and a
lump of black mud in his coat pocket
1t was a year after this and the
grass was green again on Madison
square before news was heard of him
