able to manage successfully II of the

But he has never altogether lost the
desire to rove and every year goes OF
long hunting trips or tours of more or
less wild regions. In this way he has
kept up his physical yigor and is an
active man at fifty-fiye. As a young
mar he made Il trip across South Amer
lea, starting at Peru and coming out at
the mouth of the Amazon. He had bet
one white companion and enjoyed
many adventures on the trip. For
years he hunted every summer in the
Rockies and seldom failed to kill at

The Plains of Troy.

The plains of Troy, so famed and
f1ourishing in ancient days, are now
barren and desolate. The sculptor sees
no statues, the architect no remains
and the painter anything but a pic
turesque view. 1t Is fit only for the
collegian or the moralist. The classic
Scamander is but a muddy stream,
winding through an uncultivated plain,
covered with stunted oaks, underwood
and rushes. At the opposite extremity
Of the plain stand the tombs of Hector
and Achilles, that of the latter near
the Hellespont, where the Greek fleet
was moored. Near Is the grave of his
friend, Patroclus. All their glories are
now reduced to a few tumull, about
thirty feet high. The Scamander Is
between 200 and $50 feet broad and
very muddy, having the appearance of
being much flooded.
Farther up the plain its course be-
comes indistinguishable among the
marshes. After passing a smaller
river, you arrive at an ancient tumulus,
not far from the shore. What Is most
striking In this monument is the exist
ence of an arch, which forms an en-
trance to the center. Above are the
remains of q square basement, on
which the column of the tomb may
have formerly stood. On your return
you see the tombs of Achilles and
Patroclus and some others.
