Cory Scene in Recent Popular Novel

Wayne of Ludworth's day was done,
and Red Radcliffe, with little time to
spare if the oncoming Waynes were
to be met, set his two feet firmly on
the ground and tugged and tugged at
the ak, where it lay in Wayne's big
skull, and wrenched it loose in the
nick of time. The stripping Wayne,
lighter of foot than his kinsman had
outpaced him, and his sword was per-
ilously near to Radcliffe, when at last
he wrenched the ax-head free and
swung it high again; once more the
sword was turned aside, lightly as
with contempt, and foster-brother
whistled as it cut the air.
"Shameless Wayne was close in now
and made a desperate leap to save the
lad; his fore foot lit upon a patch Of
offal in the road and he stumbled I'M
der the haft of the big ak as it turned
and whistled down the wind and bit
the STRIPPING through the bone. Fair
on : the crown Shameless Wayne
caught half the blow as it descended
and the haft, with thick steel at its
core, was weighty-and like log he
rolled beside his fallen kinsman."

Japan Is But Reclaiming Her Own

ance in northern waters having reach

vestigate. He visited Etorafu island
in the Kuriles and there found that
the Russians, true to the occidental
customs of medieval days, had ap-
propriated the unguarded territory in
that region by the simple device OF
setting up pillars to announce its occu-
patton. Kondo removed these wit
nesses Of theft and on his return to
Yeddo published a book dealing with
the questions of Sakhalin (Karafuto),
the Kuriles (Chishima) and KAN
chatka. The gist of his contention
was that the only tribunal to which
international disputes about boundar-
les could be appealed was the tribunal
Of arms and that if Japan hoped to
rest secure within closed gates she
must take steps to define those gates.
"Now after the lapse Of more than
10 years Kondo's foresight is to re-
ceive national recognition. Thus ia
pan is significantly pointing to the
pages of history, where in clear terms
her titles to this northern island are
inscribed. ~-, She virtually announces

Worship of Stones an Ancient Custom

Kaaba, the holy stone of Mecca, is
worn and polished by the kisses of the
crowding pilgrims; while the Do-ring
Of Lhasa, Tibet, marks another cen
ter of the universe.
There are other stones Of legendary
or historical interest which have
played a practical part in national or
civil life The Stone of Scone was
originally supposed to be the ancestral
god of the Irish Scots. 1t was kept in
the gray old castle Of Dunstaffnage I'M
til it was carried to ,Scone, and the
Scottish kings were crowned upon it.
Edward l. carried it to Westminster
abbey, and it forms the seat of the
coronation chair used by all the Brit
ish sovereigns.
The London Stone marked the meet
ins-place Of the Roman roads which
ran through the kingdom, and from it
all distances were reckoned. 1t was
supposed to have been brought from
Troy, and is mentioned in very early
records. To-day a fragment of it Is
embedded in the wall of st. Swithin's
church, London, and protected by a
strong iron grille.

Adaptable. Energetic and Opti-
mistic. 1t Has Created Great
Wealth, Out of the Unbozznded
Opportunities of Nature.

The horseback era followed the
navigation of the streams, and then
the railroad came to hang the great
spaces of the west with cities like
long circuits Of electric lights waving
along a boulevard.
With the railroad the westerner
passed away, leaving the American
citizen proud of his section. With the
railroad came the period Of town
building and town booming wherein
the men from the west, travelling
westward in a Pullman, endeavored
to make fortunes overnight in real
estate gambling. 1t took the collapse
of the boom and the awful years that
made Kansas bleed to teach them that
they had found a new empire.
In these men are now blended the
traits of the cowboy and of the real
estate man, of the vigilante and the
student of law, but added to all these
is the conservatism of the capitalist
and the responsibilities Of success.
They plunge" less now, since they
have more to protect. But they are

mistic spirits who pushed the pioneer

The Mohammedans have a great
ethical work called Eel Ktab," which
defines the essentials for feminine
loneliness as follows:
-Four things must be of black color
hair, eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows.
Four things must be white-skin,
teeth, hands and the iris. Four things
must be red-lips, tongue, gums and
cheeks. Four things must be round
head. neck, arm and ankle. -Four
things must be slender-f1ngers, arms,
legs and the back"
The final tests, however, are four
proofs of ignorance, which are be-
trayed by the eyes, nOstrils, lips and
fingers So you see the French writer

cally agree in raising the body Of

beauty is the power to attract. AS

An Englishman in Tokyo, writing of

When the Japanese captured Muk-

the sacred rock it looks as if the JAP
anese were putting themselves pretty
much in the middle of things, and max
ing the rest of the world spin about
their island kingdom.
The worship of stones was an an
cient and universal custom, and relics
of it's practice are found all over the
world. Up to Inc end Of the nine
teenth century the peasants of the
Norwegian mountains cherished round
stones, which they kept in a comfort
able bed of fresh straw. Once week
these stones were carefully washed,
smeared with butter or STEPPED in ale,
and they were treated with great re-
spect in order that they might bring
good luck to the house.
