SCULPT0R'S AFRICAN FAD.
Herbert Ward Uses Negro Models.
Has Collection of Negro Art Work,

Herbert Ward, the English sculptor,
who has his studio in Paris, devotes him
self chiefly 20 modelling negro men and
women, says the New York Sun He has
made statues from African natives Of
every race from Dahomey to the Sudan,
and from the Congo TO Zululand.
Besides. he has formed a collection OF
art works produced by negroes. Some he
has acquired himself in his travels in
Africa; many have been given to him by
explorers, notably by Stanley. whom he
once accompanied part Of the way on one
Of his African expeditions.
A feature OF the collection Is the iron
work, chiefly weapons There are lance
heads, arrows. battle-axes. and stars with
sharp points in all directions TO be hurled
at enemies. The forms Of ali the weapons
are artistic. They are beautifully mod
eled on sharp pointed leaves and grasses.
the beaks of birds and claws Of animals.
So closely are the outlines followed that
the sculptor says a person acquainted
with the flora and fauna Of the country
can name the pattern on which each
blade was outlined. The daggers are
usually shaped like the lotus leaf.
Another curious object is the African
drum found with many tribes It Is hol-
lowed out of a log, the two ends being
preserved, and its popularity is that It
gives out different tones according to the
place where it is struck. There are also
iron castanets. which are capable of pro-
| ducing a deafening rattle.
Then there are the articles Of adornment
male and female-nose and earrings Of
| copper. iron. and even precious metals;
| bracelets, necklaces. and anklets Of
/ human teeth strung like beads. War
trumpets are made from elephants tusks

PERILOUS ARCTIC JOURNEY.
Settlers Long Dog Sled Drive 10
Save His Wife's Life.

Down from the north. 10 the ST. Paul
Dispatch, comes another Of the fine
stories Of love and endurance that lend
to the silent northern places such warm
human interest. The story is Of one
James P. Galbraith, who brought his sick
wife into Dawson by dog team from the
Duncan district-a distance Of 175 miles.
Mrs. Galbraith became seriously i'll some
weeks ago. There was not a doctor any
where in the remote camp and heroic
steps were necessary. Galbraith was
not a man 10 hesitate because of distance
or obstacles. Securing the best team Of
trained dogs in the camp, he carefully
placed Mrs. Galbraith IN the basket

was of on the long run early in the
morning.
The first day out they made sixty miles.
II was a fairly good trail, but nothing
comfortable or enjoyable for a woman

did nobly and trotted along almost every
step Of the way. The streams were be
ginning 20 run water. At Clear Greek
the water was a foot and a half deep
and 200 feet wide. There was no way to
make the crossing but TO swim the dogs.
The intrepid musher wrapped his wife

bag. Then the dogs were given the lash
and headed toward the opposite shore

a sound in the cottage seemed TO rouse
him. He turned slowly and stumbled
blindly over Davy Merrill's neat garden,
dragged open the little gate and passed
out into tho street.
He nearly collided with Merrill himself
as he did so, and drew himself up with
a start and a faint cry as he greeted him.

It was nearly an hour later before
Geoffrey left the cottage. He got UP.

Of the lamp that burned on the round

him what I was doin' in case he should

Geoffrey looked round duly The little

had been ever since he knew it first,

I'm here in Oldcastle, and that I'm COM

she wants me 10 do"
Bessie nodded.
Yes, I'll tell her that" she said.
Godfrey strode toward the door. He
wanted to be out now. Perhaps in the
open air he could think. Perhaps out in
the night the heavy weight on his brain
would lift
He flung open the door and stood for a
moment on the step. looking out. The
yellow lamplight streamed out upon the
little garden path and lighted dimly the

strangely rigid in his chair and as Bes-

elbow on the little round table. his eyes
on the dark wood seeing, not it, but
Hetty's face as Bessie had seen it eight
ugly years ago.
She had not done it" he said, abrupt
T.. you did not believe it; you knew
she had not done it?'
Bessie took a step forward
'No; I wouldn't believe it," she cried;
Il couldn't believe It o. Hetty Lancas-

Godfrey nodded helplessly. He could
not speak for a moment. and Bessie
went on:
"She was starin' like as if she was
dazed," she said, "and Molly Byrne said
directly she see them she gave a little
cry and turned On the window sill and
slid out and run. She just ran. and af-
terward some said as that was a sign
as she were guilty, and others that it
was a proof as she were innocent There
was an outcry. and a lot o talkin' and
Callin' bad names, and then l tried to
think how I could prove 'er innocent,
and it seemed to me as 1 had made one
mistake anyhow, and that I ought TO "a

night o. the murder But it was too
late then. and Hatty herself did all she
could TO prevent me doing anything. She
said 4 was no good
Godfrey gave Bessie a quick look.
"Hetty prevented you?" he asked.
"Why?"
Bessie came a little closer. She put
