Flight.

The gray dawn had spread and bright
ened in the sky before Geoffrey threw
himself at last upon his bed. and it was
almost daylight before he succeeded in
shutting his eyes to the pitiful white
ness Of Hetty's face and forgetting her
for a little while in sleep.
But she haunted his dreams. He could
not get rid OF her even in them. She
came to him-torturing him-his poor lit
tie Hetty in her working clothes with
her terrible white face and her red hands.
He tossed to and fro. waking and sleep
ing spasmodically. Tomorrow he would
force an explanation from her somehow
or other, and meanwhile If he did not
sleep, he would not be fit for anything.
His dreams stopped at last. and he fell
into heavy sleep. only TO be awakened
sharply. Some one was bending over him.
touching him. He opened his eyes and
sprang uD I'm bed.
What is the matter?" he cried; and

or two ago.
Godfrey looked at him keenly now, at
the thin face, the pale. cunning eyes. and

him and Bessie Merrill swept over him.

fool to throw over Ted Sealey for man

Suddenly he turned 70 Bessie again.

Bessie, I've got an easier way To a
fortune than that-less risky, too. Just

A GREAT MUSEUM.
Work I'm Natural History Done by q,
New York Institution.

/ Comparatively few. even OF the best
/ educated New Yorkcrs. realize what
strides are being made toward placing tho
American Museum Of Natural History IN
the first place among the museums OF the
world.
The building, when finished, viii occupy
nineteen acres, including four quad
rangles, and viii be unified by a mag
nifcent central tower. This museum has
two comprehensive aims. says the Crafts
man; first, to promote science by main
tanning exploring expeditions, by en-
coura giug research, and by publishing
the results of the work Of its investigs-
tors; secondly. TO promote education by
preparing instructive exhibits. by main
tanning courses Of lectures. BIZ circulating
collections in the public schools. and BY
preparing and distributing reliable info--
nation upon all natural history subjects.
A special feature Of this museum may
be called the exhibit for occasions. For
instance. Just after the news came that
Commander PeaTy had reached a point
nearer the pole than any one had before
gone, there was arranged in the hall on
the second floor an Eskimo sledge such
as he had used, with a team Of FIVE dogs
attached TO IT, and the figure Of a man
in arctic costume.
The JesUp collection OF woods Of North
America, each with full descriptive and
statistical labels. and the bird collections
arranged in cases TO show the habitats,
manner of nesting, food. and habits are
perfect in their presentation Of nature.
The meteorological collections have for
years been very rich. The departments Of
vertebrate paleontology and Of anthro-
pology are very full both in the exhibi-
ton halls and in the study series. The
laboratory facilities are excellent, and
visiting specialists are given rooms where
they may pursue their investigations
while consulting museum specimens.
But, generous as are the facilities offer
ed within its doors. the museum carries
its work far beyond them. There are 400
cabinets containing in all 15.O00 specimens
Of birds, insects, mollusks, &c, which are
sent out to public schools all over Greater
New York for study. With these collec-
tiOns so brief notes helpful 10 teachers,
with also a photography Of the subject.
These little cabinets may be retained
three weeks. and are delivered to and
taken from the school without expense to
school or teacher by the museum messen-
ger, who delivers them in the proper
sequence for study, Last year 90 schools
had these cabinets, and they were enjoyed
by about 100000 children. But this is not
all he museum does for children. Last
year the members of the museum staff
gave two courses Of afternoon lectures,
thirty-six in each course, In the museum
hail. and 35, 900 came to listen.
Not only is the museum open free to
the public on all days except Monday
and Tuesday, when % cents admission is
charged. but free lectures are given here
for adults on certain evenings and on
legal holidays.
