mountains, and there the climate
threatened to kill off the whole work
ing force, white and black. The negroes

river, but for the most part is 80 or 40

Matadi, SO feet above sea level, it
climbs a coast mountain range, the
summit of which it crosses IA miles
from Matari at an elevation of 2,342
feet. descending thence 1,483 feet to
Stanley pool. At places there are
grades of 1876 feet and even 238 feet
per mile, and curves of 164 feet radius.
Ascending the range not far back Of
Matadi the road rises TO feet in Az
miles. There are SO bridges, the long
est only 1913 feet long, and 1850 cul-
verts. All but three of the bridges
have only single span. The tor
rents carrying trees are hard on
bridge tiers. There is no tunnel.

engine was stopped. Crane, sitting in
the drawing room of his car, was en-
joying game of solitaire. The cards
were spread about the table and the
implement king did not appear to no

lather brush began to tickle his
mouth Crane, without looking up, in
quired:

When Hoppenjon replied, I'm here
only to shave" Crane placed the next
card carefully and went on. with the
game. The barber finished in five
minutes, was paid by a secretary and
