Gus breakdown, was greatly depressed
over the failure of his physicians to ben
eft him.

Dond between the two men, about
which this story is concerned.
AT last one morning Osgood saw a
small band of sheep feeding half way
up one of the higher ridges. They
were invisible to the naked eye. so
RECIPES never saw them; but through
the glasses Osgood could make out the
little purplish dots moving against the

OF grass high up among the Jagged
masses of rock.
A few hundred yards to their right

boulders and bleached tree trunks
among the foothills. The head OF this
assure began in the snow-fields of the
upper peak, and sloping mass of snow
between the walls seem to promise a
easy exit there.
Osgood decided that the best way to |
stark the sheep would be to ascend
this ravine and come out on the lower
snow-field, and accordingly he started

A TIGHT LITTLE ISLAND.
Manhattan Deserves That Title
Space at a Premium.


Space on Manhattan Island. which
is sure enough tight little island II
ever there was one, is distinctly at q
premium. The record price for real es.
tate in New York, according to Al
colin, was $3.50 square foot, obtained
four years ago for the southeast cor
ner of Broadway and Wall street.
On March 10 last the Fourth Ma
uonal Bank acquired the building ad-
joining its own home at the southeast
corner of Cedar and Nassau streets. a
plot measuring 1871 feet on the latter
street and 1872 on the former.
The average price square foot was
close on 1907 which figure has been
beaten by only three other sales of real
estate in the city-the corner already
mentioned and two small plots at the
southwest corner and the southeast
corner of Broad and Wall streets,
which sold over thirty years ago for
$3.50 and $348 a square foot, respec-
lively.
A fiftyfoot lot on Fifth avenue at
street, is reported as being
sold to E. H. Hartman for a million
dollars-and such price is by no
means rare in that section. Fifth ave-
nue. values, indeed, have been bound
ing upward. and will soon be rivalling

1t had been the lair of a wild animal:
but beyond giving an appreciative
glance at the huge rock, so regular in
outline that 1t seemed as il it had been
turned out by a giant lathe, Osgood
wasted no time over it. The glittering
snow-feld was not far away.
The snow shone directly down be-
tween the narrowing walls of the ravine
and turned its floor, wet with many
little trickling streams of water, into
a carpet Of warm colors. These little
streams had steadily grown more num-

AS the hole grew deeper it become

him, during which he sat on the rock

blank gray-white walls with unseeing
eyes. When these moments passed, he
