He did not go out of Germany at all and was not supposed to know any time but German" "The thing is as great a puzzle to me as it is to you," said he; "I feel foolish about it because you were trusting me in way to see that you got out at Aix.''

to find out if it was myself or my father who had been born in Canada and why; to find out if had ticket and if l had paid for it; to see if 1 had got into any body else's berth or if any other person had got into mine. We were two in our compartment, German gentleman aud myself. The seats were wide and over six feet long. There were two pillows or cushions with each seat. We slept very comfortably
 came back by daylight and passed close by Waterloo, but did not stop off. have seen a lot of battlehelds and l will not worry if 1 do not see any more. l was looking at one of the hills at Waterloo when l thought of a story Dave Cathcart told me. You may not all know Mr. Cathcart, but 1 doubt if there is better historian in Alaska. The French had taken Belgium and the English had sent over an army to try and drive them out. England may have been fighting for England, too, but that has nothing to do with the question. Any other people in the world would have turned out to man to help another drive an invader from their country. The Belgians sent couple of regiments to fight in the British army, but they were very wet rags. At Waterloo when the fight was the hottest the two regiments calmly walked off the field. They marched up slope and as the foremost reached the top of the hill the British colonel who had been fighting alongside or dered his meu to swing round. "Let the French go for minute or two and give our late allies, the brave aud valiant Belgians, parting salute. Aim just below the waist, boys," he ordered. In less than a minute several hundred Belgians were sitting or lying on the top of the hill with bullet holes in the seats of their trousers and wondering how it had happened.
 But to go back to my own troubles. l had return frst-class ticket to Cologne and up the Rhine about two hundred miles, rail or steamer, and good for six months. could stop off at every station between London and the highest point on the Rhine so that l was back within the six months. At the Belgian frontier the German con- ductor or guard woke me up. He did not know word of English or French. l asked the other gentleman to tell him I was getting off at Aix. The guard said, "No, you want to get off at Cologne" l asked again, through my friend, if he supposed l did not know where I wanted to go. The guard said, 'sNo; you do not know where you want to go." knew that the train was due at Aix at 3:15, so l asked the guard what time he was. He showed me his watch and we were exactly the same time. When he left told my friend that 1 did not want to go past Ak nearly a hundred miles and have to go back again; that I would leave the train at Ak if it stopped at all. ] had an hour and half to wait so l cuddled up for another hour. Then l began watching for stations. We stopped at one place; my partner woke. "Where are wei" he asked. "Duren," l replied. "Impossible," said he; "Duren comes after Aix." said. i've are not due at Aix until 3:15. "What time are you now?" "It is not yet three" ] answered.

AROUND THE WORLD
Dr. Simpsons Story of His Visits to the Countries of the
 Old World

Before beginning my trip to Germany I wish to make an explanation. Be- cause look on the world as more or less of a comedy some may think am making light of religion. Such is not my intention. l know that 1 am in the minority-that 1 am like the youngster on the beach, livery much alone" 1 fully realize that although have no re liCion, that there are millions of think ing people who are brighter and more intelligent than I who have. Some of the legends which 1 shall relate have been transmitted from father to son and from grandmother to grandchild for hundreds (some for more than a thousand) years. Those tales or stories must have changed little during that time. Many of those legends have sev eral versions, but have always given that which seemed to me the most probable.
 Left Charing Cross station for Dover. 1 thought the stations in St. Louis, i Chicago and New York pretty places, but when look at the numb of large stations in London, each one as large as any of those, think that the Eng fish are doing little something, too. No matter in what direction you de- part from London, when you reach the outskirts of the city you see trains on every side creeping, crawling, gliding or flying to their destination all as busy as little Martin Mattson the time of his wheel barrow contest. The circumfer- ence of London is over 15O miles and this kind of thing goes on all day and every day and all around the city. In one little jack-legged village or town called Clapham Junction they told me | that over twelve hundred trains passed through there daily. Loring Elliott would say that that was going some"
 reached Dover, but you have nearly all been there, so will say nothing about the castle or chalk cliffs. We landed at the pier, walked aboard the steamer, and in twenty minutes were on the way to Ostend. The passage lasted about four hours and l was very disagreeable. It was rough; we had nearly 500 passengers and only about a dozen (of which was one) were able to go down to dinner. 1 have been so much at sea lately that I suppose I have got over seasickness for time. But if there is anything in the world that is insufferable it is man who is we'll while nearly every one about him is seasick.
 intended to stop at Ostend over night, but it was dark when landed and the hotel was nearly mile from the dock. It was so easy to go aboard the train and I had an idea that 1 would be in Aix la Chapelle by mid night. Just as we left the guard told me that we would arrive there at 3:15 a, m. Sleepers in Europe are the most expensive and the most unsatisfactory things I know of. I have paid as high as ten dollars night besides taxes and fees and it seemed to me that every fifteen minutes somebody woke me up
