MYSTERIOUS New Guinea.
rom tho Wide World Magazine

From the w iue VofPu NEEaAipc.
New Guinea is the mystery of the
world today. Many travellers have pene-
trated into darkest Africa. and the ex-
plorer has made his way into nearly
every other quarter OF the globe. but
around this great island-the second larg-
est in the world-there still clings the
romance of the unknown. The interior
is a te ia incos nita. into which the white
man has penetrated hitherto only very
short distances. With the exception Of
Sir William Macrregor and Mr.. Laurentz
no one has gone so far into the higher
attitudes which fringe the coast as my
self and my two sons on our last expe-
dition undertaken for scientific purposes.
How completely New Guinea is sepa-
rated from the outside world can be
gathe ed from the fact that while Thurs

An English Jockeys Fortune.

From the London Globe.
To make q fortune of $250.00o as q
jockey is a feat which places the late
Tom Loates at the pinnacle OF his pro-
fession SO far as mere worldly wealth il
concerned. OF course. the fees in these
days are much greater than when Fred
Archer, who left E66,o00. and Fordhanl,
who was worth under 10000. were in the
prime of their racing careers. But then
1t is not every one who has a Leopold ds
Rothschild to advise in the matter Of in-
vestments, and IL said that Tom 1<oates
was thus particularly favored. =

which was situated on the steep incline
of a little embankment that lay close to
the beginning OF a suburban street. Paul
and Nell lived in the most delightful city
suburb ali the year around, and during
the summer had found much pleasure in
sliding down the above mentioned en-
bankment sitting on smooth little boards
which the good old gardener had prepar-
ed for them. Indeed, 1t was the old gar
dener who had first initiated them into
the sport Of sliding He had told them
in his simple way: When ] was a young
ster. my little friends. 1 didn't have such
piaythings as you youngsters Of today
have. Climbing, swimming and sliding
were my sports. An / think l liked the
sliding best Of all, for that could be had
both winter and summer. You see, in the
winter We Slid down the hin on the snow;
In the summer We slid down 1t on the
dirt Hee. hee. but 1t WAS fun, sliding
was"
And 80 Nell and Paul had begged the
old man to explain the game OF sliding to
them, which he did most gladly. and he
went even farther, for he prepared two
nice little boards for them to use as
''sliders." Now. the sliders were to be
sat upon, and would .,seootn down the

the sport. and stop near to the end OF the
little street. just on the incest level place
Then Nell and Paul would jump of the
.sliders'' and walk UP a little path Of
steps dug into the bank) close beside
the sliding place. and in their arms they
would carry the "sliders." for the old
gardener had thoughtfully made them of
very light wood.
And 80 Nell AMI Paul had played much
OF the time during the summer. and come
to feel that they owned the little sliding
place. And now, away into October. they
spent many Saturday mornings at their
pleasure ground. sliding with tho same
10y that had marked their fiTst expert
ence on the embanknent.
