SHIRE Scotland, November 14th, 1877. and
died in London February 22nd, 1875.
Sir Charles visited this country In
1S41, having been invited to deliver the
Lowell lectures in Boston He remained
In the United States until the fall of
1912. and took the opportunity of travel
ing over a large portion of the northern,
middle and southern states. His work of
travels, edited now by DR.. John F. Cush-
ing head master of the New Haven High
school, New Haven, Conn. and issued as
one of 'Maynard's English Classic Sc
ries,' gives one a good account of men
and manners in this country from the
viewpoint of the foreigner.
The rabid negrophie will be Mortified.
OF course, to learn that an English gen.
tleman in 1874, In writing of the slaves
In the south, could say:
1.-THE negroes, so far as have yet seen
them, whether in domestic service or on
the farms. appear very cheerful and free
from care, better fed than large part
OF the labouring class of Europe; and,
although meanly dressed, and often in
patched garments. never scantily clad
for the climate. We asked a woman In
Georgia whether she was the slave Of
the family of our acquaintance. She re-
piled merrily.-'Yes, 1 belong to them
and they belong to me- She was in fact
born and brought up on the estate.
ION another occasion we were proceed
ing in a well-appointed carriage with a
planter, when we came unexpectedly to
a dead halt. Inpuiring the cause. the
black goodman said he nad dropped one
of his white gloves on the road and must
drive back and try to find 1t. He could
not recollect within a mile where he had
last seen It; we demonstrated, but In
vain As time pressed, the master in
despair took Off his own gloves, and
saying he had a second pair gave them
to him. When our charioteer had de-
liberately put them on, we started
again."
On December 18th. 1S41, Sir Charles de-
cides to go from Charleston to Augusta.
Went by an excellent railway 1876 miles
through the endless pine woods to AL
gusta in Georgia. This journey. which
would formerly have taken a week, was
accomplished between sunrise and sun
set"
The quaint old fashioned style of this
little volume will be admired for its SIM
plicity, and the retention of the original
spelling and punctuation will meet with
approval.
Life in 1S4 was in almost every respect
different from the life of today; and the
reader will unconsciously turn his
thoughts to present day affairs and COM
pare them with the statements printed in
this interesting volume.

Hedin also visited near the monastery
at Linga, one of those caves Frequent In
Tibet. in which, buried alive, hermit
spends his years till death comes to his
release.
For many years DR.. Hedin had set his
heart upon entering the forbidden city
of Lhasa. To gain this he had risked his
life more than once and endured hard
ships of which few men would be capa-
BILE. On his last journey he was almost
within striking distance of the longed-for
goal when his thoughts and wishes
changed. This he explains:
''In Lhasa I could add nothing to the
knowledge acquired by Youngnuspand
expedition two years before. On the Sc
lala l had conceived q great fancy for
the Trans-H imalaya, and no geograph-
icaI problem on earth had greater at
fractions for me. All my future enter
prises should have the object OF making
as thorough scientific investigation OF
the Trans-Himalaya as could possibly
be accomplished by one man In a single
journey. Yes, this task was SO tremen-
dous that my former longing for Lhasa
died away like the red Of evening In the
Tsangpo valley, this gigantic collonnade
of granite, this royal highway OF Bud
dha."
Dr. Sven Hedin did not therefore go to
Lhasa; instead, he went to more nota-
BILE achievement He devoted himself, az
he says. to the thorough exploration OF
the unknown wilderness of Trans-Him-
alaya, to his discovery of the sources OF
the mighty Brahamaputra.
Both on account of the valuable geo
graphical results obtained and of the in
terest which attaches to 1t, no more in
structive work of travel could be placed
In the hands of the reading public; nor
one that would be moro entertaining.

yellow teeth in that smile which Elmer

his lawless soul.

ness swallowed him up, after which he
found himself upon his knees, his arms
loosely encircling pair of legs. AS
he struggled upward something smote
him in the side with sickening force,
and he went to his knees again.
He could only raise his shoulder and
fling an arm weakly above his head in
anticipation of the crushing blow he
thought was coming. But it did not
descend. Instead he heard a gunshot.
A weight sank across his calves.
Then, with a final effort, he pulled
himself free and staggered to his feet,
his head rocking, his knees sagging.
He saw mans figure facing him and
lunged at it to bring up in the arms Of
"Fingerless" Fraser"
Boyd turned and beheld the body of
a man stretched face downward on
the floor. Beyond the fellow in the
gray suit was disappearing into the
crowd. Then he saw a CLEAN Of blue
metal in Fraser's heads.
"Give me that gun!' he painted.
II may need it myself, and amt
got but the one here. Let's get Clyde
out of this"
Fraser lifted the young clubman,
who was huddled in a formless heap
as If he had fallen from a great height,
and together the two dragged him to-
ward the Bedford Castle.
That night under glazing headlines
the evening papers told the story, re-
porting one fisherman fatally hurt, one
striker dead Of gunshot wound and
many others injured.
