SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the introduction
OF John Stephens, adventurer. a Massa-
shusetts man marooned by authorities at
mining operations in Bolivia, he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as consequence was hiding. AT his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman and young woman.
Stephens rescued the young woman from
drunken officer. He was thanked by
her. Admiral Of the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens, told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
and offered him the office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda n
Chilean vessel, should be captured
Stephens accepted the commission.
stephens met a motley crew, to which he
was assigned. He gave them final in
structions. They boarded the vessel. They
successfully captured the vessel supposed
TO be the Esmeralda, through strategy.
Capt. Stephens gave directions for the de-
parture of the craft. He entered the cab
In and discovered the English woman
and her maid. Stephens quickly learned
the wrong vessel had been captured.
i was Lord Darlngton's private yacht.

He explained the situation 10 her lady

Seeing the waterloo Battlefield.

We chose a Sunday morning for our
trip, the first day that the sun had
shone in week. An auto was pro-
cured, and we were soon riding through
wooded park, laid out in fine roads and
walks. Our road took us through
number of small whitewashed villages,
in which we often met groups of peas
ants on their way to church. all dressed
in bright colored clothes and wearing
large wooden shoes. At last the Lion
Mount came into view, and we soon
arrived at the Hotel du Musee, where
we left the automobile.
The principal places to be visited on
the battlefield are the Lion Mount, the
farms of Hou gomont and La Belle AL
lance and the monuments. We pro-
cured a guide at the hotel and as the
entrance to the Lion Mount is in front
of the building, we visited it first. This
mound is about two hundred feet high,
topped with a stone pedestal on which
is placed bronze lion. Usually. when
ever we read of the battle of WaterOO,
we found mention of a "sunken road"
to which Napoleons defeat is attribu-
ted, as he was ignorant of it's existence,
and when his cavalry charged. they
dropped sixteen feet into this road, and
completely demoralized that portion of
the army. While visiting the United
Service Museum in London, the attend
ant showed us a large scale model of
where the sunken road was located he
manifested great establishment. and
said that the sunken road was merely
a matter of fiction, devised to take
away some of the glory that the Eng
lish deserved. When | questioned other
Englishmen on this point, they all
agreed that it was myth The proba

day might have ended in quite a diff

Several years after the battle, the

the dirt in baskets on their shoulders
The mound is pyramidal in shape, hav-
ing on its top a large bronze lion,
weighing twenty eight tons. and cast

From the top of the mount the view
of the battlefield is excellent, the whole
surrounding country being laid out be-
fore one like a map. Our guide stood
beside us and pointed out the posi-
tions of the different armies, and gave
a most realistic description of the
whole battle. Returning TO the hotel
we got into the automobile and drove

unless we waited for it. we started
out to see the sights. Our first visit
was to the Palace of Justice. This is
a very fine piece of architecture, but
it looks unfinished. 1t is situated on
a plateau, overlooking the lower parts
of the city, and is about six hundred
feet square. The building is pyra-
midal in shape, having well-formed
tower rising from the center, four
hundred feet in height. The cost of
erecting this beautiful building was
ten millions of dollars. Near this is
the Art Gallery. which has a most eX
cellent collection of paintings and
sculpture, which includes a number
of paintings by such men as Rubens,
Van Dyck and Teniers. There are also
a number of examples of old Flemish
art, such as altar pieces and paintings
on wood.
Town Hall of Brussels.
In the lower part of the town is
large square known as the Grand
Place. This is said to be one of the
finest medieval squares in existence,
and is surrounded by equally medi-
eval buildings the most modern build
ing on the square having been COM
pleted in 100. These buildings were
occupied by the different trade guilds
which practically ruled the city. The
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1910-05-01

most interesting building on the square
is the Hotel de Vile. or city hall, COM
pleted about 1855. and is a truly Gothic
structure. 1t contains some fine
old paintings, and is finely decor
ated. The tower on the building is
nigh, from the top of which an excel
lent view of the city can be had. We
climbed up the five hundred steps. and
We're amply rewarded for our trouble.
The day that visited the building
was Saturday, the day that they hold
the flower market in the square. To
look down from the tower on the bright
beautiful sight.
The principal church in the town is
the Cathedral of St. Gudule, which. like
the Palace of Justice, is built on a
plateau. The construction was COM
menced in 1920 and owing to the two
fiat towers, has a rather queer look.
The Dogs of Holland.
Another interesting sight in Brussels
is that of dogs drawing wagons. When
farmer leaves home with his produce
instead of leaving his dogs at home
