A Glimpse At Tiierra del Fuego.

allied to the famous Patagonians of the Strait of Magellan. Their only garment consists of a mantle made of guanaco skin, with the wool side out; this they wear just thrown over the shoulders, leaving their persons as often exposed as covered. Their skin is of dirty cop pery red color.
 After we had presented them with some scarlet cloth, which they tied about their necks they became good friends. This was shown by the old man batting our breasts. and making a chuckling kind of noise, as people do when feed ing chickens. l walked with the old man and this demonstration of friend ship was repeated several times; it was concluded by three hard slaps, which were given me on the breast and back at the same time. He then barred bis bosom for me to return the compliment, which, being done, he seemed highly pleased. The language of these people. according to our notions, scarcely deserves to be called articulate Captain Cook has com pared it to a man clearing his throat. but certainly no European ever cleared his throat with so many hoarse, guttural and clicking sounds
 ''The day after landing I attempted to penetrate some way into the country. Tierra del Fuego may be described as a mountainous land, partly submerged in the sea, so that deep inlets and bays occupy the place where valleys should exist. The mountain sides, except on the exposed Western coast. are covered from the waters edge upwards by forests. The trees reach to an elevation of be- tween 1000 and 1.5o0 feet. and are sue ceeded by a band of peat with minute Alpine plants; and this again is sue ceeded by the line of perpetual snow. To ind an acre of level land in any part of the country is indeed rare. Everywhere the surface is covered by a thick bed of swampy peat. Even within the forest. the ground is concealed by a mass of slowly putrefying vegetation which, from being soaked with water, yields to the foot.
 Finding 1t nearly hopeless to push my way through the wood. l followed 1 the course of 6 mountain torrent. At first, from the waterfalls and number of dead trees, could hardly crawl along; | but the bed of the stream soon became more open, from the floods having swept the sides. The gloomy depth of the ra- vine well accorded with the universal signs of violence. On every side were l lying irregular masses of rock and torn up trees. The entangled mass of the thriving and the fallen reminded me of the forests of the tropics-yet there was a difference; for in these solitudes Death, l instead of Life. seemed the predominant spirit The trees all belong to one kind, the Fagus betuloides. for the number of other species of Fagus and of the win ter's bark, Is quite inconsiderable. This beech keeps its leaves throughout the year. but its foliage is of a peculiar brownish-green color, with tint of yellow. As the whole landscape is thus colored 1t has a somber, dull appearance; nor is 1t often enlivened by the rays of the sun."

WONDER SIDE THE RIVER"

them had been acquainted at all. But now neighborly intercourse would be possible and would bring much social happiness to the people on both sides of the stream.
 And among all that crowd of farmers, farmers wives and farmers children, few were so happy and excited as Jack and Mabel. Indeed, 1t was Mir. Greys wagon that had first drawn up to the bridge on the morning of the great opening" and the bridge men, dressed for the gala occasion, smiled and bowed to Jack and Mabel like old acquaintances, for they had become quite good friends during the building of the bridge. And before others came Jack was shown the bridge from buttresses to handrails. one of the build CTS explaining 1t all to him.
 When the crowd had assembled and the county commissioners, looking very important told the workmen who were watching the entrance to the bridge to open it for use, there was great hurrah, and one by one the vehicles Crowded to their capacity) rolled slowly across the bridge which seemed to open into other

Would you like to go home with me and remain till Sunday evening?" she asked in such sweet tones. of you should like to go-and your mother could spare you--it would afford me great pleas ure to take you along with me. My hus- band is as fond of children as am. and we'd try to make you enjoy the time spent with us.'
 "Oh. how I should love to gol'' cried Mabel. And so would l." put in Jack. eagerly. He had come up in time to hear the lady's invitation to Mabel.
 So, after a little talking and planning, it was agreed that Jack and Mabel should accompany Mrs. Brown (that was the good lady's name) to her home which she told them was .'away over on the hills, far from the river" And that was just what Jack and Mabel wanted. How they had longed and longed to see the country beyond the river, far away among the hills
 Mrs. Grey wrapped up Jacks and Mabel's nighties and gave them their combs and hair brushes and other little toilet accessories to carry along with them. And the children were quite hap py, for 1t seemed like taking a long journey.
 On the way to Mir. Browns farm Jack and Mabel got very well acquainted with Mir. and Mrs. Brown and enjoyed the conversation so much. And once at the farm Jack ran about helping MT. Brown with his evening chores. Meanwhile Mabel was assisting Mrs. Brown In get ting supper and was shown the three rooms of the house. While the place was cozy and as clean as pin it was poor indeed when compared with the children's own home. which was nice two-story stone house containing six big rooms. And Mir. Browns barn was only half the size of the Grey's barn. and his fields were on a hillside, rather poor in soil. And the country, which had been so beautiful at a distance, seemed com mon enough when brought so near to one, and Jack began to understand what his father meant when he said: Dis tance lends enchantment.' But Jack enjoyed every minute at the Browns and So did Mabel But they soon saw that their Fairyland of fancy was not on "yon- der side of the river," but really at their own dear home.
 You see, my dears,'' said Mrs. Brown, i've farmers of this side of the river

and placed them in the pewter casket and locked it. And to his surprise he found that only one gold coin was left in the pot. Now, what remains is for you," said the jinnee.
 Are you satisfied with the amount?'
 Dams face was aglow. "Yes, I am more than pleased, for I can get all that l really need with one golden coin for it amounts to more than I can earn in a year. And-the thing which makes me very happy. is to know that there is money to make the poor comfortable and the sick well. An, isn't that quite enough to make me happier than I ever was before?"
 "Then you are willing to give two hun dred golden coins to others, and keep only one for yourself?' asked the visitor. Dan said very emphatically that he was, and. that to give to the poor and to the sick would afford him greater happiness than to keep 1t for himself.
 "Ah, then sit down and eat your sup per. for 1t will be cold if you wait longer, and I will consider what you shall buy with the one golden coin,' said the jinnee Dan was not slow in obeying, for the fragrance of the steaming supper had sharpened his hunger and he fell to with relish. Never had he eaten such meal It was Q real banquet and for half an hour Dan regaled himself plenti- fully. Then, his hunger appeased, he turned to his strange visitor, who sat on stool watching him.
 "Ah, you have finished your supper. so now we can complete our business. Take the POO golden coins and do with them as your conscience and heart dictate You are a deserving boy. and l have con ndence in your doing the right thing And. having had my good opinion of you veri- fled, l shall make your one coin grow into a hundred" So saying, the jinnee touched the one coin remaining in the pot with his wand, and To! the vessel was soon almost full Then, while Dan stood looking with wonder on the heap of coins, he put his hand on the youths shoulder and said: You can now enter business as beftting your desire and ambition. And you can also have home--a pretty cot tage at the edge of the town with a garden about it. And in the course of time you will take to yourself a wife and rear children and they will be of the salt of the earth, for you are a good boy and will grow into a generous. honest man."
 Dan raised his head to look at the speaker. but at the instant the room be- came dark and when again the little ca ndle on the shelf fared it showed the room as it had been before the jinnee had appeared. But on examination Dan found the box and casket and pot held the hundred golden coins each. and the fire still burned warmly in the fireplace and

in through its sides. So. from one stand point at least, the room was a haven of safety for Dan. and was rent-free Once inside his room Dan stirred the few em- bers in the little fireplace and by the feeble light washed the bottle clean. Then, the darkness setting in. he decided he would walt little before going to the apothecary, for he knew that he went to his evening meal about that hour. and Shut his shop till his return.
 The room being so terribly cold, Dan lay on his bed and drew the covers about him. Thus he fell asleep, and might have slumbered oH for hours be- ing so tired, had not voice at his side spoken. Are you wasting precious evening hours?" asked the voice.
 Dan quickly awoke and sat up, star ing about him. To his wonder, the room had become both warm and lignt and fine supper was smoking on the table beside the glowing fireplace. Dan put his hand to his head, saying to him. self: I'm asleep and dreaming. Oh, if only l might awake to find everything just as I see 1t In my dream"
 You are not asleep and dreaming. my boy" spoke the voice. Then Dan looked about to see who addressed him. He had not been aware of anyone en- tering the room. His eyes rested on queer little figure, dressed in a quaint fashion. Why, where did you come from?" asked Dan in startled whis- per.
 q came from yon blue bottle," in- formed the queer little creature. "I'm a jinnee. Behold!'' And as he spoke the room became aglow with falling sun beams and diamond dust. Then, when the atmosphere of the apartment shad become as usual again, Dan saw that large pewter pot stood in the middle of the floor, running over with gold coins.
 What is ell that money doing here?" asked Dan in breathless amazement. ''It Is for you, providing you answer my questions as would have them answered." replied the jinnee. Come, what will you do with the first one hun dred coins that is on tine top of wonder pot full of gold?"
 Dan sat puzzled for moment, thinking what would be his desire to do with such 6 fortune If left to him. "Ah, I would make the towns poor happy by giving them warmth and food" he replied quickly, an expression of happiness settling on his fine face.
 Very good young chap" smiled the jinnee. Remove the first one hundred coins md place them in that silver box on the table,
 Dan did as requested Now, close and lock the box,' said the jinnee. Dan obeyed. Now, what would you do with the next one hundred coins?' asked the strange creature.

way, but they told each other of the many curious and beautiful things that they fancied were to be seen wonder side the river.'
 Well. can you imagine the surprise of Jack and Mabel when, one evening as they were returning home from school, they saw many men with surveying in- struments walking up and down on the river bank about half a mile from the very spot where they so often stopped to look across the stream to the blue and misty country beyond? And when Jack told his father about the men surveying the land about the river he said: "Yes, a new road is to be cut through from the other side and a bridge built close to our farm. Then the farmers living on the other side can get to market without going away down the river to

have harder work to get a living from the soil than do you of the meadow lands across the stream. But we man age to be happy, and get all there is to be had by hard work and economy; Some day we hope to have such a house as your father has on his farm. It is so complete and beautiful
 ''Yes, and your fathers whole farm reminds one of Fairyland almost" laughed Mir. Brown. "His fields are so rich, his garden in such fine soil. that 1t seems mere play to till the place. It's one of the richest and prettiest places I have had the pleasure of seeing''
 And on Sunday evening as Jack and Mabel rode homeward and looked across the river at their own pretty white stone house peeping through the trees all bright In their last autumnal leaves and saw the red barn In the rear and the dove house on It's roof, and saw the great pasture filled with loitering cattle and the horses running in their lot, with the white paling fence about the we'll kept yard full of the last hollyhocks of the season, and the arched gate-its au- tumn vines still covering it. they grasped each others hands and whispered. there's real Fairyland-there at home' And so it was, too, and while they had always loved their home they saw it from a new point of view and began to love 1t more. Thank goodenss for that bridge,'' said Jack that evening as they sat around the supper table in their own home Tt brought us into Fairy land all right. but first we had to go away into what appeared from q dis tance to be so superior to our own sur roundings and to be brought back from a distance to see 1t as the worldr-pass- ing by-sees it. We've the finest home on the river. Daday.''
 And the finest boy and girl In the world smiled Mrs. Grey. For they are so pleased with their own home.'
 "And with their papa and mamma put in Mabel, her mouth full of apple dumpling Ugh, it's good to be home again-it sure enough Fairyland.''
 But we certainly had fine time with Mir. and Mrs. Brown" exclaimed Jack. '"They are lovely neighbors, and now that we have the bridge we can invite them to our Fairyland often"
 Which we shall be happy to do son." agreed Mir. Grey.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-11-06


 As the day was very cool, the rejoicing farmers could not hold a picnic in the open. and MT. Grey invited them to come and make merry III nis big new barn. The floor was swept clean for the crowd table set and a fine old-style barn spread was soon enjoyed. Each good wife had brought well-flled basket of provisions and the table was loaded with good things to eat. In the afternoon a dance was enjoyed by the young folks and even Jack and Mabel took a turn at the old Virginia reel. Oh, such fun as all the good folks had on the day of the official opening of their new bridgel
 It was Saturday that all this happy time was held and late in the afternoon the crowd prepared to take their leave, for farm chores must be looked after.
 What a fine time we have had," de clared one nice motherly-looking lady, speaking to Mrs. Grey. And how de- rghtfully you have entertained us in your comfortable house and immense barn. It is the incest farm in these parts, Mrs Grey. But, poor as ours is I want you to pay me a visit soon and fetch along your lovely children. You know I have no little ones of my own and do love to have my friends children come to pay me yisits.''
 "Oh, how nicei' exclaimed Mabel, who was listener. Then she blushed pretty red to think she had spoken out so sud denly without being addressed. She was such a demure little maiden and rarely spoke unless being spoken to.
 The lady from the other side of the river turned and put her hand on Mabel's
