During my visits never more than dozen
of these interesting little birds. Their breeding
places among the boulders the most acces-
sibe parts of the shore. and an egg collector, who
has lived great number of years at Akureyri
(the principal port the north coast of Iceland)
boosted to me that there were little auks left
breeding in Grimsey, he had taken every egg.
Fortunately, few have escaped him, but the
birds have evidently enormously decreased since
the island was visited by Hantsch. the German
naturalist.

white summer piumage, we're the commonest

had hoped and for the time being I had to
agree However the thought that I had been

captain instead. He told him that ice had been
seen of Grimsey four days before our arrival,
and Of course scorned the idea OF our going to
Jan Mayen. The prospect did not seem hopeful,
but as the ice was near told my captain that
should like to go and see It, and turn round as
soon as we met with It. AS we had perpetual
daylight this suggestion found favor We went
over to Grimsey where the inhabitants only con-

her different from that thousand 9th

What Two Vanity Fair Girls Saw in the Ghetto

A PLAIN, stout woman was cross
n ing the cobbles OF a street down
town. 1t was a street broken out all
over In a business rash of secord-
hand clothing and noisy with foreign
tongues.
The woman herself had the saffron
glazed skin and soot-black hair of an
other land than ours. Her shabby
black gown was somber enough for
a chief mourner, except for an out
b---st of red on her breast, and
her head was partly covered with q
rusty lace shawl
A thousand other stout women In
shabby black with shawls over their
heads might have crossed the street
without attracting attention. This
one was the exception. And it Ia the
exception that counts.
