Seeing a third man, they ab-

a Famous Runner.

lie fSaUs CT ERNEST Mensen In the
uiiddie of the last century make the
pedestrian feats of the present day
look insignificant. He was man who
first came under notice by running
from Paris to Moscow. a distance of
1,76O miles, in thirteen days and eight.
cen hours In 1886 he ran through
Central Asia from Calcutta to Constan-
unople, bearing dispatches for the East
India company. The distance is 5,615
miles, and he accomplished it in fifty
nine days, one-third of the time taken
by the swifteSt caravan. A favOrite
employment for him was as the mes
senger extraordinary of sovereigns. He
ran from country to country, bearing
letters and dispatches of the highest
Importance, and always beating mount
ed couriers matched against him. He
never walked. Invariably he took the
direct route to his destination, climb
ing mountains. swimming rivers and
guiding himself through forests in
way known only to himself. His food
was small quantity of raspberry
sirup.-PearsOn's Weekly.
