The Daily Story
Bunkoed by Gre ek-By NJ. Quad.

The pair of US had been in Athens
three or four days when a party of
English excursfonists who were max
ing a tour arrived. Among them was
an autiquary who was looked up 10
and respected for his knowledge of
ancient history and ruins.
Professor Himstead, as he was named,
had been charged TO pick up all the old
Greek manuscripts to be had for mon
ey, and it was his inquiries for such
documents that doubtless led TO our I'M
doing. One day man named Talanti,
who had somewhat the manners and
dress of a gentleman. brought the pro
fessor two ancient manuscripts as
present. and to show his further good
will he announced a valuable discovery
which had Just been made on the is
land of Aegina, about forty miles dis
tant. He was the owner of the island,
and while his workmen were getting
out some stone they had come across
some rare treasures in art, but had de
veloped only small portion of them.
They had partly uncovered stone box
which he believed held a large number
of manuscripts and valuable coins, but
some Of his friends might be present
Three or four of them were going TO
his island home tomorrow. and he
would be glad to have on his yacht as
many of US foreigners go along as
could make it convenient
Aside from the English party. there
were Americans, Germans and French
men 10 the number Of twenty in Ath-
ems, and when the list was made UP
we numbered over forty. of whom ten
were ladies' When we went on board
there was considerable surprise at find
ing her the craft she was. She was
nothing more than a trader. and her
accommodations were of a primitive
character.
Ny friend the professor could speak
Greek but when he entered into CON
versation with Mr.. Talanti's friends he
found them sulky enough. This excit-
ed our surprise, as they were supposed
to be gentlemen. When we came to
look them over We began TO get a little
suspicious.
AS we approached the island we saw
it was fairly covered with trees, yet it |
did not have a hospitable look. AS we
made a close approach we could see a |
couple OF rude huts and a primitive |
jetty, but Mr.. Talanti explained that /
his castle was hidden by the forest and /
that he was landing at that point to /
save US a long walk.
As soon as the craft was made fast
the three eminent friends of Mr.. Ia
land suddenly produced pistols and
knives and took their station by the
gangway- The sailors divided into two
parties, and. handling their naked
knives in a menacing fashion, they
drove the people into line.

London.-(C orresp ondence of The

to be established at all the leading rail

Thousands of soldiers pass through

great need for canteens where the sol

the womens plan that its assistance
in carrying on the work has been as
