In letter 10 Hon. Henry Seymour
Conway, from Strawberry Hill, Of

number OF observations in regard to
the European situation OF that day
which are amazingly, curiously appo-
site to the existing situation.
"The invasion Of Portugal by Spain
in the last war, and the partition OF
Poland, have abrogated the law OF
nations,' writes Walpole. kings have
left no ties between one another.

CHAPTER X.

Early that year, the touch Of autumn
came to the air. Often, returning at
sundown from the afternoon life class.
Samson felt the lure OF its melancholy
sweetness, and paused on one OF the
Washington Square benches, with
many vague things stirring In his
mind. He felt with stronger throb
the surety OF young, but quickening,
abilities within himself. Partly. 1t was
the charm OF Indian summer, partly
sense of growing with the days. but,
also, though he had not as yet realized
that, 1t was the new friendship into
which Adrienne had admitted him,
and the new experience OF frank cam
araderie with woman not as men,
ber OF an inferior sex, but as an equal
companion of brain and soul. He had
seen her often. and usually alone. be-
cause he stunned meetings with
strangers. Until his education had ad.
vanced further. he wished to avoid
social embarrassments. He knew
that she liked him, and realized that
It was because he was new and virile
type and for that reason a diversion
a sort OF human novelty. She liked
him. too, because 1t was rare for a
man to offer her friendship without
making love, and she was certain he
would not make love. He liked her
for the same reasons that every one
else did-because she was herself. or
late, too, he had met number OF
men at Lescotts club. lie was mod
estly surprised to find that, though
his attitude on these occasions was
always that of one sitting in the back
ground. the men seemed to like him,

manner of real friendliness.

AS he accused himself, Samson was
looking at her with Inblinking direct

eyes that twinkled

about manners, and you know all
about hundred real things that

Samson's face lighted with the rev.
olutionizing effect that smile can
bring only to features customarily
solemn.

They range from four to twelve feet

one see these curious craft, which
serve principally for the transport OF
passengers, country produce and
beasts of burden across the river.
About three men are required to make
kufa of respectable size, and II
takes them some twenty days to build
it. Like the kelek, the kufa is OF
great antiquity, for both these strange

disputable, for on bas-reliefs taken
from the palace of Sennacherib both
