the ramshackly old house with twenty
acres of rocks and hills behind it.
Old Daniel Burnham had been sur
veyor and John had been his assistant
ever since boyhood. 1t was dull life
in a way, but John loved nature and
he took great enjoyment in his varied
outdoor duties. When he learned that
a much mooted store of boarded gold

in moonshine and that all he had that

his head, he set at work to make the
best of the situation.

ruffied stream, however, their love
went on, nothing marred its beauty or
peacefulness. Twice a week evenings
John called at the Newton home and
spent a pleasant hour with the four
sisters Twice a week he and Adria
attended some village entertainment,
or took a quiet stroll.
And now, John was gravely detail

Vilhjalmur Stefansson in the opening

LITTLE KNOWN OF THE RACE
History of the Let's and Lithuaniars
Cannot Be Traced to Satsfac-
tory Conclusion.

The Let's and Lithuanians are two
kindred peoples of lndo-European orr
gin, which inhabit several western
provinces of Russia and the northeast
ern parts of Poland and Prussia. The
Let's are chiefly concentrated in
Vitebsk, Courland and Livonia. The
two races number about 100000, of
whom 100000 are Let's. Little i5
known about their origin, and nothing
about the time of their appearance in
the land they now inhabit. Living in
a forested, marshy country, they have
been able to maintain their national
character. Their ancient priests al
ways worshiped in the forests, and
even now the veneration of great oaks
is widespread custom in the VIII
lagos The Lithuanian, Lettic or Lett
fish, and Borussian languages together
constitutes a distinct linguistic group
Lettic is divided into high (the eastern
dialects). low s(spoken in northwest
ern Courland), and middle (the liter
airy language). In the eighteenth cen
fury a great educational movement
was started, and the society of the
Young Let's has been prominent in
an endeavor to free their language and
thought from German influence. This
movement has grown very much in ir!-
tensity during the last thirty years..
Large colonies of Lettic emigrants
have been established in the United
States.-Montreal Herald

More than half of the steps were not

to locate them. There were several
places from fifty to hundred feet
wide or more between the powders

there was no sign of any footing, and

to see just where one might expect to
