Brotherhood.

Your task is to form the universal
family, to build the City of God, and
by i continuous labor gradually to
translate his work in humanity into
fact.
When you love one another as
brothers, and treat each other recip-
rocally as such; when each one, seek
ing his own good in the good of all,
shall identify his own life with the
life of all, his own interests with the
interests of all, and shall be always
ready to sacrifice himself for all the
members of the common family-then
most of the ills which weigh upon the
human race will vanish, as thick mists
gathered upon the horizon vanish at
the rising of the sun.-From ''The
Book of the People," by Robert de
Lamennais, French philosopher and re-
ligious reformer, 1782-1854.

my blow had been a bad one, and
I was a convalescent for some time.
The schooner lined the West coast
We entered the Gulf of Guinea just as
the typhoon season came on. The
grain coast of Liberia, the ivory coast
of Ashantee, the gold coast of Daho-
mey, the slave coast of the blight OF
Biafra-all these we passed in safety,
and then, one tempestuous night, the
schooner went to pieces, blown upon
a rock by gale that drove every man

was the traitor Ducroix who was my

Lafort made a wry face. Again his

towards the squat, yelled figure. Then
he mouthed rather than articulated
the gruesome word: "Cannibals!"
reflected: Jangeh-was it there the

longed to present visitors in the pri-
vate Office. The cane was such as a
born dandy might carry. The hand
bag was crude in material and clum-
sy in shape. 1t was made of alligator
hide and was ornamented with shiny,
notified scales of some gaudy trop-
icaI fish.
At one side of Marvel's desk and
within it's shadow was a woman. I
could only divine this from her ap-
parel. Nothing of her features show
ed, for she was deeply yelled. I made
out that she must be squat to the
point Of obesity. Her hands were
splay, but stumpy. I wondered what
the handbag and cannibals could have
to do with her.
"This is my friend" spoke Marvel
shortly, and did not even look up
from some writing he was engaged in.

elaborate gesture Of courtesy. He
was a natural poseur, his manner

The Frenchman made a slight grim

Then he reached within the fashion
ably modelled coat he wore and
brought out a tattered and indented
card case. It's dislocated hinge came
loose as he opened it. He extracted
daintily and with infinite care what it
contained
This was the dirtiest card I had
ever seen. He handled it as carefully
as if it was some treasured heirloom.
He rendered it gingerly, tiptoeing to
reach me.
IF monsieur will read and return
he said.
The card was not Illuminating.
With infinite pride the Frenchman re-
ceived it back from me, and then with
sorrowful information remarked:
"Once honored, I, Lefort-in the
grand days of the cantatrice, the mod
els of Worth, of duchesses, while now

He embraced the squat figure in
shadow, mute and ominous as some
yelled sphynx, within a sweeping in

as dusk came up a yawl holding three
men. They ran into me. later

a schooner in the African trade. My
pockets had been ransacked. There
was nothing to indicate who ] was

card I showed you later discovered
in the lining of my coat. A storm had
driven the schooner out of her course.
They simply kept me aboard because
they made few landings. There was
passenger who probably recognized
that I was gentleman of culture, pos

I gave the speaker an intense stare.
The pen with which Marvel was writ
ing made splatter just here. 1t was
purposeful, to emphasize what ] nat
urally had discovered, that Napoleon
Ducroix was the name attached to the
Jebel River & Great Jangeh bonds.
"Ducroix learned my story. He af-
fected great interest in my forlorr
condition. He advised that remain

understood that the House with
three names were doll makers ex-

representative.
"See you, even royalty came to

From all this began to understand
that the racy Sophia, founder of the
celebrated Cobra" dance known over
two continents, had been duplicated
in doll fashion and exhibited to the
Vienna world as most artistic speci-
