Where Noah Disembarked.

Nakhitchevan, or Nakhikhevan, Ar menia, on the slopes of Ararat's great CT peak, claims to be the oldest town in the world. The name of the rude little village means "He descended here" and the townspeople allege that on that very spot Noah disembarked with his family and animals and set up housekeeping. planted the vine," made wine and celebrated. The tomb of Noah's better half is at the base of the mountain, and a fragment of what Is said to have been the true ark" Is preserved in an Armenian monastery. Noah was not buried in "the worlds oldest city," but near Damascus. He was very large man, the natives will tell you,. and as proof point to his sup posed grave. which is almost fifty feet in length. The Armenians also locate the Garden of Eden near Ararat.

 MacBeard's tumble had knocked to
 the floor, had reduced the air pressure to normal. The creature was suffer ing because there were only IS pounds of air upon each square inch of it's surface It suffered just as a human being suffers on a high mountain.
 It squirmed and writhed, and the water was churned up by its 1appers. The gill openings beneath the ears Tapped convulsively. Donald could do nothing. He knew that it was growing visible because it was dying, as happens with the crystalline crabs and other invisible denizens of the deep sea. Soon the force of the in- ternal pressure would disrupt it.
 He turned off the gas and staggered out through the kitchen into the little garden. He knew now that Master mans story had some germ of truth |: | he had discovered some species of deep-water-seal and his mind, strained by his privations, had imagined the rest. Why, he himself had almost | imagined he had seen a woman in the second tank!
 He reached the gate, opened it, slammed it, and ran down the road. He did not cease running till he pulled himself up under street light. He realized then that he was hatleSS; people were staring after him. And, looking back, he imagined that he saw the shadowy outlines of the girls body beneath the light of the lamp.
 "Fm going crazy!" he muttered. "It's been a crazy night. I wonder I wonder how much of it happened and how much was the result of the blow!"
 And he half believed MacBeard had never existed, and that a burglar had assaulted him.
 But, as he thrust his hands into the pockets of his trousers, he pulled out the single page of Masterman's manuscript, and then he knew that there was at least some basis for the busy brain.

If he knew that his past was revealed, my life would be worth less than even the two months which my doctor gives me.

| ana IL IS III SOnc SilSAI AS 1 turn for all the clubs and private hos
 pitality that Englishmen have always
 received in America that the house has | been turned into an American OhcerS
 club, writes J. P. Collins, London cor respondent of the Boston Transcript
 As such the king and queen opened l 1t with visit of inspection and ap- proval without formality, and declared | their pleasure that 1t had retained the homelike atmosphere. That, in word, | is the main charm of the place, and the donor, Lord Leconfield, has added sunshine to daylight by making the l gift complete, for he has put not only his house but its contents at the dis posal of the committee concerned. Leconfield house is favored in it's sit uation. It backs upon old Chesterfield house, where the writer of the famous (and infamous) letters kept Doctor Johnson waiting on the mat century and a half ago, until the great Samuel turned in his wrath and indited let ter which is worth all his lordship's epistles combined. You may read in these same epistles all about the glo- ries of Chesterfield house and what it was meant to be; but 1t cannot com pare for comfort with its neighbor, and club without this quality of com fort is no club at all.
 5t stands off Curzon street, the street where Smollett starved, Disraeli died. and Becky Sharp cut fashionable and dashing figure before her great col lapse. It is the high street of Mayfair, which is the most privileged and cozy of our London parishes, because 1t skirts the best end of Piccadilly and the royal quarters, and puts you with in five minutes of Whitehall and every where that matters, by means of a pleasant saunter across the green park.
 Lord Leconfield is a nephew of Lord Rosebery, and a cousin to the late George Wyndham, the courtly states man and critic. His 1ordship is a pleasant blend of both these interesting figures, except that he has never shown the Primrose Earl's turn for graceful oratory, and revealed compensating good sense by leaving politics practi- ca11y alone. He has served in the First Life Guards and commanded the Sus- sex Imperial Yeomanry besides which he saw fighting in South Africa, and u ties are for travel and sport. He in- herits from the third Earl of Egre- mont all the glorious Turner's at his chief country seat, Petworth in Sus- sex, and his family have always had an eye for a good picture. It is all the more gratifying and generous, therefore, that in handing his town house over, he has left his ancestors and their friends undisturbed upon the walls; so that the new inmates for so long as the war may last, and perhaps little beyond, will find stately con- pany in some of the best-known master portraits by Van Dyck and Sir Peter Le1y.
 This very generosity, however, was an occasion of misgivings, for the rari- ties and nick-knacks that make for dis tinction and interest in private abode may be redrndancieS or even a nuiS- ance in a club. When Lord Leconfield, as an old Pilgrim-and a founder, by the way-aSked his brother Pilgrims to take the place and the scheme in hand, he gave them carte blanche to do as they would with the furniture and belongings. They boarded up the
