(To BE CONTINUED,
EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL
Ancestors of Present People Were
Called Upon to Face Beasts That
Inhabited Plains and Rivers.

The first houses were caves. Early
man was fighting animal, and had to
contend against the huge and feroci-
Gus beasts that infested the plains and
rivers, observes writer. His dwelling
naturally had to be place of security
as well as a habitation. Caves were
natural and artificial, the latter being
followed out of solid rock by rude flint
instruments. Most of them were form
ed in the sides of cliffs and among
high, rugged hills.
To those early ancestors of ours, the
primeval men and women who secured,
as one would think, but scanty shelter
and protection from these stone caves
and holes in the rock, we apply the
generic term of cliff dwellers.
They were entirely ignorant of agri-
culture, and subsisted by hunting and
fishing and on the natural products
they found growing in wild state.
What is very remarkable, at our
very doors can still be seen the typical
houses and handiwOrk of those pre-his-
tOric tribes in the caves of the Lancos
river in southern Colorado. These, in
most instances, are as well preserved
as when their ancient occupants de-
serted them-perhaps 10000 years
ago. When inhabited they were reach
ed quite frequently by notches cut in
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.

Gladstone a Hard Worker.

Gladstone was hard worker, with
no breads with regard to work, says
the American Magazine.
He turned from political RESPONSE
bilities of the heaviest to Greek for
recreation, and lived his four-score
years and more, just as Pope Leo
XIII, turned to Latin poetry for his
relaxation from worldwide burdens,
and lived on beyond four-score and
ten, living so hopefully that when,
at the little dinner given him on his
ninetieth birthday, one of the cardin-
ais said, in proposing toast to him,
Here's that you may live to be a
hundred, holy father" the old pontiff
replied: "But why limit me to a
hundred?"
They were contemporaries of Ranke,
the German historian, who at the age
of ninety-one proposed to write his
tory of the world in u volumes, one
volume to be completed each year,
and actually lived, 1 believe, to COM
plete nearly half Of it.
These men had no breads; but they
allowed their energies to work on,
without any fear of exhausting their
vitality.

CHAPTER IV-Continued.

About a mile below the falls he met
two men. One of them was Colby Mac
donald. He carried a coil of rope over
one shoulder. The big Alaskan ex-
planned that he had not been able to
get 1t out of his head that perhaps
the climbers who had waved at his
party had been in difficulties. So he
had got a rope from the cabin of an
old miner and was on his way back
to the falls.
! The three climbed to the falls,
crossed the bridge and reached the top
of the cliff.
"You know the lay of the land down
there, Mr.. Elliot Well lower you" de-
cided Macdonald, who took command
MS a matter of course.
Gordon presently stood beside Sheba
on the little plateau. She had quite

as he dropped the loop of the rope over
her head and arranged it under her
shoulders.
He showed her how to relieve part
of the strain of the rope on her flesh
by using her hands to lift.

above.

Sheba he said, "Hold tight"

himself from the rope. "You are TEL

He turned away, abruptly. it struck
Elliot. and climbed down the natural
stairway up which the young man had
come. Presently he rejoined those
above. Macdonald looked at Elliot
with a new respect.
"You're in luck, my friend, that
we're not carrying you from the foot
of the cliff" he said dryly. Il wouldn't
cross that rock wall for hundred
thousand dollars in cold cash.
"Nor again." admitted Gordon with
a laugh. "But we had either to home

Miss O'Neill's deep eyes looked at
him. She was about to speak, then
changed her mind.

HOPPING Exercise.

Hopping is one of the best exercises
do, too, for the movement consists of
jumping first on one foot and then on
the other, so that the whole weight of
the body will be borne by one foot and
leg for one or more minutes. This ex-
ercise improves the way of carrying
the body when walking, states ply
steal culturiSt, for it develops balance
as well as muscle. This exercise
should be taken when going to bed and
the windows should be open, so there
will be plenty of fresh air in the room
While hopping breathe deeply.

when she left. They strolled out to

reserve he felt bound to respect.
Macdonald left the boat twenty miles
below Kusiak with Mrs. Mallory and
the Selfridges. A chauffeur with
motorcar was waiting on the wharf to
run them to town, but he gave the
wheel to Macdonald and took the seat
beside the driver.
"Are you going to the hotel or direct
to your cousin's?" Gordon asked Miss
O'Neill.
''To my cousins. fancy she's down
here to meet me. 1t was arranged that

Elliot caught glimpse of the only
people in Kusiak he had known before
coming in, but though he waved to
them he saw they did not recognize
him. After the usual delay about get
