My Car and the Nioht.

While driving my car through the
stormy night, my little boys head falls
against my shoulder.
He sleeps, and a great surge of emo
ton rises in me.
When | saw him at play, when
heard his merriment, no such intimate
tenderness overlooked my heart.
Now, though | only feel the light
pressure of his small body in the
dark, how keenly l realize my father
hood
What a gladness it is!
| am made strong by his weakness.
Yes, I am strong. l am proud of
my strength to struggle, and some
times to win.
But when in my turn, shall grow
weary and fall asleep on the shoulder.
| wonder, shall |, too, inspire the
Great Tenderness?

IS ANCIENT LAND
...1 S a It One Time Home of
Large Population.
even To-Day Mantle of Mystery Hang
ing Over the Country Has Not
Been Completely Lifted.

We can now turn to the really ro-
mantle side of the Rhodesian min
eral deposits. One of the favorite
pilgrimages of the tourist is to the
Zimbabwe ruins, located about II
miles from Victoria in southern Rhode
STA. They are the remains of an ap-
Gent city and must at various times
have been the home of large popuIa-
tons. There seems little doubt that
Zimbabwa was the work of prehs-
tOric and long-forgOtten people.
over ii hangs a mantle of mystery
which the fictionist has employed to
full and at times thrilling advantage,
Isaac f, Marcosson writes in the Sat
urday Evening Post. In this vicinity
were the King Solomon mines that
Rider Haggard wrote about in what is
perhaps his most popular book. Here
came Allan Quatermain in pursuit of
love and treasure. The big hill at
Zimbabwe provided the residence of
She, the lovely and disappearing lady
who had to be Obeyed. The ruins in
the valley are supposed to be those
Of the Dead City in the same romance.
The interesting feature of all this is
that "She" and king Solomon's
Mines were written in the early sos,
Wien comparatively nothing was
known of the country. Yet Rider Hag-
gard, with that instinct which some
times guides the romancer, wrote fair
ly accurate descriptions of the country
long before he had ever heard of its
actual existence. Thus imagination
preceded reality.
The imaginative miracles disclosed
in the Haggard books are surpassed
by the actual wonder represented by
Victoria falls. Everybody has heard
of this stupendOus spectacle in Rhode
STA, but few people see it, because
it is SO far away. | beheld it on my
way from Bulawayo to the Kongo
Like the Grand Canyon of the Colo
RADIO, it battles description.
The first white man to visit the
cataract was DR.. Livingstone, who
named it in honor of his queen. This
was in 1850. For untold years the
natives Of the region had trembled at
