gin of the varieties of the
human species is Interestingly
stated again in a letter from Louis
p. Siebens, of Roxbury, Mass. More
may Rang upon the decision of
this question than they who read
as they run imagine. Among other
things, its solution would, by re-
.vealing hereditary tendencies and
their causes, teach us a great deal
about the essentials for the i'm
provement of mankind.
Mr.. Siebens asks: May not the
cradle OF mankind have been in
the northern regions. because
aeons ago, when the sun had more
heat than now for the earth, the
southern parts were too hot for
habitation? Also, is It not prob
able that the color OF mans skin
was originally black, and was grad
ually changed into light or white
by the effects of climate?"
In explanation he goes on to say:
my point of view is that the north
ern regions, although a sealed book
for the first ancient historians.
were the natural cradle of human
ity and that the pigmentation was
altered by climatic variations, for
nature, permitting always the
strongest to survive, at the same
time protects all creatures, and
sometimes by color changes.

Siberian white hares, 500 in num-

about three years they lost their

had felt for many a year. Strange
thoughts filled his mind. What
was in store for little Lady Tall
bois. here in the home Of her
fathers. Surely, everything that a
girl could wish for in life.
A long drawn. stifled cry. a cry
OF pain and fear, was borne on
the still night air. 1t was very
faint and shrill-it seemed to come
from far down the hillside. Mr..
Deane turned his head. He
thought he recognized that ami.
mal-like sound. The cry Of a hare.
perhaps, with its leg smashed in
a trap. Mr.. Deane left the win
dow with a frown and shivered
again. He was a gentle soul;
suffering and death, even Of the
meanest creatures. were abhor-
rent to him.
To drive the matter from his
mind, he crossed the room and
looked at the portrait of the Lady
Tallbois of Charles court, under
which Joan had stood on the day
when she came to the abbey. and
which she resembled so strange
ly. He glanced from it 10 the
Knayth goblet. Mr.. Deane smiled.
He was planning in his mind
great reception for Joan when she
should come down to take posses
sion. He would make It a won
derful homecoming for her.
Still pondering the matter,
Deane passed out into the grounds
and wandered down the grassy
slopes in the moonlight. He left
the terraces behind, scarcely notic-
ing where he was going. Life had
a new interest for him now. the
splendors Of Knayth were TO be
revived
Suddenly Mr.. Deane stopped
short and peered at a dim form
that was lying prone beside a
clump Of Towering bushes.
Who is that?" he exclaimed
sharply. Get up, man.
The figure did not stir and
made no answer. Somebody
apparently asleep. or drunk. He
was lying on his back, with knees
drawn up and arms extended.
Deane drew nearer.
The man was dead. A blacken-
ed face, with livId white marks
about the throat. was turned up
ward toward the moon. In the
glazed. sIghtless eyes there was
still an expression OF dreadful ter
ror.

Deane as James Floyd, footman OF
