The flaps of the chiefs tent parted and his foster. mother started toward him with sud. den stream of tears and turned quick. ly back.

 Erskine had swung from his horse and followed. The old chief measured him from head to foot slowly and his face grew content: 5> >%r...
 "Show me the horse!'
 The boy threw back the flaps of the tent and with a gesture bade an h. dian to lead Firefy to and fro. The horse even thrust his beautiful head over his masters shoulder and looked within, snorting gently. Kahtoo waved dismissal:
 You must ride north soon to carry the white wampum and peace talk. And when you go you must hurry back, for when the sun is highest on the day after you return, my spirit will pass"
 And thereupon he turned his face and went back into sleep.
 Just before sunset rifle-shots sound ed in the distance-the hunters were coming in n-and the accompanying whoops meant great success. Each of three bucks carried deer over his shoulders, and foremost of the three was Crooked Lightning, who barely paused when he saw Erskne, and then with an insOlent glare and grunt passed him and tossed his deer at the feet of the squaws. The boys hand slipped toward the handle of his toma- hawk, but some swift instinct kept him still. The savage must have had good reason for such open defiance. for the iuu UVSuI to lCSl ilidt shared in his hostility and he began to wonder and speculate.
 Quickly the feast was prepared and the boy ate apart-his foster-mother bringing him fOOd-but he could hear the story of the days hunting and the allusiOns to the prowess of Crooked Lightning's son. Black Wolf, who was Erskine's age, and he knew they were but slurs against himself

The inhabitant of a vast region in the arid interior of Australia are still in the stone age and an effort is be- ing made to keep them there. Sixty five thousand square miles have been set apart as a sanctuary for the na- tives and no white men are allowed to enter the sanctuary. These natives fashion their rude weapons and imple- ments of stone and wood, and are en- tirely ignorant of the use of metal. Cannibalism is still in full force among the natives of the Everard ranges and they have to be constantly on the march to obtain food.

been regarded as a good Mohamme- dan.
 When the Turks were confused by a defeat inflicted by the Hungarian Army near Belgrade, Skanderbeg seiz- ed the fleeing Turkish Secretary of State and compelled him to sign an order to the Governor of Crcia in AL bania, ordering him to surrender the fortress and city to Skanderbege He then passed the unfortunate official into tn hereafter and, armed with the order, named himself master of Albania. That was about. 1443.
 He at once renouced Mohammedan- isman d proclaimed himself the cham pion of Christianity. At that time AL bania was entirely Christian coun- try, and there Hooked to his standard not alone his own people, but many Christian adventurerS from Western Europe.
 For twenty three years. under this mans leadership, the Albanians turn ed the annual punitive expeditions from Stamboul to naught. These ex- petitions were no Sunday school pic nics, says Mir. Johnson. as they in- voIved from 10000 to 10000 men and were commanded by hte ablest Tur- lsish generals. In the end Skanderbeg died as he had lived-for Albania and left his native land and surall son to the protection of the Republic of Venice. It was not the old hero's fault that Venice did not hold the trust for long, and 1t remained for the Balkan War again to free Albania from Turk ish domination.

rAIIEoAn TRAVEL.

The question c- safety Tn railroad rsvcl these days nro5ably gets the most attention directly after so-ne accident occurs Otherwise it is regarded n such a manner as not to interfere with 9 jour ney or 10 cause the traveller to seek other means of travel in order to obtain a greater degree of safety.
 We have not gotten to the time, how ever. when accidents dO not occur ar Then there Is no loss of life 10 the trav- fIng 1ublic Nevertheless conditions rave undergone decided improvement. There is better operation Of railroads. more attention is given to rolling stock ard rails. prev entive measures and i'm proved signal systems are established tn6 as the result the danger 10 life is. as Q shoul1 be. much less.

 This is disclosed Tn information that s furnished by Inc interstate commerce commission vixen !t shows that SO years ago the average American took eight -al-oad trins year. Now he takes twelve and where be went 24 miles on .ach oi his eight trips he now goes 3S. and ln spite Of the fact that he rides haif aEnin as often and goes half again farther the danger to his life Is less than hag as great as 1t used to be
 That is something that few people re- a,ize. although they cannot fall tc as1rtclate that considering the num- Der of people handled fatal railroad &C., cl7enis are few and far between. The commission also figures that the death rate in 1920 was one to every 5.673,00o while in 1889 it was one to 1,523, 900 thus reducing the danger to third oi what it was 90 years ago.

LIRERAToR OF ALBANIA

Whoever may be the future ruler of
 Albania. there is no doubt that many Americans know more about that
 country since the suggestion was re-
 gently made that Jerome Napoleon
 Bonaparte was being sought to preside
 over the destinies of that ancient
 mountain district between Epirus and
 the Adriatic Sea. It is, however, inter
 esting to note at the present time that
 the series of postage stamps issued
 by Albania just before the European
 War ontained a very well-engraved
 portrait of the early hero, who is cele-
 brated in history as being the first
 liberator of Albania, says the New
 York Times. This man was George
 Castrioti, but who Is better known by
 his Turkish name of Skanderbeg, of-
 ten spelled Scanderberg. His DOT trait is one of the lesser known faces
 on postage stamps. says Roland D. Johnson, in Scott's Monthly Journal. He is supposed to have been born about 14o4 and died about 146S. Dur ing those years he added a great deal to the historical interest of Europe.
 He was the son of mountain chief who was conquered by the Turks, and George, with three brothers, was de- livered to the Turks as hostages. George CastrioH was a mere lad at the time, but his natural wit gained the good will of the Sultan, who had | him well educated, especially in mili- tary affairs, and gave him command | of one of his cavalry divisions. When
 the father of the three boys died the Sultan, then Amurath. II, caused the ] other boys mysteriously to disappear 1 He kept George and advanced him in
 the Turkish military duties, thinking I that he had entirely forgotten his AL l banian land and had. settled down to

 A convent that illustrates the changes wrought by the revolution is to be found within Moscow.

NEW ENGLAND CONSIDERED.

In order to permit the coal operators of this country to enter into better com petition with the British coal operators a plea has been made to the eastern rail- road lines for a reduction in the rate for hauling coal for export. To this the railroads gave negative answer and they have nov informed the interstate commerce commission and the secretary 0. commerce that 1t cannot be done and one. of the things considered by the railroads was that f they reduced the export rates those reductions would have to apply on coal moving to New Eng land and they concluded they were not in such financial condition as to stand the cut in revenues"
 Thus 1t would appear that the rail- roads had not ignored the New England situation. It Is to their credit that they are not willing to cut their export rate without at least doing as much for this part of the country. It Is a bit strange that there should be a demand for a cut ting ot the rate for hauling coal for ex- export when nothing of the kind is sought for coal that is sold within the country.
 The fact of the matter is that if there is going to be any rate cutting in re- gard to the transportation of coal It ought 10 he done for the benefit of New England before there is thought given to fixing a lower price on that part of the commodity which goes outside the country. New England has had enough trouble with coal shortage, coal prices aud coal transportation to entitle 1t to as much consideration as foreign buy CTS. It is therefore to the credit of the roads. even though they cannot see their way to lower rates. that they do not dis crininate In favor of the export busi- T ss against New England.
