of Tomsk, Of 1rkutsk, Of Kazan, Of Nov

long time. But, oil at once, he began;
The Latin race does not advance. The
others leave it behind. What have we

philosophy it is the same thing. Since
Descartes and Pascal there's nothing.
The Latin race is hobbling.'
"Astonished, waited for more. But
he ceased to speak and ehewed on his

Ibsen is 20 US more comprehensive

"The old man, piqued by this ava
lanehe of learning, began to explain 20
me the Importance of the trans-Si-

down to the mall where was To-

was met by native attendant.

Mr.. Sanderson was out and the at
tendant was extremely sorry that
he did not know when his master
would return.
In the large room in which
Smith found himself were hun

some time Smith examined vari-
Gus things and then halted before
q tall, bronze sturk around the
neck Of which were hung pair
OF field glasses in Il case. For a
minute ne regarded the glasses
and then called to the attcndant.
How much are the field
glasses?"
".Sahib, the glasses are not for
sale" replied the attendant.
Smith turned his back on the
stork with the glasses and was
confronted by q large window cut
up into many small pancs Of glass.
AS he gazcd through it at the dis
tant SUBMITS OF the llimalayas, he
became aware Of something I'M
usual in the window itself. Simla
can be very dusty in the summer
time and the outside OF the Win
dow was mono too clean. with the
exception Of one small square Of
glass near the TOP. This one pane
had recently been cleaned--pcr-
haps hurriedly busted Oft with Il
handkerchief. Through it Smith
saw the round top Of small
mountain but a few miles distant.
He realized that with the glasses
he could obtain q worry close view
OF the tiny peak by focusing

Smith knew the topography Of
Simla and the surrounding coun-

To fir" il at Smith pistolwise with

Suddenly 4 huge rock crashed

into the valley below. The horse

mountain side. Cautiously Il

leaned further out and looked up
