And pow"-- she slipped a companionable hand through the arm of each--"show us the boat." This was more like Betsy.

The northman's big voice boomed up into the masts with sheer joy. "Aren't you married?" he cried, his boyish face breaking into a pathetic eagerness that was too beautiful and too intimate for any one but Betsy to Bee. So the doctor was thrust out into a little world of his own for awhile, after Betsy ecstatically gurgled, "Gracious, no!" Betsy, dear little sister, didn't be- Jong to him any more. And he had in- elsted upon getting rid of her! "We've been engaged," Betsy's voice roused him, "ever since the Roosevelt sailed two years ago, but I promised not to tell till Paul came back. Do you know why I didn't want to come out here today? I thought Paul bad for gotten. He never let me know he still cared." "Foolish girl," said Paul, gripping both her hands In an ecstasy of recov ery. "It's all the fanlt of old New York.

"1 knew it." sald Betsy, "I knew It when I saw you." How He Broke Into Literature. Frederic Harrison was a close friend of George Hliot, and she often asked his advice In regard to points of law that came up in the course of her sto- ries. Bhe particularly needed legal ad- vice in a vital part of "Felix Holt," for, conscientious worker as sha was and as all really great artists are, she was not content to make a guess. Mr. Harrison listened as gravely to the presentation of her problem as if it concerned real individuals, The next day he sent her a carefully and con- elsely worded opinion, which she used in her book just as he wrote it. In the story It ts ascribed to "the attorney general" and Is referred to as "final authority." It ts the part printed In Italics In chapter thirty-five. Mr. Harrison was both surprised and pleased to see his own words used. He expected that the uvovellst would wish to express his legal oplujon In her own language.

Some interesting details have just come to hand of the remarkable trane- Saharan journey undertaken by Mr. H. Vischer, ome of the Protectorate Residents in Bornu, and through the forbidden hinterland of Tripoli to Lake Chad. The distance covered by Mr. Vischer was nearly 1,700 miles and the setual marching time two and a half months. The whole journe lasted from July 8 to Dec. 12.

The horses are stabled under sanitary conditions, and, if ihe potentate fies in for racing or breeding, a qualifiec veterinary surgeon is teach to the stable staff. On the other hand, the antiquated ruler of dusky millions has no sym- pathy with such new faungled notions as clean stalls and properly arranged loose boxes.
