well , but soon the driver began to
whip up his horse so that they nar

"What's Uiu matter ? " demanded the
passenger. "Why are you driving BO
recklessly ? I'm In no hurry. "
"Ah , gwnnwld yoz , " retorted the

CEYLON : THE DOORSILL -
SILL OF INDIA
The Fanny Tkingt One Sect
in
Smiling Round tLc World
By
MARSHALL P. WILDER
( Copyright , by Joseph B. Uowlca. )
Beauteous Ceylon ! the real and
only "gem of the sea" and the tropic
sea , at that. Let not Ireland claim
the distinction of being the emerald
set in the bosom of the ocean blue.
For never was such emerald green
ness , such ocean blucncss imagined
of Ireland's sons or daughters as
adorns and encompasses this beau
teous isle of Ceylon. The doorsifl of
India ! Well , if India is not proud of
her threshold the step over which
one passes to her mighty and imperial
domain she ought to bo.
The harbor of Colombo is plentiful
ly endowed with natural advantages ,
hut outside of these the English gov
ernment has constructed an enormous
breakwater of tromendoits strength ,
as needs must bo , for during the sea
son of the southwest monsoon waves
break against it , dashing as high as
the masts of vessels that have taken
refuge behind its protecting bulwark.
Our attention upon entering the
harbor is first attracted by the fleet
of native dugout canoes that swarm
about the ship , the boys and men pad
dling them wildly shouting : "Have a
dive ! Hnvo a dive ! " and "One dollah !
Ono dollah ! " though if only a penny
is thrown over three or four will dive
headlong from their tiny craft , their
paddles left floating on the water , and
in an incredibly short space of time
they will come again to the surface ,
the successful one proudly displaying
the coin. They rescue their paddles
and leap lightly Into their cauoes
without tipping them in the least or
shipping any more than the usual
amount of water that floats in the
bottom of each. They are so small
that a certain amount la always
washed over the sides.
It is amusing to see one of these
natives , naked except for a very lim
ited loin cloth , sitting in the bottom
of his canoe , paddling with ono hand ,
imploring money with the other and
kicking the superfluous water out of
the canoe with one foot.
Our coolies who pulled us to the
Gallo Face hotel stopped at the gate ,
saying they were not allowed to go
inside , but we had heard of this trick
and insisted upon being taken into
the portico. Here , after making in
quiry of the door porter as to their
proper fare , wo ? paid them , only to bo
mot with a storm of indignant pro
testations and refusals. Only when
the money was thrown at their feet
did they pick it up and go on.
So the hotel has built for the
amusement of Its guests a very largo
and comfortably swimming tank , filled
with sea water , that Is always fresh.
The hotel has every convenience , elec
tric lights and fans , large airy rooms
and an excellent table , when ono con
siders their limitations. Compared
with the Hong-Kong iTotel and the
Rafllcs at Singapore it was perfect.
The Galle Face Is further blessed with
a splendid manager , Mr. Hoffcr , a
genial and obliging man , late of the
Hotel Cecil in London.
A good many of the castes wear
their distinguishing mark painted on
the forehead , and ono day at the table
I pasted a soda water label on my
forehead and said It was my caste

mark. I quite convulsed Joseph , but
fear the Cingalese waiter was rather
shocked.
The beach at Mount Lavinla , seven
miles south of Colombo , Is an enchant
ing bit , over whoso golden sands the
yellow foam rushes and gurgles to the
little cliff set thick with a long file of
bonding , swaying palms , some of
whoso long , slim trunks bend forward - ,
ward to the waves at an angle of con
siderably more tlan 45 degrees. Hero
bathing goes on at all hours and , let
me tell you , a dip in the Indian ocean
is a moat soul-satisfying experience.
The water is not only warm ; In some
places It is actually hot. Hut , oh , my !

or sink to the bottom yes , sharks erne

I was always a , little "dopy" about
the Indian ocean. I once know TV
young fellow ho was a French creep ,
born in the Isle Bourbon , now down
on the maps ns the Island of Reunion.
It is right in the heart cf the Indian
ocean , and not far from Madagascar ;
and the way that fellow could reel tiff
yarns in Creole French and broken
English about his natal isle would
have made Qeorgo W. Cable , lat of
New Orleans , turn green with envy.
Ha was a handsome chap and sang
divinely , and I flrst met him in Paris ,
where he was singing small parts nt
the Grand opera. Then I ran neross
him in Cairo , where ho was 'singing in
a production if I am not mistaken
of "Alda. " Afterward ho came to
New York with a company that pro
duced "Glrafle-Glrafla" at the Four
teenth street theater , and a very good
company it was. But , in whatever
clime I met him , his thcmo was the
same his beautiful Isle and Its beau
tiful ocean. Ho would talk for hours
of the "purple fingers of the dawn ,
stealing up the roso-vermllllon sky , "
and the huge , snow-capped mountain'
that rose in the center of the island
and overtopped the city of Port
Philip , which I think was the name of
the sea-port town whore ho was
born.
He told many pretty stqrlcs of his
home and of his parents , whoso only
child ho was the Benjamin of thrlr
"The Sun at Midnight. "
old age , long hoped and prayed for.
So they named him , when he did
come , Desireo' ( longed for ) . Ho had
a string of other names beside , but
I've forgotten them. Ills desire waste
to see America' and the Mississippi ,
of wfilch ho had read wonderful
things by Chateaubriand , his favorite
author. 'Fortunately the opera troupe
went as far south as New Orleans
and his deslro was gratified. Ho took
everything In America seriously and
his admiration almost took the form
of awe ; he would as soon have
thought of ridiculing the holy church
and all the saints as of ridiculing
anything American. As he wits of a
very happy disposition he would often
hum little -operatic snatphes or Creole
melodies while jogging along In the
horse cars , and this was very delight
ful to me until some would-be wag
among his New York friends told him
that ho must never do that on Sun
days , as the Americans wore very
strict in their religious ideas and
would take it as an Insult and prob
ably resent It. Very seriously ho
opened his handsome Oriental eyes
and , in tones of great surprise , ejacu
lated , as he had done for the hun
dredth time , "Wonderful people ! "
A little Incident , while It waa very
amusing , showed the romantic sldo of
his nature. The troupe , while travel
ing , stopped at a hotel In a southern
city , "Where a young lady guest at
tracted much attention by her hair ,
which was not only very thick and
heavy , but of a rich golden color. My
Creole filend , however , was ono of the
few who had not seen the young lady
and , as It happened , no ono had
spoken to him of her. But ac he was
about to retire ono evening ho
stepped into the corridor to say good
night to a friend and met the young
lady face to face , followed by her
maid , just as the bells of a neighbor
ing church were chiming the mid
night hour. Saluting the lady with a
profound bow , as was hls-forelgn cus
tom , ho was about to re-enter his
room when the brilliant gaslight , fallIng -
Ing full upon the lady's form , dls
closed the fact that her magnificent
hair was hanging loose about her like
a cloak , and every strand glittering
.like a thread of gold. The young fol
low stood rooted to the" spot ; then ,
clasping his hands , he said In tones of
the moat fervent admiration , " 1 have
soon the sun at midnight ! "
"What the deure is the matter with
you ? " said his friend.
"I have said it ! " replied the Creole.
"I will return to my country and 1
will tell them that in this wonderful
America I have seen that marvoloua
sight the sun at midnight ! "
It appeared that the young lady's
maid had been giving her mistress'
hair a bath and they had been sitting
on a.-ear balcony that the warm night
breezq might dry the wonderful
tresses before retiring to bed.
Which is why I say that 1 k > ved the
Indian ocean years before I saw it ,
and when I did see it brought back
these memories of my young friend
and his charming and ingenuous na
ture and his frank and honest heart.
