' Few people appreciate the fact that * to-day , at the dawn of the twentieth I century , there are still parts of the old Romlin Empire where no traveler of modern times has been ; that there ure ancient towns which no tourist has Been , temples and towers that no lover of classic architecture has delighted in , inscriptions in ancient Greek that no savant has as yet deciphered- whole regions , in fact , full of untiqu ? ties for which no Baedeker hns beci written , and which are not shown up on the latest maps. There are regions- within our temperate zone where no modern European foot has trod , so far as we are able to tell regions where the civilization of Greece and Rome once flourished , and where fine monuments of classic art , and of an unfamiliar art that supplanted the classic , waste their beauties upon the ignorant sight of half-civilized nomads To realize the truth of this , one need4s only to cross the ranges of mountains that run parallel to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean , and , avoiding all caravan routes , jour ney independently about the barren country that lies between these moun tains and the Euphrates. Here is territory which , though not wholly un explored , is full of most wonderful surprises. Here are cities and towns long deserted , not so great or so im posing , perhaps , as Palmyra , but far better preserved than the city of Zeu- obia , and giving a much truer picture of the life of the ancient inhabitants than one can draw from those famous ruins. These towns are not buried , like the great cities of the Mesopotamian - mian plains , nor have thfir sites been built upon in modern rimes , as those of the classic cities of ( Jrecce have been ; they stand out against the sUr upon high ridges or lie sheltered iu sequestered valleys , presenting to the view of the traveler as he approaches them very much the same aspect that they did in the fourth century of our era , when ( inhabited by prosperous , cultivated and happy people , or when deserted by those inhabitants some thirteen hundred years ago.

'Ain't that a Shame ? ' Ponderin' over it. I crept u [ ! on top of the bowlder an' looked over 'at some flat n.cks on the other side. It was a sight never to fergit.
