And now her weariness " -began to
weigh on her spirits so that for the
first time she began to consider that the
doctor might be away so that she could
not see him. "But Til wait till he comes
home. she said, aloud.
At last the doctor's house came in
sixrht. She walked us to the door and
rang the bell with a trembling hand. A j
servant answered her summons. K?
looked so tat and grand that she
thought it must be the great doctor
himself. He smiled at her timid que!-

"I want to see him on business." the
child replied. .

, when Stella reallr stood before him
i and fel. tfaa, th haven of hr hopes

.'her. and not one word of the- little
speech she had been repeating to her
self all the way could she remember.
How tall and stern he looked as. he tow

But the though! of her father lying

Dr. Reynolds knew very little about
por people, and cared still less, but
th1 child interested and touched him.
"Perhaps I couldn't cure him if I
went," he- said. "Oh. yes. you will."
she replied. "Ton are so good and so
great. Tou cere everybody."
The doctor winced- He had his own
private opinion about his goodness
Stella had passed throurh a great
deal that day. and as she waited for
h.ts answer with her heart In her eyes
she grew white, tottered, and would
have fallen if the doctor had hot caught
her in his arms. He remembered re-
morsef ully what his servant had told
him. The child felt herself gently lifted
from her feet- She hardly dared,
breathe when she -realized that the
grat man was holding h-r in his arms.
He carried her into a more beautiful
rrvm than s.he had ever even dreamed
of before, and laid her on a white bed.
"I shall zn with you." he said, "as
j soon as I can "Lie and rest till I am
" ready, then I shall call you." Ke left

'. lunch. Stella ate It eagerly, for she
was very hun'rry. She lay for awJiile
looking around the beautiful room, then
. kr yeKds closed and she fell asleep.
When she awoke the doctor stood be-
1 side her, and his face wore a look she
did nbt understand. He would not let
her -walk, but took her in his arms,
again and earned her to his beautiful
carriage.
Somehow. sh lost all her fear of him
during that ride; she told him all the
adventures she had on the way, all
about her home life and her father's
1 Illness. He drew her closer to him when
she told him how the tramp had fol
lowed ber.
Great was the neighbors' surprise to
see such a handsome carnage stop be
fore Mr. Wynn's door, and to see the
great doctor step out.
Mrs. Wynn was too anxious about her
husband to be awed by his presence.
, She received him with a quiet dignity
i which pleased him.
' He examined Mr. Wynn carefully. .
asked many auestions. then said: "It
is. a critical case, but I think we can
, save him."
And they did; never did man have
"better care than he. and when the
leaves on the maples were red and -gold.
. he was- well again.
Dr. Reynolds had I-amed many
things. Stella had grown very dear to
him. and he could not bear to have her '
living confidence in him shaken. So it
came about that many poor people
were attended by the greit doctor,
while pome rich ones were neglected-.
He :raind less money by the change,
but more of a sweeter, trutrr joy than he
had ever known before.
Stella often .visited him in the hand
some house, and later on became very
fond of the beautiful lady he chose to
b its mistress. His little children
Iarnd to love her. too. and to look for
t"T crrminc.
Onj day. when sh was sitting on his
knve. sb put her arms around his neck
and said: I love you. my doctor, be
cause you cured papa-" He kissed her
softly on the forehead and he re
plied; "Indeed. Stella. I think you had
as much to do with the cure as I did.
. It was. on your part, a Genuine Faith

real Garden of Eden. As the recog
nized cradle of the human race, it is
of overwhelming interest, but it is of
the very utmost interest, too. to the
scientist and naturalist for-entirely dif-
ferent reasons. From this remote and i
almost inaccessible corner of the earth.
for instance, came originally nearly
every one of our domestic animals.
The Bible says, in the Book of Gene
sis: "The Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden." And. indeed, if
ever there was a spot which seemed
to have been especially created and i
clothed with marvelous richness of I
foliage, of climate and of- diverse .
species of birds and beasts, with its j
verdant' valleys and luxurious plains, j
framed by an encircling range of i
snowy mountain peaks, it is the won- !
derfui Vale of Cashmere-
Here it was that Adam was created
.the first man. And here, too. Eve was
created as his companion. The ser
pent tempted them and sin entered
the world all in tie beautiful earthly
garden spot of the Vale of Cashmere.
Little, very little, has been known

plorer has begun work among them
the possibilities of the work of research
and discovery are almost boundless.
Who can foretell what may not de
velop in digging 4n the very ground
where Adam and Eve trod? Who can
say but that here, in this divine gard
en spot, the Creator may not have left
relics of the first man and woman..to
be carefully preserved for the explorers
of the year 1S35?
What would not be the sensation
created throughout the scientific and
religious worlds if the American ex
plorer now searching for prehistoric
relics in this "roof of the world" were
to find undisputable evidence corrobo
rating the .Biblical story of the cre
ation? On the very spot where Adam
was created to dominate the world and
the creatures thereof and where Eve
was brought into existence, may there
not be found proofs of their origin and
of the tragedy which drove them forth
in shame?
Here, where time has stood" still,
where a people older than any known
en earth are living in patriarchial
style, may there not be found some
thing which will bridge the chasm from
the present time to that of the first
man? The missiag link in the history
of the human race is here to be found
if anywhere.

VENETIAN MOSAICS.
An Old and Bcaatifal Art Revive T

The revival at Venice of the mosaic
art. chiefly for internal and external
artistic decor? tion of private and pnb-
Iic buildings, goes on uninterruptedly

sajrs the London Daiiv News.
A mosaic
is a jvork framed bv the use of Hes- i
serae" or small cubes of enamel, mar
ble or other material and of a gold-and-silver
leaf between two films of
the purest glass of various colors.
which are skiilfullv mixed on ement
so as to produce the effect of .a picture.
The composition of .human figures in
diffrent attitudes, -animals, draperies
or other objects repuiring a careful de
lineation are intrusted to the best
workmen and the execution of the
background to iess trained workmen-
The splendid mosaics which are made
at Venice continue to be in great de- ,
mand in the artistic markets of the i
world for the skillful manner in which I
the tesserae are arranged, for their ex- I
treme beauty and delicacy of color, the
rich harmony of effect and from their
being nearly indestructible. The man- ,
nenin which mosaics are now- made
for decorative pumoses is quite dif
ferent from the elaborate system taed
by the ancients, which consisted in fix

fixed with common paste on the section
of the cartoon assigned to each work
man. When all the parts of the mosaic
are complete they are put together on j
the floor or on a special wooden frame.
The mosaic, which is then a perfect
representation of the original cartoon, ,
is again divided into sections on the
reverse side, marked with a progres- j

covered with cement, into which the
sections of the mosaic are uniformly
pressed according to their numbers j
and the key-plan supplied to the fixers.
When the cement has hardened the I
paper on which the tesserae have been '
pasted is gently taken off and the faith

ly from Brooklyn.
She carried in ad
dition to other pas
sengers, ive members of the Peary re

home the plucky explorer and investi
gator after a couple of years' sojourn
in Greenland:
The party Included Emil Drebitsch,
of Washington. Mrs. Peary's brother,
who was in charge; Prof. Rolin D;
Salsbury, of Chicago University;
Theodore Le Boutillier, of Philadel
phia; Dr. John E. Walsh, of Washing

girl who resided with Mrs. Peary in
Washington last winter.
At St. John's the members of -the re
lief party will board the steam bark
enrine Kite. Capt. Bartlett. and sail
for Greenland. The expedition has
two principal dbiects in Tiew: First,
to reach Anniversary Lodge. Bowdoid
Bay, in North Greenland (latitude 77
deg. 4S min.). in- order to communicate
with Mr. Peary, his companion. Hugh

Greenland, in the spring of 1SS2. Mr.
Peary determined to map the entire
northern coast from Victoria Inlet to
Cape Bismarck. The expedition of '
1533-94 was organized for that purpose.
Driven back ia the spring of 1S94. he
determined to make another attempt
in the spring of 1S25.
Scientific instruments, camera and a
full supply of provisions- for the Kite
were put aboard the Portia, and the
little steamer was crowded to the rails
with boxes and -barrels.
The little Eskimo girl Echi-ocha
has been Irving with Mrs. Peary in j
Washington. She had become recon
ciled to her daily bath and eats with
relish food that she could not taste
when she came here, a year ago. She
is down-on the passenger list as Miss
."Bill." ;
Mrs. Peary did not sail. She wanted
to go. but the party dared not take her ,
2-year-old daughter, and she would not
leave her at home.
Emil Diebitsch is a graduate of Le-,
high University, and a ctnl engineer
by profession. Mr. Salsbury is pro
fessor of geographic geology in the
University of Chicago. He is about 35
years old. Dr. Walsh, the surgeon, ii
30 years old. He was for two years
lecturer ia histology and pathology
at the National Medical College, and for
some time- house surgeon in charge of
the Washington Asylum Hospital. Mr.
Le Boutillier is the representative .of
the Philadelphia Geographical Club.

ogy, taxidermist and curator of mam
mals and birds ia the State University,
at Lawrence, Kan. He went to South
Greenland from Gloucester. Mass.. on
May 15. The expedition will return

flen. firant aad the Circn-Hore.
The following is an extract from a
curious Japanese Life of Gen. Grant,
portions of which are printed in the
Century for July:
A year .and a half later a circus-rider
entered his village. Desiring to
see the show, Gurando Kuen-, on his
father's arm. entered the place. Point
ing to the horse, he insisted on riding
it himself. Hi3 father consequently
asked the circus-rider to let his boy
ride. Gurando Kuen, showing in his
face perfect satisfaction, rode on the
neck of the horse and appeared to be
persuading the horse to go. One day.
when he was older, he was playing ball
by his own house, and he accidentally
broke a" glass window of his neighbor.
Having regretted what he had done,
he made up his. mind, and went into
the neighbor's house, and excused him-
self to the lord of the house, sayicg:
I accidentally broke the window of
thy honorable house. I have no word
to excuse myself. The only thing I can
do is to my father tell, a new glass win-
dow buy, this loss repay. Please ex
cuse." This house lord, having been
much pleased with this child's unusual
thoughtfalness. without any condition
excused his sin. Indeed. Gurando

was allowed the liberty of Mr. Walker's

there .was a favorite roostiag-place for
Adam until Friday.
Mr. Walker was looking out df" the
window, aad in the nex.t yard saw a
mother cat with three or four kittens.
'She carried them on? by one in her
mouth and despositsd them on the grass
plot. Adam .was gravely watching ta
proceeding, and. suddenly descending
into the neighbor's yard, he seized a
kitten as he had seen the cat do. and
with it dangling from his jaws, he
scrambled up the fence. He was not
slow either, for right behind him was
Mrs, Cat with her back up and her tail
as big as a muff. Along the fence to
the window Adam ran, and jumped into
the room. Mr. Walker tdok the kitten
from him just in time, and shut the
window. Mrs: Cat knew no stopping,
however, and through the glass she
dashed, and after Mr. AdanL Walker
