"And why should you wait to meet him, Mary, dear?" Humpy ground his teeth and looked uglier than ever, but the usual order of things followed.

Mr. Stern work ed strongly en her fears of her brother If Humpy had been a character in a novel by tho philosophic James or tho wittv Howells he would have thought- ! fi.llv" dimrnosed the situation for an I hour, and then remarked: "The out- j s,,rt,l,, is v,'r? n",i, l'i,,'u n planes grow come of this will b tragic."

A half starved street rat, that wandered by. saw Humpy lying in the sun, his head ( burled in h-s arms.

Oh, mother, if you hadn't died:" The eat wandered back into the kitchen, and gnawed away, undisturbed by the boy lying motionless by the door, or by tho girl sobbing there on the sofa. VI en the cat left the house the last thing it saw was the boy lying silent iu 'he scorching sun, and the last thing it heard was a faint moan that sounded like "Oh, niui'ier, !f you had not died!" .nee as u.. .upper .or ciumpy III at night, lint he did nut S"iMI. to notice it. He went over to tin; sofa and lay down with his long bony arms crossed under liitu.

Mary loved Humpy asmly a woman can love a monstrosity, and yet eh wmild give him no other hint of what was to happi-n. When Mary had g.me up stairs.

Nature ha given us such an inexhaustible store of interest that those who gt through life without "seeing" lose mi, eh of the -"est of it. Tho savage, who necessarily depends upon his keen eye and his ipiick ear, cultivates those f.teii' ies in an extra irdinary degree for does he not see indications and hear sounds which to an unpract iced observer would In utterly unintelligi ble?

One may possess everythinp ' in the way of scholarship, but if ho ot i she have that alone, those wdio an learned bill observiu will often make , them feel very small. I would, there fore urge my readers to cultivate the art of seeing or observing; there is nothing like seeing things for ourselves, t ur ideas become fresher, nore nat ural, and more in unison with latter day astes when they are formed from ob servation.

The aspect ol Arabia is that of a do'ayed country. While the ancient Arabians bored deep wells in the rock walled them with stone, and built stone houses, their Moslem successor, were clay builders, and now tho 15e- I doiiins only dig shallow pits with their hands and a suck. Among the oldest Arabian remains are huge erect stones, such as would be called hruidical in Britain, and buildings of huge irregular blocks, such as are commonly called Cyclopean or Pclasgian. Monuments 0f uncer tain age, built of unhewn stone, are frequent in the valleys and on the sur. ' face of the llarrat (or butte) el-Aney. rid, near Melyin Salih.
