Traveler Rebates His Experience \o
Harrowing Trip Through Terri-
ble Wilderness.
"The country I was now approach-
ing," said the travler, "was desolate
and dreary in the extreme.
"I was proceeding down a great
rocky canyon, from which at Irregular
intervals ravines led to the right and
left. Great mountains of stone rose
before and behind me, apparently
blocking my path, but far ahead I
could see a faint streak of daylight
which showed mo there was an out-
let to the deep defile.
"Although there were evidences of
human habitations I could not see a
soul. Occasior.all:*, far off, I could
hear sounds which resembled some-
what the toot of a steamboat whis-
tle, and his made me think 1 was
near the sea or some great river.
"Once in awhile I heard what to my
imagination sounded like the clang-
ing of bells, but though I looked care-
fully into several of the ravines I
could see nothing that resembled hu-
man life. At oth ?r times I seemed
to hear shrill, hoarse cries at a great
distance.
"I was parched and thirsty from my
long walk and the stones were rough
and my feet were weary, but still
there seemed no end to the length of
that interminable deserted canyon. I
panted for water, but the rocks yield-
ed none. 1 longed foi a drink of
whisky, but my flask was empty and
there was no jlace to replenish it.
"Still I stumbled blindly on, know-
ing that to pause there and tamely
submit to the desolate surroundings
would be folly. So on and on through
the terrible wilderness I plodded and
trudged, hoping against hope I would
soon see some sign of the human life
which had left its footprints and hand-
iwork all around me."
"Great heavens!" cried the listen-
er. "Where was this terrible, deso-
late country-^in Alaskan mountains or
the wilds of Arizona?"
"Neither," replied the traveler, with
a smile, "I was walking down lower
Broadway in New York at seven
o'clock at night when every one had
gone to t.he other end of the island to
get dinner."

A Bathing Beach Incident.
Something of a shock was given
early strollers on the beach at At-
lantic City by the appearance of a
young and pretty girl robed in a bath-
ing suit of rather scant proportions.
Instead of the conventional skirt, she
wore nothing but knockerboekers,
black silk stockings, high-heeled shoes
and a sailor blouse. Her hair was ti-
tian red, her complexion would have
made a good advertisement for one
of the many beauty nostrums and she
was shapely. The latter fact was ob-
served by the males who were out
early and who looked after the pretty
girl as far as the eye could catch her.
Not a drop of the briny had touched
that robe, nor was it really intended
for surf bathing. But a naughty little
boy, with mischief in his eye, caused
a panicky feeling to come over the
wearer. He stealthily walked up be-
hind her with his hat filled with wa-
ter and suddenly gave her the shock
of her young life. With a subdued
scream she turned and saw the young-
ster running up the beach. Then she
turned on her heel and disappeared
beneath the boardwalk.
