THE RE-CREATION OF BRIAN KENT carries a message that will 
strengthen human faith to happiness: “The foundation principles of life — 
honesty, courage, fidelity, morality, etc. — are eternal facts. Life must and 
will go on. You can neither stop it nor turn it back.’’ In the author’s 
inimitable, fascinating style this message is like a heaven-sent blessing that 
will cheer and give courage to millions of weary, storm-tossed souls that 
have all but gone down in these recent years of world chaos. “The Re- 
Creation of Brian Kent” is a delightful Ozark story of life and love, sweet 
and appealing with pathos, rich in philosophy, masterful in character 
analysis, charming in description and intensely dramatic, not with physical 
combat, but with skillful visualization of the clash and conflicts of the in- 
visible forces of life. ,

“No, tank yo Cap’n,” said Sam, “haint 
got time; got to mek c’nection wid de 
State Road. Yah! Yah!” 
Sam passed on and was soon out of 
sight around one of the many bends of 
the river and railroad. When at last 
we arrived at Kingston Sam was stand- 
ing on the edge of the platform and 
shouted : 
“I dun tol’ yo, Cap’n; if de State Road 
wuz on time yo’d bin leff, shuah. Yah! 
Yah! Yah!” 
I arrived in Atlanta that night, and 
the next morning I started north for 
Baltimore through the valleys of East 
Tennessee and Virginia. Late in the 
afternoon our engine broke down beyond 
the possibility of immediate repair. 
There was no prospect of pursuing our 
journey until the arrival of the train 
next morning, so we were compelled to 
make the best of it, and best it proved. 
The accident happened near a small sta- 
tion known as Max Meadows, where 
there was a freight depot. 
In the meantime the people of the 
neighborhood became aware of our 
plight, and with characteristic southern 
hospitality resolved to make our forced 
stay as pleasant as possible. The word 
having gone out, the farmers and their 
wives and daughters came riding or 
walking to the station from several miles 
around. They brought with them cooked 
pro\nsions, bread, rolls, cakes, butter and 
milk. The ladies soon had pots of steam- 
ing coffee and tea on the station stove. 
A long table was improvised which was 
soon filled with a really tempting sup- 
per, of which we all partook liberally. 
After supper and 'when everything was 
cleared away and packed up, some ne- 
gro fiddlers were requisitioned and the 
floor was cleared for dancing. Every- 
one entered into the spirit of the oc- 
casion, and Ave danced until broad day- 
light, and only gave up the merry rout 
when the whistle of the approaching 
train was heard. Then the aged 
preacher of the neighborhood, who had 
been very active in promoting good 
humor during the evening, offered up a 
prayer of good will for all, and closed 
by saying: “Inasmich as ye did it unto 
one of these, ye have done it unto me.”

THE BLACK RHINO 
OF THE LADO 
(continued from page 605) 
a party of Baganda porters over the Nile 
and into the Congo where we met many 
rhino and saw their tracks everyw’here. 
We w’ere there a couple of months but 
none of the porters ever leanit to dis- 
tinguish either the animal itself, or its 
spoor, but always reported them as 
elephant. 
S OME of the rhino found in East 
Africa have on their flanks deep 
grooves alternating with ridges. 
There is a good specimen of this kind now 
in the London Zoological Gardens. At 
first sight it appears as if the animal is 
emaciated and that his ribs are sticking 
through his hide. In point of fact these 
hard ridees are not immediately over t-k-
