He took possession of this delightful country for Spain, and then spent many weeks exploring its coast. After sailing north as far as St. Augustine, and finding neither gold nor the fabled Fountain of Youth, De Leon turned his vessels and proceeded south, doubling the Florida Cape. Shortly afterwards he became discouraged and returned to Puerto Rico.

In an instant I was overwhelmed by the flood of passengers which it poured on the pavements. "Hallo, you here! How goes it? What are you staring at? My stovepipe? Observe it well, my dear fellow the latest invention of Leon; the patent ventilating, anti-sudorific, and evaporating hat!" It was Larive who had just climbed down from the knifeboard.

Leon soon had a steaming hot supper on the table. First of all, Reade swallowed a cupful of coffee. Then he began his supper. "I wonder if Ferrers can get back tonight?" Tom mused, after the meal. "He might, but a doctor couldn't get here tonight, unless he, too, could move fast on skis," Leon replied. "Anyway, I'm not as worried as I was," sighed Reade. The door opened, and Alf Drew entered.

About a week after the conversation detailed in the last chapter, the train stopped at the little station near Dalton village, and Leon Dudleigh stepped out. At the same time a woman got out of another carriage in the train. She was dressed in black, and a crape veil concealed her face.

We embarked once more on board the little Leon Belge for Gibraltar, well pleased with our brief visit to the curious Moorish capital. The Sultan of Morocco is supreme, and holds the lives and fortunes of his subjects at his will. He is judge and executor of laws which emanate solely from himself. Taxation is so heavy as to amount to prohibition in many departments of enterprise.

This is due to the activity and unlawful proceedings of the sargento-mayor Christoval de Asqueta, long since an agent for father Fray Lorenso de Leon. Such a relation is completely contrary to the rule of our order and our withdrawal from the world.

"Do you mean the daughter of Harcourt Linwood, he that was said to be so rich?" "The same," returned St. Leon. "Where are they?" Uncle Israel settled himself with the air of a man who has a long story on hand, and intends to tell it at his leisure.

But it was far from Hugh's intention to stand there and see his locker robbed by such an unprincipled fellow as Leon Disney, if, indeed, the skulker proved to be the party they suspected. Possibly Hugh moved too soon, for it would have been much wiser had he waited until the sneak thief actually had the locker open, and disclosed his full intention.

Leon didn't try to make any. Mostly, he said something to keep on talking, but sometimes he saw when he had better quit. I was having a good time, myself. Of course when the fever was the worst, and when I never had been sick before, it was pretty bad, but as soon as I could breathe all right, there was no pain to speak of, and every one was so good to me.

Then there are Leon Rabinovich, editor of Ha-Meliz, David Yellin, Lerner, A. Kahana, and others. The history of modern literature has found a worthy representative in the person of Reuben Brainin, a master of style, himself the author of popular tales. His remarkable studies of Mapu, Smolenskin, and other writers, are conceived and executed according to the approved methods of modern critics.
