The latter pointed to the paper with
an old time gesture of command, and
Sophia, adjusting her spectacles,
sought the wrong page with agitated

and presently a nervous cluck aud the
dull reddening of her cheek announced
that she hud found the Item. In her

The Island of Hongkong.
I ’a lia C ity . O regoff
Hongkong is an island about eleven
miles long, with a width of from one
to three miles, and consists almost en
tirely of a series of hills. There is a
good road around a portion of the fa-
land on the sea front, but the grades
up the mountains are too steep for
practical automoblltng. and the streets
generally are not wide enough and not
strongly enough constructed to permit
the use of heavy cars upon them.
