But reserve your copy by clipping the coupon NOW-TODAY. The Oldest Man in the World Just part of a skull, two molar teeth and a thigh bone! Pieced together they made-what? One of the most perplexing mysteries in the study of human history. Were these the remains of an ape-like man who lived 500,000 years ago? Scientists believe that they were; they call him the "Dawn Man," and out of the record embedded in the rocks they have reconstructed the conditions of his life. How he killed his food and tore the raw flesh from the bones; how he married and fought and died! How little by little he clawed and clubbed his way up to mastery over the beasts. It is a fascinating, gripping story, but it is only one of a thousand stories that stir your blood in this greatest book of modern times. Imagine a book that begins 10,000,000 or 100,000,000 years ago; imagine being carried down through e ages from one dramatic scene to another-as if you sat in a motion picture theatre and saw the whole rama of the human race displayed on the screen before you-imagine the thrill of such an experience and ou have some conception of H.

THE OUTLOOK COMPANY (Continued from page 532) Arnold of "Rugby Chapel," he wanted to carry others with him to any heights that he might scale. His art was "too great for haste, too high for rivalry." Not long afterwards he was living in a particularly sordid stall on the fifth floor of a dreary house on West Twentythird Street. I don't suppose Charles Lamb loved the tidal fullness of life along the Strand or O. Henry the uproar of the "Four Million" any better than Robinson loved the ferry-seeking traffic before his door or the clack and clangor of the elevated trestles, in whose shadow, round the corner, he ate his frugal meals. In the crowd he found his freedom and his solitudes, and in the noise his silence. But the first time I called on him in his dingy and depressing eyrie the room I was blue with the smoke of five bohemians, sitting three on the edge of the bed, one on the only chair, and the other on the window-sill. They talked "wild and whirling words" about the manufacture of poetry, and Robinson, who knew more than all of them about it, only listened. Besides the over-populated bed and the attenuated and precarious chair the furniture was a bureau with no mirror and a wash-stand with a waterpitcher, cracked. I did not stay long. The room, awful as it was, was better than the company that had come to call, unasked, on Robinson. About that time Robinson was checking off loads of stone as carts delivered them at one of the gaping craters of the new subway. Masefield, I presume, at that time was tending bar upon Sixth Avenue, not far away. Poetry from Yonkers was looking up distinctly. It had moved to the metropolis. In 1905 I paid a visit to Richard Watson Gilder at Four Brooks Farm, Tyringham, and after he had inquired for "your friend with the fine eyes, Robert Haven Schauffler," and grumbled at Kipling for having the nerve to ask the "Century" $1,000 for a single storywhich the "Century" refused to paythe talk was pivoted on Robinson. "I had lunch a while ago with Roosevelt at the White House," said Mr. Gilder. "Right in the middle of the meal Mr. Roosevelt pointed a minatory forefinger across the table and shot this at me: 'What shall we do with Robin. son?' Of course I knew instantly which Robinson he meant. He had 'discovered' Robinson in that article for The Outlook written a little while before, which was the beginning of Robinson's larger public vogue. "After lunch we got together and discussed the poet's fate. One possibility after another was put forward and rejected. Finally we decided on a consul. ship in Mexico as the very thing for him. "But when the offer was made to him, do you suppose he accepted? Not much! He couldn't make up his mind to tear himself away from New York." Not long after that a berth was found for him in the New York Custom House The stipend, modest as it was, mus! have seemed a fortune to the poet. The days of the sharpest intensity of strug gle were behind him. But it is not on servable that comparative prosperity and success has swelled or turned a head that over the road dust and the din has always held commerce with the stars. TELL you, the railways are robbers," were the words that greeted me as I entered the smoking compartment of a chair car while traveling on one of the small railways in Ohio. The speaker continued his argument in a loud tone of voice, apparently addressing the man seated next to him, but in reality speaking for the benefit of all present, so that they would realize that here was one man who knew just what was going on and wasn't afraid to say so. "Why, look here at this little jerkwater road we are riding on now; no service, no accommodations for the traveling public, yet look what they are getting away with. Raised the fare forty per cent not long ago, so that the common people can't afford to travel, and then they turn right round and cut the wages of their employees fifty per cent on top of that. Isn't that plain robbery -forty per cent increase in passenger rates and fifty per cent reduction in wages? That makes ninety per cent, the way I figure. It's a big graft, I tell you, and we as the public ought to see that something is done about it. I wouldn't kick so much on the raise in fare if they hadn't cut the wages. Why, some of the men don't make enough to live on since this last cut." "That's right," "You've got the dope," "Bunch of grafters," came the various responses from over the car, showing conclusively the way sentiment stood in this car on the increase in passenger rates. "I beg your pardon," a low voice interrupted the first speaker as he was about to pour out another tirade against the money-grabbing railways, "the increase in passenger rates was only 20 per cent." I smiled to myself as this thrust went home, causing the face of the smokingroom orator to redden in embarrassment. "I don't see how you figure. Why, I paid-" Again the flight was spoiled by the words: "Figure it yourself. The rate was 3 cents per mile, and you now pay 3.6 cents for each mile traveled, plus 8 per cent war tax." "Well, it's too high," Solomon said, sharply, emphasizing the point by pounding the arm of his chair. "It's so high the common workingman can't afford to ride in a train any more." "Especially on chair cars," was the quiet response. I smiled again, because I had noticed 2 hat the chair car on the train was rowded, while the coaches were not half lled. And this I knew was prevalent l over the country. "Well, they had no business to cut ages in two, taking the bread-" "The average increase of wages on ilways since 1915 was 130 per cent, e reduction but 20 per cent." This answer again checked Solomon's oquence, causing him to rise from his air and angrily address his opponent. "You can't fool me with figures. Why, tell you, the stockholders of this railay and all the others will be rolling in ealth if this keeps up for a year." I saw the defender of the railways rn to his paper and slowly read: "Two indred shares W. & L. E. Ry. common ock, sold yesterday at $8.75 a share.' hy not buy it and 'roll your own'?" This reply brought a smile to all our ces, as the stock quoted was the same the road we were riding on, and sellg at 8 cents on the dollar. "Well, anyway, the fare is too high, e highest in the world," continued the ecker of railways, "and here they are tting wages." "Sorry to dispute your word," was the swer, "but passenger fares in the ited States are the lowest in the orld, accommodations to the traveling blic are the best, and wages paid emoyees the highest." "I say, that's going it too strong," me from another man; "that couldn't ssibly be since this last increase." "Get your pencils, and I'll give you me comparative figures on world tvel before I get off at the next stop. ptis chair car if on a railway in Europe uld be a luxury that only the rich ild indulge in. The fares on European ilways are paid by people whose daily comes or wages do not average oneirth of our incomes or wages." Here is è table he read us from his notebook: Net, $2.00, postpaid.
