them. The wealth and strength of

power to make her will prevail, as we
have seen already. Let her exert
that power once more, and until she
does so, do you keep the peace in

A dozen students caught him as
he leapt down ,and swung him to
gerous passion, and they were ripe
for any violence to which he urged
them. If he had failed with the
windmill, at least he was now mas-
ter of the wind.
"To the Paleis!" they shouted,
waving their hands, brandishing
canes, and—here and there -even a
sword. "To the Palais! Down with

place the case before the throng of
citizens already angered by the re-

royal order and dissolve the Estates.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Instantly there was turmoil in the
crowd, most intense about the spot
whence the shot had been fired. The
assailant was one of a considerable their shoulders, where again he Dame

chorus to Le Chapelier, who was bid-

"Come down! Come down at once!

so, they shall not prevent me from
speaking to you, from telling you
what is to be looked for in them."
And presently, when some measure
of order was restored, he, began his
tale. In simple language, now he
tore their hearts with the story of
yesterday's happenings at Gavrillac.

Acclamations broke out unstintedly
now. He had caught them in the
snare of his oratory. And he press-

Within a mile of the village he

She spoke breathlessly, in haste to

this morning in quest of you. They
turned the chateau and the village in-

you were due to return with a horse
hired from the Breton Arme. So they
have taken up their quarters at the
inn to wait for you. I have been here
all afternoon on the lookout to warn
you against walking into that trap."

What is good English? That, truth
to tell, is a question I have been ask-

that my bottles are as flawless as I

which I bottle my books will stand

most mutable of all histories; it is

language in which I write is not a
permanent medium. Time may shat-

The Hourglass.
What the sundial was to the gar-
den, the hourglass was to the parlor
of the home of long ago. Even after
clocks were in general use, the glass
with its shining sand continued in
favor: Sometimes the frame was of
metal, but more often it was of wood,
and devoid of ornament. According
to one old writer, "The sand -glass
should consist of an upper and lower
bulb, united .at the neck by a collar,
and held in by a mount or frame
formed by two disks. The : sand
should be of a reddish variety.
The origin of the hourglass is ob-
scure. It is generally believed to ante.
date the time of St. Jerome, who lived
in the fourth century. Most of the
old prints and paintings of him show
the hourglass.
Old English church records make
frequent mention of ' the hourglass.
In Christ Church, Aldgate, is an ac-
count book with this entry, over the
date of 1564: "Paid for an hour -glass
that hangeth by the pulpit, when the
preacher maketh a sermon, that he
may know how the hour passeth away,
eight shillings."
In a few New England churches
the "meeting -house hourglass" is still
preserved. Eager eyes must have
followed the shifting sand in the old
days of the Raritan sabbaths, for
tradition has it that the glass was
turned three times before the sermon
was completed.
The hourglass survived until the
nineteenth century was well under
way. Few of these old. timekeepers
are to be found, and one must search
long and far for even a fragment.
Fashion has decreed the revival of
the sundial, but there is little pros-
pect of a renaissance of the hour-
glass. In the complex life of the
twentieth century, the sand -glass hal
no part.
Poets that lasting marble seek,
Must carve in Latin or in Greek:
We write in sand; our language
° grows,
And like the tide our work o'erflows.
So far as I know, I am not writing
poetry; nor do I crave for "lasting
marble." The ordinary bottle -glass
of commerce will do for me; that
English we speak with ease and know
at a glance. Of this, .4,,say as Car-

From old Geffrey Whitney's Choice

worthy paraphrase of Ephes. iv., 26:

The projections of the cross -

the rider strips narrow to permit
,the tread to cling to the road,
. giving the greatest non-skid sur-
