10 THE VtQNOBRFUL ADfiirut1E3 phra' phoenician OWN LESTER ARaoLO (Continued) All these things In time appeared distinct enough to me, and tempted a trial of whether my physical condition equaled the apparent soundness of my senses. I had hardly had leisure as yet to wonder how I had come Into this strange' position, or to remember so strong were the demands of surrounding circumstances on my attention the last remote pages of my adventure remote, I now began to entertain a certain consciousness, they were I was so fully taken up with the matter of the moment, that It never occurred to me to speculate beyond, but the pressing question was In what sort of a body were those sparks of sight and sense burning. It was pretty clear was in a ohurch, and a greater one than I had ever entered before. My position, I could tell, spoke of funeral rites, or rather the stiff comfort of one of those effigies with which sculptors have from the earliest time decorated tombs. And yet I was not entombed, nor did I think I was marble, or even the plaster of more frugal monumenters.

My eyes served little purpose In the deepening light, while as yet I had not moved a muscle. As I thought and speculated, the dreadful fancy came across me that. If I were not stone, possibly I was the other extreme a thin tissue of dry dust held together by the leniency of long silence and repose, and perhapsdreadful consideration! the sensations of life and pleasure now felt were threading those thin wasted tissues, as I have seen the. red sparks reluctantly wander in the black folds of a charred scroll, and finally drop out one by one for pure lack of fuel. Was I such a scroll? The idea was not to be borne, and, pitting my will against the stiffness of I knew not what Interval, I slowly lifted my right arm and held it forth at length My chief sentiment at the moment was wonderment at the limb thus held out in the dim cathedral twilight.

my next was a glow of triumph at this achievement, and then, as something of the stress of my will was taken off and the arm flew back with a jerk to its exact place by my side, a a flood of pain rushed into it, and with the pain came slowly, first a remembrance of my previous sleeps and those other awakenings of mine attended by just such thrills. I will not weary you with repetl tions or recount the throes that I en dured in attaining flexibility. I have, by Heaven's mercy, a determination within me of which no one is fit to speak but he who knows the extent and number of its conquests. A dozen times, so keen were these griefs, I was tempted to relinquish the struggle, and as many times I triumphed, the unquenched fire of my mind but burning the brighter for each opposition. At last, when the painted shadows had crept up the opposite wall inch by inch and lost themselves in the upper colonnades, and the gloom abound me had deepened into blackness, I was victorious, and weak, and faint, and tingling; but respirited and supple, I lay back and slept like a eruld.

The rest did me good. When I opened my eyes again it was with no special surprise (for the capacity of wonder is very volatile) that I saw the chancel where I lay had been lighted up, and that a portly Abbot was standing near, clad in brown fustian, corded round his ample middle, and picking his teeth with a little splinter of wood as he paced up and down muttering to himself, something, of which I only caught such occasional fragments as "fat capons." "spoiled roasts" (with a sniff in the direction of the side door of the abbey), and a malison on "unseemly hours" (with a glance at an empty confessional near me), until he presently halted opposite whereon Immediately shut my eyes and regarded me with dull comDlacenev. As he did so an acolyte, a pale, grave recluse on whose face vigils and abnegation had already set the line of age, stepped out from the shadow, and, standing just behind his superior, also gazed upon me with silent attention. "That blessed saint, Ambrose," said the fat Abbot, pointing at me with his toothpick, apparently for want of something better to speak about, "is nearly as good to us as the miraculous cruse was to the woman of SareDta: what his holy foundation would do just now, when all men's minds are turned to war, without the pence we draw from pilgrims who come to kneel to him, I cannot think!" "Indeed, sir." said the sad eyed "the good influence of that holy man youth, knows no limit: it is as strong in death as no doubt it was in life. 'Twas only this morning that by leave of our Prior I brought ut the great missals, and there found something, but not much, that concerned him." "Recite it, brother." ouoth the Abbot with a yawn, "and if you know anything of him beyond the pilgrim pence he draws, you know more than I do." "Nay, my Lord, 'tis but little I learned.

All the entries save the first in our journals are of slight value, for they but record from year to year how this sum and that were spent in due keeping and care of the sleeping wonder, and how many pilgrims visited this shrine, and by how much Mother Church benefited by their dutiful generosity." "And the first entry? What said it?" "All too briefly, sir, it recorded In a faded passage that when the saintly Baldwin may God assoil him!" quoth the friar, crossing himself "when Baldwin, the first Norman Bishop in your Holiness's place, came here, he found vnn martvr laiH run a mean and paltry shelf among his brother's cells. AH were gone who could tell his. life and history, but your predecessor, says the scroll, judging by the outward marvel of his suspended life, was certain of that wondrous body's holy beatitude, and, reflecting much, bad him meetly robed and washed and placed him here. 'Twas a good deed," sighed the studious boy. "Ah! and it has told to the advantage of the monastery," responded his senior, and he came close up and bent low over me, so that I heard him mutter, "Strange old relic! I wonder how it feels to go so long as that if, indeed, he lives without food.

It was a clever thought of my predecessor to convert the old mum my bundle of swaddles into a man saint! Raid win was almost too Kooa a nin for the oniisuTs: with so much shrewdness, he should have been a courier! 'Oh!" I thought, "that is the way I came here, is it, my fat friend?" and I lay as still as any of my comrade monuments while the old Abbot bent over me, chuckling to himself a bibulous chuckle, and pressing his short thick thumb into my sides as though he was sampling a plump pigeon or a gosling at a village fair. fell upon one knee. "Pax vobiscum, my son!" murmured the Abbot, extending his hands in blessing. "Et vobis," answered the gallant, 'da mlhi, domine reverendissime, misericordlam vestram!" And at the sound of their voices I raised me to my elbow, for the young warlike Earl, as he bent him there, was sheathed and armed in a way that though familiar with many camps, had never seen before. Over his fine gold hauberk was a wondrous tabard, a magnifiecent emblazon surtout and, as he knelt light of the waxen altar tapers twinkled upon his steel vestments, they touched his yellow curls and sparkled upon the jeweled links of the chain he had about his neck; they gleamed from breast plate and from belt; they illuminated the thick sown pearls and sapphires of his sword hilt, and glanced back in subdued radiance, as befitted that holy place, from gauntlets and gorget, from war like furniture and lordly gems, down to the great rowels of the golden spurs that decked his knightly heels.

The acolyte had shrunk into the shadows, and the Earl had had his blessing, when the Abhot drew him into the recess where I lay in the moon beams, that he might speak to him the more privately that Churchman little guessing what a good listener the stern, cold saint, so trim and prone upon his marble shrine, could be! "Ah, noble Codrington," quoth the monk, truly we win to the confes sionai at once, since thou art in so much haste, and thou shalt certainly travel the lighter for leaving thy load of transgressions to the holy for giveness of Mother Church; but first. tell me true, dost thou really sail for France to night? "Holy father, at this very moment our vessels are waiting to be gone, and all my good companions chafe and vex them for this my absence! "What! and dost thou start for hos tile shores and bloody fueds with half thy tithes and tolls unpaid to us Noble Earl, wert thou to meet any mischance yonder which Heaven prevent! and! didst thou stand ill with our exchequer in this particular, there were no hope for thee! I tell thee thou wert as surely damned if thou diedst owing this holy foundation aught of the poor contributions it asks of those to whom it ministers as if thy life were one long count of wickedness! I will not listen I will not shrive thee until thou hast comported thyself duly in this most Important particular!" "Good father, thy warmth Is un necessary, replied the Earl. "My worldly matters are set straight, and my steward has orders to pay thee in full all that may be owing between us; 'twas spiritual settlement I came to seek." "Oh!" quoth his Reverence, In an altered tone. "Then thou art free at once 10 iouow tne promptings or my noDie instinct, ana serve tny lung i and country as thou llstest. I fear to." "Tis like to be," said the soldier, brightening up and speaking out boldly on a subject he loved, his fine eyes flashing with martial fire "already the yellow sun of Picardy flaunts on Edward's royal lilies!" "Ah," put In the monk, "and no doubt ripens many a butt of noble malmsey i (To be continued.) Mutton Ball.

"By the forty saints that Augustine sent to this benighted island, he takes his fasting wonderfully well! He is firm in gammon and brisket and, by that saintly band, he has even a touch of color in his cheeks, unless these flickering lights play my eyes a trick, whereupon his Reverence regarded me with lively admiration, little wit ting it was more than a breathless marvel, a senseless body, he was thus addressing. In a moment he turned again: Thou didst not tell me the date of this old fellow's Heaven forgive me of this blessed martyr's sleep. How long ago said the chronicles since this wondrous trance began?" "My Lord, I computed the matter, and here, by that veracious, unquestionable record, he has lain three hundred years and more!" At this extraordinary statement the portly Abbot whistled as though he were on a country green, and so startling so Incredulous and it, involuntarily turned my head toward them and gathered my breath to cast back that audacious lie. But neither movement nor sign was seen, for at that very moment the quiet novice laid a finger upon the monk's full sleeve and whispered hurriedly, "Father! the Earl the Earl!" and both looked down tne chancel.

At the bottom the door swung open giving a brief sight of the pale blue evening beyond, and there entered a tall and martial figure who advanced in warlike harness to the altar steps, and, placing down the helm decked with plumes that danced black and visionary in the dim cresset light, he HER are plenty of i noes not a sailing boat in sight, be linine drivers of cause economy of space was a vital femlnlnn drivers or i motor cars but I consideration. There were yachts pro have just seen the first driver of a motor boat that has appeared In my vicinity. She is 17 years old and sturdy enough to take care of herself anywhere, and she handles her eighteen foot launch with considerable skill. There is no reason why girls should not manage this kind of craft as. well as sailing boats, unless it is the feminine aversion to soiled hands or clothing, and possibly both may be evaded.

A boat engine Is much dirtier than an automobile engine it is uncovered and must be more than ordinarily greasy to resist the effect of dampness, particularly on salt water. Then there is bilge water to add to the nastlness, and one must wear old clothes and gloves or take the consequences. Yet there must be a fascination to offset such drawbacks, or men would not be so deeply interested in motor boats. Their superiority over craft dependent upon wind cannot be doubted, although the charm of sailing is wholly lacking in them. I attended a launching recently, vis ited the stocks in the solid comfort of motor boat where the unexpected delay did not matter.

A fiber is got from the tree which is spun and woven into cloth. Its timber, though soft when cut, toughens with age and becomes almost as hdrd as stone. The oil is used for all purposes for which we employ kerosene, mut its soot when the combustion of the oil is not perfect produces the well known Chinese ink. The wood oil also, when combined with clay and sand, yields a concrete stone almost as strong as granite. The tree and its nuts are put to countless uses.

A cranky engine in boat or ear is often beyond the strength of a woman, and the few who sail boats have male help in the background in the form of an experienced skipper, They could do quite as much with a motor boat If women like the water there is no better way of taking a holiday than by chartering a well equipped boat and take life as it comes. Such an excur slon requires a meager wardrobe but plenty of good, plain food and somebody to do tl.e necessary cooking. The expenses would be no more than that of a modified camping trip and the benefit to body and rain can hardly be over estimated. Next to that is the camping trip like one I one made fourteen girls with two chaperons, domiciled In two rough cottages set on a bluff with the dancing water in front and pine woods at the back. Four blessed weeks we remained there, di viding the housework so that nobody was overburdened, and living upon the products of a neighboring farm, with donations in the shape of meat, bread and cake from home.

I do not re member the actual cost of the holiday but it was modest, I am sure. Large Displays of Separate Velvet Waists ETROPOLITAN stores are already making fair displays of velvet waists in suit colorings trlnjmed with bright touches of color, says the Dry Goods Economist. White corduroy blouses are also attracting the interest of the retail trade, judging from the numbers which are included in the window and department displays now being shown. These waists are shown to a considerable extent In tailored styles, as well as the outing design showing the Russian Influence, the latter being finished oft at the waist with a broad patent leather belt and having a waist extension ending well over the hips. Black trimmings are often used on these white waists, the collars, buttons, cuffs and belt usually being made of various black materials.

Some dealers will even go so far as to tell you they have something better. That dealer has an axe to grind. You can't stop his grinding, but you can prevent him grinding it at your expen'se. There Is one sure, swift way to do it. Go where you can get what you ask for.

You won't be obliged to do this very often, as, fortunately, the majority of druggists are honest and conscien tious. Newbro's Herpicide has been so long and favorably known ae the original dandruff germ destroyer that no one should be deceived. When you need a hair remedy, you don't want one which merely promises to kill the dandruff germ and prevent the hair from falling. You want one that will do it. Herpicide does it.

The hair becomes soft and lustrous. There is life, snap and beauty where formerly the hair was dead, dull and brittle. Newbro's Herpicide is sold and guaranteed by all druggists. Applications of this wonderful prophylactic may be obtained at the best barber shops and hair dressing parlors. Send ten cents in postage or silver to The Herpicide Dept.
