Rh The thought that he might, and in all probability would die that very night, had occurred to him when he had sat down behind the sledge. Although still warm from the tea he had drunk, and from moving about so much among the snow-drifts, he knew that this warmth would not last long, and that he would not be able to warm himself any more by mere locomotion, for he felt himself growing very weary; he felt himself in the condition a horse feels himself to be when he stops short, and has to be fed in order that he may go on working. Moreover, one of his feet in its bursted foot was frost-bitten, and his big toe had lost all sense of feeling. And his whole body was growing colder and colder.

The thought that he would die that very night did not strike him as particularly unpleasant or as particularly dreadful. The thought of it did not strike him as particularly unpleasant, because his whole life had never been a perpetual feast; on the contrary it had been an interminable servitude of which he was beginning to weary. The thought of death was not particularly terrible, because he felt himself dependent not only upon those masters, like Vasily Andreich, whom he had served here below, but also upon that Chief Master who had sent him into this life, and he knew that even when he died he would still be in the power of that Master, and that that Master would do him no harm.

Tis a pity to chuck away as useless what one has lived into and got accustomed to; but how can it be helped?—one must get accustomed to a new state of things, that's all." 61

 Wait, honorable and valiant Sir!”

“Bring a watering can, if you love me,” called the Scarecrow over his shoulder, and Happy, snatching from frightened gardener, dashed after his Master.

“If things get too hot, I'd like to know that you can put me out,” said the Scarecrow, his voice quivering with emotion. “You shall rewarded for this, my brave Tappy."

Happy did not answer, for his teeth were chattering so he could not speak. 131

 tific experiment? Can you?" His black gaze made Northwood uncomfortable. "Buck up, young friend, for now I am going to show you a marvelous improvement on Nature's bungling ways—the Leyden jar mother." He raised his voice and called, "Lilith!"

The woman whom they had met on the field came forward.

"May we take a peep at Lona's twins?" asked the scientist. "They are about ready to go to the growing dome, are they not?"

"In five more minutes," said the woman. "Come see."

HE lifted one of the black velvet curtains that lined an entire side of the laboratory and thereby disclosed a globular jar of glass and metal, connected by wires, to a dynamo. Above the jar was a Life Ray projector. Lilith slid aside a metal portion of the jar, disclosing through the glass underneath the squirming, kicking body of a baby, resting on a bed of soft, spongy substance, to which it was connected by the navel cord.

"The Leyden jar mother," said Dr. Mundson. "It is the dream of us scientists realized. The human mother's body does nothing but nourish and protect her unborn child, a job which science can do better. And so, in New Eden, we take the young embryo and place it in the Leyden jar mother, where the Life Ray, electricity, and chemical food shortens the period of gestation to a few days."

At that moment a bell under the Leyden jar began to ring. Dr. Mundson uncovered the jar and lifted out the child, a beautiful, perfectly formed boy, who began to cry lustily.

"Here is one baby who'll never be kissed," he said. "He'll be nourished chemically, and, at the end of the week, will no longer be a baby. If you are patient, you can actually see the processes of development taking place under the Life Ray, for babies develop very fast."

Northwood buried his face in his hands. "Lord! This is awful. No childhood; no mother to mould his mind! No parents to watch over him, to give him their tender care!"

"Awful, fiddlesticks! Come see how children get their education, how they learn to use their hands and feet so they need not pass through the awkwardness of childhood."

E led Northwood to a magnificent building whose facade of white marble was as simply beautiful as a Greek temple. The side walls, built almost entirely of glass, permitted the synthetic sunshine to sweep from end to end. They first entered a library, where youths and young girls poured over books of all kinds. Their manner of reading mystified Northwood. With a single sweep of the eye, they seemed to devour a page, and then turned to the next. He stepped closer to peer over the shoulder of a beautiful girl. She was reading "Euclid's Elements of Geometry," in Latin, and she turned the pages as swiftly as the other girl occupying her table, who was devouring "Paradise Lost."

Dr. Mundson whispered to him: "If you do not believe that Ruth here is getting her Euclid, which she probably never saw before today, examine her from the book; that is, if you are a good enough Latin scholar."

Ruth stopped her reading to talk to him, and, in a few minutes, had completely dumbfounded him with her pedantic replies, which fell from lips as luscious and unformed as an infant's.

"Now," said Dr. Mundson, "test Rachael on her Milton. As far as she has read, she should not misquote a line, and her comments will probably prove, her scholarly appreciation of Milton."

Word for word, Rachael was able to give him "Paradise Lost" from memory, except the last four pages, which she had not read. Then, taking the book from him, she swept her eyes over these pages, returned the book to him, and quoted copiously and correctly.

 all particulars dark; but mad or not, nothing shall stop me-or choke me off!" declared Mallender with vehement sincerity.

"All right, all right, meanwhile we will give out that you are interested in coffee in Mysore, or gold mines- yes, that is best-it's more vague," added Colonel Tall- boys, with a grin. 'And now, the first thing to do is to find you a first-class boy."

"Boy?"

"A servant–a full-grown man; anything up to eighty years of age is a boy here. I know of one, Anthony, he speaks Telagu, Canarese, Tamil, English, and at a pinch French! He will cook for you, valet you, wait on you, and generally run you, and do for you-he is just out of a place-his master went home last mail."

"But I only want a smart, honest chap that can rough it a bit," protested the new-comer.

"Oh, Anthony has often been in camp, and on shooting trips; he is a capital servant. My bearer will get hold of him at once, and now I'll 'phone for the car, and take you to the Club for tiffin-there you shall taste for the first time in your life the real, true, and only prawn curry."

a quick, assured step Colonel Tallboys led the way along matted corridors, past salaaming peons, to a fine Napier car, in which he and his guest seated themselves; and escorted by a roaring wind, and clouds of thick red dust, thundered through the Wallajah gate, and sped past the Island towards the hub of Madras —its far-famed Club.

"We are rather full just now, with a crowd down from Bangalore, and one or two of Fan's English friends; Sir William Bream, a distant cousin, and Mrs. Villars, a smart lady, doing India," explained Colonel Tallboys; "you won't mind if we stick you in a tent for a day or two, will you?"

 They were for the most part highly polished, and did not exceed two-twelfths of an inch in diameter.

"The number of oat-seeds in the crop of the second amounted to 1,000 and odds, and the barley-seeds in that of the other female were 510. Now, supposing there may be five thousand wild pigeons in Shetland, or in Fetlar, which feed on grain for six months every year, and fill their crops once a day, half of them with barley, and half with oats, the number of seeds picked up by them would be 229,500,000 grains of barley, and 450,000,000 grains of oats;—a quantity which would gladden many poor families in a season of searcity. I am unable to estimate the number of bushels, and must leave the task to the curious. What is the number of pigeons, wild and tame, in Britain; and how much grain do they pick from the fields and corn-yards? It is probable that were the quantity of seeds of the cereal plants, which all the granivorous birds in the country devour annually, accurately known, it would prove much higher than could be imagined; yet by far the greater part could be of no use to man, were all the birds destroyed, it being irrecoverably dispersed over the fields."

Writing from Iona, Mr. Henry D. Graham states:—

"The Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) is unknown upon our rocky woodless shores, but its absence is compensated for by great numbers of a smaller species—the Rock Dove.

"The granite cliffs on the south of Mull, the basaltic crags of Staffa, and lofty precipices of trap rock upon the adjacent islands, are all perforated by innumerable caverns of every imaginable size and shape; from the well-known majestic hall of Fingal, resounding with the sullen booming of ever-rolling waves, down to the litle fairy grotto, whose cool white shell-sand is scarce dimpled by the sparkling ripples of the sheltered sea. Some of these caves are grand, and of lofty dimensions, with no floor but the deep blue water which heaves to and fro through their huge frowning portals; others are romantic and picturesque, their rocks covered with many-coloured lichens, and their dark apertures fringed with shaggy heather and ivy, amongst which is browsing a wild mountain goat, with huge horns and beard. But many more of these caverns are horribly gloomy and forbidding— deep black dens, extending far beyond the reach of the light of day, stretching into the very bowels of the adamantine cliff: the air smells dank and foul, and the walls are dripping with unwholesome slime. It is dangerous to explore them further without striking a light, as you may meet deep holes and black pools of water; and it is not unlikely but you may see the twinkling eyes of an otter peeping out through the gloom. These caves generally have legends attached to them, such as of fugitive clansmen hiding from the pursuit of the avenger of blood; of wholesale deeds of murder, or of wild scenes of diablerie; and the names of the Cave of Death, the Pit of Slaughter, and the Hobgoblin's Den, are often met with, and human bones actually are often discovered in them.

 this love and capability would be surrounded. Flight in the winter, signifies removal from the Church in consequence of the obscurity of truth induced by indifference and coldness; and flight on the Sabbath-day, denotes removal from the Church, in consequence of the sanctities of religion retaining nothing but their outward forms. To pray against these things, is to make efforts to prevent them. "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be," denotes that the highest degree of perversion to which the principles of the Church can be exposed will then be realized. This perversion is its great affliction, and the profanity of its character being completed, it is described to be such as had never been experienced in the Christian Church; for this is the "world" respecting which the prediction is delivered. "And," therefore, "except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." The shortening of those days, denotes the removal of those perversions, without which it may be evident the means of salvation would be destroyed; but for the elect's sake they shall be shortened; that is, for the sake of those who live well, those evils will be removed. Those who love truth and goodness are called the elect. The means by which those blessings are to be accomplished involves the contemplated coming of the Lord; thereby He will cause discovery to be made that evils and errors have entered into the Church, and, by promoting their expulsion, He will provide for the continued salvation of all who live righteously and well. To such the Lord said, "If any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not," to guard them against the acceptation of what is false. False Christs are false doctrines concerning Him, and false prophets are those who teach them. Of these it is predicted

 that they should show signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect: by signs, are meant the persuasive reasonings by which errors would be defended; and by wonders, the seductive influence they would exercise. To deceive, if it were possible, the elect, signifies that those arts would become so subtle and refined as to render it difficult even for the virtuous to detect and avoid their mischiefs. Hence the Divine exhortation to prudence, ''Behold, I have told you before. If therefore they shall say, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. By the desert, is meant faith in which no wisdom can be discovered; by the secret chambers,'' are denoted those charities in which selfishness abounds; and, because these things are not the faith and charity which the Word inculcates, they are not to be followed or believed. For, as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Thus the perverted Church will regard all the Divine teachings concerning the Lord's second coming merely as a flash of intellectual light, to be instantly dissipated as a thing of nought. The Lord foresaw this fact, and has therefore related it. How many beautiful truths upon this and kindred subjects have been taught to the professors of common Christianity! How frequently have they been accepted as brilliant thoughts for a moment, and then as suddenly rejected! The light, indeed, came from the east, that is, from the Lord and His Word; but in attempting to shine unto the west, that is, in a direction opposite to itself, it became extinguished by the falsehoods which there prevailed. Such is the treatment which the Son of man, at His coming, is to receive from the perverted Church, whensoever it may please Him to accomplish His predictions of that event. This is the cor-

Rh Born in the same year with Cicero, his unsuccessful rival for the consulship, and hating him with the implacable hatred with which a bad, ambitious, and able man hates an opponent who is his superior in ability and popularity as well as character, Catiline seems to have felt, as his revolutionary plot ripened, that between the new consul and himself the fates of Rome must choose. He had gathered round him a band of profligate young nobles, deep in debt like himself, and of needy and unscrupulous adventurers of all classes. He had partisans who were collecting and drilling troops for him in several parts of Italy. The programme was assassination, abolition of debts, confiscation of property: so little of novelty is there in revolutionary principles. The first plan had been to murder the consuls of the year before, and seize the government. It had failed through his own impatience. He now hired assassins against Cicero, choosing the opportunity of the election of the incoming consuls, which always took place some time before their entrance on office. But the plot was discovered, and the election was put off. When it did take place, Cicero appeared in the meeting, wearing somewhat ostentatiously a corslet of bright steel, to show that he knew his danger; and Catiline's partisans found the place of meeting already occupied by a strong force of the younger citizens of the middle class, who had armed themselves for the consul's protection. The election passed off quietly, and Catiline was again rejected. A second time he tried assassination, and it failed—so watchful and well informed was the intended victim.

34 And now Cicero, perhaps, was roused to a consciousness that one or other must fall; for in the unusually determined measures which he took in the suppression of the conspiracy, the mixture of personal alarm with patriotic indignation is very perceptible. By a fortunate chance, the whole plan of the conspirators was betrayed. Rebel camps had been formed not only in Italy, but in Spain and Mauritania: Rome was to be set on fire, the slaves to be armed, criminals let loose, the friends of order to be put out of the way. The consul called a meeting of the senate in the temple of Jupiter Stator, a strong position on the Palatine Hill, and denounced the plot in all its details, naming even the very day fixed for the outbreak. The arch-conspirator had the audacity to be present, and Cicero addressed him personally in the eloquent invective which has come to us as his "First Oration against Catiline." His object was to drive his enemy from the city to the camp of his partisans, and thus to bring matters at once to a crisis for which he now felt himself prepared. This daily state of public insecurity and personal danger had lasted too long, he said:

"Therefore, let these conspirators at once take their side; let them separate themselves from honest citizens, and gather themselves together somewhere else; let them put a wall between us, as I have often said. Let us have them no longer thus plotting the assassination of a consul in his own house, overawing our courts of justice with armed bands, besieging the senate-house with drawn swords, collecting their incendiary stores to burn our city. Let us at last be able to read plainly

Rh in every Roman's face whether he be loyal to his country or no. I may promise you this, gentlemen of the Senate—there shall be no lack of diligence on the part of your consuls; there will be, I trust, no lack of dignity and firmness on your own, of spirit amongst the Roman knights, of unanimity amongst all honest men, but that when Catiline has once gone from us, everything will be not only discovered and brought into the light of day, but also crushed ,—ay, and punished. Under such auspices, I bid you, Catiline, go forth to wage your impious and unhallowed war,—go, to the salvation of the state, to your own overthrow and destruction, to the ruin of all who have joined you in your great wickedness and treason. And thou, great Jupiter, whose worship Romulus founded here coeval with our city;—whom we call truly the 'Stay' of our capital and our empire;—thou wilt protect thine own altars and the temples of thy kindred gods, the walls and roof-trees of our homes, the lives and fortunes of our citizens, from yon man and his accomplices. These enemies of all good men, invaders of their country, plunderers of Italy, linked together in a mutual bond of crime and an alliance of villany, thou wilt surely visit with an everlasting punishment, living and dead!"

Catiline's courage did not fail him. He had been sitting alone—for all the other senators had shrunk away from the bench of which he had taken possession. He rose, and in reply to Cicero, in a forced tone of humility protested his innocence. He tried also another point. Was he,—a man of ancient and noble

 rupted state of the Church which is contemplated as the occasion for the second coming of the Lord; and, therefore, He closed His description by speaking of it as a carcase, as a thing spiritually dead, around which the eagles—the sharp-sighted, the selfish, and those who feed on—corruption—will be gathered together. If, under those circumstances, the Divine Providence did not interfere to arrest the progress of such perversions, the result would be the entire rejection of the Word, and, as a consequence, the denial of all revealed religion. This we believe to have been the state to which religion was reduced a little more than a century ago; and that, therefore, the second coming of the Lord could not be delayed without danger to the existence of Christianity. Every one who knows anything about the history of Christianity at that period, is aware of the infidelity which prevailed in our own country and throughout the European continent. In France, the government declared the Word to be a fraud, Christianity a superstition, and the Sabbath to be abolished. But those results did not spring out of the study of the Word, or of Christianity, considered, in themselves, but out of those perversions which the Church have taught concerning them. But we will again refer to this point. It will be useful to our present purpose to note the beginnings and progressions of those events which had conduced to such disasters.

The early Christians were so called because they worshipped Christ as God. This was the light in which the Apostles regarded Him, and in which they spoke of Him. They knew that He is, for He has all power in heaven and in earth: that He is , for He knew all things : that He is , for He said, Lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

36 family,—to be hastily condemned by his fellow-nobles on the word of this 'foreigner,' as he contemptuously called Cicero—this parvenu from Arpinum? But the appeal failed; his voice was drowned in the cries of 'traitor' which arose on all sides, and with threats and curses, vowing that since he was driven to desperation he would involve all Rome in his ruin, he rushed out of the Senate-house. At dead of night he left the city, and joined the insurgent camp at Fæsulæ.

When the thunders of Cicero's eloquence had driven Catiline from the Senate-house, and forced him to join his fellow-traitors, and so put himself in the position of levying open war against the state, it remained to deal with those influential conspirators who had been detected and seized within the city walls. In three subsequent speeches in the Senate he justified the course he had taken in allowing Catiline to escape, exposed further particulars of the conspiracy, and urged the adoption of strong measures to crush it out within the city. Even now, not all Cicero's eloquence, nor all the efforts of our imagination to realise, as men realised it then, the imminence of the public danger, can reconcile the summary process adopted by the consul with our English notions of calm and deliberate justice. Of the guilt of the men there was no doubt; most of them even admitted it. But there was no formal trial; and a few hours after a vote of death had been passed upon them in a hesitating Senate, Lentulus and Cethegus, two members of that august body, with three of their companions in guilt, were brought from their separate

Rh places of confinement, with some degree of secrecy (as appears from different writers), carried down into the gloomy prison-vaults of the Tullianum, and there quietly strangled, by the sole authority of the consul. Unquestionably they deserved death, if ever political criminals deserved it: the lives and liberties of good citizens were in danger; it was necessary to strike deep and strike swiftly at a conspiracy which extended no man knew how widely, and in which men like Julius Cæsar and Crassus were strongly suspected of being engaged. The consuls had been armed with extra-constitutional powers, conveyed by special resolution of the Senate in the comprehensive formula that they "were to look to it that the state suffered no damage." Still, without going so far as to call this unexampled proceeding, as the German critic Mommsen does, "an act of the most brutal tyranny," it is easy to understand how Mr Forsyth, bringing a calm and dispassionate legal judgment to bear upon the case, finds it impossible to reconcile it with our ideas of dignified and even-handed justice. It was the hasty instinct of self-preservation, the act of a weak government uncertain of its very friends, under the influence of terror—a terror for which, no doubt, there were abundant grounds.

38 of those who were making sure work with the prisoners within, and announced their fate to the assembled crowd below in the single word "Vixerunt" (a euphemism which we can only weakly translate into "They have lived their life"), no doubt he felt that he and the republic held theirs from that moment by a firmer tenure; no doubt very many of those who heard him felt that they could breathe again, now that the grasp of Catiline's assassins was, for the moment at all events, off their throats; and the crowd who followed the consul home were sincere enough when they hailed such a vigorous avenger as the 'Father of his Country.' But none the less it was that which politicians have called worse than a crime—it was a political blunder; and Cicero came to find it so in after years; though—partly from his immense self-appreciation, and partly from an honest determination to stand by his act and deed in all its consequences—he never suffered the shadow of such a confession to appear in his most intimate correspondence. He claimed for himself ever afterwards the sole glory of having saved the state by such prompt and decided action; and in this he was fully borne out by the facts: justifiable or unjustifiable, the act was his; and there were burning hearts at Rome which dared not speak out against the popular consul, but set it down to his sole account against the day of retribution.

For the present, however, all went successfully. The boldness of the consul's measures cowed the disaffected, and confirmed the timid and wavering. His colleague Antonius—himself by no means to be de-

Rh pended on at this crisis, having but lately formed a coalition with Catiline as against Cicero in the election for consuls—had, by judicious management, been got away from Rome to take the command against the rebel army in Etruria. He did not, indeed, engage in the campaign actively in person, having just now a fit of the gout, either real or pretended; but his lieutenant-general was an old soldier who cared chiefly for his duty, and Catiline's band—reckless and desperate men who had gathered to his camp from all motives and from all quarters—were at length brought to bay, and died fighting hard to the last. Scarcely a man of them, except the slaves and robbers who had swelled their ranks, either escaped or was made prisoner. Catiline's body—easily recognised by his remarkable height—was found, still breathing, lying far in advance of his followers, surrounded by the dead bodies of the Roman legionaries—for the loss on the side of the Republic had been very severe. The last that remained to him of the many noble qualities which had marked his earlier years was a desperate personal courage.

For the month that yet remained of his consulship, Cicero was the foremost man in Rome—and, as a consequence, in the whole world. Nobles and commons vied in doing honour to the saviour of the state. Catulus and Cato—men from whose lips words of honour came with a double weight—saluted him publicly by that memorable title of Pater Patriæ; and not only the capital, but most of the provincial towns of Italy, voted him some public testimony of his un-

40 rivalled services. No man had a more profound appreciation of those services than the great orator himself. It is possible that other men have felt quite as vain of their own exploits, and on far less grounds; but surely no man ever paraded his self-complacency like Cicero. His vanity was indeed a thing to marvel at rather than to smile at, because it was the vanity of so able a man. Other great men have been either too really great to entertain the feeling, or have been wise enough to keep it to themselves. But to Cicero it must have been one of the enjoyments of his life. He harped upon his consulship in season and out of season, in his letters, in his judicial pleadings, in his public speeches (and we may be sure in his conversation), until one would think his friends must have hated the subject even more than his enemies. He wrote accounts of it in prose and verse, in Latin and Greek—and, no doubt, only limited them to those languages because they were the only ones he knew. The well-known line which provoked the ridicule of critics like Juvenal and Quintilian, because of the unlucky jingle peculiarly unpleasant to a Roman ear—

expresses the sentiment which—rhyme or no rhyme, reason or no reason—he was continually repeating in some form or other to himself and to every one who would listen.

His consulship closed in glory; but on his very last day of office there was a warning voice raised amidst the triumph, which might have opened his eyes—

Yet is it nothing so strange to me, I confess, that such idle dreams as these should be devised in the times of darkness, to delude the world withal, as that now in the broad daylight Binsfeldius and Suarez, and other Romish merchants, should adventure to bring forth such rotten stuff as this, with hope to gain any credit of antiquity thereby, unto the new-erected staple of Popish Purgatory.

The Dominican Friars, in a certain treatise written by them at Constantinople in the year 1252, assign somewhat a lower beginning unto this error of the Grecians; affirming that they

But that which Andrew saith herein he saith not out of his own head, and therefore is wrongfully charged to be the first inventor of it; but out of the judgment of many godly Fathers that went before him.

Where Peltanus bestoweth such another marginal note upon him, as Gretser his fellow Jesuit did upon Anastasius:

And yet doth Alphonso de Castro acknowledge that

32 error, because as the Apostle St. James saith, he that offendeth not in word is a perfect man."

3. Another particular opinion, which we must sever from the general intention of the Church in her oblations and prayers for the dead, is that which is noted by Theophylact, upon the speech of our Saviour, Luke xii. 5., in which he wished us to observe, that he did not say,

Thus far Theophylact, whom our adversaries do blindly bring in for the countenancing of their use of praying, and offering for the dead; not considering, that the prayers, and oblations, which he would uphold, do reach even unto such as "die in grievous sins," (which the Romanists acknowledge to receive no relief at all, by any thing that they can do,) and are intended for the keeping of souls from being cast into hell, and not for fetching them out when they have been cast into Purgatory; a place that never came within the compass of Theophylact's belief. His testimony will fit a great deal better the prayer of St. Dunstan; who, as the tale goeth, having understood that the soul of King Edwin was to be carried into hell, never gave over praying, until he had gotten him rid of that danger, and transferred him unto the coast of penitent souls; where he well deserved, doubtless, to undergo that penance which Hugh, Bishop of Coventry and Chester, on his death-bed imposed upon himself; even to lie in the dungeon of Purgatory, without bail or mainprise, until the general jail delivery of the last day.

4. Another private conceit, entertained by divers, as well of the elder as of middle times, in their devotion for the dead, was, that an augmentation of glory might thereby be procured for the saints, and either a total deliverance, or a diminution of torments at leastwise, obtained for the wicked.

Yea, in the very latter days, Ivo Carnotensis, writing unto Maud, Queen of England, concerning the prayers that were to be made for the King, her brother's soul, saith, that

Whereupon, Pope Innocent the Third doth bring this for one of the answers wherewith he laboureth to salve the prayers which were used in the Church of Rome, that

So likewise for the mitigation of the pains of them whose souls were doubted to be in torment, this form of prayer was of old used in the same Church, as in Grimoldus' Sacramentary may be seen, and retained in the Roman Missal itself, until in the late Reformation thereof it was removed.

Which prayer whither it tendeth may appear partly by that which Prudentius writeth of the play-days, which he supposeth the souls in hell sometimes do obtain:

partly by the doubtful conceits of God's merciful dealing with the wicked, in the world to come, which are found in others, but es-

5. The like doctrine is delivered by Andrew, Archbishop of Crete, in his sermon of the Life of Man, and of the Dead; and by John Damascen, or whosoever else was author of the book ascribed unto him, concerning them that are departed in the faith; where three notable tales are told of the benefit that even infidels, and idolaters themselves, should receive by such prayers as these. One touching the soul of the Emperor Trajan, delivered from hell by the prayers of Pope Gregory; of the truth whereof lest any man should make question, he affirmeth very roundly that no less than

And, indeed, in the east this fable seemeth first to have arisen, where it obtained such credit that the Grecians to this day do still use this form of prayer:

And, therefore, to them doth Hugo Etherianus thus appeal for justifying the truth of this narration:

He might, if he had pleased, being an Italian himself, have enquired nearer home of the Romans, among whom this feat was reported to have been acted, rather than among the Grecians, who were strangers to the business. But the Romans, as we understand by Johannes Diaconus, in the Life of St. Gregory, found no such matter among their records; and when they had notice given them thereof out of the legends of the Church of England, (for from thence received they the news of this and some other such strange acts, reported to have been done by St. Gregory among themselves,) they were not very hasty to believe it; because they could hardly be persuaded that St. Gregory, who had taught them that

should in his practice be found to be so much different from his judgment.

The second tale toucheth upon the very times of the Apostles, wherein the Apostless Thecla is said to have prayed for Falconilla, (the daughter of Tryphæna, whom St. Paul saluteth, Rom. xvi. 12.)

Or, as Basil, Bishop of Seleucia, doth express it:

The third tale he produceth out of Palladius's historical book written unto Lausus, (although neither in the Greek set out by Meursius and Fronto Ducæus, nor in the three several Latin

 great library to illumine the homes of all the people.” That such a library now stands in Chapel Hill is due in large part to his interest and help. As Chairman of the Trustees Committee on Building and Grounds, he was active in the 1920’s in the movement to secure appropriations by the state for the first unit of the building and again, in the same official capacity, was instrumental in approving plans for the enlargement which doubled its facilities in 1952. He provided an income for the support of the Library as a stipulation in his gift of the Carolina Inn to the University. He was charter member and first president of the Friends of the Library, an organization composed of alumni, faculty, and others interested in development of the Library. In recent years, he has extended the influence of the Library by financing publication of bibliographies.

An important event in the history of the Collection was the purchase of the Stephen B. Weeks Collection of Caroliniana in 1918. The Weeks Collection, comprising ten thousand books, pamphlets, newspapers, maps, and a few manuscripts, was recognized as the most complete body of material relating to the state at that time. Dr. Weeks, Class of 1886, may have received the germ of a collector’s zeal that directed his interest throughout life in meetings of the North Carolina Historical Society of which he was a member. In an enthusiastic account of his library, he traces his progress as a collector, beginning with the scrapbook method which he calls “the destructive stage,” passing through stamps, single issues of newspapers, and coming finally in 1884 to ownership of his first North Carolina book, Moore’s Pioneers of Methodism in Virginia and North Carolina, an important milestone for the state as his plan to build a great North Carolina collection became fixed at that point. Acquisition of this library made the University a center of research on North Carolina and provided much material for regional research as well. Acquired at a time when collecting for the University was being accelerated by appointment of a special librarian for the North Carolina Collection, it became a model for future growth which followed its emphasis on ephemeral material of the present as well as the relics of the past. Pamphlets, bulletins, short-lived periodicals, newspapers, maps, state and federal documents, and books by local authors of little renown require the protection of an institutional library, or the care of some devoted bibliophile, from the time of their publication to escape destruction. A collection built on this plan approaches a complete depository of all local printing and provides a body of material on present conditions as well as a reservoir for historical research when the present

STORY I.] THE SUFP'S BEAST. 67 Evil influence of covetousness (p. 112).

Would you have eyes and ears of reason clear,

Tear off the obstructing veil of greed!

The blind imitation of that Sufi proceeded from greed:

Greed closed his mind to the pure light.

Yea, 'twas greed that led astray that Sufi,

And brought him to loss of property and ruin.

Greed of victuals, greed of that ecstatic singing

Hindered his wits from grasping the truth.

If greed stained the face of a mirror,

That mirror would be as deceitful as we men are.¹

If a pair of scales were greedy of riches,

Would they tell truly the weight of anything?

The Prophet saith, "O people, through singleness of mind,

I ask of you no recompense for my prophesying;*

I am a guide; God buyeth my guidance for you,

God giveth you my guidance in both worlds.

True, a guide deserves his wages;

Wages are due to him for directing you aright.

But what are my wages? The vision of The Friend.

Abu Bakr indeed offered me forty thousand pieces of gold,

But his forty thousand pieces were no wages for me,³

How could I take brass beads for pearls of Aden?"

I will tell you a tale; hearken attentively,

That you may know how greed closes up the ears.

Every man subject to greed is a miser.

Can eyes of hearts clouded with greed see clearly?

The illusion of rank and riches blinds his sight,

Like hair dropping down before his eyes. 1 The Turkish commentator trans- lates thus. The Imcknow copy reads Ba sati for Ma sti. 2 Koran xi. 53. 3 Abu Bakr made over all his goods to the Prophet in aid of the expedition to Syria,

 rang out upon the picket-line—a lonelier and louder, though more distant, shot than ever had been heard by mortal ear! It broke the spell of that enchanted man; it slew the silence and the solitude, dispersed the hindering host from Central Asia and released his modern manhood. With a cry like that of some great bird pouncing upon its prey he sprang forward, hot-hearted for action!

Shot after shot now came from the front. There were shoutings and confusion, hoofbeats and desultory cheers. Away to the rear, in the sleeping camp, were a singing of bugles and grumble of drums. Pushing through the thickets on either side the roads came the Federal pickets, in full retreat, firing backward at random as they ran. A straggling group that had followed back one of the roads, as instructed, suddenly sprang away into the bushes as half a hundred horsemen thundered by them, striking wildly with their sabres as they passed. At headlong speed these mounted madmen shot past the spot where Byring had sat, and vanished round an angle of the road, shouting and firing their pistols. A moment later there was a roar of musketry, followed by dropping shots—they had encountered the reserve-guard in line; and back

 they came in dire confusion, with here and there an empty saddle and many a maddened horse, bullet-stung, snorting and plunging with pain. It was all over—"an affair of out-posts."

The line was reëstablished with fresh men, the roll called, the stragglers were re-formed. The Federal commander with a part of his staff, imperfectly clad, appeared upon the scene, asked a few questions, looked exceedingly wise and retired. After standing at arms for an hour the brigade in camp "swore a prayer or two" and went to bed.

Early the next morning a fatigue-party, commanded by a captain and accompanied by a surgeon, searched the ground for dead and wounded. At the fork of the road, a little to one side, they found two bodies lying close together—that of a Federal officer and that of a Confederate private. The officer had died of a sword-thrust through the heart, but not, apparently, until he had inflicted upon his enemy no fewer than five dreadful wounds. The dead officer lay on his face in a pool of blood, the weapon still in his breast. They turned him on his back and the surgeon removed it.

"Gad!" said the captain—"It is Byring!"

 —adding, with a glance at the other, "They had a tough tussle."

The surgeon was examining the sword. It was that of a line officer of Federal infantry—exactly like the one worn by the captain. It was, in fact, Byring's own. The only other weapon discovered was an undischarged revolver in the dead officer's belt.

The surgeon laid down the sword and approached the other body. It was frightfully gashed and stabbed, but there was no blood. He took hold of the left foot and tried to straighten the leg. In the effort the body was displaced. The dead do not wish to be moved—it protested with a faint, sickening odor. Where it had lain were a few maggots, manifesting an imbecile activity.

The surgeon looked at the captain. The captain looked at the surgeon.
