740-827] At that time also the small island of Pantellaria, the stepping-stone between Africa and Sicily, was occupied by the Arabs, and Sardinia was plundered. It is needless to recount in detail all these numerous piratical expeditions against the islands of the Mediterranean. They were the terror of the residents on the coast, but very little was in reality attained by them. In any case Sicily must have been well defended. But if Syracuse itself could only purchase the retirement of 'Abd-ar-Raḥmān ibn Ḥabīb by payment of tribute (740), and even if this ruler, after acquiring the sovereignty in Northern Africa, attempted to gain Sicily also, these matters were but incidents which had no influence on the course of history. During the second half of the eighth century Sicily was scarcely troubled at all by its tormentors, for, as we have seen, Northern Africa was almost in a state of anarchy.

It was not until after a more powerful State had been formed by the Aghlabids that the expeditions against Sicily were at once renewed. Not only the Aghlabids but also the Idrīsids and even the Spanish Muslims took part in these piratical raids, each as a rule on their own account but occasionally working conjointly. When the Sicilians had perhaps succeeded in completing a treaty with the Aghlabids and looked forward to a period of rest and peace, then the vessels of the Idrīsids would suddenly appear. A large proportion of these expeditions have another connexion, for the raids are episodes in the long fight between the Franks and the Spanish Umayyads, but in the case of many of these sudden attacks we cannot now determine the State to which the Saracens in question belonged. One expedition in the year 813 is specially well known to us, because it advanced far to the northward and even touched on Nice and Civita Vecchia. In the same year or shortly afterwards Reggio also received a first Saracenic visitation. Corsica in particular was in the midst of the fighting, whilst Sardinia was better able to defend itself; the smaller islands, e.g. the Pontine group and even Ischia (8-12 Aug. 812), were occasionally attacked — in fact, a revival of the Saracen expansion began. But still great successes could not be recorded, for on the one hand various Saracenic fleets were lost at sea through storms, and on the other hand not only the Byzantines but also Charles the Great took energetic steps to secure their lands against the ravages of the Saracens, though they generally confined themselves to acting on the defensive. As for such a thing as paying the Saracens off in their own coin by undertaking a piratical expedition to Northern Africa, that occurred but once, when the African coast between Utica and Carthage was terrorised by a small Frankish fleet under Earl Bonifacius of Tyrrhenia.

There was no really serious advance of the Saracens against European territory, until the year 827. Acting not on their own initiative, but called in to the assistance of a Christian insurrection, the Aghlabids conquered the rich island of Sicily. By this means an outpost of Islām

In the meanwhile the prince had gone a great distance; but the quick ears of the black horse detected the sound of following feet from afar.

‘Dismount,’ he said to the prince; ‘put your ear to the ground, and tell me if you do not hear a sound.’

So the prince dismounted and listened. ‘I seem to hear the earth tremble,’ he said; ‘I think he cannot be very far off.’

One of my sex; no woman's face remember,

Save, from my glass, mine own; nor have I seen

More that I may call men than you, good friend,

And my dear father: how features are abroad,

I am skilless of; but, by my modesty,—

The jewel in my dower,—I would not wish

Any companion in the world but you;

Besides yourself, to like of. But I prattle

Something too wildly and my father's precepts

This wooden slavery than to suffer

My heart fly to your service; there resides,

To make me slave to it; and for your sake

Am I this patient log-man.

‘Why should you wish me harm,’ asked the raven pausing in his flight, ‘when I have done you a service?’

‘What service have you done me?’ said she.

Rh assemblage gathered in Lexington. Henry Clay was a young man of twenty-one at the time, newly come from Virginia, almost unknown, and hitherto unheard. The crowd hustled him into a wagon and told him to tell them the state of affairs. It was a splendid opportunity for a born orator, and he ably improved it. His own opinions and those of the crowd closely coincided. Youth gave boldness to his words if it detracted from his judgment. So, throwing himself without reserve into his subject, he denounced the hated laws with bold invectives, to the eminent satisfaction of his hearers and his own repute. The field wherein this youthful champion first fleshed his blade was too important to be left even to such an one. The two most able members of the bar, George Nicholas and John Breckinridge, came to the front at once. A meeting was held and resolutions were passed of the same general tenor with those which emanated from other counties. But George Nicholas was not content with this. After playing a most important part in the Virginia convention which ratified the Constitution, this able barrister moved to Lexington and early became prominent both in politics and at the bar. He was a brother of John Nicholas, member of Congress from Virginia, who ably combated these very laws and was prominent in securing their repeal. Another brother was Colonel Wilson Carey Nicholas, the intimate friend of Jefferson, senator and governor of Virginia, one of the ablest of the younger generation of Virginia Statesmen; and a third, Judge Philip Narbonne Nicholas,

44 of Richmond, Virginia; while a sister was the wife of Edmund Randolph. Their father was Robert Carter Nicholas, the last Royal and first State Treasurer of Virginia, and a grandson of old Robert Carter, popularly known as "King" Carter, who owned sixty-three thousand acres in the valley of Virginia, and was president of the council, lieutenant-governor, and acting governor of the province in the good old days of the colony. He thus combined the factors needful in the States of Kentucky and Virginia, namely, democratic sentiments combined with great family influence and distinguished descent. It seems a strange mixture, but it was the one that gave the greatest influence. Nicholas had now retired from active politics, but was still in full practice at the bar, and was a professor in the law department of Transylvania University. He used his private influence freely, and published a card entitled The Political Creed of George Nicholas, in the Kentucky Gazette for August 1, 1798. It is as follows:

"In vindication of my right as a free citizen of the United States to, and as an exercise of, the invaluable privilege of speaking and publishing my sentiments of the official conduct of those who have been appointed to administer the government of the United States, and which is in itself so inestimable that the want of it must render all other earthly things of no value: I do solemnly declare that I do verily believe that the majority of the Legislature of the United States who voted for the act entitled 'An act in addition to the act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United

"Ah!" gasped Gell, "how I know every inch of the spot. It was there I traced the great wheel-tracks and your little footprints; there I saw you had made your last stand; and there that I picked up scraps which I knew to be portions of your hat and dress, which I brought home as the last relics of you. By what miracle can you have escaped after all? Go on and tell us. It passes my comprehension."

Aurelia looked much surprised. "So you did come and look for me after all? I always wondered you had gone off without any sign, but supposed the children must have told you I was killed, and you had thought it useless to waste time looking for my remains. But I am glad you did come to look for me—very, very glad."

It was Gell's turn to look surprised and pained as well. "What! have you really thought all this time that I would leave the place without doing all I could to find what had become of you, even had I been sure that I should only find my darling's bones? And thinking this you have yet been willing to love me still? Oh, my love, my love, how could you think this of me?"

134 Gallo-Romans alike. He ruled the former by right of birth, in virtue of having sprung from the family to which this privilege appertained; he ruled the latter, not, as has sometimes been suggested, by a delegated authority conferred upon Clovis by the Emperor Anastasius, but by right of conquest. Before long, too, all distinction between Franks and Gallo-Romans disappeared, and the king ruled all his subjects by hereditary right. The power of the king was almost absolute. He caused the ancient customary law of the barbarian peoples to be formulated or revised, as in the case of the Salic law and the laws of the Ripuarians and the Alemans. He did not of course create law; the customs which regulate the relations of men existed prior to the law and it would be difficult to refuse to recognise them. But the king ordered these customs to be formulated, and gave them, when formulated, a new authority. Further, he amended these laws, abrogating provisions which were contrary to the spirit of Christianity or the advance of civilisation. Alongside of the laws peculiar to each of the races he made edicts applicable to all his subjects without exception. The capitularies begin long before the reign of Charles the Great; we have some which go back to the Merovingian period. The king who makes the law is also the supreme judge. He has his own court of justice, and all other courts derive their authority from him. He can even, in virtue of his absolute power, transgress the ordinary rules of justice and order persons who appear to him to be dangerous to be put to death without trial. Childebert II, for example, once invited one of his great men, named Magnovald, to his palace at Metz under the pretext of shewing him some animal hunted by a pack of hounds, and while he was standing at a window enjoying this spectacle the king had him struck down by one of his men with an axe. Anyone who committed a crime by order of the king was declared immune from penalty. The king made war and peace at will, levied taxes at his pleasure, appointed all functionaries, and confirmed the election of bishops. All the forces of the State were in his hands. All his orders — they were known as banni — must be obeyed; the violation of any of them was punished with the extremely heavy fine of 60 gold solidi. All persons belonging to the king's household were protected by a wergeld three times as great as ordinary persons of the same class.

Against a despotic use of this power neither the great men nor the people possessed any remedy save that of revolt; and such revolts are frequent in the Merovingian period. No small number of these kings perished by the assassin's knife. One day one of his subjects told king Guntram, "We know where the axe is which cut off the heads of thy brothers, and its edge is still keen; ere long it shall cleave thy skull." At Paris, on another occasion, Guntram assembled the people in a church and addressed them thus: "I adjure you, men and women here

"And I do further solemnly declare that I do verily believe, if the President of the United States hath approved the said act, and if any of the judges have by any official transaction endeavored to enforce it, that they have also violated that part of the Constitution."

This was followed up by "a letter to a friend in Virginia," which he caused to be printed and very widely circulated, giving a clear expression to his views. Here the active part taken by Nicholas ceased. An error has crept into many of the ablest histories of the United States, to the effect that he introduced the Resolutions into the Kentucky House of Representatives in November, 1798, but he was not a member of that body, and the error is one of comparatively recent origin.

On the 22d of August, a writer who signed himself Philo-Agis, and who voted against the otherwise unanimous resolutions of Clark County, discussed the situation in a letter to the Kentucky Gazette. He explains that his opposition to the action taken in Clark did not arise out of any friendship for the principles enunciated in the Alien and Sedition laws, but out of a hesitancy to adopt the measures proposed by the Resolutions. He then proceeded to express his opinion of the proper course to be

46 pursued, to this effect: "My plan is this: let the legislature of Kentucky be immediately convened by the governor, let them pass resolutions praying for a repeal of every obnoxious and unconstitutional act of Congress." This plan rapidly grew in popularity in the main. Not, however, in the call of a special session, though that was widely favored at first, but all eyes by common consent were directed towards the autumn session of the legislature as the proper place for action on these laws. Meanwhile, county after county fell into line with its resolutions, all of them closely alike in tone, most of them in form. A common formula was apparently used, and the greatest unanimity was everywhere apparent. Very bitter feeling was engendered in the State as the autumn slipped away, by letters written by over-zealous Federalists in Kentucky to eastern friends, and published by them. Some of these letters were gross misrepresentations, and when they were copied into Kentucky papers the indignation that was stirred up was such that it would have gone hardly with the writers if they had been discovered. Some of the eastern papers also gave garbled accounts of the proceedings which came to them as general news. Thus Peter Porcupine gave the following account of the meeting at Lexington which adopted the Resolutions. It was published on the 21St of September, and is an excellent specimen of its class. It will be noticed that it confuses the Clark and Fayette meetings, designating the former by all the references and locating it at Lexington.

To go on then—as I gave myself up for lost, and cast a last thought on you, Father, and on you, William, and on the poor children whom I was thankful to have been allowed to save, I saw a cleft a few inches wide in the lower part of the giant bole. Tearing off my hat and jacket, I managed to squeeze myself into the hollow interior just as the two creatures came round, and by many snorts and screeches indicated their puzzlement as to what had become of me. My poor hat and jacket were torn to shreds and it must have been scraps of them that you found, and I dare say the stupid brainless things thought they had got hold of me at last.

It must have been a very credulous people who could be at all imposed on by such feeble efforts as constitute the class to which this belonged, but party spirit ran equally strong in both directions. George Nicholas had achieved for himself so honorable a reputation that he v/as big game to these scribblers, and was given that meed of scurility which was at that time the penalty of prominence.

In order that the best results might be reaped from the existing agitation, and that Kentucky Republicanism might make its protest in the most effective manner, it was necessary that some champion should be fixed on to marshal the forces and lead in the assault. Eminently qualified as George Nicholas was for such a task, he was now in the decline of life, out of office, and, perhaps, personally averse to so arduous an undertaking. The desired leader was found in a young and ardent friend of Nicholas, who, after a number of years of separation, had, by his recent removal to Kentucky, reknit and strengthened the old ties, and probably

579-582] government; nevertheless, on this occasion, he did not allow himself to be led away by zeal, or by the irritation which the behaviour of his son must have aroused in him. Hitherto, he had been inconsistent in his treatment of the Catholics. He had frequently persecuted them — for instance, we learn from Isidore of Seville that John of Biclar was in 576 banished to Barcelona for refusing to abjure his religion, and that, for ten years, he was subjected to constant oppression. Again, Leovigild had sometimes flattered the Catholics and complied with their desires. In 579 he adopted a policy of moderation. He sent ambassadors to his son to reduce him to submission, gave orders to his generals to act only on the defensive, and took active measures to prevent the clergy from supporting Hermenegild. The latter did not yield; on the contrary, afraid that his father would take revenge, he sought the assistance of the Byzantines and the Sueves.

Then Leovigild thought of establishing some form of agreement between Catholics and Arians, and convoked a synod, or general meeting of the Arian bishops, at Toledo, in 580. At this synod, it was agreed to modify the form to be used in the adoption of Arianism, substituting reception by the laying on of hands for the second baptism. As John of Biclar says, many Catholics, among whom was Vincent, bishop of Saragossa, accepted the formula and became Arians. Nevertheless, the majority remained faithful to Catholicism. Leovigild attempted to reduce this majority by conversions to Arianism, but when these were not forthcoming, he resorted to persecution. Isidore of Seville in his Historia says that the king banished a number of bishops and nobles, that he slew others, confiscated the property of the churches and of private individuals, deprived the Catholic clergy of their privileges, and only succeeded in converting a few priests and laymen.

Meanwhile Hermenegild had strengthened his party by winning over to his cause important cities such as Mérida and Cáceres. He twice defeated Duke Aion, who had been sent against him, and in commemoration of these victories, he coined medals after the manner of his father.

But this serious struggle did not cause the king to neglect his other military duties. In 580, the Vascons rebelled once more, possibly under the influence of the Catholic insurrection in Baetica. In 581 Leovigild went against them in person, and after much trouble succeeded in occupying a great part of Vasconia, and in taking possession of the city of Egessa (Egea-de-los-Caballeros). To clinch his success, he founded the city of Victoriácus (Vitorià) in a good strategical position. Having thus finished this campaign, Leovigild decided to take energetic action against his rebellious son. To this end, he spent several months of 582 in organising a powerful army, and, as soon as it was assembled, marched against and captured Cáceres and Mérida. Whereupon the troops of Hermenegild retreated as far as the Guadalquivir, taking Seville as their centre of defence.

was sprung from a sturdy Scotch-Irish stock. His ancestry, in the earliest days to which they can be traced, lived in Ayrshire, and are found sharing the sentiments for which their friends and neighbors became famous. They were early converted to Protestantism, and became staunch Calvinists and Covenanters in due course. The wars of the Puritan revolution brought little good to their county or themselves, and between king and commons. Papists and Protestants, Presbyterians and Independents, and a hundred factional bitternesses, they were sorely crushed and harried. But there was even a worse fate in store for them. The seemingly tireless struggle of years wore itself out, and sank to rest beneath the firm hand of Cromwell, and for a brief space there was a lull in the storm, but when Charles the Second, "that young man that was the late king's son," as Cromwell called him, found himself firmly seated on his throne, he woke once more the old issues.

50 a prominent part in the wars of the Covenant, forsook their homes and fled to the Highlands. The Breckinridges found a safe retreat in Breadalbane, and though they only remained there a short time, with grateful hearts they remembered those who had befriended them in adversity, and the name of their highland refuge, commemorated for generations in the names of new seats beyond the sea, still sounds like an echo of home to a Breckinridge's ear. When quiet had once more succeeded to adversity, the hunted refugees crossed over into North Ireland, and, under the rule of William and Anne, regained their former prosperity to a very great degree. It was probably owing to the enforced wanderings of these years, which had bred a spirit of unrest, that in 1728 a new emigration began. There is no complete record of those of this family who came to America. A family tradition is to the effect that three brothers came over together with their families, but although this cannot now be certainly ascertained, it is probable that a number of the family came together. Of these was Alexander Breckinridge, and with him came his wife and a numerous family. He followed the track his countrymen were marking broadly out, westward through Pennsylvania, filling the great central valley, thence trending southward into Virginia, and spreading out in the frontier settlements. He made a brief stay in central Pennsylvania, and then removed to Augusta County, Virginia, and settled upon a tract of land, upon a part of which now stands the town of

And then feeling myself in the way I turned into the garden and smoked a pipe, which I much needed as a

Rh "Of course I will give you any advice or help I can, but are you sure you are coming to the right quarter for that?"

"Yes, surely, to the only quarter. Aurelia, I have held my tongue all this time, but must speak at last. You know what I would say. From the day I met you on board the ship you had brought all alone from America, from the moment I brought you on shore and handed you to your father, I have been a different man. I have thought of you every hour of my existence. I have dreamed of you each night. I have lost interest in my profession, in my studies, in everything else in the world. No man could love you with a deeper love than I do, and I feel I cannot any longer refrain from telling you, so that at least you may know that my life is bound up in yours, and that nothing can break the chain. And now I want to ask you, Is there any hope for me?"

"Mr. Dana," said Aurelia gravely, "is this quite fair? You know how I admire you, nay I will say what affection I feel for you, more than I feel for anyone in the world but my father—and my betrothed husband."

Dana's eye brightened.

"Which will you have? This dark velvet one, or that lovely Marshal Niel?"

"The dark one, please."

"What makes you like that best? Most people think the Marshal beats all the rest."

"Must I say?—Well, because it reminds me most of you."

Aurelia laughed. "So you have come here to pay me pretty compliments? Well, go on, I daresay I can stand them for ten minutes without having my head turned."

"Indeed no," said Dana quickly, "I can pay compliments to other girls, who seem to like and expect them, but with you I feel obliged to speak the simple truth. And now least of all do I mean to pay compliments. I am much too serious for any such trifling. I want to ask your advice on a very important matter."

She looked at him, and saw what would come.

 Yet his enthusiasm for the cause was scarce guided by wisdom. Many stories are preserved of the bitter and unwise words he used in country coteries; how he proposed Washington's health as an amendment to Pitt's, gave as a toast "the last verse of the last chapter of Kings," and celebrated Dumouriez in a doggrel impromptu full of ridicule and hate. Now his sympathies would inspire him with Scots, wha hae; now involve him in a drunken broil with a loyal officer, and consequent apologies and explanations, hard to offer for a man of Burns's stomach. Nor was this the front of his offending. On February 27, 1792, he took part in the capture of an armed smuggler, bought at the subsequent sale four carronades, and despatched them with a letter to the French Assembly. Letter and guns were stopped at Dover by the English officials; there was trouble for Burns with his superiors; he was reminded firmly, however delicately, that, as a paid official, it was his duty to obey and to be silent; and all the blood of this poor, proud, and falling man must have rushed to his head at the humiliation. His letter to Mr. Erskine, subsequently Earl of Mar, testifies, in its turgid, turbulent phrases, to a perfect passion of alarmed self-respect and vanity. He had been muzzled, and muzzled, when all was said, by his paltry salary as an exciseman; alas!

"Why it is Richard Dana," replied she, and hastening out she clasped both his hands and said with a beaming smile, "What Mr. Dana, so you have come to see us at last? Come in and give an account of yourself, and let us know why you never come up here since I came home. Father says you used to be in and out all day before I was here."

"Yes, that is just it" he began.

"Indeed? I am so sorry you find my company so disagreeable. For even to please you I cannot undertake to go back again to America."

Dana looked at her reproachfully. "How can you tease me so? When I do come here my one wish is never to go away—Good morning Sir;" this to me.

Rh Staunton. Augusta was then the frontier county, stretching away with as yet undefined limits, the hazy claims of France and North Carolina being too indefinite to give it any certain boundaries.

Here the father of John Breckinridge, Robert Breckinridge, grew to manhood and succeeded to his father's farm. He became a prominent man in his community, being King's Lieutenant of his county, and Colonel of the county levies. He married first a Miss Pogue, who bore him two sons, Alexander and Robert Breckinridge, and, after her early death, Lettice Preston, the daughter of John and Elizabeth Patton Preston. The Prestons were also from North Ireland, and a family of most marked individuality. The foundation, however, was English, and not Scotch. The family came originally out of Lancashire or the western ridings of Yorkshire, in both of which locations there were strong and kindred stocks of the name; and the extraordinary resemblance preserved to the present day, both to the Yorkshire and Lancashire branches and the American offshoot, seems to show that the Norfolk family of Prestons is a scion from the same stock. Two of these Prestons crossed over into Ireland with the army of King William the Third, and served about Londonderry, where one of them married and made his home. From him John Preston was descended.

John Breckinridge, the second child of this marriage, was born on the second day of December, 1760. His early childhood was passed on the old estate, but while he was still a child his father

"No Sir, it's not exactly business this time. I thought I should like to see how you and—and Gell—were getting on."

"Well it is always a pleasure to see you here, the oftener the better. I shall be busy for ten minutes though; will you excuse me for so long, and take a turn round the garden with Aurelia?"

I saw that he wished to be alone with her, and guessed his errand. They had better have it out together.

"How lovely these roses are looking," said Aurelia, after they had walked some minutes in silence. "I brought them with me from home, and have managed to keep them alive in spite of circumstances. I do love roses."

murmured Dana.

"Whom are you quoting?"

52 farther west and settled near Fincastle, in what is now Botetourt County, where he soon after died in 1771. His elder sons had grown to manhood, but he left a wife and five young children, four of whom were sons, upon the very confines of civilization, and at the beginning of a period of war and deprivation. The Virginia frontier suffered severely throughout the Revolution, being constantly vexed by Tories at home, the inroads of the savages stirred up by British and Tory agents, and the scarcity of all the comforts of life, and it was not till the victory of King's Mountain hurled back the tide of invasion refluent to the sea and quelled the restless Tories in their midst, that any respite came to the harassed population along the western lines. During these years John Breckinridge, although only the second son of his mother, assumed the chief part in bearing the burden of the family. His character was early developed under the pressure of circumstances, and he cared for the family property, scoured the country as a surveyor, and occupied every leisure moment with eager and well-directed studies; and the autumn of 1778 found him prepared to enter college. He accordingly set out over the mountains and through the wilderness to the capital town of Williamsburgh, and entered himself at the good old college of William and Mary. Here he continued for two years, taking every advantage of his opportunities, and continuing his surveying in the western wilds in the vacations. He was about to set out from home for his third year at college when he was elected to

But I would treat you as frankly and openly as a sister should. Trust me as I trust you, and never suffer doubts or suspicion to come between us. I cannot give you my heart, that was lost before I met you, but do not reject what I can give."

At this moment we came out of the house, Gell leaning on my arm, and met the pair walking hand in hand up the garden path. William knew his sweetheart's truth too well to feel as much as a passing shadow of jealousy at what might have proved a trial to many an easy-going lover. "What plots have you two been hatching together?" asked he with a pleasant smile.

"High treason Sir," replied Aurelia, "we propose to blow up the king lords and commons at three o'clock to-morrow afternoon. You may come and help, if you will."

"What's this?" asked I. "In the name of King James I. his crown and dignity, I demand to know."

Rh sions—Aurelia sat down among them and told them her story. In simple language she told them what they already dimly knew—how they had been driven from their homes by an enemy never encountered before; how she had been lost, how Gell had searched for her, and how nearly they had met; how for years she had lived alone with none to speak to, and how at length she had sailed in a great ship over the sea for six months till she had found her father and her lover safe at last. "And now, dear children, comes the happiest part of my whole story, for I am going to marry Mr. Gell on this day week, and I want you all to come to the wedding."

So it was done. In the wide square which formed our market, and in the presence of our whole population, Aurelia was united to her faithful lover amid the acclamations of our little world.

And what became of Dana? He had a second talk with Aurelia, and another with me, the result of which was that after bravely staying through the marriage ceremony he set sail shortly after with two of our ships, his own vessel the Roanoke, and the one which brought home my daughter, which was re-christened the

148 Aurelia, on a grand voyage of discovery. He took with him some thirty of his old crew, and about a hundred of our youngsters, who were anxious to see the world, and set out to discover Europe, as Columbus started to discover America. He was to visit England, Germany, the Mediterranean, and see if in any of these quarters there were relics left of the human race. If he should find Europe deserted he was to proceed to Africa, Asia, Australia,—every part of the globe if he pleased, to find whether the earth was wholly depopulated or no. I set no limit of time or place to his voyage, and did not expect to see him or his crew again at the earliest for some years.

Busy indeed were the preparations for this expedition. Dana showed his excellent power of organizing and admirable tact in the multifarious duties that fell to his lot. At last all was ready, and one beautiful summer's evening we all proceeded to the water's edge to bid farewell to our parting lads. We were sending our best and bravest, as in all time our race has sent them over seas, knowing that some would never return to us again, and that of ourselves who remained at home those who did return would find many

"I doubt whether you would get much out of her even that way," said Dana. And it is of no use asking me, for I don't know what this is all about."

"Traitors both!" cried I. "We give ye till to-morrow to repent and make confession, failing which ye shall be delivered into the hands of justice. Executioner, see that the axe's edge be keen against to-morrow's dawn, for thou'lt have to deal with two false traitors upon Tower Hill, I wis."

"Your Grace shall be obeyed," Gell answered, and we ceased our fooling and parted with Dana at the gate. The next day great preparations were made. At three the company began to arrive, and we found that Aurelia had invited all the young children, and a selection of their parents, to a great party in our garden. Happy they always were, but never more so than when within the influence of my dear girl's smile, which seemed to have a magical power of drying tears and appeasing quarrels.

Rh passed away. But we sent them, and we did rightly; and though on the beach the sobs of the mothers drowned the shouts of the men on the decks of the two noble ships, yet even as the sound of the rising anchor-chain died into silence, there rose alike from beach and deck a mighty cheer which told us that the same stout hearts that bore our forefathers over the Northern sea were to be found among their sons even in this latest day, and that English blood could yet adventure somewhat in the cause of discovery, humanity, and progress.

It is now five years since they set sail, and no sign of them has been given. Some of us think they are wrecked, destroyed, or castaways; while others surmise that they have settled in one of the old countries of Europe and are there raising a new colony. It seems clear that they have found none of the kingdoms of the old world in their former condition, or long ere this some cruiser would have found her way hither to trade or to bring us news of the outer world.

4 books, Tactics and Techniques of the Separate Branches, Volumes I and II, G.S.S., discuss and amplify the organization in detail. The strength, composition, and functional interdependence of the basic units and the association of these units into larger tactical commands are based on experience and the special equipment of the branch. Organization depends on the technique of the particular arm and the method adopted for its imployment in combat. To understand the principles of the organization of a small unit, it is necessary to know the functions of the unit, the powers and limitations of the weapons with which it is armed, and the best means of utilizing this armament in the performance of its functions under probable conditions of combat. This pamplhet treats of the reason for all military organization and the purpose of combining the efforts of tactical and administrative units to secure the battle success of the whole. Such a framework of the authorized and projected military organization of the United States is presented to the reader in order that he may early visualize and grasp the complete picture.

Vol. XLV. THE

ORPHAN'S

NEW - YEAR'S

EVE.

BY FRANK LEE BENEDICT.

SUCH a dreary, dismal New-Year's Eve, endurable only as it made the comfort of home contrast more strongly with the darkness and cold without.

Snow and ice on the pavements- clouds and darkness overhead-a chill wind that struck to the very heart, barbed with flakes of snow which stung like tiny daggers, and gave fierce menace of the sterner winter beyond.

Slowly out of the darkness came the child into the flickering glare of the street lamp. She had just passed a man muffled in thick, warm garments, who had not even heard her broken petition for help, or noticed her desolate appearance a man who all his life had consulted his own ease and selfishness more than the comfort of any human being, and who now, hurrying along under, the influence of numberless bitter feelings, was not likely to think of any other creature's distress.

She came on toward the corner house where the lights streamed through the shutterless windows, and lay broad and full on the deeply tracked snow.

She climbed up the railings and stared in at the window, so benumbed now with the cold that she did not suffer with the acuteness of the previous hour, stared in with a vague idea of comfort connected with the bright lights and the cheerful fire as the glow fell over her hands.

Such a piteous sight, as she stood there, with the angels up in heaven and New-Year's Eve on earth!

The wind was blowing her thin dress and shawl wildly about in the darkness of a back street she had lost the old shoes which partially protected her feet, and now they clung naked upon the iron rails-her head was uncovered, and her long hair streamed over her face as if trying to keep it warm.

The worn, haggard little face, with childhood and happiness frozen out of it; the wild, despairing eyes, with a look so strange for a child's eyes to wear, gazing in at the fire and the lighted room, and yet seeming a whole world away from its luxury and warmth.

She had set her old basket down upon the stones. It was almost empty, and she had not dared to go back to the place she called home; so, after the night came, had wandered about the streets, growing colder and colder, weeping sometimes in a chilled, nerveless way ; at others stamping upon the ground with a passionate bitterness taught by the precocious hardening of her life ; settling at last into a passive misery which was in her face still, as she clung against the frosty iron railings and peered into the lighted room.

The family were gathered in that pleasant apartment. Old Mr. Leyton looking so content with the cares and troubles of a long life left behind, and that peace in his face which is the glory of old age ; young Mr. Walter, and his wife, and the little ones, and quite a crowd of youthful cousins, all spending a quiet, happy evening with grandfather and cousin Mildred.

She alone was wanting-an unseasonable visitor had called cousin Mildred away more than an hour before; and though he had been heard to leave the house, Mildred had not returned to the library.

The room was quite desolate without her. It always was, and, having decided that her absence was not to be borne any longer, a chorus of voices rang through the hall,

"Mildred ! Cousin Mildred ! Are you never coming back?"

The voices reached the little morning room where Mildred had received her visitor, and where she still sat just as he had left her, leaning over the fire, looking absently into the blaze, and thinking of all that lay between her and the innocence of her girlhood -looking back as we do at thirty, when any chance incident or person

 VARIETIES

FOR

THE

MONTH.

BY EMILY II. MAY.

THERE are very many new things, this month, for the winter promises to be quite gay. We give selections of a few of these novelties. The first is a beautiful body with braces in velvet, one of the latest affairs that have come out in Paris: it is said the empress was the first lady for whom one was made; and it would be especially becoming to persons of similar style and complexion. It has the advantage, also, of being easily made. Any lady, with taste and skill, can copy it, without the aid of a mantua-maker. The next is a white cashmere jacket, braided in black. The braiding pattern, given in our embellishment, need not be followed, necessarily. Any other pattern, which may be preferred, or may be ready at hand, would do as well. We are constantly giving new patterns for braiding, in

order that our subscribers may use them for 7 this and similar purposes. On certain styles of figures, this jacket is pre-eminently handsome. Our third illustration is an Italian head-dress ; something entirely new, and very charming. This graceful affair has created quite a sensation in London and Paris, and is being introduced, with the greatest success, in the fashionable circles of Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. It has a picturesque air, as will be seen, which lowy form it is particularly pretty. It has a very few similar articles attain. On a tall, wil- careless, artistic effect on such persons, as if a 74

1. —a. Organization is the act of disposing, arranging, and combining constituent or interdependent parts into an organic and coordinated whole. Military organization comprises the correct and systematic arrangement of the man-power and economic resources of a nation for the accomplishment of a definite purpose. It provides that combination and unity of effort essential to success in war. The character, form, strength, and method of organization are dictated by the military needs of the nation, but, so far as practicable, they are made to conform to the economical, financial, social, and political factors of the country. Thus, these considered together, dictate the formulation of essential national policies, military laws, and departmental regulations. Based on regulations, tables of organization are prepared for all units and branches, both in peace and war. Other regulations prescribe the territorial organization for command and administration and define the method of extending this organization to meet war conditions.

 found entangled in the broker Teadfig edge of the DC3's right. Nothing was found to indicate malfunctioning of either plane prior to the collision.

Several persons who saw the two planes just before they collided testified that both were in straight, level, the airliner heading west and the Boeing heading south. They said they could see the planes distinctly although there was a haze and the sky was they could see the overcast.

Captain Smith, who was piloting from the left seat, stated that after he Leveled off at 2000 feet indicated altitude, to Joliet in anticipation of shortly going on instruments and that his attention was divided equally inside and outside the cockpit. They had just crossed the southwest leg of the Chicago range and were on a heading  of 260°:when the Kirst Officer yelled, "Look out!" The captain said he immediately started a left turn because he felt that any danger would be coming from the First Officer's side on the right. At the same time he caught a glimpse of the other plane at the instant of impact. First Officer Reier stated that been looking at ground objects and that when he first saw the other aircraft it was approaching from his right at a 45° angle at a diving altitude. He said he called out and as the Captain lifted the right wing of the DO3 the other plane passed beneath it and he heard the crash almost simultaneously. Both Smith and Reier stated that the weather was hazy with visibility 2-4, miles variable and that ground objects were plainly visible. Neither would estimate the ceiling although both stated they were beneath it at their altitude of 1300 feet above the ground (2000 feet indicated).

The nearest weather reporting station to the scene of the accident was at the Chicago Municipal Airport; 7 miles northeast. At that station the ceiling was unlimited, high overcast, thin scattered clouds at 1200 feet, visibility 11 1/2 miles and light smoke. It is known that the amount of stratus clouds increased to the southwest and it was overcast at the scene of the accident; thus pilot vision could not have been impaired by the sun. It is estimated from all information available that the ceiling was 1500 to 2000 feet.

The wind was from the cast-southeast which would carry smoke into the area from nearby industrial sections. Stratus clouds were located at the base of a temperature inversion. As smoke would tend to accumulate in the upper portion of the layer below this inversion it is highly probable that horizontal visibility decreases with elevation. Although no accurate estimation of the visibility at 1300 feet can be siren, it must have been considerably less than at ground level.

This accident occurred about 7 miles southwest of the Chicago Municipal Airport, and within the 10-mile approach zone. Civil Air Regulation required that in such an area contact fight be conducted at not less than

The Organized Reserve Units are composed of officers of the Officers' Reserve Corps, enlisted men of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, supplemented by a small cadre of officers and enlisted men of the Regular Army. The projected war establishment consists of twenty-seven divions, six cavalry divions, the required corps, army, General Headquarters Reserve, and harbor defense troops, and the major portion of the communications zone and zone of interior troops. In peace time, Organized Reserve units are maintained as cadres, with a war strength complement of officers and a limited number of noncommissioned officers.

 Investigation and Hearing

The civil Aeronautics Board received notification at 1330 and an investigation was initiated immediately by the Senior Air Safety Investigator in charge of the Board's Chicago Office, in accordance with Section 702 (a) (2) of the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938, as amended.

In connection with the investigation, the Board ordered a Public Hearing which was held at. Chicago, Ilinois, on October 5, 1945. The Chief, Investigation Division, Safety Bureau of the Board, served as Presiding Officer and other members of the Safety Bureau staff participated.

Air Carrier Transcontinental and Wastern Air, Inc., a Delaware corporation with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, hold a certificate of convenience and necessity and an air carrier operating certificate, both issued pursuant to the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 as amended. Both certificates were currently effective and authorized the carrier to transport passengers, mail and express between various points including Chicago and Kansas City.

Flight: Personnel of DC3

Gaptrin L. N. Smith and First Officer G. T. Reier comprised the crew of fight 47. Both were properly certificated for the flight involved.

Airliner

NC 19939, a Douglas DC3, serial No. 4992, was manufactured by Douglas Company and was purchased by TA from the Army on December, 30, 1944. It was powered by two right Cyclone G202A engines equipped with Hamilton Standard propellers. Total time on the aircraft was slightly over 8000 hours and it was currently certificated as airworthy. At the time of departure from Chicago the total, weight was 22,771 lbs., well below that allowable. This load was distributed properly.

“Come with me, child, come with me. This shock will make you ill.”

“Mother, am ill,” answered the poor girl, striving to stand up. “So ill—I think they have broken my heart.”

The duchess bent down and kissed the cold, white forehead. Katharine clung to ber, shivering with a nervous bill.

 litem [or next friend] if it determines the person is or can be otherwise adequately protected.” Id. (citing Roberts v. Ohio Casualty Ins. Co., 256 F.2d 35, 39 (5th Cir. 1958) (“Rule 17(c) does not make the appointment of a guardian ad litem mandatory.”) ). See also Harris v. Mangum, 863 F.3d 1138, 1139 n.2 (9th Cir. 2017) (noting circumstances in which “appointing a guardian ad litem … could hinder the purpose of Rule 17(c),” and thus was not required). For example, “the court may find that the incompetent person’s interests would be adequately protected by the appointment of a lawyer.” Krain v. Smallwood, 880 F.2d 1119, 1121 (9th Cir. 1989) (citing Westcott v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 158 F.2d 20, 22 (4th Cir. 1946) ). Indeed, courts have done just this, and the fact that those courts did not then dismiss the case proves that the lack of a next friend does not destroy an incompetent party’s standing. See, e.g., Westcott, 158 F.2d at 22 (affirming judgment against minor who was represented by an attorney but not a guardian ad litem).

Concluding otherwise would conflict with our precedent. In Cetacean Community, 386 F.3d at 1171, we held that a group of cetaceans could demonstrate Article III standing. There, the cetaceans had no purported “next friend.” Thus, were we to vacate the case we have before us now and remand with instructions to dismiss because of PETA’s failure to establish “next friend” standing, our jurisprudence would permit a case brought “directly” by animals without any allegation that the suit was brought by a “next friend”—as was the case in Cetacean—but would not permit a case brought by an organization as the “next friend” of the animal at issue if the organization failed to meet the relational requirements. That cannot be the law. We thus hold that Naruto’s Article III standing under Cetacean is not dependent on PETA’s sufficiency as a guardian or “next friend,” and we proceed to our Article III standing analysis. This is where we depart from the. First, Judge N.R. Smith seems to posit that we must restrict our inquiry into Article III standing and its effect on jurisdiction to an examination of the validity of the claimed Next Friend status, because that is how the complaint is stated. See (Smith, J., concurring in part). In other words, since Naruto’s only stated basis for jurisdiction is Next Friend status, we can determine whether we have jurisdiction by examining only the validity of the Next Friend claim. But such a restriction is contrary to our long held and often restated duty to examine sua sponte whether jurisdiction exists, regardless how the parties have framed their claims. See, e.g. Gonzalez v. Thaler, 565 U.S. 134, 141, 132 S.Ct. 641, 181 L.Ed.2d 619 (2012) (“When a requirement goes to subject-matter jurisdiction, courts are obligated to consider sua sponte the issues that the parties have disclaimed or have not presented. Subject matter jurisdiction can never be waived or forfeited.”) (internal citations omitted). We therefore respectfully reject this suggested limitation.

Next, although Judge N.R. Smith agrees that an animal cannot sue by next friend, he nevertheless limits his analysis to cases involving next friend suits under statutes which contain particular next friend provisions. Under Whitmore and Coalition, he argues, we must dismiss based on PETA’s insufficiency as a “next friend.” But if we all agree that suits by animals cannot be brought under FRCP 17, because the rule refers only to “persons,” not “animals,” why would we want to follow and be bound by habeas cases for humans for which the statute (§ 2242) expressly provides next friend standing? The concurrence does not explain this point.

In our view, the question of standing was explicitly decided in Cetacean. Although, as

 Such pauses and delays did not occur frequently. Poldik had no great need of them.

Not only was his step measured, vacillating, and swaying-his whole character was equally measured, vacillating, and swaying, all his thoughts and conceptions were so in their inception and concludings. It must be something of extreme importance, in fact, of absolute necessity which should cause Poldik to halt and wait for his follower and cart to catch him up and enter into conversation. In general he managed to learn what he wished to know by looks alone, and seldom had recourse to words. A whole dialogue was thus disposed of as they passed one another or trailed after one another, merely by means of glances. Thus one of his mates had a white horse that limped on Saturday. Poldik saw them again on Monday, and the white horse no longer limped. He glanced at the happy possessor of the beast, and this glance meant, “The white horse has soon recovered.” The other glanced at Poldik, infused a certain smug satisfaction into his look, and this look meant, “No; he does not limp to-day.” Or he saw the white horse in the forenoon with one of its shoes off, and when he met it in the afternoon the shoe was still missing. Here Poldik looked at the carter, and this look meant, “It is still with one of its shoes off!” The owner of the white horse similarly replied by a look, and in it Poldik heard or saw the words, “We have been very busy to-day, and really have not had time.”

Poldik’s regularity was shown moreover in the way he spoke to his horses. Just as if he had been laying out a road, he counted twenty Poldikian steps-and only after this precise measurement, pulled the rein, cracked the whip, and shouted “hee!” You might wager your head, it would not come one step before or after the twenty paces. Only I must except certain special occasions. On Monday when he put to the horses after their Sabbath rest he shouted “hee!” twenty times during the first twenty steps. That was to compensate for all that had been omitted on the Sunday. And this single circumstance proves to me that he did not usually shout out in his sleep or in moments of rest and abstraction. Moreover, this exclamation occurred more frequently early in the morning during the first few steps, and again in the afternoon after the midday meal.

In this Poldikian “hee!” rested a whole dictionary. Generally it was only a commonplace incitement to activity, pronounced clearly and pithily. But when something touched, angered, or vexed Poldik, the horses certainly became aware of the fact, for


text:
Page:Halek's Stories and Evensongs.pdf/222

 the “hee!” was forcibly expressed and sharply pronounced. Similarly, if he congratulated himself about some trifle or if he felt a bit of self-satisfaction, the horses knew it, for then the “hee!” was scarcely audible, it was only softly murmured as if spoken in a sort of a soliloquy. At such times it would happen that the horses stopped at the ale-house of their own accord. But something much out of the common way must have staggered the soul of Poldik before he prolonged the “hee!” and made of it “heesta!” Then the horses gathered themselves together and took several steps at a quicker rate, so that it was only on these occasions that, comparing them to a watch, they could be said to gain a little. But, indeed, these irregularities were so rare that they were almost lost in the distance of ages. Only to us who are Poldik’s biographers, are even these irregularities matters of importance; as we shall see in the sequel.

ND a time came when Poldik’s irregularities became almost the rule.

At midday he stopped with his vehicle not far from Naplavka in the shadow of a lofty wall, where he and his horses celebrated the dinner-hour. Having hung the oat-bags to the horses’ muzzles, he waited for the coming of Malka.

Malka, his little neighbour, brought his dinner to him, from the same house where Poldik dwelt or rather where he and his horses just bivouacked for the night. His neighbour herself, Malka’s mother, it must be understood, used to cook and bring his dinner, but when she fell sick her daughter brought it, and not till then did Poldik become aware that his neighbour had a daughter. Then this neighbour died, and Malka was crying when she brought his dinner.

Poldik could have wept with her, for under all his apparent roughness lay a tender heart. And here he was prompted to say, “Poor thing!” By this he meant the dead mother.

But when Malka only cried the more, he looked at her and said, “Poor, poor thing, don’t cry any more, it can’t be helped.”

When that afternoon he drove off with his sand, he felt as though all the time he had Malka’s tears in his own heart, and sometimes for a score paces his throat was parched, and “hee!” remained only “in posse”, or it stuck in his throat, and he felt as

 500 feet below the base of an overcast. In this instance it could be determined how far the two aircraft were below the base of the overcast

From the reported attitude of the two aircraft shortly before the collision and from the manner in which they came together, it is concluded that the Boeing pilot saw the DC3 and started a diving left turn in an effort to avoid it. As the two aircraft were on intersecting courses with the Boeing to the right of the airliner, the training plane had right-of-way according to Civil Air Regulations. However, this did not relieve its pilot of his responsibility to be alert to other traffic. Neither of the DC3 pilots was sufficiently alert to other traffic as evidenced by their testimony that the Captain was tuning the radio and the First Officer was watching ground objects just prior to the collision.

Based on the evidence acquired during the investigation and hearing. the Board finds that:

1. Both aircraft and all three pilots were properly certificated.

2 A haze prevailed which reduced horizontal invisibility with increase in altitude.

3) None of the three pilots were sufficiently alert to other traffic.

4) The two aircraft were on intersecting courses and the Boeing, to the right of the DC3, had right-of-way according to Civil Air Regulations.

5) Just before the collision the Boeing pilot attempted to avoid the airliner by altering his flight path downward and to the loft.

6) Almost simultaneous with the collision the DC3 pilot attempted to avoid the other plane by turning to the loft.

Upon the basis of the foregoing the Bosid determines that the probablo cause of this accident was lack of vigilance on the part of the pilots of both aircraft. Reduced horizontal visibility may have been a contributing factor,

 though he should cry if he succeeded in saying it. He cracked his whip moodily, and the lash curled itself round the handle like a flag round its flagstaff when the fête is over. His swearing was such that the horses could make nothing of it, and stopped continually, both at the ale-house, the blacksmith’s, the fruit stall, and the tobacconist’s.

When Malka came with dinner on the following day, Poldik scrutinized her while she was still in the distance to see whether she was crying. She was not crying, and consequently when she approached Poldik smiled faintly. He was hungry, and when he had half finished his dinner, he said, “Malka, you are a capital cook.” On this even Malka smiled faintly, and Poldik gave his horses their oats. That afternoon you might have heard Poldik’s “hee!” from one end of the street to the other, and he swore more in jest than in earnest, so that the horses were puzzled to know what it all meant. Even his own pace was fresher than usual, so that he overtook his vehicle and found himself walking by the shafts, after which he halted, and with a self-conscious smirk, awaited until the cart again overtook him.

And now Malka was no longer in tears when she brought the dinner, but still Poldik always turned his eyes to meet her, and to see how she looked. Malka was sometimes already smiling in the distance, and after this it appeared to Poldik that only one person in the world could cook so well, and that his dinner tasted excellent. He did not say so, indeed, in so many words, but his looks expressed as much. When he replaced the first plate in her basket he smiled, and also smiled after the second course, and concluded with the words, “You are a capital cook, Malka.” Malka smiled too, but with modest downcast eyes; when she departed Poldik gave her his hand, and was long enough in saying good-bye. For once in their lives his horses got plenty of oats.

All that afternoon this incident left traces of irregularity in his gait and action, which were apparent to every one even at a distance. His face looked as if he were still all the time munching his dinner, and praising Malka for her cooking. He kept saying “Cl! cl!” and even his “hee!” was frequently exchanged for these euphonious sounds. And when he cracked his whip it was with an air which plainly said, “How proud I am to be able to crack a whip.” He swore with a face that belied the oath and seemed to say, “I really scarce know why a fellow should swear after all.” And all the time his mind was occupied with Malka more than with anything else. She was for the present complete mistress of


text:
Page:Halek's Stories and Evensongs.pdf/224

 Poldik’s mental economy, and he was delighted to think what roguish eyes she had, what pretty dimples when she laughed, what a fresh healthy face, in a word, that she was a girl whom any one would turn to look at as she passed.

Afterwards it came to pass, that it was not enough to give her his hand in a long good-bye, but he also greeted her with a shake of the hand when she brought the dinner, and he laughed more frequently during the meal, and said, “Troth, troth, Malka, it is charming.” After this he always gave his horses an extra feed of oats, so that now none of his comrades passed them without measuring them with a look which seemed to say, “Look at him! he means to turn his jades into horses still.” It is true they still pulled like jades, but already they might any day have trotted away like horses.

Once, I know not by what accident, he was behind his time in driving to his midday halting-place. Hitherto, be it understood, he had always been first with his cart at the midday trysting-place, and it was only after he had given his horses their first feed of oats that Malka made her appearance. But owing to this delay it happened that he overtook Malka on the road, indeed in one of the several streets which he threaded before debouching on Naplavka, and when he overtook her he said, “Malka, let me give you and the dinner a lift.” He said this with a touch of pride, for it was not every one who could say, “Malka, have a lift.” He took the basket out of her hands, placed it in the cart, then helped Malka to scramble up, pointed out to her how she was to sit, and drove the vehicle standing.

Lord! what a drive that was! All the time that Poldik held the reins he felt as though he was holding Malka and helping her into the cart. His features were quite playful, his eyes were quite beaming, then he confused “hee” and “heesta” together, smacked his whip as if he were off to the festival, and only swore when it was absolutely necessary. After which he always looked at Malka with a broad smile which seemed to inquire, “There! what do you think of that now for a drive?” It was a delightful moment to him when Malka smilingly replied, “Quite charming, Poldik dear, quite charming.” Here at last Poldik felt that he might allow himself a certain latitude; he incited his steeds and coaxed them with “Cl! cl!” in such a way that it put them in mind of their youthful years; so that they exchanged their sluggish pace for a fresher step, so that in places they even frisked, so that the cart bumped over the cobble-stones until Poldik had to skip from one

 foot to the other, and Malka was in difficulties, not knowing whether she ought to clutch the dinner-basket to prevent it from being jolted out, or whether she ought to keep herself there by clutching with both hands.

It delighted Poldik beyond measure this fear of hers, which was at the same time half laughter. I do not know what the horses had to say to all that coaxing and whip-cracking, but they understood it, and for the nonce shook off several years of their lives. But, indeed, even Poldik felt himself younger and scarcely remembered when he felt so young as he did that day.

Well, and when they halted not far from Naplavka [the Quay] in the shadow of the lofty wall, he actually bounded from the cart, and when he looked at Malka and her face was covered with smiles and dimples, and she said, “What a ride we have had!”—oh! then it seemed as though they must be married to-morrow morning. Finally he helped her out of the cart. Malka took his hand with much simplicity, rested her other hand on his shoulder, and giving a spring allowed herself to be lifted off her feet and placed on the ground. Poldik felt thoroughly self-satisfied, and never in his life imagined that he could have courted a girl so well.

What came to pass fortuitously to-day, came to pass again on the morrow and the day after, and then for many a day. From some cause or other he always happened to overtake Malka about midday in some street, settled her in the cart, drove about with her, smirked at her, urged on the horses until the cart bumped over the paving-stones, and then again lifted her from the cart and took his dinner. At that time Poldik’s horses fared well, so that they thought nothing of their accelerated speed. They had plainly grown rich, both in the matter of speed and their provisions for life, and displayed it in every step.

At this period, you will understand, Poldik’s own feet moved brisker and were firmer planted. He was as it were on the highway to something better, and showed a touch of the dandy and of the world, though indeed any one at the first glance would have recognized his original uniformity and ponderousness latent beneath it all.

At this period it happened that once as Poldik was helping Malka from the cart, a certain chum of his passing by them grinned ironically at the couple, and inquired, “And, pray, when are you two going to pair off?” To this question Poldik ought to have replied with a smart repartee, and Malka with silence. But as it

 happened Malka replied with a laugh—indeed, a very boisterous laugh, and Poldik’s blood boiled and he never answered a word, but stood agape as though he had done something amiss.

It is possible that some sprightly young lady-reader has already condemned his faint-heartedness, and given it its proper appellation. I, however, have no objection to it, and have merely to add that it never occurred to me to exhibit his character in a more favourable light than that, in which it exhibited itself.

But the truth is, that though he stood agape and blushed at the question, still the question itself ran in his head. “When are you two going to pair off”, continually buzzed in his mind, and every “hee,” every “heesta” was the outward expression of that inquiry, every oath was a sort of a rejection of all possible obstacles, every smack of the whip was an asseveration that pair off they must. Ay, yet more. From that moment every time Poldik looked at Malka, he always saw in her that smile which had been called into existence by the original inquiry, “When are you two going to pair off.” Thus things evolve themselves from one another.

At that time he used to stop less frequently at the ale-house and the fruit stall. He had indeed saved and put by sundry groschen at home, but still it appeared to him that he ought to add every penny he could to what he had already scraped together, in order to have enough capital to begin housekeeping. And he saved and added and reckoned in his mind when the marriage could come off. Malka pleased him, about that there was no longer any doubt.

One Sunday she brought his dinner into the stable where his horses were stalled, and here for the first time Poldik said, “And perhaps, Malka, on Sunday we might dine together in your lodging.” He thought that in saying this he had said a great deal, and that it was a consequence of that much revolved sentence, “When are you two going to pair off.” But any one at all versed in the expression of ideas will agree with me that it really said very little.

Such apparently was Malka’s opinion. And she replied laughingly, “What an idea, Poldik, when we are—as we are! What would people say?”

Malka said much more that Poldik had done previously, indeed she led him a good piece of the way to the goal he had in view, perhaps even farther than was becoming in so young a girl. But Poldik being, properly speaking, slow, vacillating, and indecisive
