 free. Then he drew on his boots, and wished himself at the seashore, and there he was directly. Drawing out the fish-scale, he cried, ‘Come and help me, King of the Fishes!’ and his brother-in-law swam up, and asked what he could do. The young man related the story, and when he had finished his listener summoned all the fishes to his presence. The last to arrive was a little sardine, who apologised for being so late, but said she had hurt herself by knocking her head against an iron casket that lay in the bottom of the sea. The king ordered several of the largest and strongest of his subjects to take the little sardine as a guide, and bring him the iron casket. They soon returned with the box placed across their backs and laid it down before him. Then the youth produced the key and said ‘Key, open that box!’ and the key opened it, and though they were all crowding round, ready to catch it, the white dove within flew away.

It was useless to go after it, and for a moment the young man’s heart sank. The next minute, however, he remembered that he had still his feather, and drew it out crying, ‘Come to me, King of the Birds!’ and a rushing noise was heard, and the King of the Birds perched on his shoulder, and asked what he could do to help him. His brother-in-law told him the whole story, and when he had finished the King of the Birds commanded all his subjects to hasten to his presence. In an instant the air was dark with birds of all sizes, and at the very last came the white dove, apologising for being so late by saying that an old friend had arrived at his nest, and he had been obliged to give him some dinner. The King of the Birds ordered some of them to show the young man the white dove’s nest, and when they reached it, there lay the egg which was to break the spell and set them all free. When it was safely in his pocket, he told the boots to carry him straight to the cavern where his youngest sister sat awaiting him.

 Now it was already far on into the third day, which the old man had fixed for the wedding, and when the youth reached the cavern with his cap on his head, he found the monster there, urging the girl to keep her word and let the marriage take place at once. At a sign from her brother she sat down and invited the old monster to lay his head on her lap. He did so with delight, and her brother standing behind her back passed her the egg unseen. She took it, and dashed it straight at the horrible head, and the monster started, and with a groan that people took for the rumblings of an earthquake, he turned over and died.

As the breath went out of his body the husbands of the two eldest daughters resumed their proper shapes, and, sending for their mother-in-law, whose sorrow was so unexpectedly turned into joy, they had a great feast, and the youngest sister was rich to the end of her days with the treasures she found in the cave, collected by the monster.

Rh "Because, gentlemen, it is my dog, and I have come to fetch it away."

"No, old woman, don't take him away; we want to keep him ourselves."

"Very well, gentlemen, if you like to buy him you are welcome."

"How much do you want?"

"A hundred roubles, gentlemen."

"That is rather high, my good woman."

"No, gentlemen, not at all. Look at the dog yourselves; see what a splendid animal it is."

The hunters, after a little bargaining, counted out the money, while the old woman began taking the collar off; but when the hunters saw what she was doing, they would not hear of it.

"But I don't intend selling the collar," said the old woman; "I only sell the dog."

"Nonsense!" cried the hunters; "we must have the collar, too. Who ever thought of buying a dog without a collar? Why, the animal would be sure to get lost."

The old woman, after a great deal of arguing, at last consented, and giving them the dog as well as the collar, took the money, and went away.

Off rode the hunters, when suddenly a fox ran past. They unloosened their dogs and away they went; but the creature was not to be caught so easily.

"Let us try the new hound; he may be able to catch it," said one of the hunters.

They loosened him, too, but the cunning dog had hardly been set free when away he went in exactly

In a word, the Drunkard may be well said to drink himself to the Devil; the nice eating Glutton feeds and fattens himself up for the Devil's Slaughter-house; because one Vice feeds another till they are made ripe for Hell, by the distracted Use of lawful and laudable Things; making lawful and even necessary Things criminal, and sowing the Seeds of Vice in the ordinary Ploughings of meer Nature.

From that moment the insatiable curiosity of the apprentice, unwillingly concealing himself behind the pile of merchandise, was doomed to disappointment; the chief actors in the scene followed at a little distance by the wondering porter who carried the light luggage and watched speculatively by another in charge of their cabin trunks, moved further into the shed to a more private position, and beyond Stainsby's straining ears. He saw exchange of words, gestures, and for a time gathered nothing. But there where the detectives were grouped with their captives strange things were happening.

In the course of his professional career Wedgwood had often been suddenly surprised himself and had just as often seen surprise expressed on the faces of other people. But, much to his astonishment, he had hardly uttered the word forgery when he saw a surprise in Thomas Wraypoole's expression which he knew, beyond doubt, to be genuine. Wraypoole, indeed, laughed—and the laugh was a sneer.

 "Forgery?" he exclaimed. "And whose name have I forged! Not yours, I'll warrant!"

Wedgwood gave him a keen look and Wraypoole laughed again—this time with obvious contempt.

"Off it again, Wedgwood!" he exclaimed sarcastically. "And worse than ever, this time!"

"We'll see about that!" said Wedgwood. "Step further this way—I don't want a scene."

"No time to step that way," retorted Wraypoole. "My wife and I are going on that boat! There's all our luggage"

"You're not going on that boat!" interrupted Wedgwood firmly. "You're going back to London with me! If you'd been on that boat—if you'd got off on it—you'd have been held on arrival at New York. I want you on a charge of forging the verification form of these passports you've just shown. What do you say to that, now?"

But as he snapped out this sharp and direct question Wedgwood had an uncomfortable feeling that he was on some wrong tack. If Wraypoole had looked genuinely surprised a minute before he now looked genuinely incredulous. What was more, the woman at his side who up to now had remained silent, gazing anxiously from one man to the other let out an equally

 incredulous exclamation: evidently she knew what the detective was talking about and knew he was wrong.

"That's utter nonsense!" retorted Wraypoole. "The verification forms were properly signed by Mr. Morgan Pugh, a solicitor near my old place in Wandsworth Road—my wife and I were present, of course, when he signed them. We went to him because he was close by. What's more, I've his receipt in my pocket for the fee I paid him." He set down a small handbag and after some rummaging in a breast pocket, found a paper and handed it to the detective. "There you are!" he said triumphantly. "What about that?"

"Wedgwood looked closely at the signature of the receipt—which was certainly on Morgan Pugh's notepaper. The signature coincided with that he had seen at the Passport Office, but not with that of the Morgan Pugh he had visited.

"What was this Morgan Pugh like that you saw?" he asked, handing the receipt back. "Describe him!"

"Man about thirty—tallish—slight beard and moustache," answered Wraypoole, promptly.

"A yellowish beard and moustache," corrected Mrs. Wraypoole. "And blue eyes!"

"Had you ever seen him before?" asked

38 the opposite direction to the fox, and when at a safe distance from the hunters he changed himself quickly into his proper shape and overtook the old woman.

"Oh, mother! why on earth did you sell the collar? I warned you not, and if we had not met a fox I should have been lost to you for ever."

Then they began building a new hut for themselves, where they lived for some time without starving; but at last out of the hundred roubles only a hundred kopeks (2s. English) remained.

"My dear son," said the old woman, one day, "I wish we could get a little more money to buy a few things with."

"Very well; how much do you want? Will two hundred roubles be enough for you?"

"Two hundred roubles? why, we could build quite a large house, as well as buy all the things I want."

"Well, then, look here. I will change myself into a beautiful bird, and you must take me to market and sell me for two hundred roubles. But mind, mother, and on no account sell me in a cage, or else I can never come home again."

So saying he changed himself into a bird with such lovely feathers that the like had never been seen. The old woman was greatly astonished, and carried it to market in a pretty little cage, and in a very short time she had quite a crowd round her, who came to admire the beautiful creature, and wanted to buy it; but, unfortunately, the price was too high for them, so they shook their heads, whistled, and went away. The old woman was beginning to think that she would never get rid of it at all, when sud-

stir from the fireplace to-night,’ said old Peggy, ‘for the wind is blowing so violently that the house shakes; besides, this is Hallow-e’en, when the witches are abroad, and the goblins, who are their servants, are wandering about in all sorts of disguises, doing harm to the children of men.’

‘Why should I stay here?’ said the eldest of the young people. ‘No, I must go and see what the daughter of old Jacob, the rope-maker, is doing. She wouldn’t close her blue eyes all night if I didn’t visit her father before the moon had gone down.’

‘I must go and catch lobsters and crabs,’ said the second, ‘and not all the witches and goblins in the world shall hinder me.’

So they all determined to go on their business or pleasure, and scorned the wise advice of old Peggy. Only the youngest child hesitated a minute, when she said to him, ‘You stay here, my little Richard, and I will tell you beautiful stories.’

But he wanted to pick a bunch of wild thyme and some blackberries by moonlight, and ran out after the others. When they got outside the house they said: ‘The old woman talks of wind and storm, but never was the weather finer or the sky more clear; see how majestically the moon stalks through the transparent clouds!’

Then all of a sudden they noticed a little black pony close beside them.

poor. Such a motive hallows and dignifies the com- monest pursuit. It is strange that laboring men do not think more of the vast usefulness of their toils, and take a benevolent pleasure in them on this ac- count. ..

" Be a man's vocation what it may, his rule should be to do its duties perfectly, to do the best he can, and thus to make perpetual progress in his art. In other words, Perfection should be proposed ; and this I urge not only for its usefulness to society, nor for the sincere pleasure which a man takes in seeing a work well done. This is an important means of self-culture. In this way the idea of Perfection takes root in the mind, and spreads far beyond the man's trade. He gets a tendency towards completeness in whatever he undertakes." {Works, Vol. II., pp. 384/5.)

PRAYER.

ACCORDING to Swedenborg, the essential thing in prayer is the heart's sincere desire ; and what a man desires above all else, is what he really prays for. He may from habit, or from the established ritual in the denomination to which he belongs, re- peat words which do not express his heart's desire. In such case the words of prayer are but empty and

 Wedgwood. "Ever done business with him?"

"No!" answered Wraypoole. "Never been there before, never set eyes on him before, though he was so near by. My regular solicitors are in the City. I went to this man because I knew that any solicitor would do"

Wedgwood stopped him. He already had an idea. Somebody—probably a temporary clerk—had personated the real Morgan Pugh, put Wraypoole's money in his pocket, and said nothing about it. But he saw how he could turn this affair to important advantage.

"Come aside, Wraypoole," he said. "Now," he went on, as he drew his man a little way from the others, "I think there has been a mistake—it strikes me the man you saw was not Morgan Pugh at all, but some clerk or other solicitor doing duty for him. Still, I've only your word for it—and there's this warrant! Where are you off to, Wraypoole, and why?"

"New York first—then the Argentine—oil business!" answered Wraypoole. "And it's a bit of a honeymoon—she was my housekeeper; we were married a week ago. I can give you my New York address."

He thrust a card into the detective's hand, and Wedgwood suddenly made up his mind.

"Look here!" he said. "I've been making enquiries about you because your movements

 have been, to say the least of them, suspicious. But you answer me two questions, truthfully and promptly, and I'll make it right about that warrant instead of detaining you till I've enquired into the Pugh business. First, from whom did that cheque for five thousand pounds come that you had specially cleared at your bank the other day?"

"From a City firm, Ledsham, Castleford and Company, who—secretly, mind you—are going into this oil business with me,"replied Wraypoole, promptly. "Their place is in Queen Victoria Street."

"Very well!" said Wedgwood. "Now the other—and most important! Who was the man you saw John with the evening of the murder? Come now!"

Wraypoole hesitated. Then he caught sight of his wife's agitated face.

"Well, I'll tell you!" he said, suddenly. "But I don't believe he'd anything to do with it. A man named Levigne, a financial chap, who has an office not far from where they were talking, top of Chancery Lane."

"You mean Levigne who's a director of that new Mortover Main Colliery Company?" said Wedgwood. "Lives in Cleveland Square?"

"That's the man! But"

Wedgwood motioned him to join his wife.

Page:Fletcher - The Mortover Grange Affair.pdf/248

 "All right, Wraypoole!" he said. "You should have told me that before! Off you go—you've a quarter of an hour left. And—if your evidence is wanted you'll come across!"

A moment later the inquisitive apprentice saw Wraypoole and his wife actually shake hands with the three detectives, Wedgwood making some evidently humorous remark in the process and hurry with their belongings to the steamer, where they were speedily swallowed up amongst a crowd of fellow-passengers. And stealing out of his hiding-place he made his way to where Wedgwood and the other men were talking, and pulled Wedgwood's sleeve.

"What's that mean?" he demanded. "You've not let them go!"

Wedgwood looked round. He had forgotten Stainsby.

"Been a slight mistake, my lad!" he said. "Never mind—I've got the most valuable bit of information I've had since I started on this business!" He rubbed his hands at the thought of it. "Come on!" he said. "We're just going to have a cup of tea together before I get off to London again—you'll be coming with me, of course."

Stainsby gave another glance at the long,

Rh ‘Oh, ho!’ they said, ‘that is old Valentine’s pony; it must have escaped from its stable, and is going down to drink at the horse-pond.’

‘My pretty little pony,’ said the eldest, patting the creature with his hand, ‘you mustn’t run too far; I’ll take you to the pond myself.’

With these words he jumped on the pony’s back and was quickly followed by his second brother, then by the third, and so on, till at last they were all astride the little

beast, down to the small Richard, who didn’t like to be left behind.

On the way to the pond they met several of their companions, and they invited them all to mount the pony, which they did, and the little creature did not seem to mind the extra weight, but trotted merrily along.

The quicker it trotted the more the young people enjoyed the fun; they dug their heels into the pony’s sides and called out, ‘Gallop, little horse, you have never had such brave riders on your back before!’

 was all a-quiver with the roar and thudding of the printing machinery. I remember very vividly to this day how I went there first, down a narrow road-way out of the main thoroughfare, past a dingy public-house and the stage door of a theatre.”

“What were you going to do—pack up books? Or run errands?” asked Radiant.

“I was to do what I could. Very soon I was on the general editorial staff.”

“Editing popular knowledge?"

“Yes.”

“But why did they want an illiterate youngster like yourself at Thunderstone House ?” asked Radiant. “I can understand that this work of instructing and answering the first crude questions of the new reading classes was necessarily a wholesale improvised affair, but surely there were enough learned men at the ancient universities to do all the editing and instructing that was needed!”

Sarnac shook his head. “The amazing thing is that there weren't,” he said. “They produced men enough of a sort but they weren't the right sort.”

His auditors looked puzzled.

“The rank-and-file of the men they sent out labelled M.A. and so forth from Oxford and Cambridge were exactly like those gilt-lettered jars in Mr. Humberg's shop, that had nothing in them but stale water. The pseudo-educated man of the older order couldn't teach, couldn't write, couldn't explain.

 black hull of the liner. There had been no grand dramatic scene, after all!

"I don't understand!" he growled.

"Daresay you don't my lad!" chuckled Wedgwood, who seemed to be in great good humour and immensely pleased with himself. "But you will—you will in time!"

The apprentice followed unwillingly and sat glowering and gumpy while the three detectives chatted and gossiped over their tea. And when later he and Wedgwood boarded the train for London and Wedgwood explained what had taken place with Wraypoole on the landing-stage he shook his head disapprovingly.

"I suppose you know your job better than I do, Mr. Wedgwood!" he muttered. "But I wouldn't have believed a word Thomas Wraypoole said. I should say he stuck Mr. Morgan Pugh's name in those papers himself!"

"Mr. Pugh can settle that matter, my lad," replied Wedgwood. "To-morrow, or next day, or the day after—I'm not particular about that, or when! I got a bit of information from Wraypoole that'll probably help me more than anything I've had so far, and I shouldn't have got it if I hadn't put him in a bit of a temporary fix. But I feel sure my notion's right—Wraypoole didn't see Pugh about these verifications; he saw some man who was deputising for Pugh,

 In the meantime the wind had risen again, and the waves began to howl; but the pony did not seem to mind the noise, and instead of going to the pond, cantered gaily towards the sea-shore.

Richard began to regret his thyme and blackberries, and the eldest brother seized the pony by the mane and tried to make it turn round, for he remembered the blue eyes of Jacob the rope-maker’s daughter. But he tugged and pulled in vain, for the pony galloped straight on into the sea, till the waves met its forefeet. As soon as it felt the water it neighed lustily and capered about with glee, advancing quickly into the foaming billows. When the waves had covered the children’s legs they repented their careless behaviour, and cried out: ‘The cursed little black pony is bewitched. If we had only listened to old Peggy’s advice we shouldn’t have been lost.’

The further the pony advanced, the higher rose the sea; at last the waves covered the children’s heads and they were all drowned.

Towards morning old Peggy went out, for she was anxious about the fate of her grandchildren. She sought them high and low, but could not find them anywhere. She asked all the neighbours if they had seen the children, but no one knew anything about them, except that the eldest had not been with the blue-eyed daughter of Jacob the rope-maker.

As she was going home, bowed with grief, she saw a little black pony coming towards her, springing and curveting in every direction. When it got quite near her it neighed loudly, and galloped past her so quickly that in a moment it was out of her sight.

 and who, knowing that Wraypoole was off, put Wraypoole's money in his pocket, see!"

"So Wraypoole's suspected no longer?" suggested Stainsby.

"I think we can dismiss him!" assented Wedgwood.

"Who's suspected now, then?" demanded the apprentice.

But Wedgwood only laughed. Stainsby had been useful enough, and he should have his reward, but there was no reason why he should be taken into full confidence. For now, consequent on Thomas Wraypoole's tardy admission Wedgwood thought he saw daylight.

Levigne! That, in all probability, was the man he wanted to get hold of—not, perhaps for actual guilt as regards the murder of John Wraypoole, but as one who knew the real truth in the case and could point to the murderer. From an early stage of his investigations, Wedgwood had felt that there was somebody in the background, accessory before or after the crime who could tell a great deal if he or she would, and he had an instinctive feeling now, after Thomas Wraypoole's reluctant admission that Levigne was the man. Levigne was closely concerned with the affairs of the newly-found colliery company; it was he who had negotiated the sale of the Mortover estate to that com-

the Island. After leaving Paia the road passes through the rich, rolling country of Haiku, thickly planted with pineapples. Beyond Huelo there is and excellent paved trail following the line of the ditch through the wild jungle of this, the wettest part of the Island. It winds in and out, always at an elevation of from 3,000 to 2,000 feet, following the contours of the ragged gulches which cut into the mountain from the sea. Often it is actually blasted out of the sides of precipices where one looks down a sheer 1,000 feet to the valley bottoms, with the sea beyond. The Keanac Valley, inhabited only by Hawaiians and, until the trail was built, accessible only from the sea, leads up into the Koolau gap and into the crater of Haleakala. The ascent is gradual, leading through magnificent scenery and splendid, untouched native forests. On either side of the gap, at the entrance to the crater, the precipices tower ruggedly thousands of feet into the air, forming the stately gateway through which the Fire Goddess left her ancient home. A few miles beyond this valley the trail, still winding along the precipices and crossing gulches at their narrow upper ends, always through beautiful tropical growth, reaches Nahiku, the centre of the new Hawaiian rubber industry.* From here around the eastern end of the Island there is a good carriage road, part of it following the line of a

 pany; in all likelihood he had a big financial stake in these transactions; possibly he had discovered that John Wraypoole's discoveries about Avice Mortover were likely to jeopardize his position. Anyway, Levigne was the man to go for next. And though it was half-past eight in the evening when Wedgwood got back to London, he parted from his still dissatisfied companion, and hurrying straight from Waterloo to Bayswater, knocked at the door of 581 Cleveland Square, soon after nine o'clock.

For some time nobody answered the detective's summons. While he waited he examined the exterior of the house. It was typical of the houses of that neighbourhood; a stuccoed or painted front, high, narrow, with a portico over the steps of the front door and a railing that shut off the area in front of the basement. He noticed at once that all the front windows were dark; there was not a gleam of light in either upper or lower windows, nor behind the glass panels of the door at which he waited. But looking more closely he saw that there was certainly a light in the basement, and at that he knocked more loudly, and discovering a bell at the side of the door gave it a good pull. A moment later he heard a key turn and a bolt withdrawn; a light was turned up in the hall, and the door opening he found himself in the

 presence of a young woman dressed as if for going out who stared at him with what he took for suspicion.

"Mr. Levigne at home?" asked Wedgwood promptly. "This is Mr. Levigne's, I think?" The young woman, who had only opened the door sufficiently to reveal her own presence, shook her head, making as if to close it altogether.

"It's Mr. Levigne's, yes," she replied. "But he's not at home."

"Can you tell me what time he's likely to be in?" asked Wedgwood. "I want to see him to-night, particularly."

"I can't say," she answered. "He mightn't be in to-night. Mr. Levigne's often away on business.'

"Can you tell me if I should be likely to find him at his office, in Chancery Lane, to-morrow morning?" enquired the detective. "The matter is important."

The young woman shook her head; Wedgwood saw that she knew nothing about Chancery Lane in relation to Levigne.

"I can't say, I'm sure," she replied. "I don't know anything about the office arrangements." She hesitated a moment, still gazing doubtfully at him. "What name shall I say?" she added.


text:
Page:Fletcher - The Mortover Grange Affair.pdf/253

 "Thank you—it's no matter," answered Wedgwood. "I'll contrive to see Mr. Levigne elsewhere."

He lifted his hat and moved off; as he retreated he heard the door locked and bolted again. For a moment or two he lingered, wondering if it would pay him to watch the house a little? But he was already weary with a long day's work, and presently he went away, towards the Underground station at Queen's Road, intending to go home. As he walked into the booking-office he ran into Nottidge.

Nottidge was not only in a hurry, but was obviously excited. The instant he saw the detective he gripped him by the arm and drew him aside.

"The very man!" he exclaimed. "Look here, Wedgwood, I've been telephoning after you all this afternoon—couldn't get any news of you!"

"Been away," said Wedgwood. "What is it?"

"This! At noon to-day I got a letter—woman's handwriting—no signature—saying that if I'd be at the corner of Queen's Road and Westbourne Grove to-night about ninethirty the writer would meet me and give me some information. Of course, it's about my advertisement—first result I've got!"

Resolution of Both Houses No. 3 (6th Congress of the Philippines)

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in joint session assembled, by a vote of not less than three-fourths of all the Members of each House voting separately: To propose, as they hereby propose:

Section sixteen, Article VI of the Constitution of the Philippines is amended to read as follows:

" No Senator or Member of the House of Representatives may hold any office or employment in the Government without forfeiting his seat, nor shall any Senator or Member of the House of Representatives, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office which may have been created or the emolument whereof shall have been increased while he was a Member of the Congress. He may, however, be a Member of a Constitutional Convention."

This amendment shall be valid as part of the Constitution when approved by a majority of the votes cast in an election at which it is submitted to the people for their ratification pursuant to Article XV of the Constitution.

Adopted, March 16, 1967.

 "So you're going to keep this appointment?" said Wedgwood.

"Of course! Look here—can't you come along? Keep me in sight, you know! And if it's something that seems really important, I'll get the person, whoever she is, to tell the two of us. Come on!"

"Yes," agreed Wedgwood. He turned down Queen's Road at Nottidge's side. "You'd better be careful about what you say, at first. If the woman—if it is a woman—knows I'm a police-officer she may be off. Say I'm a friend of yours—don't mention anything about police or detectives."

"Leave it to me!" agreed Nottidge, eagerly. "I'll work it all right!"

Near the foot of Queen's Road he went forward alone, leaving Wedgwood to follow. The detective, sauntering slowly in his rear, but carefully keeping him in sight, saw him presently joined at the corner by the young woman whom he himself had just seen at the half-opened door in Cleveland Square.

 dates the poem of the Three Graves with the others of this period. To these it now seems reasonable to add some other significant details.

Lamb's letter concerning the Bürger translations had been sent to Coleridge in the latter part of July. The chances are, however, that Coleridge could not have seen Taylor's Lenora until some months later. His poem in the Monthly Magazine of September had been sent for the Morning Chronicle, and Lamb was responsible for its insertion in the former periodical. Moreover Coleridge was troubled about many matters in these months,—the birth of his first child in September, the change of residence to Stowey, the second edition of his poems, depression of spirits in general, and the neuralgia which brought the first use of opium. Apart from his drama Osorio, he was not again writing verse of importance until the inspiration attendant upon the friendly intercourse with Wordsworth. Then follows his period of balladry, perhaps partly inspired by Wordsworth, and the marked influence of Taylor's Lenora. This period includes four poems, the Three Graves, the Ancient Mariner, Christabel, and the Dark Ladie.

The order in which the poems of the year 1797 were written is not certain, but in the Three Graves and the Ancient Mariner the ballad measure was first used with the seriousness with which it had first been employed by Taylor. The first of these, which Dykes Campbell places first in composition, is a "sexton's tale" of a mother, daughter, and her lover, of a curse and its tragic consequences. Many years later when parts of the poem were printed in the Friend (Sept. 21, 1809), the following sentence shows the time and feeling under which the fragment was written:

Remembering that this places the writing of the poem in the year of Kubla Khan, the Ancient Mariner and Christabel, we may probably paraphrase this sentence somewhat as follows: "I was led to choose this story from my partiality to tragic and monstrous events when it was composed some twelve years ago." There can be little

 doubt Coleridge was remembering, with the apologies of a later time, the period of intense interest in the German tale of wonder and horror, as it became known to him through the Taylor translations. Incidentally, too, the stanza structure of the Three Graves and the earliest form of the Ancient Mariner are the same, only two variations of the ballad measure occurring in each.

One may reasonably suggest another likeness between the Three Graves and Bürger's Lenore. Coleridge closes his introduction to the fragment when printed in the Friend by the following paragraph:

There is thus a direct parallelism between the punishment for blasphemy in Lenore and in the Three Graves, together with the same emphasis of the divine mercy.

The line of Kubla Khan cited by Brandl may be a reminiscence of Bürger. Certainly the extravagance of the poem connects it closely with the other poems of this period. Yet the influence of Taylor's translation of Lenore is most marked upon the next poem which Coleridge wrote, the much greater Ancient Mariner. Here, too, it is important to remember that both poems were considerably altered in later versions, so that comparison must be made with the first forms of both. In this poem Brandl pointed only to the sinking of the ship, an alteration of the story of Paulinus in which the ship came into the harbor safely, as due to direct Lenore influence. The wedding-guest he thought taken from Lewis's Alonzo the Brave, and therefore only indirectly from Bürger.

Besides these, however, there are several important likenesses between Coleridge and Taylor. Not only is Coleridge's use of the ballad meter apparently due to Taylor's use of that form in so serious and effective a manner, but the archaic spelling of the first form of the Ancient Mariner is probably directly due to Taylor's

 HARDWICKE'S SCIENCE-GOSSIP.

among the fragmentary remains of Palaeozoic time, impossible of identification. I think the earliest evidence of the presence of Hymenopterous insects in the British Isles is found in the deposits of the middle Eocene age, and with them also is found a largely extended flora, consistent with the general law of harmony, as flowers developed Antho- philae appeared, and thus we find presumptive evidence of the bee in Britain. But where was braula? Perhaps he had not yet elected to possess terrestrial trachea.

According to my own observations, and these are corroborated by others, the London clay, even at its base, is strewn with organisms far less favourable for preservation than the chito-coriacious skins of Braula caeca. It is true that, geologically considered, the gap between these periods is incalculably great, but observation shows that, conditions being present, time is no preventative of the preservative process, so that, analogically, there seems no reason for the exclusion of the epizoa during these

Fig. 72.—Braula caeca, doreal aspect (magnified).

remote periods of the world's history. Nor is the presence of the palaeontological insectivora any reason for the total absence of palaeontological parasitica.

In passing from pre-historic to historic time to the order of creation as it now exists, we find the bee an item of vast commercial importance, and of no less scientific interest, attracting the attention of men, the most learned of their day, whose work now forms the basis of all our studies. The most ancient of historic writers tell how well the bees was known and how much studied early in man's history on earth; while Philiseus, Aristomachus, Aristotle, and others, all naturalists of high repute, were great observers, not only of the Hymenoptera, but of Mellifica in particular, while the family may be found basking and flitting form line to line in the beautiful effusions of Virgil and Dryden. Were not those keen men aware that the bee was not exempt from those common ills to which the whole insect population were then, and still are, liable? But though braula is not mentioned, the omission is no proof of absence in creation.

And nearer even still, was Swammerdam, and early Westwood, and all his followers, who take us band two hundred years, and Huber and his devoted friend—his indefatigable and literary son— his scientific wife, to each of whome we also owe so much of what we know of bees. Did they know braula? otherwise their observations were incomplete and untrustworthy. Nor can we think the rustic wife that tends her bees with assiduity, who knows all she knows form observation—not from books— does not know braula. If so, her entomology is little better than her neighbours, but not knowing braula's name, she calls it "louse."

The cultivated bee of Britain is not the same as the domesticated in certain parts of Italy, so that braula being found with us, and among the Germans, as we are told, if Italy were its birthplace, its predilection cannot be exclusive. The probability, therefore is, that the parasite is far more greatly distributed than has been supposed, and its acclimatisation may far precede our own most ancient history.

Few men have obtained that influence over the

Fig. 73.—Tarsus of Braula (magnified).

Fig. 74.—Rudimentary tropi and gula of Braula (magnified).

bee that was possessed by Wildman, and fewer still perhaps would dare to venture on his familiarities, seeing the insect's not unfrequent antipathy to certain individuals, or even to the same individual under varied conditions. Why this, the bee best knows.

Braula, as being parasitic in common with members of the family to which it is allied, derives its support from the juices of living animals, and we know when death occurs in the higher animals, important changes take place in the more delicate tissues, and in the nutrient vital fluids in particular, so that their parasites, if present, instinctively depart in search of more suitable conditions. There is no departure from this natural law.

At a first glance, one is struck with the great resemblance of Braula caeca, Mitzich (B. Caeca, Otto) to the sheep tick (Melophila ovina, Mitzich, Melophagus, Latr.). Their difference, however, soon becomes apparent when comapred, in respect of Lice (Pediculida), there is no affinity. Like ovina and some members of the Pulicidae, the antennae are contained in eye-like

 similar use, far more pronounced in his earlier than his later version. It is true such use of archaic forms might be imitation of the Percy ballads or of Chatterton. Yet the fact that Coleridge had never before used such archaisms, and the nearness of the Mariner to Coleridge's enthusiasm for Taylor, would imply the special influence of the latter's poem.

Another significant feature of the Ancient Mariner is its considerable use of internal rime, that is double rime within the line. We know, too, from a later letter of Coleridge to Southey, that the former greatly liked this feature, while Taylor thought it of little importance. Yet Taylor had used internal rime in six of his stanzas, twice in one of them, and this had apparently drawn Coleridge's attention to it. It need scarcely be mentioned that internal rime is not a normal feature of ballad poetry, yet Coleridge made it very prominent in his poem. In almost one-third of the stanzas internal rime occurs, while it is twice found in at least eight. Taylor's use of this form was in direct imitation of Burger, who had employed it occasionally. Coleridge, attracted by Taylor's use, greatly increases it in his poem.

It is perhaps not so certain that Coleridge caught up Taylor's frequent use of repetition, a common fact in ballad poetry. Yet Taylor had employed such repetition with great effectiveness, and Coleridge had carried its use still further in his ballad. Nor must one be too positive about minor features. For example, Taylor once used the feminine ending in rime, stanza 60, and Coleridge has seven cases of such rime, while Scott, also following the ballad measure in his William and Helen, does not use it at all.

It would be easy to note similarities of phrasing or imagery in the two poems. The rapid movement of the ship past kirk and hill and light-house top reminds one of the swiftness with which the spectre William and Lenore pass various objects. Moreover, the description of such action is repeated a second time in each poem. Not only is the wedding guest most important in Coleridge's poem, but other wedding guests are seen through opened doors in the distance, as William tells his bride in Taylor's translation,

"No! Oh no! I will not decrease beauty and happiness in the region of Death, but I will do something for Life in its own realm. Hence- forward people will not pass to the other shore willingly, they must be forced to it."

 The beating of the breast by the wedding guest in his impatience is paralleled by the same action of Lenore in her grief for the lost William. The roaring of the on-coming wind as heard by the mariner is like the blasts that "athwart the hawthorne hiss" in the Taylor poem. Most of the action, especially the coming of the spectre ship and the dream of the two voices, takes place in the moonlight, which is seven times mentioned, as it is three times by Taylor. The black bones of the woman's "fleshless pheere," save "the rust

may be placed over against

The "ghastly crew" of the ship, which the mariner saw, and the "ghostly crew" seen by Lenore in the air are not unlike. Finally, in addition to the sinking of the ship, which Brandl had first mentioned, it may be noted that this action seems to take place in the Mariner at or near the dawn, for this is implied by the mariner's clearer sight of the "wood which slopes down to the sea," the home of the hermit, and the action of rescuing the mariner after his many adventures.

Quite apart from similarities in form and phrasing, it will be remembered that in the composition of the Lyrical Ballads the development of the supernatural element was especially left to Coleridge. As he tells us in his Biographia Literaria,

It could not be asserted that Coleridge had now for the first time conceived the idea of using the supernatural. He had already written the Songs of the Pixies. Yet no one can compare the supernatural of that poem with that of the Ancient Mariner without perceiving the new spirit pervading the latter. That spirit, it seems not unreasonable to refer mainly to the influence of German romanticism as exhibited in Taylor's Lenora, and the new stimulus to the imagination resulting from it. Something of the same spirit

The word yugapāda seems to indicate that Āryabhața divided the yuga into four equal quarters. There is no direct statement to this effect, but also there is no reference to the traditional method of dividing the yuga into four parts in the proportion of 4, 3, 2, and 1. Brahmagupta and later tradition ascribes to Āryabhața the division of the yuga into four equal parts. For the traditional division see Sūryasiddhānta (I, 18–20, 22–23) and Brahmagupta (I, 7–8). For discussion of this and the supposed divisions of Āryabhața see Fleet. Compare III, 10, which gives data for the calculation of the date of the composition of Āryabhața's treatise. It is clear that the fixed point was the beginning of Āryabhața's fourth yugapāda (the later Kaliyuga) at the time of the great Bharata battle in 3102

 also belongs to all the poems of this brief period of Coleridge's development.

Beyond this the Ancient Mariner bears a close relation in essential character to Bürger's Lenore. A sin against the divine ruler, the one in blasphemy, the other in killing one of God's innocent creatures, the punishment attended by wondrous and supernatural circumstances, the moral and the suggestion of mercy from the divine judge,—these make up both poems. The main difference is that in the Mariner the suggestion of mercy is carried one step further, to penitence for sin, the saving of the sinner's life, and expiation in his wandering over the earth to tell his story and emphasize the moral—both notable additions to the Bürger theme. In this one may see the specific English modification of the Bürger conception, for it may be noted here again that Stanley carried out the same idea in his second version of Bürger's poem, even if in a much less artistic way.

The influence of the German ballad upon Coleridge was at once recognized at the time, especially by Southey. In the Critical Review article on the Lyrical Ballads in the October number of 1798, he says of the Ancient Mariner: "It is a Dutch attempt at German sublimity. Genius has here been employed in producing a poem of little merit." To this Lamb rightly expresses strong disapproval in a letter of Nov. 8, but it should be noted that Lamb makes no denial of German influence. His characterization of the poem as "an English attempt" "to dethrone German sublimity" implies that he recognized the German inspiration, while strongly deprecating anything like mere imitation. The letter is as follows:

If you wrote that review in the "Crit. Rev." I am sorry you are so sparing of praise to the "Ancient Mariner";—so far from calling it, as you do with some wit but more severity, "A Dutch attempt," etc., I call it a right English attempt, and a successful one to dethrone German sublimity. You have selected a passage fertile in unmeaning miracles, but have passed by fifty passages as miraculous in the miracles they celebrate. I never so deeply felt the pathetic as in that part.

It stung me into high pleasure through sufferings. Lloyd does not like it; his head is too metaphysical, and your taste too correct; at least I must allege something against you both, to excuse my own dotage —

 But you allow some elaborate beauties—you should have extracted 'em. "The Ancient Mariner" plays more tricks with the mind than that last poem [ Tintern Abbey ], which is yet one of the finest written.

Is there, perhaps, one other evidence of the influence upon Coleridge of Taylor's introduction to the German ballad? There can be no doubt that the visit to Germany of Coleridge and the Wordsworths was proposed by the former. It is true Coleridge had been interested in German literature for some time. He had read a translation of Schiller's Robbers as early as 1794-95, and had written a sonnet to its author. Parts of Osorio (1797) were based upon Schiller's Ghostseer. In the autumn Coleridge had begun to learn German in order to read Wieland's Oberon. Yet none of the biographers make entirely clear when the idea of the visit to Germany first came to him. It seems to have been first proposed to the Wordsworths in May, 1798, when the arrangement for the publication of the Lyrical Ballads was made with Cottle. Probably it had been talked of before, as indicated by a letter of Wordsworth in March. Brandl connects it with Coleridge's beginning to learn German, which he places in the autumn of 1797, and this gives it priority to any mention of the plan by Wordsworth. May it not be that Coleridge's known interest in Taylor's translations of Bürger again turned his attention to German literature, and perhaps suggested the journey which he was soon to take.

The general and particular likeness of Christabel and the Dark Ladie to Bürger's Lenore has been noted by Brandl. Especially does he call attention to Geraldine's story in the former of having "been carried away upon a wild horse and left in the wood half-dead with fright." He also thinks that the Ballad of the Dark Ladie was purposely left a fragment because of its close similarity to Lenore. Be this as it may, the likeness of both poems in the strange, weird, and supernatural show their intimate association with the poems of Bürger influence.

The doubles of people who are naturally foppish on earth will be foppish in Utopia, and people who have no natural taste on earth will have inartistic equivalents. Everyone will not be quiet in tone, or harmonious, or beautiful. Occasionally as I go through the streets to my work, I shall turn round to glance again at some robe shot with gold embroidery, some slashing of the sleeves, some eccentricity of cut, or some discord or untidiness. But these will be but transient flashes in a general flow of harmonious graciousness; dress will have scarcely any of that effect of disorderly conflict, of self-assertion qualified by the fear of ridicule, that it has in the crudely competitive civilisations of earth.

I shall see heavy faces, dull faces, faces with an uncongenial animation, alien faces, and among these some with an immediate quality of appeal. I should see desirable men approaching me, and I should think: "Now, if I were to speak to you?" Many of these latter I should note wear the same clothing as the man who spoke to us at Wassen; I should begin to think of it as a sort of uniform

I shall come to see this period more and more distinctly as a pause, as a waiting interlude; and the idea of an encounter with my double, which came at first as if it were a witticism, as something verbal and surprising, begins to take substance. The idea grows in my mind that after all this is the "someone" I am seeking, this Utopian self of mine. I had at first an idea of a grotesque encounter, as of something happening in a looking-glass; but presently it dawns on me that my Utopian self must be a very different person from me. His training will be different, his mental content different. But between us there will be a strange link of essential identity, a sympathy, an understanding. I find the thing rising suddenly to a preponderance in my mind. I find the interest of details dwindling to the vanishing-point. That I have come to Utopia is the lesser thing now; the greater is that I have come to meet myself.

I spend hours trying to imagine the encounter, inventing little dialogues. I go alone to the Bureau to find if any news has come to hand from the Great Index in Paris, but I am told to wait another

"His hand," answered Vigua, drawing his chair closer to the table, with an air of relief at finding himself free from the presence of Cuitino, who had caused him to pass so uncomfortable a quarter of an hour.

"Manuela,* you did not behave well," said Rosas, turning to his daughter.

She was about to answer when the sound of footsteps outside the door was heard and Rosas, turning his head in that direction, said to a man who appeared in the doorway :

"Come in, Victorica."

Victorica was at this time a little over fifty years of age; he was of medium height and well-proportioned. His mottled complexion was somewhat bronzed; his black hair was beginning to turn gray; his forehead was broad, but protuberant over the heavy eyebrows; his eyes were small and dark, and his glance was sullen and piercing ; two deep lines furrowed his face from the outer edge of the nostrils to the corners of the upper lip ; and a harsh and repulsive expression was stamped upon his countenance, in which the ravages made by violent passions were more noticeable than those made by time; and it was said that on that countenance a smile was rarely to be seen. The Chief of Police of Rosas was attired in black trousers, a scarlet waistcoat and a jacket of blue cloth trimmed with black silk braid, from one of the buttonholes of wh.ch hung a Federal device twelve inches in length. From his right wrist hung a whip with a silver handle, and in his left hand he carried a broad-brimmed hat with the regulation scarlet mourning band.

"Direct."

"Is there anything new?"

"They have brought in the bodies of the men who were going to cross the river to-night ; that is to say, three bodies and a dying man."

"And he?"

"Is dead. I thought he ought to share the fate of his companions."

"Who was he?"

"Lynch."

"Have you the names of the others?"

"Yes, senor."

"Besides Lynch, the bodies have been identified as those of one OHden, of Juan Riglos, and of young Maisson."

"Yes, senor, the denunciations are ahvays signed, as your Excellency has ordered."

Page:The Earliest English Translations of Bürger's Lenore - A Study in English and German Romanticism - Emerson (1915).djvu/76

 There still remains to note one further influence of Taylor's Bürger translation at this time. It has been noted that M. G. Lewis had earlier become acquainted with German, and that he had already written his ballad imitation Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogene, after the manner of Lenore. This he printed in his extravagant romance The Monk in 1795, a novel that was an extravagant success in its time. The next work which he undertook was the Tales of Wonder which, though not issued until 1801, was begun some time earlier. The last example of a "wonder" tale in this book is Taylor's translation of Lenore from the Monthly Magazine. Now we know from the meeting of William Erskine, Scott's friend, with Lewis in the spring of 1798 that the latter was already at work upon his new volume. It seems in the highest degree probable, therefore, that a contributing influence toward Lewis's new venture was the success of the Lenore translations, especially Taylor's, in the year 1796. If so we have in this a further inspiration of the German poet in his English dress.

It is not to be assumed that the influence on Coleridge and perhaps Lewis was all the effect of the Lenore translations of 1796. The main purpose of the foregoing paragraphs is to suggest that the influence of Bürger has probably been underestimated in the past. If the effect on Coleridge was even nearly so considerable as that here noted, it may have also been more important on other writers than has been pointed out. Should this study prove the basis of some further investigation of Bürger influence, it will have served one important purpose.

 mentioned. And this feature gradually establishes itself in our minds as a very good differentia of the more modern additions. It would appear that in its earlier versions the poem contained no forced mention of this particular caste, and that, in making the final recension, some care was observed to maintain the purity of the ancient texts, even while incorporating with them new matter and new comments.

The most important question of all however is one on which a new reader will find it hard to imagine himself mistaken. This is the question as to who is the hero of the last recension. Undoubtedly the Mahabharata, as we have it, is the story of Krishna. It is difficult to understand how the theory could have been put forward that the final editing had been Saivite. On the contrary, Mahadeva is represented as speaking the praises of Krishna, while, so far as I am aware, the reverse never happens. This could only mean that Hinduism as it stood was here, in the person of Shiva, incorporating a new element, which had to be ratified and accepted by all that was already holy and authoritative. The Krishna of the national story is indeed Partha-Sarathi the Charioteer of Arjuna—most probably an earlier hero of Dwarka and the war-ballads—but every effort is made, by calling him Keshava and the slayer of Putana, to identify him with that other Krishna, hero of the Jumna, who appears to have been worshipped by the cowherds, a people still half-nomadic as it would

 the prophets” and then “through the Son,” he has in mind the knowledge which is taken on faith, as we shall see later on. For the same reason he quotes Paul’s text, that “we walk by faith,” as a proof of comprehensibility, by which he means the knowledge taken on faith. By comprehensibility the author does not understand a more or less firm conviction of the existence of God, but a greater or lesser quantity of knowledge about God, though entirely incomprehensible, taken on faith. Farther on he says:

“The holy fathers and the teachers of the church have disclosed this truth in detail, especially in reference to the heretical opinions which have arisen in regard to it.”

The heretical opinions consist, in the author’s opinion, in this, that God is entirely comprehensible and absolutely incomprehensible; but the truth, in the author’s opinion, consists in this, that God is incomprehensible, and at the same time comprehensible in part. Although the word “in part” is not at all used in what the author is talking about, and has not even external authority; although the word, in the sense in which it is used here, is not even used in Holy Scripture, the author insists that God is comprehensible in part, meaning by it that he is known in part. How can something comprehensible be known fully or in part? There is an exposition of two opinions of what is supposed to be extreme heresy: of those who maintained that God was absolutely comprehensible, and of others who maintained that God was absolutely incomprehensible, and both opinions are rejected and an argument is adduced in favour of comprehensibility and incomprehensibility. In reality, it is clear that neither opinion, about the absolute comprehensibility and the absolute incomprehensibility, has ever been expressed, or ever could be expressed. In all these seeming arguments pro and con we find this expressed, that God, by the very fact that he is mentioned, that he is thought and spoken of,

Was Krishna Partha-Sarathi, then, the deliberate preaching of the Gupta dynasty to the (at that time half-Hinduised) peoples of the south side of the Jumna? Was he a hope held out to the democracy, a place made in the national faith for newly imperialised populations? Was it at this period that the play of the Mahabharata was deliberately established as an annual Pandava-lila in the villages of the south, while to Krishna Partha-Sarathi especially temples were built in Dravida-desh? In any case, there is abundant evidence half a century later, when we pass to the reign of Skanda Gupta the grandson of Vikramaditya, of the hold which the Krishna of the Jumna had obtained over the hearts of the imperial house of Pataliputra at Bhitari. In the district of Ghazipur to the west of Benares is still standing a pillar which was raised by the young king on his return from victory over the Huns in A.D. 455. He hastened to his mother, says the inscription, "just as Krishna, when he had slain his enemies, betook himself to his mother Devaki." The pillar was erected to the memory of his father— it may have marked the completion of the requiem ceremonies postponed by war —and in commemoration of the victory just gained by the protection of the gods. It was surmounted finally by a statue of the god Vishnu. This statue has now disappeared, but we

PROBLEMS OF INDIAN RESEARCH 185 may safely infer that it was of the form still common in the south of India as that of Narayana. It was probably made in low relief on a rounded panel, and depicted a beautiful youth with a lotus in his hand. In the following year 456 a great piece of engineering, so far west as the Girnar Hill, was completed and consecrated by the building of a temple of Vishnu.

Seven hundred and fifty years earlier, in the year 300 B.C., Megasthenes had noted amongst Indian religious ideas that " Herakles is worshipped at Mathura and Clisobothra." Was this latter the Hellenic pronunciation of "Klisoputa," Krisoputra, Krishnaputa? And is it to be identified with Dwarka, persistently identified with Krishna throughout the Mahabharata without any very satisfactory reason being stated—or with some other town near Mathura, since destroyed?

Now this same Herakles is a figure of wonderful interest. We must remember with regard to the period of which we are now thinking, that Greece was but the remotest province of the Central Asiatic world, and in that world the youngest child of history. Her myths and religious systems had chiefly a central Asiatic origin, and Herakles of Mediterranean fame was doubtless pre-eminently of this order. Probably little ever finds its way into literature of the human significance to human souls of any given religious system, or more particularly of the ideas connected with an ancient god or hero. We may depend upon it that Herakles

Nor can you look into their gardens by rea- son of the fortifications ; though you frequently see an elevated sign at the corner, requesting you to take notice that "Man Traps" are placed there.

The houses in the city, even if they enjoy ten feet of rear ground, suffer the inconvenience of dark, con- fined air by reason of high walls, the tops of which are usually cemented with broken glass bottles — I do not say to guard against their neighbours.

The security of the house in which I reside is guar- antied in the following manner. The door has a double lock, a chain and two bolts, beside an alarum bell, which is carefully fixed to the pannel every night. A watchman, if he does his duty, passes by the door once in thirty minutes. Another watchman is stationed in the yard and doomed to perpetual im- prisonment with a chain round his neck.

This wariness is perhaps as necessary in London, as the guarded circumspection in wording, and the various formality of executing, a deed. But there is another caution, though in appearance much of the same complexion, which does the people infinite honour. I refer to the christian part of the commu-

 86 FOOTFALLS OF INDIAN HISTORY of Hellas, when he was worshipped by the common folk, had more in him of the Christ who saves, more of the Krishna, lover of man, than any of us now could easily imagine.

It may be that Krishna slaying the tyrant of Mathura forms but another echo of some immeasurably ancient tale, held by future nations in common, ere the Asian tablelands or the Arctic home had poured down new-born breeds of man on the coasts of Greece and river-banks of India. So at least must it have seemed to Megasthenes, making up his despatches for Seleukos Nikator. And 700 years go by, it appears, before a Gupta emperor, who has just annexed Western India with its capital of Ujjain, commissioned the editing anew of the national epic of the north, causing it to teach that this Cliso —Kriso—Krishna of the Jumna is no other than a certain Partha-Sarathi, known this long while to Northern and Vedic India as the exponent to his disciples of all the secrets of the Upanishads. Are we to take it that the Aryan teacher cries, "Whom ye ignorantly worship. Him declare I unto you" to the tribes whom he fain would Hinduise?

Readers of the Bhagavata Purana will note that the Jumna life, that is to say, the Heraklian element in the story of Krishna, is crowded into his first twelve years and that after this he is represented as being sent to learn the Vedas. That is to say, it is at this point that he is Hinduised as the Incarnation of Vishnu. Obviously, after this had

 lucidly the meaning of the term 'Madu' which designates wealth. Gold and diamonds which are characterised as ordinary wealth may fade away but the value of the 'Madu' will not be such. Among the Aryans there prevailed the custom of the sacrifice of a cow during the celebration of Yagas and this convention lessen the importance of the value of the cattle as wealth to the Aryans. But the Tamilians have nothing but aversion to such a custom and a great Tamil literary poet by name Valluvar in his 'Kural' has condemned the custom of sacrificing animals during Yagas.

To the Tamilians the main source of income was agriculture. Since the development of agri- culture is closely connected with the proper up-keep of the cattlem the Tamilians protected the cattle. In the Saivite literary works like 'Theva- ram' and 'Thiruvasagam,' the word 'Madu' is familiarly and frequently used to designate the 'cattle' as wealth. One of the great Saiva Saints by name Appar has rightly asserted that people should not be actuated by any desire to possess worldly things. Materialistic outlook on life should be completely eradicated. This saint uses the word 'Madu' to indicate worldly riches. He says
