MANSION.

only too well, rushed between, and bade him stand aside, in God’s name, for that the mar- riage vow separated him from me forever. The door shut with a clang and I was alone and perishing.

When I began to recover, I was feebler than achild. Weeks went by, even after this, before I could leave my room. At last, about the mid- dle of autumn, I found myself comparatively re- stored to health.

But what a prospect there was in the future! I knew not, in all the world, a friend to whom I could apply. My funds were exhausted. The winter would soon be at hand, and it was a win- ter of which the most terrible forebodings were everywhere entertained; for commercial and manufacturing distress were universal. Since I had been struck down, by illness, one of those financial crises which occasionally devastate the nation had occurred: thousands of the rich had become poor; starvation stared the multitude in the face.

By chance, one day, when reduced to nearly the last extremity of despair, I saw an advertisement, in a daily paper, which I had borrowed to read. It ran as follows:

Wanted.—A governess to take charge of two small children. Apply at Hemlock Farm, near the Poplar Station, on the Ridge railroad.

A sudden hope filled me. I would expend what little money I had, in going to this place; for I reasoned that its distance would preclude many applications; and so my chance of success would be increased. It was the first time, too, the advertisement had been inserted; and if I set out, at once, I might anticipate all others. In five minutes I was on my way to the railroad office, where I learned that Poplar Station was about fifty miles distant, and that the afternoon train would start in an hour. I determined to go that day.

Before long, therefore, I was rushing along the side of a beautiful river, the western sun gilding its wooded heights and shimmering on its placid waters. The towns and factories, Seattered at intervals on either shore, shot past like white wreaths of smoke. Now we dashed through a dark tunnel, now crossed the stream in a twinkling on a bridge. The rapid motion Was in unison with the stir’and excitement of my mind. TI looked through the barred windows of the car and blessed the mile-posts as they flew by. I was impatient to be at my journey’s end.

For I now began to fear that some one had anticipated me. There was a morning train, so that any one who had seen the advertisement soon enough, might have had the start of me by several hours. I knew there must be hundreds out of employment, who were quite as competent for the situation. Then I tortured myself with the idea that there might be many in the train I saw more than one whose air and dress gave color to this notion. How T watched, at each station, to see if they got out! When, at last, all had left but one, leaving no other passengers of my sex, except ladies whose dress showed them above the necessity of seeking such a situation, and coarse featured women evidently belonging to the agricultural popula- tion of the German county we were traversing, I sighed with inexpressible relief: a relief only to be understood by those, who have been in fear for their daily bread, and have had those fears quieted temporarily.

I now began to speculate, for the first time, as to the character of the place I was visiting; for, up to this point, such had been my eager- ness to get the start of other applicants, I had not thought of this. Its homely title showed that it was an ordinary farm-house; and from its location, in the heart of a region wholly rural, I concluded the culture of its family was of the rudest. But why need a governess at all? Why not be content with the road-side school? I puzzled myself, for a long while, endeavoring to solve this problem, but to no purpose. T could conjecture nothing, except that one of the children, if not both of them, were half idiotic; that this rendered their attendance at the district school impossible; and hence the necessity of & governess. I knew enough of that section of the state to know that no other circumstance could induce a farmer to resort to so comparatively expensive a method of education. I settled, therefore, that this was the state of the case. I was aware there were plenty of farmers, in that vicinity, rich enough to employ a governess, if compelled to; so there was no difficulty on this account.

I now began to picture to myself the life I should lead. In imagination, I drew a picture of the house and its surroundings. It was an old stone dwelling, probably with a roof green with moss, standing in some low bit of ground, near the river, where the early German settlers always located their habitations, partly to secure a more abundant supply of water, partly because of the richer soil in the bottoms. It hag, near it, a stone barn, a huge edifice, more than four times as large as itself, bursting with abundant crops. Close by was a little, low, white-washed spring-house, with a solitary willow drooping

The position of each of these points depends on three co-ordinates, which produce nine indeterminate quantities; but the mutual distances of the three points being given and invariable, we may, by means of them, reduce these quantities to six others, which, substituted in the equation (l) [110"], will introduce six arbitrary variations; putting their coefficients equal to nothing, we shall have six equations, which will contain all the conditions of the equilibrium of the system; we shall now develop these equations.

Rh Jess saw the words before her in dancing, rain-drop letters. They seemed to beckon her on, and in a few minutes she was at the cottage, just at the "elbow" of Whiffle Street, and came breathlessly into the kitchen.

The room was empty, and the fire in the stove was but a spark. Jess tiptoed to the sitting-room door and peered in. Her mother, wearing an ink-stained jacket, was busy at her desk, the pen scratching on the big sheets of pad paper. The typewriter was open, too, and the girl could see that the title and opening paragraphs of a new story had already been written on the machine.

"Genius burns again!" sighed Jess, and went back to remove her damp hat and jacket, and replenish the fire. Mother would want some tea by and by, if she worked late into the evening, and Jess drew the kettle forward.

She stood her umbrella behind the entry door, and removed her overshoes and put them under the range to dry. She had scarcely done so when a stumbling foot sounded on the porch. She opened the door before the visitor could knock, so that Mrs. Morse would not be disturbed.

"Why, Mr. Chumley!" she exclaimed, recognizing the withered little man who stood there.

"Oh! you're home, are ye?" squeaked the

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chumley," said Jess, hastily. "But you know how mother is when she's busy. She hears nothing."

"Humph!"

"Won't you come in?" hesitated Jess, still holding the door. The rent was not due for a day or two, and he usually gave them a few days' grace if they did not happen to have it right in the nick of time.

"I guess I will," squeaked the landlord.

He was a little whiffet of a man—"looked like a figure on a New Year's cake," Bobby Hargrew said. His mouth was a mere slit in his gray, wrinkled face, and his eyes were so close together that the sharp bridge of his nose scarcely parted them.

Some landlords hire agents to attend to their property and to the collection of rents. Not so Mr. Chumley. He did not mind the trouble of collecting, and he could fight off repairs longer than any landlord in town. And the one-half of one per cent. collection fee was an item.

"Think I've come ahead of time, eh?" he cackled, rubbing his blue hands—as blue as a turkey's foot, Jess thought—over the renewed

 “Once more I ask for a moment’s audience, be it this night or be it early to-morrow morning! And still again I do not ask this for myself, but for the cause I advocate, the cause of justice and humanity, which is at the same time the cause of a well-considered policy.

“If Your Excellency’s conscience is at ease about leaving here without hearing me, mine will be clear through the conviction that I have done everything possible to prevent the sad and bloody events that will soon be the consequence of the self-willed ignorance in which the Government is left concerning the things that happen among the population.

Havelaar waited that evening. He waited the whole night.

He had hoped that perhaps anger at the tone of his letter would bring about what he had vainly tried to attain by gentleness and patience. His hope was in vain. The Governor-General departed without having heard Havelaar. Another Excellency had retired to rest in the motherland!

"It isn't handy, Mr. Chumley. We are shorter than usual just now," said Jess, hating the phrase that comes so often to the lips of poverty.

"Well! well! Can't expect money before it's due, I s'pose," said the old man, licking his thin lips. "And I'm afraid ye find it pretty hard to meet your bills at 'tis?" he added, his head on one side like a gray old stork.

Jess flushed and then paled. What had he heard? Had that Mrs. Brown, in the grocer's shop, told him already that Mr. Closewick had refused to let her increase the bill? The girl looked at him without speaking, schooling her features to betray nothing of the fear that gripped her heart.

"Hey?" squeaked Mr. Chumley. "Don't ye hear well?"

"I hear you, sir," said Jess, glancing quickly to make sure that she had closed the door tightly between the kitchen and the room in which her mother was at work.

"Well, I'm willin' to help folks out—always," said Mr. Chumley, his withered cheek flushing. "If you're finding the rent of this

202 Thus 66 paid teachers receive in all rupees 411-4-6, averaging to each rupees 6-6-1 per month. Of the unpaid teachers, one not only instructs gratuitously, but also gives his scholars food and occasionally clothes; three support themselves by farming, of whom two are in possession of lakhiraj land, and of these one is a retired darogha, a fifth gains his livelihood as a mulla, a sixth instructs gratuitously from religious motives, and the object of the seventh was to keep in recollection his former acquirements. Of the paid teachers, a few only are dependent upon individual patrons, and those patrons are both Hindus and Musalmans; several of the scholars of these salaried teachers receive gratuitous instruction.

There are in all ten school-houses, of which one was built at the expense of the teacher, two by the subscriptions of the parents, and seven by private individuals, either from general motives of benevolence, or with a view to the advantage of their owa children. One teacher instructs his scholars from house to house, and the remainder find accommodation for their scholars in kachharis, mosques, and especially baithak-khanas.

In 73 schools there are 490 scholars, averaging 6.7 to each school. The number of Persian students is 485 and of Arabic 5. Of the Persian students 240 are Musalmans and 245 Hindus, and the Arabic students are all Musalmans. The average age of the Persian scholars at the time the schools were visited was 13.5 years, and of the Arabic scholars 18.4 years. The following are the castes of the Persian scholars who are Hindus and the number of each :—

In addition to nearly all the works already enumerated, the following are included in the course of Persian reading in this district, viz., Amadnameh on the conjugation of verbs; the formal reading of the Koran; Tutinameh, or tales of a parrot; Ruqaädt-i-Alamgir, the correspondence of Alamgir; Insha-i-Yusafi, forms of epistolary correspondence; Mulatafa, a collection of letters exhibiting different styles of penmanship; Toghra, an account of Cashmir; and the poems of Zahir, of Nasir Ali, and of Sayib.

The only additional work in Arabic employed as a school-book in this district is the Munshdaäb on Arabic conjugations.

In this district there are 3 schools in which nothing more than the formal reading of the Koran is taught as described in

"But, Mr. Chumley! we've lived in this cottage of yours ever since I can remember. We've paid you a lot of rent. You surely are not going to increase it now?"

"I am, after December, Miss Josephine," declared Mr. Chumley. "I gotter do it. Beginnin' with January first your mother will have to pay three dollars more each month. You kin tell her that. I'm giving you a month's warning."

"I ain't sayin' nothing about putting you out, though your mother ain't as sure pay as some others. She's slow. And she's a woman alone. Hard to git your money out of a widder woman. No. She can stay if she pays the three dollars increase. Otherwise, I got the cottage as good as rented right now to another party."

Rh "It isn't due yet, Mr. Chumley," Jess said, undecided whether to "get mad" or to cry!

"Well Hello! who's these?"

There was another clatter of footsteps upon the porch as old Mr. Chumley opened the outer door. Jess looked past him and saw a female and a male figure crowding into the entry. For a moment she recognized neither.

"That's the girl!" exclaimed the woman, and her voice was sharp and excited.

"Hello!" muttered Mr. Chumley, and stood aside. "Here's young Vandergriff."

Jess looked on, speechless with amazement. She now recognized Griff, and the woman with him was the fashionably attired lady who had stood beside Jess at the counter in the butter and egg store.

"Miss Jess! Miss Jess!" exclaimed Griff, quickly. "Did you open your umbrella on the way home?"

"I—I"

"Stupid!" exclaimed the woman.

"Why, Griff, I didn't open it."

"And you haven't opened it yet?"

"Why—no," admitted the puzzled Jess.

"Where is it?" cried the young man. "Now, you wait, Mrs. Prentice. I know it will be all right."

 Yes, I, Multatuli, “who have borne much,” take up the pen. I make no apology for the form of my book. That form appeared to me suitable for the attainment of my object.

That object is twofold:

In the first place I wished to give existence to a thing that may be kept as a sacred heirloom by little Max and his sister, when their parents shall have perished from want.

I wished to give those children a patent of nobility from my own hand.

And in the second place: be read.

Yes, I be read! I will be read by statesmen who are obliged to watch the signs of the time by ' who “also just want to have a look” at the book of which everyone says such unpleasant things  by traders who are interested in coffee-sales  by ladies’ maids who will hire me for a couple of pence  by Governor-Generals in peaceful retirement  by Ministers in occupation  by the lackeys of these “Excellencies”  by praying parsons who will say ' that I attack the Almighty God, where I only rise against the little deity that  made after their own image  by thousands and ten thousands of samples of the race of Drystubble, who—continuing to promote their little businesses in the well-known manner—will be the loudest to shriek with others about the “prettiness” of my writings  by the members of the Houses of Representatives, who have to know what is going on in the great Empire beyond the sea, which belongs to the Realm of the Netherlands.

Yes, I be read!

When this object is attained, I shall be satisfied. For it was not my desire to write  I wanted to write in such a way as to be heard. And like one who cries: “Stop thief!” and who troubles little about the style of his improvised address to the public, so also I am quite indifferent as to the manner in which people will consider that I have yelled my “Stop thief!”

At last Jess understood. She started forward and her face flamed.

"Oh!" she cried. "Did you lose that silver mesh purse?"

"You see! She remembers it well enough," said the woman.

"I could scarcely forget it. You laid it on the counter between us. And it was heavy with money," said Jess.

"Now, wait!" cried Griff, interposing, while old Chumley listened eagerly, his little eyes snapping. "Did you set your umbrella aside without opening, it, Miss Morse?"

"Yes, I did," repeated Jess.

"And you had it hanging by the hooked handle on the edge of the counter right beside this lady, didn't you?"

"Yes, I did."

"I saw it. It's just like a story book!" laughed Griff. "Get the umbrella, Miss Morse. I knew it would be all right"

"I am not convinced that it is 'all right,' as you say, young man," spoke Mrs. Prentice, eyeing Jess's flushed face, suspiciously.

"Get it from behind the door there, Griff,"

" it is! here's the umbrella!" squeaked the officious Mr. Chumley, coming out from behind the entry door, where he had been listening.

All three of them—Jess, Griff, and the excited loser of the purse—reached for the umbrella; but Griff was the first.

"Hold on!" said he to the landlord. "Let me have that, sir. The purse was lost in our store. We're just as much interested in the matter as anybody."

"I fail to see that, young man," said Mrs. Prentice, tartly.

She was not naturally of a mean disposition; but she was excited, and the explanation Griff had given her of the loss of the purse had seemed to her unimaginative mind "far-fetched," to say the least.

The boy half opened the umbrella and turned it over. Crash to the floor fell the purse, and it snapped open as it landed. Out upon the lino-

Rh leum rolled the glistening coins—several of them gold pieces—that Jess had noted so greedily in the egg store.

"What did I tell you?" cried Griff, looking at Mrs. Prentice.

That lady only exclaimed "Oh!" very loudly and looked aghast at the rolling coins. Jess half stooped to gather up the scattered money. Then she thought better of it and straightened up, looking straight into the face of the owner of the purse.

But old Mr. Chumley could not stand the lack of interest the others seemed to show in what—to him—was the phase of particular importance in the whole affair. There was real money rolling all over the Widow Morse's kitchen. He went down on his rheumatic old knees and scrambled for it. Mr. Chumley worshipped money, anyway, and this was a worshipper's rightful attitude.

"My, my, my!" he kept repeating. "How careless!"

But Mrs. Prentice's expression of countenance was swiftly changing. She flushed deeply—much more deeply than had Jess; then she paled. She picked up Mr. Chumley's phrase, although she allowed the old man to pick up the money.

"I certainly have been careless," she said. "

 “I am come, my lord, to inform you that the Earl, your father, died a month since.”

The blue eyes widened, grew of a sudden hard, and narrowed again.

“Is that really so? Well, well! Apoplexy, I make no doubt?”

The lawyer’s lips twitched uncontrollably.

“No, Master Jack; my lord died of heart failure.”

“Say you so? Dear me! But will you not be seated, sir? In a moment my servant will have induced the chef to serve dinner. You will honour me, I trust?”

The lawyer murmured his thanks and sat down on the settle, watching the other with puzzled eyes.

The Earl drew up a chair for himself and stretched his foot to the fire.

“Six years, eh? I protest ’tis prodigious good to see your face again, Mr. Warburton. … And I’m the Earl? Earl and High Toby, by Gad!” He laughed softly.

“I have here the documents, my lord. …”

Carstares eyed the roll through his quizzing glass.

“I perceive them. Pray return them to your pocket, Mr. Warburton.”

“But there are certain legal formalities, my lord”

“Exactly. Pray do not let us mention them!”

“But, sir!”

Then the Earl smiled, and his smile was singularly sweet and winning.

“At least, not until after dinner, Warburton! Instead, you shall tell me how you found me?”

“Mr. Richard directed me where to come, sir.”

“Ah, of course! I had forgot that I told him my—pied-à-terre when I waylaid him.”

She stepped forward and opened her arms to Jess. She was not only a well dressed lady, but she was a handsome one, and her smile, when she chose to allow it to appear, was winning. The anger and indignation Jess had felt began to melt before this apology and the lady's frank manner.

"I—I suppose it was a natural mistake," stammered Jess.

"Not if she'd known you, Miss Jess," Griff said, quite sharply for him. "Nobody who knew you or your mother would have accused you of taking a penny's worth that didn't rightfully belong to you."

Jess, whose heart was still sore from the blow she had received at Mr. Closewick's grocery, thought this was very kind of Griff. And they owed his father, too! If there were tears standing in her eyes they were tears of gratitude.

"You see, my dear," said the lady, her voice very pleasant indeed now, "I did not know you as well as young Mr. Vandergriff seems to."

"We—we go to school together," explained Jess, weakly, and found herself drawn into the arms of the lady.

East European Quarterly, Vol. XV, No. 1

František Palacký has exercised an enormous influence on Czech political as well as scholarly and intellectual development. This paper aims to delineate and evaluate his enduring political influence in at least four respects. He directly influenced his own and succeeding generations by his statesmanlike personal example and by origniating and advocating specific political programs and policies. Immediately and in the long run he indirectly conditioned Czech politics through the laws and self-governmental institutions that he helped establish in the 1860s and most importantly through his political ideals and interpretations of Czech history.

For most Czechs, Palacký set a positive example as a patriotic and intellectual statesman, whose character, aspirations, and peasant origins very much typified those of the liberal Czech intelligentsia and upper middle class. Born in 1798 to a literate and fairly prosperous family of Protestant Moravian peasants, he had by 1848 won recognition abroad and at home as a distinguished scholar and as the principal political spokesman of his people. In doing so, he set an example to which many upwardly mobile Czechs could aspire. Moreover, Czechs from all walks of life could identify with, if not emulate his achievements and also appreciate his having resurrected the national past and helped acquire international recognition for the nation.

Palacký’s continuing political influence also owes much to the fact that he was the first Czech to define a comprehensive national political program as well as the first to be acknowledged internationally as a political leader. That program, based on historic Bohemian state-rights (České státní právo), sought autonomy for the three Czech lands–Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia–within the framework of a reformed and federated Habsburg Monarchy. Palacký’s efforts to advance civil liberties and national autonomy during the tumultous years from 1848 through 1851 and during the eleven years of constitutional crisis after 1860 may be seen as the logical continuation of his scholarly contributions to the Czech national revival during the Vormärz. More than any other Czech, he and Karel Havlíček directed that national revival toward political as well as

Rh Mr. Chumley rose up with a grunt and a groan; he had the purse and all the coins.

"Very careless! very careless!" he repeated. "And here is nearly a hundred dollars, madam. Think of carelessly carrying a hundred dollars in a silly purse like that! It is astonishing"

Mrs. Prentice had implanted a soft little kiss on Jess's forehead and shaken her a little playfully by both shoulders.

"Don't you bear malice, my dear," she whispered. Then she turned briefly to the old man.

"You're very kind, I'm sure," she said, taking the purse into which Mr. Chumley had crammed the money. "Thank you."

"Money comes too hard for folks to scatter it around," complained the landlord.

Mrs. Prentice seemed to be much amused. "I should be more careful, I suppose. I presume, now, I ought to count it to see if—if you gathered it all up, sir?" she added, her eyes dancing.

A little breath of red crept into the withered cheeks of the miserly old man. "Well, well!" he ejaculated. "One can't be too careful."

"I presume not," said the lady.

"And if the gal had known the money was there she might have been tempted, ye see."

Jess flushed again and Griff looked angry; but Mrs. Prentice said, coolly:

32 "Were you tempted, sir? Perhaps I had better count my money, after all?"

"Ahem! ahem!" coughed the old gentleman. "Perhaps you don't know who I am? There is a vast difference between me—my condition, I mean—and the gal and her mother."

"Ah! Do you think so?" asked Mrs. Prentice, and then turned her back upon him. "I should like to know you better, my dear—and your mother. I hope you will show me that I am really forgiven by allowing me to call some dayOh! I couldn't face your mother now. I know just how I would feel myself if I had a daughter who had been accused as I accused you. I certainly need to take care—as our friend here says."

"I am sure mother would be pleased to meet you," stammered Jess.

"You know, I am Mrs. Prentice. My brother-in-law, Patrick Sarsfield Prentice, is editor and proprietor of the Centerport Courier."

Jess's interest was doubly aroused now. So this was the rich Mrs. Prentice, whom they said really backed Centerport's newest venture in the newspaper field?

"My mother has met Mr. Prentice—your brother-in-law," she said, diffidently. "You know, mother writes. She is Mary Morse."

"That—that is all right, Mrs. Prentice," returned the girl.

Griff called back goodnight to her over his shoulder. And at the gate he parted from the lady whose carelessness had made all the trouble.

"That's just what I told you, Mrs. Prentice," he said. "They're all right folks, those Morses. Yes, Mrs. Prentice, I'll remember to send all those things you ordered over in the morning—first delivery," and he went off, whistling.

 cultural and economic goals. Beginning in 1848, Palacký served for a quarter century as the principal Czech spokesman in dealings with the Habsburgs or with political allies and opponents. He either authored or co-authored all important declarations of Czech political aims, from those of 1848 and 1849 to the rescript of 1871. These he further clarified by publishing timely political essays and by delivering policy speeches to imperial assemblies in 1848 and 1849 and after 1860 to the Bohemian diet or the upper house of the Reichsrat.

Czechs have honored Palacký for political as well as intellectual and moral leadership, not only by word and deed but by large public festivals often designed to demonstrate national solidarity as well as to commemorate Palacký’s achievements. This occurred at the celebration of his seventieth birthday in June, 1868, that coincided with the laying of the cornerstone of the Czech National Theatre to be built by popular subscription and with the holding of tábory (mass open air assemblies) that demonstrated for Bohemian state-rights and greater civil liberties. Political overtones also appeared at the international convocation of June, 1898, in Prague to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of Palacký’s birth. At the same time, twenty-two years after his death, the Czechs commemorated the fiftieth anniversaries of the Prague Slav Congress, the revolutions of 1848, and the abolition of serfdom and the manorial system. In 1898, the Czechs also were beginning to recover from a serious political defeat sustained when German riots prompted imperial withdrawal of the 1897 Badeni language ordinance requiring all civil servants in the Czechs lands to be able to read and write Czech as well as German. In 1898, the Czechs not only honored Palacký’s many positive contributions to knowledge, national welfare, and Slavic solidarity, but also noted how far they had to go to accomplish those objectives he had helped delineate thirty to fifty years before. In commemorating in 1926 the 50th anniversary of Palacký’s death, many Czechs regarded the recently established Czechoslovak Republic as the logical culmination of Palacký’s scholastic and political endeavors.

Palacký, like most Czechs of his and later generations, by no means regarded political success as the measure of all things. After all, the Czech national revival initially encouraged economic growth and achievements in scholarship, the arts, and letters. During the Vormärz and again during the fifties, two periods when the Habsburgs curtailed civil liberties and popular participation in public affairs, Palacký by example and exhortation urged Czechs to advance individual achievement and public welfare through intellectual, artistic, and commercial endeavor. He also supported those

would have turned away from the gate of the Morse cottage and gone her homeward way, too, had she not heard a cackling little "ahem!" behind her. There was the wizened Mr. Chumley right on her heels.

"Very fortunate escape—very fortunate escape, indeed," said the landlord.

"It was," agreed the repentant lady, "I might have gone farther and done much worse in my excitement."

"Oh, no," said he. "I mean it was fortunate for the girl—and her mother. Of course, they've got nothing, and had the money really been missing it would have looked bad."

Mrs. Prentice eyed him in a way that would have made a person with a thinner skin writhe a little. But Mr. Chumley's feelings were not easily hurt.

"You evidently know all about those people?" said the lady, bruskly.

"Oh, yes. They've been my tenants for some

 private philanthropic, patriotic, and cultural associations by which Czechs collectively worked to further national revival and prepare for the day when imperial laws would authorize limited civil liberties and popular political activity. Despite imperial censorship of his and other patriotic writings and the imprisonment of many contemporaries, Palacký confidently expected that his countrymen would ultimately obtain more national autonomy and civil rights within a federated Habsburg Monarchy. His having worked patiently and intelligently toward these goals in trying times surely encouraged his fellow countrymen in similar circumstances to do likewise.

Palacký’s political influence after 1876 also owed much to the fact that he had for more than three decades led the Czech people toward greater national autonomy and individual freedom with wisdom, prudence, and courage. His conduct of politics from 1848 to 1876 appeared wise to posterity, in large part because he based that conduct upon clearly defined goals, thorough knowledge of political circumstances, and a keen sense of historical development. This conduct was also wise to the extent that he delineated political objectives for the Czech nation compatible with those of other small nations seeking to achieve some measure of national emancipation and social reform. He also tried to base Czech politics on such broad principles as liberalism and the right of each nation to cultivate its best and most unique qualities in order to contribute to the general well-being of mankind. By conducting Czech politics in accordance with these principles and with the aspirations of other small European nations, Palacký, recognizing that no small nation could or should go it alone, sought to encourage Slavic solidarity and the cooperation of all Europeans in advancing individual and national freedom and achievement. Simultaneously, he thus helped reassure the Czechs that they acted in accordance with powerful and irreversible historical currents in seeking to advance individual rights and national autonomy. In this sense, the Czechs’ confidence by 1876 in their ultimate success appeared especially warranted in light of the recent German and Italian unifications and the rapid advances toward unity and independence made by smaller European peoples, such as the South Slavs, the Irish, the Norweglans, and the Greeks.

Palacký’s political tactics may appropriately be defined as prudent, at least to the extent that he and his National Party colleagues did not act without carefully considering pertinent political circumstances and the possible consequences of any action. These tactics and his notions of what would be politically possible as well as desirable powerfully conditioned middle class and agrarian Czech politics until the disintegration of the Habsburg Monarchy.

"You have been warning them out of the cottage?" asked Mrs. Prentice, quickly.

"Not just that," said the old man, rubbing his hands together as though he had an imaginary cake of soap between them and was busily washing the Morse affair from his palms. "You see, I've told them I shall be obliged to increase their rent at New Year's."

"What do they pay you now?"

Mr. Chumley told her frankly. He wasn't ashamed of what he took for the renting of that particular piece of property. In a business way, he was doing very well, and business was all that mattered with Mr. Chumley.

"But that's better than I can get for the same sort of a cottage in this very vicinity," exclaimed Mrs. Prentice.

"Ah! these agents!" groaned Mr. Chumley, shaking his head. "They never will do as well as they should for an owner. I found that out long ago. If I was a younger man, Mrs. Prentice, I would take hold of your property and get you twenty-five per cent. more out of it."

"Perhaps," commented the lady. "And you intend to raise the rent on these people?"

"Is it true that Mrs. Morse writes for a living?"

"I don't know what sort of a livin' she makes. Foolish business. She'd better take in washing, or go out to day's work—that's what she'd better do," snarled the old man. "This messin' with pen, ink, an' a typewriter an' thinkin' she can buy pork an' pertaters on the proceeds"

"Perhaps she doesn't care for pork and potatoes, my friend," laughed the lady, eyeing Mr. Chumley whimsically.

But a flush had crept into the old man's withered cheek again. He was on his hobby and he rode it hard.

"Poor folks ain't no business to have finicky idees, or tastes," he declared. "They gotter work. That's what they was put in the world for—to work. There's too many of 'em trying to keep their hands clean, an' livin' above their means. Mary Morse is a good, strong, hearty woman. She'd ought to do something useful with her hands instead of doing silly things with her mind."

Rh "So she writes silly things?"

"Stories! Not a word of truth in 'em, I vum! I read one of 'em once," declared Mr. Chumley. "Widder Morse wants to ape these well-to-do folks that live 'tother end o' Whiffle Street. Keeps her gal in high school when she'd ought to be in a store or a factory, earnin' her keep. She's big enough."

"Do you think that's a good way to bring up girls—letting them go to work so early in life?"

"Why not?" asked the old man, in wonder. "They kin work cheap and it helps trade. Too much schoolin' is bad for gals. They don't need it, anyway. And all the fal-lals and di-does they l'arn 'em in high school now doesn't amount to a row of pins in practical life. No, ma'am!"

"But do these Morses have such a hard time getting along?" asked Mrs. Prentice, trying to bring the gossipy old gentleman back to the main subject.

"They don't meet their bills prompt," snapped the landlord. "Now! here I was in the house to-night. I suggested that the gal pay the rent for December; it'll be due in a day or two. And she didn't have it. They're often late with it. I have to come two or three times before I get it, some months. And I hear they owe the tradesmen a good deal."

"How's that?" demanded Mr. Chumley, with his cupped hand to his ear as though he could not believe his own hearing.

The lady repeated her remark.

"There you go! You're another of them folks that waste their substance. I could see that by your keerless handlin' of money," croaked Mr. Chumley. "The Widder Morse don't need help—she needs sense, I tell ye."

"And do you know what you need, Mr. Chumley?" asked the lady, suddenly, and with some asperity.

"Heh?"

"You need charity! We all need it. And we've gossiped enough about our neighbors, I declare! Good night, Mr. Chumley," she added, and turned off through the side street toward her own home, leaving the old man to wend his own way homeward, wagging his head and muttering discourteous comments upon "all fool women."

morning old Jack Frost snapped his fingers and the whole world was encased in ice. The sidewalks were a glare, the trees, and bushes, to their tiniest twig, were as brittle as icicles, and a thin white blanket had been laid upon the lawns along Whiffle Street.

It was the first really cold snap of winter. Chet Belding came clumping down to breakfast that Saturday morning.

"Skating shoes!" exclaimed his sister, Laura. "What for, Sir Knight?"

"I bet a feller can skate in the street—on the sidewalk—almost anywhere this morning," declared Chet, with enthusiasm.

 inexperience and weakness, and recognition of constraints imposed by an authoritarian constitutional monarchy led Palacký in January, 1861, to ally with the party of conservative great landowners, at that time the only powerful political force favoring greater autonomy for the historic Czech lands. He did so, recognizing that that party upheld ideals and interests more often than not incompatible with those of most Czechs, especially peasants or workers of little property or education. Palacký and Rieger nonetheless found this alliance necessary in obtaining a majority of votes in the Bohemian Diet on certain issues and in trying to wring concessions from the imperial authorities. Prudence and a sense of the possible also helped dictate Palacký’s expression of Czech demands for greater political autonomy in terms of historic Bohemian state-rights, on the theory that the crown would be more likely to restore what it had once taken away than to make political concessions on the basis of any natural rights of man or of small nations. Bohemian state-rights based on historical precedent also, in Palacký’s opinion, reminded Czechs of that glorious past from which they derived a sense of nationl identity and confidence concerning the future. But prudence, more than that precedent, required that party programs be based upon existing laws and institutions and phrased in terms that did not frighten the Habsburgs, even though Palacký viewed that dynasty as an episode in the histories of peoples who long predated and would long outlive it. Indeed, so long as the Czechs kept this in mind and maintained self-governmental institutions and a liberal state-rights program, they did not need to fear making small day-to-day compromises with the Habsburgs.

By deed as well as by word, Palacký argued that the advancement of Czech interests at times required courageous and principled action, as well as clearly enunciated principles, prudent conduct, and a keen sense of historical continuity. At moments of great danger or opportunity, the Czechs had to have the courage to act decisively on the basis of principle instead of expediency. This he did on several occasions, notably in sending his famous open letter to the Frankfurt Vorparlament of 1848, in attending the 1867 Slavic Ethnographic Congress in Moscow, and by having with Rieger brought the Czech question to French attention before and during the Franco-German War. All three acts aroused strong Habsburg and Austrian German disapproval and led to Palacký being denounced for “Panslavism” or for meddling in foreign policy, whose management remained the prerogative of the crown. By these actions, Palacký may temporarily have set back the Czech national movement to the extent that more imperial officials became prejudiced against it and its leaders. But, at the

"Yes, ma'am!" said Chet, meekly.

"What kind of language is this that you bring to our table? Your grandmother certainly was honorable"

"That's an imitation of the stilted expressions of the Japs and Chinks," interrupted Chetwood. "Thought you'd like it. It's formal, abounds in flowery expressions, and may not be hastened. Quotation from Old Dimple," he added, sotto voce.

"Please leave your grandmother out of it," said Mrs. Belding, severely. "And if you mean Professor Dimp, your teacher at Central High, do not call him 'Old Dimple' in my presence," which showed that Mother Belding's hearing was pretty acute.

"Anyhow," said Chet, "I'm going to try the ice after breakfast. Going to get Lance and we'll have some fun. Better get your skates, Laura."

"No. I'm going to the store with father—if we don't both tumble down and roll to the bottom of the hill at Market Street, like Jack and Jill," laughed his sister.

"Teams can't get over the asphalt this morn-

42 ing," said her brother. "We can coast clear to the elbow, I bet you."

He hurried through his breakfast and some time after Laura and her father started for the jewelry store, in which the girl had certain Saturday morning tasks to perform, the voices of Chet and his friends awoke the echoes of the street as they skated on the asphalt.

Whiffle Street was an easy slope toward the elbow, where Jess Morse and her mother lived. Although the keen wind blew pretty strongly right up the hill, when Laura and her father started for the store the boys were holding hands and in a line that swept the street from curb to curb, sailed gaily down the hill upon their skates.

"That's fun!" exclaimed Laura, her cheeks rosy with the wind, and her eyes sparkling.

"It's just like life," said her father. "It's easy going down hill; but see what a pull it is to get up again," for Chet and his comrades had then begun the homeward skate.

Lance Darby, a fair-haired, rosy-cheeked lad, who was Chet's particular chum, was ahead and he came, puffingly, to a stop just before Laura.

"This is great—if it wasn't for the 'getting back again.' Good-morning, Mr. Belding."

Rh "Why don't you boys rig something to tow you up the hill?" asked Laura, laughing, and half hiding her face in her muff.

"Huh!" ejaculated her brother, coming up, too. "How'd we rig it, Sis?"

"Come on, Mother Wit!" laughed Lance. "You tell us."

"Why—I declare, Chet's got just the thing standing behind the door in his den," cried Laura, her eyes twinkling.

"What?" cried Chet. "You're fooling us. Laura. My snowshoes"

"Not them," laughed Laura, preparing to go on with her father.

"I know!" shouted Lance, slapping his chum suddenly on the back. He was as familiar with Chet's room as was Chet himself.

"Out with it, then!" demanded Chet.

"That big kite of yours. Wind's directly up the hill. We'll get it and try the scheme. Oh, you Mother Wit!" shouted Lance, after Laura. "We're going after the kite."

And that suggestion of Laura's was the beginning of Chet and Lance Darby's "mile-a-minute ice-boat"—but more of that wonderful invention later.

Laura was halted again before she reached Market Street, and her father went on without

"Where were you last night?" cried Laura. "We missed you dreadfully at the M. O. R. house."

"I—I really couldn't come," said her chum, hesitating just a little, for it was hard not to be perfectly frank with Laura, who was always so open and confidential with her. "Mother is so busy—she worked half the night"

"Genius burns the midnight oil, eh?" laughed Laura.

"Yes, indeed. And now I'm about to make her toast and brew her tea, and she will take it, propped up in bed, and read over the work she did last night. Saturdays, when I am home, is mother's 'lazy day.' She says she feels quite like a lady of leisure then."

"But you should have come to the first big reception of the winter," complained her chum.

"Couldn't. But I heard that there was something very wonderful going to happen, just the same," cried Jess.

"What do you mean?"

"About the prize."

TABLE RECEIPTS. A Plum Pudding.-In making a plum pudding, it is best to use grated brewd,instead of ﬂour, as the pudding will then be much lighter. Grate, into an earthen bowl or pan, a half of a large loaf baked the day previously.

Add to it

tho following ingredients :—One pound of Sultana or Va lentin raisins, chopped. If Valentin raisins be used they must ﬁrst be stoned. One pound of currants, carefully cleaned, and well dried. One pound of suct. chopped ﬁne. ﬁne ounce of candied orange peel. and half an ounce of can died lemon peel, cut into small chips. A large tensponful of mixed spice. Of good moist sugar, two or three table spoonfuls, according to taste. Stir the Whole Well together, and then add to it twelve eggs beaten up, a wimglassful of brandy. and as much milk as will make it of a proper con sistence.

If, after the eggs are beaten, some of the milk and

the brandy are put in and beaten up with them, the whole will mix better through the pudding. Tie the bag so as to leave good room for swelling. Be careful to scald the bag W0". just III'PVlOIFIY to using it, and flour it before the pud ding is put in.

Rh "My goodness me! Somebody is a telltale," cried Laura, laughing. "We were not going to spread the news until Monday morning."

Jess told her how the rumor of the prize had come to her ears.

"No use—it's all out, and all over town, if Bobby Hargrew got hold of it."

"But what's Mrs. Mabel Kerrick going to give the two hundred dollars for?"

"Oh, Jess! it's a great scheme, I believe—and it's mine," said Laura, proudly.

"But you don't tell me what it is," cried her chum, impatiently.

"It's to be given for the best play written by a Central High girl, between now and the first of January. Any girl can compete—even the freshies. And then we'll produce it, and get money for the M. O. R. building fund."

"A play!" gasped Jess, her face flushing.

"That's it. And the Lockwood girls are going to try for it—and so's Nell Agnew. Will you, Jess? Just think of two hundred dollars!"

"I am thinking of it," replied her chum. "Oh, Laura! I'm thinking of it all the time."

She said it so earnestly that Laura stared at her in amazement.

"My dear child!" she cried. "Does two hundred dollars mean so much to you?"

OUR GARDEN FOR MAY. Am the beginning of this month, dnhh'a roots should be planted, and they will grow well in any common garden soil. As the plant increases in height it should be well secured to a stake, strong enough to protect it from being blown about by a high wind. Hyacinths that are still in bloom, should have the flowers screened from the heat of the mid-day sun, if it is wished to PI‘C‘SCI‘VO them in full beauty. When hyacinths are past bloom. they should be fully exposed to the weather, except it be severe torrents of rain, which injures them. The American Gardener gives the following directions for the preservation of the bulbs :— “It- is, the practice in Holland to take up the bulbs about a month after the bloom is completely over, in the following

in this month. in order to harden them for their removal to the open air. Water should also be freely given, according to the necessity of the plants. All plants that require shitt ing to larger pots, should now be moved, taking care to fol low our previous directions, and keeping them in the shade till they grow freely. Loosen the earth in the top of the tube and pots, and give new compost to such as had been neglected in April. All Borders and Beds should be kept clear of weeds, but especially so those in which small seedlings are growing. W/N/v-rJJ/(NJN/I/N/IMW
