bell at st. Giles's Church, Cripplegate, before
that personsge ushered me urbanely into the
aisle The roof of the building is modern, but
the dark carvings on pulpit and choir indicate
an age of two centuries. I stood at the altar
where Cromwell and Ben johnson were married;
marked the pavement beneath which Fox, the
author of Sc The Book Of Martyrs, is buried
and read the inscription on the Lucy yault--a
family satirized in the character of Shallow,

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY,

Then ANA blushed and arose for she
had been looking behind her, and the light
of the blue taper made the door in the rock,
overhung with roses, appear very distinct
But as they walked hand in hand up the
path, guided by the white rays, she said,
complainingly-
l do not see why that rainbow-light
makes everything so lovely, ifit is not to be
followed. And [ think must be near
sighted, for I could not see any beam shin
ing down among these steep rocks
And l. said Lii, could not have seen
it but for the white taper, which, you know,
make distant things very near. And do
not see why we should have anything love-
ly---any light, or any flowers, slowrs IN the
cave underground. But here they are, and
let us be grateful for them. Look, violets
and lilies on this messy bank and that
lake, how quiet and clear! Let US sit here
and rest awhilev
Now while they sat there, talking very
lovingly, black giant came up to them
suddenly, and seized Lii, and carried her
off without once noticing the shrieks of the
frightened ANA. For hours she lay weep
ing on the ground, hoping her friend would
return, but she did not. At last some one
lifted her up, and she saw the maiden with
the white taper pointing up the path, which
now seemed to lead directly to the roof Of
the cave. She looked up and saw Lili's
face encircled with snowy halo; and in
avoice that sounded like far-away music,
she heard her say
Anna, my father wanted me at home
and sent one of his strong servants to bring
me. My fathers palace is up among the
sunny hills, and you will soon be here your.
self, if you keep in the path, for it leads
straight home r
The face vanished, but ANA saw that the
white beams of the calm maiden's taper all
met in bright spot where it had disap
peared. So she kept her eyes fixed upon
it, and followed the maiden, never turning
aside though many voices called after her
and new paths opened for her in every di
rection.
And one evening, when she was weary
with climbing the roug rocks, she came tt
the mouth of the cave, where fearful
chasm yawned between her and the brigh
hills and pearly palace that stood bathed il
snowy light beyond. As she looked long
ingly over, she heard wings futtering; anc
felt herself borne gently across the chasm
as when she entered the cave. Then fai
angel embraced her, and said
'Thou canst see me now; I am Love
thy Life-angel 1 led Lii to thee, and viii
lead thee to her again. And I VIII teacl
thee, among these glorious hills, why it wa
better in the earth-cavern to follow tn
white torch of Faith, than the rainbow
light of hope, or the dim taper of Memory
