The Bishop Had to Walk.

There is good story told of the
Bishop of London. He had to fulfill
two engagements in one day at some
distance apart. His carriage, which
was to have met him at one station, un-
fortunately went to another, and he
found himself seven miles from the
railway which he wished to use without
a conveyance. The importance of the
occasion was such that he deter
mined to attempt to walk the seven
miles in about seventy-fve minutes.
On the road he met a publican with
conveyance. He begged to be taken to
the nearest railway station, and prom
ised to pay we'll for the vehicle. The
publican objected that he had no license.
The Bishop pleaded emergency, and
at length persuaded the publican to
break the law But | maun have
drink first" said boniface, and at once
entered the house. Returning imme-
diately he declared that on no account
would he go. Subsequently he told the
story to friend Of the Bishops, who
told it to the Bishop again. ''He said
he waur Bishop" explained the pub
lican, 'but my wife spotted him; he
waur an exciseman. Chicago Herald.
