zine, each traveller receives from tho
hostess smiling good night, and q
small paper lantern lighted by n bit of

ing hithcr and thithcr; we look up into
the mysterious arches and windows OF
the monastery standing solemnly ur
there against the night sky, or we look
out and away across the sands to the
sea. Whether below, above or seaward
all is weird and shadowy and dreamy
i'll the light of the August moon, which,
swung low in the sky, looks rcd and
swollen out of it's natural size, and
seems to be dropping carthward. This
moon has witnessed strange scenes in
her time. Far away there where the
bay of Cancale now lies shining once
stood vast oak forests, and therein
Druids celebrated their mysterious rites
and offered their horrible sacrifices. An
ancient rhyming monk of the sixth
century has long sung of this forest,
which bore the name of Scissy. Black
robcd pricstesscs garlanded with vcr-
vain, swinging their lighted torches,
their white arms cleaning in the
streaming light us they swung and
circled among the shadows of the SOM
Der oaks, must have made weird pic
tnre under n moon like this.
Such matters and fancies fill our
minds, and to say that our ouartettc
slept much that night would not be to
tell the truth. The solemn antiquity of
the place made havoc with the nerves
of the man of dates; the poet rhymcd
his thought and set his song a-singing;
the little painter pcrchcd herself in her
easement and caught bits of Il scene in
pastel and the fourth body thought
long upon the historical omclct, and
laid schemes for securing the secret of
its perfection. But lest injustice be
done her. let us say that hers was the
last head of the four to bctakc itself to
sleep; for not until the moon had gone
down into the waves of Cancalc, and
the star tagging after had vanished, did
she disappear from her window. At
last the bats and nightbirds had it to
themsclves-thc mount slept. Nine.
Poular, too, rested from her labors; and
not until the coffee and fresh rolls and
butter were brought to our rooms did
we rise to meet the next days plans.
