only visible when rare wind, blowing
from the north, sweeps the shadows
from the waves and though ON many
sunny day have drifted where Its seven
towers should once have stood, yet for
me that wind has never blown, pushing
fore, have strained my eyes In vain.
But this do know, that the crumbling
stones of that ancient Abbey, between
which and the foam fringe OF the ocean,
the town OF seven towers once, ay, now,
stands upon wsve-washed elm, and that
he who looks forth from its shattered
mullions today sees only the marshiand
and the wrinkled waters hears only the
plant OF the circling gulls, and the weary
crying of the sea.
And that Gods anger is not everlasting
and the evil that there Is In men
shall be blotted out, he who doubts may
also learn from the wisdom OF the simple
fisher-folk who dwell about the borders
of the marshland for they will tell him
that on stormy nights there speaks u
deep voice from the sea, calling the oeau
monks to rise from their forgotten graves
and chant q mass for the souls OF the men
of the town of seven towers. Ciothed IN
long glittering white they move with
slowly pacing feet around the Abbeys
grass grown aisies, and the music OF their
prayers is heard above the screaming OF
the storm. And to this also can bear
witness, for have seen the passing OF
their shrouded forms behind the black-
ness of the shattered shafts; have heard
their sweet, sad singing above the waiiing
OF the wind. =,
Thus for many ages have the dead
monks prayed that the men OF the town
of seven towers may be forgiven. Thus,
for many ages yet shall they so pray TIL
the day come when OF their once fair
Abbey not single stone shall stand upon
its fellow; and in that day 1t shall be
known that the anger OF God against the
men o: the town of seven towers has
passed away; and in that day the feet OF
| the waters shall move back and the town
| OF seven towers shall stand again upon the
| dry land.

UNIFORM LEGISLATION.
Meeting of the Commissioners Worry
ing for Its Adoption.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. H.-The annual
meeting of the state commissioners for
the promotion of uniform legislation
throughout the United States was held at
the Cadillac Hotel, just previous TO the
convention of the American Bar Associa-
ton, which opens today. Fifteen states
were represented by the arrivals and 40
delegates responded at the roll call The
list includes many names prominent in
judicial practice and authorship. 5. M.
Cutcheon of Michigan was elected as
temporary chairman and Frederick j.
Stimson of Boston, secretary OF the con-
ference, gave the result OF his visit TO
Washington, in furtberance of bill to
have a national salaried commission APP
pointed with a secretary TO cooperate
with theOommissioner from the states.
The bill was in the judiciary committee.
A committee was appointed to report
upon the expediency of tavoring such a
commission. Secretary Stimson also re-
ported resolution from the Massachu-
setts Legislature asking the conference to
promote the question of uniform hours
OF labor believing that the public inter-
est and the interests of capital and labor
alike will be best subserved by such ac-
tion. The question was referred to spe-
cial committee which will report at the
net meeting of the conference. The vari-
Gus state commissions jointly appropri-
ated $1,000 for preparing an act on COM
mercial law covering the subject OF bills
and notes to be reported at next years
meeting.
Other questions discussed were uniform
form of deeds and how best TO secure
actual legislation by the, states upon the
various commercial laws recommended
by the conference. The change made by
the Massachusetts, Legislature placing the
legal weight OF bushel Of onions at 81
pounds was on the motion of Judge Brew
ster of Connecticut. Then the conference
adjourned.

The affair, at the Kings instance, was
not made public; nevertheless, II gave

that he did not again visit me, nor use
the rooms i had prepared. That later,

would have done so, is probable; but,
alas, with in few months the malice OF
his enemies prevailed over my utmost
precautions, and rob bed me of the best

world now knows, at the corner OF that
very Rue de la Feronnerie which he hac

that the shadowy shapes that you see
with your own eyes on stormy nights,
waving their cleaning arms behind the
ruined buttresses, are but of phosphores-
cent foam, tossed by the raging waves

harmony, cleaving the trouble OF the
night, Is but the aeolian music OF the
wind.
But such are of the blind, who see only
