went on. They were earnest in their
whisperings and did not see his coming
and his going.
Tomorrow then, Tessa," said Fill
po, "and together to my people. He
will not know, and cannot follow"
eyes, tomorrow And she returned
his kiss and went back to Pietro.
The next morning Pietro was unwell
Nothing serious, he said; his head
ached a little, and he was tired and
needed rest He would stay at home
until the evening, and would then go to
Cazzio's and play dominoes as usual,
and be all right again in the morning
So that day Tessa pushed the organ
about the streets without assistance
But during part of the morning she
rested and talked to Fillipo, who seemed
to have forsaken his barrow to follow
her. Their talk resulted in some agree
ment, for, as he left her he said:
"Then, Tessa, I will be waiting at 8
with the tickets And remember we
must catch the boat, and you must
manage that Pietro is out, and she re-
piled:
81 will get it; he will be at Cazzio's
at s."
At dark she returned to the court,
and, as she passed, Fillipo nodded to
her from the shadow of the corner and
showed two tickets
She climbed up the rickety staircase
to the room she had shared with Pietro.
He was not there; it must be done at
once.
She crossed to the corner near the
window. The board moved easily, and
she felt for the tin box, and found it,
and carried it to the lamp.
The box was very light, and fear
came to her as she opened it and saw
that it was empty save for fold of
dirty paper.
With trembling cngers she undid the
paper, and held it to the lamp and read
the words:
"Goodby, Tessa. have decided not
to wait for the fogs. We will share now
and part. You shall have Fllipo and
1 the money that was here. Goodby,"
written in Pietro's rude scrawl
Fillipo waited long at the corner,
and at last crossed to the house, and,
learning from the woman standing at
the door that Pietro was out, walked up
the stairway and into the room.
Then he, too, read the paper, and
his sorrow was joined to Tessa S.

The Durham Rites.

The Durham Rites speak of great
store of ancient manuscripts possessed
by the house to help the monks in their
study. The "Rites" go on to say how
the store included "the old anncient
written doctors of the church, as other
profane authors, with divers other holie
mems wourbs, so that every one dyd
studye what Doctor pleased them best,
havinge the Librairie at all times to go
and studye in, besydes their carrells. -
From the same Rites" we learn that
IN the dormitory each monk had little
chamber to himself with window, or
bit of window, and in the window a
desk for books, SO that he could study,
if he pleased, in the hours spent in the
dormitOry. Special directions were
given that the monks and novices were
not to be disturbed in their "carrells"
while they were studying.
In their care for education in days
when all training for the young, save
i'll arms and field sports, was compare
lively little thought of. the record of
the monastic orders is an honorable one.
Besides maintaining "song school,,
the more important houses regularly
trained their novices in other learning;
and again, to use the words of the
Durham Rites, "yf tho Master dyd
see that any Of them wcare apte to
learnynge and dyd apple his booke, and
had pregnant wyt withall then the
Master dyd let the Prior have intelli-
gence. Then streighteway after, he was
sent to Oxford to school. Other peo-
pie, too sent their sons to the monks
for education, which was sometimes
given freely and sometimes paid for.
Mention has been made of Oxford.
The Durham College besides the
pupils sent up from the abbey, ad-
mitted regular students. A purely
monastic college as early as A. d. 1888
was founded in Oxford for 3 monks of
st. Peters abbey, Gloucester. This, be-
fore the end of the thirteenth century, de-
veloped into great Benedictine house
Of learning. and Il long list of abbeys
united together to maintain this Bene-
dictine college at Oxford, which flour

SOMETIME, SOMEWHERE.
Unanswered yet? The prayer your lips have
Pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin to fail? Is hope departed ?
And think you all in vain those falling tears
Say not the Father hath not heard our prayer;
You shall have your desire sometime some
where.
Unanswered yet? Though, when you first pre-
sented
This one petition at the Fathers throne
1t seemed you could not wait the time OF ask
ing.
So urgent was poor heart to make it known.
Though years have passed since then, do not
despair;
The Lord will answer you sometime, some
where.
Unanswered yet Nay, do not say ungranted,
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done.
The work began when first your prayer was
uttered
And God will finish what he has begun.
If you will keep the incense burning there
His glory you shall see, sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet Faith cannot be unanswered,
Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock:
Amid the widest storms she stands undauntel /,
Nor quails besore the LOudest thunder shock.
She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer,
And cries! "It shall be done sometime, some
where,-RObeft B7OlORiHQ.

An effective device for the protection
of buildings from fires in adjacent struc
lures has been successfully tested in
Boston. The idea worked out in the ap-
paratus is to maintain sheet Of water
between the fire and the building TO he
protected. This is done by placing Oh
every open side of the building near the
top line of perforated piping for car
rying water. The complete apparatus
consists of a five inch standpipe, ex-
tending over the upper story. From it
runs another pipe around the sides and
front, from 2 u to inches in diameter.
On the front are three revolving sprin-
klers, and one is placed at each exposed
side, in the center. The arms are Of
bronze metal, slightly curved. At each
end of the arms is ball nozzle, such
ss is used by fire departments on regu-
lar hose lines. At the base of the stand
pipe is a Siamese connection for four
lines of three inch hose. At the Boston
test fire department steamer furnished
the power, and for about 10 minutes
poured through the sprinkler delivery
of 1000 gallons a minute, completely
drenching the walls and keeping a con-
tinuous sheet of water from top to bot

DRAWING UP WILLS.

Lawyers Do Not Want Their Names Iden-
titled With the Documents.
That it takes smart man to draw
will is an adage the respect for which
in the legal fraternity is evidenced by
the fact that few lawyers want to furnish
visible evidence of their part in draw
ing up wills. 1t is perfectly easy for
man to hire lawyer to draft his testa
ment, of course, no matter how comph-
Gated its provisions may be- 1t is quite
another thing to get the lawyer to wit
ness it. He will not even allow clerks
III his Office to do so except perhaps
where the client is an old or regular
one. He wants him to go elsewhere to
get the necessary attestations. There are
exceptions to this unwritten rule, it is
true, but it is pretty generally observed.
Lawyers will not SO admit it, y said
one of them, "but the true reason is
they don t care to be identified with the
instrument 1t is about as difficult an
undertaking as lawyer can face to
draw up will where the bequests are
surrounded with conditions that will
close up all loopholes to contest. Most
testators know how they want to dis
pose Of their estates, but it is exceeding
ly hard to express their wishes in a way
that will leave no doubt when subse-
quently disappointed heirs call it into
question. The books TEEN with instances
of the inability of smart men, some of
them distinguished lawyers, to make a
will that will stand under stiff fight.
Lawyers naturally don't want to be as
sociated with a document that may be
pronounced bad, and SO they are unwill-
ing to sign as witnesses or to let their
employees do it. Isuppose it to some ex-
tent argues lack of confidence in their
work. Anyhow the precaution is OF ht-
tie use, for invariably the lawyer VINO
drew it is disclosed in any litigation

Scott undertakes to deny the cor
rectness of my reference to both gold

stitution and shows about as much
respect for the constitution as he

Congress to coin money, and in coin

money expressly sanctioned by the

authority of Daniel Webster, who
was known as the great eXpounder
of the constitution. He declared
that gold and silver constitute the
legal standard of value in this coun

The Democratic State Committee,
at its meeting recently held in the
city of Richmond, decided that it
was unnecessary to bring outside
speakers into Virginia this Fall to
take part in the campaign and its
action is generally commended by
the people of the State. According
to the program mapped out by the
committee, each county must look to
local speakers for whatever is needed
in the line of public speaking. The
Democratic party is expected to or
ganize in each county and to trust
the balance to the character of its
nominees. The election this Fall is
purely State affair and it is not be.
lieved that any good can be accom-
plished by introducing national is
