The common belief is that the French
are Celtic race, but, according to Nj.
Riviere, the Celt is not even the largest
element in that mixed race called tho
French. 1t is probable that they derive
much of their artistic faculty from their
savage ancestors in the stone age, who
carved quite artistic designs with a flint
BURN on bones. The genuine Celt does
not appear to be particularly artistic. The
Auvergnats are almost pure Celt and yet
their reputation mainly rests upon their
capacities as cabmen. The true Celt, NJ.
Riviere asserts, is chiefly to be found in a
belt drawn across France from Savoy to
Low Brittany and has not been identified
at all in the United Kingdom. The leu
tonic face and head, says the we'll known
anthropologist NJ. Collignon, is long and
narrow, the Celtic short and broad, while
the Teuton trunk is long and flat compar-
ed with the shortness and breadth of the
Celt's. The genuine Slavs and South Ger
mans are, he thinks, Celts and probably
number among their famous men Goethe,
Bismarck and Schiller. The Celts, like
the Jews, are beginning to claim all the
great men in the worlds history for their
own kindred. Review.

Picking himself up. he would have run
away in some alarm, but a look at the
feet staid him. They were not big
enough to run from, not much larger
than his own. and the shoes had a very
sorry look of age and journeyings.
Rays eyes went with swift compass

quickened. Here was the strongest evil

Ray began to break away the edge of

So he put his breakfast carefully on
the young sleeper's breast and tiptoed
away.
Now. there was n woman sweeping
the steps of 4 house opposite. and she
stared and laughed. but presently she
went indoors. to return with n small
purse, from which she put n coin be-
side the poor boys hand. The man of
the house. glancing across from his
window. sent pair of old shoes. His
daughter stole over and tucked some
stockings inside them.
The time for the chimes was near;
children began to gather. Ray, with a
finger on his lips, met the first group
near the elm.

They came softly and looked and

yond the lilacs in the yard. They were
full of compassion, eager for n waking
that should set some brightness upon
that Swallowed face.
They had all forgotten the chimes,
but they rung out now gloriously.
The sleeper stirred and smiled. Per
haps it was some memory of a moth

in his heart. He sat up. stared about
him in a daZed way and then spread
out his thin hands over his face and
cried.
