VISIONS OF HEAVEN.
Most Popular OF All Legends of the
Middle Ages.

Most popular of all the legends of
the Middle Ages is that of the seven
years pilgrimage of the Irish saint
Brendan, the Sindbad of Christianity,
he who set forth in ship with his
companions to seek the Islands of the
Blest upon the actual seas. Though it
is rather the vision of Barintus the
hermit that dwells In the memory,
since it was he who lured st. BrendsE
to the quest by the tale of his own
landing with his nephew on the happy
shores. Eastward in this case also lay
Paradise, IAN island" to quote from
Mr.. Barring Gould, wide and grassy,
and bearing all manner of fruits.
wherein was no night, for the Lord
Jesus Christ was the light thereof." ,"
The two abode there, we are told
a long while without eating or drink
ing-"and when they returned to the
monastery the brethren knew well
where they had been for the fragrance
of Paradise fingered on their garments
for nearly forty days" Fragrance,
light and music are among the chief
characteristics of these visions. 1t
may be recalled now these were also
the frequent accompaniment of
Buddhas transports. AS when, after
he had obeyed the call of the Unseen
Power, and renounced earth's joys
that he might live the divine life, the
air about him was filled with falling
roses, while music, multitudinous as
the roll of waves upon the shore,
sounded in his ears. Or, as when the
whole universe appeared to him like
garden of fragrant blossoms; and a
splendor of light outshone, piercing
even to those very darkest recesse5
which, according to the audacious inn
agery of the east, the united rays of
seven suns would fail to penetrate.
st. Brendan was the uncle of another
notable seer of the seventh century
that century so rich in visionary lore
st. Fursey, who fell, says Bede, into
a trance, and, quitting his body from
evening till cockcrow. was found
worthy to behold the choirs of angels
and to hear the praises which are sung
in heaven" with stray echoes of which
he afterward edited al Christendom.

Booth had fallen on him. but it did not
reach TO the Small Of his Back. All he
wanted was a Chance, and he would make
Otis Skinner look like a Side Order of
Something. He read the Dramatic Papers
and unless he was choked off he arose at
Evening Parties and Recited. Then all the
Girls told him he had Wonderful Talent,
and after he went away they said he was
the jakiest piece of Punk they ever saw.
The Bill Clerk began TO write Letters of
Congratulation to himself and use Powder
on his Face. He forsook the low-down Gro
Gerry Trade and decided to go on the Stage.
He changed his name from Wesley Fink to
Ormonde Dupont and had "Theater"
painted on his Trunk. After that all he
needed, in order to be an Actor, was an
Engagement. He packed up and headed for
the Rialto, with all the Photographs Of
himself and the Notice from the Home Pa
per. The Managers and Agents turned him
down and awe him away and kept him
sitting in. Waiting Rooms for hours at a
time, but they could not drive Ormonde
bach TO the Canned Fruit Business. He
was going to Act, whether or no.
So finally he signed with a Company pre-
senting a Problem Play entitled, "a Wet
Dog" In the First Act he played the part
Of a Man who brought i'm the Trunk. In
the Second Act he had TO walk right out in
the Glare of the Footlights and ask, Did
you Ring?' In the Third Act he was num-
Der four from the Right End. And now all
his old Friends in the Grocery Trade can
say that they know some one who is really
on the Stage.

right Moment often determines a Career.

she was so Touchy hat those who took
long Chances and started in to Chat with
her. had to weigh every Word.
At least a dozen Young Men came fooling
around at different Times, attracted by her
cold Beauty and the fact that she was the
Only Child OF a National Bank. Fan put
the Blue Tag on them one by one. The first
was six hours late in making his Party
Call. and when he came around he found
the Gate nailed up. The second wore his
Dinner Jacket and a Black Tie one Evening
when he should have worn his long Henry
Miller. so Fan wrote to him that he was 90
per cent. Pinky doodle and belonged in a
Lumber Camp. Another was careless
enough to strike a Match and light his
Students Lamp one evening when he was
seeing her Home. She screamed and called
for a Cab. for she held that no True Cen
tlemen would Smoke a Cigarette while
walking with a Lady. A fourth Aspirant
wrote to her on the wrong kind of Paper
and put the Date at the Top instead of the
Bottom. and the Answer that he longed
for never came. a fifth got the wrong

Thus she threw them into the discard as
fast as they bobbed W. One parted his
Hair on the wrong side and another kept
his Hands in his Pockets and another
walked on the off side of her, when they
went up Street.
At last she had checked up the whole
Push and not one would Do. And they were
so Scared of her that when they came near
her Corner they did a little Foot Work to
the other side of the Street.
For eight years she sat with the Lace
Curtains parted, keeping a keen lookout
for old Perfection. She knew that there
were some Real Gentlemen i'm the World,
because she had read about them in Laura
Jean Libbey.
At last she began TO lean against the
chilly Fact that the Tide had gone out and
left her tangled i'm the Sea Weed. So she
went out and put up a Sign in the Front
Yard. Mar wanted. White one preferred. .
