And so the feast went on, the guests
practicin'g their gluttonies and their
absurdities, and the guards standing
to their arms round the circuit of the
walls as m9tionless and as stern as
the statues caryen in the white stone
beyond them. But term was put to
the orgie with something of sudden
ness. There was stir at the farther
doorway of the banqueting hall, and
q clash, as two of the guards Joined
their spears across the entrance. But
the man they tried to stop-or per
haps it was to pin-passed them I'M
harmed, and walked up over the pave
ment between the lights and the
groups of feasters. All leaked round
at him; few threw him ribald words;
but none ventured to stop his prog
ress. A few, women chiefly, could
see shuddered as he passed them by,
as though wintry chill had come over
then; and in the end he walked up
and stood in front of Phorenice's d.
van and gazed fixedly on her, but
without DSkirS o-nsisanee.
He was frail old man, with white
hair tumbling on his shoulders and
ragged beard. The mud of wayfaring
hung in clots on his feet and legs.
His wizened body was bare save for
a single cloth wound about his shout
ders and his loins, and he carried in
his hand a wand with the symbol of
our Lord the Sun glowing at its tip.
That wand went to show his caste,
but in no other way could 1 recog-
nize him.
I took him for one Of those ascetica
of the Priests clan, who had for
sworn the steady nurtured life of the
Sacred Mountain, and who lived out
in the dangerous lands among the
burning hills, where there is daily
peril from falling rocks, from fire
streams, from evil vapors, from sud-
den assuring of the ground and from
other movements of those unstable
territories, and from the greater liz

holy gods, and the insecurity of this
frsil earth on which we have our rest
ing place, and so the sojourners there
become chastened in the spirit and
gain power over mysteries which even
the most studious and learned of other
men can never hope to attain.
A silence filled the room when the
old man came to his halt, and
Phorenice was the first to break It.
"Those two guards" she said, in her
clear, carrying voice, ''whO held the
door are not equal to their work. /
cannot have imperfect servants; re-
move them"
The soldiers next in the rank lifted
their spears and drove them home, ard
the two fellows who had admitted the
old man fell to the ground. One
shrieked once, the other gave no
sound; they were clever thrusts both.

UNDER AN UMBRELLA.
ROmicu the Partisan Wit, Forced Hin
Society on n Stranger to
His Sorrow.

Romieu, the famous Partisan wit
was, one day, caught in a shower and
forced to seek refuge in a doorway Of
the opera house. 1t was six o'clock
and he had an engagement in the Cafe
de Paris for that very hour. The rain
fell in torrents. There was no car
riage to be had. He had no umbrellas.
What was to be done? While he was
lamenting his bad luck a gentleman
with a large umbrella passed by.
Romieu was seized with sudden in
spiration. He rushed out and grasped
the stranger by the arm and gravely
installed himself under the umbrellas.

Without giving the stranger time to
express his surprise Romieu ratified

he led the unknown companion to tho

glanced with face of well-feigned

Romieu FASTENED within the cafe
and, amid great laughter, told the adj
venture to his friends. Suddenly one
of them said:
''Your cravat is rumpled."
Romieu turned pale. His pin, val
liable diamond, was gone. On further
examination his purse and watch were
discovered missing. The man with a1
umbrella was piclpocket.

swung to let us pass. And once she
pressed at the corner of a fagstone
