are eloquent on the insensate course Of

float fresh millions of securities before

In the days OF Bloody Mary the
Protestants of England were sore put
to it to preserve their form of worship
and their heads at the same time.
With the accession of Good Queen
Bess," the gibbet and the stake and
the AK were dreadfully busy with their
life-taking work on the persons OF
loyal Jesuits, especially the priests. Not
only is necessity the mother of inyen-
ton, but emergency brings forth the
man. and so it happened that when
the cruel, relentless emissaries of the
Red Haired Elizabeth were waging
war against all Catholic families, there
rose up TO their succor one Nicholas
Owen, himself a Jesuit.
owen was something OF an architect
and builder and a mighty clever crafts
man; and In those desperate days when
no one knew when there would come
that dreadful knocking on the door
"Open In the Queens name" He de-
voted himself heart and soul to the
work OF building hiding places for fug-
tive priests and secret chambers
where the loyal Catholics might wor-
ship in fair safety. After while.
there was scarcely "A Catholic family

1T was at Hindlip Hall, noble old
English castle. The cunning Nicholas
had worked probably for months rid
ding its thick walls with hidden pass
ageways and chambers until the place
was fairly alive with fugitives bur-
rowing around like rats between the
floors. Then suddenly the royal pur-
suivants swooped down on him.
The authorities had got word OF his
marvellous skill and energy in hiding
fugitives and they proceeded ito coax
him TO divulge the whereabouts OF
many missing priests. But he declined
to buy his life at the cost OF so many
others; so in 1905. we are told, he was
put TO death, having been torn TO
pieces on the rack. martyr TO faith
and friendship. Every once in a while
the dismantlng or remodellng OF an
old manor house or castle reveals some

existence had remained unknown for

fession," writes Arlo Bates in his last
volume on Writing English" gen
orally begins with dreams of future
triumphs, of world wide fame, of
wealth at last approaching, even If not
surprising, the dreams of avarice."
One does not have to read on to know
that Mr.. Bates at least believes the
ending will be generally bitter disap~
polntment. Advice on writing is as hard
to take as advice on any other sub
Ject, but because the writer of this
booker deliverer of this series OF
talks-has given his advice so sanely
ana so evidently out of a rich exper-
renee. his volume should have a wide
reading among those interested in any
fern of written expression. He has
pointed out to the embryo author the
dlf1culties of his profession and. with
the statement that the road to per-
manent reputation and to popular sue
cess are not the same, he has at
tempted to do away with both the
mlrages and the quicksands that con-
stantly beset the young author. Such
a one might say to himself:
Il can make money with my pen, II
IS business like another. should

produce literature: but / see it does

OF a far-off and rather doubtful Ca
naan of art. l will write what people
VIII buy; and l win take my reward

hard cash"
Instead of this stand, however. Mr..
Bates would have the young author
say: 1T is true that If l do the best
l. can in literature l shall be hard nut
to II to pay the butcher and the baker.
The candle-stick maker will dwell in

one woman in ten thousand would think

There is, moreover. the graVest doubt
whether even after I am dead and can
not enjoy ii if it comes. reputation
will crown my work. Yet in spite of all
this, am so constituted that the de-
light of doing my best, the pleasure of
serving my art will make up to me
for all that l forego in choosing to

splashed with mud from the carriage
wheels of the wife of the man whose
rubbish is sold by the million copies
and given away with a popular brand
of soap; l will starve IL it must BE-,
but l will live my own life" Theoret-
ically, this sounds all right. but prac-
tically and actually, it is not better
for man or woman to give up author
ship for some occupation which brings
more material results. One must live
his own life, of course, but curiously
enough, there are many thousands OF
unsuccessful writer's each of whom is
convinced that his is the literary life.

QUEER CALCUTTA BIRDS.
Crows and AdJutant Birds That Do
the Most Important Part of the
Street Cleaning.


A stranger in Calcutta cannot fail to
quickly remark the vast number of
crows that inhabit all parts of the city,
and the tameness of the adjutant birds
"a species of stork-who fearlessly
perambulate its streets. The reason for
this is that both crows and adjutant
birds are protected by law ON account
of their scavenger work.
Probably in no other part of the
world do the crows appear so plump,
impudent and glossy. While their
coats shine as If they received each
morning a polish of backing, their au-
dacity is astonishing. Hither and
thither they ramble over the whole
city, strollng about the porch of the
Viceroy's palace with an air as If they
divided the honors of government with
King Edwards representative, hopping
inquisitively into places of public wor-
ship and invading the homes of rich
and poor, European and native, with
unruffied temerity.
In many of the European houses
spaces are left between the top of the
wall and the roof or ceiling to admit a
current of air in hot weather, and
through these spaces comes Jim Crow
in search of the dining room and a, bet
ter provender than he is likely to pick
up in the gutter. But leave a meal
unguarded for a moment and a good
portion of 1t is likely to be borne off
through one of the ventilators.
1t is in a far more dignified manner
that the adjutant bird goes about his
business. With an distracted mein he
