And the listener was thoroughly en-

an element of the farcical about 1t. In
the brilliant light she could see Lltti-
mer's dark, bitter face and the helpless
amazement on the strong features of

man who had brought the impossible
situation about, was calmly sleeping

The belief that two crows are hap

Alexander the Great was thus saved

the other on the Aern Of his ship. so

Centuries In Building.

Persons who are disposed to grumble
at the length Of time required to finish
public buildings should take heart
from the example Of the Cathedral of
st. Peter in Cologne. Fiat structure
was 632 years in building. 1t was be-
gun in 1913 and was pronounced com,
pleted in 1880. The great Cathedral
Of Milan was begun in 1886 and was
not completed until 1905, 419 years lat
er. ReEtermel castle. in Cornwall. took
ninety years to build, and one-third
of that time was employed In eXcavat'
ing feT the foundation. The hate Lord
Bate was engaged for ever twenty
years in building his great palace In
the isle OF Butte, and his successor Is
still at work on It. The. palace of the
Dukes Of Athell, in Scotland, has been
building since 1880, and the work Is
still going on. In the cases Of the 9th
er buildings mentioned, however, the
money for their construction did not
come entirely out of the pockets Of the
taxpayers, which. after all. makes
considerable difference as to the mat:
ter OF looking at 1t.
