CHAPTER XIII

The next afternoon, Ethel felt that she
could safely start to the village, to make
a few purchass for herself, as at the
lunch table Robert had told Lady Con
stance he should leave home at two that
afternoon to visit young friend and
should remain away until noon the next
day.
As she had not ventured beyond the
grounds Of the Hall since her arrival,
except on this afternoon, before, she did
not know In which direction the places
Of business lay; therefore, seeing Sandy
Staples, the lodge keepers son, just be-
yond the place, she stopped and inquired
of him.
"oh, yes; can tell you, certainly. Go
straight forward, pass DIR. Elfenstein's
cottage, when you will come to a grove
of willows; pass that, and then the
railroad track, and about one quarter of
a mile beyond, you will see a row Of
houses; that is the commencement of the
real village proper, and there you will
find several stores"
Thanking the boy, Ethel opened her
parasol, for the afternoon was warm and
sultry, and followed the path pointed
out. When she reached the cottage. her
eyes wandered over its small flower-bor-
dered garden, its pretty vine-covered
porch, and open windows, with their
bowed blinds just revealing the dainty,

ANCESTRAL HOME OF YALE.
Church Where University's Founder ID
Buried One Of the Oldest In Wales.

Church Where University's Founder Ia
Buried One of the Oldest In Wales.
When the Prince of Wales-who
takes q genuine interest in things
American--was at Wrexham, In Wales,
few weeks ago, he made a point
Of going to see the oldfashioned
church there which is so closely con-
nected with Yale University. The re.
mains of the founder of Yale lie In the
churchyard which surrounds the vener-
able pile and only few miles away
stands the ancestral home Of his fam
lily, from which Ellhu Yale's father
went away with the pilgrims to the
new world. In the quaint old Welsh
village of Plas-yn-yale, which lies
amidst the wooded slopes OF Bryn
Eglys, there still are folk bearing the
historic name.
The bones Of the founder of the
great American university lie close to
the north porch of Wrexham Church
which, by the way, was restored by
the authorities of the university not
many years ago. On his headstone
there is this quaint inscription:
Born In America, In Europe bred,
In Africa travelled and in Asiaewed,
Where long he lived and thrived, in Lon
don dead;
Much good, some Ill he did, so hope all's
even
And that his soul In mercy's gone to
heaven.
Wrexham Church was built In 1472,
which puts It among the old parish
churches in the kingdom. Its chief
glory is its tower, from which the
beautiful lords tower of the parlia-
ment buildings in London was to
large extent copied, The bells which
hang In the Wrexham Church are ia.

Ambassador Choate,s Joke,

Ambassador Choate, at the Dime;
recently given him In London. by the
Pilgrims Club, said;
"My elation here tonight Is great.
1t is great as It was ON the occasion
Of my first lawsuit. That was a happy
time. l remember that had sat
brooding and idle. The afternoon was
gray, The law as a career seemed
hopeless. Suddenly there was a caller
and an excellent case offered me by a
wealthy man, An hour after | got a
secoud case. 1t was incredible. Two
cases, my first two cases, and both
given me the, same day.
"How l worked that night over my
two casesl How thought about them
as | walked officeward with my green
bag the next morningI remember
that a shabby person, accosting me as
| walked, said;

sell?"
He seemed TO be regarding the green
baize bag, held 1t up for him to see.

"Where are you going, Tommy"
said his mother, as a small boy with
big basket, and looking very inn
portant, stalked into her room. Go
in to woods to look for babies" said
Tommy as If the quest was the most
natural one in the world. His pretty
young governess, who followed him,
explained: Eyes, we are going to look
for baby trees" she said; "baby oaks,
baby elms, baby walnuts and chest
nuts. In fact, every baby that will
grow into big tree, and then we are
going to bring them home and have
a baby farm" "Yeth, we're gOin' to
have a baby farm" repeated Tommy

laughed. "You look as If you were

guard far above.
Then he repeated his question to

that moment.

was brought down so far over their
heads that 1t completely hid them from

the beating rain was turned into a
golden mist.
A policeman's finger tapped Clayton
sharply on the arm.
"You can sit on the bench if you
like, but you're not allowed to scratch
the paint by standing"
The bewildered couple suddenly be-
came conscious that the sun was shin
ing brightly, and that half dozen
idlers stood there in the walk, gaping
curiously at them.
"Nor you don't need your umbrella
now,' added the policeman, with an
lnciplent grin "Its been fine for the
last half hour" Chicago Tribune.

vastness of the Star Canopus.

The conception of the magnitude of
the star Campus, which is regarded
as the greatest body In the universe,
is difficult indeed, even when Mr.. Gore
of the Royal Astronomical Society fur
nishes the sun as step by which the
Imagination may raise itself. One has
some appreciation of the size of the
earth with its circumference of 25,OOO
miles. The sun is more than a million
times as large as the earth. The mass
of Campus has been weighed astro-
nomlcally and found to be one million
times greater than that of the sun.
