man charioteer, spying and forestall-
ing the chances Of the way with fixed
eye and an intense concentration that
relaxed not one inch in the miles of
the haul. Thorpe had become a full
dedged cant hook man.
He liked the work. There is about it
q skill that fascinates. A man grips
suddenly with the hook Of his strong
instrument, stopping one end that the
other may slide. he thrusts the short,
strong stock between the log and the
skid, allowing it to be overrun. He
stops the roll with sudden sure grasp

effective Sometimes he allows himself
to be carried up bodily, clinging to the
cant hook like an acrobat to a bar, un-

weapon loosened he drops lightly, cas-
tly to the ground. And it is exciting to

Chains bind the loads. And If ever
during the loading or afterward when

the logs causes the pyramid to break

In that fnclosure they remain until

Thorpe, in common with the other

Dyer turned on his heel and went

The crew worked on the marsh that

Archbishop Laud.

Canon Hensley Henson, in the Spectator.
The archbishop did not impress his best
contemporaries as either tolerant or liberal,
or lovable, or wise; and he was the imme-
date author of the great catastrophe which
reduced the English Church to the miser-
able alternative OF exile or anarchy. The
admirable sentiments which adorn his writ
ings are to be discounted by two circum-
stances On the one hand. he is generally
either girding at opponents even more III
tolerant than himself. or he is standing on
his own defense against manifest and ma
lgnant oppression, and, accordingly, he
shows his best side. None the less. his pol
icy and his methods of carrying it into eff
feet offended the best intelligence and the
sanest piety of his time. and both have
been decisively repudiated since. The abid-
ing heritage of his disastrous career u the
religious anarchy which all good men de-
plore and all sane men despise.
