Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

CIR NIGEL" is a romantic tale of the loves and
- adventures of Nigel Loring, young English
man of heroic ancestry who took up the sword to
mend the fallen fortunes of his noble house the
year after the great plague devastated England
in the fourteenth century.
The story opens with brief word picture of
England during the plague, and outlines the
downfall of the feudal system and other changes
which that fearful black death " brought about.
The house of Loring has been all but wrecked by
the Vaccinations and entertainments of clerics.
Nigel and his grandmother the sole survivors
of the family, and the Cistercian monks of Waiver
ley Abbey are still engaged in preying upon
their meager possessions. Young Nigel openly
opposes them.
The monks, in satisfaction of claim, have
of noted lineage, and several of their number
have been vciously attacked and nearly killed
by the animal. Believing the horse to be pos
sessed of devil, the monks are about to have
him killed, when Nigel interposes The horse is
given to him. partly in the hope that the beast
will kill him and rid their community of it's most
rebelous, troublesome and dangerous opponent
But Nigel at once takes the horse, and in the
presence of the astonished monks speedily re-
duces him to submission. He names the animal
Pommers.
When Nigel and his grandmother, the vener-
able Dame Ermy ntrude, are spending the eve
ming together not long afterward they were
rudely Interrupted by the lay summoner and
sacrist of Waverley, accompanied by a band of
archers, who set upon the young Squire, bind
him and take him prisoner to the Abbey, to be
tried because he had thrown the summoner into
a morass and destroyed some legal papers that
were being served

THE MAVOURNEEN PRINCIPLE

A PHILADELPHIA man not long ago was
"A conversing with the agent of an auto
mobile establishment, when he observed that
the company must be making a fortune.

It's true, l sell good many motors; but,
you see, good many of them are disposed of
on the Kathleen Mavourneen' principle
Why, what do you mean by that"
Payment on the instalment plan," was the
answer. Don't you remember the old song
1t may be for years, and it may be forever's"

honored from end to end of Europe!
Nigel gazed at him as one who sees
vision. The archers stood back abashed,
while the monks crowded closer to stare
at the famous soldier of the French
wars. The Abbot abated his tone, and
a smile came to his angry face.
1--WE are indeed men of peace, Sir
John, and little skilled in warhke
blazonry," said he; yet stout as are
Our Abbey walls, they are not so thick
that the fame of your exploits has not
passed through them and reached our
ears. If it be your pleasure to take
an interest in this young and misguided
Squire, it is not for us to thwart your
kind intention or to withhold such grace
as you request. l am glad indeed that
he hath one who can set him SO fair an
example for a friend"
Il thank you for your courtesy, good
Father Abbot" said Chandos carelessly.
This young Squire has, however, a
better friend than myself, one who is
kinder to those he loves and more ter
rible to those he hates. 1t is from him
l bear message"
4 pray you, fair and honored sir,
said Nigel, that you will tell me what
is the message that you bear"
The message, mon ami, is that your
friend comes into these parts and would
have a nights lodging at the manor
house of Tilford for the love and respect
that he bears your family
Nay, he is most welcome" said Nigel,
and yet l hope that he is one who can
relish soldiers fare and sleep under
a humble roof, for indeed we can but give
our best, poor as it is.
He is indeed soldier and good
one" Chandos answered, laughing, and
l warrant he has slept in rougher quarters
than Tilford Manor house
:" l have few friends, fair sir" said
Nigel, with puzzled face. 9 pray you
give me this gentleman's name"
His name is Edward"
Sir Edward Mortimer of Kent, per-
chance, or is it Sir Edward Brocas of
whom the Lady Ermyntrude talks?"
NAY, he is known as Edward only, and
if you ask second name it is Plantagenet,
for he who comes to seek the shelter of
your roof is your Iege lord and NINE
the Kings high majesty, Edward of
England"

thousand-fold more drunken thu an we
are now. It can be proved by actual
facts that wherever the use of beer
has increased, the use of the heavier
liquor has increased in proportion.
A few years ago, we are told that in.
the United States the increase Of
distilled liquors was eleven Der cent
in one year, where the Increase in
fermented liquors was but nine ner
cent. If every nine per cent increase
in the consumption of lager beer
gives us an ELEVEN per cent increase
OF whiskey, now long will it take
lager beer TO reform this country? It
is the wo.st of nonsense, Nay, it is
crlmlnal in the face of facts, for men
TO ella i'm that they can subs titute a
milo drink for a strong ole among
drinkers. The drift is Inevitably
from the milder to the stronger. We
have an illustration of this fact in the
English law, allowing the free sale of
peer as harmless beverage, called
the FIFE Beer Act.'' There was
such an increase of misery and drunk
enness, consequent upon its passage
that Sydney Smith, who had been a
SUP porter of the measure, in a fort
hight after said, ''The new beer bill
Is in operation. Every body' is drunk.
Those who are not singing are sprawl.
Ing. The sovereign people are in a
beastly state" If the beer mission
aries Of this country, who would have
everybody drink beer, who would
have free beer act here, and make,
as they desire to, denpaud for ten
million barrels annually, could fulfill
: neir mission, we would very soon
arrive at this same stage Of general
drunkenness. God forbid that this
country should ever be evangelical by
beer, for it can never be what its ad-
vocates would have IT'S believe it is,
the Apostle of Temperance.

Mothers can find rest and recreation for
themselves and make lasting impressions
upon their children by taking them out in
the twilight these sultry summer evenings
and show to them sky bespangled with
stars. By what inconceivable power does
that aged star, which is sinking, fatigued
and burning in the shades of the evening,
reappear at the same instant fresh and
humid with the rosy dew of the morning?
Go out beneath the arehed heavens at
night and say if you can "There is no
God" Pronounce that dreadful BIAS
phemy and each star above you will ap-
proach the unbroken darkness of YOUR
intellect; every voice that floats upon the
night winds will bewal your utter hope

declares in language too plain to be mis-
apprehended. 1t is written over the face
of the whole creation. You see it in the
tender blade just starting from the earth
IN the early spring and in the sturdy oak
that has Withstood the blasts of four
score winters. The burling riverlet
meandering through downy meadows ard
>verdent glens and Niagara's tremendous
torrent leaping over its awful chasm unite
in telling us of a God Show these

of good, honest, practical christian work,
then you know what is to begin to be
happy. The longer the fruit hangs on the
tree the ripper and more mellow it grows.
The longer you live the right kind of a
life the more useful and happy you be-
