New Enuland INTERPRETATION

Cardinal Gibbons was facetious
when the Irish ladies' choir of Dublin
called on him. Turning suddenly he
asked:
(Which one OF you is the oldest?"
None claimed the honor, and all
blushed.
The talk drifted around to Gilmore
and his band, and Cardinal Gibbons
told of how Gilmore, at Coney Island,
hearing that the cardinal was in the
audience, played Maryland, My Mary
land" and how it pleased him.
"Gilmore," said the cardinal, was
famous for his playing of Mozart's
Twelfth Mass Once he played 1t in
a North Carolina town, and next day
the local paper announced that he rem
dered with great effect 'Mozart's
Twelfth Massachusetts" "-Pittsburg

Chandos stopped and kissed the Kings hand.

The Kings brows knotted into frown. Nay,
let him go to Brittany with the Others said he
harshly. Il wonder, John, that you should bring
back to my memory this youth whose pertness is
too fresh that l should forget it. But
must go to Brittany in your stead, for the matter
presses and people hard put to it to hold
their own" He cast his eyes the assembly,
and they rested upon the stern features of Sir
Robert Knolles.
"Sir Robert he said, though you are young
in years you already old in war; and l have
heard that you as prudent in council as you
valiant in the field. To you / commit the charge
of this venture to Brittany in place of Sir John
Chandos, who will follow thither when our work
has been done upon the waters Three ships lie
in Calais port and three hundred are ready
to your hand. Sir John will tell you what
mind is in the matter. And now, my friends and
good comrades you will haste you each to his
quarters, and you will make swiftly such prepara-
lions as are needful, for as God is my aid, l will
sail with you to Winchelsea tomorrow"
Reckoning to Chandos, Nanny and a few of his
chosen leaders, the King led them away to
inner chamber, where they might discuss the plans
for the future At the time the assembly
broke up, the knights in silence and dignity the
squres in mirth and noise, but all joyful at heart
for the thought of the great days which lay before
them.

Such was the goodly company Saint-Malo bound, who
warped from Calais Harbor to plunge into the thick
reek of a Channel mist.
A slight breeze blew from the eastward, and the
