with his right hand, as well as he

made him dizzy and sick; a spear
thrust in his leg sent thrill of agony

steadfastness, which he seemed to
share with his young master.
Then the world rocked and waved

took his unconscious burden from his

Nine out of ten strangers who come
to Richmond, involuntarily turn their
glance to the court house dome when
ever they desire to know the time of
day.
Did you ever think of that?
Have you ever noticed someone you
did not know, turn his eyes up to the
top Of the court house? 1t looked
funny, and the stranger looked sheep
ish afterwards, as though he knew he
had made a mistake.
But, sure as you're alive, that same
stranger will not walk ten steps until
he finds himself again looking at that
court house dome. Then he fumbles
at his watch pocket.

Visitors in Richmond nvo|untarIy Turn Their Gaze to the

Probably the architect would feel a
pride in his bosom at seeing so much
attention directed TO the dome he had
designed; surely he had to put some
thing up there that kept constantly at
tracing the strangers. Perhaps he
would feel that the architecture caus-
es all the rapt attention OF every
stranger who comes into the city or
goes by on the interurban cars.
Perhaps the strangers aren't accus-
toned to seeing such noble structure.
But the habit clings to the stranger.
He may stay one day or one year, and
when he starts to go away he will hnd
himself involuntarily making eyes at
the court house.
