The Romans and the Sea.

Virgil is understood to have lived
long on the bay of Naples, and he
dwells repeatedly with unsurpassed eff
feet on the Httoral phases Of the sea.
but on the element at large he ex-
presses little but a sense of vastness,
power, malevolence. 1t is a toilsome
and perilous expanse, to be hurried
across and escaped.
Across the land the Romans went
with indomitable confidence, marking
their way with those works of pecul-
lar permanence, so that today the Brit
on traverses the original roads they
built, and the GauI walks beneath their
arches. But even in imperial times
the voyage from Brundisium to Greece
was something of a hardship. The
ocean was a thing ''bestrew'd with
wreck and disaster" In its depths or
on it's shores lay the bones Of those
who never received burial and hence
could not pass over the Styx.
When Tiberius built a yacht he float
ed it on the quiet lake Nemi and very
likely kept it anchored like a palatial
houseboat The sea lacked that essen
tial stability which the Romans so
much valued. 1t was estranging. Ro.
man adaptability made it medium OF
empire, but never with the viking spir.

puttered about the barn in blissfuI
ignorance. Presently, however, he
would come into the house, and then
perhaps he would realize what was up.
Meanwhile they would have made the
train, and presently they would be
across the state line, where licenses
were not necessary. The laws Of their
own state required residence before
license could be issued, and as town
clerk Joyce's father was charged with
the issuance Of licenses.
All would have gone well If a small
boy had not thrown a SNOWFALL at

smart blow in the ribs. The high spir-

Dick frantically saving at the reins.

Hill"
Joyce's face blanched. The Hill (al-
ways spelled with a capitaD was a
steep descent of nearly a mile, with
one ugly turn. If King should bolt
down the hill, there was little chance
that Dick would be able to guide him
around the curve, and they would be
thrown down the side.
'You will stop him before them" she
said confidently. But the corners Of
her mouth were drawn and her lips
were white. She knew King and re-
allied how little chance there was even
while she sought to comfort Dick with
her confidence.
1t was a little more than a mile to
the top Of the Hill, and Dick fought
the horse every inch of the way. He
had called to Joyce to kneel in the bot
tom Of the cutter, and just as they
reached the descent he pulled Kings
head to one side and guided the crazed
animal into a tree.

as they struck, but he was on his feet

was no need for that. King lay still on

do you think King can keep this
pace all the way to town." asked
Joyce anxiously.
Dick Torrington's chin squared itself
as he looked at the sturdy black flying
over the hard packed snow.
IF King doesn't keep going" he
said. with an uneasy laugh. you'll
keep on being Joyce Waring and not
Joyce Torrington. I've timed it so as
to just make the train. If we miss
that. your father will be after US in no
time at ALL"
Joyce shivered at the suggestion.
For years she had lived in dread of
the stern old man who since his wife's
death had looked on life with hatred.
When Joyce had come. her gentle
mother had slowly faded away. and
Hiram Waring. blaming the innocent
child for the death of the woman be
loved so passionately, had never
shown her the affection that was her
heritage.
AS a child her innocent transgres-
sions were punished with an unjust Sc
verify. and when Dick Torrington had
asked her father for her hand he had
been driven from the house, for no
other apparent reason than Mr.. War
ing's hatred of Joyce. The father
would not give his consent to a mar
riage because it would make her hap
py. and thereafter he watched her
more closely than ever.
But Dick Torrington was not Of the
sort to take his unjust dismissal With
out an effort to win the woman he
loved. and the elopement was the re-

Ca+%Ia Ticke

A report issued from the depart
ment of agriculture states that the an
nual loss occasioned through the cat
tie ticks is in the neighborhood of
s100,000,000, which is equal to about
ten per cent of the value of the cat
tie. The quality of the animals is the
lowest and the loss is greatest in the
regions where the natural conditions
without the tick should produce the
finest cattle with the least loss.
