Langley's thin hands were shaking.
He bent over the buttons, and his
fingers ran with tremulous and swift

Strong sat quietly by, lighting his

He had heard the grating OF the

spit of flame came a duh thud on the

through the glass casing round the
batteries, and went upward. nicking a

The Intellectual Prize.

From the Columbus Journal
President Hadley of Yale addressed
the Harvard students one night last
week, and here is one thing he said:
Two generations ago the intellec-
tual idol Of the graduates and students
of most Of our colleges was the leading
debater. Now it is no longer the de-
batter, but the athlete, who occupies
the center of the stage.

ence of opinion that we should be

lectual prizes and less upon the ath-
letic ones"
Well then. if there is no difference
of opinion upon the matter that intel
lectual prizes are better than athletic
ones, why do our great institutions
seem dominated by the athletic Idea?
They certainly are. We hear more these
days Of triumphs on the athletic field
than in the Intellectual domain. This
should be reversed. Sport should be
an incident and not the main thing.
It does seem strange that a boy should
go through college a shortstop or
quarterback; So strange. indeed. that
the big college men ought to get their
heads together. and give the educa-
tional trend a different direction. even

A BRETOA|zED BRITTANY
NEW BIRTH OF OLD BRETON
TRADITIONS.
Another Stronghold of Celtic Feeling
Bursting Forth-Revival by
Bards and Philologists.

Translation in Boston Transcript From Paris La
Revue.
The renaissance of Breton literature
began with the twentieth century, after
a period that will always be remembered
with sorrow. The popular language of
singers and priests had been corrupted
with French expressions. songs and SER
mons seeming about as wretched as they
could be. AS for cultivated writers of
pure Breton blood and pure Breton utter
ance whom could the Breton masses
name? They were compilers and philolo-
gists SO far as cultivated writer's existed.
and they wrote for erudites. To these
you might have added d few bards but
most OF their poems were published at
distance from Brittany and frequently
in volumes that would sandwich them in
between Sanskrit works and Indian songs.
So Renan could write to Quellen in the
preface of "Annaik:' The poets and
philOlogists seem to me the embalmers OF
languages. Their approach presageS Il
mortuary ceremony, but they preserve
them forever.
Death was cruel indeed to those Bre-
tonizinl writer's, for it cut them off ere
they could realize that they We're the
precursors of a renaissance, and not the
last singers of a dying race. They passed
away without hearing the cry of the
ec'h marc ar C'helt?' Dead? Who
says the Celt is dead?, For Brittany had
been so thickly overlad with absurd
legends that the Bretous themselves could
scarce discover it, and its awakening
seemed as mysterious as a resurrection.
Their Hearts Language.
Yet the people of Brittany had not
changed. Their souls had remained true;
and while they spoke more French in
business, Breton was still the language
of their hearts. Political spell binders
had always to speak Breton. And when
ENJOYS Of kings and emperors. function
aries of the republic and prelates of
Rome undertook the Denomination of
Brittany, the people yielded only In APP

lay profound resentment

a bit slow to respond when writer's adj

corrupted by the cities, thought 1t fine
to ape the Parisians' and were amazed
to see educated people" praise the tra-
dltionS of their race. Many others failed
to support the new movement because
they couldn't read Bretoi. To surmount
this difficulty. the young authors were

the beginning of a new era in Breton lit

The Celtic Renaissance.

Coming from all parts of Brittany. of
divers ideas and opinion young men of all
ranks and all degrees of culture, the
neo- Breton writer's are as different from
the old illiterate popular bards as from
the learned bards who write only for
their own satisfaction. They are de-
scendants of both types; they sing for
the people and they desire to polish Bre-
ton poesy: but the burden of their song
is the racial and social renaissance of the
modern Celts. Men of tradition, they
look toward the future.
Poetry is still the favorite form OF the
BretoniZing authors. 1t seems easier to
the popular bands. who compose orally.
following tune. AS for Breton literary
craftsmen. the reading of Breton will
not be general, they use the verse form
because il facilitates the oral repetition of
their works. The characteristic thing
about these bards is their pure Breton
inspiration, unspoiled by foreign influence
All The dreams of modern Brittany are
expressed in works ranging from the
wild songs of the "BaraZ Tadir" to the
mystic tenderness attained by other poets
Such songs become popular, thanks to the
Ti-Kaniri-BretZ blouse OF Breton Sing
ers) and thanks to the fact that many
Bretons now read and learn by heart the
verses of their innumerable bards

confront BanSemer at once. 1t did not
occur to him until later that the easiest
and most effective way to drive Banse-
mer from Chicago without scandal was
through Elias broom When the
thought came to him, however, he re-
joiced. The new plan was to sow the
seeds of apprehension with broom.
Bansemer would not be long in reap
Ing their harvest-of dismay. Ten APP
parently innocent words from Eddie
Deever would open Droom's eyes to the
dangers ahead.
Young Mr.. Deever met with harsh
disappointment when he came forth to
renew his conversation with Rosie
Heating. She was chatting at the tele-
phone. her face wreathed in smiles.

will be so nice. | was afraid l had an

fectly lovely play. I'm crazy to see It.
What? About 7:30. 1t takes nearly
half an hour down on the Clark street
cable Slowest old thing ever. All
right. Goodby." Then she hung up the
receiver and turned upon Eddie, who
stood aghast near the desk. "Oh,
thought you'd gone"
Say, what was that you were say

you

why? Why, you know asked
you to-
"You didn't specify, Eddie, that's
all. I'll go some other night with you.
Goodby." Clackety clack went the
machine, throwing insult into his very
face, as 1t were. He tramped out of
the Office In high dudgeon.
"Confound this detective business
anyhow" he might have been heard to
remark. Three nights later, however,
he took Rosie to the play, and on the
fourth night he was Droom's guest
again in the rooms across the river
He was well prepared to begin the
campaign of insinuation which was to
affect Bansemer in the end. Sitting
stiff and uncomfortable in the dingy
living room overlooking Wells street,
he watched with awe the master of
the place at work on the finishing
touches of new invention" the uses
of which he did not offer to explain.
He was without a coat, and his shirt
sleeves were rolled far above the ell
