went into a fit They are the most
curious things l ever saw, for they
stand in parallel rows miles long and
every one is resting ON its little end
and has been resting ON its little end
for thousands of years. At the first
glance uncle said they were arranged
so just for tourists; but he got out
and walked around them and tried to
shake one or two, and then he said
he wouldn't have missed seeing them
for the world and that he should never
regret coming to Europe as long as he
might live hereafter. He was perfect.
ly lovely for a while after that, and
we looked at dolmens and cromlechs
the whole afternoon, and sometimes
we saw them far ahead and some
times we thought they were houses.
We only had one unfortunate time,
and that was when we had to ferry
over the Crach. The ferry was on the
other side, and that upset uncle right
away, and he asked me If my exper-
fence had ever led me to ferry that
was not on the other side. They took
nearly half an hour to bring 1t across,
and uncle said that 1t would be a
great day for Europe II she ever
learned what thine spelt, and he
looked at me as If l were Europe
while he said it. They are building
bridge over the Crach, and as soon as
we embarked on the rickety old ferry,

Why HE FAILED.
Aunt-You failed in your examin
ton. How was that?
George can't think, auntie!


What sad memories linger around
the old vacant chair. Sitting in the
middle of the floor, with plaintive
look about its frayed and seemingly
weary back, 1t brings back tumultu-
GUS riot of sad recollections that time
can never efface. Volumes of bitter
anguish come to me when l arrive
home in time to catch the milkman
swiping the loose furniture around the
place, and take off my shoes to avoid
publicity, and strike my best toe
against the rocker of the old vacant
chair. Then. forgetting for the mo-
ment my unclad feet, kick the chair
on the other rocker. That is when
the sadness and suffering that fingers
around the old chair comes out with
an extra edition and great chunks of
gloom settle over me like herd of i'll
natured fiies.-Oregon Journal

swore in Gaelic, and finally we were
free for so feet, and then the tide
blew us in between two other piers.
Uncle said he could but feel that be-
ing stuck twice on the same ferry
was a poor reward for a kind-hearted
man who was trying to the best of his
ability to give some species of instruc-
tive amusement to an innocent girl,
and then he looked severely at the
setting sun while we came loose
again and progressed so feet more, A
great, thick wave came then and
broke over the horse and smashed us
in so hard and fast that l was honest
ly scared. Uncle was too mad for
words He said that he would just
make one remark and that was that
If he ever gave me chance to be-
guile him away from civilization again
he would cheerfully and contentedly
and silently end his days on any ferry
which ! would choose to designate to
him. 1t was getting cold, and | was
so tired from yesterday that | Just
shut my eyes and did not speak at
all, and when we came loose, uncle
spoke to me quite gently and was
very nice all the rest of the way.
We were too late for the train and
have come back to Carnac. I feel
about done up.
