A-Becket and the Emir's Dau6hter

England. Finding her way in the
same manner to London, she began to
search that city for her lover. Her
money and jewels were gone; her
clothes were in rags. The sight of the
ragged travel-stained, swarthy beauty
wandering through the streets. cry
ing "Gilbert!" attracted a curious
,ox. ..a crowd. BY chance
c,...~" a-Becket heard of
her and of the
crowds she collected. He came out
into the street for look at her, and
recognized her at once. She rushed
into his arms. Guided by blind love.
she had crossed the world unaided
and had found the man she adored.
Gilbert a-Becket had prospered since
his return from Palestine. He is even
said to have been on the point of
marrying wealthy London woman
But the faithful devotion of the emir's
daughter touched him so deeply as 4,
awaken in his heart a somewhat he-
lated sense of love and gratitude. To
the wonder and scandal of his friends
he at once made the Syrian girl his
wife. With her for helpmeet he rose
to high civic honors, becoming at last
sheriff of London. The couple had q
son, Thomas a-Becket, who became

pleasure, and in less than a week he
built an artificial tail-wagger that
was a pleasure to see
AS soon as the wager was at.
tached Arlo took the crank and
wound the spring, and Fido immedi
ately began to wag. His tail did not
Wag, Fido wagged. You see, the
spring was SO strong, and the gear.
ing of the wager was so high, that
the tail wagged the dog.
Probably dog is as happy when
the tail is wagging the dog as when
the dog is wagging the tail, for II is
a poor rule that does not work both
+ways.4 hut it was hard to see whether
F'ido was happy or not, he wagged 50
rapidly. 1t was easy to see tue tail
for that remained quite immobile, but
Fido wagged at the rate of about 5000
wags a minute, and all one could zee
of him was sort of streak, as he
wagged back and forth. He wagged
as rapidly as a humming-bird's wing,
only more so. Such vivid wagging
was never seen in Betzville. Arlo
was more than pleased. He said this
proved that the tailwagger was a
great success, and that all that was
necessary was to rut the wager on
the tail and attach the grabber or
clutch to the dog, and then rip UP
some sort of governor or fly wheel
to control the speed, and the thing
would be perfect.
In about half an hour Aunt Rhino.
colura suggested that it might be a
good thing to stop the wager a min
ute or so, to let Fido get a breath,
but Arlo shook his head. He said
he had not put any kind of stopper on
the wager, and it would have to
just simply run down. He said. as
near as he could figure, the spring
was a good spring and would run
down in about three days, but Aunt
Rhinocolura said she hardly thought
f1do would wag that long without
wagging his head off, Just then there
was a sound like a bone breaking.
and when Arlo looked closely he saw
eAAS~S ~ " eo AAuCCO d UOuC Luat 0aO
broken. Fido had wagged off his
tail right where the sceorosis was.
Fido wagged on for three days
more, and when the wager ran down
1t was found that the constant wag-
gfng had stretched his neck to three
and half feet, and he was so tired
he lay down and did nothing but pant
for upward of 1S hours, and then he
took full breath and painted II
hours more. When Arlo examined
the tail he found it was as good as
ever, except for being loose from the
dog, and he reversed the automatic
wager, and the tail did very well.
Of course, as a usual thing, it is bet.
ter to have the tail permanently at.
to the dog, to avoid possible
loss, but for wagging in an automatic
wager a detached tail is as good az
any, so long as it can wag and keen
the dog happy.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
BY the terms of the decree, it is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company Is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red COL
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of CON-
plant; said right having been &C.
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es.
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per.
haps the most important and far-reach.
ing of all. by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

to marry him, but only on condition
that the marriage be kept secret and
that Abelard continue his lectures,
etc., as before, unchecked by home
ties. She dreaded to become his
wife, having a vague presentiment
that ill-luck would follow Her fore
bodings were destined to come true.
Fulbert was informed of the wedding
and was asked to respect it's secrecy.
Instead (flattered that his niece should
have won so renowned a husband) he
at once made the story public. This
revelation threatened to defeat Hel-
discs purpose of preventing the mar
riage from interfering with Abelard's
prospects. So, through loyalty to her
husbands interests, she publicly de-
MED that she was Abelard's wife.
Fulbert was furious at this act of SELF
sacrifice and made the poor girls life
burden. To escape her uncle's per.
secution, as we'll as to free Abelard
from any care or responsibility for
her, she ran away from Paris and shut
herself up in convent at Argenteuil.
Fulbert misunderstood the wife's
noble motive. He thought her hus-
band had basely deserted her. In re-
venge he and some of his relatives
broke into Abe
lard's room ono
|ese' night, where they
so wounded and mutilated the unlucky
philosopher that he lay for days at
the point of death. This catastrophe,
changed Abelard's whole future.
Partly recovering his health, he gave
up his public life and lectures and, to
forget his disgrace and misfortunee,
became monk.
In the monastery he won new reput,
as writer on philosophical and rel!-
gious topics. His letters to Heloise
are preserved to this day and are mar
vels of literary skill. But, firing of
monastic discipline, he fed to the will
derness, built a hut and lived as q
| hermit. Even here he was not left in
peace. Students by the hundred came
to the wilderness, pitched tents there
and induced him to act as their
teacher.
Abelard, exerting what influence he
had with the clergy, succeeded III
placing Heloise at the head of a con-
| vent. He had already persuaded her
that she must look on him henceforth
merely as beloved brother Obedient,
as ever, to his lightest wish, she con-
sented to this last great sacrifice.
From place to place the wretched man
wandered, until. in 1142, he died.
Helofse at once came forward to
claim his body. Soon afterward she,
! too, died. The lovers so tragically
parted in life were buried side by side.
They still rest in the same tomb at
Pere Lachaise cemetery, in Paris.
