The Virginia enterprise., 1909-12-17

A crowd of thousands of eager, rev.
erertial students, in Ills, were wont
&C. surround the lecture platform of a
rather homely, thickset young man,
hanging breathlessly on his every
word, applauding him to the skies.
The lecturer who commanded such
aattering attention was Pierre Abel.
ard, son of Breton nobleman. Abel
ara was the foremost philosopher and
rel1glous orator of the century. While
a mere lad he had upset many of the
older theories and dogmas and had
routed In debate the greatest logicians
OF france. At last, in the height of
MS fame, he established a school Of
philosophy in Paris. His reputation
had spread throughout all Europe.
Students from every land flocked to
hear him.
Il came," he wrote later. TO think l
was the only philosopher in the
world"
Abelard at that time had lodgings
at the house of one Fulbert, canon
OF Notre Dame cathedral. Fulbert had
niece, Heloise by name. She was
not only beautiful, but was one of the
best educated women in Paris. Abe
lard was induced to give her lessons
tn. e,.. 49,. in philo ophy.
~. e., Heloise, when she
first met him, was
barely fifteen, but already had the
mature mental powers of a grown
woman. Abelard, who had hitherto
been too much absorbed in study to
think much about women or love.
making, was attracted by the girls
wonderful mind, and soon by her
charm of face and manner. He fell
hopelessly in love with her. His love
was abundantly returned by Heloise
to whom the homely young lecturer
seemed the embodiment of all that
was wise. good and beautiful. Her de-
votion to him was boundless and
amounted to blind alteration.
TO be near the girl he loved, Abe
lard remained in Fulbert's home and
became regular tutor to the canon's
niece. Wise as the lecturer was in
matters of philosophy, he was a nov
Ice in love affairs, and had scant skill
in concealing his sentiments. Soon all
Paris was talking of his romantic at
tachment. Partly to silence such
gossip he turned his back on the great
possibilities that lay before him in
the French capital and fed with Hell
olse to Brittany. His idea was tc
marry her and to settle down with her
to quiet life of seclusion. But the
devoted girl would not at first hear OF
this. She knew how such a course
would hamper his prospects and in.
jure his career.
At length she was prevailed upon
The Virginia enterprise., 1909-12-17

Early IN the twelfth century young
Londoner named Gilbert a-Becket
went to the Holy Land to take part in
the second crusade Zone of the series
of religious wars whereby European
nations were trying in vain to win
back Palestine from the Mahometans).
Although he was a merchant and not
by trade a fighting man, a-Becket be-
came infected by the pious zeal that
swept England and joined in the great
enterprise.
His adventure met with as little
success as did the Crusades them
selves. For he was taken prisoner in
battle and became the slave of the
Syrian emir (prince) who captured
him. There was scant hope of free
dom in those days for the luckless
European who chanced to be sold into
slavery in Palestine. In rare cases
such men were ransomed by wealthy
friends. Far oftener they lived and
died as slaves. The latter fate seemed
certain for a-Becket. For he lacked
influence to secure his freedom. He
was apparently doomed to a life of
servitude among the infidels, far from
his native land. Indeed, those who had
known him deemed him forever lost.
But the emir, Gilbert's master, had
a daughter who became interested in
the young English captive. Gilbert
doubtless saw that it was to his ad-
fn
the most of this
'o"e'' interest He did
so to such good effect that the girl
speedily fell in love with him. She
asked him questions about the won-
derful creed that could lure men
across the world to battle for the pos
session of the holy land. Full of re.
ligious fervor, a-Becket taught her the
precepts of Christianity, and even in
duced her to forswear the Moslem
faith and become Christian. He also
begged her to set him free.
The emir's daughter consented to
aid him in this project Biding her
time, she planned for Gilbert's ESCAPE.
The emir lived near Tyre. Occasion
al European ships touched at that
port BY the girls aid, a-Becket was
smuggled aboard one of these vessels,
and in time reached London in safety.
Before leaving Tyre he vowed eternal
constancy to the woman who had
saved him. Then he seems quite to
have forgotten her existence. She had
served her turn.
But the emir's daughter had utter
faith in her lovers VOWS. She could
not imagine him otherwise than faith
full to his rescuer. So she sought
some means of eluding her fathers
vigilance and following him to Eng
land. At length she was able to es-
cape from Palestine and to set forth
on her quest. She had provided her
self with money and jewels, but she
had absolutely no idea how to find
a-Becket. The only two English words
she knew were "Gilbert" and Lon
don." She did not know in what d.
rection England lay. Her task seemed
hopeless. In those rude times all
travel was fraught with danger. 1t
was more difficult and perilous to
cross the continent of Europe than it
now is to 60 around the whole globe.
But by liberal use of her wealth and
by forever repeating to all persons
she met those two words, Gilbert
and London" she finally landed in

Woman Gets Rid Of "Coffee Heart.~

The injurious action of Coffee on the
heart OF many persons is we'll known

severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cot.

of the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
I would never breathe again.
1.-THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said l must stop it, but it seemed l

Postum has done much for me and
