rights reserved.)
 George Borrow was the son of an Eng lish army officer, a well born gentleman end well educated. But he chose in early life rather to make himself part of the life of the road." to live with tramps and gypsies-than with his own class. "Lavengro" is for the most part a true story of his experiences.
 Of all people not ''of the blood" Borrow came the nearest to discovering the se- crets of the gypsy life and the gypsy tongue. He believed that the language of the gypsies is the oldest in the world . that the ancestors of the wanderers came originally from Egypt, and that they ser- lied Rome.
 Many times did Borrow try to make a Teputation-even living-by writing But 1t was only when publisher accepted 'Lavengro" that he woke up to find himself famous" After that he tried many books, but nothing that he, e,produced came up to the standard of his frank ex- ploitation of his wandering life.
 An intensely prejudiced man. and a dis scnter of the most distressingly dissenting type, Borrow seemed honestly to believe that the Pope had a eleven hoof and he Placed the Church of England only lit- tle step below that of Rome in his scale of evf. influences.
 He was genius-but there was touch of insanity in him which finally resulted in his severing himself almost completely from his lxind-living in a country house and wandering about the lanes. protecting gypsies and beggars and soaring children when the children met him at night; though by day the children were bold enough and called out after him Gypsy and Witch" He was a strange being. and all his life lived in that debatable land which is just between sanity and in- sanity But in 'Lavengro" he struck meny chords of the human heart-so many that the book has become and will re- main an English classic.

Politics and Religion

George drank deep Of the ale and them leaned back against the wan and went to sleep. When he awoke most of tha guests were gone, but loud voiced man was talking of the superiority Of Aners lea over England
 When get back to New York" salr he. "I will throw up my hat and damn the King of England, too. as soon as ! get upon the dock"
 And suppose the people of New York should put you in the stocks?" asked George.
 The big man turned and looked at him.. Stocks indeedl' said he, there Is not such thing in all the iand.' Then they all began discussing politics. and religion-as men will do when the ale flows freely--and the radical and George nearly came to blows. | But when the landlord whispered that | George was the man who had just beaten the Flaming Tinman, all prospects of a | fight were over.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-07

but the true wife of the fallen man according to Gypsy rites-turned fiercely upon tho Lavengro.
 T will tear your eyes out" she cried, If you touch him. He Is asleep now and you have had enough of his blood already.
 George ran to nearby brook ard {, getting water dashed it upon the face of the fallen man until he revived. But as he came up the path slowly for he himself was weak from his bat tle-he heard the two women in con- versation, or quarrel, which showed him that his dangers were not yet over al- together.
 The Tinman Decides
 'It was all owing to you, you llm- mer," said the older woman, had you not interfered the old man would soon have settled the boy"
 T am for fair play and Long Melford" returned Belle. "If your old man-as you call hni-could have settled the boy fair ly. I would not have interfered.
 But no foul play for me. And as for you sticking the lad with your sulleys as he comes up the path, I am not so fond of your old man or or you that will allow anything of that sort.'
 They walked away, and George came with his water and revived the Flaming Tinman. When the tlnman was suf- ficlently revived, the elder woman bent down and spoke earnestly to him.
 George saw that she had an opened clasp knife in her hands. The tinman seemed to consider Then he shook his head and said in Romany. No, 1t won't do."
 You are right" said Belle. it won't do. And now let us shake hands; let by zones be bygones."

Dislike Explained

What should I have to say against America?"
 Many people speak against America who have never been there"
 Many people speak in praise of Amer- lea who were never there" said George, but I have heard my father say. that the Americans-and he was over there fighting against them-the Americans led on by a chap named Washington, sent the English to the right about in doubia quick time"
 "ls that tho reason why you dislike tho Americans?"
 Yes" said George sullenly. that ia my reason for disliking them"
 twill you take another cup of tears asked Belle.
 He took his cup and they sat silent for a long time, until at length he said: Tt is rather uncomfortable for two peopls to Sit together without saving anything"
 Well" replied Belle, with a sad smile, you are LaYengro-you know the lan- guages; teach me some one."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-07

NUTWHEN he was only a. small boy
 x/ the Gypsies called him "Sapen-
 W gro,' which means a master oi enakes. Then they called him 'Laven- gro." which means a master of lan- guages.
 He was the son of an army officer and a strange child. Very fond of wandering about was he, and many parts of the Three Kingdoms did he wander in
 For that was in the time of the Ma poleonic wars, and his fathers regt- ment was sent hither and thither to many parts of England and into Ire- land and Scotland.
 It was while the regiment was sta- toned in the western part of England that George first met the Gypsies.
 A rustic naturalist whom the boy had met one day in his rambles had taught him how to catch snakes, and had given him for a plaything an adder from which the fangs had been re- moved.
 It was a month or so later that the boy came suddenly upon the Gypsies. Beneath large tree upon the carpet of a grassy glen were two curious tents, and besides them stood a couple of light cars, while unhitched horses were grazing near.

Less Would Content Her

'That makes the old rhyme said Belle pensively-"a rhyme from song we sang in the great house.
 How did it go?"
 Ash when green is fire for a queen"
 And on no fairer form of queen did ash ire ever shine. said George with bow.
 q am half disposed to be angry with you, young man. answered Belle.
 And why not entirely?"
 Belle made no reply. shall tell 'you?" asked George after while. you had no objection to the first part of my speech, but you didn't like being called queen of the dell"
 ''The good doctor at the great house. used to say replied Belle with a far away look. that there were only three great names there; one was Bohun. one was Devereux, and the other was my own"
 Well" said George lightly. If I had my way I would make you queen of something better than the dingle. I would make you queen of China. for instance. Come, let us have some more tea
 "Something less would content me-" an- swered Belle as she rose to make fresA brew of the fragrant herb.

..Ah, then" said the wanderer. when a man dies that is the end Of him?'
 "More's the pity" said the descendant of the Pharoahs.
 "Why?" said the questioner. T do not love life so well that l would wish to keep it."
 Life Is sweet, brother" replied the Gypsyman.
 Do you think so?"
 Do I think so? There's night and day, brother; both sweet things. There Is. likewise. the wind upon the heath Life Is very sweet brother-who would wish to die? There is night and day both very sweet things. Sun, moon and stars, brother-all sweet things. Likewise the wind upon the heath. Wish to die indeedl a Romany chal would wish to live forever"

Cities Not for Him

For some time George lived with the Gypsies. Then he left them-meeting occasionally, in his wanderings, Petu- lengro. Again and again did he try London with the hope of extracting a living from the city.
 But cities were not for him. He took what money he could raise at last and went wandering once more Into the country.
 At an inn where he stopped he saw a man with wife and family seated at a table. An empty beerpot stood before them. The man loked like a travelling Itinker--and such he had been. House. Housew cried George. What is your pleasure, young man." "The largest pitcher of ale you have"
 It was brought and George. motion ing the tinker. bade him take q drarr.
 The man lifted his eyes and looked curiously at the stranger. Slowly he took the pitcher, nodded his head and drank.

Teaching Armenian

At once getting upon his favorite hob. by. 1avengro began giving the woman lesson in Armenian-for that, among many others, was u language with which he, was familiar.
 Long they sat there in the starlight and the freight until. the fire dying down, George went and got some more wood and threw 1t upon the fading flames.
 q love to sit by wood fire" said Belle. T like to see the flames dart our of the wood. What sort of wood is this?" Tt is ash--green ash. Somewhat less than g. week ago, while wandering along the road by the side of a wood. I cana to a place where some peasants were en- gagged in cutting timber.

Brothers After a Fight

When, after some talk. they found that
 he was only human boy and he told
 them the story of his pet adder, they
 were a little disappointed. but the man said:

Everything in It's Season

The public house was about two miles from the dingle, and the sun wasr sinking to the west the next day before George returned to the place where he had lere Belle.
 He found her seated by a fire, over which a kettle was suspended. During his absence she had prepared herself d kind of tent consisting of large hoops covered over with tarpaulin, quite im- penetrable to the rain.
 'I am glad you are returned" she said. "I began to be anxious about you. Did you take my advice?''
 "Yes, I went to the public house and and strengthened mo and drove the and strengthened m eand drove tha horror from my mind--I am much be- holden to you.''
 Shall we take tear" asked Beile. "Everything in it's season. I remember when I was in the great house. that the doctor. when the women were af- flicted with hysteria and fearful imagin- ings. would say, Everything in its sea- son'-there Is a time for ale and there Is time for tea. Shall we take our tea now?"

Still a Fool

Tn the brightest days of prosperity in health and wealth-how sentiment is the poor human creature of thy neigh borhood! How instinctively aware that the foodgates of horror may be cast open and the dark stream enguif him forever and ever. Then Is 1t not lawful for man to exclaim. Better that never was bornT
 Fool, for myself thou was not born, but to fulfil the inscrutable decrees of thy Creator; and how dost thou not know but that this dark principle is thy best friend? That 1t is not that which

a boy of about the age of George ap- preached from the other end of the lane. The two boys looked hxedly upon each other.
 Jasper had long arms. unlike the strange being who called himself his father. His expression was more open and frank, more dignified than that of either of the other gypsies. @
 Jasper, shake hands with the sap engro," said the father.
 ''Can he box, father7" asked Jasper
 So the boys had a bout and became sworn brothers after the gypsy fashion.

The Poisoned Cake

"All alone here, brother?' asked the girl.
 He made no answer. She repeated her inquiry.
 why do you call me brother?" he asked. "I am not a brother of yours.
 Don't be afraid, brother" returned the gir1-she was about 13 years old you are not handsome enough for a Roman; say. brother. tell me one thing-and look me in the face-do you speak Romany?"
 "Romany. Romany, what is Rom any?"

Forbidding Looking People

A man and woman were bending over a small cooking pot set over a campfire. They looked up and saw the boy regarding them intently. Both man and woman uttered strange cry of alarm and rushed upon the lad
 George retreated a few steps, though without turning to flee. He was moi without apprehension, = however, for the two persons who came upon him were strange and weird in appear ance
 The woman was a. stout figure, seein- ingly betwen 30 and 40; she wore nc cap. and her long hair fell on either side of her head like horse tails half way down to her waist
 Her skin was dark and swarthy, like that of a toad, and the expression oi her countenance was especially evil. Her arms were bare and below a light bodice she wore coarse petticoat. This seemed all her dress.
 The man was somewhat younger. but of A figure equally wild. His frame was long and lathy, but his arms were re- markedly short and his neck rather bent. He squinted slightly and his mouth was much awry.

tempers the whole mass of thy cor ruption?
 Tt may be, for what thou knowest, the mother of wisdom and of great works; 1t Is the dread of the horror of the night that makes the pilgrim hasten on his way
 When thou feelest it nigh let the safety word be onward-if thou tarry thou art overwhelmed. The fool knows little of this strange dread.
 Thou wouldst be joyous. wouldst thou? Then be a fool. The fool Is happy or comparatively so-certainly the least sorrowful-but he is still a fool"

At the Alehouse

Then the woman told him the story cf her strange and wandering life. She end ed up by ordering him to go to the neigh boring inn and take some ale,-ho needed it, she said, after the battle.
 T am afraid" said George-the strange dread coming over him.
 'Of what--the Flaming Tinman?'
 NO, do not know of what"
 "Go to the alehouse"
 Ihe kitchen of the inn vas crowded with people and there was confusion and a hubbtb of voices.
 Bring me a jug of ale" sad George
