two lines of big, clumsy letters. Two
years later, being again in the neigh

when he was astonished to find that
the inscription was now in three lines,
with the letters much more nearly uni
form. After some effort he got hold of
the secret. For forty years the inscrip-
ton on the window had been the
guides pride and pleasure till, in one
fatal moment of inattention on his

OF glass out of its setting and walked

The poor guide hurried to tell his
master what had befallen him. The
owner of the chateau assured him that
the accident was OF no consequence
and could soon be put right. And so IL
was! a piece of glass of the same tone
as the other panes was procured and
fastened lightly in its place. The guide
received orders TO turn his back so as
to allow visitors to read the inscrip-
