er unsacred) to Mars the war god, the
history of which has been but rec
ord Of battle, murder and sudden
death: they are the danger spots and
powder magazines of civilization.
Among these the Rock Of Gibraltar
stands pre-eminent. In the course OF
500 years 1t stood some fifteen sieges;
some of them among the most notable
In history.
With the ancients it was Calpe, one
of the pillars of Hercules, the other
being the hill called Abyla, near
Ceuta on the African coast. These
marked the boundaries of the world,
except for the Phoenicians, for CEN
turtles; later the Greeks ventured be-
yond them, although always Greek in
tercourse with ancient Britain, what
there was of it, was mainly by way of
Massilia and through Gaul. But Meth
er Phoenicians, Greeks nor Romans
appear to have understood the true
import of Gibraltar, or surely the Gaze
sars would have crowned its heights
with great temple to Mars. Its mill
tary value first made itself manifest
to the Arabs, who, when they crossed
over from Africa in the eighth CEN
fury, selected it as the site of for
tress. They gave it two names: Gebel
af-Futahh, or the Hill of the Entrance,
because 1t was the place where they
first set foot on Spanish soil, and
Gebel Tarik, the Hill of Tarik, from
their leader, Tarik ibn-Zeyad; 1t is,
of course, this second name that has
remained.
However it was not until the begin
ming of the fourteenth century that
Gibraltar became the cockpit of south
ern Europe. In the year 1909 the first
siege took place; the rock was taken

stammered, that vitality affects-af-

of righteous remoteness.
No one who separated Gregory from

the surface of likings and dislikings.
She had turned back the covering OF

was no time to hesitate. The stone

Source of Strength.

We do not flatter ourselves that the
intellect of our time, judged by the
power of individuals, Is exceptionally
great. No doubt, men of commanding
genius are still with us, but they are
not more numerous or more original
than in former times. What then Is
the popularity that has produced such
great results? In my opinion what
has been accomplished is due in great
part to the spread of higher education,
which has evolved an army of compe-
tent investigators possessing enthusi-
asm for research which now, for the
first time, is led into useful paths by
the few great minds, whose powers
thus receive a widers range and be-
come more productive. 1t is in this
that our great strength lies.-Prof.
Arthur Schuster in Science.

CHAPTER V.
We Reap What We Sow.

If anything could have prejudieed
Hamilton Gregory against Fran's inter-
ests it would have been her sighting
allusion to the one who typified his
most exalted ideals as that woman"
But Fran was to him nothing but an
agent bringing out of the past Sc
cret he had preserved for almost TWEEN
ty years This stranger knew of his
youthful folly, and she must be pre-
vented from communicating it to 9TH
ers
It was from no sense of aroused con-
science that he fastened to lead her
to the front room. In this crisis, some
thing other than shuddering recoil
from haunting deeds was imperative;
unlovely specters must be made to
vanish.
He tried desperately to cover his
dread under a voice of harshness:
What have you to say to me?"
Fran had lost the insolent compos-
ure which the secretary had inspired
Now that she was alone with Hamil-
ton Gregory it seemed impossible to
speak She clasped and unclasped her
hands She opened her mouth, but
her lips were dry. The wind had
risen, and as it went moaning past
the window, it seemed to speak of the
yearning of years passing in the night,
unsatisfed. At last came the words,
mufi1ed, frightened-'I know all about
it."
"All about what, child?" He had
lost his harshness. His voice was al
most coaxing, as if entreating the
mercy of ignorance.
Fran gasped, 81 know all about it
I know" She was terrified by the
thought that perhaps she would not
be able to tell him. She leaned heav-
lily upon a table with hand turned
backward, whitening her finger-tips
by the weight thrown on them.
About what?" he repeated with the
caution of one who fears. He could
not doubt the genuineness of her emo
ton; but he would not accept her
statement OF it's cause until he must.

He was sorry for her; at the same
time he was subject to the reaction
of his exhausting labors as song
leader. Then he said, with tired
resignation, eff you'll follow me, I'll
take you where you can spend the
night, and tomorrow, I'll try to find
you work.
Work." She laughed. ooh, thank
you'll" Her accent was that of repu-
diation. Work. indeed!
He drew back in surprise and dis
pleasure.
you didn't understand me-" she
resumed. What | want is home.
don't want to follow you anywhere.
This is where l want to stay"
you cannot stay here" he an
swered with slight smile at the pre-
sumptuous request, "but I'm willing to
pay for a room at the hotel"
At this moment the door was opened
by the young woman who, some hours
earlier, had responded to Fran's
knocking. Footsteps upon the porch
had told of Gregory's return.
The lady who was not Mrs Gregory
was so pleased to see the gentleman
who was Mr.. Gregory-they had not
met since the evening meal-that, at
first, she was unaware of the black
shadow; and Mr.. Gregory, in spite of
his perpleXity, forgot the shadow also
SO cheered was he by the glimpse of
his secretary as she stood in the
brightly lighted hall. Such moments
of delighted recognition are infnitesi-
NAL when third person, however
shadowy, is present; yet had the world
been there, this exchange of chances
must have taken place.
Fran did not understand-her very
wisdom blinded her as with too great
light. She had seen so much of the
world that, on finding a tree bearing
apples, she at once classified it as an
apple tree. To GREGORY, Grace Noir
was but charming and conscientious
tsympathizer in his life-work, the at
mosphere in which he breathed freest
He had not breathed freely for half a
dozen hours-no wonder he was glad
to see her. To Grace Noir, Hamilton
Gregory was but. a benefactor to man.
kind, man of lofty ideals whom it
was a privilege to aid, and since she
knew that her very eyes gave him
strength, no wonder she was glad to
see him

nand w, who, in order to attract I'M
habitants to a spot otherwise some
what uninviting, proclaimed 1t an asy'
lum to murderers, swindlers and
thieves, and promised to levy no
taxes on imports and exports. In 1915
the second siege took place, when the
Arabs under Ismafl ben-Ferez at
tackled it, and were defeated. In 1888,
however, the governor, Vasco Paez
de Meira, having allowed the defenses
to decay, was obliged to capitulate to
Mahommed w. Almost Immediately
the fourth siege began, under Alfonso
XII of Castle, "The Avenger." His
attempts, though heroic and pertina-
cious, were in vain; and he was OBJ
liged to content himself with trib-
ute for the rock from Abdul Melek
Of Granada. In 1910, October 20, as
leader of the allied armies Of the
Christian kingdoms of Spain, he won
the great victory of the Salado over
the kings Of Granada and Morocco,
after which the booty was so great
that the value of gold fell one-six-
teenth. He followed up his successes
In 1912 by laying siege to Algeciras,
where for the first time in Europe
cannon were used-by the Moors de-
tending. After two-year siege they
capitulated, on condition of a ten-year
truce; but the king Of CASTLE broke
his word in 1349 by again besieging
Gibraltar. This, the fifth siege, re-
suited In the transference of Gibraltar
from the possession Of the king OF
Morocco to that of Yusuf III. OF
Granada The seventh, undertaken Dy
Enrico de Guzman, count of Niebla,
proved fatal to the besieger and his
forces. In 1852 success attended the
efforts of the Spaniards under Alfonso
de ARGOS. and in August of that year
the rock was lost to the Arabs forever.
BY the ninth siege the rock fell to
the duke Of Medina 5idonia, who won
It from the Spanish crown; in 1869
Henry w. was constrained to declare
his son and heirs perpetual governors
Of Gibraltar. Ten years later Ferdi-
nand and Isabel created the second
duke Marques of Gibraltar; but in
1901 Garsilaso de la Vega was or
dered to take possession Of the rock
for the crown, and 1t was formally in
corporated with the Spanish domin-
ions. After the death OF Ferdinand
and Isabel, the duke Don Juan tried
in 1906 to recover possession, and
added tenth siege to the list; his at
tempt was in vain. The eleventh siege
took place In 1910, when the pirates OF
Algiers tried to regain it for the Mos
lem cause; the conflict was severe,
but resulted In the repulse of the be-
siegers.
During the war of the Spanish sue
cession 1t was taken by combined
English and Dutch feet under Sir
George Rookie. -
