How old is bread? Disgruntled
boarders may have theories upon the
age Of the particular bread served to
them, but that is beside the question
So long as records Of civilized man
go back bread has been the staff OF
life. 1t is somewhere in the history of
prehistoric man that man first learned
to grind his grain, make dough and
bake II on hot stones.
In the time OF neolithic man, whom
one branch OF humanity for defense
drove piles In the edges of Swiss lakes
and built huts on their tops, bread was
made. That much at least is certain.
These stone age progressives had
learned to reap grain and probably to
cultivate 1t In rude way. They pos
sessed wheat of several varieties, bar
ley, rye and other KINDS. Curiously

ties are still cultivated In Switzerland,

which stands in the main square Of

The whole district had been griev-

nous numbers to the square, and,
thronging around the statue of Cecil
Rhodes, insisted that 1t should i'm

yet one crowded with flying tiptoe
dreams. The one great fact OF Shir-
ley's love had lain at the core OF all
these honied images, and his mind
was full of it as his eyes opened, wide
all at once, to the new day.
He looked at his watch and rolled
from the bed with laugh. Past
twelve!" he exclaimed. Good heav-
ems! What about all the work l had
laid out for today?"
Presently he was splashing in the
lake, shooting under his curved hand
unerring Jets Of water at Chum, who
danced about the rim barking, now
venturing to wet valorous paw, now
scrambling up the bank to escape the
watery javelins.
Valiant came up the terraces with
his blood bounding to a new rapture.
Crossing the garden, he ran quickly
to the little close which held the sun
dial and pulled a single great passion

it to his face, his nostrils catching its
faint elusive perfume. Only last night.
under the moon, he had stood there
with Shirley in his arms. A gush Of
the unbelievable sweetness of that mo-
ment poured over him. His face
softened.
Standing with his sandaled feet
deep In the white blossoms, the sun
on his damp hair and the loose robe
clinging to his moist limbs, he gave
himself to a sudden day-dream. A
wonderful waking dream of Joy over
flooding years Of ambltionless ease:
of the Damory Court that should be
in days to come.
When he came from the little close
there was new mystery in the sun

Hang your purple-and-gold pessimism!
You only make the birds sound

for-who knows?"
He tried to work, but work was not
for that marvellous afternoon. He
wandered about the gardens, planning
this or that addition: little longer
sweep to the pansy-bed-a clump Of
bull-rushes at the farther end Of the
lake. He peered into the stable: a
saddle horse stood there now, but
there should be more steeds stamping
