The Road to Paradise.
CHAPTER *.


On the 3rd of November Byram's
American circus, travelling slowly over
land toward the Spanish frontier, drew
up for an hours rest at Quimperle l..
however, as usual, prepared to ride
forward to select proper place for
our encampment, and to procure the
necessary license.
We were in seedy circumstances;
an endless chain of bad luck had fol-
lowed us from Chartres.
The fortune that Byram had made in
the previous year was already gone;
we no longer travelled by rail; we no
longer slept at inns; we could barely
pay for the food for our animals.
Got enough cash for the license?"
asked Byram, uneasily.
Plenty, governor; don't worry" l
replied. and set my horse at gallop
over the old stone bridge.
I passed stone house, another;
then the white road curved under the
trees and rode straight into the heart
of Paradise. my horses hoofs awaking
echoes in the silent. stone-paved
square.
A young girl with face like the
Madonna stole across the square In
her felt shoes.

lives?" / asked, looking down at her
from my horse.

DIscoNTENT NOT ALL GOOD
True That It Has It's Uses, but There
Are Other Things to Be
Considered.

1t is perhaps true that some writer's
and teachers have over-emphasized the
gospel of contentment with our lot. 1t
is not always well to be contented With
our lot. Advancement in every line has
been made by people who were dis
contented with their present oppor-
tunities and broke through to some
thing higher. But. even allowing this,
it is undeniably true that there is a
vast amount of unholy and wasteful
discomfort. We are apt to think pref
ty constantly how much more and how
much better we would do If circum-
stances were different While history
presents many cases Of people who
broke away from humble task to force
their way to something higher. 1t is

Suddenly, straight out of the flaming

The Town-crier.

The bell in the unseen chapel ceased
ringing as we came out on the cliffs of
Paradise, where, on the horizon, the
sun hung low, belted with single
ribbon of violet cloud.
Below the cliffs, on crescent of fat
sand, from which sluggish, rosy rivu-
lets crawled seward, man stood
looking out across the water. And
the mayor stopped and called down to
him: "Ohe, the Lizard! want some
body to drum and read proclamation,
Where's Jacqueline?"
At this instant young girl, mere
child, appeared on the beach, dragging
a sea-rake over the ground behind her.
She was 1.-THE creature, barelimbed
and ragged, with the sea-tan on throat
and knee. The girl caught sight of
the mayor and gave him laughing
greeting which he returned with a
shrug.
