in his grasp he had held a position of
wealth, of power, of fame! He scarce
ly considered their loss; and in the
ease with which he relinquished them,
he knew that he was self-abcolved
from the charge of using his con-
science as a ladder of ambition! If
personal vanity had entered into his
desire to build the new cathedral it
had been incidental. not fundamental.
It made him profoundly happy to know
this with positiveness.
He called up the house of Jim Sar-
gent, and asked for Gail
Come over" he invited her. Il

church. Come in through the vestry."

mendously pleased with himself! He
had kept out OF his voice all the long
ing, and all the exultation, and all the
love! He would not trust even one
vibration of his secret to a cold tele
phone wire!
He set the door of the vestry open
wide. Within the church, the organist
had conquered that battling run in the
mighty prelude of Bach, and the great
dim spaces up amid the arches were
pulsing in ecstasy with the tremendous
harmony. Outside, upon the back
ground of the celestial strain, there
rose a fiuttering, twittering, COO
ing. The doves of spring had returned
to the vestry yard.
Just a moment and Gail appeared,
poised in the doorway, with a filmy
pink scarf about her shoulders, sim
pie frock of delicate gray upon her
slender figure, her brown hair waving
about her oval face. faint flush upon
her cheeks, her brown eyes sparkling,
her red lips smiling up at him.
He had intended to tell her much,
but instead, he folded her in his arms,
and she nestled there, content. For a
long, happy moment they stood, lost to
the worlo Of thought; and then she
looked up at him, and laughed.
Il knew it from your voice." she
said.
He laughed with her; then he grew
grave, but there was the light of the
great happiness in his gravity.

That was part of what she had
known.

The grain, as a measure of weight

that SO grains Of wheat, taken from

which should make an ounce, while
II ounces were to make a pound.
The pound, therefore, consisted OF
1880 grains. But several centuries
later the pennyweight was divided into

Tells of Life at oxford During the
War.

Wayne c. Bosworth of Bristol, a
graduate of Middlebury college in the
class of 1911, and winner of Rhodes
scholarship at Oxford, England, recent
ly returned from London, and tells an
interesting story of life at that famous
college. When the war broke out Mr..
Bosworth was in Switzerland. The
news of Germany's action came as no
surprise .to the people of Switzerland,
but to the hundreds of tourists it came
like a flash out of a clear sky. Mr.
Bosworth was enjoying a vacation
from the university. He at once re-
allied that the continent, not even the
''land of SHOWS" was place for pleas
ure and rest. He decided to get back
to England, where he says the people
are very cordial to the American peo-
pie who are there.
Mr.. Bosworth got into Switzerland
comparatively easy, but when he start
cd to leave it was quite different. Ev-
cry available seat and room on outgo-
ing trains were taxed to the limit. Mr..
Bosworth managed to depart. When
he tried to take a transport from Calais
to England he lost everything but his
life in the attempt.
Speaking of Oxford Mr.. Bosworth
said: 'The place is practically de-
serted by English students. Oxford
has a student body of 5000, but now
there are only 600. A few weeks after
the war was declared 2,4OO students,
men with the greatest ambition in life,
men or big purposes and of broad mind
edness and of sympathy, departed for
the seat of the war. Of the 600 left
100 are American students and the re-
naming comprise some other foreign
students and about 300 Englishmen,
who are not fit for military service"
Mr.. Bosworth won Phi Beta Kappa
honors at Middlebury college and was
tennis champion for few years. Dur
ing his first year out of college he
worked with the ColumbianTrust com
pany in New York city.
