The enormous old minister, famed
wherever Joy in the ideal is felt, one
of the choicest Gothic visions ever
dreamed by a master mason, is men,
DRY Of ages when art was more pas
sion and religion and less a means for
preference and daily bread.
Strassburg cathedral Is Christian
epic in stone Exquisite in proportion
and detail, it rises. great Pile, out Of
the surrounding city. Its spire vies
with the Hottest daring Of the New
York makers of skyscrapers against
dark background of mountains, whose
heights, with the cathedral spire.
watch over Upper Alsace.
The spire of the minister is a mas
terpiece, excelled by no mother steeple
and equaled by but few. 1t ends more
than 500 feet above the town, and 1t
is a wonder-compelling structure OF
delicate open stonework, rich in an
endless completely of forms.
After finishing the one spire, build
ers never attempted to construct the
proposed companion to 1t.
Strassburg differs from other Ger
man cathedrals in that 1t possesses q
greater width in proportion to Its
height. 1t is one Of the most harmo-
NOUS Of Europe's sacred structures.
The doors are very beautiful and the
rose window, more than forty feet in
diameter, is an artistic achievement
that wins the admiration Of every WIS.,
itor.
The building was begun in 1176 and
was completed in Its present form in
1889. More or less extensive restora-
lions have been necessary, and their
lamentable results give grounds for
the most discouraging reflections upon
the prediction that Reims cathedral
can be restored.

Quest did not wait for another word.
He jumped rough bush of scrub on
the right-hand side, galloped over the
ground, which was already hot with
the coming fire, and followed along
down the road which Lenora had
passed. When he came to the first
bend. he could hear the roar of flames
in the trees. A volume of smoke al
most blinded him; his horse became
wholly unmanageable. He slipped
from the saddle and ran on, staggering
from right to left like drunken man.
About forty yards along the road, Lee
nora was lying in the dust. A volume
Of smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was
already afire. A twig fell from 1t as
Quest staggered up. and her skirt be.
gan to shoulder. He tore off his coat,
wrapped it around her, beat out the
fire which was already blazing at her
feet and snatched her into his arms.
She opened her eyes for a moment.
Where are WEI" she whispered.
"The fret"
That's all right" Quest shouted.
We'll be out of 1t in a moment. Hold
tight to my neck"
Say, that was a close shave" he
faltered, as he laid Lenora upon the
ground. Another five minutes-well,
we won't talk about 1t. Let's lift her
on to your horse, Laura, and get back
to the camp"

The professor rose to his feet,

Then he waited until Quest had COM

face had grown grave and puzzled. It
was obvious that he was receiving In

put down the instrument at last with
curt word of farewell.
The professor moved towards the
door.
IF only this may prove to be the

Quest spent the next hour or so in
