WORLD MISSION OF CHIvALRY |
OF Much Worth II Only to Create the
Useful Romance Of
Action.

Chivalry served to draw out and de-
talents could not have been evoked by
the disputations of the schoolmen nor
the notifications Of the religious zeal
OTIS, says the Engineering Magazine. 1t
created a romance of action to match
the saints moral paradise and evoked
poetry and the arts to celebrate It's
charms. The love of the beautiful
which it begot caused hospitable re-
ception to be given in Europe to the
refinements brought from the East by
the returning crusaders, which caused
the first slight stirring of international
trade.
The enthusiasm which the many
sided ideal of chivalry evoked with
its galaxy of virtues, may be seen, In
literature, in the unfolding Of the
themes of the simple Aryan folk tales
and the prose romances of the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries. into the sen.
suous beauty of Provencal poetry and
the delicacy and pathos of Plutarch
and Dante. Chivalry embellished with
romance the lives of its half-legendary
founders. Charlemagne, Siegfried and
Arthur. 1t supplied the conception OF
virtue sung in Chaucer's Pilgrimage
Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and Spen
ser's "Faerie Queene." In the world
of action chivalry animated the cru
sades, dispensed justice throughout
Europe for 400 years. purified court
life and made much Of the warfare Of
the middle ages peculiarly humane and
noble. It's enthusiasm burned into
brilliancy in such characters as Rich
ard and Blondel, the Black Prince and
his father, Tancred, Godfrey Of Bouil
lon, CASTOR de Folk. Bayard and War
wick, and in a thousand forgotten com
manders of the Templars, the Knight.

regular meals. No twinge of ,indiges-
ton or of rheumatism from exposure
was to interfere with the working of
their precious intellectual processes.
No detail of assistance would be lack
ing to save any bureaucratic head time
toned according to rank-that of the
master awaited the master; the best
servants bedroom awaited Francois,
his valet.
When Bouchard, the chief of intelli-
gence, who fought the battle of wits
and spies against Lanstron, came, two
hours before Westerling was DUE, the
last of the staff except Westerling and
his personal aide had arrived. Bouch-
ard, with his iron-gray hair, bushy eye
brows, strong, aquiline nose. and
hawk-like eyes, his mouth hidden by
bristly mustache, was lean and sat-
urnine, and he was loyal. No jealous
thought entered his mind at having to
serve man younger than himself.
He did not serve a personality; he
served a chief of staff and a profess
sion. The score of words which es-
capped him as he looked over the ar
rangements were all of directing criti-
cism and bitten off sharply, as il he
regretted that he had to waste breath
in communicating even a thought.
81 tell nothing. but you tell me
everything" said Bouchard's hawk
eyes. He was old-fashioned; he looked
his part, which was one of the many
points of difference between him and
Lanstron as a chief of intelligence.
1t lacked one minute to four when
Hedworth Westerling, chief of staff in
name as we'll as power now, alighted
from the gray automobile that turned
In at the Galland drive. His Excel
lency had not occupied his new head
quarters as soon as he expected, but
this could have no influence on results.
II he had lost fifty thousand men on
the first two days and two hundred
thousand since the war had begun,
should he allow this to disturb his
well-being of body or mind? His we'll
being of body and mind meant the ulti-
mate saving of lives.
Confidence was reflected in Wester-
ling's bearing and in his smile of COM
mand as he passed through the staff
rooms, Turcas and Bouchard in his
train, with tacit approval of the ar
rangements. Finally, Turcas, now vice
chief Of staff, and the other chiefs
awaited his pleasure in the library,
which was to be his sanctum. On the
massive seventeenth-century desk lay
a number Of reports and suggestions.
Westerling ran through them with &C.
customed swiftness of sitting and then
turned to his personal aide.
Tell Francois that | will have tea
on the veranda."
From the fact that he took with him
the papers that he had laid aside, sub.
ordinate generals, with the gift of un.
spoken directions which is a part OF
their profession, understood that he
meant to go over the subjects requir
ing special attention while he had tea
Everything is going well-welli"
he added.
WE'LL" ran the unspoken communi.
cation of confidence through the staff.
So well that His Excellency was
calmly taking tea on the veranda! For
the indefatigable Turcas the detail /;
for Westerling the front of Jove.

days fighting along the frontier had
cost the Grays fifty thousand casual
ties.
"In order to make an omelet you
must break eggs!" she remarked.
Spoken like a true so1dier-like
member of the staff" was the reply.
In her constraint and detachment
they realized her conscious apprecia-
ton of the fact that in earlier times
her people had been for the Browns;
but in her flashes of interest in the
progress of the war, flashes from q
woman's unmilitary mind, they judged
that her heart was with the Grays. And
why not? Was it not natural that
woman with more than her share OF
intellectual perception should be on
the right side? From her associations
it was not to be expected that she
would make an outright declaration OF
apostasy. This would destroy the value
and the attractiveness of her CONVEX
sion. Reverence for the past, for a
father who had fought for the Browns,
against her own convictions, made her
attitude appear singularly and deli
cately correct.
The war was a week old-a week
which had developed other tangents
! and traps than La Tir-on the morn
ing that the first installment Of junior
officers came to occupy the tables and
desks. Where the family portraits had
hung in the dining-roofn were now big
maps dotted with brown and gray
flags. Portable field cabinets with
sectional maps on a large scale were
arranged around the walls of the draw
ing-room. In what had been the loung
ing-room of the old days of Galland
prosperity, the refrain of half dozen
telegraph instruments made medley
with the clicking of typewriters. Cooks
and helpers were busy in the kitchen;
for the staff we're to live like gentle
men; they were to have their morning
baths, their comfortable beds, and

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.
