City

national intercensal period. No census Of
London has been taken since 1911. The
two state governments took census Of
Greater New York in 1915 But in gen
eral the state censuses are taken with less
care than the Federal Particularly that
of 1915 furnishes evidence of lack of COM
pleteness of the canvass, and has for this
reason been much criticised. For example,
it makes the improbable showing Of
decline in Manhattan's population of l94,-
600, or per cent, from 1910 to 1915.
But, even If reliable, it was taken at the
very depth of notable depression in New
York's rate of growth, which depression
was occasioned by the war The most
striking evidence of this temporary check
to the city's growth consists of the rates
of increase in fare passengers carried On
its intraurban railways: 1903, 3.24 per
cent; 1909, 3.27; 1910, 9.f9; 1911. 4.74; 1912,
4.S0; 1918, 5.29; 1914, 2.45; 1915, decrease,
0.31; 1915. 5.04; 1917, LOG; 1913, 2.95. The
census year showed the only decrease dur
ing the eleven-year period.
London doubtless also for the first year
or two Of the war suffered decided IN
terruption in its growth. 1t would there
fore not be fair to use the 1915 census
for New York in estimating its population
in subsequent years. Both cities, OWING
to the extensive development Of war iu-
dustries within their limits. had doubtless
by 1918 recovered ali their population
growth-apart from the temporary ao-
scnce of the scores OF thousands Of soldiers
residents of the two cities-whch they
would have otherwise lost through 'oe
decline of their ordinary business. Inc
foreign immigration, which has con
tributed much to New York's growth, was
almost entirely cut OFF by the war, ou'
the indications are that this loss has pee"
fully made up by increased migration iro"
other parts OF the United States due "

ures in the following table both for Loh'
don and New York for 1915 and 1916 arc
in all probability considerably too high eD
account of the effects of the war. For en'
ample, the 1915 census gave New io'A

Inc preponderance Of relatively small

OF small vessels plying between London and

face and, gazing, drew from her girdle
her long bright knife, which she BRAN
dished aloft, as signal to her girls to
do likewise So armed, speaking no
word, they moved closer to the sea.
And now the boat touched land and
Guchulaip started forward, d light of a
great awe and rapture on his face, to
greet Queen Fand. But she, with a great
show of state and tender reserve, waited
until her maidens stood all marshalled
about her, like tall white lilies around
dawn-bright rose. Then smiling again
upon Muirthemne's lord, as she had so
often smiled upon him in his Dreams she
said
Its from a, far land, Cuchulain, |
come to Irelands strand | come be-
cause you would not come to me. I, who
love you the more for that pride and
hardness of heart A woful day it was
for me when the wind of your renown
shook the peace of the Happy Islands.
For no gladness have l known since that
day
."Gladness" -passionately Cuchulain
took up the word. And what gladness
have | known since first the brightness
Of your face broke upon my sleep? But
stay now" he said, seeing the shadows
deepening on that fair face, "and hence
forth we will forget all the trouble that
has been in the joy of perfect comrade-
e Fnt IA
or woman SO worthy a mans love as
Yourself"
At that Emer came forward and stood

to this day! I, who of all women in Ire
land you chose to be your queen. /, who
am now cast aside because a bloodless
woman of the Sidhe has put you under

your father, that I shall not be pushed
from your heart!" =
'." Woman, your words are stones hurled
at empty air. said Cuchulain, land if
The wife OF Manaanan MacLir chooses to
give her Immortal comrades1ip to me,
think, you shall scorn at it for saying
of yours or any other mortal mouth?"
At the coldness of that word the edge
of Emer's anger broke, and she said:
Have Fand then for your love, if you
will, Cuchulain. For everything that is
new seems beautiful and everything that
is our own we tire Of, and that which is
forbidden we desire, and the love we are
sure of is a chain about our feet. And
yet there was time when you loved me

nor sign did the Lord of Muirthemne
show that he noted this amazing hap
pening of his wife's coming thither
And the reason for that, as Queen
Emer presently saw, was that the sight
of master and man was fixed wholly and
entirely on the azure plain before them.
Along that plain her own eyes went, to
where it's edge drowned the sky Hard
it was to tell, though where the sea
ended and the sky began, SO rose bright
were the clouds there so rose bright
their reflection. But even while her
eyes followed her lords, marvellous
thing began to happen. Coda golden
mist, flashing blindingly, spreading into
a dazzling golden rain--displaced all the
rose and irradiated the waters, even Ito
Cuchulain's feet. Out of that golden
rain bark came sailing, snow white
bark with snow white sails and crystal
spars But it was not the bark itself.

about her, but the freight she bore that

ever worn, Cuchuain saw the face that.

She said that with such nobility os
sad queenliness, the while her blue eyes
illumined with that proud purity tbo,
had first drawn Cuchulain's love to h.,
rested upon his face, that the enchant
ment put upon him by Fand began thai
minute to wither and drop away from,
him. And he said: S
There is no woman under the worid,s
sky so worth kings love as voursals
Emer."
Hearing her doom and rejection in
that, Fand, turning to Emer. said
Cruel it was of you to come here armed
for my destruction. But keep you now
your earthly love and l shall 90 awav
and trouble his spirit no more"
And to that Cuchulan made no dis
sent.
Then, for the first time, tears be-.
dimmed the pool-brown eyes of Fand
and her maidens who mad never thought
to see that sight wept with her. And
great cloud that seemed charged with
thunder filled all the sky and sent the
waves roaring up to their feet Out Of
that cloud, armored all in radiant silver
stepped Manaanan MacLir, Lord of the
Crested Seas. Hither from the Happv
Islands he had come, moved by a great
pity for Fand, whose sorrowful plight
had been borne to him by voices of wind
and wave And all the love that had
been in their hearts for one another re-
awakened in that moment.
."Choose now between Cuchulan and
myself" he said to Fand; then, without
waiting her answer, he drew her to his
breast and kissed her three times on
eyes and mouth. Then, taking off his
silver-bright cloak which was gifted with
a gift Of magic forgetfulness, he shook
/ it between her and Cuchulain and the
other mortals there. And straightway
| all the love that had led her to Irelands
strand and the woe it had brought her
/ died from Fand's remembrance forever.
/ And borne in the arms of her magnani-
NOUS lord and love she looked back but
once, and then with unregretful eyes on
the Lord Of Muirthemne.

HUBSEQUENTLY to the commencement
~ of the world war the writer has sew
~ eral times read the statement that
New York has just surpassed London
in population and thus become the largest
community on the globe. No such statement
was backed up by any data. But it is worth
Investigating.
Even before the world war began New
York wrested from London the distinction
which the latter had for centuries enjoyed
the primal port OF the world. The net
tonnage for oversee ships-that is. exclu-
sive of domestic shipping, but including for
London shipping from British possessions
outside the British Isles-arrving at the
two ports is shown below. The New York
figures include the ports of Newark and
Perth Amboy, just those for London in
clude all the towns on the fifty-mle stretch
of the Thames navigable for seagoing craft
which towns are collectively known as the
port of London" Figures subsequent to
1913 are not comparable on account of the
abnormal conditions occasioned by the war.

~ of Cuchulain, the kings of the
~ Red Branch feasted for a week,
and still the ale flowed, the song
rose, the thunder of the racing chariots
shook the earth. For so it was they cele-
brated the victory they had won while
helping their kinsmen, the Picts, to drive
back the Roman far beyond the Wall.
Tall and beautiful, the queens, who had
hastened there to welcome their return,
moved among them, softening by their
presence the high ridge of gayety that
often ruffled to turmoil. Proudly they
moved, as knowing themselves the pick
of womankind in loveliness and worth
and pure blood And that was well in
war-wild time.
On only one of all the fair faces
was there shadow, and yet that should
have been brightest among all there; for
it was the face of Emer, the lady of that
house, 'Cuchulain's chosen bride.
But five years had elapsed since that
day when after mighty slaughter Of all
her kinfolk who had opposed his wooing
of her, he had borne her here to Dun
dealgin, the happiest woman under. Ire
lands sky. And we'll she had justified his
choice. Wherever men spoke throughout
the world of the valor of Cuchulain,
there also was chanted the wisdom and
beauty and graciousness of blue-eyed
Ener.
On this morning, the last feast day of
the victors return, she stood by an upper
window of Dundealgin, watching the
kings and warriors gathered on the
green below. Rather she watched that
group of which Cuchulain's tall form
was the animating centre. And her look
was one of blended love and sorrow and
anger.
Presently straight toward that group
came red haired mana man with
the signs of weariness and journeying
on him, but with such a laughter in his
eyes as had never been seen in mortal
mans eyes before.
And 'Laeg, Laeg, whence come you?"
Cuchulain's eager voice rang out in COM
manding inquiry, while Connell Gear
mach and the other lords fell aside, fain
that master and man should hold counsel
alone.
SO much Emer saw and heard But
only Cuchulain heard Laeg the Chari-
oteer's reply.
Il come from the Place you dreamed
of, lord and l saw the Face that flies
before you. And to my life's end l, too,
shall dream of that Face"
A laugh that changed like silver
through the courtyard leaped from
Cuchulain's lips.
