Most likely they laid the chest in some

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
ACADEMY

TN THE days when Athens was
regarded as the seat of learn
ing for the entire world, the
suburb. Akademia-so-calied be-
cause it was supposed originally
to have belonged to the Attic
hero, Academus-was used by
the citizens as a gymnasium and
conference ground. 1t was here
that Plato purchased small
garden, In which he opened his
school and taught his phiIoso-
ply for more than 80 years. his
scholars receiving the name of
Academies" Because of this.
other public places designed for
the gathering Of the learned and
the teaching of the young have
been known as academies.
Cicero also had a villa or
country-seat near Puteoli. which
he called Academia, In memory
of the suburb Of Athens, and 1t
was this name which inspired
him to name his famous work,
"Quaestiones Academicae." Pos
sibly because of this fact Italy
has had the honor of founding
more academies of worldwide
renown than any other nation,
though the Academic Franchise,
founded by Cardinal Richelieu
In 1855, stands at the top of the
list today.

Perhaps because of the secret ex-

of the emotional fluctuations of those
about me. Violet looked grimmer

giles with her mundane consciousness

Ing. Mr.. Shaw was very silent, and
his forehead knitted now and then
into a reflective frown. AS for myself,
had much ado to hide my abstrac-
ton, and turned cold from head to foot
with alarm when I heard my own
voice addressing Crusoe as Benny.
A faint ripple of surprise passed
round the table.
Named your dog over again,
Miss Jinny" inquired Mr.. Tubbs. Mr..
Tubbs had adopted facetiously pa
ternal manner toward me- I knew in
anticipation of the moment when he
would invite me to call him Uncle
Ham.

Cuthbert Vane, 81 thought Crusoe rath-
er nice name. Never heard OF any
chap named Benny that lived on an
island"
tried to rally from my confusion,
but 1 knew my cheeks were burning.
Looks of deepening surprise greeted
the scarlet emblems of discontinue
that / hung out.
"By heck, bet there's Teller at
home named Benjyi' cackled Mr..
Tubbs shrilly, and for once 1 blessed
him.
Aunt Jane turned upon him her
round innocent eyes.
"Oh, no, Mr.. Tubbs." she assured
him, II don't think single one Of
them was named Benjyw
The laughter which followed this
gave me time to get myself in hand
again.
"Crusoe 1t Is and will be-" assert
ed 'It happens that girl / know at

otherwise I should have been obliged
to invent it. But the girl is a cat,

hair. I should never. have thought of
him In the same breath with Crusoe.
That evening Mr.. Shaw addressed
the gathering at the camp-fire-which
we made small and bright, and then
sat well away from because of the
heat-and In a few words gave it as
his opinion that any further search in
the cave under the point was useless.
(If he had known the strange confirm
atory echo which this awoke in my
mind) He proposed that the shore
of the island to reasonable distance
on either side of the bay entrance
should be surveyed. with view to
discover whether some other cave did
not exist which would answer the de-
scription given by the dying Hopper
down as well as that first explored.

the ladies, the organizer and financier,
respectively. Of the expedition. to the
very deliberate exclusion of Mr.. Tubbs.
