lay a proof of its constancy. 1t had lost AMI
gained, it had secretly tarried and surrep-
titiously hurried but 1t had never openly con-
founded the simple faith Of its owner.
You will have to take still another look at
Sancerre, however, before you clearly see
what this meant to the little parish. The
first thing you will notice will be the big gray
church. standing sentinelnke above the rest
Of the yillage. High above the clustering
whitewashed cottages. high above the waving
tops Of the Lombardy poplars and naples
and willows, glimmered the great cross Of
gold, catching the first light of the morning
and rejecting the last glow of evening
Under the glimmering cross the habitants
Of sancerre sought their religion and abiding
and dreams. From the voice that echoed
down its aisles they drank IN their schooling
and their aspiration. And from the chimes
that sounded from the beifry they took their
time.
The bells broke the morning stiffness, clear
and sweet and silvery, and the pigeons
wheeled about the lighting cross, and all San
cerre awakened. The angelus drifted out
across the evening fields, and all sancerrs
knew that Its day Of toll was once more over
and done.
1t rose and ate. and went to its trim little
gardens, and sought its riverside vineyards,
and labored in its fields. and remembered its
prayers, and trooped down the narrow, dusty
roads to vespers, and turned homeward, and
went to bed again, and grew old and died
all to the ringing Of the chimes it loved 30
well.
But these chimes were controlled by the
little cure, and the cure was controlled, in
turn. by that beautiful silver watch with the
fun name running like cucumber vine
across its case. And It was useless to ex-
postulate. A watch was a watch. And the
church was a church. and must be obeyed
So the good people Of sancerre rose at times
when 1t was not strictly the hour Of rising
And they went TO bed sometimes late and
sometimes early-it all depended on the
chimes.
But Black sauriol. the blasphematesr from
the Ottawa. never learned to accept lightly
this free and easy juggling with Father Time.

how Black. the son Of Zippor. sent messen-
gers for Balaan that the latter might come
and curse the Israelites who were advancing
to rob them of their lands. But that was
in the days Of warfare. And the people of
Sancerre were a gentle people. and. when

how they swarm in other folks orchards and
sting the little ones who would drive them

So nothing much came Of the little cures
conferences In the toroeron, and Black Sau-
riol would turn to the ribald songs Of the
crib drivers while Father PHILIPPE would pro-
ceed disoonsolately down to the Lizotte and
sign neaVlly unoer the pOueu WILLOWS, anu
then search furtively among the bulrushes
for the jointed bamboo pole which he kept
hidden there. for he had spent his childhood

On his placid and sunburned old face, now

crossing and recrossing one another, you
might see the serenest of smiles. as though

Sauriol himself. -
The marrin the tor0eron noted these things
and patterned, as he made his anvil ring,
new and more complicated anathemas. He
patterned them, like the artist herwas, proud
ly, yet for no Immediate purpose. He evolved
new oaths with all the patience and precision
with which he evolved the wrought iron
hinges Of scroll work for the rehabiitated
oaken door Of the vestry.
He airily fashioned them and tossed them
aside, little dreaming that the day for un-
earthing them was so close at hand For,
being what might be called q newcomer to
Sancerre, he had not learned that there was
one day Of the year, and 6ne day only, when
the honest husbandmen Of the surrounding
country overrode his village and the children
OF the outlanders seemed to get the better
Of Pere PHILIPPE. Annually this occasion ar
rived on what was known in the yaguer
hinterlands as orangemans day, when the
valiant youth OF the county put on their
yellow badges. and Haunting silk aprons,
dragged out their banner Of King William
seated on white charger, and behind drum
and fife marched through the streets of San
cerre to the steamboat landing on the La
zotte. where they embarked for Chamboro
and holiday of thSobbing drums and pa
rading bands and futtering ensigns.
But, alas. on the day of which speak
they did not march straight through the
streets Of Sancerre. The shrill Of the fifes
and the beat of the drum, as intoxicating as
any currant wine ever made by the cure,
seemed to get in the blood Of those rugged
young giants of. the bayfield, OF for their
holiday. ..
