They were strange figures In the

In 1850 tho Instrument Was Con-
sidered to Be the Invention Of
the Evil Ono.

Investigations made as to the exact
period when people gave up eating
with their fingers and resorted to forks
have failed to give definite results.
1t is known, how ever, that, in the
year 1850. in Congtantinople, the
daughter-in-law of Orseleolo, doge of
Venice, used a fork to convey food
from plate to mouth and thereby
greatly scandalized the faithful who
appear to have considered this In
novation as an invention Of the evil
one.
Saint Peter Damien relates the
affair with considerable pious indig-
nation and, after explaining how the
Venetian princess made use Of little
gold fork instead Of eating with her
fingers, adds:
but the Almighty Father made
known to this woman how odious to
Him was her vanity, and His wrath
was made manifest unto her, so that.

moved Bruce to his depths.
He saw her but dimly In the snow

In the depth of gloom even the
wild folk-usually keeping so close
a watch on those that move on
the Swallowed trails-did not see
Linda and Bruce ride past.
The darkness is usually their time
OF dominance, but tonight most of
them had yielded to the storm and the
snow. They lowered In their coverts.
What movement there was among
them was mostly toward the foothills;
for the message had gone forth over
the wilderness that the cold had come
to stay. The little gnawing folk,
emerging for another nights work at
filling their larders with food, crept
down into the scarcely less impene-
trable darkness Of their underground
burrows. Even the bears, whose furry
coats were impervious to any ordinary
cold, felt the beginnings of the cold
trance creeping over them. They
were remembering the security and
warmth of their last winters dens, and
they began to long for them again.
The horse walked slowly, head near
the ground. The girl made no effort
to guide him. The lightning had all
but ceased; and In an instant 1t had
become apparent that only by trust
ing to the animals instinct could the
trail be kept at all; almost at once
all sense of direction was lost to them.
The snow and the darkness obscured
the outline Of the ridges against the
sky; the trail was wholly invisible
beneath them.
After the first hundred yards they
had no way Of knowing that the horse
was actually on the trail. While ami
mails In the light of day cannot see
nearly so far or interpret nearly so
clearly as human beings, they usually
seem TO make their way much better
at night. Many frontiersman has
been saved from death by realization
of this fact; and bewildered by the
ridges, has permitted his dog to lead
him into camp. But nature has never
devised creature that can see in the
utter darkness, and the gloom that
EMBODIED them now seemed simply I'M
fathomable. Bruce found it increas-
ingly hard to believe that the horses
eyes could make out any kind of dim
pathway in the pine needles. The feel

conflict with tireless enemies, only
struggle to tear his agonized body to
pieces; and the bitterness Of defeat In
the end. He saw his chances plain as
he lay beneath that gray sky. Even
now, perhaps, Simon was upon them.

with which to combat him, and he
