They Participate In the Eternal, the
Infinite and the One,
Says Shelley.

Every original language near to its
source is in itself the chaos of a cyclic
poem the copiousness of photography
and the distinctions of grammar are
the works of a later age, and are
merely the catalogue and the form of
the creations of poetry:
But poets, or those who imagine and
express this i~ndestructible order, are
not only the authors of language and
of music, of the dance, and arehitec-
ture, and statuary, and painting /;
they are the institutors of laws. and
the founders of civil society, and the
inventors of the arts of life, and the
teachers, who draw into a certain pro-
.pinquity with the beautiful and the
true, that partial apprehension of the
agencies of the invisible world which
Is called religion. . Not that / as
sert poets to be prophets in the gross
sense of the world, or that they can
foretell the form as surely as they
foreknow the spirit of events; such
is the p%retense of superstition. which
would make poetry an attribute of
prophecy rather than prophecy an at
tribute of poetry. A poet participates
In the eternal, the infinite, and the

tions, time and place and number are

He rose quickly, and was gone be-
fore she could say a word. Aimee
went to the caves mouth and watched
him out of sight.
II wonder what he'll do" she said
to herself. She reflected on the situa-
ton. The difficulty concerning Amy
Shocks, the new parlor maid, was
uppermost irs her mind.
A flash came into Aimee's eyes; 1t
announced the birth Of a brilliant
idea. She laughed impishly, and then
sighed.
Cant be worked, I'm afraid" she
murmured. TOO far away, and
there isn't time, But what a pity !

Suddenly. Aimee started to her feet
in sheer panic.
"Oh, great heavens, what ian idiot
1 ami Dadl l quite forgot"
The stress of the past ten hours
had utterly driven from her mind one
vital fact that now came back poign-
antly. Lord Scroope was coming to
Jervaulx at 8 p. m. Georgina had
said so. The burglary, intervening,
swamped all memory o it. But, after
all, Lord Scroope's arrival would be
worse than the burglary.

CHAPTER XIV
The New ParIor Maid.

Aimee. sitting In the morning sun
light near the mouth of her burrow,
heard a rustling among the bushes
and at once dived back into shelter.
Presently there was a soft whistle,
which she answered. Mr.. William
Spencer parted the brambles very Qui-
city and entered the cave.

He clicked his heels together and
touched his cap.

Billy sat down beside her and made
his report. Aimee heard it, at first,
with the air of Desdemona Listening
TO Othello. Then she rolled on the
sand in helpless spasms of laughter.
"How absolutely gorgeous" she
painted, sitting up and wiping her
eyes. you've done splendidly. l
wish I'd been there to hear you bluff
the fat policeman. But-what's the
good of the chauffeur's job, Billy?
That will hamper you"

jumped at 1t. You see, I've got a sure
berth now, right close here, where l
want to be. I'm your aunt's man.
And she's some old girl, too-she
isn't taking anything from anyone.
You should have heard her handing 1t
to the policeman. I'm solid-so far.
And" added Billy, gleefully, 1--WE two

ones either. We can't use the Sphinx.
But, If we want to shift you quick an
lively, you've the call on those two
cars"
"I never thought of that! You're
right, Billy"
"Of curse there's danger still. It
wasn't any good my giving a false
name. That would have been fatal in
the end. But there's the trouble that
they knew me as Spencer, in Stanhoe.
I'm going off right now TO try an put
that straight" said Billy. II can see
a light. Yes, l believe l can get away
with it. That inspector will be a nui-
sance, I'm afraid. But he's a fool,
anyway"
Aimee looked at him admiringly.
what a lot of whoppers you must
have told, Billy. Did you mind?"
Billy put a twig between his white
teeth and bit 1t in half thoughtfully.
"Where l come from. we hate a
liar,' he said. But there's just one
time when a man can lie. an it's up
TO him to do it. Mind? II enjoyed 1T"
But l don't see how you can do it
so well, if you've had no practice"
"It's wonderful how you fall into

"Snooks was the name you told me-

She rang for the butler, and gave
him an order. Mr.. Tarbeaux and Billy
departed In each others company.
Alexander Lambe breathed heavily.

you do some remarkable things. But

references could l have than the resto-

could have made a fortune for himself

Mr.. Lambe was dumb.
