I will surely die or do something
great"
So from the palace he rode away.
There was trouble and need in the
town that day:
child has strayed from his mothers
side
Into the woodland dark and wide,
'Help!" cried the mother, with sorrow
wild;
Help me. Sir knight. to seek my
child!
The hungry wolves in the forest roam,
Help me to bring my lost one home"
He shook her hand from his brdle-
rein:
Alas, poor mother. YOU ask in vain,
Some mcancr SuCcur Will do maybe
Some squire or varlet Of low degree.
There are mighty wrongs in the world
to right.
I keep my sword for noble fight
/ am sad at heart for your baDy's fate.
But / ride in haste to do something
great
One wintry night. when the sun had
set,
A blind old man by the way he met.
Now, good Sir knight. for our
Lady sake,
On the sightless wandcrer pity take!
The wind blows cold and The sun is
down:
Lead mo. pray. till ! reach yon town"
Nay" said the knight, Il cannot wait :"
| ride in haste TO DO something great"
so on he rode in his armor bright,
His sword all Keen for the logged for
fight,
Laugh with onslaught" cried the
merry crowd.
"Oh. weep! walled others, with sor-
row bowed.
Help u. :" the weak and weary prayed.
Gut for joy nor need no grief he
And the years roll on and his eyes
grew dim,
And he died. and none made moan for
him.
He missed the good that he might have
done:
He missed the blessings he might have
won:
Seeking some glorious task to find.
His eyes TO all humber work were
He that is faithful in that which is
least
Is hidden to sit at the heavenly feast,
Yet men and women lament their fate
If they are not called TO do something
great.

ing to press dispatches over the. in
scription on a 4,0O0-year-old bronze
mirror brought there by a Chinese
banker, ''the object being corrodetl
by the age of centuries"
The word "corroded" used in
connection with the story seems
to be a misnonler. Antique brOnzes
which have been long buried In
the ground acquire a kind OF
green rust, or ''patina," which is
one great proof of genuineness.
This ''patina" varies with the ma
ture Of the soil and in some cases
the surface acquires the smooth.
ness and color Of malachite. 1t
is extremely difficult to initiate
the natural patina, but SO i'm
portant is 1t as an evidence Of au-
thenticity that numerous attempts
have been made to pass off for.
geries Of the antique.
Bronze is an alloy much harder
than copper and was employed be.
fore the method of working iron
was understood and has the ini-
portant property of attaining var
ious degrees of hardness according
to the rate OF cooling from the
fused state. When rapidly cooled
OFF 1t Is soft; when slowly, hard.
The process Of the ancien:S of
hardening bronze is lost
Some Of the original bronEes, cs.

guished by extreme lightness in
