greatest impetus toward popularity.
Darwin pens a graphic picture of
the finish which left Ouimet In the
triple tie and gave him his chance
at glory And it is the picture of
an achievement that should ever be

Vardon and Ray were markedly

The Divine Comedy.
As we open the book we notice that

three parts or antiche--Inferno, with
"a cantos Purgatorio. with SO; Paradise,
with 80. and the whole century Of cantos
woven together with that insinuating
terra rima (every rhyme used thrice),
which to an Italian must form an irre-

very first verse plunges into the heart
Of things:

He Is lost when Virgil comes and Of
fers to guide him; Dante accepts with
plan for a descensus in avernum from
the sixth book OF the Eneid. And Virgil
meant for him the Roman Empire,
which he admired to idolatry, and
which seemed to him to be continued
In the holy Roman Empire, whose de-
fender he had been In word and deed.
He did not separate the Roman and
Italian peoples as we do; he had no
suspicion, probably. OF the German

migrations that had put an end to the
Latin race.

losing its sweetness and harmony"
Surely before saying this he must have

Virgil leads him first into limbo, the
place of the unbaptized: here are the
pagans who lived noble lives, their only
