"Above all things-be generous"

Above all and at all times.
Everyone makes mistakes. /
cite generosity in the face of

There is no such thing as

take more easily to a compli-
Gated game than others, but
everyone can be taught the

promise you that you viii witness
such tortures as the eyes of man
never before beheld; nor the body
Of man ever before endured"
will 1t result in death?" asked
a tall Korsar with cadaverous face.
"Of course" said Buff, "but not
too soon"
"DEATH is a welcome and longed-
II for deliverance from torture"
continued the other. Would you
give either one Of these the salts
faction and pleasure Of enjoying
even death?"
But what else is there?" de-
manded The Cid.
There is a living death that is
worse than DEATH" said the Ca
daverous one.
and If you can name a torture
worse than that which I had in
mind" exclaimed Buif, II gladly
shall relinquish all my claims upon
this Sarian."
Explain" commanded The Cid.
ut is this" said the cadaverous
one. These men are accustomed
to sunlight, to freedom, to cleanll-
ness, to fresh air. to companion
ship. There are beneath this pal
ace dark, damp dungeons into which
no ray of light ever filters, whose
thick walls are impervious to sound.
."The deni0ens Of these horTid
places, as you know, would have an
effect opposite to that Of human
compaiionship and the only danger,
the only weak spot in my plan, lies
in the fact that their constant pres
ence might deprive these criminals
of their reason and thus defeat the
very purpose to which I conceive
their presence necessary.
"A lifetime of fideous loneliness
and torture in silence and in dark
ness! What death, what torture,
what punishment can you mete out
to these men that would compare in
hideousness with that which I have
suggested"
After he had ceased speaking, the
others remained in silent contem-
plation Of his proposition for some
time. It was The Cid who broke
the silence.
"Bulf," he said. IT believe he is
right"
