Give him' time to rest and descant upon the origin of Roman roads and barrows and cromlechs , and above all give him titnn for folk lore tales and buga boos and whispered nivstorios of the lordly halls high up among tbo parks nnd demesnes. Never care for the passing hours. The thatches of coltagos lean everywhere along the Avon almost to Its brink. You have no need for an inn. With your peasant com panion you will bo welcome everywhere at night with the peasantry. By and bv you will coma to the vulos among tbo Cots- wolds.

" By and by your boat comes under the shadows of a gray old abbny town. Near it ' Is Ouorhurst , whe'ro kings older than Alfred worshiped. The Avon has sung itself to sloop in tbo bosom of the sliver Severn , and there , bj Olnoy , Cnut and Edmund Ironside met and divided England between Dane And Saxon.

One Is thnt of King John , thn earliest rovnl eniey in any of the English churches. The ether Is the monument ot Bishop Hough , of Mugdnlon college colobrlty , whom Jnmos II. succeeded in malting the English thoroughly romomber. This mingling of the old nnd now Is nota bly characteristic of Worcester. There uro bustling streets with broad pnvonionts nnd busy river wharves.

There is ono venerable fortified gateway , and another graceful medkuval arch , whllo there are streets nnd wynds and closes with antiquated * names llko Forgato nnd Fryars. So , too , there are many , many Umbered houses with these flue old open galleries which used to look down upon the court yards of inns and hostclrios when wngonors and cartmon llucd to keep an ova on their goods and guests shouted for serv ants Instead ot ringing for them. Just im ItVilH n\o Hundred Yours Ago. But tbo quaintest , sweetest place in all the Cotswold and Malvorn hills is ancient Broad way. Broadway street Is its old nnd pleasant name , derived from that grout reader or trackway loading from the \\ost of England to London nnd the cast coast , and hero anciently called the "Brndwein , " from the shepherds' "colics on the mounted wo'ds ' down to the most fruitful vale of Evosham. " It Is ono long , wide , straggling strocl , with a large , open triangular grcon , at ono end branching into two great roads , ono to Chelt enham and ono to Evoshti'n.

Low stone walls in front enclose lltllo old world par dons wilb clipped and fancifully shaped yew Irrcs. There are two of the quaintest inns in England here. Conches nnvo run to and from them , as now , for hundreds of years ; for Broadway is beyond the sound of the railway , and the restful hostclries abound In Interesting bits of detail , old oak doors and hinges , old class and casement fastenings and most curious chimnov pieces , plaster ceilings and paneled rooms.
