I stood gazing down at the pavement
in hopes that by some process of ex
traction I might discover whether acquit
calda meant warm or cold water.
"Is it a Roman wall, Greebieh, or is
your young devoted down there on his
knees?" queried Rat lab,
"A Roman wall but I'm afraid I can't
scale it."
I dashed frantically for the bell-rope
and gate it a vigorous pull. The ath

boy had always been more or less of a
mystery to ue. Here wa9 Its solution.

the groups of stalwart, unthinking, idle
people, mo.e incomprehensible grows

true, but I am going to ask your opinion
about it.
Seven long cen'uries ago, a Bohemian
monk bad courage enough to doubt the
doctrines of transubstintiation. One
day, however, after the cocsecration of

a miracle to draw him back to the true
faith, and the bishop, in order to fitly
commemorate the return of lost faith,
commanded the cathedral of Orvieto to

KutUb, after one long look, rushed up
the steps and attempted to draw aside
one of those ugly, bed-quilted doors-a
predilection of Italian churches. Two
hideous, blind, maimed old women dart

and extremely clear vision for the de
formities they had just professed. They
fought each other with most of the un
healthy words of which their language
is guilty, at the 6am e time taking breath
to smile, brg, and then to implore the
descent of the evil spirits upon us as
we passed uubeedingly by them.
