Scores of men burned incense at her dainty shrine and swore ar- dent vows at her arched feet. Some loved her for her beauty, others de- gired her for her wealth. But she had neither taste nor sympathy for either of them. A thousand times she had eagerly protested that neither her position nor fortune could be bettered by a marriage, ard, unlike most women under iden- tical circumstances, she had really meant what she had said But lately, alter fifteen wears of adulation and corquest, when a 17 year old daughter was looming on the horizon of her ecureer, little Lady Christine sometimes fierself watching for a certain hand- some face at the opera. waiting for a particular tall, square shouldered fig- ner an the Mainwaring sGeiety, i ¢l. she One sccond She baby, ridiculsusiy cheery one hour, absurdly depressed the next.

It was translated by John Eliot into the Algonkin lan- gaage, for the Indians. The following facts relating to the present value ol this and other old bibles will prove interesting.
