PONT IFT lived in a a y land of dre: ams—that beau- 0 o tiful isle ‘of any where. Her 1 “lines were cast in places that admitted of an almost total exemption from the sordid af- fairs of domesticity. When, as it oc- casiorially chanced, plain, practical Mr. Pontiff requested from her some serv- ice demanding action, the look of gen- tle, surprised reproach she turned up- on him, made him feel that he was a thing of clay: Her eyes, like old folks’ memories, excelled in sights at long range. With ears, eyes and thoughts for away she was a combination of amiability, absent mindedness and vis- ionary abstraction. One morning Mri Pontiff received telegram from an en route sister. ‘‘She will have to-be met, Helen, said, impressively. . “We will meet but we will miss her, murmured § Sonny Pontiff. “Her train arrives at 12.50, don't for- get, Helen.” “She can remember that, because it'll be ten to one if she catches it,” argued - Sonny. “I'll telephone up to you when it is time to start,” said the head of the family, ignoring the interpolations of his offspring. “I¥'s such a beautiful day, I think I will walle to the station,” said Mrs. Pontiff sweetly. “TF fear you will forget your destina- tion,” said her husband anxiously. “Oh, Henry, I am not quite as bad as that!” faintly protested Mrs. Pon- tiff, “You really cxaggerate ray fail- ing.” fig “Helen,” replied Mr. Pontiff earnest- ly, “I'couldn’t do that. When I recall the time you alighted from the street car and left little Sonny to take five round trips before you remembered his existence, I do not feel as if there was. anything you could fasten in your memory.” Mrs. Pontiff sighe years ago. I wish I could forget Sonny length: of time.” .% ““Het “forgetting mé wasn’t ‘half so remarkable as her squandering eight cold ‘dollars on a pair of slippers to wear”to the charity’ ball and th#n for- getting to take off Ler rubbers,” chimed in Sonny. | : “Now, who is it, Helen, you are go- ing to meet? > asked Mg. Pontiff warn- ingly, as he started for the. office. ” he “That was some There are ‘titnes now when for that * aYour sister,” she replied triom- phantly. “And what time does her train ar- rive?’ H “One-ten,” she said, hesitatingly, Mwhile Sonny laughed in hig delight. Eh, Helen, 1250, prompted Mr. Pontiff. “Now, Sonny Surely said one-ten.’ “Never pay the slightest- attention to what “Sonny says.” “She had better this tkme, if she is goiflg ‘to valle ‘to “thé “station. Now, mother, don’t try to swim across the river or look for a ferry. You know they.tore up the bridge six months ago to build a new one, and people are us- ing, a little foot bridge. » “Why, I didn’t know they were . build-: ing a new bridge,” exclaimed Mrs. Pontiff in- surprise, ‘but’ then, 1 haven’f been on the street in a year.’ “Why, “mother! ‘It's - the widest bridge in the United States!” “How perfectly foolish to build the widest bridge in the country across the warrowest river in the world!” “Well, then, don’t you see,” laughed Sonny, ‘that it is then the shortest bridge in the world, so it is as broad as it is long.” » “You are getting into dcep waters, Sonny,” interposed Mr. Pontiff. “You remind me of a man who was Presi- dent of a street car line that was only aymile long. He was posing at a na- aaatiopal meeting of the Street Car As- ark _sociation as a magnate. He made a Sp sch, and in one of his most impres- ive pauses some one sneered: ‘Sit B1Y “8 gown?! Your road’s only a mile long? “True,” he said, ‘true, my road is only a mile Jong, but it is just as wide as any road ‘inthe world.”” . The-day was one of those indescrib- able links between late spring and ear- ly summer. There were delightful promises in the air of coming beauties, and Mrs. Pontiff, as she made heriway stationward, felt at y with all man- kind, even unto -her ¢ sister-in- law, She walked on in dreamy ness of all about her sky, the soft air and s ace for the e licate ‘giving them QF & breeze until she:came to’ the river. Must she cross on that single narrow beam extending from shore to shcre? She looked helplessly about her. It was the noon hour and no one was in speaking distance save a solitary la- berer on the opposite bank. She could never get her courage to walk that plank. Then she recalled what Sonny had said about people using this tcem- porary foot bridge. “I ought to be ashomed,” she. rea- soned, “to be afraid to do what prob- ably thousands cf peopic do daily. 1 suppose every man, woman and child in. Elktown have tripped acrgss this river ou this plank. I am always the last one in town to-ds anything.” Sncouraged by these “self-su~ges- tions, she put one slender, unsteady foot on the beam. Thea another Arem- ulous step and che paised on the brink. “Oh, 1 can’t!” she wailed. Then she remembered Henry's tales of how his pioneer mother, in her - ly days, went to a Western wilderness to live and used to Cross tad’ ri er on stringers. Reinforced by this colonial recollec- tion, she took a few steps. Thén the eifect of the ‘stimulating reéfiections passed away and left her weak, belp- less and scared dimwey. across the sluggish, mild ‘stream, which. now seemed to hier a roaring cataract. “How could I have cver said it was the nar- rowest river in thé world? thought. She was now utterly paralyzed from tervor-and unable to take another step. There was only one thing she could do, sue and she did it strenuously: She screamed. The lone laborer: working on the opposite side turned and saw lier. “Well, wouldn't that get you!’ he ejaculated, and then called out: ‘‘IIold on there! I'm a-coming’’ and be hadtened toward lier. Never in the "world had anything looked more beautiful to her than the sight of this stoggy, red-faced, blue- overalled, black-piped laborer ap- proaching her with a step of ease and air of security. When he reached her Le turned about. . “Put your arms around me, “shut your eyes and hang on tight She obeyed these instructions so plicitly that the laborer had an electric ‘rheumatic iis waists Mrs. Pontiff had always -been-.con- scious of an instictive shrinking from the “common people,” but she followed this plebeian coarse-garbed toiler blind- Ir and willingly. 0 im- if he belt about as Teil “Here we bel” he annoy iced cheer- fully, and Mrs. Por iit fe her frichtened eyes to: find herséif once more on the beloved terra firma.

The Maid of Orléans used a battle sword which she secured from the burial vaults of an ancient church. Charlemagne’s sword, ‘which he called Joyeuse, is still preserved in the Church of St. Danis, and was carried in front of the processions at the cor- onation of the kings of France. Nearly all. ‘heroic legends of that age make mention of swords which bore special names. The Cid, for example, had the Tizona. When a hero died his sword was carried at the funeral and depos- jted in the ckurch. The sword of God- (rey of Bouillon was kept at his burial chapel in the church of the Holy Sep- nlchre, where it remaired as the only focal relic of the crusades. fined in the sum of $350. The next day, according to tom followed in the Id the cus- 19 courts, the Judge called upon Mr. Dubois to oc cupy the bench for him during the transaction of some comparatively un- important business.
