201s. RS. 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.”

““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. | :

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

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-

“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,

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

on the opposite side turned and saw

“Well, wouldn't that get you!’ he
ejaculated, and then called out:

Never in the "world had anything

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
