THE CHASE OF SAINT-CASTIN AND OTHER STORIES OF THE FRENCH IN THE NEW WORLD BY MARY HARTWELL CATHERWOOD [Illustration] 1894 THE CHASE OF SAINT-CASTIN. The waiting April woods, sensitive in every leafless twig to spring, stood in silence and dim nightfall around a lodge. Wherever a human dwelling is set in the wilderness, it becomes, by the very humility of its proportions, a prominent and aggressive point. But this lodge of bark and poles was the color of the woods, and nearly escaped intruding as man’s work....

AD 401 THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT AUGUSTINETranslated by Edward Bouverie Pusey BOOK I Great art Thou, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Thy power, and Thy wisdom infinite. And Thee would man praise; man, but a particle of Thy creation; man, that bears about him his mortality, the witness of his sin, the witness that Thou resistest the proud: yet would man praise Thee; he, but a particle of Thy creation....

THE COUNTRY BEYOND A ROMANCE OF THE WILDERNESS BY JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD AUTHOR OF THE VALLEY OF SILENT MEN, THE FLAMING FOREST, ETC. A glass of wine once lost a kingdom, a nail turned the tide of a mighty battle, and a woman’s smile once upon a time destroyed the homes of a million people. Thus have trivial things played their potent parts in the history of human lives; yet these things Peter did not know....

THE HEAVENLY TWINS BY MADAME SARAH GRANDAUTHOR OF “IDEALA,” ETC. ETC. “They call us the Heavenly Twins.”“What, signs of the Zodiac?” said the Tenor. “No; signs of the times,” said the Boy. The time is racked with birth-pangs; every hour Brings forth some gasping truth, and truth new-born Looks a misshapen and untimely growth, The terror of the household and its shame, A monster coiling in its nurse’s lap That some would strangle, some would starve; But still it breathes, and passed from hand to hand, And suckled at a hundred half-clad breasts Comes slowly to its stature and its form, Calms the rough ridges of its dragon scales, Changes to shining locks its snaky hair, And moves transfigured into Angel guise, Welcomed by all that cursed its hour of birth, And folded in the same encircling arms That cast it like a serpent from their hold!...

OF WHAT HAPPENED DON QUIXOTE ON HIS WAY TO BARCELONA It was a fresh morning giving promise of a cool day as Don Quixote quitted the inn, first of all taking care to ascertain the most direct road to Barcelona without touching upon Saragossa; so anxious was he to make out this new historian, who they said abused him so, to be a liar....

The posting of the Five Armies this Winter–Five of them in Germany, not counting the Russians, who have vanished to Cimmeria over the horizon, for their months of rest–is something wonderful, and strikes the picturesque imagination. Such a Chain of Posts, for length, if for nothing else! From the centre of Bohemia eastward, Daun’s Austrians are spread all round the western Silesian Border and the southeastern Saxon; waited on by Prussians, in more or less proximity....

THE LAND OF FOOTPRINTS by Stewart Edward White 1913 I. ON BOOKS OF ADVENTURE Books of sporting, travel, and adventure in countries little known to the average reader naturally fall in two classes-neither, with a very few exceptions, of great value. One class is perhaps the logical result of the other. Of the first type is the book that is written to make the most of far travels, to extract from adventure the last thrill, to impress the awestricken reader with a full sense of the danger and hardship the writer has undergone....

DYNEVOR CASTLE. “La-ha-hoo! la-ha-hoo!” Far down the widening valley, and up the wild, picturesque ravine, rang the strange but not unmusical call. It awoke the slumbering echoes of the still place, and a hundred voices seemed to take up the cry, and pass it on as from mouth to mouth. But the boy’s quick ears were not to be deceived by the mocking voices of the spirits of solitude, and presently the call rang out again with greater clearness than before: “La-ha-hoo!...
