Often, as your horse gaining some lofty level tract, flat as a table, trots gayly over the almost deserted and sodded road, and your admiring eye sweeps the broad landscape beneath, you seem to be Bootes driving in heaven. Save a potato field here and there, at long intervals, the whole country is either in wood or pasture. Horses, cattle and sheep are the principal inhabitants of these mountains.

As it appears to our eyes Aldebaran gives one twenty-five-thousand-millionth as much light as the sun, but if we were placed midway between them the star would outshine the sun in the ratio of not less than 160 to 1. And yet, gigantic as it is, Aldebaran is possibly a pygmy in comparison with Arcturus, whose possible dimensions were discussed in the chapter relating to Boötes.

By reason of its height it never touches the horizon, because in an equal time, the smallest circle in which the Bear is, and the largest in which Orion is, revolves in the periphery of the world. And Bootes, slowly sinking because it makes a frequent setting, has that kind of position, that is carried along in a straight line.

"Sept: the 9th: Cloathes: 1. Shirt: 3: bands: 8 handkecheirfs: 4 neckcloaths: 7: pa: cuffs: 1. bootes tops: 1 cap: an old towell: a Napkin." The writer was evidently young, poor, and a dandy. The cap was probably that which he wore when he laid aside his wig. will examine the fac-simile in Mr. And that both pencil and ink readings are by the same hand remains to be proved.

No sleep could seize his eye-lids. He beheld the Pleiads, the Bear which is by some called the Wain, that moves round about Orion, and keeps still above the ocean, and the slow-setting sign Bootes, which some name the Waggoner. Seventeen days he held his course, and on the eighteenth the coast of Phæacia was in sight.

In all ages it has been considered proof of first-class eyes, to see this little star. Can you see it? Have you the eyes of a hunter? Orion the Hunter, and His Fight With the Bull In the 49th Tale I told you there were two giants among the mighty hunters in the sky, Boötes, whose adventure with the Bears you have already heard, and Orion. Orion was the most famous of all.

I shall expect youle hunt with me i'th morning; I have a pack of Doggs sent me will make The Forrest ring. Fra. Ile cheerefully attend you, I love the sport; as earlie as you please, Sir. Ri. I wish wee had all pleasures to delight you, But no thing wants in my true love to serve you. Fra. Yet I must cuckold him; I cannot helpe it. Act the Third. Enter Thomas with Sir Richards bootes. Tho. Sir.

Then, for the first time, the Great and Little Bear were scorched with heat, and would fain, if it were possible, have plunged into the water; and the Serpent which lies coiled up round the north pole, torpid and harmless, grew warm, and with warmth felt its rage revive. Bootes, they say, fled away, though encumbered with his plough, and all unused to rapid motion.

"Have you heard a rumour that he is going to marry Miss Bootes?" naming one of the richest heiresses cf the day. "No; I hadn't heard it." Lorraine gave a quick glance at her face, but saw only the look of concentration on the fractious fastener. "Well," Hal said in level tones, " I suppose she is worth about half a million, and I don't think he is rich."
