Gages de sa valeur Suspendus en echarpe, Son epée et sa harpe Croisaient sur son cœur. Il rencontre en chemin Pelerine jolie Qui voyage et qui prie Un rosaire a la main, Colerette aux longs plies Gouvre sa fine taille, Et grande chapeau de paille Cache son front divin. "Ah! gentil Troubadour, Si tu reviens fidele, Chant un couplet pour celle Qui benit ton retour."
"Poker, bridge, chemin de fer, I like 'em all," he rattled on, "but they don't like me. So I stick to solitaire. It's dull, but cheap." He shuffled the cards clumsily. As though making conversation, he asked: "You care for cards yourself?" I told him truthfully I did not know the difference between a club and a spade and had no curiosity to learn.
The air she knew, and the voice she knew. The chanson was, "Le Voleur de grand Chemin!" The voice was her husband's. She knew the words, too; and even before she could hear them, they were fitting into the air: "Qui va la! There's some one in the orchard, There's a robber in the apple-trees; Qui va la! He is creeping through the doorway. Ah, allez-vous-en! Va-t'-en!"

Twenty minutes later Tournefort, who was riding ahead of his companions, spied a tall, stooping figure at the spot where the Chemin de Gentilly forks, and where stands a group of isolated houses and bits of garden, which belong to la Sante.

Haig's First Corps was more successful farther east; Vendresse and Troyon were captured and the Chemin des Dames was almost reached. But D'Esperey's 5th French army could make little impression on the Craonne plateau; Foch's 9th was unable to force the Suippe to the east of Reims, and Langle's 4th, while it occupied Souain, was similarly held up in Champagne.
Nous avions fait peu de chemin, quand nous vimes venir
Or sus, mon pauvre coeur, nous voila tombez dans la fosse, laquelle nous avions tant resolu d' eschapper. Ah! relevons-nous, et quittons-la pour jamais, reclamons la misericorde de Dieu, et esperons en elle qu'elle nous assistera pour desormais estre plus fermes; et remettons-nous au chemin de l'humilite. Courage, soyons meshuy sur nos gardes, Dieu nous aydera. 'The way of humility.

There were five of us altogether Mr. Bundercombe, Mrs. Delaporte, myself, a Mr. Dimsdale, and the Honorable Montague Pelham, a young gentleman of the best family. When we arrived at Mrs.
"Allez!" my policeman cried to the French-Canadian driver, seating himself by my side. "A la gare du chemin de fer Pacific! Aussi vite que possible!" I understood every word. This was wonderful. My memory was coming back again. The man tore along the streets to the Pacific railway station. By the time we reached it we had distanced the sightseers, though some of them gave chase.
