For a moment in that intricate tracing of ebony and ivory made by the rising moon, he was dazzled, but evidently his irruption into the orchard had not been as lithe and silent as her own, for a figure in a parti-colored dress suddenly started into activity, and running from the wall, began to course through the trees until it became apparently a part of that involved pattern.

The meadows, lush with the largess of the melting snow fields above, resounded to the liquid gurgling of myriads of red and yellow-shouldered blackbirds wheeling and swinging over them in clouds of parti-colored animation; the streams, no longer mere empty stretches of thirsty sand and dry white bowlders, were roaring the lusty pean of well-filled bellies and over-flushed veins.

and so the Austrian woman of 1776 and the Spanish woman of 1856 found amusement in very similar ways. They plunged into a sea of strange frivolity, such as one finds to-day at the centers of high fashion. Marie Antoinette bedecked herself with eccentric garments. On her head she wore a hat styled a "what-is-it," towering many feet in height and flaunting parti-colored plumes.

Then, as the full force of the charge and the weight of the enemy's body some twenty-seven and a half pounds took him, he hugged, round-arm fashion, with his talons, and, still grabbing and scrunching, rolled over backwards. Cat and badger turned into a ball a parti-colored ball, very lively as to its center, and it whirled. Unfortunately there was not much room to whirl in.

We will call the vehicle a chariot, as it is more complimentary than the title of wagon. Four huge wheels held the body of this vehicle, from which rose posts striped like barbers' poles, decorated with parti-colored curtains. Underneath the chariot hung all sorts of queer looking things kegs of wine, rope, ladders, baskets, and hoops with torn covers of rose colored tissue paper.

I picked out some of the smallest people, looked over their heads, and saw several young farmers, in parti-colored jackets, and very red in the face, bouncing up and down on handsome cart-horses.

While all the restless tide of humanity moves to the West, the globe turns itself to the East. On its surface, Man is much like the acrobat we see at the theatres, who, mounted on his parti-colored ball, faces one way while it moves the other. It must be a queer spectacle to those who, from the planetary dress circle of the universe, are watching us through their opera glasses.

Through the parti-colored windows, crossed with broad bands of red, the branches of the lindens swayed in the wind, and the fluttering tendrils of the ivy cast strange, flickering shadows of blue, violet, and almost sinister scarlet upon the guests seated in the nave. Outside, in the square in front of the church, the crowd waited the end of the ceremony.

From each man's girdle hung sword or axe, according to his humor, and over the right hip there jutted out the leathern quiver with its bristle of goose, pigeon, and peacock feathers. Behind the bowmen strode two trumpeters blowing upon nakirs, and two drummers in parti-colored clothes.

The priests set up a falsetto chant, the banner-bearers lifted their staves, and the parti-colored mass moved down on them. "It's like a flower-bed on a landslide!" exclaimed Eleanor. Mark Heath gravely pulled out his left cuff and took rapid notes with a pencil. "That goes into the story anything more up your sleeve like that?" "Wasn't it good?
