Geer's entrance, and he now expressed his regret for Ivy's illness, and hoped that she would soon be well, and able to resume her studies; and, with a few words of interest and inquiry to Mrs. Geer, took his leave. "I wonder if Mrs. Simm has been putting her foot in it!" thought he, as he stalked home rather more energetically than was his custom.
But what a wild young woman to do that upon such little provocation, for how should she know that he was about to run away with her father's vessel! "This is a bad business," he said to the black-haired man, "and who would have thought it?" "I see not that," said Black Paul, "nor why you should trouble yourself about her. She is gone, and you are well rid of her.
It would seem, indeed, as though it had been the architect's intention to gradually wean the pilgrims from the physical to the spiritual, for as they began to ascend from stage to stage of the temple-hill they were insensibly drawn from material, every-day things to the realities of religion, so that by the time the dagoba at the top was reached they had passed through a course of religious instruction, as it were, and were ready, with enlightened eyes, to enter and behold the image of Buddha, symbolically left imperfect, as beyond the power of human art to realize or portray.

Before going into the details of anti-trust legislation, it would be well to sketch its history on the broadest possible lines. Legislation began first in the States some years before the Federal Anti-trust Law, or Sherman Act, first enacted in 1890.
To say that I was delighted would be putting it mildly. But the document with the Congressman's signature attached to it was not very much of itself. I was a captain in name only.
