The all but mythical halls of Graustark the sombre, vaulted, time-defying corridors of his fancy. Somewhere in this vast pile of stone was the girl he loved. Each shadowy nook, each velvety recess, seemed to glow with the wizardry of love-lamps that had been lighted with the building of the Castle. How many hearts had learned the wistful lesson in these aged halls?

I know naught of tricks or wizardry, but I think high Heaven hath chosen this way of showing who shall be lord of this land, and I think this young man is rightful King of us all. ''Tis some base-born churl's son that the wizard Merlin would foist upon us! cried the barons. 'We will have none of him!

I know, for I have seen it, and they will demand from you magic greater than their magic." "What of it, John?"

Yet Brookes always held a gallery enthralled, not only by the sheer wizardry of his play, but by the power of his magnetic force. Maurice E.
