JEROME. SS (Copyright, 1895, by Bacheller, Johnson & Bacheller.) They say, the chroniclers who have writ- ten the history of that low-lying, wind- swept coast, that years ago the foam fringe of the ocean lay further to the east; so that where now the North sea creeps among the treacherous sand reefs it was once dry land. In those days, between the abbey and the sea, there stood a town of seven towers and four rich churches, sur- rounded by a wall of twelve stones’ thick- ness, making it, as men reckoned then, a place of strength znd much import; and the monks, glancing their eyes downward frem the abbey garden on the hill, saw beneath their feet its aarrow streets, gay with the ever-passing of rich merchandise; saw its many wharves and waterways, ever noisy with the babel of sirange tongues; saw its many painted masts, wag- ging their grave heads above the dormer roofs and quaintly carved oak gables. Thus the town prospered till there came a night when it did cvil in the sight of God and man. Those were troublous times to Saxon dwellers by the sea, for the Dan- ish water rats swarmed round each river mouth, scenting treasure from afar; and by none was the white flash of :heir sharp, strong tectn more often seen than by the men of Eastern Anglia, and by none in Eastern Anglia more often than by the watchers on the walls of the town of seven towers that once stood upon the dry land, but which now les twenty fathoms deep below the waters. Many a bloody fight raged now without and now within its walls of twelve stones’ thickness. Many a groan of dying man, many a shri of murdered woman, many a wail of mangled child, knocked at the abbey door upon its way to heaven, calling the trembling monks from their beds, to pray for the souls that were passing hy. But at length ce came to the long- troubled land, Dane and Saxon agreeing to dwell in friendship side by side, East AngNa being wide, and there being room for both. And ail men rejoiced greatly, for all were weary of a strife in which little had been gaiaed on either side beyond hard blows, and their thoughts were of the ingle- nook. So the long-bearded Dan their thirsty axes harmiess on their backs, pass- ed to and fro in straggling bands, seeking where undisturbed and undisturbiny they might build their homes; and thus it came about that Haarfager and his company, as the sun was going down, drew near to the town of seven towers, that in those days stood on dry land between the abb and the sea. And the mea of the town, s8¢ Danes, opened wide their ga saying: “We have fousht, but now thi is peace. Enter, and make merry with us, and to- morrow g0 your way.” But Haarfager made answer: “I am an old man; I pray you do not take my words amiss. There is peace between us, as you say, and we thank you for your cour- tesy, but the stains are still fresh upon our swords. Let us cump here without your walls, and a little later, when the grass has grown upon the fields where we have striven, and our young men have had time to forget, we will make merry together, as men should who dwell side by side in the same land.” But the men of the town still urged Haarfager, calling his people neighbors,,| and the abbot, who had hastened down fearing there might be strife, added his werd to theirs, saying: “Pass in, my children. Let there, in- deed, be peace between you, that the blessing of God may be upon the land, and upon both Dane and Saxon,” for the abbot saw that the townsmen were well Gisposed toward the Danes, and knew that men when they had feasted and drunk together think kinder of one an- other. Then answered Haarfager, who knew the abbot for a holy man: “Hold up your staff, my father, that the shadow of the cross your people worship may fall upon our path, so we will pass into the town and there shall be peace between us, for ‘though your gods are not our gods faith between man ard man is of all temples.” And the abbot held his staff aloft be- tween Haarfager’s people and the sun, it being fashioned in the form of a cross, and under its shedow the Danes passed by into the town of seven towers, there being of them, with the women and the little children, nearly two thousand souls, and the gates were made fast behind them. So they who had fought face to face, feasted side by side, pledging one another in the wine cup, as was the custom, and Haarfager’s men, knowing theinselves among friends, had cast aside their arms, and when the feast was done, being weary, they jay down to sleep. Then an evil voice arose in the town and said: “Who are these that have come re our land? Are not the e's red with the blood of wite and child that they have slain? Do men let the woif go free when they have trapped him with meat? Let us fall upon them now that they are heavy with food and wine, so that not one among them shail escape, Thus no further harm shall come to us from them nor from their children.” And the voice of evil prevailed, and the men of the town of seven towers fell upon the Danes with whom they _ had broken meat, even to the women and the little children, and the blood of the people of Haarfager cried wi a loud voice at the abbey door; through the long night it cried, saying: : “I trusted in your spoken word. I broke meat with you. I put my faith in you and your God. I passed beneath the shad- ow of your cross to enter your doors. Let your Ged make answer!” Nor was there silence till the dawn. Then the abbot rose from where he knelt and called to God, saying: “Thou hast heard, oh, God. Make answer. And there came a great sound from the sea as though a topgue had been given to the deep, so that the monks fell upon their knees in fear, but the abbot answered, “It is the voice of God, speaking through the waters. He hath made answer.” Ard that winter a mighty storm arose, the like of which no man had known be- fore; for the sea was piled upon the dry land until the highest tower of the town of seven towers was not more high; and the waters moved forward over the dry land. And the men of the town of seven towers fled from the oncoming of the waters, but the waters overtook them so that not one of them escaped. And the town of the seven towers, and of the four churches, and of the many streets and quays, was buried underneath the waters; and the feet of the waters still moved, till they came to the hill whereon the abbey stood. Then the abbot prayed to God that the waters might be stayed, and God heard, and the sea come no farther. And that this tale is true, and not a fable made by the weavers of words, he who 4oupts may know from the fisher- folk, who today ply their calling among the reefs erd sandbanks of that lonely coast. For there are those among them who, peering frcm tae bows of their small craft, have seen far down beneath their keels a city of strange streets and many quays. But as to this, I, who repeat these things to you, cannot speak of my own knowledge, for this city of the sea is only visible when a rare wind, blowing from the north, sweeps the shadows from the and though on many a sunny day drifted where its seven towers should once have stood, yet for me that wind has never blown, pushing back the curtains of the sea, and, therefore, I have strained my eyes in vain. But this I do know, that the crumbling stones of that ancient abbey, between which and the foam fringe of the ocean the town of*seven towers once lay, now stands upon a wave-washed cliff, and that he who icoks forth from its shattered mullions today sees only the marshland and the wrinkled waters; hears only the plaint of the circling gulls and the weary crying of the sea. And that God’s anger is not everlasting, and that the evil that there is in men shall be blotted out, he who doubts may also learn from the wisdom of the simple fisher- folk, who dwell zbout the borders of the marshland; for they will tell him that on stormy nights, there speaks a deep voice from the sea, calling the dead monks to rise from their forgotten graves, and chant a mass for the souls of the men of the town of seven towers. Clothed in long glittering white, they move with slowly pacing feet around the abbey’s grass-grown aisles, and the music of their pr: rs is heard above the screaming of the storm. And to this I also can bear witness, for I have seen the ng of their shrouded forms behind the ness of the shattered shafts; I have ir sweet, sad singing above the wailing of the wind Thus for many ages have the dead monks ing the prayed that the men of the town of seyen tawers may be forgiven. Thus for many ages yet shall they so pray till the day comes when of their once fair abbey not a pee ge stove shall stand upon its fellow; and in that day it shall be known that the anger of God against the men of the tewn of seven towers has passed away; and in that day the feet of the waters shall move back, and the town of seven towers shall stand again upon the dry land. ‘There be some, I know, who say that this is but a legend; who will tell you that the shadowy shapes that you see with your own eyes on stormy nights, waving their gleaming arms behind the ruined but- tresses, are but of phosphorescent foam, tossed by the raging waves above the cliffs; and that the sweet, sad harmony, cleaving the trouble of the night, is but the aeolian music of the wind. But such are of the blind, who see only with their eyes. For myself, I see the white-robed monks, and hear the chanting of their mass for the souls of the sinful men of the town of seven towers. For it has been said that when an evil deed is done, a prayer is born to follow it through time into eternity, ard plead for it. Thus is the whole world clasped around with folded hands, both of the dead and of the living, as with a shield, lest the shafts of God's anger should consume it. Therefore, I know that the good mor:ks of this nameless abbey still are praying that the sin of those they loved may be forgiven. God grant good men may say a mass for us. ————— ARRESTED IN GERMANY. Indignitics to a Naturalized American Citizen. William Glaser, an engineer on the Val- ley railroad and a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, has just returned from a visit to his old home in Germany. Glaser came to this country nine years ago, when a boy, and is a naturalized citizen. While in Reichsnau, Germany, he was arrested and thrown into prison for having failed to serve three years in the army, as required by the German law. The authorities in- formed him that for this offense he bad been fined 200 marks and must serve forty days in jail. His passport, signed by Sec- retary Gresham, was taken from him and numerous other indignities offered. The cell in which he was confined was in a most filthy condition. After much trouble Glaser succeeded in securing a hearing, and was finally told that his sentence had been remitted, but that he must not leave Germany until his case had been investigated by a higher court. He, however, left the country at the first opportunity. While in jail Mr. Glaser learned that an American citizen was in an adjoining cell and had been there for thirteen months be- cause he refused to join the army. Glaser has not yet decided as to whether he will make a report to the State Department con- cerning the matter. ——_ + e+_____ An Alleged Unlicensed Pawnbroker. Myer B.
