She rose at last, and taking off her watch went through the nightly task of wondering where she had put the key after using it last.

"Because it would be such a silly thing to do," she said, at last.

He read all the notices pasted on the door of the Town Hall and bought some stamps at the post-office, but the morning dragged slowly, and he bent his steps at last in the direction of Tredgold's office, in the faint hope of a little conversation.

"You've got your way at last," said Tredgold, with some severity.

" "She mustn't hear of it till the last moment," said Tredgold, dictatorially; "the quieter we keep the whole thing the better.

"Certainly not," was the reply; "I don't want anybody to know till the last possible moment.

"] "Is that your last word, Joseph?" he inquired, with solemn dignity.

"And last but not least should be mentioned the greetings that poured in a shower of telegrams and letters from every section of the country, and many from over the sea.

There, the rack'd matron sees her son expire, There, clasps the infant son his murder'd sire, While the sad virgin on her lover's face, Weeps, with the last farewel, the last embrace, And the lone widow too, with frenzied cries, Amid the common wreck, unheeded dies.

Professor Jacks, in some brilliant pages in the 'Hibbert Journal' for last October, studies the relation between the universe and the philosopher who describes and defines it for us.

LECTURE II MONISTIC IDEALISM Let me recall to you the programme which I indicated to you at our last meeting.

First, one word more than what I said last time about the relative foreignness of the divine principle in the philosophy of the absolute.

You remember the proofs of the absolute which I instanced in my last lecture, Lotze's and Royce's proofs by reductio ad absurdum, to the effect that any smallest connexion rashly supposed in things will logically work out into absolute union, and any minimal disconnexion into absolute disunion,these are really arguments framed on the hegelian pattern.

Let us turn now at last to the great question of fact, Does the absolute exist or not?

Practically it is less beautiful; for, as we saw in our last lecture, in representing the deepest reality of the world as static and without a history, it loosens the world's hold upon our sympathies and leaves the soul of it foreign.

Mr. Haldane, for example, in his wonderfully clever Gifford lectures, praises Hegel to the skies, but what he tells of him amounts to little more than this, that 'the categories in which the mind arranges its experiences, and gives meaning to them, the universals in which the particulars are grasped in the individual, are a logical chain, in which the first presupposes the last, and the last is its presupposition and its truth.'

This is Fechner's theory of immortality, first published in the little 'Büchlein des lebens nach dem tode,' in 1836, and re-edited in greatly improved shape in the last volume of his 'Zend-avesta.' We rise upon the earth as wavelets rise upon the ocean.

And this ever re-arising need of making the earlier half elapse first leaves time with always something to do before the last thing is done, so that the last thing never gets done.

Our ideal decomposition of the drops which are all that we feel into still finer fractions is but an incident in that great transformation of the perceptual order into a conceptual order of which I spoke in my last lecture.

The one thing it cannot do is to reveal the nature of thingswhich last remark, if not clear already, will become clearer as I proceed.

Second July Meeting at Newmarket took a lot of people away, and the thunder, hail and rain frightened a lot more away on Thursday, so may as well discuss Esmeralda, which I hadn't time to do last week.

Last time it was Ascot; this time Marlborough House Garden Party.

In heartwood it occurs only in the first and last forms.
