He was afraid to go back to his lodgings for fear of Jlorritt. 'I'hat Merritt would kill Ilia, if he got the chanco he felt certain. And Merritt was one of tho.s goinij hanging about for his opportunity. On the whole the best thing would be to walk straight to the Central Brighton Station and take the first' train in the morning to town.

The floasinsf mi.ituro of gin and fog in his throat rendered him more hid- oously hoarse than usual. "Not make up a prayer! And you a regu- lar dab at all that game!

"Merritt, you're crushing the life out ol me." Merritt ceased his rocking for a moment, and tho laughter died out of his gleaming eyes. "I don't want to bo prematoor," ha saiil. "Yes, you'd mako a lovely chaplain's pet, but I can't spare you. I"m going to smash that 'ere wily brain of yours, so as it won't I be useful any more.

Tlio time for action had come. He snatched at MoJritL's right arm and drew tho knotted (ingi'rs down. Tlie ne.xt in- stant and he had bitten Merritt's thumb to the bone. With a cry of rage and pain tho sti;ne was droi>ped. Henson snatched it up and fairly lifted Merritt olT his chest with a blow under tho chin. Mi.Tritt rolled over on tho grass ami Ilenson was on his feet in an in- stant. The great stone went down perilously near to Merritt's head. Still snarling and frothing from tho pain Merritt stumbled to his feet and dashed a blow blindly at tho other. In point of size and strength there was only one in it. Had Ihiiison stood up to his opponent on e-iual terr..s there could only have been one i.ssue. But his nerves were shatter- ed, he was nothing like the man he had been two months ago. At tho turned and lied to- wards tho town, leaving Merritt standing there in blank amazement. "Frightened of me." he muttered. "But this ain't the way it's going to 1 fiiiLsh." j Ho darted olT in hot pursuit; he raci;d across a rising shoulder of tho I hill and cut ofl Henson's retreat.

LONDON'S civic PALACE SCHEMES INVOLVING MIL- LIONS OF POUNDS. Ratepayers Think the County Council Is Spending Too Much Money. By a majority of (J- votes the Lon- don County Council has decided to spend £1,700,001) of tho ratepayers' â-  and money in tho erection of a stately home for themselves and the Council staff on tho banks of tho Thames. The site decided upon consists of an acres abutting on Westminster Bridge, on tho side opposite the Hou.ses of Parliament. For tho ac- quisition of the site the â- i.Jtimated cost is £600,000; for tho building; hundred of Khainmurabi mii.st have jiassed. Tho encaustic decorations of tho Istar Gate, in blue, 'yellow and green tiles, are of much importance to students of Oriental art, for i them, no doubt, we have tho works which inspired the ceramic artists who decorated the palaces of tho Persian Kings at Siisa. From an urchitecLiiral point of view, the ex- cavations have considerable value, for they have shown the very shallow foundation on which tho traditional splendor of tho Temple of Beliio rest- ed. Tho Babylonian Kings, especially Nebuchadezzar, weary us with tho descriptions of the gold, silver and precious stones which they lavished in the decoration of the great tem- ple â€" "making it bright as the day." Shrines plated with gold, walls in- laid with silver and precious stones doors covered with shining stand beside me and made perfe:t whatsoever work I did â€" Nugal, tho war god, the most mighty one of the gods, went beside mo to destroy my foes, and smite down my enem'es." Wo now couio to a really "alaablo historical p<i.ssago, although, unfor- tunately, there is much that wa would wish to learn mi.ssing. The King says: "The A.s.syiian who from ancient times ruled all men and cau.s- od them lo submit to his heavy yoke. I who pity the weak, directed by tho lord of lords, and by tho great strength of Nebo and Meroilach my lords, I .swept their fet't from tho land of Akkad ( Babylonia) and lifted their yoke." Here, then, wo have a brief reference to tho revolt which broku out either at the end of tho reign of Assurbanipul, B.C. ()2.5, or during the reign of Sinsariskum, thn .Saracus of tho Greeks, and of the expulsion of the Assyrians from Babylonia. THE TEMPLE OF NI>riP. There is a certain amount of sar- casm in the words of Nabupalas.sar, when tho King uses the general term, '•the A.ssyrinn" instead of Kings of Assyria. The remainder of the in- scription relates to tho building of tho temple of Xinip, the god of war and hunting, of which the King .says: "The temple of Ninip, which was within .Suanna, the sacred (piar- tor of Babylon, which in remote time a former King had caused to be built, but had not completed, to restore that house I collected the i workmen of Bel-Sanias ami Mero- j dach." Then follow the usual do- tails of the construction, ending with , tho words: "That temple which I re- newed and gave to Ninip my lonl [ I made to be brilliant as the day. '• I The inscription concludes with the I usual request that those come after ; him will respi;ct his records and be ' obedient to tho gods. Tho last words ' arc; very poetic: "When this temple i grows old repair thou its <iecay, and the writing of my name which T havo written place with thy inscription, then the word of Merodach the great lord, which changes not by hi.s word bronze are among the objects of. adornment specified. Tho very ex- tensive e.xplorations of the site of ' this great temple have shown th.it, I if the.se adornments did exist, they ''•."''

Tho charge t.n the county rate involve<l by an ex- penditure of £1,700,000 is about in tho palaces of Nineveh and Kalar and no winged bulls or lions guarderi tho doors. Even more remarkable than the disaplJointiiig results in re- lation to archaeology has been tho £81,000 a year, decreasing by aboMt ' astonishing absence of inscriptions. £9;:i5 a year as the debt is paid oil'.
