THE. SPECTATOR'S VISION OF SIR ROGER Although the club is dissolved and Sir Roger ended in this world, I, in relating my vision to some, last night at a coffee house, was requested to add it to the papers, thus making a grand finale. After everyone had left the spot where Sir Roger lay buried on his funeral day. and everything was quiet save the weeping willows, I by chance happened to be sadly strolling along a little brook some distance away, with thoughts of our deceased companion. Suddenly my attention was drawn heavenward, for what should I behold but a ray of blinding light rapidly approaching the earth. The ray fell upon the good old knight's resting place, and in a twinkling appeared a silver winged creature, in our language termed an angel. The vision immediately by his silver wand caused the earth to open, and I again saw to wy delight the dear old knight's face as cheerful as ever. A brief space of perfect stillness fol- lowed, so that the knight could collect his wits after so much excitement and con- fusion, caused him by his funeral, and could also become accustomed to the bright light. Then a voice from the vision called forth, Prepare yourself for admittance to the Gate. NI am prepared. seriously replied Sir Roger. Indeed, nothing but yourself is allowed upon the golden stairs. But how can I part with this suit, which style has been so dear'to me F' Fie, fie, Sir Roger, and in a moment the angelic creature disappeared as quickly as it came. Sir Roger, somewhat bewildered at such reprimands, finally decided that he would give up the suit and chance finding the widow whom he had vainly sought on earth, in heaven. So he made his way up the golden stairs and safely arrived at the Great Gate. Serious-minded Saint Peter called out: 'AName In The answer came back to him. Sir Roger de Coverleyf' Queried again, Afoot or mounted ? Afoot, Saint Peter. No admittance unless mounted, Sir Roger. The poor old knight with downcast spirits sadly began to retrace his steps. Then suddenly I myself began to climb the golden stairs and in a few moments came face to face with Sir Roger, who, observing me, exclaimed that there was no use in my going further, being unmounted- I. however, responded that much might be said on both sides. Suddenly a happy thought came to Sir Roger. He proposed that I act as his horse and in that way we could both enter. I readily agreed, and so we hastened on to the Great Gate. Saint Peter again thundered out, WhoIs there P The answer, Sir Roger de Coverleyf' was duly given. Then as before, 'fAfoot or mounted ? Mounted this time, Saint Peter- Very well. Sir Roger. pass in, but hitch your horse outside. RUTH HOREL.
