AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING,
The sun, falling behind the moors "that seem to lean for ever westwards, threw a slanting shaft upon the village. It kindled the Norman keep 'caught the rough field where I walked, and played like theatrical melight upon the wall that separates. the pasture end from the beginning of heathery desolation, throwing into rellef a boy and girt fcouched
beneath it.
And who are they?" I asked my small companion.
"Adam and Eve, coartin","said he. Here the lads are still Adams and the lasses still Eves. In the silence of that long spring evening, silent as only moors can be silent when the wind has dropped with the sun, and the grouse, plover, and curlew are making their beds, the fitness of it
as plain beyond all disputing. For here the history of England, that wonderful romance which is cabined and lolled in pens of pedantie scholarship, has worked "itself out f an environment which. nothing can alter. Citles flourish and are sacked: fall and rise again. The past is eloughed away. But Light and Airy. Electric Light & the moors have as much of eternity Bell fatallation, excellent sanitary film is given to our knowledge, and tings and arrangements including villages carry their ghosts bravely. Water Closets. Enamelled Bathe. Here history glides back to pre-
(European Style)
History, and pre-bistory to the conflicting guesswork that is called science Here like as not, if the Limestone carce above the Beck, paleolithic man couched and cooked- and loved; who knows but what a diligent search would find here, as so many similar spots, the bones of woolly rhinoceros and of reindeer. and the rough knapped fints that carved them? A chilly paradise for the fest Adam; but none the less à paradise, as one sees the late snow on the northward facing scars takė. instre from the westering sun. Then a break thousands of years are but an evening in this chronology- and Adam reappears, or rather his ghost, with a fine long skull to the skeleton, havers over yonder, leng barrow where he was laid with bis treasure of primitive pots and well- polished fines. His round-akrilled conqueror fatints the barrow not so far away, a'claverer fellow with a skilin bronze, and a wielder of more formidables, weapons, He, too, saw that the place was good, and on such a night plied his courtship on the moorside. Then he made way for the Brigantine of Romian days,” a painted charioteer who improved on the ox-herding of his forerunnėja and fended poultry round his hut. The old Adam of the Yorkshireman was in him, for he knew the ex- change value of “brass.”%-

Roman camps: and our village an outpost that linked the eastern army operating from Lincoln and York with the western army forcing up from Chester. “Adam, gave way, says Tacitus, and affected the elegance of his master he donned the toga and visited the bath scooped in the Geld below the church..
What he deemed to be polish was but the symbol of his servitude," says the embittered historian. Still, the old Adam had always a love of finery, and doubtless Eve encouraged him to a certain foppishness on the bath parade.
The village remained a fort on the mountain road. There came men of the Balkans, a Thracian cohort, courting the young Eves and pilfer ing Adam's fowls. They built an aqueduct over the moor so that the water should never fail the "drafts passing over from York to Carlisle to do service. on the Great Wall Ar Inscription tells us of the repairs they did after a devastating fire.
