the pope parsed, or presenting
halbreds at the appearance of a
cardinal.
Cardinal Repond put 'em into
plain, servicable khaki uniforms,
ordered a lot of modern Mauser
rifles and appointed his cousin,
Piefro Glossen, chief of staff.
Glossen has the modern idea,
too. He marched the guards up
hill and down dale, transforming
the Belvedereicqurt of the Vatican
into a veritable field of Mars, The
guards charged and skirmished,
deployed, advanced and retreated.
For hours daily they drilled and
sweated. Some of them had done
nothing more active in 30 years
thaivto kneel and draw their sal
ary. Pope Pius and scores of other
church dignitaries daily watchedJ
the drilling, with keen enjoyment
of the astounding maneuvers or
the former dignified Swiss. But
the Swigs guard didn't enjoy it
a hit. V
Finally a sergeant told Glossen
just what he thought about this
drill idea. GJossen sent him to
'the guard house. The sergeant
appealed, first to Monsignore
Corraggioni d'Oreali, chaplajn of
the guaTd, and then to Cardinal
Merry del VaL They held against
him, so he had to resign on full
pay for life.
The worst is over. The Swiss
seem resigned to the inevitable.
But if the entire corps should re
sign, it would mean the wiping
out of the last vestige of that fa
mous and picturesque medieval
institution, the paid mercenaries.

His scientific wealth untold
Lost in new wonder cannot say
