Observer Classic Books

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo CHAPTER XI - CONTINUED A RESTRICTION Without going deeply into questions which are only indirectly connected with the subject of this book, we will simply say this: It would have been well if Monseigneur Bienvenu had not been a Royalist, and if his glance had never been, for a single instant, turned away from that serene contemplation in which is distinctly discernible, above the fictions and the hatreds of this world, above the stormy vicissitudes of human things, the beaming of those three pure radiances, truth, justice, and charity.

While admitting that it was not for a political office that God created Monseigneur Welcome, we should have understood and admired his protest in the name of right and liberty, his proud opposition, his just but perilous resistance to the all-powerful Napoleon. But that which pleases us in people who are rising pleases us less in the case of people who are falling. We only love the fray so long as there is danger, and in any case, the combatants of the first hour have alone the right to be the exterminators of the last. He who has not been a stubborn accuser in prosperity should hold his peace in the face of ruin. The denunciator of success is the only legitimate executioner of the fall. As for us, when Providence intervenes and strikes, we let it work.

1812 commenced to disarm us. In 1813 the cowardly breach of silence of that taciturn legislative body, emboldened by catastrophe, possessed only traits which aroused indignation. And it was a crime to applaud, in 1814, in the presence of those marshals who betrayed; in the presence of that senate which passed from one dunghill to another, insulting after having deified; in the presence of that idolatry which was loosing its footing and spitting on its idol,— it was a duty to turn aside the head. In 1815, when the supreme disasters filled the air, when France was seized with a shiver at their sinister approach, when Waterloo could be dimly discerned opening before Napoleon, the mournful acclamation of the army and the people to the condemned of destiny had nothing laughable in it, and, after making all allowance for the despot, a heart like that of the Bishop of D——, ought not perhaps to have failed to recognize the august and touching features presented by the embrace of a great nation and a great man on the brink of the abyss.

With this exception, he was in all things just, true, equitable, intelligent, humble and dignified, beneficent and kindly, which is only another sort of benevolence. He was a priest, a sage, and a man. It must be admitted, that even in the political views with which we have just reproached him, and which we are disposed to judge almost with severity, he was tolerant and easy, more so, perhaps, than we who are speaking here.

The porter of the town-hall had been placed there by the Emperor. He was an old non-commissioned officer of the old guard, a member of the Legion of Honor at Austerlitz, as much of a Bonapartist as the eagle. This poor fellow occasionally let slip inconsiderate remarks, which the law then stigmatized as seditious speeches.

After the imperial profile disappeared from the Legion of Honor, he never dressed himself in his regimentals, as he said, so that he should not be obliged to wear his cross. He had himself devoutly removed the imperial effigy from the cross which Napoleon had given him; this made a hole, and he would not put anything in its place.

“I will die,” he said, “rather than wear the three frogs upon my heart!” He liked to scoff aloud at Louis XVIII. “The gouty old creature in English gaiters!” he said; “let him take himself off to Prussia with that queue of his.” He was happy to combine in the same imprecation the two things which he most detested, Prussia and England. He did it so often that he lost his place.

There he was, turned out of the house, with his wife and children, and without bread. The Bishop sent for him, reproved him gently, and appointed him beadle in the cathedral.

In the course of nine years Monseigneur Bienvenu had, by dint of holy deeds and gentle manners, filled the town of D—— with a sort of tender and filial reverence. Even his conduct towards Napoleon had been accepted and tacitly pardoned, as it were, by the people, the good

● Victor Hugo and weakly flock who adored their emperor, but loved their bishop.

CHAPTER XII THE SOLITUDE OF MONSEIGNEUR WELCOME Bishop is almost always surrounded by a full squadron of little abbes, just as a general is by a covey of young officers. This is what that charming Saint Francois de Sales calls somewhere “les pretres blancs-becs,” callow priests. Every career has its aspirants, who form a train for those who have attained eminence in it. There is no power which has not its dependents. There is no fortune which has not its court. The seekers of the future eddy around the splendid present. Every metropolis has its staff of officials. Every bishop who possesses the least influence has about him his patrol of cherubim from the seminary, which goes the round, and maintains good order in the episcopal palace, and mounts guard over monseigneur’s smile.

To please a bishop is equivalent to getting one’s foot in the stirrup for a sub-diaconate. It is necessary to walk one’s path discreetly; the apostleship does not disdain the canonship.

Just as there are bigwigs elsewhere, there are big mitres in the Church. These are the bishops who stand well at Court, who are rich, well endowed, skilful, accepted by the world, who know how to pray, no doubt, but who know also how to beg, who feel little scruple at making a whole diocese dance attendance in their person, who are connecting links between the sacristy and diplomacy, who are abbes rather than priests, prelates rather than bishops. Happy those who approach them! Being persons of influence, they create a shower about them, upon the assiduous and the favored, and upon all the young men who understand the art of pleasing, of large parishes, prebends, archidiaconates, chaplaincies, and cathedral posts, while awaiting episcopal honors. As they advance themselves, they cause their satellites to progress also; it is a whole so-

lar system on the march. Their radiance casts a gleam of purple over their suite. Their prosperity is crumbled up behind the scenes, into nice little promotions. The larger the diocese of the patron, the fatter the curacy for the favorite. And then, there is Rome. A bishop who understands how to become an archbishop, an archbishop who knows how to become a cardinal, carries you with him as conclavist; you enter a court of papal jurisdiction, you receive the pallium, and behold! you are an auditor, then a papal chamberlain, then monsignor, and from a Grace to an Eminence is only a step, and between the Eminence and the Holiness there is but the smoke of a ballot. Every skull-cap may dream of the tiara. The priest is nowadays the only man who can become a king in a regular manner; and what a king! the supreme king. Then what a nursery of aspirations is a seminary! How many blushing choristers, how many youthful abbes bear on their heads Perrette’s pot of milk! Who knows how easy it is for ambition to call itself vocation? in good faith, perchance, and deceiving itself, devotee that it is.

Monseigneur Bienvenu, poor, humble, retiring, was not accounted among the big mitres. This was plain from the complete absence of young priests about him. We have seen that he “did not take” in Paris. Not a single future dreamed of engrafting itself on this solitary old man. Not a single sprouting ambition committed the folly of putting forth its foliage in his shadow. His canons and grand-vicars were good old men, rather vulgar like himself, walled up like him in this diocese, without exit to a cardinalship, and who resembled their bishop, with this difference, that they were finished and he was completed. The impossibility of growing great under Monseigneur Bienvenu was so well understood, that no sooner had the young men whom he ordained left the seminary than they got themselves recommended to the archbishops of Aix or of Auch, and went off in a great hurry. For, in short, we repeat it, men wish to be pushed. A saint who dwells in a paroxysm of abnegation is

a dangerous neighbor; he might communicate to you, by contagion, an incurable poverty, an anchylosis of the joints, which are useful in advancement, and in short, more renunciation than you desire; and this infectious virtue is avoided.

Hence the isolation of Monseigneur Bienvenu.

We live in the midst of a gloomy society. Success; that is the lesson which falls drop by drop from the slope of corruption.

Be it said in passing, that success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men. For the masses, success has almost the same profile as supremacy. Success, that Menaechmus of talent, has one dupe,— history. Juvenal and Tacitus alone grumble at it. In our day, a philosophy which is almost official has entered into its service, wears the livery of success, and performs the service of its antechamber. Succeed: theory. Prosperity argues capacity. Win in the lottery, and behold! you are a clever man. He who triumphs is venerated.

Be born with a silver spoon in your mouth! everything lies in that. Be lucky, and you will have all the rest; be happy, and people will think you great. Outside of five or six immense exceptions, which compose the splendor of a century, contemporary admiration is nothing but shortsightedness. Gilding is gold. It does no harm to be the first arrival by pure chance, so long as you do arrive. The common herd is an old Narcissus who adores himself, and who applauds the vulgar herd. That enormous ability by virtue of which one is Moses, Aeschylus, Dante, Michael Angelo, or Napoleon, the multitude awards on the spot, and by acclamation, to whomsoever attains his object, in whatsoever it may consist. Let a notary transfigure himself into a deputy: let a false Corneille compose Tiridate; let a eunuch come to possess a harem; let a military Prudhomme accidentally win the decisive battle of an epoch; let an apothecary invent cardboard shoe-soles for the army of the Sambre-and-Meuse, and construct for himself, out of this cardboard, sold as leather, four hundred thousand francs of income; let a porkpacker espouse usury, and cause it to bring forth seven or eight millions, of which he is the father and of which it is the mother; let a preacher become a bishop by force of his nasal drawl; let the steward of a fine family be so rich on retiring from service that he is made minister of finances,— and men call that Genius, just as they call the face of Mousqueton Beauty, and the mien of Claude Majesty. With the constellations of space they confound the stars of the abyss which are made in the soft mire of the puddle by the feet of ducks.

CHAPTER XIII WHAT HE BELIEVED

We are not obliged to sound the Bishop of D— — on the score of orthodoxy. In the presence of such a soul we feel ourselves in no mood but respect. The conscience of the just man should be accepted on his word. Moreover, certain natures being given, we admit the possible development of all beauties of human virtue in a belief that differs from our own.

What did he think of this dogma, or of that mystery? These secrets of the inner tribunal of the conscience are known only to the tomb, where souls enter naked. The point on which we are certain is, that the difficulties of faith never resolved themselves into hypocrisy in his case.

No decay is possible to the diamond. He believed to the extent of his powers. “Credo in Patrem,” he often exclaimed. Moreover, he drew from good works that amount of satisfaction which suffices to the conscience, and which whispers to a man, “Thou art with God!” The point which we consider it our duty to note is, that outside of and beyond his faith, as it were, the Bishop possessed an excess of love. In was in that quarter, quia multum amavit,— because he loved much — that he was regarded as vulnerable by “serious men,” “grave persons” and “reasonable people”; favorite locutions of our sad world where egotism takes its word of command from pedantry. What was this excess of love? It was a serene benevolence which overflowed men, as we have already pointed out,

From Page 31 and which, on occasion, extended even to things.

He lived without disdain. He was indulgent towards God’s creation. Every man, even the best, has within him a thoughtless harshness which he reserves for animals. The Bishop of D—— had none of that harshness, which is peculiar to many priests, nevertheless. He did not go as far as the Brahmin, but he seemed to have weighed this saying of Ecclesiastes: “Who knoweth whither the soul of the animal goeth?” Hideousness of aspect, deformity of instinct, troubled him not, and did not arouse his indignation. He was touched, almost softened by them. It seemed as though he went thoughtfully away to seek beyond the bounds of life which is apparent, the cause, the explanation, or the excuse for them.

He seemed at times to be asking God to commute these penalties. He examined without wrath, and with the eye of a linguist who is deciphering a palimpsest, that portion of chaos which still exists in nature. This revery sometimes caused him to utter odd sayings. One morning he was in his garden, and thought himself alone, but his sister was walking behind him, unseen by him: suddenly he paused and gazed at something on the ground; it was a large, black, hairy, frightful spider. His sister heard him say:— “Poor beast! It is not its fault!”

Why not mention these almost divinely childish sayings of kindness? Puerile they may be; but these sublime puerilities were peculiar to Saint Francis d’Assisi and of Marcus Aurelius. One day he sprained his ankle in his effort to avoid stepping on an ant. Thus lived this just man.

Sometimes he fell asleep in his garden, and then there was nothing more venerable possible.

Monseigneur Bienvenu had formerly been, if the stories anent his youth, and even in regard to his manhood, were to be believed, a passionate, and, possibly, a violent man. His universal suavity was less an instinct of nature than the result of a grand conviction which had filtered into his heart through the medium of life, and had trickled there slowly, thought by thought; for, in a character, as in a rock, there may exist apertures made by drops of water. These hollows are uneffaceable; these formations are indestructible.

In 1815, as we think we have already said, he reached his seventy-fifth birthday, but he did not appear to be more than sixty. He was not tall; he was rather plump; and, in order to combat this tendency, he was fond of taking long strolls on foot; his step was firm, and his form was but slightly bent, a detail from which we do not pretend to draw any conclusion. Gregory XVI., at the age of eighty, held himself erect and smiling, which did not prevent him from being a bad bishop. Monseigneur Welcome had what the people term a “fine head,” but so amiable was he that they forgot that it was fine.

When he conversed with that infantile gayety which was one of his charms, and of which we have already spoken, people felt at their ease with him, and joy seemed to radiate from his whole person. His fresh and ruddy complexion, his very white teeth, all of which he had preserved, and which were displayed by his smile, gave him that open and easy air which cause the remark to be made of a man, “He’s a good fellow”; and of an old man, “He is a fine man.”

That, it will be recalled, was the effect which he produced upon Napoleon. On the first encounter, and to one who saw him for the first time, he was nothing, in fact, but a fine man. But if one remained near him for a few hours, and beheld him in the least degree pensive, the fine man became gradually transfigured, and took on some imposing quality, I know not what; his broad and serious brow, rendered august by his white locks, became august also by virtue of meditation; majesty radiated from his goodness, though his goodness ceased not to be radiant; one experienced something of the emotion which one would feel on beholding a smiling angel slowly unfold his wings, without ceasing to smile. Respect, an unutterable respect, penetrated you by degrees and mounted to your heart, and one felt that one had before him one of those strong, thoroughly tried, and indulgent souls where thought is so grand that it can no longer be anything but gentle.

As we have seen, prayer, the celebration of the offices of religion, alms-giving, the consolation of the afflicted, the cultivation of a bit of land, fraternity, frugality, hospitality, renunciation, confidence, study, work, filled every day of his life. Filled is exactly the word; certainly the Bishop’s day was quite full to the brim, of good

Observer Classic Books words and good deeds. Nevertheless, it was not complete if cold or rainy weather prevented his passing an hour or two in his garden before going to bed, and after the two women had retired.

It seemed to be a sort of rite with him, to prepare himself for slumber by meditation in the presence of the grand spectacles of the nocturnal heavens. Sometimes, if the two old women were not asleep, they heard him pacing slowly along the walks at a very advanced hour of the night.

He was there alone, communing with himself, peaceful, adoring, comparing the serenity of his heart with the serenity of the ether, moved amid the darkness by the visible splendor of the constellations and the invisible splendor of God, opening his heart to the thoughts which fall from the Unknown. At such moments, while he offered his heart at the hour when nocturnal flowers offer their perfume, illuminated like a lamp amid the starry night, as he poured himself out in ecstasy in the midst of the universal radiance of creation, he could not have told himself, probably, what was passing in his spirit; he felt something take its flight from him, and something descend into him. Mysterious exchange of the abysses of the soul with the abysses of the universe!

He thought of the grandeur and presence of God; of the future eternity, that strange mystery; of the eternity past, a mystery still more strange; of all the infinities, which pierced their way into all his senses, beneath his eyes; and, without seeking to comprehend the incomprehensible, he gazed upon it. He did not study God; he was dazzled by him. He considered those magnificent conjunctions of atoms, which communicate aspects to matter, reveal forces by verifying them, create individualities in unity, proportions in extent, the innumerable in the infinite, and, through light, produce beauty. These conjunctions are formed and dissolved incessantly; hence life and death.

He seated himself on a wooden bench, with his back against a decrepit vine; he gazed at the stars, past the puny and stunted silhouettes of his fruit-trees. This quarter of an acre, so poorly planted, so encumbered with mean buildings and sheds, was dear to him, and satisfied his wants.

What more was needed by this old man, who divided the leisure of his life, where there was so little leisure, between gardening in the daytime and contemplation at night? Was not this narrow enclosure, with the heavens for a ceiling, sufficient to enable him to adore God in his most divine works, in turn? Does not this comprehend all, in fact? and what is there left to desire beyond it? A little garden in which to walk, and immensity in which to dream. At one’s feet that which can be cultivated and plucked; over head that which one can study and meditate upon: some flowers on earth, and all the stars in the sky.

CHAPTER XIV WHAT HE THOUGHT One last word.

Since this sort of details might, particularly at the present moment, and to use an expression now in fashion, give to the Bishop of D——a certain “pantheistical” physiognomy, and induce the belief, either to his credit or discredit, that he entertained one of those personal philosophies which are peculiar to our century, which sometimes spring up in solitary spirits, and there take on a form and grow until they usurp the place of religion, we insist upon it, that not one of those persons who knew Monseigneur Welcome would have thought himself authorized to think anything of the sort. That which enlightened this man was his heart. His wisdom was made of the light which comes from there.

No systems; many works. Abstruse speculations contain vertigo; no, there is nothing to indicate that he risked his mind in apocalypses. The apostle may be daring, but the bishop must be timid. He would probably have felt a scruple at sounding too far in advance certain problems which are, in a manner, reserved for terrible great minds. There is a sacred horror beneath the porches of the enigma; those gloomy openings stand yawning there, but something tells you, you, a passer-by in life, that you must not enter. Woe to him who penetrates thither!

Geniuses in the impenetrable depths of abstraction and pure speculation, situated, so to speak, above all dogmas, propose their ideas to God. Their prayer audaciously offers discussion.

Their adoration interrogates. This is direct religion, which is full of anxiety and responsibility

for him who attempts its steep cliffs.

Human meditation has no limits. At his own risk and peril, it analyzes and digs deep into its own bedazzlement. One might almost say, that by a sort of splendid reaction, it with it dazzles nature; the mysterious world which surrounds us renders back what it has received; it is probable that the contemplators are contemplated. However that may be, there are on earth men who — are they men?— perceive distinctly at the verge of the horizons of revery the heights of the absolute, and who have the terrible vision of the infinite mountain. Monseigneur Welcome was one of these men; Monseigneur Welcome was not a genius. He would have feared those sublimities whence some very great men even, like Swedenborg and Pascal, have slipped into insanity. Certainly, these powerful reveries have their moral utility, and by these arduous paths one approaches to ideal perfection. As for him, he took the path which shortens,— the Gospel’s.

He did not attempt to impart to his chasuble the folds of Elijah’s mantle; he projected no ray of future upon the dark groundswell of events; he did not see to condense in flame the light of things; he had nothing of the prophet and nothing of the magician about him. This humble soul loved, and that was all.

That he carried prayer to the pitch of a superhuman aspiration is probable: but one can no more pray too much than one can love too much; and if it is a heresy to pray beyond the texts, Saint Theresa and Saint Jerome would be heretics.

He inclined towards all that groans and all that expiates. The universe appeared to him like an immense malady; everywhere he felt fever, everywhere he heard the sound of suffering, and, without seeking to solve the enigma, he strove to dress the wound. The terrible spectacle of created things developed tenderness in him; he was occupied only in finding for himself, and in inspiring others with the best way to compassionate and relieve. That which exists was for this good and rare priest a permanent subject of sadness which sought consolation.

There are men who toil at extracting gold; he toiled at the extraction of pity. Universal misery was his mine. The sadness which reigned everywhere was but an excuse for unfailing kindness. Love each other; he declared this to be complete, desired nothing further, and that was the whole of his doctrine. One day, that man who believed himself to be a “philosopher,” the senator who has already been alluded to, said to the Bishop: “Just survey the spectacle of the world: all war against all; the strongest has the most wit. Your love each other is nonsense.”— “Well,” replied Monseigneur Welcome, without contesting the point, “if it is nonsense, the soul should shut itself up in it, as the pearl in the oyster.” Thus he shut himself up, he lived there, he was absolutely satisfied with it, leaving on one side the prodigious questions which attract and terrify, the fathomless perspectives of abstraction, the precipices of metaphysics — all those profundities which converge, for the apostle in God, for the atheist in nothingness; destiny, good and evil, the way of being against being, the conscience of man, the thoughtful somnambulism of the animal, the transformation in death, the recapitulation of existences which the tomb contains, the incomprehensible grafting of successive loves on the persistent I , the essence, the substance, the Nile, and the Ens, the soul, nature, liberty, necessity; perpendicular problems, sinister obscurities, where lean the gigantic archangels of the human mind; formidable abysses, which Lucretius, Manou, Saint Paul, Dante, contemplate with eyes flashing lightning, which seems by its steady gaze on the infinite to cause stars to blaze forth there.

Monseigneur Bienvenu was simply a man who took note of the exterior of mysterious questions without scrutinizing them, and without troubling his own mind with them, and who cherished in his own soul a grave respect for darkness.

BOOK SECOND. CHAPTER 1 THE EVENING OF A DAY OF WALKING Early in the month of October, 1815, about an hour before sunset, a man who was travelling on foot entered the little town of D—— The few inhabitants who were at their windows or on their thresholds at the moment stared at this traveller with a sort of uneasiness. It was difficult to encounter a wayfarer of more wretched appearance. He was a man of medium stature, thickset and robust, in the prime of life. He might

have been forty-six or forty-eight years old. A cap with a drooping leather visor partly concealed his face, burned and tanned by sun and wind, and dripping with perspiration. His shirt of coarse yellow linen, fastened at the neck by a small silver anchor, permitted a view of his hairy breast: he had a cravat twisted into a string; trousers of blue drilling, worn and threadbare, white on one knee and torn on the other; an old gray, tattered blouse, patched on one of the elbows with a bit of green cloth sewed on with twine; a tightly packed soldier knapsack, well buckled and perfectly new, on his back; an enormous, knotty stick in his hand; iron-shod shoes on his stockingless feet; a shaved head and a long beard.

The sweat, the heat, the journey on foot, the dust, added I know not what sordid quality to this dilapidated whole. His hair was closely cut, yet bristling, for it had begun to grow a little, and did not seem to have been cut for some time.

No one knew him. He was evidently only a chance passer-by. Whence came he? From the south; from the seashore, perhaps, for he made his entrance into D—— by the same street which, seven months previously, had witnessed the passage of the Emperor Napoleon on his way from Cannes to Paris. This man must have been walking all day. He seemed very much fatigued.

Some women of the ancient market town which is situated below the city had seen him pause beneath the trees of the boulevard Gassendi, and drink at the fountain which stands at the end of the promenade. He must have been very thirsty: for the children who followed him saw him stop again for a drink, two hundred paces further on, at the fountain in the market-place.

On arriving at the corner of the Rue Poichevert, he turned to the left, and directed his steps toward the town-hall. He entered, then came out a quarter of an hour later. A gendarme was seated near the door, on the stone bench which General Drouot had mounted on the 4th of March to read to the frightened throng of the inhabitants of D—— the proclamation of the Gulf Juan.

The man pulled off his cap and humbly saluted the gendarme.

The gendarme, without replying to his salute, stared attentively at him, followed him for a while with his eyes, and then entered the townhall.

There then existed at D——a fine inn at the sign of the Cross of Colbas. This inn had for a landlord a certain Jacquin Labarre, a man of consideration in the town on account of his relationship to another Labarre, who kept the inn of the Three Dauphins in Grenoble, and had served in the Guides. At the time of the Emperor’s landing, many rumors had circulated throughout the country with regard to this inn of the Three Dauphins. It was said that General Bertrand, disguised as a carter, had made frequent trips thither in the month of January, and that he had distributed crosses of honor to the soldiers and handfuls of gold to the citizens. The truth is, that when the Emperor entered Grenoble he had refused to install himself at the hotel of the prefecture; he had thanked the mayor, saying, “I am going to the house of a brave man of my acquaintance”; and he had betaken himself to the Three Dauphins. This glory of the Labarre of the Three Dauphins was reflected upon the Labarre of the Cross of Colbas, at a distance of five and twenty leagues. It was said of him in the town, “That is the cousin of the man of Grenoble.”

The man bent his steps towards this inn, which was the best in the country-side. He entered the kitchen, which opened on a level with the street.

All the stoves were lighted; a huge fire blazed gayly in the fireplace. The host, who was also the chief cook, was going from one stew-pan to another, very busily superintending an excellent dinner designed for the wagoners, whose loud talking, conversation, and laughter were audible from an adjoining apartment. Any one who has travelled knows that there is no one who indulges in better cheer than wagoners. A fat marmot, flanked by white partridges and heather-cocks, was turning on a long spit before the fire; on the stove, two huge carps from Lake Lauzet and a trout from Lake Alloz were cooking.

The host, hearing the door open and seeing a newcomer enter, said, without raising his eyes from his stoves:— “What do you wish, sir?”

“Food and lodging,” said the man.

“Nothing easier,” replied the host. At that mo- Continued on Page 49

100 Years Ago The Euroa Advertiser Friday, July 5, 1912 No Place for Her. It was the first variety performance the old colored lady had ever seen, and she was particularly excited over the marvellous feats of the magician.

But when he covered a newspaper with a heavy flannel cloth and read the print through it, she grew a little nervous.

He then doubled the cloth and again read the letters accurately. This was more than she could stand, and rising in her seat she said: "I'm goin' home. This ain't no place for a lady in a thin calico dress!" ★ A story is told of a well-known divine who was visiting a prison, when he came across a prisoner whose fea tures were familiar to him.

"What brought you here, my poor fellow?" he asked.

"You married me to a woman a little while ago, sir," the prisoner re Splied, with a sigh.

"Ab, I see," said the.parson. "And she was domineering and extravagant, and she drove you to desperate courses, eh?"

- "No," said the prisoner; "my old woman turned up."

Many a man thinks himself smart until his smartness lands him behind the bars. ★ If you stand on your dignity too much it is only a question of time when somebody will sit on you. ★ To love-that is the true revelation, the litting up of the veil. It is as different from simply being loved as night is from day

Your Stars with Christina La Cross Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) Try to think about what you put on before you go out. Aspects suggest you'll be meeting up with faces who can make a real difference to your life. Taureans spread gossip not to be repeated.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) News of someone from your past could see you planning a journey or making a series of phone calls to separate fact from fiction. New flirtations make your life a more interesting place to be.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21) What is it exactly that you want to do with your life Gemini? I don't think you know, but you would if you paid more attention to your life rather than focusing on everyone else's.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23) It's time for you to spoil yourself. If other people won't help you get the time out that you need then you have to make yourself a priority. The knock on effect is worth it.

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) I know you and a close one haven't been seeing eye to eye, but part of the problem is that you've been talking to everyone but the person you've been having problems with.

Answer obvious now?

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) You're feeling the need to get in touch with someone who's no longer a part of your life.

Before you make your decision you need to ask yourself what effect this could have on your future, don't you?

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) Make sure you check your to-do list today and are able to tick everything off. To find yourself with things still on it will sour what can and should be a really constructive weekend for you.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) If you're looking for something you've lost or misplaced, make sure you stop and calm down or you're going to send yourself into a spin. This frantic mood you're in requires a call to you know who.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) Peace talks with loved ones go well at this time. The truth Sagittarius, is that neither one of you was one hundred per cent in the right. Admitting this can help find humour in all that's occurred.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) Fresh views to an old problem can be found by sticking to your plans tonight. You see, it's those who know you well that will know what you need to do to get back on track.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Work and pleasure mix well for once. You find yourself getting to see a more humane side to characters who you've previously only ever seen the stern side of. Aries know good love matches for you.

Pisces (Feb 20 - March 20) You're going through a transitional phase and you may find that you lose a few friends on the way. You know what Pisces, if they don't stick around, they're not meant to be around. Don't you agree?

Where the Great Ocean Road meets the ‘Hamptons’ When two individuals with exceptional talents get together to explore their own sea change/tree change, exciting results occur. Jock, an architect and landscape architect, learned his craft in Melbourne, taking pleasure in hands-on projects over many years, including the rebuilding and running of the luxury 'The Grange' B&B in Williamstown.

Jo's passion is interior decoration and gardening, with many projects in leafy Bayside suburbs.

Her natural flair for design has been expressed in both their home and the cottages with a distinct “Hamptons” feel.

From the wall papers to the light fittings and deep couches, the whole house oozes relaxed luxury and enduring style. As a keen board rider, Jock returned endlessly to the mystical Otways to chase that perfect wave and in 2000 stumbled upon one of the most unspoilt places on the coast.

Jo, also keen for a rural change, was introduced to the magic of Paradise and instantly fell in love with it's beauty and tranquillity.

Ten years later Jo and Jock Williamson have a superb property, inspired by their love of all things natural and beautiful. They were fortunate that they inherited a property with good bones; established exotic trees, terraced gardens and wonderful views all around. They have designed, built and decorated two self-contained cottages, used for accommodation, which are set over a picturesque ornamental lake.

Their own house, recently extended and renovated is large and comfortable and makes the most of the north sun and views to the surrounding forests. It is a rare thing – a home with all mod cons yet one which allows it’s owners close contact with a truly beautiful part of the world and where one can gain great respect and admiration for nature and the seasons.

Their property, only 10 minutes from Apollo Bay along a sealed scenic road, is nestled in one of the most beautiful valleys in the Otways and is unique in that it offers the lush surrounds of rainforest and farmland yet is an easy drive to the ocean – the best of both worlds.

Living in the peaceful surrounds of Paradise Gardens, the decision to move for Jo and Jock was never an easy one. “We are looking forward to new building and garden design challenges but leaving one of the most beautiful places in Victoria (and arguably Australia) will be very difficult”.

Where the Great Ocean Road meets the "Hamptons."

'Paradise Gardens and Cottages', is set amidst three acres of beautifully gardens.

Offering two story book cottages set over a picturesque lake and a luxurious three bedroom home. This award winning property operates as a successful accommodation business. www.paradisegardens.net.au All buildings have been superbly constructed; include quality fittings throughout and inclusive of stylish furniture and linen with the accommodation.

The main home is complete with a grand lounge, large dining room, generous country style kitchen, atrium and a staircase that leads to a generous master bedroom with ensuite and adjoining study. The views from the double spa bath are magical.

Within the home in a separate wing, lies an optional Bed and Breakfast accommodation facility. With a separate external entrance for privacy, this established in-house unit features a king sized bed, a dining setting, and large ensuite with a double corner spa and separate shower. A further queen bedroom is attached to accommodate extra guests.

The two gorgeous cottages provide a choice of either two or three accommodation units.

The double storey main unit, is self contained, consisting of an open plan living/dining and kitchen area and upstairs king sized bed bedroom, high cathedral ceilings and ensuite with a double spa, large separate shower and decking that extends over the water with an outdoor setting and bar-bcue.

The adjoining single storey Plum Tree Cottage has a separate entry and consists of high cathedral ceilings, a king sized bedroom, ensuite with spa and shower, kitchenette and decking extending over the water.

Travellers’ Good Buys

with David Ellis

Lured by spirit of Amelia Earhart ■ An oceanographic research ship slipped almost unnoticed out of Honolulu on the 2nd of this month bound for a miniscule dot in the ocean called Nikumaroro in little Kiribati, one of the tiniest island nations in the vast Pacific.

Aboard was a team of scientists and aviation enthusiasts keen to solve the mystery that’s baffled researchers for 75 years: whatever happened to pioneering American aviatrix Amelia Earhart?

For most it was the seventh such working holiday for their group call TIGHAR –The International Group For Historic Aircraft Recovery – to uninhabited little Nikumaroro.

In 1928 Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic ... or to be more precise ... the first women to be flown across the Atlantic: an aviator named William Stultz was at the controls doing the actual flying.

But it made Amelia famous, and in the next few years she set numerous aviation records.

However at the age of 39 she was at the controls of a Lockheed Electra trying to fly around the world at the equator, when she disappeared with navigator Fred Noonan after taking off from Lae in New Guinea on July 2, 1937, three-quarters of a century ago.

A host of bizarre theories surrounded her disappearance: Some theorised she was on a spy flight for

Observer Wines & Liqueurs Melbourne

Misconceptions of a good sherry ■ Sherry never springs to front of mind when talk turns to wine styles and varietals, and sadly sales here are minimal as a good drop is most rewarding.

Perhaps its purely ignorance: there are those who simply know nothing about it, others who link it to little old ladies in darkened sitting rooms, and others who think it the choice of those who drink from brown paper bags on park benches.

Sherry was in fact one of the first wines made here from vines brought out on the First Fleet, but because of trade agreements with Spain and the EU we can no longer call our homegrown product “sherry.”

And one of our best local exponents today is Andrew Birks, who has just released a Birks Chip Dry Fino (Fino being Spanish for “fine”) that in one word can best be described as “fantastic.”

Andrew was one-time Chief Fortified Winemaker for Lindemans, later head of the Wine Science School at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, and has done stints as a guest winemaker and speaker in sherry’s home-country Spain.

And so passionate is he about it, he even set up a solera (sherry-making cellar) under his home in Wagga, his wines going on to win multiple international awards.

His Birks Chip Dry Fino is a great drop to enjoy really cold as an aperitif with tapas such as olives, salted almonds, oysters and seafoods, and even mild cheeses; he’s made just a thousand 375ml bottles at $25.

Get onto it quickly and order through Bidgeebong Wines (02) 6931 9955 or winery@bidgeebong.com.au

One For Lunch ■ 2010 gave Coonawarra one of its earliest and best vintages ever, and once again Katnook Estate came up trumps with a Founder’s Block 2010 Chardonnay from fruit that enjoyed below average rainfall and above average temperatures.

This wonderfully elegant drop has peaches and melons to the forefront and nice Chardonnay “butteriness.” A great drop at $18 with seafood in a creamy sauce.

Pictured ■ Forget the brown paper bag, this is seriously good as an aperitif with tapas ■ Great match with seafood in a nice creamy sauce.

the United States as World War II was looming, and that she was captured and killed by the Japanese.

Others suggested that tired of her celebrity status, she “disappeared” on purpose to live back in the United States under an assumed name – Whatever, she certainly wasn’t abducted by aliens, like the Close Encounters of the Third Kind suggested.

TIGHAR members have always believed Amelia’s aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed and sank while trying to land on Nikumaroro.

This theory gained the support of US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton earlier this year after the release of a 1937 British Navy photo showing what looks like a piece of Lockheed landing gear on the island.

And experts are also examining an anti-freckle cream jar just like Amelia used and recently found on the unoccupied island.

Now while TIGHAR’s people continue their search, divert to the little town of Atchison in Kansas USA that was the birthplace of Amelia Earhart in 1897, and where later this month locals will celebrate their annual Amelia Earhart Festival that’s held every July, halfway between the anniversaries of her birth and disappearance.

But it’s not just Amelia Earhart who draws tourists to Atchison: the town’s reputedly one of the most haunted in the world, luring devout ghost hunters from around the globe and the lessconvinced to ghost tours of the picturesque town on a special trolleybus.

This includes the main street where in the 19th century a woman travelling in a buggy lost control of her horses and plummeted into the adjacent, freezing Missouri River. Her body was never found, but today men walking along the riverbank claim they’ve heard a woman calling to them to save her in the murky waters.

There’s also the Gargoyle House once owned by a local politician who allegedly did a deal with the Devil, and became very rich.

He erected the gargoyles as a thank you to the Devil – all subsequent owners of the house who tried to remove them have suffered freakish accidental deaths.

Jackson Park in the centre of town is also reputedly haunted, by the ghost of Molly, a college girl who hanged herself from a tree in the park after an argument with her boyfriend.

Or was it murder? Whatever, she keeps appearing in the predawn hours ….

And what about Sallie, a young lass who haunts a house in North Second Street and is said to lurk in waiting for unsuspecting men, before gouging their eyes out?

Tourists are also encouraged to visit Atchison’s Mt Vernon Cemetery at night and make rubbings of inscriptions from the tombs as souvenirs of their visit – although they’re warned that some of the spirits of people buried in the graveyard may subsequently accompany them home…

And while Atchison has plenty of ghosts, Amelia Earhart is not one of them – her spirit’s said to still lay in tranquil Nikumaroro.

From Page 32 ment he turned his head, took in the traveller’s appearance with a single glance, and added, “By paying for it.”

The man drew a large leather purse from the pocket of his blouse, and answered, “I have money.”

“In that case, we are at your service,” said the host.

The man put his purse back in his pocket, removed his knapsack from his back, put it on the ground near the door, retained his stick in his hand, and seated himself on a low stool close to the fire. D—— is in the mountains. The evenings are cold there in October.

But as the host went back and forth, he scrutinized the traveller.

“Will dinner be ready soon?” said the man.

“Immediately,” replied the landlord.

While the newcomer was warming himself before the fire, with his back turned, the worthy host, Jacquin Labarre, drew a pencil from his pocket, then tore off the corner of an old newspaper which was lying on a small table near the window. On the white margin he wrote a line or two, folded it without sealing, and then intrusted this scrap of paper to a child who seemed to serve him in the capacity both of scullion and lackey. The landlord whispered a word in the scullion’s ear, and the child set off on a run in the direction of the town-hall.

The traveller saw nothing of all this.

Once more he inquired, “Will dinner be ready soon?”

“Immediately,” responded the host.

The child returned. He brought back the paper.

The host unfolded it eagerly, like a person who is expecting a reply. He seemed to read it attentively, then tossed his head, and remained thoughtful for a moment. Then he took a step in the direction of the traveller, who appeared to be immersed in reflections which were not very serene.

“I cannot receive you, sir,” said he.

The man half rose.

“What! Are you afraid that I will not pay you?

Do you want me to pay you in advance? I have money, I tell you.”

“It is not that.”

“What then?”

“You have money —”

“Yes,” said the man.

“And I,” said the host, “have no room.”

The man resumed tranquilly, “Put me in the stable.”

“I cannot.”

“Why?” “The horses take up all the space.”

“Very well!” retorted the man; “a corner of the loft then, a truss of straw. We will see about that after dinner.”

“I cannot give you any dinner.”

This declaration, made in a measured but firm tone, struck the stranger as grave. He rose.

“Ah! bah! But I am dying of hunger. I have been walking since sunrise. I have travelled twelve leagues. I pay. I wish to eat.”

“I have nothing,” said the landlord.

The man burst out laughing, and turned towards the fireplace and the stoves: “Nothing! and all that?”

“All that is engaged.”

“By whom?”

“By messieurs the wagoners.”

“How many are there of them?”

“Twelve.”

“There is enough food there for twenty.”

“They have engaged the whole of it and paid for it in advance.”

The man seated himself again, and said, without raising his voice, “I am at an inn; I am hungry, and I shall remain.”

Then the host bent down to his ear, and said in a tone which made him start, “Go away!”

At that moment the traveller was bending forward and thrusting some brands into the fire with the iron-shod tip of his staff; he turned quickly round, and as he opened his mouth to reply, the host gazed steadily at him and added, still in a low voice: “Stop! there’s enough of that sort of talk. Do you want me to tell you your name?

Your name is Jean Valjean. Now do you want me to tell you who you are? When I saw you come in I suspected something; I sent to the town-hall, and this was the reply that was sent to me. Can you read?”

So saying, he held out to the stranger, fully unfolded, the paper which had just travelled from the inn to the town-hall, and from the town-hall to the inn. The man cast a glance upon it. The landlord resumed after a pause.

“I am in the habit of being polite to every one

. Go away!”

The man dropped his head, picked up the knapsack which he had deposited on the ground, and took his departure.

He chose the principal street. He walked straight on at a venture, keeping close to the houses like a sad and humiliated man. He did not turn round a single time. Had he done so, he would have seen the host of the Cross of Colbas standing on his threshold, surrounded by all the guests of his inn, and all the passers-by in the street, talking vivaciously, and pointing him out with his finger; and, from the glances of terror and distrust cast by the group, he might have divined that his arrival would speedily become an event for the whole town.

He saw nothing of all this. People who are crushed do not look behind them. They know but too well the evil fate which follows them.

Thus he proceeded for some time, walking on without ceasing, traversing at random streets of which he knew nothing, forgetful of his fatigue, as is often the case when a man is sad. All at once he felt the pangs of hunger sharply. Night was drawing near. He glanced about him, to see whether he could not discover some shelter.

The fine hostelry was closed to him; he was seeking some very humble public house, some hovel, however lowly.

Just then a light flashed up at the end of the streets; a pine branch suspended from a crossbeam of iron was outlined against the white sky of the twilight. He proceeded thither.

It proved to be, in fact, a public house. The public house which is in the Rue de Chaffaut.

The wayfarer halted for a moment, and peeped through the window into the interior of the lowstudded room of the public house, illuminated by a small lamp on a table and by a large fire on the hearth. Some men were engaged in drinking there. The landlord was warming himself. An iron pot, suspended from a crane, bubbled over the flame.

The entrance to this public house, which is also a sort of an inn, is by two doors. One opens on the street, the other upon a small yard filled with manure. The traveller dare not enter by the street door. He slipped into the yard, halted again, then raised the latch timidly and opened the door.

“Who goes there?” said the master.

“Some one who wants supper and bed.”

“Good. We furnish supper and bed here.”

He entered. All the men who were drinking turned round. The lamp illuminated him on one side, the firelight on the other. They examined him for some time while he was taking off his knapsack.

The host said to him, “There is the fire. The supper is cooking in the pot. Come and warm yourself, comrade.”

He approached and seated himself near the hearth. He stretched out his feet, which were exhausted with fatigue, to the fire; a fine odor was emitted by the pot. All that could be distinguished of his face, beneath his cap, which was well pulled down, assumed a vague appearance of comfort, mingled with that other poignant aspect which habitual suffering bestows.

It was, moreover, a firm, energetic, and melancholy profile. This physiognomy was strangely composed; it began by seeming humble, and ended by seeming severe. The eye shone beneath its lashes like a fire beneath brushwood.

One of the men seated at the table, however, was a fishmonger who, before entering the public house of the Rue de Chaffaut, had been to stable his horse at Labarre’s. It chanced that he had that very morning encountered this unprepossessing stranger on the road between Bras d’Asse and — I have forgotten the name. I think it was Escoublon. Now, when he met him, the man, who then seemed already extremely weary, had requested him to take him on his crupper; to which the fishmonger had made no reply except by redoubling his gait. This fishmonger had been a member half an hour previously of the group which surrounded Jacquin Labarre, and had himself related his disagreeable encounter of the morning to the people at the Cross of Colbas. From where he sat he made an imperceptible sign to the tavern-keeper. The tavernkeeper went to him. They exchanged a few words in a low tone. The man had again become absorbed in his reflections.

The tavern-keeper returned to the fireplace, laid his hand abruptly on the shoulder of the man, and said to him:— “You are going to get out of here.”

The stranger turned round and replied gently, “Ah! You know?—” “Yes.” To Be Continued Next Week

Took driving honours ■ The Melton-Bacchus Marsh area enjoyed a happy day at Warragul on Monday, winning five races on the eight-event card.

Toolern Vale reinsman John Justice took the driving honours with a double - old timer Mister Douglas taking the Sherar Septics Pty Ltd Claiming Pace over 2205 metres and Bel Vu Ayesha the Drouin Signs Pace for C0 class over 1785 metres.

Mister Douglas a 9-Y-0 gelded son of Albert Albert and Byatross raced and trained by sister Joanne, chalked up his 30th victory when stepping out for the 211th time.

Settling mid-field from gate three on the second line, Mister Douglas enjoyed a soft passage and when taken four wide off a three wide trail running in to the final bend, drew clear on turning to score by 5.3 metres in a rate of 1-59.3 over Cowboy Cadillac (three back the markers) and You Two Bono (one/ two).

Bel Vu Ayesha (Blissful Hall/Flying Ayesha) making her eighth race appearance, enjoyed a lovely trip from gate two trailing the polemarker No Harmony and when taken into the clear on straightening, ran home stylishly to justify her recent good form in defeating the pacemaker, with On Stage third after following the pair. The mile rate 2-03.8.

It was ‘no shock’ when 5-Y-0 Cr Commando/ Gemstone Lady mare Shes Commando trained by electrician Denis Grieve in Bacchus Marsh snared the Win Television Trotters Handicap for T0 or better over 2205 metres.

Stepping cleanly from the 30 metre mark, Shes Commando with Greg Sugars in the sulky despite being left without cover, gradually made ground to join the leader Play By The Rules before gaining the upper hand on straightening to record a 4.6 metre victory in 2-09.7 from the pacemaker, with The Driller third after following Play By The Rules throughout.

Rockbank's Bill Galea combined with Damian Wilson to land the John Williams Creative Hairdressing 2-Y-0 Pace over 1785 metres with smart Live Or Die/Under Wraps gelding Living On Courage.

Sent forward four wide from gate six, Living On Courage crossed to lead on the first turn and the result was never in danger, winning by 9.3 metres in 2-03.6 from the Jayne Davies trained pair of Lombo Mini Lamouch (three back the markers) and Sleek And Sassy which trailed the winner.

Mt Cottrell father and son - John and Rhys Nicholson were successful with honest 5-Y-0 Courage Under Fire/BeAll Franco gelding Bulldozer who is on the market in the Print Solutions @ Work Pace for C2 & C3 class over 2205 metres.

Taking a concession, Bulldozer settled mid-field in the moving line from gate six, angling three wide in the last lap to trail Stickemup home.

Taken very wide on the home turn, Bulldozer ran home strongly to score from a game Iamnotabindi which faced the open and Georgeous An Divine along the sprint lane off the back of the leader Lombo Royal Flush. The mile rate 2-02.4.

Scored by a head ■ Popular Meltonian Ken Tippet combined with Rod Petroff to capture the Peter Egan Rentravision Pacers Handicap for C0 class only over 2190 metres with Steely Blue, a 4-Y-0 gelded son of Western Terror and Minnie The Moucher.

Spending the majority of the race facing the open outside pacemaker Grinsnroses from barrier five, Steely Blue outstayed his rivals to score by a head over Moment With Sue (one/one) and Grinsnroses in a rate of 2-03.7.

‘OVER THE MOON’ AT WARRAGUL

■ Woodend residents John, Sue and Sally Lanchester would have been ‘over the moon’ when their home bred 5-Y-0 Blissful Hall/Flying Ayesha mare Bel Vu Ayesha greeted the judge in the Droun Signs Pace for M0 class over 1785 metres at Warragul on Monday, June 25.

Trained and driven by Toolern Vale's John Justice, Bel Vu Ayesha making her eighth race appearance enjoyed a lovely trip from gate two trailing the polemarker No Harmony and when taken into the clear on straightening, ran home stylishly to justify her recent good form in defeating the pacemaker, with On Stage third after following the pair. The mile rate 2-03.8.

Short price ■ Bolinda's Paul Males continued the stable's present lucky run, when Real Desire/Lady Oren filly Real Performer scored in the Radford Butchers 3-Y-0 Pace over 2205 metres in a rate of 2-01.5.

Driven by Daryl Douglas, Real Performer bred and raced by Paul's dad Peter was a surprisingly short priced favourite ($1.50) and raced in the open throughout from gate three, proving too strong at the business end of proceedings for the pacemaker Ymbro Awesome, with Rhygrin (three back the markers) third on debut.

Long day ■ Bolinda's ChrisAlford as part of "a long day at the office" made the journey to Terang a profitable one, as he scored with honest 5-Y-0 Courage Under Fire/Young Jiggs mare No Tar in the choicehotels. com.au Pace for C4 & C5 class over 2180 metres.

Trained and driven by Chris, No Tar was given the run of the race from the pole trailing the pacemaker Narra Operative (gate three), before using the sprint lane to gain the day in advance of a deathseating Wheatsheaf Avaball and Remember Jasper (one/one) in a rate of 2-02.7.

Chris had earlier in the day driven a double aboard the Emma Stewart trained stablemates Win The Crows and Johnny Quid at Maryborough.

Restrained ■ Week in - week out, Nagambie's Chris Lang continues to provide the winners and at Bray Raceway Ballarat on Tuesday,

promising Dream Vacation/Miss Valuable filly Purplepeopleater broke her maiden status at start number six when successful in the Ballarat Mechanics Institute 3-Y-0 Vicbred Trotters Mobile over 2200 metres.

Bred and raced by Port Fairy residents Richard and Pauline Matthews, Purplepeopleater was restrained from outside the front row to settle at the tail of the field, with the first starter Holdontoyourhorses flying away from gate six to lead.

Sent forward three wide racing for the bell, Lang was able to ease Purplepeopleater into the one/one spot for the last lap, before again coming out approaching the home turn.

Once balanced on straightening, Purplepeopleater finished full of running to score from an eye catching Holdontoyourhorses in a rate of 207, with Wirra Storm running home late from near last to finish third.

Took control ■ Shelbourne (Marong) husband and wife Michelle and Dale Eastman chalked up another victory at Maryborough with 4-Y-0 Sundon/ Insulated mare Aleppo Midas, taking the 18 Days To Redwood Trotters Handicap for T2 or better class over the short trip of 2190 metres on Wednesday.

Stepping slowly but safely from 10 metres, Dale Eastman allowed Aleppo Midas plenty of time to find her feet, settling at the tail of the field with the exception of Siegfried which galloped shortly after the start and Salutetocabby who were both tailed off.

Easing three wide at the bell, Aleppo Midas charged around the field to park outside the pacemaker Knapdale Girl which had assumed control from Orlandos Dream approaching the bell.

Surging clear in the final circuit, Aleppo Midas gave a brilliant display to score by 12.8 metres in 202.9 from Orlandos Dream which came again on turning, with Sir Pegasus third after a cosy trip along the markers.

Great guns ■ Popular Parwan trainer Phil Chircop has 4-Y-0Armbro Operative/ Hanover Chic gelding Johnny Armbros going great guns and present and snared the S.J. Weir (Ballarat) Pty Ltd Pace for C0 class over 2200 metres at Bray Raceway Ballarat on Tuesday June 26 with him.

Driven by neighbour Craig Demmler, Johnny Armbros raced by Phil and wife Cath in partnership with John Lorensini, led throughout from gate four in defeating Artesian Glory which trailed, with Buddy Ripa (one/one) third. The mile rate 2-04.2.

It could have been a huge night for the Chircops, as son Michael's Armbro Expo finished a close and unlucky second to the Emma Stewart trained Mister Sheedy in the North Britain Hotel Pace at the meeting.

At M’boro.

■ Melton's Maree and John Caldow were winners at Maryborough on Wednesday, when American Ideal/Derrico filly Electrastar led throughout from the pole to land the Terry Ryan 2-Y-0 Pace over 1690 metres, defeating Hunzarella which trailed using the sprint lane to no avail, with Gee Mae third after moving to race in the open at the bell. The mile rate 2-01.

The victory will give Maree, son Matt and daughter Lauren (all part owners) extra cash to splash after leaving on a European tour last week.

■ Navigators trainer Leigh Duffy was in the winners stall at Terang on Wednesday, when Metropolitan/Ebony Navigator filly Mintropolitan scored in the Terang CRT Store 3-Y-0 Pace over 2180 metres.

Raced by Leigh and brother Phillip, Mintropolitan was driven to perfection by Rod Petroff, settling three back in the running line from inside the second line, moving to be one/one on the final bend, then switching down to the sprint lane on turning to race clear in accounting for Im For Real which led on straightening and Big Mumma Fitz (three wide last lap) in a rate of 2-02.5.

Sat three back ■ Kerryn Manning's recent Kiwi import Waterhorse didn't take long to register his first Australian victory, taking out the North Ballarat Sports Club Inc. Pace for C1 class over 1710 metres at Bray Raceway Ballarat on Tuesday when making his second race appearance since crossing the Tasman.

Setting three back in the moving line from gate two on the second line with the well fancied American Muscle leading from gate six, Waterhorse a 4Y-0 gelded son of Live Or Die and Chipover moved forward three wide in the last lap, before running home stylishly to score over American Muscle in a rate of 1-57.4, with Dutch Harbour third after racing in the open.

Used sprint lane ■ Former South Australian 6-Y-0 Dream Vacation/Mountain Track gelding Jarvsofaks a recent addition to Kerryn Manning's Great Western barn, made it two from two since joining the stable when an impressive winner of the Bob and Pat Conroy Trotters Handicap for T0 or better class over 2180 metres at Terang on Wednesday.

Coming from a 30 metre backmark, Jarvsofaks was soon travelling three back in the moving line, with the local hope Lovable Nick leading from the 10 metre mark.

Becoming momentarily pocketed in the final circuit when Atego Lilly moved forward three wide, Jarvsofaks was eased three wide approaching the home turn and when taken to the extreme outside on straightening, ran home strongly to record a runaway 1.5 metre victory in 2-05.8 over Tawonga South along the sprint lane after trailing Lovable Nick into the straight, with Lovable Nick holding down third.

Kerryn chalked up a double when Art Major/ Petticoat Tales 3-Y-0 colt Night Affair greeted the judge in the Telstra Store Warrnambool Pace for C1 class over 2180 metres in a rate of 2-03.3.

Restrained from gate four to possie four back in the moving line, Night Affair was off and running at the bell, before outstaying his rivals to score from Whosgunagetit along the sprint lane from three back the markers and Life Of Franco which followed the winner home.

First win since October ■ Stawell trainer Owen Martin and son-in-law reinsman Michael Sullivan captured the Blarney Bakehouse Pace for C2 & C3 class over 1680 metres at Terang with 5-Y-0 Lake Hills Jeb/Wrap Around gelding Hellovanite, registering his first success since October last year.

Taking a concession, Hellovanite from inside the second line enjoyed a cosy passage trailing the poleline pacemaker The Avoca Flyer, before using the sprint lane to perfection in defeating Djibouti (five wide home turn from last) in a rate of 1-58.3, with a death-seating Hei Ma Diamond battling the race out strongly to finish third.
