Ride through thy ——— to-day with shield and ———,
And ——— no horseflesh so they may engage

Who now would give a thought to ——— or peaches?
He truly farms who ——— a golden store;
And, though he cannot ——— the simplest speeches,

Each missing word is spelt with the same five letters.
No. XV.—A FRENCH WORD SQUARE
Here is an excellent French Word Square of seven letters:—
| R | E | N | E | G | A | T |
| E | T | A | L | A | G | E |
| N | A | V | I | R | E | S |
| E | L | I | D | A | N | T |
| G | A | R | A | N | C | E |
| A | G | E | N | C | E | R |
| T | E | S | T | E | R | A |
This is a worthy companion to the English seven-letter squares on “[Problem]” and “[Palated],” which are given on other pages.

——— in the ——— far away,
Remote alike from heaven and hell,
The silent ———, so poets say,
Who shape the ends of mortals dwell.
