from Spain to Clement VII, gives sec
ond. But it will be found that the first
line, drawn to the west of the Canary ISL
and and the Azores, has merely its coun-
terpart in the second, which, passing be-
tween Sumatra and Borneo, carries the
division round or through the globe. It
is curious that while the second line is so
drawn as just to place the Muluccas with
in the limits it represents as having been
assigned to Spain, the delineation of
those and of the neignboring islands, in
their then only partially discovered
forms, including what appears to be a
bit OF the coast of New Guinea, should
have been added at the western extremity

extremity of that map, which if complete
would show whether the pope had drawn
second line or had completed the first
through the opposite hemisphere, has
now disappeared and may possibly have
been mutilated at that time.

IL is now nearly a score of years, says
The Philadelphia Times, since a comely,
graceful woman stood between the lace
curtains that shaded the window of a
lovely home in Brooklyn watching len-
der, dark-haired man, who turned to wave
his hand before passing out of sight.
There was a smile on both faces as
the hurrying feet of the pedestri-
and carried him around cor
ner and the woman leaned out of
the window to watch his vanishing form.
Two children played about her feet, and
so far as the ordinary eye could see, the
house itself was the abode of domestic
contentment, if not love. The dark
haired man was Theodore Tilton, and the
woman, it is needless to add was his wife
but what home has undergone a sadder
and greater change in the same relentless
time? After roaming from place to place
the restless Tilton has settled in Paris,
where it is announced that he means to
stay. In lonely chamber of the Prots-
tant convent at Newark Mrs. Tilton sits
and sews from day to day, the gray light
of November falling upon her furrowed
face and lending an ashen color to her
always palled cheeks. OF the little girls
tnab pldyeu dt hef IeeI uhau september
morning in Brooklyn, one, Florence, is
living a students life in Switzerland, and
the other has found a home among
friends in Chicago. They say
that Tilton expects to marry
again, but the rumor is only
rumor. 1t is quite too late for him to re-
trieye his former errors, whatever they
were, and he best serves himself by his
dignifed silence. For the other parties
to the greut controversy perhaps the
same can also be charitably said. All the
elements of tragedy are contained in
the affair, excepting the necessary death,
and that is more than equaled by the I'M
broken silence which at least two of the
principals maintain.
