but the outcome of the excavations on the hill
Of Hissarlik proves that In the'work Of compi-
lation the original homelike picture was pre-
served. and even the later patchwork. which
binds together the original materials
scarcely disturbs the unity Of impression.

Il Is an interesting fact that Grote. who never

the low mound Of Hissarlik seemed ut
terly unsuited for an inaccessible fort
ress, rising as It does only to height
OF fifty to sixty-five feet above the plhins.
The truth is. however. that the Homeric, Troy
was. above all things. maritime city. q chnrac-
teristic which comes out clearly In the story OF
the rape Of Helen. To It's highly favored stu
alton on tho straits between two seas the city
owed the power and the, wealth SING OF In the
Homeric poems As regards the choice OF To-
cation Il resembles almost all the other cities
proved by recent excavations to belong to the
same opulent civilization. Tityns, Orcho-
menos, Athens were only 30 far removed from
the sea as was necessary to avoid the imme-
diate dangers OF piracy: in each case the In
hsbitants preferred to settle on o low hill and
to surround II with high walls. rather than to
seek in the mountains the natural protection
Of rocks and precipices.' Again. many Incidents
OF the Iliad imply much shorter distanc6from
Troy to the sea than is the case at Bunarbashi.
Moreover. since the fastness falls away pre-
cipitously on three sides, the pursuit Of Hector
by Achilles. which is at least conceivable at
Hissarlik. becomes at Balidagh impossible.
Finally. with regard to the actual ruins at
Balidagh. DR.. Schuchhardt tells us that they
are simply the remains Of o sman circuit wall.
In one place. indeed. the masonry. as In the
prehistoric circuit wall at Hissarlik. consists
OF a scarp OF small stones. but the remainder
belongs at the earliest to the fourth or nth
century B. G. The surface OF the rock within
the walls is covered with q very thin layer Of
debris, which proves It to have been inhabited
only during q short time. and In SPITE Of the
various excavations by Hahn in 1884. and later
by DR.. schliemann. no traces Of . prehistoric
settlement have been discovered.

manifest that when johnson spoke OF shen-

he was indicating the impossibility OF brid9-

speaks OF q candle lighted at Whitechapel Civ

you?o He answered nothing. and she
looked up between his eyelids. And she
said: "What can you give the child
hoalth?" And he said: 1.-The man / touch,
! there wakes up in his blood a burning fever
! that shall lick his blood as fife. The fever
that I will give him shall be cured when his
life is cured."
"You give wealth?"
He shook his head. "Ths man whom I
| touch, when he bends to pick up gold, he
sees suddenly a light over his head in the
! sky; while he looks up to see it the gold
| slips from between his fingers, or some
! times another passing takes it from him.
"Fame?"
He answered, ''I.ikely not. For the man
I touch there is a path traced out in the
| sand by a finger which no man sees. That
he must follow, Sometimes it leads almost
to the top and then turns down suddenly
| into the valley. He must follow it, though
none else sees the tracing"
'Love?"
He said: HE shall hunger for it-but he
shall not find it. When he stretches out
his arms to it and would lay his heart
against a thing he loves. then, far of along

not journey with him; he must travel
alone. When he presses somewhat to his
burning heart, crying. Mine. mine. my

nounce! this is not thine!"
"He shall succeed?''
Ho said: He shall fail. When he runs
with others they shall reach the goal before
him. For strange voices shall call to him
and strange lights shall beckon him.. and he
must wait and listen. And this shall be the
%strangost; far off across the burning sands
where, to other mon, there is only the des-
ert waste, he shall see Il blue sea! On that
sea the sun shines always, and the water is
blue as burning amethyst. and tho foam is
white on the shore. A great land risesfrom
1t, and he shall see upon the mountain tops
burning gold"
The mother said: ''He shall reach it2"
And he smiled curiously.
She said: "Is it real?"
And he said: What is real?"
And she looked up between his half closed
eyelids, and said, "Touch.''
And he leaned forward and laid his hand

ing, and this only she heald-"This ghall
