the Golden Fleece, which was the
treasure Of her father. But after help
ing him she dared not face her fathers
anger. So she departed with Jason
from Colchis and became his wife.
Now, you remember that it had been
no easy task to take the fleece from the
sacred grove Of Mars. dragon with
a hundred eyes that never all slept at
the same time guarded 1t. And Ii was
only by entertainments and charms that
Jason was enabled to obtain the prize.
p. When Medea was alittle child she
passed her life with Circe. her fathers
sister. From her she learned the Sc
cret power OF herbs; how to invoke the
dark powers with incantatiOns; In
short, ali the secrets of entertainments
and sorcery.
So it was by her power that Jason
had first tanned the fire-breathing bulls;
had slain the army that sprung fully
armed from the soil, after he planted
the teeth of the dragon: and it. was by
her that the dragon in the grove OF
Mars was put to sleep while Jason
snatched the shining fleece. and you re-
member how they sped together down
to the Argo, and. as Orpheus played
upon his harp, how the vessel sailed
swiftly away.
But not unpursued did the Argo de-
part. King Aeetes suspected treach-
cry and finding. when too late, that
his treasure was gone and his prey es-
capped, for he had intended killing ia
son on the next morning, he started
after the fleeing bark.
Medea had foreseen this result and
had guarded against il. She had
brought her little brother with her,
and now she called him to her. When
the pursuing vessels began to gain
upon the Argonauts, she committed
the darkest crime in her life. Her lit
tic innocent brother. who loved her
and depended upon her. was sacrificed
by her own hand. After killing him,
as he embraced and kissed her. she cut
his poor little body into pieces and
threw them out of the vessel and King
Aeetes, stopping to gather them up to
give them decent burial. gave up the
chase, and the Argo sped on.
So it will very frequently happen
that where great deed is performed,
dark stain is somewhere overshadow-
ing the outward effulgent dress that
history and romance put upon 1t. And

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Frank Hahne, n Timer, Fell so Feet
and Then Walks on Uninjured.


Frank Hahne. a timer. employed by
Mr.. J. F. Freeman, on the McAlpin build
ing, had a most miraculous escape from
sudden death yesterday Hahne was at
work with other workmen on the roof of
the third story addition to the building,
about o'clock yesterday when he either
lost his footing or a portion of the scat
folding beneath his feet gave away, and
he was precipitated to the ground fifty
feet below.
Fortunately for Hahne he fell inside the
garden fence. on the McDonough street
side, the soft earth Of the garden break
ing his fall. The wonder is that his body
did not describe more of an ellipse in
falling, in which case he would have fallen
on the brick wall or on the brick side
walk beyond. Another thing in his favor
was that he fell full length, the shock
being distributed throughout his entire
body.
Those who saw him fall thought, Of
course, that he had been killed outright
or fatally wounded. Messengers were
sent at once for physicians Drs. L. II.
Lanier and b. S. Purse responded. DR..
Lanier was the first to arrive and gave the
man an injection of morphine. DIR. Purse,
who arrived a little later made an ex-
animation, and found that there were no
serious injuries. The right side Of Hahne 8
face was scratched and his lip was cut
The only injury that was at all serious
was a fracture of the end of the small
bone of the ankle. This injury is painful
but viii not necessarily keep the patient
confined for any length Of time. DIR.
Purse Is attending Hahne. In speaking
with a Morning News reporter of the
accident DR.. Purse said that it was the
most wonderful escape ne mad ever known
and surpassed all the records Of the Brook
lyn and other bridge jumpers. The man
was so far from being seriously injured
that he would not go home right away,
saying that he did not wish to alarm his
wife, who was in a low state of health
He afterward took the street car for his
home on King street, in the southwest
ern part of the city.
