"Waen my little boy was six years old
he had an attack of the measles, and after
recovering he was restless at night, had

Later on, large blotches and sores, broke
out on his face and limbs. We were told
they would heal in few days: but
these few days grew into months. One

alone remarkable. It lies on the right
bank of the Moselle river, with fertile
valleys stretching away to one side,
while the other side is girt by steep
cliffs and gorges, rising 600 to 1000
feet high, and in their picturesque
ruggedness and curious formation
they present wildly grandiose pano-
rama. The rock is a fine-grained sand
stone of reddish hue, and to stand
by the side of the river about shutdown,
and to see the lower valley already in
shadow, and the rocks gilt by the last
rays of the disappearing orb is one of
the finest sights imaginable. A famous
old bridge of solid masonry, span
ming the green Moselle by 12 arches,
leads to the town, whose many spires
proclaim it to ~e place of great piety.
For the stranger, think, the Roman
antiquities and excavations, and the
so-called provincial museum, are most
calculated to hold ones attention.
The museum contains thousands of
objects large and small which have
been brought to the surface through
intentional or accidental excavations

of the Treves of to-day with these

style of building, especially in the

far the largest and costliest building
of all, could be packed score of times
in the ruins of these old bathing
establishments. The ancient arena is

In more than one respect Treves
lin German called Trier) is the
most interesting city in the whole
of Germany. For one thing, it is by
far the oldest. Nearly all the other
cities in that country were either
founded since Germany became a po-
litical entity of its own, viz. on the
death of Charlemagne in SAL, or at
least were nothing but insignificant
hamlets or villages prior to that time.
But Treves was an important metrop-
oils, one of the largest and most bril-
liant in the Roman empire, early in
the present Christian era. Under the
name Augusta Trevirorum the city
was one of the acknowledged resi-
dences of the Roman Caesars for sew
eral centuries, and number of the
emperors made it their favorite cap
ital. During that time, especially the
time OF 200 to 500 A. D., numerous
splendid buildings,.an imperial palace,
q gigantic area, public baths, and
many other structures typical of Ro-
man civilization, were erected, and
the city at that period must have had
popula ton close to 800 1000, with sew
eral suburbs in which wealthy patri-
clans and merchants owned fine conn-
try residences, the ruins of which even
to-day excite admiration by their plas-
tic beauties. In 1927, when Emperor
Constantine the Great declared the
Christian faith the state religion,
Treves was made the see of an ex-
tensive archbishopric, which it has re-
manned ever since and is to-day.
The Treves of now, however, is by O
means of the size or Importance of its
earlier days, and its population is only
about 100000. The visitor will find it,

There was terrible pause, in which
George felt as though icicles must be
forming all over the furniture.
"Where's the locket with my picture
in it that gave you last week?" said
Geraldine, abruptly-referring to a
silver dollar piece which, by the prop
er twisting of the two sides, opened
and showed colored photograph.
George reached for it and then sud-
denly stopped.
"You can't find it," said Geraldine,
stabbing al the truth. II suppose you
threw it away on that ebony eyed
street musician. Is that the way you
value my gifts, Mr.. Harris?''

days, each member Of the crew doing
netting il keeping with the char
acter he is meant to typify.s The ept-
taphs, too, which are here by the hum
bred, tell often in humorous or sad
fashion Of the lives Of those they were
meant to describe. There are carved
pictures Of woe-a disconsolate hus-
band weeping at the bier Of his wife,
with the little children clinging to
the shadowy skirts, and there are eu-
phonistic lines devoted u the life and
death OF a faithful Lousekeeper or
trusty slave. In short, these tomb
stones contain the carved history Of
those days, at least in the domestic
way, and to carefully study them is
equivalent to learning much of the
inner. life and modes of thought of
the Roman world, both before and
after the introduction of Christianity.
The jewelry and the tools found show
how exquisite and refined was the
artistic taste Of those days. Every line
| in the tools, and every twist and curve
in the rare pins and brooches and dia-
| denis are beautiful and exquisite. One
clearly sees how very much this pres
ent generation has still to learn to
equal those ancient artifcers in skill
and taste and invention, and it seems
reasonable to suppose that the domes-
tic life even of the middle classes in
this provincial city of Roman i'm
perial days was on scale of afauence
away beyond the present, for the in
ner decorations of the private bathing
establishments of their houses are lux
urious and on scale of expense which
no person of the same class to-day
would think of rivaling.
| However, perhaps even of greater
interest to us to-day are the ruins,
some in splendid state of preserva-
ton, of some of the great public build
ings built by the Roman emperors ], 500
or 1,70O years ago, above all, the
Porta Nigra, so-called to-day because
| of its dark construction material. It
| is the remnant of a structure which
seems to have served as barracks and
watch tower for a portion of the Ro-
man garrison of the Treves of those
early days, and the masonry is still
so excellently preserved that it bids
fair to last another thousand years,
and it is, as matter of fact, used
even to-day as passage for vehicles,
man and beast. The architectural out
lines are pure, and belong to the best
Roman period.
