THE CHAMBER OF SLEEP

I have a Castle OF Silence, flanked by
lofty\..aep,
And across the drawbrldge lieth the
lovely chamber Of sleep;
Its walls are draped with legends WOW
en- in threads of gold,
Legends beloved In dreamland, In the
tranquil days of old.
Here lies the Princess sleeping in the
palace, solemn and still,
And knight and countess slumber; ana
even the noisy rlll
That flowed by the ancient tower has
passed on its way to the sea,
And the deer are asleep In the forest,
and the birds are asleep in the
tree.
And in my Castle of Silence, In my
chamber Of sleep lie down,
Like the far-off murmur OF forests
come the turbulent echoes Of
town,
And the wrangllng tongues about me
have now no power to keep
My soul from the solace exceeding the
blessed Nirvana of sleep,
Lower the portcullls softly sentries,
placed on the wall;
Let shadows Of quiet and silence on
all my palace fall
Softly draw my curtains. Let the
world labor and weep
NV soul Is safe environed by the walls
OF my chamber Of sleep

TO Boston, raised every dollar possible

quite long enough but do not endeav-

NOTES.

Few current topics In literary circles
have caused so much comment as the
choice of the biographer Of Robert Lou
Is Stevenson. AS Is well known, SID
ney Colvin, the accomplished editor OF
Stevensons Letters, was the man hrst
chosen, and the announcement natur-
ally gave universal satisfaction. When
the news was given out that he had
decided TO relinquish the task, protests
came from all sides. and chorus or
queries arose "Who is Graham Bal
four that he should be enyeloped In Mr.
Colvin's cast-off mantle" To meet
with such rebuff at the very outset OF
his work was surely enough TO daunt
even a drawer man than Mr. Balfour
He has. however, proved his ability to
do Justice 20 the life and fame az Stew

anticipation Of the result of his task:

Grafton II seemed to me-and to Mr..
Colvin-that Mr.. Balfour. a relative, a
friend a member of the family at
Vailima during the concluding and per-
haps most interesting period Of Mr..
Stevenson's life. was more fitted than
any one else TO take Mr.. Colyins place.
Mr.. Balfour's close intimacy during
those troubous years in Samoa gave
him a sympathetic insight into my hus-
bands character that no other biograph-
er could aspire to. while his ardent adj
mIration. intensified by the ties OF kim
