their silent court.
 So much lavished on beast of the field and she. made in the likeness Of God. looked in vain for sympathy, some touch of human interest that might ease her aching heart! What mockery! This bull, flower of the herd. by force Of his lordy markings raised to the pin nacle of a nations adoration! She whom beauty had as sharply separated from the others of her sex had gained by this gift d husband whose highest form of regard was an intolerable Jealousy, life partner who was already numbing the eager vitality of her girls heart and making it cry out to itself in the yearn- ing of it's loneliness. Why should the heart spontaneously put forth tendrils if there was naught which they might grasp for support, no other heart to which they could cling, strengthening and strengthened by the preordained clasp?
 Such was the leaven of thought in the hungering soul of Clarice Bonvale as she sailed up the ten miles of river that lay between Cairo and Memphis on the Pilgrimage to the tomb of the Apis bulls. The trip should have been an enchant- ing one. Streaming sunshine. vivid color and air that would have rejoiced spring buds lent sweetness to the Egyptian day. But the mill of her heart was grinding fine it's grist of bitterness. In the near foreground of every view, even the long vista of existence stood a human being whose shadow fell upon her soul with blighting chill.
 They landed at Sakkarah and made the short transit to the tombs on donkeys. Clarice smiled faintly as she felt that the kindliest emotion awakened in her by this land of Ptolemies and the resplend- ent Cleopatra was due to this same small beast of burden--strong, diminutive, with demure relish of its gorgeous trappings.
 The tOmbs of the Apis bulls were as depressing as she had imagined. Out of the intense glitter and warm brown clearness of the upper world they plunged into the stuffy gloom of straitened in- closures underground. Descending few steps. they found themselves In a long corridor. out of which opened several small rooms some IS by IS feet in dimen- ns-throne-rooms. so to speak, of the defunct and suhlmated bulls. In the cen ter of the room stood the sareophagus. hawn from a single block of granite or

subdued glint of burnished copper. On her hands, which were very tempera- mental two or three unique gems flashed with dignified splendor.
 "A transplanted Helen" thought Bald win after a critical survey of the beau- tiful young creature. She was type, and he relished a new type of the "eter- nal feminine" more than he would a bot tie of Johannisberger from Prince Met ternichs own cave. During his dinner he watched her from his table with keen but well cloaked vigilance.
 The Duchess was right again. The girl ish bride wore a Worth dinner gown elaborately wrought out in the highest elegance of the prevailing mode Her neck was so round and plastic that Bald- win felt 1t a delight to see the shapely head pivot on it, while the tempered modesty with which her corsage screened her exquisite bosom showed a masterly knowledge of the value of modlhed ex- posture.
 The groom? Why. he was the groom. a side light on the bride. Baldwin re- garded him solely as a correlated being an accompaniment to his wife. worthy one, so far as exte-nals went. He vas not above noting that ALrs. Bonvale par took moderately of the champagne which MT. Bonvalc ordered. He consumed most of 1t and with something more than the relish with which e gentleman drinks wine at llnner.
 "They are married, and it is the honey moon." Baldwin remarked airily to the Duchess as he passed her table.
 During the even;ng in his role of henev- olus spectator and student of his kind Baldwin did not neglect to observe that the young husband left his wife alone two or three times, though as yet she had apparently discovered no acquaintances at Shepheard s. These withdrawals were to repair the fatigue of travel by sup plementing the wine at dinner with more notent if smaller drafts. Besides his ab- sense of desire to supply his wife with any other companionship than his own, the perfunctory character of Mir. Bon yale's attentions attested no tender so- licitude to make himself as agreeable as possible. He seemed to guard rather than protect his wife.
 Later on Baldwin felt the young wife's artlessly rowing gaze veering in his dt- rection. He eonsiderateiy abstractsd his

erary achievement. Baldwin was forced to admit that for once a glowing report had not paved the way to a disappointing reality. He had not supposed the girl was so young; still less he imagined the compulsion of her charms.
 Clarice Bonyale was so radiantly beau tiful that the most biase observer could not but surrender to some thraldom Her face was aristocratically oval. Her clear olive skin, smooth as a rose leaf. was suffused with the most delicate pink. as if Cupid were breathing on her cheeks. A well modelled nose, mouth with clean cut, subtle curves and sensitive to degree. which revealed perfect teeth when the lips parted and lent a turing mobility almost childlike, to her lower face But her eyes and hair were the girls crown ing glory. Such round. iustrous eyes, so brilliantly soft and, despite a keen alert ness in their glance, incongruously be- seeching. The long, silky lashes. with their upward curve. failed to lend even a suspicion of languor to their bright ness. The delicately arched eyebrows were an added note of wistfulnees. In the wavy masses of her hair there was

in the drawing room of her home in Phil- adeIpha before small cabinet. Her eyes were fixed upon something In 1t. Her air was pensive, resigned, pathetic- ally sweet as she stood there lost in mem- orfes. Her 1ustrous eyes seemed to soften as she gazed.
 At that moment woman who had come through the rooms without being heard on the rugs hustled up to her and ex- claimed vivacfously: 'I knew you would see me. Clarice. I am glad I came in unannounced so as to catch you in that pose wish you could have your picture taken as you looked just now. You were perfectly lovely. I never saw you with that expression before. You seemed lost in thought. What were you thinking about, dear?"
 The lady's eyes reverted to the eabi- net as if to discover the source of such soothing memories.

 "Oh, I see" murmured the other, with a conventional drop in her hearty voice. You passed your honeymoon there. didn't t you? Those two little images recall 1t, suppose. Poor Lucien! Did he give them to you? Who are they. and what do they mean?'

 Some one has said: The East is q land of mystery. If one cares for 1t at all, one loves 1t. There is no half way. If one does not love 1t ,one really hates it and all it's ways" Clarice Bonvale did not love it. She saw it all with her hus- band. She had come 10 feel him dis turbing figure in the foreground of every scene. even the widely extending one of life.
 Those ranges of boats with their curv- ed yards make me think of great dry sedges bent by the wind, and those tall, tufted palms look like gigantic feather dusters stuck in the sand" she remarked to Bonvale with a short little laugh. They were sailing on the Nile the yellow Lib- van hills in the distance.
 The quick wrinkle came into his smooth forehead, and there was the disgusted compression of his hps.
 You ought to learn to take things as you find them" he said, with an irri- tated, monitory air.
 The girls mouth quivered to a slight. proud smile, but formed no answer. She had already begun to take Lucien Bon vale as she found him, but her resent ment at having to do so was not there fore the less.
 She was looking forward with sharp de- sire to the hour of their departure If she fell in unprotestingly with MT. Bon vales proposition to go here or there. 1t was with the relieving sense that one more reason for remaining would be eX hausted. In this spirit she assented to his wish to ''do'' the tombs of the Apis bulls She hated tombs more than any thing-flrst. because she was too alive not to detect the thought of death and, then, because she Ioathed the warm glow, the acrid smell. the scurrying flight of bats and the smoky flare of the torches in these subterranean chambers.
 What is an Apis bull? And why should it have a tomb?" she asked curiously.
 "Oh, when they found~ bull with cer- tain markings the priests made the people think Osiris had gone into him, and they adored the beast" replied Bonvale, quite content with this degree of erudition on the subject.
 Mrs. Bonvals informed herself some

FORESTRY IN THE SOUTH.
Charleston Lumber Firm Will Put 10000 Acres Under Forest Man
 agement.


 The lumber firm of E. P. Burton & Co. of Charleston, s. C., has asked for the help of the Bureau of Forestry in man. aging 5000 acres of pine forest about thirty miles northwest of Charleston, on the Cooper River. The companys mills have a capacity of 20,o0O,0o0 board feet a year, and the company wishes to know, among other things. whether the yearly increase in growth of its present forest is sufficient to supply its mills. If 1t should be found not to be sufficient. the company desires to know how many ad- ditlonal acres are required to make it 50.
 A party under F. E. Olmsted has been sent to the field to collect the figures and make the calculations necessary for the working plan that will answer the com pany's queries. The forest consists main ly of loblolly. with some longieaf and spruce pine. It contains also some large swamps with heavy stands of cypress. gum and oaks. Logging Is done by steam skidders. The logs are transported by railroad to Cooper River and rafted to Charleston. The working plan will in and what 1t Is producing yearly; an esti- mate of the number of additional acres necessary to afford the mill sustained supply; a system of protection from fire; and certain silVicultural work connected with the study of the growth of trees under different conditions The party will be occupied during December, Jan uary and February. Owing to the rapid growth of the pines in the virgin forest ana the ease with which natural repro auction is obtained, the opportunity Is exceptionally favorable for the applica- ton of practical forestry.

own. When he let his glance dr't her way again, thinking she would have passed him by. he was momentariy fiat tered to find her eyes fixed on him dream fly. Almost at the moment her husband turned and, with what Baldwin thought a tactless quickness. let his own eyes fol- low the direction of his wifes to ascer- tain the object of her regard. With still less tact he brought his thin lips tightly together, and his white forehead puck cred like peevish child's. He must have intimated to the lady his desire to with draw. for he brusquely rose and looked about with the repeliant air with which some people insinuate their exclusiveness. She got up at once and followed him from the room with graceful deference.
 He seems to like to stalk ahead and let his woman trail after him a la the aboriginal lords of creation" reflected Baldwin with a somewhat contemptuous smile. "The honeymoon is dwindling to q crescent, I fancy, and I should not wonder if there were a Bonvale impaled on its horns before long. But which?''

which Is one of its unpleasantest effects.
 As Clarice Bonvale's eager young soul rebelled under the scourge of this double revelation dull mist seemed to obscure the effulgent radiance of the Orient and an iron thorn pricked through its sensu- ous incidence. Sine was a soft, innocent, ignorant young thing, capable of Heaven only knew what possibilities. Until now rose leaves had strewn her way through life and homage to her wonderful beauty had been stimulating incense to her brain if not to her heart She had always had her mother hitherto. Now she had only her husband. That she should SC phrase 1t to herself filled her with a childlike shrinking and despair. Never before had her soul known this helpless loneliness. It is desolating thing Tor a proud, ardent young wife to learn that she has married stranger who, as her husband, Is rapidly becoming bereav- ing acquaintance.
 There was a dumb cry in her heart for some touch of human sympathy for the soothing support which affection exhales, This poignant Isolation was enhanced by her surroundings. The gayety of the ho- tel.people, the superficial splendor. almost nakedness, of the Orient's color, the mel ancholy of the tombs. mournful memo rialS or a human Klnd asSociateo Wltl so remote a past as to be merged in the mythical the stolid insensibility of the sitting figures in the many shops of the great bazaar, from which drifted per fumes strangely sensuous, but poorly in- vigorating: even the thin, penetrating cry of the muezzins. perched like human storks on the slender minarets and in- citing the Moslem to mechanical devo- tions with their reiterated "Alla Akbar, Ala Akbar, La Allah il Allah! Heyya alasallah." The narrow, dirty alleys, the garish Paris sugsestiveness in so much of the Khedives capital-all seemed to drain her heart and leave in 1t a heavier burden of aching void.
 The same numbing undercurrent of sadness ran through their excursions to
