not to be judged by this one action
Of my life"
Il do not think so nov, Leah" he
remarked.
But you would know it then, Basil
and the ligh of heroism was on her
face as she spoke. Il wish / could
prove ii. j. any one attempted your
life, | would cast myself before you
and receive the death blow instead"
mo one is likely to put you to the
test dear" he said with faint
laugh.
CHAPTER XVII.
Ten minutes more, and it will be
over" said Sir Basil to himself-he
was in the drawing-room alone,
waiting for Sir Arthur and the ladies'
The room was brilliantly lighted,
and he saw there for the first time a
magnificent picture that Sir Arthur
had purchased that year at the Royal
Academy. 1t was called "Oenone."
1t was terribly, tragically beautiful.
There lies a vale in Ida, lovlier
Than all the valleys Of Ionian hills. +"
Hlther came the beautiful-bowed
Oenone, she whom Paris had wor-
shipped so wildly, then deserted for
golden-haired Aphrodite-Oenone
whose despairing cry will ring through
all ages
"Oh mother Ida, many-fountained Ida
Dear mother Ida, harkene ere | die,
am the daughter of a rivergod.
Hear me, for | will speak, and build
up all
My sorrow with my song"
The beautiful face, with its restless
passion Of misery, was turned to the
fair valley where the cicala slept;
the purple flowers droop, the gloden
bee is lily-cradled." On her face was
all the pathos of her words
my eyes are full Of tears, my heart OF
love,
My heart is breaking, and my eyes are
dim,
And am weary of my life"
The despair shown in her face, in
the clasp of her folded hands, in the
droop Of the beautiful head, was
grand in its tragedy Oenone was
leaning against rock; the wind
seemed to stir the white folds of her
robe and the dark unbound masses of
her hair. No one who saw the eyes in
the picture could ever forget them
they were SO dark and lustrous, so full
of burning passion and despair.
Sir Basil was engrossed in 1t. He
did not hear Sir Arthur enter the
room, for he was in the land which
human sounds never reach. Sir
Arthur laid his hand upon the young
baronet's shoulder.
You are absorbed in my new pur-
chase" he said. Was there ever
finer than the tragic sorrow
and desolation of that face? That
long flowing black hair SO beautifully
painted that one can almost see the
wind stirring it. ] value that picture
most highly"
II have never seen such sorrow in
any human face" said Sir Basil.

WHERE MUSK COMES FROM.
1t Is the Product of Deer That is
Raised Largely in India.

Raised Largely in India.
Musk is not an agreeable perfume
to many people. although it is highly
esteemed by others. who run the risk
OF being called vulgar in order that
they may enjoy its pungeut odor
Musk in its raw state looks a good
deal like axle grease and smells worse
- popular axiom that the musk Of
commerce is obtained from the musk
rat is a mistake. Their is obtained
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat, bur most Of the supply comes
from the musk deer. a creature that
is carefully reared in India for tie
sake OF the secretion. The secretion
is shipped in the crude state and is
used not only in the manufacture of
the liquid perfume sold as musk. but
also in very small quantities to give
strength and staying power to many
perfumes made from the essential ellis
Of flowers

At the time of the. fire there was

bulgarian government Is not responsive
Tor the Macedonian violence; seconu,
neither St Petersburg, Vienna nor paIls
has the intention to permit bulgaria 10
be held responsible ~
The communication closes with tne
statement that the porte's first duty Is
10 carry ont the general plan Tor the
Balkan reforms, repress the Albanian
