And We'll walk soft-shod together.
And our feet shall make no sound,
Through the corridors We know, dear.

Walk and talk and know no waking.
Know no parting ways at ALL

We shall stand and watch together
Till the night and day have met
Stand in dying days last glory

BETHSAIDA,N
A Tale Of the Time OF the Caesars-By
Malcolm Dearborn, Author
of "LlOnel ArdOn."


This story covers an interesting period,
trial and death Of Christ. There are two
scenes in which the Saviour figures, as he
is being led TO execution, and the effect his
presence produces on the two chief per.
sonages of the story is graphically described.
The hero, Aristarchus, is Roman noble
of great wealth. Hisfather, Petronius, has
been doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had unintentionally Of
tended: On his last night on earth, while
Petronius was looking from the roof 81 his
palace, he witnessed strange light in the
heavens. 1t rose, paused, vibrated, then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
Syria.
While he was still gazing at it, slave ap-
proaches and announces to him the birth of
sociates the wondrous light in the heavens
with the birth of his son. The light, of
course, was the star of Bethlehem, pro-
claiming the birth of Christ, whose influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main in
cidents Of the story. That night Petronius
dies by his own hand to avoid the ignomin-
lous death planned for him by Augustus.
disguised with the materialism and vapid
luxury Of Rome, and is, moreover, involved
in quarrel with Tiberius during one of the
latter's drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
turns Eastward in his course. There he
learns of the strange fame of the "Naza.
rene," whom he forwith desires to see. His
wish is granted by a sight of Jesus as he is
being led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutionizes his
whole life.
The heroine, Bethsaida, who gives name
to the story. is maiden of humble birth, but
Of strange character and commanding beau.
ty. Her father has trained her to be dane
ing girl at the court of Plate. She, too, sees
Christ as he is being led to death, and the
effect wrought causes her to plan flight
from the influence of Plate and his court.
Chance brings about a meeting between her
and Aristarchus, and their mutual expe.
riences in the encounter with Christ form a
bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
so foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts Of tyranny and kindli-
ness that distinguish Plate, whose love for
his wife, Claudia, despite his infdelity to
her, is his one saving trait, make an engag-
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loveable
character in the book. Her justice, religious
sympathy and devotion are well depicted.
The tone of the book is that of unquestion-
ing belief in the miraculous birth and mis-
sion of Christ.

TWO QUEER MUSICIANS.
san Franciscnn Dog and Cat Flay
Duets ON Piano and Like the
Noise They Make.

Thomas Tucker and Biondi are the
strangest piano players in the coun-
try. Thomas is a Maltese cat and
Biondi is fox terrier. They belong
to Miss Anita Bridger, an actress,
whose home is in San Francisco. The
dog was picked UP on the street and
the cat was given to Miss Bridger by
laundry woman.
The musical accomplishments of the
animals were acquired largely by &C.
cident. Thomas, the cat, was partial
to sleeping on the keys of the piano
whenever the instrument was left
open. His mistress found him one day
lying there, sleepily patting the keys
with his paws and evidently listening
with pleasure to the sounds which
came forth.
A little patience overcame his re-
pugnance to performing in public, and
