pie child living with poverty oppressed
parents in Bohemia, and his life one
long sigh TO get to Prague and be
trained to become a great musician.
Life has for him no present Joy except
the dream of what the future may
hold Some day, perhaps" his father
tells him, and the promise sings in his
mind perpetually. save only when the
refrain sinks in despair moods and he
cannot help thinking: IF some
one should say You may not go TO
Prague, 1 would fall dead" So he
does dutifully the poor boys everyday
duties that irk, and in semi-suppressed
irritation apd restlessness thinks he
may go mad, and wishes to kill some
thing or cut off his own fingers

day he will be a father just like that.
His brother bores him and his sister.
with whom he has to sleep. he detests
as lumpish thing who breathes heav-
lily and sweats. The most princely lux
ury he dreams that wealth could give
him would be to have a pillow all his
own and all to himself.
Later this pillow passion of his adol-
escent dream has a pathetic develop
ment. When, away from home. a youth
green about all things save the music
he studies, remembering how melan-
choly his father often was in the old,
poverty-smitten home, he imagines
his fathers sadness might have been
partly the same pillowless sadness of
his childhood deprivation. His dear
father never had a pillow all to him.
self. There was always woman and
a child between him and that happi-
ness" So he resolves to save the money
of a meal done without every day till
it amount to the price of bed and a
pillow to send home as present to his
beloved father.
Belonging in the middle of this pill
low story there is another pillow story
of like origin-but this is a romantic
one-a tale of the musician boys first
love-amusing, too-let us listen to the
beats of the boys heart: There is a
girl there in his class, pale, passionate,
half-sick. studious, interesting, pains
taking, having much of talent, but
more Of alteration of the tall
ents of others. Her the boy
loves without fully comprehend
ing yet what love is. His father
had told him there would be beautiful
women in the city-radiant like the
sun; but the similitude does not ap-
peal to him-he dreams that a silvery
moonlight lady would alone be lovely
in his hope of paradise. This girl is
something that way. He calls her
Twilight. The girl beholds the rising
sun of the boys talent and adores ii
and him. When she is ailing he visits
her in her room and holds her hand
He observes that she is often sad
Sympatheucally he seeks in his mind
for a possible cause; he remembers
that the worst part of his poverty
days was pillowlessness, the greatest
luxury of tightening fortune was tc

and she was roughly borne away on
the long ride to the picturesque island
stronghold. Lochleven Castle, there TO
be Scotland's captive, we venture to
say that hour is the supreme crisis Of
her life. 1t was then thai the crash
came. the falling into irrevocable ca
tastrophe of all the hopes and eX-
pectations that a woman once crown
ed and throned both over material
kingdom and the empire of mems ad-
iniration might have held treasuredly
IN her heart. After that the tragedy
of her life but descends slowly like
the music of tolling bells through the
misery and repentance of long i'm
prisonment to the time of her laying
her fair face on the headsman's block.
So in that momentous journey from
Holyrood Palace to Lochleven Castle
we see Mary pass from the heaven of
life's hope TO the hell of life's de-
spair, and as the beauty of those two
famous places stamps them upon the
memory Of their pictured semblances,
imagination goes back and watches
Mary pass from her palace to her
prison and inwardly we weep for all
the wsil-stun that was woven into her
life, pray for the wiping away of all
sin with which she may have stained
her soul.
1t is with the summons to leave
Holyrood Palace and hastily prepare to
start for Lochleven Castle-with the
closing of her palace door, that Hew-
lett's book closes. In a last scene he
shows US how Mary realized when too
late that the boy lover, who gave up
his life for her in fighting to save
the discriminating casket which con-
tanned the records of her guilty pas
sion for Boutwell,, had in his heart
what might have been one of the most
precious treasures of her life. He tells
dramatically of how her love for
Boutwell, misspent itself, and of how,
when her desire was dead, she re-
fused his kiss, saying, your lips are
fOul-you have kissed too many" But
before this he tells in his own mas
terful way of how this man had fas-
cinated her. She is in the sick room
with her husband, Darnley. She had
learned to loathe him for his mind
and morals, and now she loathes him
fully because his body has become
foul to fit the spirit that dwelt in it.
She is writing a letter in this sick
room. She plays passionately with a
crucifix, and mixes the alteration of it
with the damning of this letter, which
is a love one to Boutwell,
But listen to her own words, and to
those of Hewlett's comment: "Once,
after a frenzy of penmanship, she
held out her hands to it (the crucifx)
In protest; then reverently took it up
and kissed it, to sanctify so the words
she was writing: The good year send
US that God knit us together forever
for the most faithful couple that ever
he did knit together Paris (Both-
wells servant) knew very well to
whom she wrote so fully, who was to
read this stained. passionate letter, i'll
scrawled on scraps of old paper,
scored with guilt, blotted with shame
full tears, loving, repentant, willful,
petulant, unspeakably loyal and ten
der, all by turns" That is Mary in a
paragraph.
