Helf gazed back at him when his eyes
rested upon her marble form. She
stood on q low pedestal in the studio
In his little house In Rome where all
day he worked and worked while I'M
der his skilled and loving touch she
grew, ever more perfect. ever more
beautiful. He had toiled long and
faithfully. and lovingly too. because
success now meant 80 much to him.
Had he not starved his body for many
years that with the money thus saved
he might obtain the marble on which
to impress the fair dreams his beauty
loving soul fed upon? Had there not
dwelt with him all his life the vision
Of time when the world should
stand before his work, compelled to
admiration by the power Of his genius,
and call him great? Should acclaim

No, the wild longing that burned In
her heart, the despairing pain that
nestled there, was the bitter crying
OF a soul forever denied expression.
ITO be so prisoned, so PERSONNEL,
she wept, and her tears were tears Of
blood that fell backward upon her
heart. And one does not weep so un-
less one Is a woman. But the bitter
ness and the pain Of repression did
not drown her love, and oh, HOW she
loved him!
And one day the sculptor stood be-
fore his finished work. Beautiful IL
was and he gazed upon It with happy
eyes, dreaming Of his future when
he should have become known OF men
as It's creator. His thoughts travelled
q long way--back over the days he
had spent companioned by 1t alone,
and on to that far time, now almost
at hand, when his labor should re-
ceive Its reward. in gold and fair fame
and, last but sweetest OF all sweet
gifts, in love! For there was one

those leaves Of laurel that time nor
death could wither.
And as he dreamed, slowly beneath
his touch the awakened Psyche grew
and grew till every lovely line was
perfect and almost could one see her
bosom fiutter with the sigh OF passion
that seemed to breathe from her part
cd lips while her wide eyes Swallowed
forth her love. For the faith and ten
derness and infinite patience with
which the dreaming sculptor had sum-
moned from the insensate stone the
marvel OF her being had wrought an
other marvel that he knew not of and
she LOVED him, with q love that was
at once her happiness and her tor
ment. How her poor heart ached
and ached with the thought that
never, never could he know she loved
him. while all her desire was to tell
him so. Not that he might love her
more nor that he might caress her
with the tender love words Of mortals.

AT this dear thought he started from
his dreams and mTrmuring "She must
see It," was gone.
Again he stood before the statute,
this time not alone. With him
stood the woman who held his
heart the golden-haired angel of

He bent his head TO set lovers

met, in an ecstasy made up OF love

ChlcsEe firaln and PreAsce.

Chicago, Nay 1o.--The wheat market today ruled generally firm and higher. although there were soft spots occa- sionally. The July option was up 1-2 to 5-s at 80 to Is. Corn was 3-8 to l-2c higher at 46 Oats were 1-sc high CT. Provisions were 12 1-2c to P 1-2c higher.
 at 70 5-s to B.. There was only slight trading in the carly part of the day, traders preferring to wat for the gov erament crop report. When this had strength of the statement that crops were in better condition than last month sold the price down close to and under the close of yesterday. but the rally took place on liberal support from bulls. Later shorts covered freely and during the latter part of the session offerings became extremely light. Pit traders who had sold early in the day on the government crop report bought freely near the end of the session and forced prices to the top notch of 80 to 1-s. The chief, bultish influences were small receipts in the northwest, firm cables, some damage reports frsrn the southwest and good market for cal wheat. A factor which lent strength to the late trading was that shipments ing 2.s00.000 bushels against 3,296,000 last year. During the selling following 5 the publication of the government crop report the July option sold down to 79 3S. On the reaction which tool. place fin the final part of the session the price advanced steadily to 80 to Is. which was the high point of the day ane. where the market closed strony.
 The corn market was weak carly in the day on liberal selling of the May option by prominent comiaiscieH house When these offerings had been established there was very little on the market and shorts found 1t difficult to cover. The settlement of the lake strike. good buying of May by cash caused reaction which resulted in 2 firsn and higher closing at a gain of 3-S to 1-2 for the July option. The Liverr ool market was steady and local arrivals were 25 per cent smaller than had been expected The July option opened at 45 5-S to 3-4, sold down to 45 5-S and closed firm at 46 which was the highest point Of the day.
 Tho trading in the cats market was not large but there was good gener- al demand and offerings were limited. The market ruled firm throughout the day. The July option opened at 31 1-4 and sold up during the day to 31 3-s where it closed firm.
 The provisions market was firm all day. The run of hogs was small and prices for the live stock were 10 to 15c hIgher., There was a good general de- mand Tor shipments of all products and a scarcity of offerings Late in the day there was active covering by shorts in lard end ribs. At tue close July pork was up 20 to 22 1-2c at 15. 15 ito 15.I7 1-2. Lard was l0c higher at s.4z 12. Ribs were up i2 1-2 at .65.
