rich patrons to purchase It, but all of these
he declined to consider as he knew it's
history and its value. 1t remained in posi-
ton over the hotel entrance until tho
breaking out Of the civil war when It met
an unhappy fate. A large number of
Union soldiers were encamped near the
springs, and the spirit Of having q little
run occupied good portion of their
camp life. One day a crowd of the boys in
olue declared that they would take down
the lady in scant rament." With q
strong rope the head of the valuable sculp-
ture was lassoed and with Now, boys,
all together" the statue was toppled over
and fell to the hard stone pavement break
Ing or the head, arms, a portion of tho
drapery and otherwise injuring it. Not
satisfied with this the soldiers carried II to
the large lawn and set 1t in position as a
target for rife practice, hundreds of balls
being fired against 1t. To this day tho
once beautiful sculpture shows where the
leaden missiles married its smooth surface.
Ihe thought is not pleasant when for GEN.
turtles and centuries this work of art had
been exposed to ruthless and heartless
murderers and pillagers and had been
sarely brought across the seas It was
to meet this fate in this fair land Of
boosted Christian civilization. When the
war closed DR.. Boyle had the defaced and
broken statue boxed and shipped to WASH
ngton, where 1t again became the property
or his brother, Commodore Boyle. Mr..
flannery, the sculptor. was on terms of
friendshop with Commodore Boyle ana
succeeded in getting possession of the
statue, having 1t removed to the shady
YARD which surrounds his studio.
A number Of wealthy gentlemen and adj
mirers of art have endeavored to negotiate
with MIR. Flannery for the purchase of the
statue. but not being anxious to dispose
OF 1t satisfactory price has never been
agreed upon.

When. in response to Mrs. Randolph's
request she began to sing. I discovered
that she had q contralto voice of much
sweetness and strength. Benson lowered
over her, turning the sheets of the music.
Now and then they had their heads to-
gether. and fancied that they were speak

whispered conversation with Benson, Miss
Marlborough began to sing one Of the old
songs. Mrs. Randolph's hands frightened on
mine with nervous clutch:

and now there were real tears in her eyes.

and Jack Benson. For the moment

seemed. Mrs. Randolph believed that l was
her husband. Julian Randolph, returned to
her; death had relented and given back her
dead. deep pity struggled with my self
contempt. And she was young and so
beautiful; I longed to take her in my
arms, fold her tightly to my breast and
tell her that though I was not her husband
already loved her more than her hus-
band ever could have loved her, and that
had even registered a VOW to make her
my wife. Such was the effect on me of her
beauty and her distress.

RANGE OF THE NIGHTINGALE.
Countries in Which It Nests and Sec
tons Which It Avoids,
From the Outlook.


The idea Of the nightingale being a mel
ancholy bird might have originated in the
classical myth-the not-was, If we may
borrow the literal translation Of the Rus
sian word for legend. For Philomela, the
nightingale Of the Greeks, was once a
human maiden who had known the depths
OF sorrow. And to them the bird was still
lamenting the woes Of the girl, whose
tongue had been cruelty cut out.
The erratic distribution of the night
ingale is curious and interesting problem
In bird life. No other bird in the British
Isles is SO remarkably restricted In its
range. The "delectable Duchy" does not
attract 1t; 1T does not visit the Emerald
Isle: the land Of brow heath and shaggy
wood" has no charms for it; only one spot
in gallant little Wales. the neighborhood
Of Cowbridge, is honored with its visits
And in England only on the east side Of a
line drawn from the mouth Of the Tees
to the coast Of Dorset does it find its
fasttdious taste suited.
And in France 1t avoids the western
part; rocky Brittany knows 1t not Manv
years ago Sir John Sinclair endeayored to
induce the nightingale to extend It's sum
mer range to Caledonia stern and Wild"
His attempt was founded on the we'll
known fact that migratory birds return to
the spot where they Were reared. Orders
were given to London dealer for as MANY
nightingales' eggs as he could produce
at the rate Of one shilling each. These
were dispatched to Scotland and placed in
robins nests, where they were duiv
Matched and reared. But they never re-,
turned to Scotland after their autumn
migration.
In Europe the nightingale goes as far
north as Copenhagen. The reason for this
curiously restricted range Is not knowrr
But without wishing to PROFOUND any
theory. we may note curious coincidence
between the geological structure of the
country and the distribution of the bird
for the line mentioned as marking the
range Of the nightingale separates the older
from the younger rock systems West of
this line. where the nightingale is not
found, are the carboniferous and still
older rocks; east of 1t, where the nightin-
gale occurs, are the trtassic and still
younger rocks. And the little area in
Wales honored by the nightingale's pres
ence is an island of younger rocks among
Wales more ancient strata. For some
reason the nightingale would appear to
prefer younger rocks
Attempts have been made from time to
time since the days of Aristophanes to ex-
press the nightingale's song in syllables. to
impose on its thrilling music the harsh
captivity Of words" But Prof Newton
says, the song is indescribable.

Statue Well Knowni in Wash
ington Once Greek Original

- NE Of the most valuable and remark
able statues in Washington is owned
by Mr.. Lot Flannery. the we'll
known sculptor. whose studio is on B
street, west side Of the Capitol grounds.
For many years this ancient production
Of the sculptor's art has stood Immediately
opposite the entrance TO Mr.. Flannery's
studio and 1t has been the subject Of
anxious and curious inquiry from thou
sands, citizens and visitors Headless, arm
less, broken and defaced, the statue still
gives evidence Of the wonderful and mas
terly skill Of the sculptors who produced
masterpieces Of works Of art before the
time of Christ, for undisputed evidence
shows that this horribly defaced statue Is
the work of ancients.
Peculiarly interesting is the history of
this statue. which to the casual observer
Is a worthless piece Of marble. Many years
ago Commodore Boyle of the United States
Navy brought the statue from Athens,
Greece. where for more than 1000 years
It had escaped the despoiling hands of the
barbarian and other invaders Of that WON
derful and ancient city. The commodore
secured an authentic history Of the work

WHAT rs THE SOIL.
Extent Of This Precious But Limited
Surface Material.


From Appleton's Magazine
If you were asked to name the
most important of mineral substances,
you would doubtless hesitate for a
moment and weigh the respective
merits Of coal, iron and the precious
metals. Only after some consideration
probably would 1t occur to you that
these highly useful substances have insig-
nifcant value as compared with that
familiar mixture Of ground-up minerals
which We call the soil
Man could make Shift to live and even
In measure to progress without glass or
cement or metals, but his very life de-
pends upon the little film OF triturated
rock that is spread over the surface of
the globe in the form of earth. The con-
stltuents of this are metamorphosad into
the substance of plants and ultimately into
the tissues of man himself.
Properly to understand the matter how
ever. It must be comprehended that the
soil is no important part of the earth's
structure. except from a strictly human
standpoint. AT best 1t is only little film
Of material frayed off from the Jacket
called the earth's crust. To a giant OF
such size that the earth We're to him what
an apple Is to US the soil would be no more
than the bloom on the peach.
With his handkerchief he could wipe off
the films of water that we call oceans, like
SO much dew and polish off the soil as we

to remove an infinitesimal shell, and the
total bulk of air and oceans aggregates

oceans cover three-ffths of the earth's
surface and. as measured in human terms,

Of art and valued 1t as one of his treasures
gathered in his travels. He kept the statue
for several years and then presented It to
his brother, DR.. Boyle. one of the men who
made White Sulphur Springs Va, famous
as watering resort for the wealthy peo-
pie of the United States
The statue, then unbroken and beautiful
was securely placed over the main entrance
to the large hotel which was owned and
managed by DR.. Boyle. Having for untold
generations doubtless originally graced the
front Of some Greek temple, 1t now looked
down season after season on the modern
social gayety of a popular American resort.
DR.. Boyle received numerous offers from
