Strangely enough, now the face was visible, we felt no fear, so hushed, so exquisite was the entrancing beauty disclosed and for long we sat talking in whispers over the marvellous thing which had happened.
 When I left the studio, Foulard came with me to my rooms, for the sake of company; it would never have done for him to be alone-he looked i'll with the shock and the excitement; and we agreed to lock the room dcor and come again in the morning.
 Of course, my friend copied his world-famous statue of "The Song of the Siren" which made so great a sensation not long ago, from the wom- an of his dream so suddenly given to him-by what means it is impossible for us as yet to say
 On the morning when we re-entered the room q had hardly left his side), he began upon the final statue il, mar ble, and labored necessarily, almost day and night; hardly would he allow himself time to eat, and on many days I used to force him away from the half-completed figure to partake of a hurried meal with me. The woman- what else can I call her--he had stripped of all her white easement of chalk. She had been partially robed by a fibrous garment thrown across her bosom and dropping to her feet, made apparently of some peculiar cloth that crackled when touched. And, day after day, week after week, she stood there while he worked ar dently, passionately, at this labor Of love
 At last it was ended, and with many a hope, many a fear, the reverent in ishing touches were added It is need less to describe the statue as 1t stands in the hall of sweet sounds; evGty- one knows of it, how that more thao one has said that it has a soul; 0cw that great musician has made it dOub- ly immortal by a composition directly inspired by it. Foulard was famous, and urgent commissions poured in upon him from all sides.
 But-the woman? Was she dead, or was she alive in some marvellous sc cret way unknown to modern scien' tists. as the Indian fakirs are sup posed to have the power of suspend ing animation for months or years to- gether? How long had she been in her cerement of chalk-years? Hun dreds. thousands of years? All thesi and many more questions We dis cussed and then, not knowing what else 70 do-for it was impossible to keep the exquisite form in my friends studio, or, in fact, il seemed anywhere else-we called in a mutual friend the curator of the Cranston Museum "a man of some skill in medicine and ancient lore. After his first utter of surprise and ircredulity, he ventured many hypotheses, both plausible and futile; and then in order to preserve more fully the secret from prong eyes, while attempting a solution, he made a tentative suggestion which we carried out In his building he had a complete suit of armor of olden times Carefully we built this round the impassive tigure, and conveyed it back to it's place in the museum.
 And of all the crowd, lord and lady, merchant and peasant, lad and lass. that come to gaze at that magnificent figure of the o'diime knight with ihs yizor down and his hand at hip, not one dreams jhat inside that bright ar nor sleeps-a woman. And whether she he alive or dead, no one knows

RULERS Of GOLF
PASS THAT RULE
Professionals in Other
Sports Declared to Be
Pros. on the Links.

NEW YORK, Feb. A-The executive
committee Of the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION has followed the lead of the
Western Golf Association by adopting a
new amateur rule, which is more string
ent than the old one, and consequently
more difficult to evade.
In future, any one who acts as a cad
ole or caddie master, after the age or
sixteen viii forfeit his amateur stand
ing.
While the new definition starts rather
tnreatcningly by declaring all who arc,
or may have been, professionals in other
branches of athletics it qualities itself
by eXempting those now rated as anna
tours. Were this not done the new rule
would be certain to work a hardship on
many prominent amateurs of the pres
ent time who in the ola days received
salaries rs professionals or semi-pro-
fesSiOnals.
