New York, Aug. 3O.-Tossing on a
cot I'm Flower hospital, with a police
man sitting near to arrest her as soon
as she Is able TO be moved, is a young
girl whose attempted suicide late last
night In the fashionable Hotel Astor
has resulted In one OF the deepest
mysteries of the metropolis. Her
identity Is unknown. Her clothing
was of most fashionable cut and ex-
cellent texture while her features bear
evidence of refinement. Every mark
that might have served to identify
her had been carefully removed from
her clothing and. since she was taken
into the hospital she has steadily re-
fused to speak one word about her
seif' although she has piteously plead
ed with doctors and nurses to let her
die.
Unless there are some unforeseen
developments she will get we'll The

removed later on.
The girl who Is n blonde, appar-
entity not more than twenty-fl five years
old, walked into the Astor about mid
night passed straight through the
crowded corridor and on into the
ladies' room. A white-aproned maid
stepped forward to relieve her of the
long blue silk opera wrap that was
suspended from her shoulders but was
ignored. Passing across the room.
the visitor drew a revolver from the
iolds OF her skirt, pressed IL to her
bosom and fired. She staggered back
ana fell on the floor and, as the maid
raised her head she whispered:
u did 1t myself; now L want to
die"
Later In the morning DR.. Hughes
who Is In charge of the case, stated
that there were symptoms of>peditoni-
tbs and that the girl was in a grave
condition A man, accompanied by
TWO women, came to the hospital
shortly before noon and asked to see
the girl. They said that they believ-
ed they might know her but she was
In too serious a state to be disturbed
and they left. Neither the man nor
the women would discuss the case nor
would they say who they thought the
girl was. They are believed to be
theatrical people.
On one of the girls skirts was
found label of Hetherington. London
a we'll known British costume manu-
facturer. When they found that they
could not identify the girl, the police
decided to give out the other two
letters The first. addressed to "Dear
Blanche" read as follows:

HORACE'S SABINE FARM.
The Spot in Valley of the Licenza
Made Famous by the Poet.

From the Illustrated London News.
A few verses written 1900 years ago
have made the little valley of the Licenza
one of the most famous places within
easy reach of Rome. Had Macenas been
less generous a patron, had he never
given the Sabine farm to Horace. had
Horace never told the world and his
friends how his days there were spent,
few would now make the classical eX-
cursion into the Sabine hills. though time
has not marred their beauty.
The villa of Horace has disappeared,
to the Joy of scholars and psychologists,
who. as it is, can go on arguing indefi-
nitely over it's exact site. But the narrow
valley, the stream running through 1t and
the inclosing hills are as Horace left
them, and as lovely.
Now, as In his day, If you go from Rome
to Tivoli, and from Tivoli to Vicovaro.
and here turn up the valley of the Ii
cenza and wander on by road-as you
must, for there is no railway-you will
come. some few miles further, to a great
rock that springs abruptly from the lower
slopes and tits over them at melo-
dramatic angle.
This is 1.-The citadel Horace had to
scale" to reach his house, and it mar IS
the boundaries of the farm. The only
difference is that the little brown villa Sc
of RoccagiOvine rises on top, where of
old stood the Temple of Vacuna. already
In ruins when Horace sat. under its
shadow to write to his friend in Rome.
The little village has done its best to
meet its classical responsibilities. and has
given the name of the temple to its
piazza.
Here still are the olives that pay the
Sabine farmer best. and the wines that
yield the rough little Sabine wine that
Horace has made more renowned than
many rarer vintage: here are the hills
where he wandered, and the woods that
gave acOrns to his f1ocks and dense shade
to him; here the silence and the peace,
and the fresh wind blowing from the
mountains, and here the babDling spring
and the banks upon which he rested in
the cool grass during the hours he count
ed his happiest; the Bandusan spring to
which he promised immortality in his
song.
And as he promised so he gave Not
merely the spring, but all that vast es-
tate. which the>satirists Of his time would
have had men believe was but "a lizard
hole" he has made immortal

Guide Posts for Death Valley.
From the New York Sun


Prospectors for gold are stiIl trying
their luck in Death valley. graveyard OF
unnumbered victims. Emigrants moving
from Nevada brave its dangers to make a
short cut into Inyo county, Cal. and
often leave their bones in the desert. For
the tenderfoot Death valley has an ire
sistible fascination as seen in mirage
from the lofty submits of the Panamints
or the Funeral and AmargoZa mountains.
In some places 1t seems narrow enough
for a days hike across If one does not
reckon the distance from water In the
eastern ranges to camp site beyond the
Panamints. In the mirage the salt BEDS
look like expamses of refreshing waters,
and the Wretched mesquite bushes have
the allurement of groves of living green.
The last enticement is the fusion of bril-
liant colors in that treacherous landscape.
A compass and a bottle Of water seem to
be equipment enough to make the passage
even If one is a tenderfoot- But in the
furnace heat and parching atmosphere of
this most forbidding of American deserts
a full canteen is soon empty, and 1t rs a
hopeless quest to look for a water hole.
The suns rays dry up the brain in a
man. and staggering on in his delirium
he takes no reckoning with his compass.
Yet the old guides know where to find
water such as it IS. There are several
well known holes-Saratoga Springs in
the south. Surveyors Spring in the north.
Furnace creek. which flows down lin the
spring. from the Funeral Range and Ben
nett Wells under the Panamints.
But the romance of Death valley is now
to be a memory, and the perils are to be
so diminished that even the tenderfoot
should feel secure in entering the old
desert graveyard. The. last California
legislature appropriated 5000 for guide
posts to be erected in the state deserts,
which are often Jumped together under
the name Of the California desert. AS a
place of many tragedies Death valley
ought to have claimed the attention Of
the authorities first, especially as the
notion persists that there are rich gold
bearing strata within it's limits.
