pressed satisfaction with his deed.
Time and again. the saloonkeeper,

De, idson, and Through a Legend OF
Provence" by Adelaide Anne Proctor.
Both are based on a medieval le-
geEd. but Maeterlinck went to the
original Dutch version for his tale.
The story opens with a scene In the
convent near Louvain, the time be-
ing the thirteenth century. Sister
Beatrice, one of the nuns, is shown be-
seeching q statue OF the Virgin Mary
To tell her, either by sign or word
whether her great love for Prince
Be'lider Is holy, and whether this
great love would justify her In leav-
ing the convent and marrying him.
During this episode, Prince Bellider,
clad in armor and accompanied by a
servant and a page, arrives, and when
the nun receives no sign from the
Virgin she departs with her lover. AS
she leaves the convent the statue OF
the Virgin descends from its pedestal
on the altar and, In the flesh and
blood, takes up the duties OF Sister
Beatrice, for whom she is mistaken
by the nuns. The abbess enters. and
noting the disappearance OF the statue
OF the Virgin, accuses Beatrice VI
making away with 1t. The sisters
attempt to fog Beatrice with their
girdles and a great white light illum-
ines the convent Their girdles
and STATS are turned TO gar
lands OF flowers. The Virgin assumes
the place of the sister, and after 20
years Beatrice returns to the convent

foot of the pedestal and the Virgin
assumes her old place in the shrine.
The sisters refuse to believe that she

amount OF fruit would not justify the

AS the damage to his fruits came
principally from insects, he determined
to get after them. In one corner Of
the grounds was sweet pea trench

that grew and blossomed profusely
Every other trench Of sweet peas IN
