"Then he is captured? God be praised!'
In spite of the words, her eyes flimed
over with tears; q look of abject misery
barred itself upon her face.

him; she walked like sick woman.
He watched her pityinGly for mo-
ment then mounted the stairs AS he
! laid his hand upon the door it gave to ms
touch and he stood upon the threshold
of the parlor. Nittoria's name was upon
his lips when, by the dim evening light
which came through the drawn curtains
and by the faint illumination from the
solitary shrine candle, he saw her re-
cumbent form upon the couch.
She was lying in an attitude of COM
plete relaxation, her sun-glded hair
strayng in long. thick braids below her
waist. Those tawny ropes were of a
length and thickness to bind man about
the body. Her lips were slightly parted;
her laSheS lay like dark shadows against
her ivory cheeks.
He was swept by sudden, awed abash-
| ment. The impulse to retreat came over
him, but he lacked the will. The longing
which had remained SO strong in him
through years of denial, governing the
whole course of his life. blazed up in him
now and increased with every heart beat
He found that without willing it he had
come close to the couch. The girls slim
hand lay upon the cushions, Imply up
turned to him. it was half open, and
there sprang through him an ungovern-
able desire to bury his lips in its rosy
palm. He knelt, then quailed and re-
covered himself. At the same instant
she stirred and, to his incredulous de-
light whispered his name.
A wild eXulta:ion shot through him.
Why not yield to this madness? he asked
himself. dizZily. The long struggle was

what he had done to make himself worthy
of her. and now. at the last, he was to
have ng-absolutely nothing except
a memory. Against these thoughts his
notions of honorable conduct hastily and
confusedly arrayed themselves. But he
was in no state to reason. The same en-
chantment. half psychic. half physical.
ethereal yet strongly human. that had
mastered him in the old Sicilian days,
was at work upon him now. Dimly he
felt that so mighty and natural thing
ought not to be resisted. He stood stiff1y.
like man spellbound.

that she felt the mans nearness. or that
some influence passed from his mind to
hers However it was. she spoke his
name again, her fingers closed over his,
she drew him toward her.

and a part Of the old building is still in
tact and occupied, but II has been sadly
reduced in size and there are added parts
that are not in harmony with the original

undertaking with great historical
pageant.
The mission, like most of the others,
has a very beautiful location. 1t lies
in the foothills about fifteen miles north
of the city of San Jose. There are
charming views from the site. pictur-

many attractive hooks by the way.
Moreover. the place itself Is SO quaint
that 1t impresses the traveller like some
old world hamlet. II the desire is to

Curiosity prompted an Investigation.
One of the '.angry trees was dug up and
thrown to one side. Immediately upon
being removed from the ground it is said
that the tree opened its leaves. its twigs
lost their pigtails. and for something over
an hour and half the outraged branches
showed their Indignation by series of
uuakings, which grew weaker and weaker
and ceased when the foliage had become
limp and withered.

THINK BENARES OLDEST CITY
Sacred Spot to Hindus, Its Claim Is
Supported by Most Students OF
Indian History.

Which is the oldest city in India7
An attempt has been made to Identify
the Purana Kila at Delhi as built
on the site on which was situated the
Tndraput, mentioned in the Mahab.
harata as the capital of the five Pan
davas. That is quite possible, but In
any case Indraput disappeared long
ago. Current Indian beliefs is that
as a city Benares is absolutely the
oldest in India. SO much we do know
from history that though in past cen
turtles II rlvaled Delhi In wealth and
magniflcence, the c~onquerors left 1t
alone. There has never been a sack
of Rnares, and this is the more curl
Gus because 1t stands on one of the
highways Of commerce in India. Its
position on the Gauges would natur-
ally make 1t a big center. We know
that to Hindus, Benares or Kasl, Is
the most sacred spot on earth. and
that those who die there are forgiven
all their sins. II Is to the special in.
t~erpogtion OF Providence that Hin
dus ascribe the freedom Of Benares
from the sackings and devastation
that have been the fate Of other great
Indian cities. In any case Benares
ought to offer much good to any In
dian %antiquary. The archaeological
department has, of course, to leave II
alone. because It Is still the center
of q living Hinduism.
