EUGENE WALTERS TALISMAN FROM
 FRITzI SCHEFF
Dramatist of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" Prizes
 it Highly

Eugene Waiter the dramatist, has a talfsman which was sent to him by Mrs. John Fox, Jr., who in public life is F'ritzi Scheff, the dainty conedienne and which is used in The Trail of the Lonesome Pine'' which comes to the Park theatre Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, with Wednesday mati- nee. John Fox first drew attention to these fairy stones in the pages of his book and Eugene Walter eook the stone, which has the form of cross, and aptly uses it as the symbol of love
 When seeking atmosphere for his play, MT. Walter made 1t his busin ess to visit the region where the trail winds, and he learned much from the native mountaineers regarding the Virginia where the stones are found were once possessed by old King Pow hatan. and he and his Indians endowed the stones with certain mysticism eyes Of the Braves who were entitled to wear them. It is strange that in have considered the little curiosities as being enb1ematfc of love and affec- ton, for in his language there was no word for love, in fact 1t is only in the last hundred years that the mis- sionaries inserted one. The rough passion of a savage may, however, con- trast favorably with any cold calcula- ton which, like the enchanted horde of talismane Of the Niebe1ungs, is all most sure to bring misfortune. Not so with the medicine the Indian attri- buted to the fairy stone.
 One of their legends was that hun dreds of years ago when all the world was young, a. stranger arrived among the people then living in that section and told many strange tales of another world beyond the seas. Among the tales he told was that of Christ's Cru cifixfon and when the people who were all good and had never sinned. heard the sad story, they wept, and the tears, as they fell upon the ground, turned into little pebbles and that diana had many other legends regard ing the origin of the crosses and the early missionaries. some of whom came from Finland were wont to re- ally the story of the divine myth. I1marnnean, who forged a bride of gold and silver for Wainamoinen who was pleased at first to have so rich a bride. but soon found her tntolerably cold, for in spite of fires to warm her whenever he touched her, she froze him.
 This epic. the Indians made to fit their conception of the great spirit who dwelt in the towering pines and when they had heard of the form of endeavored to make miniature of the cross out of Hints and baked clay and that for succeeding generations prob ably covering five or six hundred years ly ceremonial each brought a stone cross and threw it on the site of the ceremonial sacrifice. Scientists say that the peculiar shape of the stone is cruciform "'twyning' as it s called, in which the prisInatic crystals pene- trate one another at various angles name is derived from the Greek word, tsStauros'' meaning a cross.
