Baumgardt Lecture.

Tonight at the Belasco at $50 o'clock.
Mr.. B. r. Baumgardt will entertain his
audience with his lecture on Athens. In
addition to a most interesting discourse
on this ancient Grecian city, and which
is seldom included in a lecture series,
there will be shown upwards OF 100 beau
tiful views in color.
When we stand on the Acropolis at
Athens, surrounded by the gigantic relics
of a byGone civilization. our thoughts are
irresistibly directed to the golden age Of
Pericles. that high epoch in the function
Of the human intellect. when in almost
every branch of art and knowledge. it
well-nigh reached perfection. We may
well ask what II was that caused all this
intellectual abundance among the Greeks
a nation of relatively insignificant num-
bers. Why, in the short span of a few
generations. should they have been able
to conceive ideals in art and thought.
after which other peoples have been
struggling in vain? For. put their hands
and minds at what they would. the
Greeks almost inevitably produced per-
fection.
Mr. Baumgardt in his Athens lecture
as in others, gives the closest attention
to interesting details which in his unique
style are so ably marshalled that the lee
ture becomes fascinating in the highest
sense and inspiration.

I-THE HUNTEp MAN.
ccoD0Tirht. i'it BY Louis Joseph vanos)

ccouSr4sht 1914 by Louis Joseph vanes)
That day was hot and windless with an uncioud-
% sky-a day OF brass and burning
Long before any sound audible to human ears
dssturbed the MONDAY hush, bobcat summing on q
log in glade to which trail led, pricked ears,
Foeo, glanced over shoulder with snarl and-of a
Budden was more there.
Perhaps two minutes later succession Of re-
mote orashings began TO be heard a cumulative
volume OF sound made by some heavy body forcing
By main strength through the underbrush and
ceased only when a man broke into the clearing,
pulled up. stood for instant swaying, then reeed
70 sest on the log, plowing his head arms
folded across his knees and shuddering uncon-
rollgbly In all his limbs
But even he strove to calm himself and
rest, the feehng that something was peering at him
from behind mask Of underground grew intoer
ably acute
AT length he jumped up. glared wildly at the spot
where that something no longer was, flung himself
frantically through the brush in pursuit Of IT, and
found nothing.
with great effort he pulled himself together
clamped his teeth upon the promise not again to
give way to hallucnations, and turned back to the
clearing
There upon the log on which he had rested, he
found-but refused to believe he saw-a playing
card, q Trey Of Hearts. face up in the sunglare.
with gesture Of horror, Alan Law fed the
place
While the sounds Of his flight were stin loud,

up and pocketed the card. and set out in tireless

Alan caught from the hollow its farther side

The shelving moss-beds Afforded treacherous
footing: Alan glad now and then OF the sup

long pace within sight Of the caves Of a clif-and
precisely then the hillside seemed TO slip from
under him.
He instantaneously aware OF the sun
molten ball wheeling madly in the cup Of the tur-

He came up struggling and gasping and struck

Within stroke Of outstretched paddle he
nung up a hand and went down again
Instantly one occupant Of the canoe. a young
and very beautiful woman in mans hunting

IF you will permit me to say so-now that one

appointment In order to-ah-take the further lib
erty OF asking whether you have recently sent Alan
a message?"
Her look Of surprise answer enough but she
confirmed It with vigorous denial: Il have not
communicated with Mr.. Law in more than yearl"
Precisely as / thought" Mr.. Digby nodded.
None the less, Mr. Law not long since received
what purported to be message from you: in fact
IA rose" And Miss Trine sat forward with
start Of dismay, he added q have the information
over Mr. Laws Signature letter received ten
days ago-from Quebec"
ALLAN in Americal" the girl cried in undisguised
distress.
He came in response to-ah-the message Of
the rose"
But ! did not send it!~
Il felt sure Of that, because" said Mr. Digby
watching her narrowy-"because Of something
that accompanied the rose a symbol Of another sig
nihcance altogether-a playing card Trey Of
Hearts"
Her eyes were blank He pursued with openly
sincere reluctance: Il must tell you I see, that
Trey Of Hearts invariably foresignaled an attempt
by your father on the life Of Alan's father"
With a stricken cry the girl crouched back in
the chair and covered her face with her hands
That is why I sent for YOU" Mr. Dgby pursued
hastily If in hope of getting quickly over a
most unhappy business. "Alan's letter. written and
posted on the steamer, reached within twenty
four hours of his arrival in Quebec and detailed his
scheme to enter the United States secretly-as he
puts IT, by the back door, by way Of northern
Maine-and promised advice by telegraph as soon
as he reached Moosehead Lake. He should have

the country he to cross. Frankly. l am anxious

fortunes.
Precisely at eleven minutes past (or at the
identical instant chosen by Alan Law to catapult
over the edge OF a cliff in northern Maine) the
muted signal OF the little mans desk telephone
clicked and eagerly lifting receiver TO ear he nod
ded with smile and said in accents OF some relief:
Ask her 20 come In at once, please"
Jumping up, he placed chair in intimate juxta-
position with his own and the door opened. and
young entered.
The mouse-brown man bowed Miss Rose Trine7"
he murmured with a great deal Of Difference.
The young woman returned his bow with a show
Of perplexity: "Mr DigbyF
You are kind to come in response TO my-ah-
unconventional invitation" said the little man.
Wont you-ah-sit down."
She said Thank you" gravely, and took the
chair he indicated And Mr. Dgby with an admira-
ton he made effort to conceal, examined the
fair young face turned so candidly to him.

You tell nothing?"
"Nothing-as yet did not dream OF this-much
less that the message Of the was known to
any but Alan and myself cannot understand
Then l may tell you this much more that your
father maintains a very efficient corps Of secret
agents"
You think he spied upon me?" the girl famed
with indignation.
Il know he did" Mr.. Digby permitted himself
quiet smile. 1T has seemed my business In the
service of my employer, to employ agents Of my
own. There is no doubt but that your father sent
you to Europe for the sole purpose Of having you
meet Alan"

claw Of bird of prey, moved toward a row Of but
tons sunk in the writng-bed OF his desk

With a quick movement the girl bent over and
prisoned the bony wrist in her strong fingers. With
her other hand, at the same time she whipped
open upper drawer OF the desk and took from 1t
q revolver which she placed at a safe distance.

chair, she moved 1t some distance from the desk

For a moment he watched in silence as she bent
the desk, rummaging its drawers. Then with
infuriated gesture Of his left hand, he began to
curse her
She shuddered a little as the black oaths blis-
tered his thin old lips, dedicatng her and all she

nLrnn HAUNTING woMAr.

He experienced a little fever. a little delirium
then blank slumbers Of exhaustion.
He Rwoke In dark Of night, wholly unaware that
fhirty-six hours had passed since hia fall This
last however, and events that had gone before, he
recalled with tolerable cleaness-allowing for the
siuggiHhness OF a drowsy mind. Other memories,
more vague. Of gentle mfnistering hands, Of a face
by turns an angels, a flowers hends, and a
dear womans, troubled him even less materially
He was already sane enough to allow he had prob.

he had been saved and cared for, he found no rea.
son to quarrel with present circumstances.
Stiil he would have been grateful for some ex-
planation OF certain phenomena which stir haunted
him-such as faint, elusive scent OF roses with
vague but importunate sense OF a woman's pres
ence in that darkened room-things manifesty

Or rather whispered: "Waterl"
In response he heard someone move over

shirt and skirt. Water splashed noisily. Alan be-
came aware Of someone who stood at his side, one
hand offering glass to his lips, the other gently
i-ising his head that he might drink with ease.
Draining the glass he breathed his thanks and
sank back retaining his grasp the wrist OF that
unreal hand It suffered him without resistance.
The hallucnation even went so far as to say, In q
roman's soft accents:
You are better Alan2"
He sighed increduously: "Rosel"
The voice responded "Yesl" Then the perfume
Of roses grew still more strong seeming to fan his
cheek like a womans warm breath. And miracle
came to pass: for Mr.. Law who realized poignantly
that ali this was sheer, downright nonsense, dis
tinctly felt lips like velvet caress his forehead.
> He closed his eyes. tightened his grasp on that
hand OF phantasy. and muttered rather inarticu-

The voice asked: What is II, dear?"
He responded: "Delirium But like II
Let me ravel"
Then again he slept
