the MYSTERY OF

Are you Inspector Peace. sir?"

Are you inspector Feace, Sir!
He looked what he was, garden
er's boy, and he stood on the platform
of Richmond station regarding US
with solemn, if cherubic. counte
nance. The little inspector nodded
his head as he felt In his pocket for
the tickets
Il have cab waiting for you. sir. "
Are you from the Elms?"
Yes, sir. Miss Sherrick sent me
to meet you, having heard as you
were coming"
We walked up the steps to the road

the boy on the box. dragged our way
up the steep of the narrow street,
past the Star and Garter (the hostelry
of ancient glores). and so for a mile

the gate and stood confronting US.
She was tall and graceful crea-

fear in her blue eyes. fear that wild
ened and fixed them: and a tremor
of the full red lips that told of great
calamity.

For answer she led the way through

rant of knowledge on the subject of travel and the
value of foreign environments. This artist, seer
and savant knows the world it is known to few
men of thought. He was still a youth when he
began his wanderings. They first made him ac-
quainted with America. At time when railways
unknown there he had travelled through
every State and Territory of the Mississippi.
Brought to this country when six months old. he
passed his childhood in a log house on the Illinois
prairies. In 1858 he heard the last Lincoln
Douglas debate, and at the outbreak of the Civil
War was page to General Fremont in St. Louis.
There he felt and absorbed all the portents of up
heaval, change, and rebirth which stirred in the
psychic atmosphere Of the Lincoln period, an
atmosphere years later to be reproduced with clair
voyant truth in his Valley of Shadows
At twenty, having discovered in himself
explained power of spontaneous creation at the
piano without technical knowledge of music, he
went to Paris, arriving there in 1869 without
money, friends, or letters of introduction. In
that capital of thought and art the strangely
gifted youth challenged the immediate and wonder

and members of the French Academy. The elder

they can assimilate or take

chase with hard cash.
Of all the silly excuses for 60
ing to live in Europe that of
climatic conditions is the sill
liest. Europe, as a matter of
fact, hasno equable climate any
where. The climate of England
is exceedingly changeable, and
twenty degrees more humid
than that of the United States;
that of Paris is hardly more
agreeable than that of London.
The far-famed climate of Nice
is greatly overrated, and can
not compare with certain To-
calities in different parts of
America. The climate of Ger
many is trying because of its
variability and humidity; that
of Austria is still more trying;
and the worst week I ever spent
in my life was at Florence in
April. The United States offers
many places with a better eli
mate than any to be found in
Italy.
Let US consider what writer's
and artists call local atmos-
phere. A great deal of this So
called atmosphere is an illusion
in the minds eye. The much
advertised Latin Quarter of
Paris is one of the most de-
pressing places in the world.
Its history is one long wall of
disillusioned lives, and its
actual influence on the mind of
the student is negative when
not actually demoralizing. The
atmosphere of the Partisan
boulevard is still worse. 1t
would be impossible to compute
the moral and intellectual
wrecks caused by the atnos-
phere of boulevard cafe. In
Paris the foreigner seems always
waiting for something to hap
pen. This is not at all surpris-
ing, since that is what the
French who haunt the boule-
wards wait for every day. 1t

L been called by more than
one noted contemporary the
most romantic personality of
his time. His highly in
dividual temperament and
powers take unique interest
from both the remarkable
career which developed them
and the battling sources of
their authority. His genius
remains an enigma after a
lifetime passed in the strong
light of cosmopolitan travel
and creative activity in two
arts,-those of literature
and musical improvisation.
Though he has been only a
short time in the United
States after an absence of
many years. his personality
and ideas are already COM
rnanding the larger interest
of cultured minds in all parts

loSISSo.
Gradually the fashion spread.
At first it was only the rich
who found time to go abroad;
then the custom expanded to
the well-to-do, and little by
little it attainted all classes, TN
til now it has assumed the form
of psychological obsession.
With many Americans Europe
is now a passion, like the passion
for strong drink. 1t is some
thing that works in the blood,
in the imagination, on the
nerves. 1t has attainted all
classes, from the smart set to
the poorest clerks. Europe is
not something to be seen once:
it has become, like the picture
shows, an exhibition to be wit
messed any time, at any season,
according to the whim or the
feeling of the moment. The
mania is to move and to see and
to keep on moving. Motion has
taken precedence of mind, and
sensation has usurped the place
of study.
MANY go to Europe with
" out any clear notion of
why they go. They drift about
with the wind, now here, now
there, till they get caught in a
current that blows them home
ward. Others go with a fixed
intention to see certain things,
and their minds are made up
to be amazed and fascinated
from the first. Such persons
are usually the victims of their
own imagination or self-sugges-
ton. Others go because they
think the very atmosphere of
Europe contains magical ele-
ment which they can carry away
with them, like potatoes or
foreign coins, or medieval brio
a-brac. Others have a vague
notion that by frequenting GER
tain salons and mingling with
certain groups in certain capi-
tails they can by some ho-
cuspocus of the mind assume
