TRAvELETTE
ny NIKsAH.
Bussaco.

This bit Of a Portuguese town is in a
forest a thousand years old. declared
sacred by medieval Christian orders,
chosen as a home by a later king and
finally desecrated by having its palace
turned into a hotel to accommodate
tho tourist travel and its wonderful
groves trayersed by auto roads.
Away back In the eleventh century
this grove was declared sacred, there
by becoming the resort Of saints and
sinners. the former to pray, the latter
to seek sanctuary, for here all crimi-
nails were safe.
1t was the duty of monks to bring
from all parts of the world strange
forest. and tho result was perhaps tho
most wonderful artificial wood In the
world. Here the trees of the temperate
and mi-tropioal regions are found in
Cedars Of Lebanon. oranges. lemons and
figs. cork trees and palms, oaks Of
mighty spread and pines lifting above
them all grow side by side in this in
comparable forest.
Threading among the trees are mar
row paths which will bring you sud
denly. upon white marble shrines ap
preached by long stone stairways built
In the forested hillsides. and upon the
tiny cells where the monks lived. with
the stone cups for aims set in the win
COWS ana the tiny stone TOOInS WIN
faint frescoes OF the Christ upon their
walls.
Perhaps the most beautiful of the
shrines is that set on the top of the
highest hill. reached by $50 great stone
steps. From the foot of the shrine
pours a brook that rushes down a mar
row channel in the very center of the
great stairway. forming broad pool
set with palms and ferns and messy
marble seats at each landing place. The
forest arches over this ancient stair
way so that the light filters through
pale green. and there is no sound but
the voice Of the water One who comes
there cannot but think how for CEN
turtles the patient monks toiled to form
this sacred grove, planting trees that
took hundreds of years TO mature.
building and decorating their shrines
with endless labor; how their ways
seemed as permanent as the race itself:
and how they have passed away as has
tho kingdom that succeeded them.
The most striking evidence of time
and change of all. perhaps. is the sign
at one of the entrances to the grove
which tells in faded Latin that by order
of the Pope no woman shall enter here.
But women Of all sorts enter now
vapid. chattering tourist women from
ali the lands of the earth and none of
them even pauses to read the words
that so long barred their seq from the
sacred grove.

HIS CAR PASSING THEM
had known what Bemis was before she
married him. She had rejected four
perfectly good young men for him. Did
she deserve pity?
-Four young men! The other three
were still about town, doing tolerably
well. holding down twenty dollar week
positions or thereabouts. None OF them
was as well to do as Strang, who owned
like Strang. preferred his bachelorhood.
Then came the word that she and her hus-
hand were coming home to make little
visit to the old town. and would arrive on
the boat this morning.
Strang polished his car until 1t shone
like new and went over 1t thoroughly.
He could have no accidents. no engine
trouble before them. He drove down
to the dock and parked the car in the
most conspicuous place-where the
pass on their way to board tho street
cars.
The boat was due in quarter of an
hour. and Strang sat in his car patient
ly waiting-his mind dwelling con-
tinually upon the scene presently to be
enacted. He would show her what she
had missed in not taking him!
A small sized crowd was accommodating
to meet the boat and friends on her,
and Strang smiled when he spied Jim
ME Jafret In IT, Jarfet was the other
suitor who had retained his bachelor
hood, and was now pushing his way
forward apparently to gain a place Of
vantage on the pier. Strang smiled.
Well, Jarret. too. had made good in
life. Perhaps 1t was all the better that
she should see first Jarret and then
himself.
Presently came the deep grumble of
the boats whistle and behind some
trees In the bend of the river some
smoke belched upward. Five minutes
more and she hove into sight and in

was as big as the town itself!
1t glittered and shone like thousands
of gems. A chauffeur in livery drove It.
Behind the tonneau sat two people.

down in his seat. like a dying flower

another fve she had doclred and the
people were pouring from her.
Strang leaned forward scanning the
faces eagerly. There was a good sized
crowd aboard, and he was kept busy
trying not to miss any countenance in
the thronE. Past his car they came in
ones, twos and threes. But he caught
no sight of Bemis' familiar figure. nor
that Of his wife. Soon the crowd Of
passengers thinned down to a few
stragglers. and Strang decided that they
could not have come. Then he saw q
