SAVING THE VENUS OF MILO
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Guard Art Treasure lmpos-
sibIe to Replace.

When, during the war OF 1870, the
German army drew near the French
capital, one OF the first measures the
Parisians took was to place the art
treasures of the Louvre in safety. The
paintings of Raphael. Titan, Paolo.
Veronese, Rembrandt and Rubens
were carefully packed and shipped to
Brest. There they could, if necessary.
be put on shipboard and taken from
the country.
1t was not so easy to save the pieces
OF marble statuary, for their weight
and fragility made them difficult to
handle: but the French determined
that the famous Venus of Milo. at
least, should not fall into the hands
Of the Prussians.
So they took her down from her ped
estal and laid her in casket carefully
padded and wrapped. At night the
casket was taken out through secret
door and hidden secretly in the cellar
OF the police prefecture, at the end
Of certain passageway.
They walled in the casket and clev-
erly gave the wall an appearance Of

den there. In front Of the papers they
built another wall. Here the Venus
Of Milo remained. much to the distress
Of those patriotic Parisians who did
not know where she was and supposed
that she had been stolen, through the
siege Of the city by the Germans and
through the disorders of the commune.
One day the prefecture caught fire
and was pretty completely destroyed.
The distress OF those who knew that
the Venus was concealed there can
be imagined AS soon as the fire was
extinguished they fastened to the sink
ing ruins and after some digging
found the casket, buried In heaps Of
dirt and stones, buttuninjured.

Soon after dark the attack began
Flashes from gun mouths and glow
ing sheets of flame from rifles made
ugly revelry. while the beams OF
search-lights swept hither and thither
night, when it died down and, where
hell's concert had ragged, silent dark
ness shrouded the hills. Marta knew
that Bordir was taken without having
to ask Lanstron or wait for confirma-
ton from Westerling.
She was seated in the recess of the
arbor the next morning. when she
heard the approach OF those regular,
powerful steps whose character had
become as distinct to her as those
