/ The harp sobbed and sighed with IN
/ spoken love and long, strange silences
/ fell between them. For months they
wandered thus, not understanding the
secret of their hearts, until one day
Tamara was claimed by the great chief
to whom her hand had been long prom
ised.
Too dutiful to refuse to obey the
commands of her father, too loving TO
be untrue to her own heart, she knew
not what to do, so going out into the
mountains she prayed TO heaven for
deIiverance, and the gods, who hear
the prayers Of those who trust, changed
her into q tall lily, with petals white
as her fair skin and golden ptstil that
shone as had her flowing tresses.
Years passed and Plini wandered
the whole world through, seeking for
his lost love. From every passer-by he
asked, Have you seen Tamara, the
fairest Of maidens?' To the wild winds
as they blew he prayed. "Oh. find for
me my love-" but no answer came
until home once more in his own coun-
try he found and knew the lily. Fall
ing on his knees beside it he cried, rs
it indeed, thee, o Tamara?" and, like
the sigh OF the soft south wind, he
heard the flower whisper, 1T is 1. my
beloved"
Then, sill his years Of fruitless search
past, he clasped the blossom to his
heart and wept, and the flower, feeling
the warm tears of love, blushed rosy
with joy. But what was life to him
when she who made the sunshine Of
his heart was gone? So the mercifuI
gods changed him to q shower, which
ever and anon falls in refreshing rain
on the lilies of the Caucasus, and when
there is g drought in the land the
maidens gather the flowers Of Tamara
and strew them over the fields, singing
as they go the song OF PIini, invoking
his love that once more he may bring
the blush OF joy to the petals of his
beloved.

shoulders of her khaki jacket and the
front of her silk blouse showed the
whiting effect of the rain. In one hand
she clutched wet riding gloves. Her
cheeks, either from the cold rain or
mental stress, fairly burned, and her
eyes, which had seemed when he en-

our natural element, in which we live
and move and have our being, that
would be living the life that God wants
US to live, the life to which our pro-

Petrograd, Oct. 17.-The generals arrested for participation in the kornlloff uprising in their departure for Berditchev, province of Kiev, on October 10 were compelled to walk three miles to the railroad station. While they were jeered, pelted with missiles and threatened by a mob of several thousand persons
 The prisoners were brought from the guardhouse at eight o'clock in the evening to where motor cars, sur rounded by hostile crowd, were waiting. The thirty-six cadets who formed the guard had difficulty in standing off the mob which demanded that the generals be surrendered to them for summary punishment. The mob refused to permit the prisoners to ride in the automobiles and insisted that they walk the longest possible route to the station through the princi- pal streets. The mob followed, throw ing sticks and stones. The procession was stopped at each street lamp to prolong the batting, while the crowd shouted "kill them, "kill the trai- tors"
 General Arloff was struck in the eye by missile while Gen. Vanouf- . skys spine was injured seriously.
 When the prisoners arrived at the station the mob demanded that they be put in a convict car instead of the coaches prepared for them. The guard compromised on the baggage car, but the mob still refused to per- init the train to depart. The situa- tion became menacing and when the mob opened fire on the train one of the cadet guard ordered the engineer to pull out as quickly as possible.
