with great deal Of pomp and
show the Kings men set out with the
beautiful Greek girl for the Kings
palace. Among the people in Nau-
critis some rejoiced; some wondered
great deal, and others predicted
sad things. Rhodopis herself had
nothing to say, except that she was
glad to go.
Arriving at Memphis, she was
taken to the palace. A great cere-
mony had been planned. Part Of this
would be the trying on of tho sandal
before the Kings very eyes, There
was music; every one was dressed in
the finest and gayest fashion and a
great feast had been prepared.
Rhodopis, in her plain little clothes,
was somewhat frightened by all the

licious heathlike country of pines
and frs, huge boulders and rocky
knobs. Suddenly, at the ridge we
looked down upon the sea and the
Plain Of Marathon, still Yong way
off, and tumbled wilderness of ra
vine stretching toward it from our
feet. At that sight no words came
to any Of us. That small strip of
dead level plain, with the stream
winding sluggishly through its
marshes toward the sea, seemed
destined by nature for some great
moment in history-the only bit of
fiat ground the eye could see amid
the riot Of beautiful mountain con-
tours.
"By this time it was late after
noon and we lost no time in plunping

mouth must give way to let the
water get to the sea. So, instead OF
one wide river pouring into the sea
there are many narrow rivers run
ming through the delta, finally
carrying the waters Of the Mic to
the Mediterranean. The city of Nau-
critis was near the delta and near
the channel of the Nile known as
the Canobie branch.
One Of the chief pleasures of
Rhodopis, the rosy checked, was
bathing in this branch of the Nile.
She spent many drowsy hours along
its banks, and you who go to the
beach in summer know what good
times she had.
1t happened that one day when
she was in the water she was
alarmed TO see great eagle swoop
down near her. 1t dropped to the
bank near where Rhodopis had left
her clothes and when it flew into
the air again it carried one Of the
girls sandals. She was dismaved,
but tripped home in her bare feet
and soon forgot about the sandal
she had lost.
The King who was so kind to the
Greeks lived at Memphis, many miles
away. In trying to be good King
he believed it was his duty to act as
judge over the disputes that arose
among his people. On certain days
ne sat in the courtyard of his palace
and the people were permitted to
come in and tell him their disputes.
Then he decided which ones he be-
lleved were in the right or the
wrong.
One day when he was sitting in
Judgment an eagle flying overhead
dropped woman's sandal into his
lap. For a moment every one was
astonished. The King himself
thought it was all omen, for people
were very superstitious in those days
about things they didn't understand.
Moreover, as he held the sandal in
his hand and examined it he saw
that it was pretty, and what was
more, that its size proved that it
must have belonged to very dainty
foot. He dismissed court for the
day, going into the palace to think
over the meaning of this sandal
that had been dropped in his lap
from the skies. He was sure the
gods had meant it as a message.
The next day he called some of
his most trusted servants to him and
told them that the wearer of the

Three Girls on the Battlefield of Marathon

TNHE adventures of three English
4. girl students who went to see
the battlefield of Marathon
are told by Mabel in The Manches-
ter Guardian. She writes:

late. Marathon is only fifteen miles
from Athens, but the direct path
lies over Pendeli (as the marble
mountain Pentelikon is now happilv

OF it; Greek mountains, moreover,
are hard and rough going. We had
almost resigned ourselves to defer
it; but the monday sun shone glori-

than it fitted Barton. The defense
drew the conclusion, therefore, that
evidence of this sort was manifestly
worthless.
"You will say; The first thing to
do was to ask Barton if the hat was

fail in that duty, and Thomas
obadiah Barton was only 100 well
disposed to listen to me. Of all the
brutes who have ever been charged
with murder, from London to the
antipodes, he was the most complete,
the most positive and the most in
curabie. He didn't speak, not only
because he had been told not to speak
but because he no longer had any
more ideas in his brain, it seemed,
than- the OK which ruminates, the

his taste. One of US thus became

the third Marioula. And we were

thus rechristening us. For when at

to keep up formahties and say: Is

And so, thanks to Father Pavlos,

itza we remained.
''In the morning we bade our host
farewell He would accept nothing
but some candles for his church. IL

enough for him.
Thanks to this fortunate misad-
venture (Which a friend afterward
playfully compared to the visit Of the
three ladies, weary and wayworn,
TO the abode Of the Lord Love, in
Dante's canzone), we passed the
night nearer than most pilgrims 10
the site of the battle-the village Of
Marathon lying far inland. The site
itself is marked by a great mound
(Soros), approached by a straight
narrow road. Pine trees, wild and
rugged, grow in a wide ring round
ITS base, their tops nearly level with
its summit. Beyond stretched the
bare level line of the sea. and the
Eub@an hills, dark and gaNnt in the

"The, King has always been kind
to u.s." said Rhodopis. ellis men
may not come here, anyway"
"There is a story" again the old
woman thought of something she
heard, that the sandal was dropped
into the Kings lap by q great eagle
flying overhead. That sounds queer,
and if it were true it would mean
some magic or omen, I think"
The rosy cheeks of Rhodopis grew
roster when she heard this. She
could not speak for a moment be-
cause her heart seemed to have
jumped into her throat. Without
revealing anything to the old woman
she turned and started for home. As
soon as she was out Of sight, she ran.
You see, she had thrown the mate
to the lost sandal into a corner and
forgotten it. She went now to sec
whether any one had destroyed it.
Nothing had happened to it, and she
hid it away very carefully in a secret
place.
Great was the excitement in Nau-
critis caused by the coming of the
Kings men. The people Of the city
did not know whether it meant good
or evil for them. But none of the
women dared refuse to try on the
sandal. So day after day they ap-
peared before the messengers and
tried to get their feet into the dainty
shoe. Then they returned to their
homes, relieved that it would not fit
them.
Of course, Rhodopis was so we'll |.
known because of her beauty that |
she could not hide from the Kings
men. Still she did manage to escape
them for a few days. Al length of
her own free will she went to them
and said she would try on the sandal.
"He has always been good to u.s."
she said to herself, "and I am sure he
can mean no harm"
When Rhodopis tried on the sandal
The search was over. The one foot in

show and rejoicing about her.
Finally when she was led into a
great room, where the ceremony
should take place, her knees trem-
bled and her checks were roster than
ever. She did not falter, however.
The Kings face was more than
kind. His eyes lighted up when he
saw the beauty of The girl. He went
forward, waved his servants aside
and himself led her to a high stone
chair, where the sandal was to be
tried on. Helping her into the chair,
he took the sandal from one of his
men, and before all the people slipped
it on to her foot himself.
AS he rose Rhodopis, with smile
that made her more beautiful than
