ROMAN RECORDS IN AFRICA
Discovery It ts Believed Will Throw
Much Light on Early History
Of the Empire.

A discovery which,, it is claimed,
will form one Of the fundamental
sources for history Of the Roman
empire under Augustus has been made
recently by Doctor Oliyerio, an Ital-
i'm savant in Cyrene, the ancient
Greek colony in Africa, founded in the
Seventh century.
A Morning Post correspondent, writ
ing from Cyrene. says that excavations
at Bengasi-tbe ancient Berenice.
which stood in the midst Of the gar
dens of the Hesperides, near the mouth
Of the River Lethe-have resulted in
the unearthing of a block of marble
eight feet long, one face of which
bears flawless Greek inscription Of
over one hundred lines; the transla-
ton of letter from Augustus on the
government and administration Of JUS.
tice in Cydenaica,. giving a wonderful
insight into the financial and judicial
conditions Of the country at that time.
Other interesting finds are sane

probably Of. the time of Julian the
Apostate. with remarkably well-pre-
served black marble statue Of an
Egyptian. goddess. An extensive
Ptolemaic cemetery also has been To-
Gated. At Apollonia, a Christian ba-
silica Of the Fifth century is being ex-
cavated, and at Merdj. the ancient
BARGE, some Cutie Inscriptions have
been found which are held to be Of
great importance when the history Of
the Arab conquest comes to be written.

The old clOckmaker was seated in
his office, his head upon his hands, his
elbows on his desk, bordering. He oc-
cupied tiny Office in an old-fashiOned
part OF New York, downtown, and he
sat there for a great part of euch day
since he came to America fifty years
before, bringing with him the skill of
twelve generations Of Swiss clock
makers. Walser's clocks never varied
by more than five minutes yeur.
Great, old-fashioned grandfather's
clocks they were, uni because the
modern fashion is for cheap und gaudy
things, he sold only to few old-fash-
Toned customers, and his whole stock
was stored in the small warehouse and
workshop at the back of his office.
And he had driven Ernst, his only
son. his only child, out Of his home
forever. Ernst was the last Of the
Walsers. and with his action he had
effectively cut himself of from all the
generations that were to come. How
foolish his quarrel had been! It was
about a girl. whom Ernst wanted to
marry, and because he had not told
his father all about 1t old Walser had
taken umbrage.
"Who Is she7" he asked angrily.
And Ernst answered that she was q
domestic servant. Then the old mans
digger fiared out, for the Walsers
tFaeed their descent from princes and
Walser had mixed SO little with his
kind that the old traditions fingered.
Old Walser turned to his son.

.svAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
THE WOMAN OF MISFORTUNE.
By JAMES c. YOUNG


SY~HE loves Of Marion Delorme all
i seemed to end in misfortune. She
was devotedly attached to Cling Mars.
that brilliant young figure introduced
at the court Of Louis NH by the
great Richelieu. Cling Mars distip
guishetl himself mt the siege of Arras
h 1910 and Immediately felt himself
fitted for high command. He had be.
come q favorite Of the king and a
notable Of the day. Richelieu either
believed that Cling Mars was UNITED
70 command or else found his rising
star q peril to himself. So he opposed
the granting Of the young mans
wishes. Louis temporized. and Cling
Mars talked rushly of overthrowing the
cardinal. Then he did something much
worse, negotiating with Spain to fur
ther his conspiracy. Riclelieu exposed
him and he was executed at the prema.
ture age Of twenty-five.
His death plunged Marion into grief.
but soon she reappeared in that halt
world Just below the court. Her salon
became one of the centers Of Partisan
life. She had succession Of lovers,
even Including Richelieu, 1t was said,
But each time misfortune attended her.
Then came the death of the cardinal
and the rise to power Of Mazarin, also
cardinal and first minister of France.
And not long afterward civil struggle
began which was known as the Fronde.
Many Of the leaders were reputed to
gather ut the house of Marion. That
meant more misfortune. Mazarin sent
to have her arrested. But suddenly she
died and the cardinal was frustrated.
Now that Is the story which history
tells about Marion DelOrme. But there
IL another and far stranger story
which has many indications Of truth.
According to this account she did not
die at the dramatic moment history
records, but dead woman resembling
her was laid out for public inspection
and duly buried. Then, the story runs,
Marion resumed her career in other
lands. finaoy returning to Paris for
an old age spent in misery. One &C.
count holds that she lived until 1905,
dying Mt the age Of ninety-three after
living through one Of the most event
full centuries that history has known.
II these stories be true, what strange
thoughts must have been those of
Marion. in her old age, looking back
upon the time of her youth when she
consorted with Cling Mars. the kings
ministers, and tine most powerful 6g.
ures Of the day.

Confirmation is not lacking that

place the Denver & Salt Lake
railroad in charge Of the great
Burlington system. 1t is now
admitted by the best posted rail-
road and business men in Denver
that thee deal is a certainty, altho
it may take some time to work out
the anal transfer. There are many
reports that the Burlington, how
ever, will lend assistance in the
way Of motive power at once.
With the Burlington in control
Of the Rio Grande and the Western
Pacific, railroad men see in the
negotiations for the control of the
Moffatt road deal in transconti-
mental transportation making the
shortest line across the continent.
The Burlington last week secured
l6O acres of ground adjoining the
! Moffat shops at Utah Junction
and will erect there the larges
shops of the system.
There could be no better outcome
of the present railroad troubles o

entrance of the Burlington. I
