MARoUET was unquestionably con-
siderable more than mere deliver for
facts or an amanuensis. His thor
ough knowledge of ancient France,
its customs and its medieval defenses
was of especial value in writing
"The Three Musketeers." He may
have written some chapters of this
book and of the cloak and sword
romances which followed it, but he
did not create or give life to the
three famous characters, Porthos,
Athos and Aramis, in which the world
has so greatly delighted. His part
in "The Count of Monte Cristo" was
also. not unimportant. AS DUMAS
conceived this romance the beginning
was to be in Rome and the Count of
Monte Cristo was to narrate what
had preceded. 1t was MARQUEr, ac-
cording to general belief, who saw
the dramatic value in telling in
proper sequence the arrest, imprison-
ment and escape of Edmond Dantes
as they afterward appeared in the
published work.
DUMAS was frequently accused of
plagiarism. This charge, made by De
CAssAGNAc, who, was protege of
VICTOR HUGO, was the cause Of the
break in the friendship OF DUMAS
and HUGO. In his biography DUMAS
explained where he got many of
the ideas which he was accused of
pilfering. and an investigation
showed that he had invariably i'm

To THE New YORK HERALD: Miss

sold half her chance for $4,000 before

what does she think of the man who

that turned out to be s250.000?
There is a great deal Of analysis of
the mind by so-cailed professionals and
more of 1t by amateurs. Some Of them

The Cup Of Esdras.

'Behold. he reached me full cup, which
was full as 1t were with water, but the
Book Of Esdras. IN the Apocrypha, chapter
Iir., verse 80.
To Esdras, scribe Of Aaron's line, a
Voice
From out a bush declares. Thou must
depart,
And with my Son abide" All. sweet
the choice
OF Paradise to his world-jaded heart!
And then that thrilling speech Of the
Unseen
Proceeds. "In order. therefore. set thine
house;
Upon thy mortal thoughts no longer
lean;
Cast far from thee mans burdens. and
arouse
Thy nobler nature its weak fears to
spurn.
Haste thee to flee from these soul
wearying times!"
But through his gladness still his heart
must yearn
For brethren he will leave in earth's
bleak climes:
Behold. Lord, I will go as Thou dost
bid"
He cries, "But let me first write faith
fully
Thy law of truth in books where naught
Is hid
OF aid to questing souls who fain would
Thy glory radiant even through earth'a
veils"
The Voice replies, Come hither ~
shall light
From Wisdom's flame divine, that never
fails,
A candle in thine heart so pure and
bright
That it shall guide thee till thy task
Is o'er.'
The next day once again the Voice is
heard:
Drink, Esdras, of this draught that
shall pour,
And win the power to write my mighty
word"
All, wonder of that outheld cup he sees
Full to the brim with potion crystalline
Where sparkling lights enkindle mys-
teries
In mantling color Of strange fiery sheen
Unfinchingly he drinks, and 10. his
heart
Conceives deep understanding; in his
breast
Spreads fervent wisdom, giving holy
art
To fuse his spirit with divine behest.
Until his lips may utter heavenly lore
That many writer's scarce avail to keep
With racing pens, so swift the streams
outpour!
The penmen rest, but Esdras may not
sleep.
So by that draught the scribe is prophet
made.
And all his writing kindled with new
flame;
The face of man makes him no more
afraid,
For JOY that he may Gods fair love
All, glorious grail Of Esdras's vision
come!
We too on mortal thoughts still weakly
lean;
Give utterance of truth unto the dumb.
And TO the plodding scribe the prophets
mien.
Again from thy full cup, the hue Of fire,
Let those who, bring us counsel bravely
drink,
Until they guide our times with pure
desire,
And from no dread of human malice
shrink.
Infuse with flame of gladness from thy
brim
The poets and artists who would tell
Christs truth
Thok Love = and Beauty even now
through Him
Might purge all sadness in His joy OF

Latin a. a Living Tongue.

The movement to revive Latin
as living language, which was
launched in this city last January at
the meeting at the Century Club Of
the Institute Of International Edu-
cation, appears to be marking time.
Yet the sponsors of the plan are per-
sons of weight in the educational
world. The brief for the resuscita-
tion of Latin which they submitted
is scholarly document containing
impressive arguments.
The broad topic for the meetings
consideration was the adoption Of
an auxiliary international language.
That there is need of q universal
second language was postulated AS
self-evident. National jealousies, it
was averred, would bar any tongue
now spoken, and although in time
English might grow into wide ac-
ceptance, yet the worlds need is too
urgent to admit of delay.
Starting from these propositions.
the assembled scholars rejected Es-
peranto at the outset. Dry, hard and
uninspiring, as well as devoid o.
roots in the life and literature Of
the past, they found it cut off from
the spiritual inheritance of mankind.
A revival Of Latin seemed to them
the only solution Of the problem. For
thousand years Latin was the civil
lized worlds universal language.
Most snving statesmen, teachers, sci
entists and professional men have a
sufficient basic knowledge of it to ac-
quire facility in speaking and writ
ing it. Nearly all schools and COLI
leges have instructors capable of
teaching it as a.living tongue.
1t is simpler in spelling, in pro-
nunciation, in syntax and in idiom
than English, French or German. III
the United States were to take the
lead in breathing the breath of life
into the language the opinion was
expressed that Great Britain, France,
Italy, Spain and all South America
would speedily follow.
This in substance is the pro-Latin
brief. 1t Is an attractive programme.
Yet, Notwithstanding the fact that a
committee was appointed to urge its
Endorsement by influential educators,
it does not appear to have aroused
wide interest. Perhaps the time has
been too short. Perhaps the impress
sion prevails that Latin, though dead,
still lives.
1t certainly is the backbone OF
French, Italian, Spanish and their
offshoots. In the ordinary English
vocabulary large proportion of tho
words are of Latin origin. Latin
certainly resounds sonorously In the
statelier forms of English diction.
Submerged and smothered by its
own progeny as it is, until it's ac-
cents are unrecognizable in the many
and strange vocal variants, Latin is
still far from suppressed. II its ar
ticulate indentity is gone its prec-
ence in the written word remains in
vivid evidence. Dead as a universal
language It. certainly is, and the at
tempt of educators to revive it as
such may prove a hopeless undertake
Ing. But, even so, IL that attempt
results only in renewed impetus to
the study of the noble tongue of
ancient Rome in educational institu-
tions, study which OF late years has
shown a tendency to languish, the
effort put forth will be far from

Track and Field
The coming year is expected to be
one of great activity in college track
and field athletics and sport of all
classes. according to Gustavus r. Kirby,
president of the American Olympic
committee. at the Antwerp internation-
al meet. Mr. Kirby states:
college athletics received a splen-
did impetus during the past year due
in part to the visit of the Oxford-Cam-
bridge universities track team last sum
mer and the resultant international IN
ter-eollegiate meets at Boston and New
York. Golf, tennis, small yacht racing
and other forms of amateur sport also
figured in similar international con-
tests.

mer and British yachtsmen will race

forerunners of other and bigger events,
in keeping with the spread of sport.
Last year was one of the most re-
