New Art Energies.

AS out of former great upheayals
has emerged a new art, so out of the
World war and the abundance of her
own services and intense human sac
rifice, Mrs. Whitney has given to
all, and especially now to the west,
a great group of war memorials.
From receiving honors from the pres
ident and people of France for her
famous Red Cross group, her thought
has turned westward. Mrs. Whitney
has won fame by her own handiwork
but declared that out here she found
herself in competition with God.
In appreciation of this generosity,
of which so few are capable, Cody
invites all art lovers and learners to
see in the pictures and bronze statu-
airy what Mrs. Whitney has made pos
sible outside the big places. On the
n side of the classic library, in the
miscellaneous group of statuary, is
a head in white marble, a life size re-
plica of the original Titanic"
which is to be placed on the
Potomac river opposite the Lincoln
memorial. "The Aviator" is Mrs.
Whitney's son. Colonel x" and
captain G." were in the hospital
which Mrs. Whitney maintained at
the front during the entire war. She
made rough sketches of them and
later when they fell, upon request
of their families, figures were mod
eled by the noted sculptor.

MORE MUSEUM SIGHTS

"Of course Billie Brownie said, Il
am not nearly so fond Of a museum as
am of a zoo or menagerie where
there are live animals.
in a museum they have stuffed n
mails and Old, old things. They nave
old, old rocks and stones and they
have models Of old Indian villages and
such places"
what are models?" asked one or
the other Brownies.
"a model of an Indian village is a
small imitation Of a real one. There
are toy villages made of cardboard.
They could be called model villages
for they are like the real ones.

There was a chimney swallow and

which are T grass, are woven neatly
and often tu.1 up a whole tree.

There was the rhinOceros horn

That evening Tommy sat on the
bed, and cogitated deeply. Would
Conrad again accompany the girl? II
he did not, should he risk trying 10
make an ally Of her? He decided that
he must leave no stone unturned. His
position was desperate.

She obeyed.
'Look here, Annette, I want you to
help me get out Of this"
She shook her head.
Impossible. There are three Of
them on the floor below"
"Ohl" Tommy was secretly crate
ful for the information. "But you
would help me If you couldT'
"No, monsieur"
"Why not?"
The girl hesitated.
"I dare not, monsieur; I am afraid
Of them"
She turned away.

another girl?" cried Tommy. "She's
about your age, too. Won't you save
her from their clutchesT

at Is her you came here to look
for? YesT'
THAT'S IT,"
The girl looked ut him, then passed
her hand across her forehead.
"Jane Finn. Always l hear that
name. 1t Is familiar"
Tommy came forward eagerly.
"You must know something about
herT'
But the girl turned away abruptly.
"I know nothing-only the name"
She walked towards the door. Sud
denly she uttered a cry. Tommy
stared. She had caught sight OF the
picture he had laid against the wall
the night before. For n moment he
caught a look Of terror In her eyes.
As inexpllcably It changed to relief.
Then abruptly she went out of the
room. Tommy could make nothing of
II. Did she fancy that he had meant
TO attack her with It? Surely not.
He rehung the picture on the wall
thoughtfully.
Three more days went by In dreary
inaction. Tommy felt the strain tell
ing on his nerves. He saw no one but
Conrad and Annette, and the girl had
become dumb. He gathered from Con
rad that they were waiting for orders
from "Mr. Brown" Perhaps, thought
Tommy. he was abroad or away, and
they were obliged to wait for his
return.

brought q rude awakening.

The foremost Of the advancing
horde halted. Within a few min
utes the open space was crowded.
Those in the rear tried to push for
ward through the congestion.
Some sought higher ground so that
they might see over the heads Of
the rest. Others scrambled among
willow roots and clumps Of feath-
cry canes. 1t was q swaying
throng, from which the hum Of
voices rose. Very many could not
even see the flowing water.
Evan and Joel with the cripple
they carried and the girl, Adah,
were some distance back. It was
impossible to advance further.
Near them a boy had climbed u

Some soldiers off duty from the
Roman garrison of the city, wear

were almost alongside them. They
were hard-bitten, loutiSh fellows,

and meant to enjoy themselves.
