ciated with the Abbey Of Westminster
or one of the greater abbeys in the
southern part of the kingdom, and is
regarded in the light of a national
monument.
The Titan painting was for long sup
posed to represent a group of the Cor
marc family, but lately has been thought
to represent the Vandramin family. At
any rate, 1t was recorded in the VAN
dranin collection in 1867, from which
1t passed, by purchase, to Van Dyck
On Van Dyck's death in England his
executors sold his pictures, and this
picture was bought by Algernon Percy,
tenth Earl of Northumberland, and has
remained in and passed through that
family ever since. It is said to represent
Titan at the height Of his power-to be
one of the great masterpieces of the
world.
When the question of these purchases
was up before Parliament an interest
ing debate took place in the House of
Commons, in which objections to such
o purchase on economic grounds were
admirably answered, and the worth of
such pictures, both in coin of the realm
and esthetic satisfaction was fully
discussed. One of the speakers upon
that occasion declared that there is
an enormous number of people to whom
really great works of art are a source
Of spiritual enjoyment which cannot
be assessed in pounds, shillings and
pence" and that so long as we are
q great and wealthy nation it ought to
be our duty to provide the public and
visitors to the country with the finest
works Of art for their spiritual refresh
ment, education and enjoyment" 1t was
on these grounds that the British Par
lament voted the money TO acquire this
year two outstanding works of art which
henceforth will be among the richest
treasures of the already rich national
British collection.
When, may it be asked, will the Gov
eminent Of the United States put such
value on masterpieces of art, on things
which appeal to the higher senses and
witness to the development of civilian
ton?
TOR the past two or three years not
able series of print exhibitions have
been held in the Smithsonian Building,
arranged by Reul P. Tolman and shown
under the auspices of the division of
graphic arts of the National Museum.
The present seasons series is suspicious
IL iriaugurated by an exhibition of
Keith. q native of Premier Macdonalds
own country, Scotland, but one who
has lived much of her life in China
and Japan.
Miss Keith studied art in various
london schools, and her chosen medium
originally was water color, medium
which she still at times enjoys skill
fully. But In the course of her travels
in the Far East, IA or IS years ago
she became interested in woodblocE
printing, a process which the japanese
artists of the Ukiyo-ye School brought
20 highest perfection.
In taking up woodblock printing Miss
Keith followed closely in the footsteps
of an American artist, Helen Hyde, who
was probably the first Occidental to
seriously attempt work In this medium
and to win success, not only in Ameri-
ca and European countries, but in
Japan. There is a certain similarity in
the work of Miss Keith and that Of the
late Helen Hyde. Both show, strongly
japanese influence. but each has in
z Gividuality. Miss Hydes work was per-

Raising of Lizards
Seen as Next u. S. Fad

From where we sit, over in Honolulu,
it appears that the next fad in Amer
lea will be the raising of water lizards
as household pets. And Japanese water
lizards at that
When a japanese liner came into port
on board it were IS barrels of these liz
ards, with about 200 in each barrel.
They were consigned to various persons
and firms in the United States, mostly
to firms that deal in pet stock, such as
canaries. dogs, cats and goldfish.
The lizards, it appears, are being i'm
ported much as are Japanese and Chi
nese goldfish and will be kept in about
the same manner. The water lizards
aren't as gorgeously beautiful, as the
goldfish, but apparently Americans see
likable qualities in them, for orders are
reported to be multiplying for these
queer pets. They are unusually hardy
and up to the time of reaching Homo
lulu no casualties had been reported.

the Duke of Northumberland for El22,-

BY that time 1t was too late TO do any

he was a sneak and a coward If he did

had treated him with kindness for many
years.
Slowly IN painfully he staggered to
his feet and began numbering up the
rugged trail that the horsemen had
taken. AT the first spring he came to
OGrady took a long drink of cold water
and scrubbed his head until his senses
cleared. Then suddenly he felt his old
time spirit come back. He was no longer
the solder tramp of yesterday; he was
the heroic scout, Indian fighter, II
frontiersman of his glorious youth.
Now when he followed the trail 1t was
with the instincts OF a woodsman. He
kept a keen lookout for the members OF
the outlaw gang that might be lurking
and 1T was not until he heard a sputter-
Ing fire OF pistol shots far up the canyon
that he once more broke into a heavy
run.
Suddenly he was brought to a halt. In
the trail before him was q single horse
man, a Mexican busily engaged in rolling
a clgaret. 1t was the cigaret that saved
OGrady's life, for If the Mexican had had
the gun in his hand he could not have
missed.
AS it was, O'Grady had Just time
enough to duel into the bushes and
scramble to safety as three rapid shots
rang out and the Mexican came clatter-
ing down the trail in pursuit. But by
that time the old man had rolled over
the BLUM and found shelter in a hollow
or the rocks, where he waited for his
enemy, gun in He had no chance
TO shoot, however, for the Mexican mere
ly locke over the side of the cliff and,
seeing no one. he had been too indolent
and perhaps too cautious to seek further.
After a long time O'Grady heard ais
pony starting up the trail at a leisurely
trot n then. after giving him plenty
OF time to get u Of sight. the old man
crawled out of his hiding place and
limped painfully after him.
He realized that in spite of his brag-
cling he was Just an old man; no longer
the sinewy, ~tireless frontiersman that he
had once been. But doggedly he kept
plugging along. for the more he thought
of Jtm's predicament the more determ-
ined he was to help him out or die In
the attempt.
Some distance beyond the clearing
marked by the blasted Juniper and the
green rock OGrady reached the scene OF
Devine's murder. All signs Of the gun
fight had disappeared except a little pool
OF blood where the victims body had
fallen.
O'Grady looked at it with feelings OF
anger and pity. Wa it Jim's blood? Had
he come too late to save his friend after
all? O'Grady sWore under his breath that
If Jim had been killed it would still be
possible to even up the score with the
gang that had killed him.

An annual saving Of more than S.

day rates for toll n long distance
calls in the Bell system effective Feb.
1, according to an announcement re-
ceived from F. H.. Reid, president Of
the Mountain States Telephone and

All day calls between points from 13C
to approximately 1900 miles apart are
reduced in cost. This is true Of person

This reduction affects calls placed tc
any one of the 10, 000, 900 telephones In
the United States. Telephone users In
the territory served by the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph company
will profit substantially by the reduc-
lions.
This general reduction Is the third
made by the Bell system in two years and
four months, and, according to Mr.. Reid's
statement, is In keeping with the Bell
systems policy Of providing 1.-THE best

it has been possible both to improve the
service and reduce the rates.
During 1928 there la been q continu

toll and long distance calls were hand

that 80 per cent Of calls are now handled

This Is the second substantial saving
