he followed his fathers trade. The
tale is told that Quentin lay i'll. A
charm in the form of a woodcut of
saint, reputed to have curative pow
ers, was brought to him. He lay there,
idly studying it and ornamenting 1t
with q bit Of color. When he had
finished 1t burst upon him, with blind
ing light, that here, in the rough
woodcut before him. lay the command
to follow the career of artist.
The story, retold by Alexandra Du-
mas, relates that the young Massys
recovered at once, arose and went TO
the home of his beloved. Her father
had sternly refused blacksmith the
right to call, but when he had ex-
plained his changed situation and
proved on the spot his artistic ability,
the father relented.
Another legend has it that this time
the father of a beautiful daughter
was himself an artist and would have
none but an artist for q son-in-law.
Massys, the blacksmith, is supposed to
have painted large and perfect fly
upon an angel in one of the older
mans canvases. So real was the fly
that he waved his hand to brush 1t
off when he showed the picture to
Massys, as an example OF the sort oil
thing he expected of his son-in-law.
When he discovered the fly was a
painted one he Immediately welcomed
the talented young man into the fam
lily. forgiving him, 1T is assumed, for
decorating his angel.

However 1t was that he arrived at
the sure knowledge of his talent, he
is inscribed at Is on the register of
st. Luke's, full member of the Guild
of Painters in Antwerp. His mar
riage to Alyt van Tuylt, presumably
the beloved of the stories, took place
in the same year. Six sons were born
to them, and in 1900 there is word
of the passing of Alyt. He sorrowed
deeply for her, and in his lonely state,
undertook and completed his greatest
works.
1t was the custom for each guild to
have its own altar in the church, each
altar being decorated by a master
craftsman. For the Carpenters Guild
in Louvain, his birthplace, Massys was
commissioned to paint 1.-THE Genealogy
of st. Anne" that was hung at the
Church of st. Pierre. And for the
Painters Guild in Antwerp, he ex-
ecuted. at their order, the even more
celebrated "Entombment," tryptych
that was hung in Notre Dame. 1t

Philip II of Spain attempted to pur-

40 900 forms for it, thereby acquiring
it. But the magistrate forbade its
sale and transported it himself to the
city hall. 1t was replaced at Notre
Dame in 1889, but announced for sale
again in 1898. Again it was saved for
Antwerp and bought for the Art School
and at last brought to the newly
founded museum.

after the capture.
O'Donnell said his deputies were in
the house as Birds wife walked in,
and that member of the family was
instructed to go out and tell Frank that
the coast was clear
Frank then came in and was cap
tured, O'Donnell said.
Shoot if you want" Bird was quoted
as saying as deputies made the cap
ture. He offered no resistance. Fol-
lowing the capture, the sheriff said his
deputies notified Cleveland and sub
urban police and Federal men.
A .38-caliber revolver was found
upon Frank, the sheriff said.
F. B. I. agents refused to discuss
the capture or say where the couple
had been taken At the County Jail

During September the Rev. Mr..

the position of curate at St. Johns
Episcopal church, Butte. He brought
a Butte newspaper describing ban
quet given on the 2,100-foot level of
the Steward mine. 1t was given him
by member of the party long ago,
Miss Anna Clark, who now is an Epis-
copal nun. The story of the banquet
reads in part as follows:
The most novel and one of the most
thoroughly enjoyable entertainments
ever extended visitors to Butte was the
one given yesterday to members of the
Massachusetts, Street Railway asSocia-
ton. For the first time in more than a
score of years banquet was served
below ground, and served with entire
success, every member of the large
party of visitors feeling himself almost
as much at home as though in hotel
dining room. The serving OF banquet
face of the earth was the unique
feature of the entertainment. and was
a feature greatly appreciated by all
the guests One and all declared the
experience underground to have been
the bright particular incident OF

Owing to the fact that the party ar
rived three and one-half hours late,
most of the trip about the city had

office Superintendent Kilgallan had
prepared suits of overallS to fit all
sizes of people and the men and all
but three of the ladies of the party at
once donned the overalls, jumpers and
miners caps. All were also provided
with candles. There was wait of a
few minutes while number OF photog-
rapherS. some of them with the party
and some of them from the city,
snapped the New Englanders in their
quaint costumes. The party then went
over to the West Stewart mine, which
had been selected for the trip under
ground in preference to the Original.
on account of its being dryer and not
SO hot. The party was taken through
the surface workings of the plant and
Superintendent Tom Bryant's new
safety crosshead, the popular superin-

for the complete success of his DEM
