Since daybreak thero had hern no ,
change i« the ceaseless lurching of ,
the yacht or the dull roar of the waves I
as they swept in long, heavy seas over
Its sides.
Twice Katherine hud tried to leave
her stateroom and reach the cabin and ,
had been forced back, once the white!
faced stewardess had come to her door, ;
There was no immediate danger, she
Hssured her. They would be notified
at once if there were. If she was
nervous, Mr. Hetherington said he (
would come to her. And Katherine j
had sent back word that she was not j
at all nervous, and Mr Hetherington (
need not trouble himself at all about
her.
When the girl had gone, she had i
thrown herself on the couch and given
full vent to the terror that had haunted j
her all night long. She was afraid, j
afraid with her whole heart, of the
great, lashing, hungry sea. that tossed
and played with the yacht like some :
huge monster with its helpless prey j
and threatened every moment to hurl
it down to death.
If Hetherington had been with her, !
If they two could have faced eternity j
!n each other's arms, with the >ld love j
strengthening them, she would have
known no fear. But as it was, a wild, |
unreasoning, childish terror made her
tremble at every crashing wave, and
she longed for even a sight of his face i
before the end should have swept them '
lrrevocabfr apart.
The week at sea had passed like a !
troubled dream. They were to have
made harbor the previous morning. |
and the storm had driven them off the
course down the southern French
coast. By tlilc time she had thought ;
everything would have been over - the
brief, tearless parting with Hether- i
Ington, the meeting with her mother in
Paris and the trip to Berbec.
Dear, lovely, lonely little Berbec up
on the Normandy coast! The two sum ;
rners she had spent there, In old Mar- 1
llgny's classes, had been the happiest
of her life She loved even the mem- j
ory of the crescent shore line, with the :
old boats drawn up on the sand and
the nets drying in the sunlight and the
trown skinned fisher boys and girls j
gossiping over their baskets of silvery
scaled fish.
It had all been arranged and settled
•o decently, as Hetherington said. !
There had never been any open quar- j
rels between them for the servants
and public to gossip over, merely a
quiet, courteous antagonism which re
quired no explanation. The marriage
tiad not been voluntary.
"It was the blessed, stupid mothers,'' ,
Katherine said with gay cynicism at
their last interview. "We're not the
kind who settle down, Bruce, and be
married and then do nothing but give
house parties and dinner parties and
yachting parties and all the rest of it.
'You were rich and nobody in particu
lar, and I was poor and a I.orimer,
and the wise little mothers simply saw 1
a chance to found a dynasty of mutual
toeneflt, and we drifted until they land
ed us under the orange blossoms. It 1
la a little ttvngle of fate's skeins. We
can't go back and untangle it, but we
can do the Alexander trick and cut It."
He had agreed to the separation too
readily, she thought. Even acknowl
edging perfect indifference on both
■ides, a little hesitancy would have
been desirable. He had almost seemed .
cheerful when he had asked her what \
she Intended doing at Berbec.
"You haven't the ghost of a right to j
ask me," she had told him, "but there ;
Is nothing to conceal. Martlgny keeps
np his summer classes still. You know j
1 studied under him there and in Paris, j
too, when we were poor, before"— |
She hesitatPd and went on with a light
touch of bitterness—"before I was the ;
fortunate Mrs. Hetherington. There Is |
certain to be some of the old class left, j
and I can rest and study."
"And be happy," continued Hether- j
Ington. She bad not answered.
She felt that lie could not understand 1
how she longed for the old quiet life j
away from the world. It was at Ber- |
bee he had first met her. Young and j
handsome, he had come to the little
fishing hamlet on a yachting cruise j
and, with all the confidence of new
riches, had expected to enter the little
exclusive art and social coterie that
gathered there. It had been lier favor
that had won him the entree, and be
fore the ivy that clambered on old
Martlgny's garden wall had turned to
crimson they were engaged.
It was not until after the wedding
In Paris at Eastertide that Katherine
had realized how the world, her world, |
was smiling at her in polite amuse
ment. It was so palpably a murlage de
eonvenance. Not a breath of the sweet
cess of the wooing at quaint Berbec
had reached It. It was merely that
Kitty Lorlmer had married Bruce j
Hetherington for his money, and all
the host of nouveau riche Hethering
-1 > :s were to sweep Into society under
i: *• shadow of the Lorimer wings.
And the knowledge of the world's
Judgment of them had bred a vague,
mutual distrust, a fear born of love
and pride that the other one might give ;
■credence to the world's rumor. After ,
that the drifting apart had been swift, i
and the end laid come deliberately. She
had u Ished to spend the summer at
Berbec alone. He had refused posl- !
tlvely to permit it. If she went against i
his wishes, be would consider it final. |
Before she had fully realized what It
meant she had tossed back her an- i
swer It was final then. She would
goto Berbec. The following week
they had sailed for France.
A sudden, sharp rapping on her state
room d<>or startled her. She caught
her breath as she rose unsteadily and
clung for support to the side of the
berth. The moment of danger had
come, ami they had sent for her. Not
Hetherington, she knew. I'ntil she
called for him he would meet even
death without a word. But If she
could call, if there was only yet time, |
only a moment of grace, to reach him
and tell him it was all a miserable mis
take of pride, that she loved him with
all her heart and wanted his presence
with her now at the supreme moment
when all the world had fallen away to
nothingn"~° and there was only the
mystery o. " before her and his
love to bear n.. The rapping sound
ed heavier and more imperative.
"Kit! Let me in!"
It was Hetherington's voice. She
turned the lock with steady fingers, a
sudden peace -strengthening her. He
prused in the doorway, tall and dark
and storin beaten in his dripping oil
skins, his face white and grim as he
looked down at her.
"Has it come, dear?' sho asked, lift
ing her face to him. ' I'm not afraid—
With you."
He caught her to him closely and
pressed his lips to hers with hungry
Intensity.
"Not afraid in death. Kit." he said
bitterly. "Then why in life?"
She closed her eyes and shrank
closer to blm. Heath had become a
friend to be met with smiling eyes and
welcoming happiness. As Hetlierlng
ton raised his head she waited, expect
i antly. The lurching and groaning had
' stopped. She wondered if they were
Sli'klng and tightened the clasp of her
! arms about his neck as she smiled up
• at him.
"How dear death is together!" she
said softly. "I'm not one bit afraid."
His eyes lighted with sudden com
prehension, and he stood back, loosen
i ing her arms.
"The danger is past," he said. "I
came to tell you we had made the har
bor at St. llilaire. You can reach Paris
. .»
; by evening.
For an instant she hesitated In the
revulsion of thought, then held out her
I arms longingly.
i "Not alone," she said; "not alone
now, sweetheart. I am afraid In Ufa,
too, alone."
COMPENSATION.
All Til 1 ri K* Are to Re Had If One Will
l.:it I'ny the Equivalent.
I.ife consists almost wholly of buy
ing, selling, paying. There are no
1 gifts, nothing that does not call for an
equivalent. If we cannot pay for gifts
| In kind we must pay In gratitude or
sendee or we shall rank as moral bank
j rupts.
If I would have a good situation I
must pay for It not only In labor, but
1 in promptness, intelligence, faithful- ;
ness and good manners. If I would
i have good service I must pay not only i
in money, but In consideration, recog
nition, appreciation, fairness. I can
hold no one to me if I misuse him.
All tilings are to be had for the buy
: ing. Would you have friends? Then
J pay the price. The price of friendship
is to be worthy of friendship. The
price of glory Is to do something glori
ous. The price of shame is to do some
i thing shameful.
Friendship, glory, honor, admiration,
! courage, infamy, contempt, hatred, are |
all in the market place for sale at a
price. We are buying and selling these
things constantly as we will. Even
beauty is for sale. Plain women can
gain beauty by cultivating grace, anl
matlon, pleasant speech. Intelligence,
helpfulness, courage or good will.
Beauty Is not in the features aloue; It i
i is In the soul also.
Good will buys good will, friendli
ness buys friendship, confidence be
gets confidence, service rewards serv
Ice, and hate pays for hate, suspicion
for suspicion, treachery for treachery,
j contempt for ingratitude, slovenliness,
laziness and lying.
We plant a shrub, a rosebush, an or
chard, with the expectation that they
will pay us back. We build roads,
mend harness and patch the roof with
the same expectation. We will trust
even these unconscious things to pay
I their debts.
i Some of our investments are good
i and some are bad. The go«Kl qualities
we acquire- moderation, industry, cour
tesy, order, patience, candor—are sound
investments. Our evil institutions and
habits are bad Investments, involving
us in losses. We become debtors to
them, and they are exacting creditors,
i forcing payment in full in money and
labor and sometimes In blood, agony,
tears, humiliation or shame.— From

ANCIENT BURIALS.
Wrtpona of Warrior* and Trinket#
of Women In Their Grave*.
A cemetery belonging to a garrison
of Longobards has been found near
| Ascoli, on the Tronto, at a pass across
the Apennines, In Italy. The site of
the fort Is the top of an island of rock
now occupied by a little hamlet called
' Castel Trosino. All the warriors were
I laid with their faces to the east. Near
i the head was found a comb made of
I horn or bone and a round shield with
! iron boss. On the right lay a long,
! straight iron sword In a scabbard of
i hide. Against the right shoulder was
I laid a long wooden spear and on the
left a dagger in a highly ornamented
! sheath, decorated with gold, as well as
{ a bow and arrows In a quiver.
Generally there was present the
buckle of a broad belt, often decorated
applique for l»elt and scabbard, fash
loned of gold, silver or bronze. Small
| gold plates seem to have been sewed
I to the coat in the shape of u cross. One
grave contained a heavy cuirass of
plates bound together with Iron wire.
The horsemen had big shears for clip

A CURIOUS TREE.
One of \ntnre'» tjneer l'rodueta That
Are Koaud In Africa.
The Welwitschia mirabilis is a won
der of the vegetable kingdom. It
grows on the barren land of the west
! era side of Africa, where rain is a!
] most unknown and the only moisture
Is that from dews which fall tit night.
This plant was discovered in lStft by
: Dr. Welwitsch, an eminent scientific
I traveler. The welwitschia is a tree
which lives for many years, many
! specimens being estimated as more
| than lbo years old.
Every year of its life increases its
§ize, yet it never grows higher. Ris
ing Just above the ground this strange
plant, looking like a ronth round table,
regularly enlarges l»y adding concen
tric layers to Its circumference. T;ie
flat upper surface of the trunk is very
hard and dark, resembling in color and
texture the crust of an overbaked loaf.
The trunk attains the size of from
fourteen to eighteen feet in circum
ference, but is never more than a few
Inches above the ground.
The welwitschia Is remarkable in
the fact that It never loses its first
two leaves and never gets any more.
These leaves Increase In size year aft
er year until they attain the length of
six or eight feet «r more. They are
flat aud lentherv and frequently split
into numerous straps.

The famous underground labyrinth
near Chiselhurst was recently trav
ersed from end to end by a party of
the British Archaeological association,
but the explorations are said to have
j thrown 110 new light on the puzzle
these wonderful excavations present to
the antiquarian.
Who constructed them, in fact, uo-
I body knows nor for what purpose nor
j when.
Altogether there are about four miles
of passages, varying in height from
six feet io tin and in width between
! oue yard and lour.
They have been cut out of the solid
chalk at an enormous expenditure of
; time and labor, the walls showing ev
erywhere marks of the workmen's
picks.
An even greater mystery attaches to
the Dene holes of Essex and Kent, an
! clent artificial caverns in the chalk,
having deep, narrow, vertical en
trances.
1 Many of these entrances are fifty,
eighty or even a hundred feet In depth
j and three or four feet in diameter.
They pass straight down through the
! overlying sands and gravels into the
| chalk beneath, in which are excavated
! several large and lofty chambers, ar
j ranged symmetrically round the bot
! torn of the shaft.
All sorts of explanations have been
advanced to account for the existence
of Dene holes. Some authorities say
they are merely prehistoric chalk pits.
But this is obviously ridiculous, for
there is plenty of surface chalk to be
had In the neighborhood without sink
ing shafts for it.
Others assert that they were used as
places of refuge when an invader
I sailed up the Thames, but against this
may be urged the fact that the bottom
of a Dene hole would be about the last
place In the world in which a man
would care to be found by his enemy.
Another favorite theory with some
archa'ologists is that they constituted
the habitation of our forefathers In
days before the art of building was
known in this country. But no trace
of permanent habitation has been
found in any of them, and it Is much
to be feared that any race dwelling in
the Dene holes would quickly succumb
to ague and rheumatism.
Others have hazarded the theory that
they were prisons, subterranean chap
els, places of sepu'eber and even silos
for the storage of green fodder. But
all these explanations are mere guess
work.
Two facts about them only are cer
tain. < hie is that they are very an
cient. So long ago as the reign o*
Henry IV. people knew nothing of tne
race that excavated them anil attribut
ed them to the magic arts of the Brit
ish king Cunebeline. Another is that
the labor of constructing them must
have been enormous. It is estimated
that from one single group of Dene
holes in Hangman's wood. Essex, no
fewer than IJV'.OOn tons of chalk were
quarried and rais» d.
At Trelowarren, in Cornwall, are
some very remarkable subterranean
chambers and galleries, the original
use of which is i s uite unknown.
Some of the galleries are more than
ninety feet long and, though high
enough inside to r-llow of a man stand
ing upright, are approached only by
very low do >m- ys. through which
any one desiring ingress would have
to creep on his hands and knees.
Chambers and galleries alike are lined
throughout wish hewn stones, many of
which are of immense size.
Other similar but smaller under
ground structures have also been dis
covered at Boliet and I'endeen, in the
Land's End district, as well as in the
parish of St. Constantine and at San
creed, near Penzance.
It is well known also that subter
ranean galleries of precisely the same
character have been found bene sth the
old forts or "raths" of Ireland, and
from this circumstance some antliori
tics are indii cd to believe that they
were intended as storehouses for re
serve warlike stores, arms and provi
sions.
These Irish galleries, however, must
in nowise be <unrounded with the curi
ous beehive shaped underground cham
bers which are so abundant in < ouuty
Cork and elsewhere and which are call
ed by the peasants ••Dane holes" be
cause, they say. the Danes were wont
to hide in them in olden times.
This may have been so, by the way.
for many of these subterranean apart
ments would form excellent hiding
places, but they were certainly con
structed originally by the Irish them
selves at a period long anterior to the
advent of the Danish Invaders.
Probably they are allied to the
"Plcts' houses" of the Orkney islands,
which are either chambered tumuli or
underground dwellings, or both.
The rock "tombs" of the ancient
Etruscans are also of this category.
Men lived within them, and they also
burled their defunct relatives within
them, underneath the floor, just as the
Inuits do now. A few inches of earth (
sufficed to separate the living from
the dead. In Peru, again, are similar j
subterranean tumuli houses covering
thousands of acres of ground.
When the liritish conquered India
they thought the vast cave temples of
Ellora and elsewhere were the work
of giants, and in that belief they
were almost justified, for it even now
well nigh passes comprehension how
or by what means they were original-
J ly constructed.
From on? series of these alone it Is
estimated that there were excavated
1,000,000,000 tons of solid rock. Near
Aurangabad is a collection of splendid
subterranean temples, with single
chambers, and halls measuring 27k feet
deep by +SO feet wide, and these ex
tend for miles.
The roof is of living rock, supported
by hundreds of rock hewn pillars, and
all around are chapels, chambers and
cells. It, in fact, constitutes in its
entirety a sort of gigantic subterra
nean "holy city," just as would be
built nowadays above ground.
But of all artificial caves the cata
j combs at Borne have been the cause of
! most wonderment and speculation It
j Is estimated that there are altogether
about <'."(> miles of galleries, .he great
er portion of which is -~till unexplored.
Constructed for the most part be
tween the beginning of the second and
' the end of the fourth century as a
' ' species of subterranean ccnn tory, they
began to be disused as such so early
Mas I'.sn A. I».. and burial within them
1 entirely ceased with the sack of the
city by Alarie in -11 o A. D.
Afterward they came to constitute a
place of pilgrimage, but by degrees
' people interest in them, and their
very existent »; was at Utterly tor
•ottexi
Then on May 31, ir>7H. some laborers '
digging In tlie Campagna discovered a ,
sepulchral chamber. This resulted In
further excavations, and these In turn
revealed to the amazed inhabitants of
Rome "the existence," to quote a con
temporary account, "of other cities
concealed beneath their own."' ,
Of course the Itoman catacombs, al
j though ttie finest and most extensive, j
are not the only ones of their kind in [
the world. Near Naples, for instance, j
some very elaborate ones are to be ,
seen, with h subterranean church at- j
tached.
There are also others at Syracuse, j
which are unique iu that they are sup- j
poseii to have been of pagan origin; at
Ma 11a, beneath the foundations of the
ancient capital of the Island; at Taor
niina, in Sicily; at Alexandria, and else
where.
The so called "catacombs of Paris,"
it may be mentioned, are also regard
ed by the best authorities as being
merely disused quarries. But at Pog
glo (Jajella, near Chiusl. the ancient
Clusiuin, are some remarkable under
ground works of vast extent to which
neither this latter explanation nor that
given for the catacombs proper will
apply.
They consist, for the most part, of
low. winding, labyrinthine passages,
leading in and out of one another and
round and round in the most perplex
ing manner, but constantly conducting
the explorer back to a large circular
central hall, the roof of which is sup
ported by a massive cylindrical pillar
hewn from the living rock.
No plausible explanation has ever
been oiTetel regarding the original
purpose of this mysterious subterra
n< mi maze, although some archaeolo
gists b'iieve it to have been intended
as :i place of execution for criminals,
the condemned person being simply
turned loose therein and left to wan
der about in the cold and darkness uu«

when the elephant and rhinoceros, the
lion and bear, the hyena and wolf, the
great elk and the reindeer were among
the common animals of England, prim

caves in this region.
At the entrance to these cave» the
aborigines, clad in skin* kept tires
burning for warmth and for protection
from the wild beasts. It was here that
they made tiint hatchets, knives anil
arrowheads. Not long ago a trench
was being dug within the mouth of one
of these caves for the purpose of drain
ing.
It was found necessary to break up a
stalagmite lloor of two thick layers.
Between the layers WHS a deposit of
cave earth and stones, in which was
discovered the skeleton of a man of
very ureal antiquity in an excellent
state of preservation. With It were
found several tiint knives and flakes.
Experts who made a careful examina
tion of the skull, which has projecting
brows and receding frontal bone, have
decided that it belongs to the stone age
and Is of a type intermediate between
the paleolithic and neolithic ages
Apparently the body had Iwen placed
in a small passage leading off from the
great passages to the stalactite eaves
and had been prevented from disturb

rheumatism was to fasten the bands

SEEING A PICTURE.
Tr> In l.niil, ill It n*>ugb tit*
of the \rtiKt VMM Fainted It.
The tir.-t necessity the proper see
ing of a pi' ture is to try to see it
through the eyes of the artist who
painted it This is not a usual meth
od. Generally people look only through
their own eyes anil like or dislike a plc
-1 u; c according as It does or does not
suit il eir particular fancy. These peo
ple wiil tel 1 \ou, "Oh, I don't know
anything about painting, but 1 know
what 1 like." which is their way of say
ing. "If 1 don't like It right oil I don't
care to be bothered to like it at all."
Sti> h an attitude of mind cuts one
off from growth and development, for
it is as much as to say, "I am very
well satisfied with myself and quite
, Indifferent to the experiences and feel
ings of other men." Vet it la just this
feeling and experience of another man
} which a picture gives us. If you con
; sider a moment you will understand
, why. The world itself Is a vast pano
i ratlin, and from it the painter selects
his subject—not the copy of It exactly,
, since it would be Impossible for him
to do tiiis even if he tried. llow could
I he represent, for example, each blade
i of grass, each leaf upon a tree? So
what he does is to represent the subject
as he sees it. as it appeals to his sym
pathy or interest, and If twelve artists
1 painted the same landscape the result
1 would be twelve different pictures, dlf
-1 fering according to the way In which
each man had been Impressed by th«

seeing it. influenced by his Individual
