CHAPTER VI. at was just at this period that Mies Trevanion became aware of a certain 141e failing of Eddie's about whicli elle had hitherto been ignorant. It colem to her knowledge in this wise: Ode hunting morning, during' the chilly early breakfast, at which sbe always presided, her father haying a prejudice in favor of the coffee ad-; enaistered by her fair hands, it so happened that the post arrived rather more than twenty minutes before the usual hour, and consequently the earl- ous letters were handed to the assem- bled men to peruse at their pleasure, while getting through the agreeable task of devouring cold game -pie. "Two for you," said Sir George, and he flung Eddie a brace of missives that fen a little short of his coffee cup, and lay with the blank sides turned upper- most. One had a large square en- velope, and crimson splashing crest arid coronet, singularly tinfeminine, which attracted general attention for a moment, Mildred, idly toying with a tea- spoon, looked up a minute later and noticed that the lad's face had grown wonderfully dull and pale for him, and that he Was staring at the now open letter with a pained gravity un- usual in his case. "Hoe she .bowled you out, Trovan - Ion?" asked young Cairns, with a gay. thoughtless laugh, from the far end of the table, Where he sat near tao other men of hie regiment staying txt King's Abbott for a few days' hunting, "Regularly knocked you over, eh? You look like it," • "Not quite so bad as that," Eddie answered, the dejected expression dise ar•pearing altogether from his teen. tenance With each rapidity that Allw Trevanion, still watching, eoneluded her fears had been groundlees, and dis- missed the ineident, as meaning noth- ing, from her mind. Later on toward the evening, how- ever, wandering leisurely up -stairs to dress for dinaer, and having omelet to pass through the picture gallery, beyond which lay many .of the bed- rooms, her own amongst the number, she beheld nddin at a distant window, his head Dressed against the painted gins% his entire attitude ItuggestIve 01 deeptdr, idven as she looked there arose before her a vision of broken bread and half -cut pasties, with leueb plate and ehine, and a geadily-crested envelope lying in their Midst.

The, building of the Temple at the Acropolis of Athens eves continence(' during the administration of Pericles, about the year 448 B.C., and occupied eleven years in building. It was con- structed entirely of white marble, •trorb Mount Pentelicum. CaliCrates and ictintis Were the arChitects. The sculpture:3 were produced partly by tbe hand and partly under the direc- tion of Phidias, perhaps the greateet most versatile, SealPtor of all time, and certainly the Phldias was an Athenian -born 48tt B:C, He was at first 0 painter, anti afterwards became famous as a sculp- tor, in many materials, besides mar- ble. He wee a great worker in ivory etatues and was unrivalled in the art of making statues in bronze, Wood and claye-ana probably glass-- were material e used by hini also. His talent lay chiefly in representing the gods of mythology, though as Cicero ob- servee "he did not copy the features and resemblances from any visible ob- jects, but formed to himself an idea of true beauty upon which be con- stantly fixed his attention and which became his rule and model and guided at once both his design and hand." • The series of sculptures forming the .frieze adorning the Parthenon repre- sented the Solemn quinquennial pro- cession to the Temple of the Pena- therme, at which the whole people were represented, As a connected subject this was the most extensive piece of scnIpture ever made in Greece, its total length being 524 feet. Tee principal feature of the frieze was the train of horsemen represent- ing Athc,niazt citizens who eerveci in the cavalry, the rank and wealth of the horsemen being aefinel by the dresses and armor they wore. The homes in this section of the frieze aro of exquisite .beauty, and of the one bemired- and ten who are introduced no two are in the same attitullei anO each is characterized by a marked dif- ference of exproision.

Ho said: "They appear to live and move, to roil their eyes, to gallop, prance and corvet; the veins of their faces and legs seemed dietencled with cir- culation; in them are distinguished the hardness and decision of bony forms, from the elasticity of tendon and the softness of flesh.

The average farmer in the United States •and Canada probably does not give a thought to the State of Yuca- tun from one year's end to tile other, He doubtless never stops to think of that country on the sodtneastern coast of Mexico which projects out like a boot Into the Gulf of Mexico lend the Caribbean Sea. ' He Will think of Yucatan many a time, however, before he gets his bind- er twine nextsummer'for twine will be higher than it has been for years, and the farmer does not like to pay useless toll or tribute to anyone when he buys his necessities.. This year he will pay for the sisal fibre end' for hauling it on the ships and railroads and for spinning it into twine itt the American faetories, as he has always done, and which he is willing to do. But, in addition, he will also pay a liberal tau to the military Govern- ment of Yucatan and another liberal sum to the American bankers who are loaning the necessary money to maintain a complete control of the sisal nutrket. Why the prices will be so high IS explained thus In 1912 the Yucatan Government appointed a commission to buy and hold sisal when prices were low, In order to inaintain fair Prices. This commission, known lie the Regulating Conimittee, melntains a great Monopoly and a decree Issued on December 3, 1915, compels all Yu- catan growers of sisal to tell their fi- bre tO the Regulating Committee. That is why binder Witte Is high and Is likely to be higher.
