Mr. morning which after a blustery March revivesone's faith in the miracles of Nature. Exactly as a pretty girl re- vives one's faith! I admit that my faith had been revived several tines this morning. It seemed to me that all the lonely girls of the universe had. been laced in Central Parleand on the Avenue this morning, to tantalize me with thoughts of what might have been, I, who hued the world, loved it this morning, Yet it was the hopeless love of one who knows that the simple joys are denied to him. I felt a mois- ture welling beneath my lids; my eyes were filmy. Then I laughed at my sentimentality. I had made my choice months ago when, after years of des- perate struggle along the 'paths of honesty, I had given up the unequal battle and become oneof those who prey. girl would Suffice it that no young g ever be harmed by me—and even knowing me might some day cause her irreparable damage. As I have said in one of my previous memoirs, like Kipling's cat, I' walk. alone. So, because I .was in a softened mood, as well as because I am an artist and a gentleman, I felt a surge of pity for the hunchback, and a surge of wrath against the man who stood be- side him. For this latter person rub- bed'the''cripple's hump. Oddly enough, although the lout seemed none too gentle,, the cripple did not resent the action. Perhaps, poor. devil, hehad become so used to the brutalities of his fellows, that his spirit had lost its powers of resent- ment. A year or so ago, when I had been crushed by the brutalities of life, I would have felt no indignation at such a sight, I had then been unable to become angry at indignities heaped upon myself. Moralists would tell you that I had since lost, my soul, but I tell you that I had found it. A year ago an honest pian, I would have sneered cynically; today, a thief, I took the lout by the collar and threw him across the sillewalk. The north and south -bound traffic halted as the lights flickered on the towerdown the Avenue, the policeman blew his whistle and waved the pedes- trians to pass over. It was an op- portunity, and as my bewildered vic- tim climber unsteadily to his feet, muttering threats, I merged with the human tide and gained the doors of a hotel across the street, slipped through its reception -rooms and came out upon Fifty-ninth Street, certain that I had avoided pursuit, and not worrying about future recognition. As for the hunchback, he had not glanced my way. By extreme caution, I eliminate ac- cidents. Before I entered the auction - rooms which were my destination, I glanced over my shoulder to make cer- tain that no offensively right-minded person was guiding upon my trail the man Whom I had knocked down. If a policeman intervened in a street-browl in which I was concerned, it is con- ceivable that I might be asked my I/ ells Copyriclht 1994 NEA Service Inc. - THE JEWELLED CASKET I suppose; that the same quality of if he devotes his office Hours to septi- imagination whichlifts'me abovethe mental mooring's; these wore m3' office rest of those whom society is pleased livens, ,and 1 was here on :business, For to call outlaws,' is responsible for the where in the world' is one more likely feeling of 'indignation which' possesses to have oportunity to see and '.study me WhOil look upon any brutality.

Such bargains as my bit of tapestry only occurred when they were minor parts of as great collodion, Nearly everything else was priced in the thousan"ifs,, and dict not interest me, although occasionally i noted the names and addresses of the purchas- ers. And then came the Gerald jewel - box, Gerald was a. multimillionaire of vulgar antecedents and taste who ltad,clied a few years ago. Six months later, his widow had followed him, and they had left hears who chose to rid themselves of the miscellaneous collec- tion which the Geralds had acquired. I could not blame the heirs, for most of the Gerald` possessions were more suited to the walls or cabinets of a museum than to a private home, And when the auctioneer held up a golden box, studded with jewels, I felt embarrassment for him, compelled as he was to declare that this article was a work of arta It was about nine inches long, six Metes wide and four inches deep; and workmanship, even a with what -ought -to -be than the mater- ial -minded man of business, resents any imperfection, whether it be of the body or of the spirit.' And here were both! The hunch- back, imperfect of body—and the sup- erstitious lout, imperfect . of spirit, who stroked the hump, They were standing on the curb, at the corner of Fifty-ninth Street and Fifth Avenue, waiting for a break in traffic which would permit them to cross the street.

Redruth and Camborne and to : stand on the ground made famous by the tale at Arthur Pendragon, in the north. The chief interest at Tintagel, of - course, is the ruined castle, which is popularly referred to as King Arthur's castle, and so represented to tourists. Regardless of the truth of this' claim, he spot has genuine historic associa- tions of later date, though it is now generally acknowledged that the crumbling ruins are of a period post- erior to the Norman Conqueror, A few English writers, however, moved to defend the legends of the Pendra- gon, have declared it possible that th castle, or some mansion or: dwell - ng, must have existed there before the Conquest; that It was later' re- stored by the Normans in their own, particular style. At any rate, there must' have been some sort of castle on the Island of, Tintagel, or Tintagol, when Geoffrey of Monmouth, the most believable of the early writers, recorded his ver- sion' er sion' of the Arthurian .legend about the year 1147. At the close of that century, it seems evident, the Norman family of De Hornacot, seated at Haruacot in North. Tameetori, had a grant of the manor of Bossinney, in- cluding, no doubt, the Island cf' Tint- agel. They thereafter took the name of Tintagel as a part -of the=family name, which is thought to indicate that there was some castle or man- sion on the island for them to reside, in. Cliff Now Owned by Church ° The isle of Tintagel: and the ruins upon it now belong to the Prince of Wales, as Duke 01 Cornwall. Much of the other land of especial note in the region is similarly protected for pos• - terity, But the area along Church Cliff, which is attached to tiro -glebe and of the vicarage of Tintagel, is the property of the Church, and as such may be sold at any time, pro-'_ video proper authority is obtained from the Ecclesiastical Commission ors.

But the thing was.too gorgeous, too flamboyant, and one readily believed the auctioneer's statement that the late 'Mr. Joseph Gerald hail himself superintended the designing and the manufacture of the box. One also believed, without hesi- tation that it had cast" -'the multi- cillionaire over ninety thousand dol- lars. Certainly the precious stones that studded it were worth at least fifty thousand. But the very idea that had given birth to the box was vulgar. It had been intended to be the receptacle for certain jewels of Gerald's wife. The thing angered me. Artists in precious metal had been debauched by Gerald's money and forced to prosti- tute their gifts for beauty in order to gratify a- milloinaire's vulgar whim. I wondered that anyone save a dealer in gold and jewels, who proposed to buy the thing for its intrinsic value, should bid upon it. But Gerald's death had -not rid the worldofvulgarity. The bidding opened at ten thousand dollars, and progressed rapidly to twenty-five thousand,- confined to men whom I intuitively knew were dealers. Then another man took a hand. His clothing alone stamped him for what he was, a newly enriched vulgarian. For his coat was cut in the extreme of Broadway fashion; his neckwear was an offense to a gentleman, and the soli" taire diamond that gleamed from ft» silken folds. must have weighed a dozen carats. He had not been born to money; long acquaintance with it would have inculcated in him a few, at least, of the fundamentals of correct attire.
