9 CABIRIA
H (Continued from Pago 11)
H A slave girl, taking pity on them, gave them
H water to drink through the iron bars of their
K prison. The slave was Cabiria, but they did not
H recognize her.
H Sophonlsba, the daughter of Hasdrubal, dis-
turbed by dreams, was convinced thlt her coun
try's misfortune (Carthage being (besieged by
the Romans) was due to the wrath of the god,
Moloch. She helieved that this was her punish
ment for having taken from him the victim
destined for him.
Sophonlsba confided In the priest, Karthalo,
whom she asked to interpret her dreams, and
presented Elissa to him. The priest recognized
in her the little Cabiria who was torn away from
him ten years before in the temple by the Roman
slave, Maclste.
iMadste, from a hiding place, heard . the in
terview between the priest and the girl, and
learned that she was the long lost Caibiria, now
grown to beautiful womanhood, and called
Elissa.
He heard the priest tell Elissa the price she
must pay to him for her life. Maciste inter
vened, saved Elissa, and killed the high priest.
But he and Fulvius were again overpowered by
force of numbers and Elissa v sent back to
Sophonlsba, who condemned her to die.
But Sophonlsba herself died "by poison,
rather than submit to the Itoman yoke, and out of
gratitude to Fulvius, who procured her the poi
son, restored Elissa- to him.
The war ended. The Roman vessels again
sailed over the sea where the naval victories
proclaimed Rome's triumph. On one of the ves
sels Fulvius and Elissa returned to Italy, where
they were united in marriage.
The third century, B. C, the historic epoch
of which some of the great episodes are here re
lated in Action form, affords perhaps the most
tragic spectacle In the struggle of races that the
world has ever seen. The events and heroes of
that time seemed to he inspired by the mightiest
forces of nature. The breath of war kindles the
peoples until they become like malleable lava
which Rome is endeavoring to fashion after her
own image. Adversity Illustrated (by the invas
ion of Hannibal, "in armor born" seems to
deepen rather than efface the impression of that
mighty stamp. Peace, which Rome alone can
give to the Mediterranean shores, is only an
empty expression, even on the lips of Q. Fabbius.
Like his own rude toga, the soul of Rome swells
only to a fearless, battling will. No force of na
ture equals in its unrelenting rhythm the unflag
ging power of Rome, founded by the barbaric
hero In whom the warlike energy of Italic Mars
is mingled with the mysterious spirit of the
Oriental Vesta
In this historic vision we witness the supreme
conflict of two antagonistic races, iboth animated
by the very genius of fire, "all-puissant Sire, all
subduing, all devouring, everlasting artisans."
Hence, the innocent creature who passes unharm
ed among the clash of mutable fates is called
Cabiria, a name that evokes the volcanic demons,
flaming, unseen artisans, ceaselessly forging the
durable, indestructible matter. Hence, the vision
of the flaming island which the Herculean hand
of the Doric people seems to have moulded to .
the type of perfect grandeur. The mountain
which had been the mystic sepulchre of Empl
docles tunes In this vision the original rhythm of
life and death, of creation and destruction, of
splendor and decline.
Prodigious events, amazing triumphs, sudden
ruins. This power of man appears boundless
since the Macedon surpassed in valor Hercules
and Bacchus, the demigod and the god. Bestial
yet divine, force advances by formidable leaps,
touching the earth only to increase its impetus.
The verdict of Pyrrhus "of the helmet adorned
with ram's horns" is naught but the -word of an
oracle "hovering over the world. "To whom will
the prize fall? To him whose blade cuts deep
est." That is, to the Roman with his short,
broad, sharp-pointed sword.
Behold the realization of that which was never
before seen on earth, nor over Inscribed In the
annals. A mighty civilization collapses at a
stroke, with its monstrous ido , with its virtues
old and new, with its sadness id its greed, with
its impatient yearning for dominion, with its in
glorious craze for adventurous deeds. It falls
like a meteor, leaving nothing ibut a little smoke, v
a little ashes. The periplus of Annonis, a few
corroded coins, some verses by Plautus naught
but these remain of the rude Carthaginian world. ' '
Not so easily forgotten was the dust of children
sacrificed in the gaping pit of Moloch.
"Who now sings of the Punic wars?" says
the last epigram in Anacreontic style, accom
panied by the flute of Pan. And only the sparks
