Praxiteles and Phryne.
BY W, XV. STORY,
The poem wo print this mornlnff Is by VS. Vf. Story, whoso atitoRraph find
blORfaphical sketch have already appeared In this sorlos. Praxiteles wae on?
of tho most famous sculptors that Greece produced aud Phryne was tho most
beautiful .vornan of hot' time, Both Praxiteles and Phryne llvod in tho hey?
day of Athen** glory. _
A THOUSAND silent years ago,
The twilight i'aint ?and pale
Was drawing o'er the sunset glow
Its soft and shadowy veil;
When from his work the Sculptor stayed
His hand, and, turned to one
Who stood beside him, half \n shade,
Said, with a sigh, " 'T is done.
?'Thus much is saved from chance and change,
That waits for me and thee;
Thus much?how little I?from the range
Of Death and Destiny.
''Phryne, thy human lips shall pale,
Thy rounded limbs decay?
Nor love nor prayers can aught ava^l
To bid thy beauty stay;
"But there thy smile for centuries
On marble lips slftill live?
For Art can grant what Love denies,
And rbc the fugitive.
"Sad thought I nor. age nor death shall fade
Thy youth of this cold bust;
When this quick brain and hand that made,
And thou and I are dust t
; "When all our hopes and fears are dead, ,
And both our hearts are cold,
? And love is like a tune that's played,
And life a tale that's told.
"This senseless stone, so coldly fair,
That love nor life can warm,
The same enchanting look shall wear,
The same enchanting form.
"Its peace no sorrow shall destroy;
Its beauty age shall spare
The bitterness of vanished joy,
The wearing waste of care.
"And there upon that silent face
Shall unborn ages see
Perennial youth, perennial grace,
And sealed serenity.
- "And s'trangers, when we sleep in peace,
Shall say, not quite unmoved,
'So smiled upon Praxiteles.
The Phryne whom he loved !' "
This serlos began In The TUnes-Dls'intcli Sunday, October II, 1003. One Is published each day.

Thero was a little pause. Jack Mero
dilh waited politely to hear if she hud
anything further to nay. Ills cloan-cut
face was Quite pallid; the suppressed
anger in his eyes was perhaps more dif?
ficult to meet than open fury. The man
who nover forgets himself beforo a wo?,
man is likely to bo an absolute mastor

"I think," ho added, "that thcro is

There was a dead alienen. Mllllcent
Chyno glanced towards Guy Osoard, lio

the mistake wus all his, that sho writ*
quite right, that his own vanliy hajd
blinded him Into a great and unwarranted
pwssumption. But,? unfortunately, he was
only , u human being?a ninn who was
ready to give aa full a measure as Im
exacted. The unfortunate mistake to
whloh lie clung was mat the same senso

pliant feminine form- Guy On card we?
quite sure of hit own Impressions- This
girl hail allowed hlni to begin loving her,
liad encouraged him to go ou, hud led
him to believe that his Jove was returned.
And m his ?Imple ignorance of the world
he did not see why theso matters should

mistaken sense of chivalry |o be accord?
ed where no chivalry was due.
"No." he answered. "Tini? is noth?

Without looking towards her, Jack

She listened with compressoci lips and
heaving shoulders; and tho bitterest drop
In her cup was the knowledge that ho
despised her, During the last.fow min?
utes ho had said and done nothing that
lowered him In bor estimation?that
inuche'd In nny way her love for him.

lingering hope. Sho could never regain

"1 think," ho went on, "that you will

her.
It was characteristic of hor that at

weight of her own remorse, It sat light?

only later on, when her beauty began to
fade, when years eume and brought no
joy for the middle-aged unmarried wo?
man, that sho began to realize what It
was that she had to carry through life

CHAPTER NLII.

"Still must the man move sadlior for the
dreams
That mocked tho boy."
"When? nro you going?" naked ?/.cre?

"llonio."
They walked en a few paces together,
"May i como with you?" asked Mere?
dith again. ?
'Verialjily; I hive a good deal to toll
you"
Thoy called a i*ab, and, singularly
enough, they drovo all tho way to llnssell
tf'iuare without speaking. These two
tuen had worked together for many
moil th?. and men who ha.ve a dally task
In common usually learn io perform It
without much Interchange of observation.
When one man gets to know the mind of
another, conversaiIt'U assumes a place of
Secondar}? Importance. Thes-i two had
been through more Incidents' together
than usually fall to the lot of man?each
knew how iho other would act and think
Wider given circumstances ; emm knew
what the otlisr was thinking now.
Th* house In llussell Si-u arc. th?' quiet
house In the corner where the culis do not
pass, was lighted up and astir when they
icacrieil It. The old butler held open the
door w(th a smile of welcome ?ini a faint
aroma of whiskey. The .luggage had been
dl.-vreetly removed Joseph had gone to
.Mr. ?Meredith's chambers. Guy Oscard
led tho way to' the sinomng'rooiii at
Um back of the houss-?the rpgm wherein
thu e??eiHrlo Oscard had written his
great history?the room 111 which Victor
Durnovo had first suggested the Simla
cine scheme to the historian's son.
The two survivors of the originating
trio passed Into this room together, and
closed the door behind them.
"The worst of one's own private tragedies
Ik that they are usually only comedies In
dlsg-uiee," said Jock Mer?dl'b, oracularly.
C?uy Oscard grunted. He was looking
for Ids pipe.
"If we hoard this of any two fellows
except ourselves wo should think it an
excellent Joke," wont on Meredith,
Oscnrrl nodded. He lighted his pipo,
and still ho said nothing.
"Hang it!" exclaimed Jack Meredith,
suddenly throwing himself back-In blu
chilli?, "it is a gopd Joke."
He laughed softly, and all the while his
eyes, watchful, wise, upxlous, were study?
ing Guy Oscard's face.
'tilo la harder lilt than I nm," he was
reflecting.,, ."Poor old Oscard!"
The habit of self-suppression w*aa so
strong upon him?acquired as a more
social duty?that it waa only natural for
him to think loss of himself than of tho
expediency of the moment. Tho soclnl?
discipline Is as powerful an agent as that
military disciplino that makes a niun
throw away his own life for tno good, of
tlio many,
Oscard laughed, too, |n a strangely
staccato manner,
"It la rather a sudden change," ob?
served Meredith; "and all brought about
by ?f??? coming into that room at that
particular manient?by accident,"
"Not by accident," correutod Oscard,
speaking nt last, "I was brought thoro
aiifl pushed Jnto tlio rooi)|."
"By wliotn?"
"Hy your father."
Jack Meredltli sftt upright. Ho drew his
curved bund slowly down over h|s face?
koen and doUeata as was his. mind?his
ey??q deep with thought.
"Tho guv'noi?," he said, slowly. "The
guv'nor-by Qpd!"
Ho reflected for some seconds.
"Toll me how he did II," lie snld,
curtly.
Oscard told him, rather Incoherently,
between the puffs. He did pot attempt
tu make a etory of It, but merely re?
Interi the facts as they had happened to
him. It 1? probable that to him the act
was veiled which Jack suw quite dis?
tinctly
"That. Is the sort of thing," was More
tilth's comment when the story wae fin?
itimi, "that takes tho oonoelt out of a
follow, J suppose ? havo more than rny
share. I suppose It Is good for mo to find
that 1 am not no clever as I thought t
was?that there are plenty of cleverer
fellows about, and thnt one of them Is
an ol?t man of seventy-nine. The worst
of it Is that ho was right all Along. He
saw clearly where you nnd 1 were?
(iauinalily blind."
fis rubbed his slim, brown hand? to?
einher. ,uul lookt?! ?jurons 4t lila com?
panion with a smile wherein tho youth?
ful self-confidence was less dUeamlbla
than 01 yore. The smile faded as he
looked tit 0?card. He was thinking that
he looked older and graver?mure of a
mlcldlo-nged mini wlio bus left something
holilnd lilni in life?and the sights re?
minded him ot tlio lew gray Imlrs that
iveia above his own temples.
"Come." he said, more cheerfully,, "tell
mo your news, I?et us chungo the sub?
ject, J,c-i us throw aude liyiu dalliance
and return to questions of'money. More
Important?much more satisfactory. I
suppose you havo Jeft Durnovo In charge?
Has Joseph come home with you?"
"Yea, Joseph has come home with me.
Durnovo Is dead."'
??Dead!"
Ouy Oscard took his pipe from his lips.
'?Ilo died at MBala of the sleeping sick?
ness. Ho was a bigger blackguard than
wo thought. He was a slave-dealer and a
slave-owner. Those forty men we picked
up at Msula wuro slaves belonging to
him." L
"Aclil" It was a strange exclamation,
aa If ho had burned his fingers. "Who
knows of this"'" ho asked, immediately.
Tho expediency of tho moment had pre?
sented Itself to hie mind again, ,
"Only ourselves," returned Oscard.
?'You, Joseph and I."
"That Is all right, and the sooner wu
forget that the better, ft would bo u
dangerous btory to toll."/" J
"Bo I concluded," said Oscard, In his
slow, thoughtful way. "Joseph swoars
ho won't breathe a word of ft."
Jack Meredith nodded. He looked
rather palo beneath tho light of tho gas.
"Joseph Is nil right," ho eald. "Go on."
"lit was Joseph who found It out," con?
tinued Oscard. "up nt tho Plateau, l?
paruded tho whole crowd, told thorn what
I hs.d found tint, npd chucked up the
whole concern in your nume ?nd mine.
Next morning I nhandoned tiio Plateau
with such men as cared to come. Nearly
half of them stayed with Durnovo. I
thought it was In order that they might
share In Ihe Rlmlaclno?I told them thoy
could havo Iho whole eonfouiidod lot of
the ?tuff. Hut It was not that; they
tricked Durnovo there. They wonted tq
gHt him to themselves. Tn going down
Ihe river we had an accident with two of
thu boats, which necessitatiti staying at
Msahi- While we wei'e walling there, one
night after 10 o'clock, the poor devil came,
nlone, In a canoe. They had simply cut
him In sllces?-a most beastly sight. 1
wako dp sometimes even now dreaming
of it, and I am not a fanciful sort of,

was simply sick; ? didn't know that you
could be made alck by anything you _nw,
Tha sleejilnq? sickness was on Durnovo
then; ho had brought It with him from
tliu Pin lea?. Ho died before morning."
Oscard ceased speaking and returned tn
his pipe. Jack Meredith, looking hagard
und worn, was loaning back In his chair.
"Poor devil!" he exclaimed, "There was
always something; tragic about Durnovo.
I did hate that pian. Oscard! I hated him
and all his works."
"Well, he's gone to his account now,"
"Yes, but that does pot make him any

let us cant about him now, The men

deserved all he got."
