The Palace of Darkened Windows By-* MARV HASTINGS BRAf)LEY Thinking., all these brightly re vengeful thoughts she had been ob livious to the many turnings of the motor, tho It had occurred to her that they were taking more time than the Car had needed to appear, and now she looked out the window and flaw that they were in a narrow street lined with narrow houses, whose upp&r stories, slightly project ing1 in little bays, all presented the elaborately grilled facades of mash-' rubiyeh work which announced the barred quarters of th£ jyomen, the haremlik. Arlee loved to conjure up a roman tic thrill for llie mysterious East by reflecting that behlncl these obscur ing screens were women of all ages and conditions, neglected wiYes and youthful favorities, •'eager girls and revolting: brides, whoso myriad eyes, bright or dull or gay or bitter, were peering. Into. the tiny,-. cleverly ar ranged mirrors which gave them a tilted Viewer tho streets. It was the sense of these watching eyes, the^e hidden,'women, which made those: acr^i^ed Endows so starring to her young imagination.* The- motor whirled out of the nar row street and Jnto one that was' much wider andr lined by houses that were detached ajjid separated, appar ently, by gardens,- for there was a firOftuenfc waving of, paJm^ over the high walls which linel the road.

She ndt realized how odd it would -*eel to-be 4h this foreign- house with the G&ptalja at her heels. There was a door at the top of the stairs ptaiuling open into a long, spacious ropm which seemed shroud edL. in (twllipht aft^r the. sunflooded COurt.

She raised her hea^d without rising, to look at the 'enteiixig coiiple, and for a start led? second Arlee had the half hys terical fear that this squatting soloist was the -tiHste and 'arlstrocratic rep resentative of the hkutmonde of Mos lem which the Captain had brought her to see, but the next instant an other figure appeared in a ^doorway and came slowly toward them. Flying to the winds wefit Arlee's anticipations of somber elegance: She "saw the most amaahigly vivid creature that she had ever laid eyes on—a woman, young, tho not In her first youth, penciled,' powderedi painted, her hair a brilliant red, her gown a brilliaiit green. After the first shock of scattering amazement, Arlee became intensely aware of a pair of yellow-brown eyes controll ing' Her with a faintly smiling and rather mocking interrogation. The dark of kohl about the eyes empha sized a certain slant diablerie of line i'}• and a faint penciling- connected with the high and supercilious arch of the brows. Henna flamed on t^ie pointed tips of the finger^ blazoned with glittering rings, and Arlee funcied the brilliance of the hair was due to this san^e generous assistance of nature. "My soul!" thought the girl swift ly, "they do tcet themselves up!" The Captain had .stepped forward, speaking quickly in Turkish, with a' hard-aoundlng rattle of words. The sister glance^ tat'him with \i deep ening ,o£ that furious air of mockery and let fall two words in the same tongue. Then she turned to Arlee. "Je suis ench'antee—d'nvoir hon wour—cet honneur inatten.du—r—'" She'did not look remarkably en chanted, however, Tho eyes tha-t played appraisin^Iy over lien* pretty caller had a quality' of carious hard ness, of race hostility, perhaps, the antagonism of the iSust for the West, ^the Old fir the New Not all'the mod ^rnity of clones, of manners, of ^languago, affected whut_Ai4ee rcit in tcneely aa theVfitVa-ngre, vivid f-.-reign ness pf her.

She had no illuxions about her French It did very well In a shop or a restaurant, but It was ^apt to peeter out feebly in polite conversa tion. Certainly it was no ves«*el for voyaging in untried seas. There were simply loads of things, she thought discouragedly, the things she wanted most to ask, that she would not be able to find words for. Aloud she was saying, "1 am so glad to have the lioiior of beinijr here. E am only sorry that my French is sq bad. But perhaps you can under stand- "I understand," assented the Turk ish woman, faintly smiling. The Captain had brought forward iittle gilt chairs of a French' design which seemed oddly out Of place ,in this room of the East, and the three soated themselves, out oi ptace. too, seemed the grand piano\which Ar lee's eyes, roving now past her hos tess, discovered for the first time. "It was so kind of you," began Ar lee again as the silence seemed to be politely waiting upon her, "to send your automobile for me." "Ah—my automobile!" echoed the woman on a higher note, and laugh ed, with a flash of white teeth W t\veen cai'mined lips. "It pleased you?" "Oh, yes,, it Is splendid! the girl jleclared, in sincere praise. "It\ is one of the most beautiful 1 have' ever seen." "I enjoy It very much—that auto mobile!" said the other, again laugh ing-, with a quick turn o£. her ejres toward the brother, Negligently, rather. caressingly, the young man murmured a few Turkish words. She shrugged and leaned back \n her chair, the flash of an-r motion gone. "And Cairo—£K^t pleases you" she asked of Allee, Stumbling a little in. her French, but resolutely rushing over the diffi culties, Arlee launched Into the ex pression of how very much It pleased her. Everybody was beautiful tb her. Th,e color, the Sky, the mosques, the mlna'tets, the Nile, the pyramids— they were all wonderful. And the view from the Great Pyramid—*-ahd tl^ejv sne stopped, w.ondering if that wei-e, not beypnd her hOSkess's\ ex perience. in confirmation of the thought the Turkish lady smiled, with an effect of disdain. "Ascend the pyrtAiids— that Is indeed' too much for us," she 'said, "But nothing is too much for you Americans—no?''. Her curious glance traveled slow ly from Arlee's flushed and lovely face, under the rose-crowned* It was a relief to have the Qaptaiij suggest music. At their polite in sistence Arlee went to .the piano and did her best with a piece of Mac Dowell. Then the sister took her turn, and to her-surprise Arlee found herself listening to an exquisite in terpretation of some of the most dif ficult of Brahms. The berlnged and tinted fingers touched the notes with rare delicacy, and brought from the piano a quality So vivid ancl poig nant in appeal that Arlee could dream that here the player's very life and ,m#? 1 hat, down over the filmy white gown and white-gloved hands clasping an Ivory card 9a se, to tlie stnall, White-shod feet and silken ankles. Arlee did not resent the deliberate scrutiny In coming to gaze she had been offering herself ,to be gazed upon1, and stye was conscious that the three of, 'r them presented a most piquant group in this dim and spacious old room of the East—the modern American girl, the cosmopolitan young officer in his Y*vid uniform, and this sefquest ered W9man, of a period of, traiisltlon where th$, koljl .and henna of the odalisque contrasted with a coiffure and gown from "Paris. ''Slowly-and disconnectedly the un inspiring co&versation^p progressed. Once, -when It appeared halted for ever, Arlee cast a helpless look at the Captain and intercepted a sharp glance at his sister^ -JIndeed, Arlee thought, that sister was not! distin guishing herself by her grateful courtesy) to this guest who was brightening" the tristesse of, her se cluded day, but perhaps this was duo to her Orlnetal languor or the limita tions of their medium of speech- W ,, A Jyp-J-V A y' V/ */, i-Afy Vt -y?

Vhe last note fell softly Into si lence, and with her hands still on the keys the woman looked up over her shoulder at her brother, looked witty an intentness oddly provocative .and prolonged.. And tor the first time Arlee caught the quality of sudden and untoifreseen attraction in her. and realize*! that this insolence of color. this flaunting 11 air anu painted mouth flight have their place in some scheme of allurement outside her oiven standards. And then sud denly she felt queerly sorry for her, touched by the quick jarring bltter .neSs of a chord the woman sudden ly struck, drowning the laughing 1 words the Captain had murmured to her.^. Arlee felt vaguely indig nant at him. No one wanted to have jokes tossed at her when the had 1 just poured her heart out in music. The Captain was on his feet, mak :ing his adiei&. Now that the ladles were acquainted, I10 would leave them to discuss the modes and other l'emine Interests. He wished Miss Beeclier a delightful trip upon the [Nile and hoped to see her upon her return, and she could be sure that everything would be arranged for er. "When she had had her tea and ished to leave, the motor would re turn her to the hotel. He majde a rapid speech in Turkish to his sis ter, bowed formally to 'Arlee over a last au revoir' and was gone. j' ft Immediately the old woman enter ed with a tray of tea things, the same old woman who had' been squatting by the window, but who jhad noiselessly loft the room during the music. She was followed by a bewitching little girl of about ten with another tray, who remained to' (serve while the old woman shuffled slowly away. Arlee was struck by the informality of the service tho servants appeared to be underfoot like rugs they came and went at will, unregarded. The tea was most disappointingly Ordinary, for the pat of butter bore the rose stanjp of the English dairy and the bread was English bake, but the sweetm^ts were dellciously nov el, resembling nothing Arlee had seen in the shops, and new, too, was the sip of syrup which completed the refreshment.

When a royal personage died in Tibet he was buried with all his jewels and precious^ |"obes. To add a still highefr tribute, the most beau tiful young women of his court were suffocated and embalmed upon the day of the funeral. This conserved their beauty, and they were placed in a. standing posi tion around the tomb of their master, .each holillng some trinket used by the royal personage 4uring his life time. _' To protect these treasures' from vandals the Tibetans erected an arch of sharply pointed arrows, anrl 1 whoever passed under this trod on a release, which discharged the arrows in quick succession.

New York, Nov. 27.—What grim fate has been stalking David Edstrom pre-eminent American sculptor, thru his entire strange career? And why? He was born in Smaland, Sweden, and came to America with his par ents when he was 7 years old. Barely able to speak English, he went out on the streets of Ottum wa, Iowa, and sold newspapers. Even then he aspired to become an artist. Finally, knowing that art centered somewhere In Europe, he quit his Job a^i an engine wiper in a factory and announced to his paren|ts he was go ing to Europe. "Crazy," said they. But Edstrom went. From New York he secured a Job as stoker on a steamer bound for a North Sea SJort. Arriving at Copenhagen, he pre sented himself at the Royal Academy to find only a chosen few could enter and only after two years pf prepar ation at the Polytechnical school. Starving, slaving and hardly sleeping, he made his way thru those two years and gained hlB Victory, eriferlns the Rpyal Academy in a blase of' glory.' Living on the proceeds of his work as a super in the Royal Opera house, Edstrom had his flrst success when he sold his first real piece, "Spring," for 11,000. About this same time his wife suddenly packed up and left London for Paris! So Edstrom returned to Stockholm with his ears ringing with praise for his work, but with an empty heart. Finally he came to America, in 1915. only to And that America, torn by the emotions of war, had no place for. a sculptor and ha_coulf not eurte- a single commission, being finally forced to become a private tutor 'at ftewanee university in Ten nessee.
