In these days she accepted nearly every thing without question. When the woman she had seen with Brancaster on the day he was known to her merely as the artist called at Falconhurst and asked-to be al lowed to sit by the side of Brancaster the girl had led her without question to the bedchamber, though her grand father had subsequently seen that a footman performed that office. Lady Diana had not inquired as to the woman visitor anything more than her name The “Mrs. D’Aquila” she had re ceived told hp- nothing and she did not ask other information as to the dark, foreign appearing wofhan who seemed to take Brancaster’s injury »<• deeVly to heart. 1 here was within Lady Diana a deep spiritual sense She felt that the stricken earl might di indeed, she had beard It so whispered, though the marquis tried to spare her such thoughts as these. She felt in her pure consciousness of small sin that if he died without receiving the benefit of the Church of England, or of any clergyman, there would be a cloud upon both his chances in a. world which might understand him better and upon her own conscience. She. could not* for get those murmured words as the car shot by her, and that waving of the hand. Surely “that within us which makes for righteousness’’ could not ignore such a spirit. His was a rare soul, which must have Its change in that void into which it hourly seemed about to escape. So she had dispatched a note to the vicar, innocently unmindful of the fact that “Sporting Jack - ’ Thorpe rode far better to hounds than he did to grace, and that even theft he was taking the cure for gout far from the village the great name of which was Beverley. Lady Di and Sartoris. Today, just as the sun was about to set, she was waiting on the terrace of the Italian garden for the appearance of Thorpe in answer to her summons. As she walked to and fro along the terrace, with many glances down the little path known to her friends who did not wish to drive three miles along the road through the acres of the marquis before they reached the castle, she was joined , by her cousin. Captain Greville Sartoris. 'l'lie captain was, as usual, “devilishly bard up,” and he was trying to evolve away to make “a killing.” To him Lady Diana expressed her fear that Brancaster might die before a cler gyman could see him. “My dear Di.” exclaimed Sartoris, “he's just as likely to come to himself and wake I up as .he is to kick off. and when he does wake up. mind you, DI, he won’t ask for any parson. He’ll ask for the lady who is silting by him now.” * The birth of what may have been jeal ousy began in Lady Diana. It was not strong, and merely manifested itself at this moment by a curiosity not usual with this gentle, though self contained, English girl. “Greville. who is Mrs. D’Aquila?” she asked suddenly. There was astonishment in her cou sin's face, as he realized that the ordi narily self sufficient Diana, who usually was content with the personal knowledge that her own senses conveyed to her. had [ asked him a question on a plane with • those asked by the ordinary members of ' her sex. Nevertheless, he did not pause lin his answer. “Oh, you know. DI. she was staying at i 1 lievers when the smash came—staying I there with a very tame chaperone—oh. i she <loes everything very correctly ; “But who is she, Greville?” “She was a married woman moving in | good, society,” said Sartoris. “She is—er [ - -still received in some society. She is i exactly the sort of woman who suits the i Brancaster sort of man. She is not the sort of woman Beverley would wish me to discuss with you.” He stopped and looked into her face. She seemed abstracted, musing upon something very far away. He tlanight that there was a look of tenderness on her face. Perhaps this wasn’t the right moment —but he was rather hard up. you know, and they were alone. Who could tell when they would be so again, and the girl was heir to much. It wan worth ' ' trying. Sartoris cut in on her thoughts | | with : "The more I see> of women like Mrs. I D'Aquila. the sweeter, the fresher, the I dearer seem the natural, real, true girls ; the girls like you. DI. You've been an 1 awfully good pal to me. and I want to 1 see you— I’ve never talked nonsense and love to you, Di. ami ah.iliai bally rot. Hut I’ve learned to love you lor your self, and because I’ve seen the world and know your wprth in 11. Tin not a saint, but every hour with you makes a man better, makes him try to be more worthy— Is it quite impossible- Think. Di! lam the heir to the title, and. with you as my wife, the Beverley fortune and the Bever ley title would he brought together," Proposal Declined. Not all of this speech Lady Diana heard Now she slightly smiled and made a com monplace gesture refused to be moved by what she unconsciously felt to be another of the constant of Iter cousin to reduce life’s odds more in his favor. "Greville, it's quite impossible." she said, "and for the sake of friendship and cousinship, let’s hear nothing further about it—ever—” To the relief of Lady I Hana, tills dis tasteful conversation with her cousin was ended by the appearance upon a lower slope of a youngish man in clerical dress. She went to greet him, and lie explained that he. the Rev Verner Haslam, was laking the place of the vicar during the latter's absence During this explana tion of the stranger who had received Lady Diana's note. Sartoris, who appar ently had recognized Haslam, smiled slightly. I laid.' Diana was about to lead the stranger to Brancastor's apartment, after he£ explanation of the accident ami the unconsciousness of the earl, when she saw that the clergyman and Sartoris were exchanging strange looks. Sartori- broke the Silence as he said with a sneer: "I feel that the poor sufferer will be benefited by the ministrations of so good ly a divine as the Rev. Verner Has lam.'' The rudeness of it all shocked Lady Diana, and she could not relieve the sit uation by other than a perfunctory in quiry to the man in clericals: "You know my cousin'”’ The eyes of the young clergyman sought the face of Sartoris almost pleadingly : “I did at Oxford." he said, as though he were asking that something in the past be ignored "Bui we have not met for many’ years.'' Then with tuioth ir troubled look at Sar toris be passed toward Ihi rustle with Diana.

Boris had—so runs the legend—only 48 followers, but he called upon Christ to aid and rode forth at their head. As he did so. flames enveloped the palace and seV"n figures of glory appeared to lead the forlorn hope. The pagans cast away their arms. Hung themselves prostrate, and submitted. So far tile legend. We lore on surer ground when we hear that I the “Christian” king executed 52 rebel “bolyars” with their families. Boris after coquetting for a time with the Roman pope, settled down as a [Greek Catholic, and the great patri arch. Photius. called him “the fair frui* of my labors." His people have since always been faithful to the Greek com munion, though once or twice the kings like Boris drifted Romeward: such oc currences were political in origin. Boris ’abdicated in 884 and died a monk in i We must not imagine that his prob- I ably Tartar lineaments had anything in I common with the beautiful Christ-like features of the elkons. Savage as he was, he had great vigor, and when he found that his eldest son and successor, Vladimir, was worthless the old king came forth from hie cell to depose him and raised to the throne his second '■hild, Simeon, the greatest of all lb< < zars of Bulgaria. St. John of Rila. , 'T'HE monast'" ' of Rila. the most fa mous in Bulgaria and also prob ably Ihi earliesi, lies in a beautiful val ley among the Rilska Planina moun tains. a spur of the Balkans, about 30 miles from Sofia. It was always considered ih« chief religious center of the ezardom, and its abbot acknowledged no superior bur the Exarch, th< official head of she Bul garian church. St. John of Rila. the most famous of its early abbots and a great figure in the days of Bulgaria's glory, died in 946. Miracles were pe formed at his tomb, and so widespread became hi. sanctity that in 1183 Bela of Hungary, in a war with the Eastern empire, car ried his corpse away to Gran In the hope of securing for himself the bless i ings which its possession conferred. | The remains wen- recovered by the I Emperor Issqe 11. in 1187. and restored I to Bulgaria.

It eon | sisted of eight drums of porphyry with j the joints concealed by bronze laurel wreaths on a base of white marble and I topped by a statue of Constantine, reul l ly an Apollo with a new head, crowned with rays and bearing a spear and tin globe of empire. It was popularly be lieved that the Palladium of Rome ami part of the true cross were built up In the base. • The column has suffered many vicis situdes, and now presents a terribly wrecked appearance. The Conetantino polltans call it "the hooped column,” or "the burnt column,'' in allusion to its appearance and disasters. Legends, of course, clustered about ft, and many superstitious beliefs, the most pathetic being that of tiie fifteenth century, that the Turkish tide would be stayed. It is almost the only surviving frag ment of Constantine’s own city. On its base the emperor plait'd an inscrip •lon ‘O Christ, Ruler and l.ord of the The column of Constantine, built by the founder of Constantinople. | World, to Thee I consecrate this obe- I dient city and tiie scepter and power iof Rotm-' Guard Thy city!

Tile i foundation of tiie famous corps which ; bore the Turkish standard all over tile i Nearer East and Barbary was due to (Sultan < irklian and his brother and I vizier. Ala-ed-Din. | The early Osmanli armies were dis orderly swarms of horse bowmen, use less for siege work, and the Turkish yeomen, whom <irklian tried to form into battalions of infantry, proved of small service. Thereupoti the brothers —Ala-ed-Din is popularly supposed to have suggt sti.-d tiie idea —decided to im pose op their Christian subjects a trib |ute of children who should be trained : inlo a military order. The utter cal lousness of the idea is worthy of a Turk, but its success was marvelous. Cut off from all ties of country, kith and kin, these descendants of Christian parents developed into the most terri ble weapons of Mahometan conquest that the world has ever seen. Orkhan called upon Haji Bektash. a famous devotee, to bless the new corps when it first paraded. Tiie old man came to the head of the line and laid I his iiand. with its white sleeve falling j back from it, on tile first soldier's head. “Be ye called Yen-icherf” (new sol diery), he said. ’May your faces ever shine. May your right arms be ever strong, your swords keen, your lances winged and may ye be victorious for ever and for aye!" And in memory of that day the men were equipped with white caps with a n hite streamer to recall the sleeve. The original cap with its streamer varied later witli different regiments, as may be seen by studying the costumes of tiie queer little collection of dummy fig ures in the museum at Constantinople. In 1328 there were 1,000 soldiers. In a century and a half they conquered al! the Nearer East.
