Her husband's success in business made an easeful life possible, and in the process she had grown fat and llabby. She had allowed every interest in life, except that of literature, to atrophy. Bob's roses were beginning to adorn other women's boudoirs. He sought other company with the air of a man in need of refreshment and rest. Crane was that successful looking American type. Dressed well, good brain, something fresh nnd vital about his admirable physique. As full of the love of life as his wife was joyless and indifferent From a couch, in their charming living room, where Crane's unerring Instinct had installed the. best things and the right things, Helen usually greeted her husband on his return home in the evenings, She would look up from the inevitable book in the unsmiling way of one whose whole attention is still held. Their two children died in infancy and their substantial home traveled smoothly enough on its own momentum.

C. Cambe was merely a ruin at this time, and histhe fact tory affords nothing beyo-iof its existence and origin. Sidon had been the principal Phoenician seaport; so the Carthaginian people .held their section of what Is now Tunis as far back as their African history has been revealed. Under the Barcas family (Ilasdru-bal- ; Hamilcar, Hannibal, etc..) Carthage was a great center of wealth and commerce, with a population which has been estimated variously between 700,000 and 1,000,000. The buildings of Carthage prior to its destruction by the Romans, In 146 B. C, were in some cases seven stories high. From the accounts of Cato the Elder, the implacable foe of the city, whose "Delenda est Carthago" Is unforgettable, the construction of the city must have been of admirable soundness in fact, such that the conflagration of sixteen days can scarcely have demolished entirely the gigantic edifices and strong foundations. It is expected that part of these will be found intact at a great excavated depth.. The utter devastation and obliteration of Carthage which for centuries following the Punic wars were thought to have taken place have been recently contradicted by exploration. Over the ruins long untouched dirt and sand had drifted, but mercifully preserving innumerable objects of art which escaped destruction. Twenty, forty, and sixty feet below the surface have been unearthed the vestiges of the Byzantine, Roman and Phoenician occupations. In this work have been engaged the explorers Gauckler, Merlin and Poinssot, of the Service des Antlquites, but the most notable efforts have been those of Pere Dellattre, who, with exceedingly meager resources, has labored over the ruins for fifty years. lie has discovered four of the earliest Christian basilicas, Roman and Punic necropoand many lises, an amphitheater, priceless relics, but during this long period of arduous search he has acof Rotually explored only man and Christian Carthage.

The most sensational discovery lately was the Temple of Tanit by the amateur archeologist. M. Icart, where human sacrifices were offered by the Carthaginians to the goddess of that name and to Baal Amnion. hundreds of urns were Literally found- - containing the bones of children from four to twelve years of age who had been burned alive. The clew which led to this important discovery was supplied by an Arab, who was seen digging for stone Inscriptions near the location of the Punic ports for the purpose of selilng them to tourists. Operations were undertaken near by and inscriptions were found to the deities mentioned and a large field of stiles bearing the pagan symbol of fertility, a crescent reversed over a disk or triangle. 'Below this site were the urns, which were about twelve inches high, of red or white terra cotta, with handles and wide mouths sealed with yellow clay. Besides the bones of children were those of lambs and birds here and there. The name of the child sacrificed appeared on the stile Immediately above. The altars unearthed at the lowest level were undoubtedly of Egyptian origin.

Perhaps it was a prayer from a man's exasperated lips one night, to the god that understands women, after a stronger dose than usual of his wife's negligence, that brought Mrs. Robert Crane under the knife that cut Into her indifference. Bob and His Secretary. It was the morning of the day that Crane was to leave for Texas on a six weeks' trip. He had asked his wife to be at his offices about on a matter of business. In his private office he had been going through his mail, dictating to his secretary for an hour or more. At the moment Bob was slightly slumped in his chair, his lean brown fingers neatly poised, tips matching, he was endeavorftig to keep up continuity of thought. It was difficult the allure of his efficient young business woman, who one could see was as efficient in her ways of living and dressing as in the office routine, kept disrupting his trend. "Gentlemen:" he dictated. "In accordance with your request of July 2, we are enclosing an itemized" Concentration broke Into bits. Bob's keen blue eyes fastened on the shapely fingers Greuze might have fashioned, moving swiftly across the notebook. Miss Secretary wished that her employer would go on.
