THE PRISONER OF CHILLON o VER 300,000 visitors per year, so tbe gnide will tell you, now tread gayly the very dungeon in which Lord Byron's "Prisoner of Chlllon" once languished, gaze cas ually at Its seven ancient pillars and pass on out into the sunny beauty of Lake Leman at Montreaux, Switzerland, unaware, perhaps, that the prisoner whose prison they have just quit was as real as tne dun geon Itself. Francois de Bonnlvard, who lived between HOC and 1570, was a Swiss patriot. In 1510 he was made prior of St Victor near Geneva, and later aided the Genevese agatost the oppressions op-pressions of the duke of Savoy. For this he was captured and lm prisoned by the duke for two years. Some time after his release Bonn! vard fell, by chance into the hands of robbers, who sold him to the duke for gold. This time he was cast into the famous dungeon un der the waters of Lake Leman in the Castle of Chlllon, where he re mained from 1530 to 1530, when he was liberated by the Genevese. The Swiss government has today restored and housecleaned the Cas tle of Chlllon, modernizing the fa mous old fortress, much to the distress dis-tress of the sentimental who like their Byron ; but the dungeon it self remains damp and dark, and the very "seven pillars of Gothic mold" to which Bonnlvard was chaitied still stand, carved with the name of Byron, and also of Victor Hugo, Dumas, Dickens, Meredith and Shelley I D'ARTAGNAN TVARTAGNAN, the swashbuckling U hero of Alexandre Dumas' "Three Musketeers," actually lived at one. time, rounding out In south em France In tbe Seventeenth cen tury a qniet uneventful and highly respectable career, with Just enough swashbuckling thrown In to attract the attention of contemporary chronicler with an eye for the picturesque. pic-turesque. His real name was Charles de Gatz-Castelmore, but he used his mother's name D'Artagnan, and glorified It by the usual military career of the poor young noble and by settling down at middle age as a fairly prosperous family man. He a left In the archives of the French ministry none too liberal documents showing that he once served as captain of tbe musketeers. Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras is little known today, but he was neveitheless a popular Seventeenth centtiry author, having turned out forty scandalous chronicles. He knew D'Artagnan slightly and had a splendid Imagination. So, during one of his three sojourns In the bas- tile for scandalmonglng, he turned out the edifying "Memoirs of D'Artagnan," D'Ar-tagnan," which served as basis for the later and more familiar novel of Dumas. The real D'Artagnan, like the hero of the novel, went to Paris to seek his fortune, became a musketeer and was entangled in certain political intrigues, though the story of the queen of diamonds Is a myth. ' DARLING NELLIE GRAY THE "darling Nellie Gray" Immortalized Immor-talized by Benjamin Hanby, song writer, to the Civil war ballad of that name, was an obscure negro slave girl whose pathetic story was carried out of the South and into common knowledge only by the sorrowing sor-rowing devotion of her faithful lover, himself a runaway slave in search of her. - Back In the lS50's Bishop George Hanby, father of the author, turned his magnificent old home at Rush-viile, Rush-viile, Ohio, over to be used as a way-station on the historical under ground railway. Of many runaway slaves who found refuge there, five, weakened by exposure, died and were burled In an obscure country cemetery In the hills near Kushvllle. One of them, Jo Selby by name, Just before be died of pneumonia had breathed out the story of his . . . poor Nellie Gray, they have taken ber away, And I'll never e my darling any more; fee a'comin', comln', comln', as the angela clear the way, Farewell to the old Kentucky shore. Young Benjamin Hanby, who taught at the village school, turned Selby's story Into a song which be wrote on the school house blackboard black-board for his pupils to sing. The Hanby home was recently torn down to make room for a more modern structure, but the grave of Jo Selby, soon to be marked by a real monument, lies undisturbed back In the hills. (a 1132.

She's all by herself. suppose It's the only decent thing to do and I don't believe she'll need anything much now." So one by one they telephoned and this is what they said: "Oh, my dear, I didn't know you had been so 111. I thought it had only been a slight cold, and not having hav-ing heard from you I thought I'd call up to see what had happened I '11 come up and see you If I may. I wish I had known you were ill before. be-fore. I might have been able to bring you something. But I'll come up today and see what I can do for ou. Good-by, dear. I am so re lieved you're a little better. Now don't do too much. I simply won't hear of it Good-by." So, every day for a week, one of them at least dropped In to see what could be done. And this is what they did : They let her get up and make them tea (when they called around teatime). They let her get them Just the 'simple lunch she would have had herself (she wouldn't have had any herself, not feeling strong enough to get it!) when they came around lunch time. They let her make coffee and sandwiches when they came In the evenings. And as they left, at different times, each said approximately the same thing. It was this: "Now, don't do too much, dear. I couldn't bear It If you got reany ill You're looking so much bet ter now. On don t Doiner to wan me. It was a pleasure to do what could." Yes. she felt sadly disillusioned. Life seemed to her a very sordid proposition. She remembered when sne was passing a Jewelry 6hop one day.

And It also has its heroes who do brave deeds far from the sound of buela or drum. Come up to the tiptop of luumn uui in llolderness, N. ll-and ll-and there in a crassv gunnv nook look upon a simple cranlte monu ment which bears this Inscription: "1771 Reuben Whltten 1S47 Son or a Kevoiutlonary soldier, pioneer of this town. Cold season of 1816 raised 40 bushels of wheat which kept his family and his nelehbors from starvation." Life was hard for the early set tlers in the foothills of the White Mountains away back in 1810 when iteuben Whltten moved his family from the little village of Plymouth and began a pioneer's life on a little lit-tle farm near Lake Asquam. In tbe summer time they raised a little grain and a tew vegetables but for the most part they depended upon fish and game for food. So when the summer of 1S18 came and It rained week after week they did not worry, even when their grain and vegetables rotted In the ground. The woods still were full of game and the lake was still full of fish that could be taken through the Ice. Reuben Whltten was more fortunate than tbe rest His corn and vegetables had been a failure, but he had raised 40 bushels of wheat, There was no autumn that year. Winter came In on an Icy blast In October and for two weeks It snowed and rained and hailed. The whole country side was deep In snow. Most of the cattle perished, as did much of tbe wild game. And then the specter of starvation be gan to stalk through the settlement Then came the word from Reu ben Whltten that so long as his little store of wheat lasted, all the others In the settlement should share In It It was little more than enough to carry bis own family safely through the winter and what ever lay beyond, but he would por tion It out, a little each week, to other families. The winter increased In severity, In other parts of New Hampshire and Vermont whole families were wiped out; others were so weak ened by privation that they fell prey to disease; fathers and mothers went without food to keep the spark of life in their children. But in the Indian Ulle settlement Reuben Whitten's wheat with what little fish and game could be secured kept tbe half-dozen families alive till spring.

Development of Maps Tbe earliest maps are not accurate, accu-rate, but are based on the knowledge knowl-edge of the world as It was known at the time the maps were made. Only those countries whose inhabitants inhab-itants were known were depicted, some parts were marked unexplored and some boundaries were left unfinished. un-finished. As maritime discovery progressed maps developed. Later actual surveys and measurements were made.
