Draw a line along the entire north coast to Messina, then down the whole length of the east coast, and you will have denmrked Sicily's lemon belt; and of this the richest spot is the Conea d'Oro. To turn from Palermo's wealth to Its poverty, one has but to thread Its tortuous slums, where a suspicious eye peers ut one through a sliding panel before the door is opened ; where two housewives purchase and split a small fish between them, and the street call of "I buy hair!" resounds among the crazy tenements. (Prepnred hy the National OeofrrRnhlo Society, WathlnKton, D. C.) cupltul of Sicily, is u PALEltMU, city, one of the urbau of the world. When one approaches it from the sea. the Conca d'Oro lies lu front, that shell-lik- e piuln, like a gigantic garden, with Monte 1'ellegrino's red crags on the right, Capo Zaffurauo's wooded heights across on the left, while Monte GrifTone's dark range Alls the back-ground. Modern I'ulermo is a medley of the dark old streets and wide new ones, of Moorish domes and modern marble mansions of labyrinths of al-leys and a broad beautiful Marina; while no other city of its size pos-sesses such splendid parks and public and private gardens. It Is a lugubrious experience to watch the hair merchant testingly fin-ger the magnificent braids of some growing girl; to hear the squalid g over five soldi (one-fourt- of a lira), more or less, before he snips the black locks Into his basket. To compute bow many similar heart-breaks are represented by the more, than 100 tons of human hair exported annually hy the western half of Sicily might make even a statistician weep. The most exquisite Jewel In Paler-mo's casket is the Capella Pulatina, built at the command of IJoger, Sic-ily's first Norman king and son of Count Roger d'Hautevlile, the Cortes and Pizarro of his time. It fs a mel-ody of mosaic art, this chapel In Pal- - "Panormus" all harbor was the ancients' name of Palermo, which would Indicate Its Greek origin, though from earliest Inscriptions there is good authority for believing it a Chaldean colony to begin with. Whatever Its stem, its Greek, Roman, Gothic, Sara-cenic and Norman occupations 'have left marked traces on the City of Golden Shell. Palermo has been an Important - maritime city for more than three I ) thousand years. In Phoenician dnys f 4 It occupied a small peninsula, with a wide harbor nearly surrounding It. Later the slit from the Inland moun-tains filled the harbor bed which now forms a pnrt of the, foundation of modern Palermo. , The trim, white ships, of the steam-ship company that transport passen-gers from the Italian "boot" to Sicily usually reach Palermo shortly after dawn, but- - I'ulermo appears wide-- ' awake. Hundreds of citizens already are on the dock shouting greetings to the newcomers or announcing their business as representative of this or that hotel. ermo's royal, palace. Not au inch of the surface-floor- , walls, cupola or roof but Is gemmed with exquisite work. Its colors are softened and blended with age, until it suggests some ori-ental sheik's tent of cashmere em-broidery. Berfde the pulpit stands a Very ancient carved white candle-nbru- 14 feet high, and near the choir steps swings a magnificent re-pousse silver lamp, gifts of King Rog-er to this Jeweled chapel his fairy wand created. The Saracenic conquerors have left their trace In the palaces of La Zly.a nnd La Cuba, and In La Cubola, the latter a pmall vaulted pavilion In the gardens of La Culm, and the most perfect Saracenic work In Sicily. The palaces are barracks now nnd their beauties have vanished, but at La Cuba It was ftiat dl Proclda found his lost love, as described by Boc-caccio. Church of San Giovanni. The structure about which perhaps centers the greatest Interest Is the picturesque ruined church of San legll Kremite. built by King Happy and Beautiful. The passenger's first glance toward Palermo suggests the name La Felloe (The Happy) that It has long borne and rightly deserves. The compact city resembles the playing field of an enormous natural athletic stadium with the suburban hills, dotted with palatial villas and citrus groves, form Ing the elevated sides. The arena Is the Conca d'Oro. It was during the Eleventh and Twelfth centuries that Palermo reached Its height of magnificence, un der the Norman line of Itoger and -'- , Ifobert d' Hauteviile, a magnificence which still dazzles one In such kingly gems as the Palatine chapel and the cathedral at Monreale.

He found a suitable purchaser In Jonns StrngauWtns, who agreed to take over the feeble-minde- brother together with the farm and to care properly for the n filleted man. But Stragauskas placed the strlek en Jonas In chains, weighing 15 kilo-grams, and fastened the chains to his cellar wall. For 22 years the mentally deficient Jonas was ubKged to wear away Ms life In this cellar, with no pastime other than counting the links on his crushing chain, During these two decades the primmer saw no sunshine and breathed only the damp, musty air of the cellar. The police were notified and Jonas was rescued. Jonas" body was covered with oil scars and fresh wounds, but he was too enfeebled, physically us well as mentally, to move from the spot. The pitiable prl.toner, who had sur-vived this agony for 20 years, knew nothing of the World war, although heavy lighting had occurred between 1!I4 and JitlS In the vicinity of his prison. StraguiiPkas was arrested Hnd brought to trial. No witnesses could he fount! to testify against him and. thanks to the Lithuanian legal code, this left no course open to the court except to sentence Strngnuskns to two weeks' imprisonment and a fine of Mo litas.

Nobody was able to open the safe, which eoii talned all the records, bail money and evidence needed for the opening of tile court. "P.eg pardon, Cap," the Intruder said quietly, "I used to be one of the princes of my profession. 1 can open any safe you show me with nothing but a piece of sandpaper." He received plenty of attention then They pave Mm a piece of saiidjiaper and he rubbed It on his tinker tips to make them sensitive to the f.ll of the tumblers In the lock.
