Kendall, Montana, September 7 .9, 1903 4 * * 4 4 i Unrequited Love * * * V * 4 By Guy ancterquand. I 1 * Dose Into English by Amu S. Snyder. (From Town and Country, Nee York. Rokoriatal by Spacial Pennladen.) T ins is the quaint legend that I heard half -recited, half -chanted by an old Arab, one evening when I had joined a small group which sur- rounded him: \It is not only the birds, but also the flowers which have wings. In the kingdom of the sun lived a sultan great and just. beloved of God, who blessed him in his children. ard dropped from Heaven the souls of three houris. the self-F.:me day that his favorite sultana brought into the world three daughters so alike that their own mother was not able to distlrguish them from each other. She placed upon their cradles three different flowers, pink for th.e elder, Leila; white for the younger. Ned.ii; blue for the third, Hadje. They grew like the palm tree tall, bed blossomed like the lotos. Each had green eyes, not of a wad green like the leaves of the fig tree, but of a deep green like the waves of the sea. The leaves fell from the tree of life 17 times before ;hey had felt the flower of love. They seemed to wait the coming of the mysterious friend, as the first star of the evening. \Ore day some urbellevers entered the cour,try of the prophet with their chief, who was a Christian. bond •rd pale as the snow of h:s country, and with eyes the color of the sea. When the sisters raw him at his audience with the grand sultan, they trembled, ard a:I three loved h:m, for their hearts were as one. Love is fire In Asia. w here perfumes change to poison. but It Is ice in Europe. where the sky is covered with clouds and the rose without perfume. But the avaricious Frank had come to conquer god. rot women, •rd soon left, bearing away his riches -as If god. a ray from earth, was worth more than love, a ray from Heaven. They did not weep at his departure, but said,: 'Mete the lover of our soul. ard wa must go to him.' After embracing their biotiter. they went Le the night from their gilded palace. alor.e. saying: 'We are going to the icy country to rind again our master,: But it was toe far from the and of ttpt tatthfC to that of the accursed, and l i re* they had walked for a long time, they stopped and said to each other: \ 'It Is here that we mot die!' \Ard they died with !lauds joined, as when they came into the' world. But an angel saw them in that hour, and cried to Ma home \'All powerful master, the three houris have died while seeking their beloved.' \The prophet felt a tear In his eVes as he looked at them, then he said: . \ 'But they may be flowers—Leila pink. Nedje white, •nd Hadje blue, like the flowers of their cradle. and may have wings like the b::ds, that they may yet seek their, beloved, as they sought him when they were women. And the wird a I:I be their servant; it will carry them upon Its breath each springtime. (loin land to lard, sO that they may fird again the on• vi horn they seek; they will blossom everywhere, even to the last day of the worid., where they will tird him, when Allah Will judge all souls.' \The three flowers blossomed upon the mountain, and the word of Mahonset has been accomplished ever since. ' \It Is not only the birds. but the flowers also which have wings\ He drew from his bosom three small flowers as large as violets— pink, white and blue, as he had told. They' were tne three sisters. Then the Arabs knelt, and their prayers commenced. \If you please, air,\ said a Voice be- hind me, at the moment :I was going. I turned and found myself in the presence of an Englishman, tall, ele- gant, handaome and distinguished. \Sir said he to me, with a bow, \I am Lord M-- . I have been listen- ing to the Arab's story, and I noticed that you wrote down his words. We do not understand the language, and my lady, who noticed his gestures, would be most happy to have , the translation. I pray you to excuse this request, which may seem a little bold, and I count upon your charity to obtain this favor.\ His courtesy was too genuine ,to permit me to hesitate, besides his re- quest was for a lady. I answered that I was quite at my lady's orders, and would be charmed to render so slight a service. °Will you, then, do us the favor to come and take tea with us this even- ing, at the consulate where we are staying?\ That evening, in the consulate, I was duly presented to Lady M —. She appeared very pale and nervous, and had the reserved air of the women of her ccuntry, I ut esihottt tlie al. was midnigilt, and I was seated upon fectation of prudery, which ...made deck dreaming, my spirit cradled de - Byron so angry. Her e3 vs we low- ered witlictit cc asing; tut this seemed natural, for she was not over 18 years of age. She received me po- litely and let her husband remind me of the translation promised. I read it slowly. trying only to put into niy voice that kind of indefinable melan- choly hote which had accompanied the chant of the raconteur. When I had finished, the young woman, instead of taking part in the usual reflections, remained seated as if lost in thought. A little aston- ished at that indifference, I ap- preached her, ard asked her opinion. lihe slowly raised . the long lashes which seemed to veil her' soul, and answered in a low N oice there words: ”And I, also, nave green eyes.\ Eight days after I counted myself as one of Lord M --'s good Mends, and started with himself and wife for Naples. I knew now the secret of the phrase: \And I, also, have green eyes.\ They had married my lady to my lord because he was most admirably suited to her rank, age and fortune. liciottaly in the mildness of the night, a night of Italy, peaceful and lumin- ous, crowned with a chaplet of trembling stars. The meledy that an Italian maestro had put to some Arab verses of winged flowers came to my memory, and almost without thought, I sung that oriental poetry, dazzling and pensive at the same time. The young wife had joined Me un- perceived. Suddenly I noticed her white form, and, interrupting myself, rose. \Continue said she, sweetly, \con- tinue, I pray you,\ and she leaned upon the railing. I can see her there all in white, with a Scotch plaid half thrown over her shoulders, leaning like a reed upon the balustrade. Her voice seemed to me so sweet and im- perious, her large green eyes, always lowered, were raised, and sparkled so brilliantly that the night seemed brighter. I commenced my song. She listened attentively, standing in the flood of pale light which fell from the stars, and seemed to mingle and lose herself in the milky trans- parency of the air. I had a dream of As he ,was a man of. charming ex - the white lady of Walter Scott, of the terier-and exceedingly accomplished, fay of Lochleven astray that evening the poor yeiting g:rl, at the most im- pressionable age, loved him with al the strength of her soul.' The yeung man, after the months consecrated to the honeymoon, judged that to show love for his wife was almost un- dignified in a man destined to a cer- tain future in the house cf lords, or the Epsom races. Now, when an Eng- lishman only susp'cions a thing to be sindignifed, he will jump from Lon- don bridge rather than submit him- self to it, if he is a true gentleman. The poor child, whose gentle heart was ill prepared for such a situatron. had' given herself without reserve. and suffered all the tortures of a love disdained. I alone divined her struggles; nor a word nor a look be- trayed her when strangers were near, so great is the power of an aristo- cratic education over those who havs been confined in its nartlow limits from infancy. I wished that she might open her heart to me, being persuaded that a grief loses intensity as it is told to another; but she seemed to thrice my thought, with that rare intu:tion with which women are endowed. She was, perhaps, grateful to me, but, had el en stretched out my hand In sym- pathy, the sensitive one would have enclosed herself more firmly in her re erve. We arrived at Naples, where we re- mained 15 days. My lord anti his young wife accompanied me in all nu excursions. A boos in his hand, my lord commenced everything and looked at nothing; the young Eng- lishwoman was attentive, but indif- ferent. One day, the last that we pnssed in Naples. our promenade led as before a statue of Sapho. ready to precipitate herself in the waves. My lord read in his book: \Sapho (author unkrowt) marble. the moment, when este Is prepared to . \The famous priestess Is I.( pr, homed at cipitate hemelf Itto the ern, lam deepttft o.ot belrg loved by Phaor. whom • he adored.

Agri - genie.\ \Very beautiful,\ said my lord, and passed on. The young wife paused before it, while her husband was reading the description in the book, and her eyes were feed upon the marble with an expression of terrible grief. The woman who knew the demi - ILO-of not being loved spoke to her descendant. I watched an instaut the two statues face to face, the marble statue and the statue of flesh, animated by the same grief. Artittt, and almost cruel, I conten,plated art and nature tOr gether, but only for an instant, took a step forward, my lady saw me, recovered herself, and continued her in the museum with a sad smile on her pa;e The following morning we were on shipboard returning to Eng'and. it was the second day of our voyage. It long ago on the banks of the Cumee. I sang with a strange sentiment, as one who made an invocation; then, at the moment I had finished the last verse, I saw her bend quickly to the movement of the vesel. A voice mur- mured: \Adieu—Sapho and a body fell into the water. I sprang up—the boats were launched, but the waves quickly closed over her, and the sea jealously guarded its fiancee. They wrote to her father: \Your daughter was drowned by accident in going from Naples to Civita-Vec- chia,\ but the next day I heard an old Italian sailor say, in a low voice, shaking his head: \An accident! A fine story! She had eyes green like the sea; all such end their lives so; the wind always carries them away.\ And I thought of the story of the Arab and of the three sisters who journeyed far. Perhaps the daughter of Albion, herself, became a flower of the sea, and travels also upon the waves in an eternal search for the lover far away. A very e.-1 'enable woman of Milwaukee is an earnest member of a local German class, but her method of pronouncing some of the words, at- least in one apec - fic instance, aroused the•mirth of her comraniona. At a rerent meeting of the class, one of the questi)na in the day's exeretee was: \Are you not glad that you are able to learn Ger- mast\ This query was in the foreign language, and the answer was: \Ja; gewiss,\ mean- ing: \Yes certainly.\ It so happened that this particular woman was called up to read the quest ton and ansWer. She got through the question all right, but convulsed the class by reading the answer this way: \Ya; gee whiz!\ Milwaukee Sentinel.. Judith Basin Bank Lewistown, Mont.
