ago f was sitting in the middle of my garden when my servant toosed me from my reverie by presenting mo with a letter toeuindtruingtold mo it once tilt it came from my old friend dr mortimer who via then livinf near rome he and i had established at college a close friendship for each other which his lasted ever since partly oa account of that unknown bond of sympathy which draws two people together and partly from oqr similarity of taites for we were both quiet unambitious nun fond of literature and art but witioutlrafficient character to succeed iu either jve began life differently i worked steadily for the bar while my friend prepared himself for medicine shortly however after our de parture frcm college dr afortimer came into the possession of a considerabfe fortune and he had by that time aoqnirtd such a passion for pictures sculpture and works of art that he determined to leave the country iu order to collect as many beautiful objecls sibe could i for my parti wis ho ieit lucky for the death of an sunt miie me a rich miu accordingly 1 purchased a small but pretty little cotse at about twenty mile from london and there in se- dusiout psszed my time with the sole company of my books and my flowers dr mortimer and i oorrpeaderhwtta other from time lo tine butvr hsd cot met for many yean when i received the let ter of whicil hive spoken i the utter condined a pressing iurititoa from my friend to piy liira a visit st his house in rome and he begged me to come down there without further delajj he told ne that he longed to see me again and talk over old timer but that oie particularly wished me to be with him just now ss he had reuoa to luppom that dim very old very old pieces of tculpture were buried in hut grounds and that their exhumation would

mid fifteen vein have elapsed since i took this journey i call re member every incident connected with it as if ifhad been yesterday the lexcitemeut of packing had at first so occupied my stteu- tion that i thought cf irttieelse but my porfmaoteau but when iwasjonee fairly off from charing cross- f fed a strsnge longing to go back again i could not un derstand what this meant it seemed to me so strings and unmsaybatj do what i would i found it impossible to shake oft the impression that i should neveij live again somas my books in my old nappy and con tented condition two or three tunes i lad serious thought of telegraphing to dr mortimer telling him not to expect me but the thought that he might feel tart kept roe from a step which would to heavenl hsd taken on arriving at rome however the thought of seeing my old friend once more drove these gloomy sensations from my mind and when filially i drove np to his house ind found him standing at the kite waitingto welcome me you may readily imagine bow warm were our greetings he led me into his garden where we sat down for long time talking over all oor iffiurt ind of our old college days dr mortimer then took me over hu house and showed me all the freasum which it contained beau tiful indeed they were every room con tained some exquisite works of arc and the whole collection was arranged ta the most perfect taste i i it wa certainly strage but a mysteii ous feeling of repugnance for this work seised me and it was the more remarkable u the sensation seemed to me similar to that which i had experienced in the jtrairi the doe tor however wasso enthusissfe about hia expected discovery that iopujl not refuse to tske upon myselfa shsre of the labour aceordingly after a light ineal itaunteted forti with dr

uttle of women indeed i scarcely ever see one bat you too are un married i why yet yon cirej for bookr i wot- began to dig with great energy the two men assisted bio while i took up a spade mechanically and watched tie proceedings at length i saw j them gradually uncover something like bronze which had the ap pearance of part oa womans dress mor timer balled this discovery with a load shoot of kureka i and began to urge me to join iu the work his bald head wis shieing in the tun and bis goodnatured face beamed upon ras from behind bii spec- uolatinso winning a manner that i waa compelled fo take off my coat and plunge desperately into the work from time to time the jsootor waa obliged to rest in order wipe the persplrttioa from his brow ben he would ell u story o the great masters or of some celebrated picture then be would cheer on tie men and begin again himself at lut after about three or lonr houra dizging we succeeded in removing he cartbt from what- was evidsntlr the trunk and limba gf aeolpaaal statue of a wo man wa were all now so fatigued by our labour that werwere csmtsllerl to slof though the bead oft ho flgure still rtmslned coucealed under hi soil the doctor ao- cordingly gev some money otbjtwo labourers who seemed highly pleased with his generosity and after bidding us good night they left ui to examine the result of our labours i the doctor had seated himself upon a ttue which we hid come upon during our nock while i stood silently contemplating h sttue i wa gating upon thabroaa figure of a woman aboat seven feet iu height but so well proportioned that the whole seemed perfectly uilural she was clad in a loose garment which waa drawn inittbe waist by a girdle and which was made to lall in seductive folds and wrinkles about his person i partly concealing and partly exposing tie beauty of ler umbs one of the arms reclined upon her breast while the other dropped languidly before her but in spite of these exquisite point a certain indescribable mocking coquetry pervaded the whbla ngure the more i looked upon this singular piece of art the more i seemed to admire it i even wished to kneel- down and kiss the figure when the pleasant voiceof the doctor aroased me and made me turn towards him ho was looking at he statue with the eye of a con noisseur it uf perfect f he exclaimed what a miracle at art it muat be the work of some great greek master look at that hand observe the delicacy of the feet the exquisite grace of the boat iwbat raimuou execution what design but what can the face of to lovely a uiura be

shining brileantly upon the mtgnlflceat ruins which appeared in tie distanoe two italian labourers were there- awaiting our arrival and some spades and other implements were lviogbeside ineov- the

how good of you well then come along for the sooner we set about it the better puttiag on some suitable elotiiog we walked down together to the field which contained the doctors treasure it wu a lovely night there wss scarcely i breath of wind in the air the moon was well up and covered the distant view of rome with a soft white light and he country round wa visible for miles we paused before the kind cf grave which we had dug in tie afternoon there lay the statute aa we bad left her she was looking exquisitely beau tiful her dress glistening iu the moonlight i was the first this time to seize a spade the doctor soon joined me and we worked so energetically that aa he had predicted in little tiort of an hour our- task was done i rose to look at tie face but started back with horror as i first caugit light of her glance fixed npoa me sad remained for some time rooted to the spot her pene trating eyes were turned toward me and seemed to look met through snd through- her hair wss hanging loosely down her back sbmeof it lay clustered upon her ba torn but the whole wu so imaged u to exhibit the beauty and delicacy of her neck and throat the head wu shaped to per- feotion but the face handsome though it certainly was had been worked by the art ist into the expression which had given me such a shock it was a mixture of pride disdain aad spite- the face which wu now revealed iu in fact the complement of the figure which i had seen in the after noon and i could now account for the ma lignity which i had- thea observed in tie position of the limbs it wu grand iu a way this statue but it wu terrible and yet strangely fascinating dr mortimer expressed himself u much pleased with the face u he had been with the figure ol tie statue and pronouncedit to be everything in art which it ought to be justilike a womin too heuid tattoo sagjlio u some statues are nor too sentimental like so msny of oar modern works and then sgsin ho delivered him self ef a panegyric upon the numerous ex- oellencies of the statue n put did you not notice a verj atrange expression sometlfingauaoat repulsive even about the face l said i u weugbted ear cigars on our way home i no i cant say i did id he it certainly ii not altogether i pleasant ftce now i come to thiak of it i took the dootbrs arm aad we went for a itrofflabout the garden before parting for the night when i reached ray

seemed to me so strange i do not think i could have pointed ont the ehang to anyone i i spent the next fortnight iu watching it idiadeed i wit capible of little else diy grew more faaciaated and
