Henry Sienkie
wicx. so great a
name in Poland
that he has been
coupled with Co
pernicus and Kos
cluszko as the
three Poles to
whom Americans
are most Indebted,
was born In Opre
ya in Russian Po
land in 1S46. He
studied philosophy
at Warsaw uni
versity and soon
af terwa rds. in
company with
Helen Modjeska
and other radical
Poles, established
a socialistic com
fornia. It was somewhat like the
earlier Brook Farm experiment made
by Hawthorne and his friends. It was
no more successful an J Sienklewlcz re
turned to Poland where he wrote a
series of articles for a Warsaw news
paper about his American experiences.
Then he turned to novel writing. He
wrote brilliantly and rapidly. turnlnK
with the utmost ease from realistic
pictures of contemporary life to stories
of romance and to historical novels.
"Children of the Soil." which he called
his best book. Is a simple story of
Polish life which won more favor with
his own countrymen thin it did abroad
In the 80s he completed his tremen
dous trilogy. "With Fire and Sword."
"The Delude" and "Pan Michael."
There was an epic quality about these
historical novels that made many peo
ple In many lands hail him as a new
Scott or a new Dumas.
His International reputation, how
ever. came with "Quo Vadis." his mas
terpiece of ancient Roman life. It was
• uiv translated into Enflish and in
to nearly every tongue. Then It passed
to the stage, not only In America and
England, but also in France and Ger
many. Since that success Slenkiewicz
had traveled widely, visiting England.
France. Italy, Spiin. Greece. Africa and
the Far East. He received the Nobel
prize for literature In 1905. From the
outbreak of the war to his death In
November, 1916. he devoted himself tc
the relief of Polish war victims.
£ £ £ DO not know ©f a cer
I talnty her name even—Lygia
or Callina? They call her
Lygia in the house, for she comes of
the Lygian nation; but she has her
own barbarian name—Calllna. It Is
n wonderful house—that of thnse Plau
t fuses. There are many people In It:
bur it as quiet there as In the groves
of Sublaeuin. For a number of days I
did n<'t know that a divinity dwelt in
the h«»use. Once about daybreak I
*aw her I>:irhfnsr In the garden roun
t:iln: and I swear iii tliee by that foam
from which Aphrodite rose, that the
rays of dawn passed right through her
huiiy. I thought (hat when the sun
rose she would vanish before me in
the light. as the twilight of morning
• l.ies. Since then I have seen her
twice; and since then, too, I know not
what rest Is, I know not what .other
desires are. I have no wish to know
what the city can give me. I want
not women, nor cold, nor Corinthian
bronze, nor nmher, nor pearls, nor
wine, nor fen its ; I want only
l.ycia." "
Thus did Yinlclns. young Roman
patrician of the time of Nero, nn
notince his love for Lygia. daughter
of a king, beautiful hostage from her
notion, forgotten In the turmoil of the
world empire and brought up as a
Roman girl.
Vlnlclus was speaking to his uncle
I'etronius. known to his own time us
Arbiter Klegantiarum, trained In all
the art and beauty of Greece, wise,
witty, and learned, gayly staking his
life In his daily battle of wits with
Tigelljnus. who provided for the gross
er desires of the tyrant Nero as I'e
tronius did for his finer and more
artistic ones.
It was a time when the conflicting
tides of a pagan age, sadly degenerate
from the sturdy days of pristine Roman
virtues, mingled with those of a new
era in the world, only recently herald
ed from Judea. In the complicated
threads of the picture of Rome, cap
ital of the world, appear the figures of
I'eter and I'aul on their mission of
spreading the new religion of Christ;
I'oppaea, wife of Nero, beautiful as a
dream, but wicked as a nightmare;
Eunice, the charming slave of I'etro
nius; Chilo. wily Greek who can be
Christian or pagan as profit leads him;
I'rsus. prodigious in his strength, sim
ple as a child in his faith in Christ
and his devotion to Lygia (from whom
;. B. S. may have drawn a sugges
•ion In "Androcles and the Lion"), and
many minor folk who help to make the
story stand out as unusually human
among the numerous tales of Greco
Roman times.
When Vinlcins told his uncle Petro
nlus of his passion for Lygla, the lat
ter thought nothing was easier than
to provide his nephew with what he
regarded as a new plaything: a word
to Nero, who as emperor had nil hos
tages In his care—summon the maiden
to the palace, hand her over to the
young pntrician as her guardian—what
more could be needed to satisfy any
one's desires, especially as the maiden
manifestly was pleased with Yinieius?
Rut Petronlus and his nephew reck
oned without a new force that had en
tered into this Roman world. Thejr
could not understand n clrl who fled
| from Nero's court ami nil Its magnifi
cence, tied even from the lover whom
she loved. But "finally he understood
this, which he and Petronius had not
understood, that the new religion, en
1 grafted Into the soul something uu
known to that world In which he lived,
und that L.vgla, even If she loved blm.
would not sacrifice any of her Chris
! tlan truths for his sake, and that, If
pleasure existed for her. it was a
j pleasure different altogether from that
I which he and Petronius and Caesar's
court, nnd all Rome were pursuing,
j Every other woman whom he knew
might become his mistress, but that
! Christian would only become Ills vlc
I tlm. And when he thought of this, he
| felt anger and burning pain, for he felt
i that bis anger was powerless. To
carry off Lygia seemed to him possl
jhle; he was even sure that he could
do so. but he was equally sure that. In
I view of her religion, he himself, with
his bravery, was nothing, that his pow
er was nothing, nnd that through It he
could effect nothing. That Roman
military tribune, convinced that the
power of the sword and the fist, whluit
had conquered the world, would com
mand It forever, said for the first time
In his life that beyond that power
there might be something else; hence
j he asked himself with amazement what
It was."
Tt I* a definite and concrete way that
the author has chosen to show the
power of the new religion over human
lives. Struggle as he would, backed
by birth, by wealth and all the heaifty,
chnrrn and allurements that wealth
could bring, by the Ingenuity and wit
of Petronius. by the strong-arm meth
ods of Croton. champion bruiser of
I his time, oven by the force of the
known world In Nero's sway. Vlnlclus
j could accomplish nothing If all he
could win to himself was a mere un
willing body, while soul and spirit
were beyond his grasp. And the mad
dening part to him was that he owed
all his troubles to the teachings of a
parcel of Jewish fishermen or their
likes, or slaves or humble folk who
had never before entered Into serious
consideration In the thoughts of a pn
trlclan like himself. It was a long
struggle with him, and as the reader
follows the various people of the. story
through their part In the action, he
gets an admirable picture of Rome—
Nero, tyrant, actor and artist, with all
hi* magnificence and all his debauch
eries: the poor and humble In their
crowded quarters of the great city;
the delight of all thejjenses In the lift
led by Petronius; the lawless streets
of Rome by night; the pursuit of I.ygta
by Vlnlclus nnd bis hirelings, result
ing In the death of his professional
bruiser I'roten at the hands of the
faithful Vrsus. nnd the disaster to
Vlnlclus which led to bis nursing back
to'health by the Christians; his raeet
ing with Peter nnd Paul; the gradual
opening of his eyes, physical and sj>lr
Html: Ins mscover.v ui v-.,,.-,
everywhere. among the people, among
lils own slaves, union;; soldiers ami <>01
eers, even In the very court of Nero.
Ami the growing worry und astonish
ment of Petronius:
•"Vlnlelus, thou art losing sen«e.
Judgment, moderation,' exclaimed Pe
tronius.
"'I love only her in the world,' re
sponded Vlnlelus.
"•What of that?"
"'This, that I wish no other love.
I have no wish for your life, your
feasts, your shamelessness, your
crimes.'
"'What Is taking place In thee? Art
thou a Christian?'"
And then the great fire of Rome,
set by Tlgelllnus that N'oro might not
lack the experience of I'rlam, who hud
seen Troy burn; of rescuing Lygia
from the flames; the persecution of the
Christians with the thought of throw
ing on them the rage of the people
at the burning of the city: the
singling out of Lygla by the hate of
1'oppaen because Vlnlelus had spurned
the empress' proffered charms; the
final rescue by a miracle of strength
on the part of the ever-faithful I'rsus,
and the words of Vlnlelus to Peter:
'"What thou commandest I will
do.'
"'Love men as thy own brothers,'
answered the apostle, 'for only with
love mayest thou serve mm.'"

BROOMS FROM PINE NEEDLES
Said to Be an Excellent Substitute for
the Bristles Now Used, and Will
Last Longer.
One of the latest discoveries is a
new use for pine needles. It has been
found that the needles of the pine
make a fair substitute for bristles In
: brushes and brooms. They are found
' in great quantities on the ground in
fir forests, and. owing to the large
umount of silica in them, they are
hard, and do not decay rapidly.
The pine needles are dealt with In
two ways. Where they are long they
are simply bunched together and tied
firmly, and a stick is pushed down the
center as a handle.
The other plan is to Insert clusters
of smaller needles In holes In a thick
ish piece of wood. These holes are
tilled with hot pitch, and when this
material has set hard and dry the piue
needles are held firmly in place.
Elaborate tests have shown that
pine needles wear well. They are not
more easily broken than much of the
material which has been commonly
used In broom-making, and. owing to
their hardness, they can withstand a
great deal of friction.
JOHN'S BOAST j
By GRACE E. RILEY.
its). 1920, by VcClurt N*wapap«r synaicntt.)
John and Paul Deane married two
sisters, Mary and Elizabeth Paullson,
two sisters as different In tastes and
disposition as were the two brothers.
It was John's boast that from his earll- {
est youth he had known what his wife
should be and It was only after long
and careful deliberation that he finally
married Mary. Paul, on the other
hand, cay, laughter-loving Paul, fell
in love at first sight with Elizabeth
Paulison and their courtship was as
brief as was their engagement, for
Paul, suddenly transferred to his
firm's Boston office, insisted upon tak
ing her with him. She felt that no
more glorious lot could befall a girl
than life with Paul, and the end of
their Urst year together found her se
cure in this conviction.
It was at this time that John and
Mary wrote that they would spend one
night In Boston on their way East,
John having been called there on busi
ness. In a year of separation Eliza
beth had quite forgotten Mary's
prophecy that If she married In haste
she would repent at leisure—a
prophecy that had rankled when
spoken; and from Paul's memory had
faded John's attitude when he heard
of Paul's hurried marriage, and the
guests received a warm welcome. Paul
called a taxi and soon they were on
their way to the unpretentious apart
ment to which Paul had taken his
bride.
"This Is my first automobile ride
since I married," said Elizabeth, her
voice expressing delight, yet not con
veying an impression of regret.
"Paul should have waited to marry
until he could give you such things,
Elizabeth," John said with a smile on
his lips which did not reach his eye9.
Somehow John's smiles never did
reach his eyes.
Elizabeth laughed gayly and turned
the conversation adroitly to other
things.
"How about It, dear, should we
have waited until I had an automo
bile Income?"
"If we had, Paulus, It would have
brought the first sorrow Into my life."
Paul held her close for a moment.
The shadow had fled, and when John
and Mary Joined them they were
laughing at the antics of a diminutive
kitten.
"Elizabeth, that cat! How can you
keep such a pest?"
"Pest! Why. Paul adores that kit
ten."
John's voice Interrupted.
"You children have a pleasant little
home here, but I don't like the Idea of
Elizabeth doing her own work."
"Well, John, old man, suppose we
leave the girls to gossip and tale In n
show?"
Before John could reply, Mary's
crisp, cool tones answered for hlra.
"John lias given up the theater since
we married, and I had hoped you had
too, I'aul."
Elizabeth's laugh saved the jltua
tlon.
"flo on. save Paul if you car, Mary,
I've given up." she said as s.ie dis
appeared Into the kitchen, where M'iry
soon followed her. In the old days
Elizabeth's dexterity In the kitchen
had been u negligible quantity and the
ease with which site now prepared din
ner opened Mary's eyes.
"Oh, 1 thrive on work, John—Just
see how fast we will get these dishes
done while you boys smoke!" Again
Mary's crisp, c^ol tones informed tliein
that John had given up smoking since
he mnrried.
As the evening advanced It became
evident that now John was married
his pleasures must first be Mary's.
The evening was a trying one and the
Paul Deanes breathed a sigh of relief
when their guests left the next after
noon. It was more thnn a year before
they met again.
Then one day, quite unannounced,
John came.
"I5ut Where's Mary?" asked Eliza
beth, as she welcomed hlra.
"Mary could not come." Elizabeth
felt a sense of strain ns he uttered
these words.
| That evening, at John's suggestion,
they attended a theater, and when
they arrived home, Elizabeth retired
leaving the men smoking and talking
business until a late hour.
The day following John's departure.
Elizabeth was surprised by Mary's ap
pearance; a white, anxious Mary,
whose first question was of John.
"He has been here, but he has gone.
What Is the matter Mary?"
| "Oh, Elizabeth, I have failed; failed
utterly, and Z don't know why."
Elizabeth rose to the occasloa
I "Mary, when you visited us last year
I knew you were doomed to failure.
Tou promised to love, honor and obey
when you married John; but It Is he
that has obeyed. Go back, Mary, make
your home a delight to your husband;
learn to laugh; learn to play; Instead .
of trying to change John's tastes,
make them yours—then you will find
happiness for yourself and for him."
Mary sat silent a long time. Then:
"You are right, Elizabeth," she said,
"and you are wise. I will go back this
afternoon."
That night when Elizabeth told Paul
of Mary's coming, she saw the dawn
of a smile iu his eyes.
"Why are you laughing, Paul?"
"Thinking of John's boast that he
knew what bis wife should do."
"Well?"
"It took you. Miss Frivolity, to mold
her inn> his ideal, but John will never
[ know it" i
