The prone-romnnce enme late In their development. The novel nnd the nhort ntory ns they knew them for centurlrn were embodied la the Illnd nnd Odynney. Whether one poet wrote the Illnd and the Odynney linn been a question thnt hnn bunted many thonannds of mlndn. The perfect form In which they fanvc come down to nn proven clenrly thnt mnny centuries contributed to the per fecting of the literary ntyle In which they nre written. The dlncnsnlonn over the "Homeric Problem" hnve lnld the bnnln for literary nnd biblical criticism In modern scholarship. T'lK elders of tho Trojans from their seats upon the Scaean gato looked down upon tho hosts of Greeks nnd Trojans mar shaled In tho plain. For nlno .long years tho armies hnd contended. Why had Agamemnon brought tho men of many cities to fight around tho walls of Priam's Troy? What was It all about? riomer sings of tho wrath of Achilles, but tho beginning of all tho trouble goes back of that, to tho tale of n princely shepherd on a night sur prised ns ho watched his flocks upon tount Ida. Tho goddesses Hern, Mheno nnd Aphrodite mnko him choose one of tiie world-old wishes; tho Judgment of Paris Is for n fair face nnd love. To fulfill her promlso Aphrodlto lends him to King Mcno laus' court In Sparta. Back to Troy Paris brings Queen Ilclen nnd great treasure. A hue and cry follow throughout Greece; Menolaus calls to his help tho great overlord, his brofl er Agamemnon, Achilles tho sacker of cities, wily Odysseus, venerable and genial Nestor, nnd all the chivalry of the land with men nnd ships to make war on Troy. Others must pay for tho wrong doing of Paris old King Priam of tho Ashen Spear, his vcncrablo queen, nccuba. Hector nnd Ids noblo wlfo Andromache, his little son Astyannx, Cassandra and, all tho rest whom tho toll of war Involves. Other stories of tho many Greek oplcs, now lost, bring tho talo of warring years up to tho tenth; where tho Iliad, begins. Hector Is tho lender of tho Trojans; Acldllos has been tho great fighting force of tho Greeks, though now ho has with drawn In anger to his tent because of a slight put upon his honor by King Agamemnon. Tho hosUlo forces arc advancing to Uio battle; a dramatic moment brings Mcnclnns and Paris In sight of ono an other. The wrath of Hector blazes out against Paris for all tho evil and nliamo hla theft of women and wealth havo brought Tho gay and debonair Paris, however, can show splendid moments. "Hector, thy taunt Is Just But throw not at mo tho lovely gifts of golden Aplirodltc. The glorious gifts Uiat the gods give oro not to bo flung nwny; no man could tnko them by mcro willingness. But if Uiou doest wish mo to battlo and fight mnko all tho rest of tho Trojans and Achalnns sit down, and put mo In Uio midst with warlike Mcnelnus to fight for Helen and nil her goods, to seo who shall conquer nnd prove tho better man; lot tho rest conclude a friendship of trusty oaths; may yo dwoll in fortilo Troyland, nnd tho others go back to Argos, nurso of steeds, and Achala of fair women." So It was that the hosts sat in high expectation In Uio plain, and Priam tuid tho Trojan elders wero, gaUiered on Uio Scaean gnto. And Prium, who horo no errudgo against Helen for all Uio misery her fair faco had brought to him nnd Troy for ho saw Uio Imnds of Uio gods In It all called her to Ids sldo to tell him of tho chiefs among whom sho had onco Uvihi. Then Uioso ciders, who hnd long slnco seen their fighting daya, paid Uio finest compliment u woman's beauty lias over received how many Uiousand years ngo? as they saw Helen nd- vnnrine. "No'cnuso lor anger mat; Trojans nnd wcll-greaved Achalans for such n woman loug tlmo should suffer Borrow." Not anoUier word! But thoso old men upon the wall havo drawn foT you and mo a picture of Tlu World's Desire. "But even so," they conUnucd. "lot hor go homo noon tho ships nnd stay not as a source of sorrow to us and to our children after us: The high hopes of setUlug all Uio troubles by tho duel of tho charu plons were in vain. Thq contest wna Inconclusive and Uio truce was brok en. Tho scene chnnges to Troy Itself. In an Intcrvnl of the battlo great Hec tor of Uic Glancing Helm hnd gone to tho cltndcL And there ho said fnrc wcll to Andromache, his wife, and to his little boy, n picture thnt has never been surpassed for truo tenderness nlthough it was so many hundred years ago. He smiled and looked upon tho llttlo boy In silence. J'Ah, Hector," sho cried, "stay here upon the wnlll Thou art to me father and mother nnd brother, too, as well as lord. The foo will attack Uico ulunol" "I know tho day shaU come," ho answered, "when holy Bios shnll perish, and Priam and the folk of Prlnm of tho goodly Ashen Sponr. But thought of him, of my mother, of my broUiers, docs not trouble me so much ns that somo warrior of the Achalnns shall rob Uico of tho day of freedom." Ho stretched out his hnnd to the HtUe boy, who shrunk back to his nurse's breast In fear of tho bronzo nnd tho horsc-hnlr crest that nodded dread fully from tho top of tho helm. Straightway Hector took off tho helm and placed It on the ground. And when ho hnd kissed his son nnd tossed him In his arms, ho spoko in prayer to Zeus and the rest of tho gods 5 "Grant, yo gods, that this son of mine prove foremost nmong tho Trojans, n good and mighty king. And ns he comes hack from battle may many a man say of him, 'A far better man than his father, and may his mother rejoice In heart" And then ho hand ed him hack to his mother, who re ceived him smiling through her tears, and so departed to tho battlo with words of high cheer. There follow many scenes of va ried action tho Blad Is one of the great collections of short stories in tho world's literature, In which Is given n perfect picture of the llfo of that lordly society of so long ago. Tho plain people play llttlo part al though their champion, Thersltes, Is the first democrat mentioned in liter ature. Mighty deeds of derring-do, high adventure, love of lords nnd la dles, tho pranks of merry children all aro preserved, as It were, In nmber, and Uie sentiment for tho most part is so modern that it Is almost Impossi ble to believe that we are reading of pcoplo who lived many hundreds of years before Christ was born. But over all Impends ono dreadful fate. It Is a Greek talc yet Hector, prince and leader of the foe, is tho hero of tho story. Of course he is not quite so strong, not quite so great a fighter as Achilles, the Greek cham pion, and all know that In the end Achilles will win. Tho great scenes nro worked up to with consummate ar tistry. Achilles Is sUll sulking In his tont; Hector Is pressing tho Greeks hnrd; Patroclus, Achilles' dearest friend, begs his chief to let him don his lord's armor and save his people; he has .his way and Hector slnys him. Achilles' anger blazes forth In all Its passion. What now n petty slight? Tho great scene of tho bnttle between tho two Inspires tho poet to nil his noblest power. They fight; Achilles pursues Hector thrice nround tho walls of Troy; Zeus weighs In golacn scales the fates of tho two; Hector Is doomed to dlo; Inexorable destiny may not be stayed. Achilles slays Hector, and every heart but that of tho victor is wrung with the pity of It nil. And in the end, even Achilles' heart Is moved. For old King Priam can neither sleep nor eat while his son's body lies dead In the camp of tho foe. Against the will of all that was dearest to him he gathered great store of ransom and mado his way by night under Uio kindly guidance of tho gods to Achilles tent nnd sought for the body of his dear son. It is a scene of lovo and pity, of chivalry and greatness of heart that all the years slnco then have never seen surpassed. "Bo not angry with me, Patroclus," prayed Achilles, "if thou shalt learn In Hades' house that I have given bnck noble Hector to his dear father." And Patroclus, one may be sure, shared tho pity of all bravo men and all true women ever since. Copyright, 1919. by the Post Publishing Co. (Tho Boston Post). Copyright In the.

Tho most curious contract ovor en tered Into by an operatic star was surely that of Farlnelll, who, about tho year 1734, was deriving an income of 5,000 per annum. Tho singer af terwards visited Spain, where tho king, Philip V, was suffering from mental depression, from which noth ing aroused him until Uio advent of Farlnelll. Tho queen was so dcllghti cd to sec her royal Bpouso onco mora interested in anything, Uiat she en gaged Farlnelll at nsalary of 2,000 to remain In Madrid.
