What had becoma of th fourth Island waa an unsolved mystery. Th obvloua solution was that It waa th tare Island known aa Lauradla or Kent Maura, which Ilea close Inland to the north of th other three.

From that po:r.t Doerpfeld set out to determine which of tb Odyasean Islands was which. 11 cam to th eoncluelon that all except on had undergone a chana or confusion of names and that the Island now called Ithaca was not Horner a Ithaca at alL Homer a Itha ca ha Identirt-d with th much larger Uland of Leucadla. and it waa there, be predicted, would be found whatever remained underground of th capital and palace of Ulysses. To complete this theory Doerpfeld Identified Homer's I'ullclnon a Cepha lonla. Zakyntr.o therefor being th onlv on of the Inlands which kept Its original nam (changed, however, to Zantel. The obvious explanation of th change of namea waa th Irle Migra tion, which caused similar nam trans fers on the Ureek mainland. Purlns the migration, for Instance. Sparta and Pyloe wer destroyed, but they wer rebuilt under the old names In relatively remote spots. Th earn fat overtook Ithaca. Oalng to Its near ness to the mainland. It would natural ly he Prst Invaded by th lKrlun. and the probability Is that th expelled 1th- arar.s made f ir th neighboring Island of Seme, where they built a new Ith aca, wh'ch thereupon save Ita name to th Thole Island. The crlglnal Ithaca got Its modern name Leucadla at a later date, from Its whit cliffs. Poerpfeld's novel theory aroused op position. The Inhabitant of th lthara of today defended their Island's fame, and their claim was supported by most archaeologists, who differed only as to the particular location of th palar and other Homeric landmarks. But having satisfied himself that Leucadla waa Ithaca. Hoerpfeld act about the more troublesome task of locating th capital and the palace of Clyssea. These, he predicted, would be found on the 1'laln of Nldrl. near th modem village of Nldrl. Nldrl Ilea on th Hay of Vllrho and at th foot of Mount Pkaroe. It Is at this spot that Doerpfeld haa unearthed the colossal ruins which so brilliantly confirm hi hasardous theory. An interesting fea ture of th preliminary work waa th Identification of th "limpid fount, mentioned by Homer .In th 17th book of the Odyssey as th work of h thre kings of Ithaca. Nerltus, Ithacus and Polyctor.

W had worked together a week in our locust-grov camp, skinning and stuffing, labeling and listing, and Tom was as happy as If h wer indeed only OREGOXTAX.

At present Doerpfeld Is engaged- In further excavating the palace, but th complete uncovering will take years, owing to th nerd for fighting the ln rushlng wstsr. Much of the palace is covered with walls and graves of later date, and for these the stones of Hom er's Ithaca have been Irreverently used. A further difficulty to caused by In truding olive plantations. A recent es timate is that the palac and connected buildings cover an area of at least 200 yards square, an enormous space, con sidering th primitive culture and lm ple life of Greece In th herolo age. Doerpfeld's second most Important dlecovery is the royal tombs. These wer discovered after long searching at a great distance beneath th surface. IS. eo absorbed was he that It seemed safe to leave htm hours at a time, as I r9w often did on searches of my own. On day after we had finished pack ing a box of specimens and Tom had laid oat a full day's work for himself. In which I could b of no- use, and at a tlm when I had begun to feel se cure in his condition as showing no sign of change. I decided to spend th day some six miles distant to take ob servations on a mirage visible fre quently from the place where w were. When I returned at dusk I found Tom ssleep under a locust tree In tb yard. I saw that ha had finished only about half of th work he bad planned for the day, so that h must hav been sleeping soma hours. As I moved about the campflre place preparing to get supper, at some inadvertent noise of mine ha turned over, sat up slowly as If still sleepy. "Hello, old fellow," I called out as I flourished a frying pan, "if anybody wants hot flapjacks now." But I was stopped by his look of bwlldrmenc "What's this?

"Oh, we'v been trapping and hunting a bit but let's hav supper, and talk about things after." I felt that all th wisdom of all the doctors could not have helped me here; there seemed to be nothing to do but wait. He would not eat said he wanted to think a bit. and sat with his head In his hands for mor than an hour. I went to bedSunder my own locust tr, and lay watching him until, near midnight, h turned to his bed and soon fell asleep. I roA and sat by th fire until signs of morning, then slept an hour or two myself. When I awoke. Tom was busy about the fire, and said as soon as be saw me stirring. T re member all that happened until the hour that mother you will hav to tell me what came after; I know nothing." Sparing all I could I told him all that had taken place. Including th tact that he had thought himself but 16 fears old. and that he had In a sort realized the wish he had made on his way home six months ago that he might go bsck to his boyhood. When I spoke of Isabel Droone. he was silent. I did not tell him that he had thought that she was his mother all those weeks. When I spoke of returning home he said, "not yet, not yet. Why should I ever go? What is ther ther for me but a grave." But I remembered the look on Isabel Droone's face when sh bad us fare well, and resolved that not many days should go by. before she should see th man ah loved come back from a far country and a Strang peril. JTJXE 1911. Above them are a number of relatively modern Roman graves. The tombs sup posed to be those of the royal bouse of Ithaca number five. All are circular. The great royal grave is about 30 feet In diameter, and consists of a solid block of masonry with a square chamber, llnej with limestone blocks, in the center. The chamber meaeurea four and a half feet by six feet. The limestone comes from the adjacent plain of Nldrl. . The I th scans buried their dead In a crouching position, with the knees close underneath the chin. Nowhere are the tomba intact to their original height, which Doerpfeld estimates as three feet. They were probably surmounted with a high mound of earth or stone and bore columns or steles on top. It Is the careful construction of these HOW TAFT WILL CONQUER HE AT DURING HOT MONTHS OF SUMMER attention. But all eatables and refresh ments used, by the presidential party while aboard these craft they pay for prl -ately, unless distinguished foreign guests ar being officially entertained aboard, in which case the hospitality Is paid for out of the "neutrality fund," always at th command of th Stat Department. While th Bylph will probably re main at the Washington navy yard all Summer, the more commodious May flower will doubtless bs at the Presi dent's command while he Is at Beverly. The President's quarters are aft on the main deck, and Include six staterooms for the use of bis family and friends. Tbo President' Stateroom. . Mr. Taft's stateroom, furnished dur ing the Roosevelt Administration, has whit enameled woodwork decorated with gold, and the walls are paneled with silk. Th billows rock the Chief Executive to sleep in a brass bedstead, and when he and his family rise they may take their morning dips in any of four bath tubs, each cut from a solid block of whit marble. The moklng-room, never put to full us by Taft or Roosevelt neither of whom nses the weed occupies the after portion of the spar deck, and Is a cozy lounging place with Inlaid floor, cane chairs and sofas of the same material. When the. Presidential party eat aboard, they sit at a table surrounded by Louis XIV appointments in white and gold. The light falls upon them through mahogany-rimmed skylights, and their figures are reflected by a large gold-framed mirror which stretches Its oval above the carved mantel of Italian marble. The viands which they eat have been stored in a modern refrigerating plant, near which Is a wine room for use on state occa sions. After th repast, which the President always a good sailor en Joys with the same relish bestowed upon his viands ashore, be adjourns bis party to a reception room, finished in the same white and gold, and adjoining a library, whose shelves of flemish oak are well stocked with books of the kind that help one to forget th beat of the city left behind.

Doerpfeld has found that the original graves have been rifled, and that the few objects found in them belong to a later epoch. The largest tomb yielded only fragments of mono chrome pottery. The yields of the group of three tombs wene richer. Here Doerpfeld found bronxe daggers, a burial urn con taining bones, monochrome pottery, a silver arm-band, and spiral wires with buttons at the end. The latest report CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 tertainments and is a peaceful picture for the Presidential family to rest eyes upon in the evenings spent at home, upon their private balcony opening soutnward from the blue room, where on state occasions the Chief Magistrate receives his official guests. This porch commands a view of Potomac Park, the Washington Monument, the Potomac and the Virginia hills, and is a safe re treat from the trying gaze of the curi ous, who would not hesitate to reach up and clip the Presidential shoestrings for souvenirs did the tenant of the Ex ecutive mansion dare to sit out upon his north portico. At the Ball Game. Sometimes President Taft goes out to the new ball park to see the Nationals play the visiting teams. He makes it a rule to attend the opening game and toss out the first ball to be pitched. At these and all other entertainments he is Invariably accompanied by his compan ion and military aid, Major Archibald Butt, who takes an. unusual Interest In the game when his boyhood friend and fellow-townsman, "Ty" Cobb, is playing with the visitors. A pass engTaved Hipon a solid plate of silver will admit the President and his party to a box at any game which he desires to witness at Boston during his Summer trip to Beverly. A horseback ride Is now and then enjoyed by the President and Major Butt after a hard day's -work, for, de spite the fact that he does not own a carriage which can be drawn by equines Mr. Taft believes in the truth of the old adage that "the best thing for the Inside of a man is the outside of a horse." On these jaunts the President customarily rides his big brown-pointed bay horse Sterret, which stands 16 hands high and which weighs 1270 pounds. Although fond of angling, the Presi dent has not been noted for Indulgence In this sport since his inauguration. In former days, one of his favorite haunts was the Bass Islands, off San dusky, Ohio, where he plied the rod and reel. As a pedestrian, the chief magistrate Is no laggard, as proved when with John Hays Hammond and Major Butt he some time ago took a four-mile "breather" before Sunday dinner. For these trips the automobile takes him to the outskirts of the city, where he alights and orders the car either to follow him or meet him at a given point. Sea bathing Is a favorite Summer di version,' in whose enjoyment the Presi dent will be rather handicapped this Summer, after his removal to Beverly. The large shore - cottage on Burgess Point which he occupied the past two Summers, had a private bathing beach within its own immediate domain, but Its owner having decided to move it In , Is that at a distance from these several ; other tombs have been unearthed, yielding vases, urns, necklaces of gold beads, silver arm bands, bronze vessels,, and obsidian knives, the last showing . that Ithaca at the time of Ulysses was still partly in the age of stone. Doerpfeld is going on with his work. The interest of Wilhelm II is one of his incitements to persevere. The Kaiser believed in the Leucadla theory, visited the island and presented the excavators with one of the famous portable buildings, of which he later sent several hundred to Messina. : Doerpfeld 'hopes, if funds permit, to complete the excavation of Ulysses' palace without delay, and thus lay bare the scene of some of the most touching and romantic events in Homer's famous epic. sections and ferry it across Salem Bay to Marblehead, Mr. Taft has had to look elsewhere this Summer, and Paramatta, the cottage which he has just leased, is a mile back from the ocean, although crowning a high hill overlooking that majestic expanse of water. So the Pres ident will have to go far from home if he concludes to breast the billows. However, there is compensation in all things, and the President's in this Instance will be the fact that his new Summer home is nearly a mile nearer to his favorite Beverly haunt, the My opia golf links, than was his former cottage.

Mr. Howard shifted his gaze from the sharp-toothed Pomeranian to what he could find of its mistress' green eyes back of the cloud of rose chiffon.
