She first studied under a woman portrait painter in Berlin; later she was a pupil of Frische in Düsseldorf, of Robie in Brussels, and of Hertel and Skarbina in Berlin. She makes a specialty of flowers, fruit, and still-life; her fruit and flower pieces are beautiful, and her pictures of the victims of the chase are excellent. <b>FLESCH-BRUNNENGEN, LUMA VON.</b> Born in Brünn in 1856.
The triumphal hero-march of the stars, the brief, bright rhyme of the flashing comet, the canticle of the rose as she bears her crimson heart to the smile of the sun, the chorus of green leaves chanting orisons to the wind the never completed epic of heaven's lofty solitudes where the white moon paces, wandering like a maiden in search of love, all these and other unnumbered joys he has lost joys that Sah- luma, child of the high gods and favorite of Destiny drinks in with the light and the air."
He silently returned the scroll to Sah- luma, who sat very still, thoughtfully stroking the long, bright curl that was twisted round his fingers like a glittering strand of spun glass, and he felt all at once so unreasonably irritated with his friend, that he was even inclined to find fault with the very grace and beauty of his person, . . the mere indolence of his attitude was, for the moment, provoking.
When he had gone, Theos looked up from the news-scroll he was perusing: "Is it not strange Niphrata should have left thee thus, Sah- luma?".. he said with a touch of anxiety in his tone ... "Maybe".. and he hesitated, conscious of a strange, unbidden remorse that suddenly and without any apparent reason overwhelmed his conscience.. "Maybe she was not happy?"...
"I pray thee, good stranger," she entreated with touching mildness, "whosoever thou art, delay me not, but let me go! ... I am but a poor love-sorrowful maid on whom Love hath at last taken pity! be gentle therefore, and hinder me not on my way to Sah- luma. I have waited for happiness so long! ... so long!"
Occasionally indeed, he glanced at the agonized creature where he lay huddled on the ground in the convulsive throes of his dreadful death- struggle, but it was now with precisely the same quiet and disdainful smile as that for which he had momentarily hated Sah- luma!
"KURDAITCHA SHOES. When a native for some reason desired to kill a member of another camp or tribe, he consulted the medicine man of his camp, and arrangements were made for a 'Kurdaitcha Luma. . . . Both medicine man and Kurdaitcha wore remarkable shoes.
The river of Manda, called Matanga, is only a departing and re-entering branch of the Lake, also the Luma and Loéla rivers some thirty yards broad have each to be examined as springs on the south of the Lake. July 29th, 1868.
Taking up the scroll of the public news, where the account of the finding of the body of Nir-jalis was written with all that exaggerated attention to repulsive details which seems to be a special gift of the cheap re-porters, Theos pointed to it. "His was a cruel end!" he said in a low, uncertain voice, "Sah- luma, canst thou expect mercy from a woman who has once been so merciless?"
Theos looked up dreamily...his eyes wandered from the King to Sah- luma as though in wistful search for some missing thing, . . his lips were parched and burning and his brows ached with a heavy weight of pain, . . but he made an effort to speak and succeeded, though his words came slowly and without any previous reflection on his own part.
