Among recent sculpture, one of the most interesting works shown is a group by C. L. Pietro, of New York, "The Mother of the Dead," a powerful story in bronze of the burden which the war has brought to woman. Another human tragedy is well told in "The Outcast," a graphic figure by Attilio Piccirilli. The honor-winners in sculpture are named in the following list. Awards
The gloomy despondence of her spirit was uppermost; and she went on, in a series of bitter musings, denouncing herself as an outcast, a worthless something, and, in the language of the sacred text, calling on the rocks and mountains to cover her.
But little did he dream that at that moment there was one poor torn sheet of foolscap in the library, casually thrust in a book, lying completely at his mercy to destroy, if he could only have known it, which was going to tear all his wealth from his grasp and drive him forth a foiled plotter, to become an adventurer and ultimately to perish a miserable outcast.
Anyway, we know with whom we have to deal, now; but some of you fellows must do the dealing I'd rather pay and keep away than ask Neergard to go easy and have him do it."

Hundreds of thousands of them, and his Julia only different because she had made herself so It seemed to Jim, in his club now, and sunk in a deep chair before the wood fire in the quiet library, that he could never marry her.

Nature seemed to me benign and good; I thought she loved me, outcast as I was; and I, who from man could anticipate only mistrust, rejection, insult, clung to her with filial fondness. To-night, at least, I would be her guest, as I was her child: my mother would lodge me without money and without price.
There was one tense gasp among the juniors almost a shriek of quivering horror, he was a heathen an outcast -beyond the extremest pale of toleration self-damned before all men. Stalky bowed his head in his hands. McTurk, with a bright and cheerful eye, drank in every word, and Beetle nodded solemn approval.
