THE ARTISTS PUPIL
It was the Lady Clara Curzon‘s firs?
London season. Six montt-s before,
she had romped in the nu1se13 adom-
ed with a pinafore and pigtail but now
she was bursting the bud and devel-
oping into a society rose of the fat-
est blush. To effect this development
her mother, the Duchess of Braccring.
a celebrated.beauty in her time, had
sacrificed much, though, like the Spar-
tans of _old, she - concealed the
troubles which gnawed at her vitals
with quiet dignity and considerable
tact. Every one hazarded that a
break-up of some kind must sooner or
later take place, for the ducal estates
were heavily encumbered, and the
financial position of the noble family
was becoming more and more rotten

ed her court attire with little respect.
She had
er said—from wayward ancestors who
had wedded where eyes and heart and
not reason had dictated; hence the
fragile state of the family purse from
which the duchess, herself veined with
spotless tracings of effete blue, had
now to suffer.
“I mean to marry some one who is
talented and artistic,” Lady Clara an-
nounced, when suitors were talked of;
“not a popinjay who will divide his af-
fections between me and a racing sta-
ble.”

euis 21nd entitled her to a-prominent
position among the select coterie
known as “Souls.”
The allusion to the racing stable
poked at a jaunty young duke who
was first favorite in her mother’s cal-
culations. Second in the running
came a millionaire, son of a prosperous
manufacturer, whose name was ig-
nored by Lady Clara, in spite of its
oft—repeated emblazonmcnt on board-
ings and advertisement sheets. The
youth himself, who was not “in soci-
ety." was privately known to the
in consequence
wherein the aristocratic-signatures of
g the lady and the clerklike autograph
i of his father sat check by sowl.
Mr.
Blakewell junior was in fact a solic-
itor, though a sleepingpartner in the
paternal concern, and he was profes-
sionally aware of one or two harrow-
ing details in the Bracerings’ financial
history. Painfully aware, too, be-
cause alas! he had, like the cats who
look unreservedly at kings, taken in
, every beautiful line of Lady Clara’s
young beauty; because he had gazed
on her from afar—at the opera, the
Savoy, Niagara; because, wherever
money could carry him, there he had
been for the express purpose of feast-
ing his eyes on the one object he had
ever looked upon to love.
When, therefore, the hcontumacious
Clara twisted her pert little nose at
the horsey duke, her parent’s dis-
tressed thoughts rebounded to the
manufacturer, for his calling of the
law she looked upon as merely :1 seem
1y veil to cover the aggressive com-
plexion of the world-famed trade.
“You might marry a wealthy par-
venu who would set the old house on
its legs again,” the lady ventured to
hint. “Remember that your face is
your only fortune, my darling.”
“And a very nice face, too. I mean
to marry some one who’ll appreciate
it—paint it, or sing odes to it—anything
but plant it at the head of a ta-
ble like an idealized ‘Aunt Sally’ for
people to fling compliments at;” and
Lady Clara danced OE With Miss Ray~
mood to sit for a picture that Selwin
Forrest, A. R. A., was in act of re-
touching.
Between the artist and Eldred, Lady
Clara’s views were taking a Bohemian
1 turn, highly disconcerting to her an
happy mamma, and, during the Duch-
ess‘ next interview with the solicitor
she made haste to bemoan her daugh
ter's vagaries. She has almost prom
ised an introduction, and in the pres-
ent state of affairs was duly aware
that the manufacturers’ son stood lit
tle chance, and. moreover, that any at
tempts at coercion might make the al
ready restive little filly totally ungov-
ernable. ’
“It was the greatest mistake hav
ing her portrait painted,” she groaned
”my child has picked up the studio jar
gen, and raves about ‘valnes,’ and al
The solicitor blushed deeply; he un-
derstood his client's timely hint—the
almOst apology for his disappointment
that lurked in her speech.
,“If Lady Clara should change,” he
said, passing his fingers through the
crisp crinkles of his hair, and looking
9‘ rnestly across the table.
‘I should be happy to :15" you to
Ringtowers. to introduce you—”
“As a friend?” he questioned.
“As a friend,” the lady echoed. _
“And if”——he blushed again—“if,” he
stammered. :
“If.” said the Duchess. composedly,
lifting her eyes from a——to her-odious
box that contained some documents re-
lating to family debts, “if then you
succeeded in winning my daughter‘s
friendship, affection, well, you would
have my good wishes.”
She held out her hand.
young man—he was romantic and in
love—bent and kissed the thin gloved
fingers.
“Thank you,” he said simply.
“But she won’t change,” the Duchess
said, in parting; “my suggestion was
purely hypothetical. She is on guard;
the bare suspicion of trade or money
sets her off at a tangent.”
- *‘ =l= * t * t t
Some weeks ._later the august lady
condescended to eavesdropping. _ She
was driven to it by the marked change
in her daughter’s manner, by the
lengthy confabulatio'ns which invaria-
bly took place between the girl friends
after their periodical visit to the stu-
dio—visits which seemed to have been
1epeated unnecessarily often of late.
“He said be admired my picture from
the first day it was outlined ”in
charcoal,” Lady Clara Was explaining
to her chum; “he tried to copy it be-
fore he knew me.”
“Mr. Forrest ought not to have in-
troduced him. Your mother would
be ho1rified. ”
‘But he didnt; I remember well, it
is just three weeks ago—the day you
weren’t well enough" to go with me.
Mr. Forrest apologized, explained that
his pupil ought not to be there, had
made a mistake in the day, and he was
sending him away. Then I said there
was no reason why he should .5, and
so Jock stayed and painted in a dis-
tant co1ner.’
‘And how did you know his name
was Jock?” -
"011, because I heard him called so.
You know the picture ‘Jock o'Hasel-
dine’? He sat for it to oblige Mr. For-
rest. He is my Jock, now—I am sure
of it; if only we were alone, we might
tell each other all that our eyes have
been saying.”
"Oh, eyes talk quite enough." said
Miss Ray mond; “too much, I should
say. from what I saw this morning.”
The eavesdropper did not wait to
hear more. She rushed down stairs.
intending to write to Mr. Forrest and
make a pretext by which the sittings
should be abandoned. But, pen in
hand, she changed her mind 3113‘ such
action, would prove the eavesdmnninr:
N0 h ‘"‘3’ 1‘ 4311.5
and the
l she must act openly and sin-prise the
situation. The next morning nearly
an hour after her daughter's departure
for the studio, the ducal carriage ar-
rived at the artist’I house. The irate
parent sped through the doorway, and
made straight for the studio. She
meant to confront the wretched up-
start who had undermined her daugh:
ter’s heart and give the‘ painter-old
enough, she had thought, to be‘ trust-
ed—a lesson to beremembered.
As she swept into the room, her an-
gry eyes focussed- the tableau in an
painter at his easel; Eldred by a stove;
draperies-on the model’s throne; the’
instant. Her child—exquisite in lawn
leading; and bunched up on a low
stool, with his velveteen clad back
turned, and his knees supporting his
water-color block, the hateful pupil.
At the burst of the opening door the
painter and Lady Clara simultaneous-
ly looked up, and the latter grew pale
to the lip. She saw the pent storm
on her mother’s eyebrows, and, by an
unreasoned impulse, jumped from the
throne and placed herself before the
object of her adoration with an air of
protegtion—of defiance.
Suddenly Her Grace of Bracering
stood transfixed, and the art pupil,
who had hurriedly risen, blushed and
bowed with difierence.
Mr. Forrest came to the rescue.
“This gentleman is my pupil. As his
time is limited, your daughter was
good enough to say he need not dis-
continue his work on her account.”
To Clara’s amazement her parent
smiled.
“Very considerate my daughter,” she
said; “her love of art overrides the con-
venances. Fortunately M. Blakewell
and I are acquainted—though I was not
aware of his talent,” she pointedly
added. ~
Then they shook hands.
“I was scarcely aware of it myself,”
Blakewell said, awkwardly, “till—till
about three weeks ago. My friend
Forest advised me to rake up my
paints and go on with, some early
work and with—with kind encourage-
ment”——he threw a worshipful eye on
Lady Cla1a—“I”————
“The object of my v1s1t ” the dutch-
ess interrupted, “is to say that we are
unexedly ‘called to Ringtowers; we
leave tonight.”
Clara's face, which had partially
cleared, became gray with constern-
ation. -
“But Mr. Forrest's picture,"
cried, tremulously.
“It can be brought down there it he
likes.”
“Thank
uneasily.
“And Mr.-—Mr.”—Clara ' began. with
big tears magnifying her eyes—“what
will he do?”
“Oh, Mn Forrest is welcome to bring
his pupil with him.

tion to Ringtowers?”

Mrs. John E. Griffith was in Ohio

Griffith‘s husband is a Representative

decided to vote against Senator Hanna.
Later he seemed convinced that this
-course would be wrong. and so joined
the Hanna column. ’Twas then Mrs.
Grifiith jumped into the arena. She
was cajoled, kidnapped, threatened,
but to no purpose. Griflith resented
the persuasion that had beeen attempt:

lic card declaring it his intention to
rote against'Mr. Hanna notwithstand-

But eventually, when the Legislature

This affair recalls the memorable

What a Frenchman, Noted in Traveling
Through Our Country.
A French engineer who has been on
. tour of inspection in the States was
lot impressed by the big things of the
.ountry. “I shall report to my Gov-
.rnment,” says he “that the biggest
hings in America. are the little things.
the French people are experts in do-
uestic economy, and live comfortably
1y saving what average families in the
States throw away. But Americans
.re, on the other hand, experts in in-
iustrial economy. They make money
1y saving wastage in business and lose
nine of it by wastage in domestic
conomy. The attention paid to small
letailis in big works is amazing to
no; I have visited some establishments

is a. hundred of our ordinary grind-
1tones cost, but I see that it automat-
cally grinds all the tools for three
1undred high-priced machanics, and
t only works a. few hours each day.
i‘he skilled mechanics in our country

grind their own tools, and then they
