The artist took great pleasure in looking at

that lovely image Oh the wall, and It's braull-
iul features and expression calmcd his heart
and made him happy again. Many Il vi>It,r
III his studio wished to purchase hal bcaull,
l'ul face but though poor, and often IN need
uf money to purchase tood and clothes, nc
would not sell his good angel as he called
this portrait.
80 the years went on. Oltrntmrs as nc
looked at the face on glowing canvas, he Won
tlcrvd what had become Of that boy.
"llow should like to see how he looks
now. wonder if should know him? Is
he Il good man and true, or wicked and aban-

One day the artist was strolling down one
Of the fine walks Of the city, when he brhcld
il nu,l whose face and mcin were 50 vicious,
50 almost licnd.Iikc, that he involuntarlly

said the artist.
The young man followed the painter for Il
sketch When it wa> finished and he ha'l
received Il few coins for his trouble, he turned
to 70; but his eyes rested on the picture oi
the boy he looked ut it, turned palc, and
burst into tears.
"Whal troubles YOU, young man." said the
painter. 1t was long before the young man
could speak he sobbcl aloud and seemed
pierced with agony.
At last he pointed up to the picture on the
wall, and with broken tones that seemed to
conc from Il broken heart, said
"Twcnty years ago You asked me to sit for

The artist wa> amazed. He could scarcely
believe his own eyes and ears.

Young man told his sad and dreadful story !;
how being an only son and very beautiful his

1t WAS Il fearful tale, and brought tears to
the artists eyes. He bcSought the young man
