LATTER Iv.--FATaER BESwELn HITS.
Art has its trials .as well as its tn
umphs. 1t is powerless to assert itself
against the sordid interests of everyday
life. The greatest book ever written,
the finest picture ever painted, appeals
in vain to minds preoccupied by selfish
md secret cares. On entering Lord
Loring's gallery Father Benwell found
but one person who was not looking at
the pictures under false pretenses.
Innocent of all suspicion of the con-
flicting interests whose struggle now
centered in himself. Romayne was care
fully studying the pictures which had
been made the pretoxt for inviting
him to tho house. He had bowed to
Stella, with tranquil admiration of her
beauty he had shaken hands with Pen
rose, and had said some kind words to
his future secretary and then he had
turned to the picture, as il Stella and
Penroso had ceased from that moment
to occupy his mind,
"In your place." he said, quietly,
to Lord Loring, 81 should not buy this
work"
"Why not?"
"It seems to me to have the serious
defect of the modern English school of
painting, A total want of thought in
the rendering of the subject, disguised
under dcXterous technical tricks of the
brush. When you have seen one of
that mans pictures, You have seen all.
He manufactures doesn't paint"
Father Benwell came in while Ro-
mayne was speaking. He went through
the ceremony of introduction to the
master of Vange Abbey with perfect
politeness, but little absently. His
mind was bent on putting his suspicion
of Stella to the test of confirmation.
Not waiting to be presented, he turned
to her with the air of t therly interest
and chnstened admiration which he
we'll knew how to assume in his inter-
course with women.
"NIay L ask if you agree with Mr..
Romayne's estimate of the picture he
said, in his gentlest tones,
She had heard of him and his posi-
tion in the house. 1t was quite need
less for Lady Loring to whisper to her,
"Father Bcnwell, my dear !'' Her an
tipathy identified him as readily as her
sympathy might have identified man
who had produced favorable impress
sion on her. 81 have no pretention to
be critic" she answered, with frigid
politeness. 81 only know what per-
sonally like or dislike"
The reply exactly answered Father
Benwoll's purpose. 1t diverted Ro-
mayne's attention from the picture to
Stella, The priest had secured his OPP
portunity of reading their faces while
they We're looking at each other.
81 think you have just stated the
true motive for all criticism" Romayne
said to Stella. "Whether we only ex-
press our opinions of pictures or books
