AN OLD PORTRAIT.
Supposed 10 BE tine work of AN Old Mas

While travelling in New Hampshire last
summer, Mr.. Payson, Cashier of the Merchants
National Bank. stopped at q little tavern in
one OF the country towns where he espied, be.
hind the door of the dining-room, an old Dor
trait which excited his curiosity. The more he
examined it, the more certain he became that
it must be The work of an old master. The
owner said he bought it for trifs at the auc-
tion sale of the Rev S. Ell. Riddell's effects, at
the time of that gentleman's death at Tam
worth, where he had been settled for the thir-
teen years prior to his decease. The tavern
keeper said he had buiIded aircastles ON the
picture but had never made his fortune off Of
it.
Mr.. Payson bought the portrait and began to
hunt mp its ancestry. He discovered that the
ancestor of Rev. Mr.. Riddell was one of three
brothers who came to America in 1877 from
England The family dated back to the Nor
man conquest, had obtained barony at one
period, was referred to by Sir Walter Scott in
the Lay Of the last Minstrel" and also that
in the possession of the family were documents
relating to certain of their members of a form
er century from tue hand of Pope Adrian. Mr.
Riddell, the owner Of the portrait at the time
of his decease, had been editor of the Boston
Recorder, and secretary of the American Edu-
cational Society.
The portrait is that Of Cardinal Borromeo
canonized by Paul V. in 1910. The Borromeon
islands, those fair like resorts in Lake Mag
glove, are familiar to all Italian travellers aud
on the charming Isola Bella stands the monu-
ment to the saint, while roek-crystal casket
at Milan, contains his remains. The cardinal
was noted for his virtues and for his noted re-
forms. His greatest work was standing by the
city of Milan during the plague of 1916, super
intending the burial of the dead and care OF
sick when the local magistrates fed the city.
The canvas is very much worn but the coll
oring of the picture has remained fairly vivid.
The face is that of a devotee, and the features
are those of a man OF marked character. The
fesh-tint is solid and accurate. The express
sion ia strong and earnest. The pose of the
head is that of man bowling in awed reyer-
ence before the crucifx, which bears the cody
of the Savior, aud seeming to obtain some di-
vine recognition that others if present, coad
not have seen. There is an intensity in the
gaze, that is that of q religiousu enthusiast. The
nose is very prominent and peculiar, the ex-
preston of the mouth and chin, with the thin
line of beard and moustache that of an as
celtic. The forehead is broad, high ana noble
The figure, which Is a half-length, is clad in
the scarlet robes of cardinal, and the hands
are clasped as in prayer These hands are ex-
csedingly well done. Mr.. 81. B. Brown, the
artist, thinks that part of the dress may have
been retouched The director of the palace of
art at Milan has written to Mr.. Payson and
asked for photograph Of the picture. He say o
many distinguished artists of the period, took
portraits of the cardinal. The artist'sIname on
this portrait cannot be deciphered.

sa,I.facrerr Rire Alarm1e .,.

The committee on fire department were OF
the idea that the engines called out by a Sec
ond alarm, from different box than that from
which the first alarm was sounded, would start
for the first box, not stopping to count the
second alarm, and last night determined to
give the matter test Accordingly Chairman
Gallagher and Messrs. Beal and Birne went to
Box Z, corner of Oxford and Mayo streets, and
pulled in an alarm at twenty-five minutes past
nine. 1t seemed but a moment before the
street was filled with excited people. Fireman
Brown, who was there minute after the
alarm struck, wanted to learn who bad struck
it, and man in store and one in the house
were the only persons who had KEY, and
neither of them had opened the box. He was
quietly informed how matters stood. In iust
two minutes after the alarm had been sounded
Casco put in an appearance, followed in less
than half minute later by Portland 2. Ma
chigonne was five minutes in getting there.
the indicator in the house denoting Box g. The
ladder trucks we're all prompt.
A a few minutes later an alarm was sounded
from BOX g., corner of Green and Cumberland
streets, ruDg in by Chief Engineer Cloyes
1t was just 9.27 o'clock when Box had
ceased ringing, and Chief Cloyes pulled Box
81. The idea of the committee was to see how
the boys read their indicators. They perhaps
imagined some of the companies might think
it second alarm from Box z, and run to that
II they did they were disappointed, for the
pieces of apparatus that respond to Box 81
appeared all right. Ia just three minutes En-
CINE IA hose carriage arrived at the box. fol-
lowed at intervals OF about half a minute by
the following pieces: Engine 3's hose cart,
Hook and Ladder Co. No. 8, Engines and A.
Only one driver said he was little mixed, and
he said he wanted to run to Box 7. Engine
came from Spring street, the others from
Bracket street.
The promptness and correctness with which
the alarm was answered shows that our fire de-
partment is in high state of efficiency, and
they are deserving of much credit for their ac-
ton.
