AS the Livelihood of these two depended
solely upon the demand for them as
models, and as artists could no longer
give them employment, they found it
very hard to live. Then the city fell
into the hands of the communists. All
who could not fight and who had no
money, were simply consumers. For
these the communists had no use. Like
herds of sheep they were driven forth
f ON the city. Among them were the
two who had been Bacon's models.
Thepoo creatures thus cast out, turned
whithersoever their uncertain and in
definite notions directed, until they,
husband and wife, found themselves at
Bordeaux, a seaport town. 1t was not
long before the little money they had
saved was gone. The husband had
been so long a model that he was
qualified for nothing else, and
the poor wife was unable to
earn bread even for herself.
Finally the husband was employed as a
valet by an Englishman, and compelled
to part with his wife. The little money
that was advanced he gave to her. He
babe her be of good cheer, saying he
would soon return or send her money
that she might go to him. So they
parted. The wife remained. Her little
stock of money did not last long She
began anXiOusly to look for some word
from her husband. Day after day the
poor soul, now worn and hungry, would
go to the docks and scan with eager in

landed from the English packet Day
after day she turned away heartsick
and disappointed. Her mind began to

never complained. At last she ceased
to go to the dock, and wandered about
the old town in half dazed and listless
sort of way, the pity and interest of all
who gszed upon her wan but sti lovely
face being enlisted in her behalf. One
day while walking aimlessly about, she
stopped suddenly looked up and saw
her husband standing few steps away
gazing fondly on her. He opened wide
his arms and advanced towards her.
with cry she ran to him, and signing
as his arms closed warmly and lovingly
around her wasted form, she let her
sunny head fall upon his breast. She
did not speak and he held her in long
and loving embrace. He raised her
head that he might look into her true
and loving eyes, but there was no re-
Spouse in them. He called her ten
derby by name but there was no answer.
Alarmed and fearing she had swooned
he carried her into friendly door and
summoned doctor. The doctor came,
gazed at her, placed his hand to her
heart and sighed. She was dead.
The husband had gone to England,
but as he knew nothing of the English
language and could not write even, he
had waited until an opportunity came
for him to visit France that he might
take her back with him. The result

ATRUE STORY
When 1 was in Paris" continued
M. Chaplin, II was frequent visitor
at the studio of Mr.. Bacon, one of the
most successful American artists, and
one who has lived long tim in Paris.
1 noticed in his pictures the frequent
reproduction of two faces One was
that of nan. 1t was clear, from the
cast of the features and dark com.
p'exiop, he was an Italian. The other
was that OF girl. a fair, sweet face,
with a profusion of golden hair-the
perfect type of pure English
girl. Bacon said they had been
his models before the Franco-Prus-
sian war. They were both professional
models. They met, fell In love with
each other, and finally mar
ried. 1t was perfectly clear that
they loved each other devotedly, and
realized to the full the rich abundance
of happiness this life affords those who
truly love and who are truly loved
again. Well, the war came and with 1t
the death of art, at least for the time.

they would soon grow to be held in 9
distinction not unlike that accorded
them in England. As it is, they rate
with the other professions and COM
mand a Difference much inferior to that
which wealth possesses in this country.
1t is true that number of our artists
have married the daughters of very
wealthy men and by this means have
been accorded a social position which
may be considered enviab!e and which
is the result of their combined art
talents and the possession of wealth.
ARTIST BLUNTNEss AND WIT.
L. U. Vedder, the American artist,
who has practically made Rome his
home, was at one time visited by lady
desir US to inspect his studio. Vedder
is rather a rough and plain spoken
man. The lady to express her appre-
citation and display at the same time q
becoming modesty, declared that she
thought his pictures beautiful, but
added, 81 do not, OF course, know any,
thing about art, but 1 know what 1
like The beasts of the field know
that much, madam was the response
of the artist.
James Beard, the Landseer of Amer
lea, in his early life painted portraits.
On one occasion he was visited by lady
who desired to have her picture
painted. She gave the order and said:
Il want a good-loOking picture " who
will you get to sit for itP" question:
the artist.
In England there are, or were, class
of dealers who professed to handle the
old masters, and who always had one or
two bargains on hand for the accommo-
dation of Americans, then considered
certain victims whenever they set foot
inside of one of these establishments.
1t is related of Artemus Ward that on
an occasion, in company with friend,
he dropped into one of these places.
The proprietor, seeing he was an
American Immediately began to show
him the works of old masters he had
Just gotten hold of and which could be
had for a comparative trifle. Artemus
examined them very critically asked
as to thair cost, and seemed to consider
the figure placed upon thsm a mere
bagatelle to their worth. He made full
inquiry as to the means by which thew
could be sent without danger to Amer
lea; inquired closely into the method
by which they would be packed and
shipped, and when he had asked every
question that an ordinary purchaser
could possibly think of, and had gotten
the dealer into such stare that he was
confident of selling the old masters,
Artemus turned blandly around, and
remarking that he had been so greatly
interested as to forget what he came
in for, said "Have you got any eggsP ?"
to which the astounded dealer replied
No" Whereupon Artemus expressed
his regret and left.

Why, even the chrome that has grown

TREsON OF GOD THE RESCUER.
ga Sound of Falling Shackles in the
Dungeons of Despair"-"A
Widow ere . Bride

The world lay wrapt in Deaths en-
brace. The tale of the Tempter had
triumphed, and the pinious of his
power now fettered the fair limbs of
Gods beauteous creation. Earth, a
virgin, beguileo, ensnared in sin,
shrank shuddering from the touch of
her woull-b violator and destroyer.
Hark! cry for help. The captive
strives to free herself from the fell
clasp OF the foe. Summoning all her
powers, she springs erect, and, grasping
her chain. essays to rend it asunder.
1t will not yield. The links are firm,
the staple strong. Madly she tugs and
tolls. In vain, alas in vain. Baf1ed,
bruised and breathless, she sinks ex-
hausted; and the arms of the monster
Sin once more enfold her. His hot
breath blisters her cheek, his cruel
fingers clutch her throat, his fierce eyes
flame with passion. Again and again
she struggles, exertlng all her strength
to repel the foul polIuter. Alas! his
strenth is stronger, his grasp a grasp of
iron: he holds her writhing form as in
a vice, gloating over her despair, exult-
ing in her misery. and laughing to
scorn her truitless efforts to be free.
Vainly she Weeps and pleads and
prays. No mercy meIts that icy heart,
no pity beams from out that balefuIeye.
She is lost, she is lost! For who can
save her nowP Oh that virgin snould
be defled Oh that she should be
dragged into deeper depths of shame
than those in which her hayward will
and youthful folly have plunged her!

ACTORS AS ARTISTS.
Many actors of note have also been
clever painters. Joe Jefferson, whose
Rip Van Wrinkle is one of the national
triumphs, is an ardent admirer of the
works of the French artist Corrot, and
he p tinted extremely wall in that style.
Fechter was rot only a great actor
but an artist OF considerable ability
While in his earlier years he had
studied with the intention of becoming
sculptor. 1t is also said of Modjeska
that she paints with great skill in
water colors and that the labor is with
her one of love.
ART IN DRINKING SALOONS.
The craze for valuable pictures and
other works of art IN drinking saloons,
which is now rampant in the country,
is perhaps due 20 Cd. Stokes, the we'll
known sporting man aud proprietor of
the Hoffman House, New York. For
the Nymphs and Satyrs, of which there
are now countless limitations in the
country, and chromos he paid 10000.
He was offered 500, 900 for it. which he
declined, and it has been stated that
the picture, because of the custom it
drew to his sl)on, paid for itself
within six months. 1t is fact that
Ed. Stokes has adorned the saloon of
the Hoffman Hluse with paintings,
statusry and brio brac valued at not
less that 500 600. The collection is the
finest in the world-the place it is in
considered. With all the brilliance,
and lavish adjournment of gambling and
drinking houses on the Continent, there
is nothing that may be compared to this
one in the Hoffman House bar. Since
the inauguration of this method of ad-
vertising saloons, the idea has been
adopted by great many. There are
other saloons following the same idea
in New York. one in Philadelphia, and

ART CLUBS.

There are in New York to-day two
art clubs, the Lotus and the Century.
They are not confined in membership
strictly to artists. They are a Bo-
hemian combination, artists, musi-
clans, journalists and others being il
them. Hhey are of social nature, the
object not being to promote
the pursuits of which the membership
represent so much as to encourage
gooo fellowship. The Palette Club I'M
dertook to conine itself to member
ship of artists and musicians, but it
did not last. In this country artists do
not get together as they do in England
and on the continent. Their influence
is therefore less. If they were more
exclusive, it is not at all improbable

In the course of this conversation
with Mr.. Chaplin, the talk turned on
the subject of models. Said he: "The
popular idea that girls who pose as
models are lewd is a gross mistake.
With them it is business, and it is so
considered by the artist. The girls, in
the main, are most respectable and con-
duct themselves so as to maintain the
respect of the artists for whom they
pose. 1t is not the rule for them to
pose in nude condition, but of course
they do so when it is necessary. At such
times no artist will permit any
other person in his studio AS soon
as the time for which the model
has been engaged expires, she goes
away. One would hardly credit it,,
