Di0 Luders was NOT q common artist, in
deed But fate seemed 10 have been against
hin. For some unusual reason or anot her
bis pictures nad a ways failed or met with
but trifing recognition. His unrec0m-
pensed LABOR had driven him 10 reduced cir
cumstauces, and this may have had some
thing 70 90 with his non-success. II is al
most as hard for 4 camel 10 60 through the
eve Of a needle IS for Il poor man TO attain
the heights Of worldly victory.
HIS sole friend was the trusting woman
who now stood a. his side. She loved him
for the troubles he had passed, and he wor-
SHIPPED her in return more than existence
itself TO her be was the prince Of men,
and her devotion was his one inspiration
and JOY.
The hope OF reaching position whereby
be could sustain her comfortably as his
wife had Kept his brush very busy for many
long months. He had come 10 regard fame
a. but a means 10 this end Of marriage.
She was unqualinedly the object Of his
future-the one cOviced possession Of his
life Failure to secure her meant the de
struction of every ambition and every care
for continued being.
He was quite too close an approach TO the
soul Of honor to yield to his love and wed
her without first being prepared TO maia-
tain her properly. He was one Of the scru-
pulous sort whose rewards, it seems, are al
ways tardy-sometimes too tardy 10 avail,
et any rate in The world.
To-day ne had failed again-his picture
seemed plagiarism Of the one that had
preceded il but a few hours. Yet never had
he been within miles of the ateier OF MS
successful contemporary. The painting
represented a sublime sunrise effect at a
certain romantic spot on one OF the bouie-
wards a short distance from Paris. The
work had required many visits to the loca-
ton, and much skill and unremitting toll.
And he had had great hopes-yea, conf
dence-only to carry his picture back 70 his
home feeling as though it were mill stone
about his neck.
He fourd consolation, as usual, in Frances,
the loved one She cheered him and en-
couraged HIM. the failure causing her TO
lose not one iota OF faith in his ultimate sue
cess, ana ere he left her he had resolved on
an attempt far more ambitious than any
thing be had yet tried.
