PRETTY LADIES FROM PIrrsBuRc

The man of brush and palette proved
quite pleasant fellow. Having removed a
short briar-root pipe from his mouth he re-
marked that the Twelve-Mile Inn was his
present place of abode, and a very agreeable
one at that. He was the solitary
male artist in town, but the Ladies'
of the Pittsburg School of Des;gn
had come up to Wurtemburg in full force
for a weeks sketching. They were under
the surveillance OF Miss Henderson tn.
design school principal, and had located
themselves in several of the prettiest
houses. Up the Connoquenessinp there
was camp of Philadelphia art students
and few well-known Landscape painters
were staying in farm houses down the same
river.
During TINS conversation the reporter and
his new friend pursued their way mn The
street, and presently reached the bridoe
which spans Slippery Rock creek and
leads to the more elevated part of the tow
From the bridge there was a splendid view
A cluster of houses, among which was tn q
inn referred to, crowned the bluff summit.

THE ARTISTS AT WORK.
The artist caught sight OF party of ladies

and Immediately led the wav tbitba-
After short ascent the top was reached
and the object Of the ladies' eudeavor we.s
revealed.

OF work, and the fair sketcber, talkeJ 70
turously about the glorious time thew vere

and the woods; another with the rambling
architecture of the village But the third
member of the party had quite a peculiar
reason for happiness.

piles were somewhat too youthful to be
tempting. Presently the short cut reached
the road once more, and the village OF Mur-
temburg began slowly to unfold itself. First
appeared large advertisement, which ran
somewhat in this style: august Blanks

above the sun-lit river, and waking every
fsun and dryad in the echoing woods of
Connoquenessing.
The silent Senators Of the neighboring
village had assembled, as was their wont, to
witness the arrival and departure OF this
MONDAY train. With them were many red
checked urchins arrayed in costumes pictur-
esoue and cool withal, though decidedly
scanty and somewhat insecure.
Notone face il the little crowd was known
to the adventurous explorer. As be looked
around with disconsolate eyes he felt like
Casabianaca on the burning deck, and even
esSayed pose expressive of heroic despera-
ton. Meanwhile the village fathers had
been scruunizing the newcomer to their
hearts content, and still were puzzled to de-
termine his avocation.
THE ONLY VISITORS.
Commercial travellers, amateur fishermen
and artists are the staple visitors to their
locality, and this sad-faced youth was
neither sketchist, rod-weilder nor drummer.
He carried no suggestive gripsack, shoul-
dered no fshing-rod and bore neither pal Mt
box nor easel The Senators were waxing
curious; the small boys were already wild
with excitement Finally q bold resolve
filled the breast of the mysterious stranger.
He addressed the most mportant-looking OF
the staring council and requested to be told
the shortest cut to Wurtemberg.
At this name the reader must not permit
his imagination to run riot among the FOAM
ing beer fagons and mysterious gutturals of
the "Vaterland." For this Wurtemberg
wanted by the lone voyager was not the one
we wot of in distant Germany, but merely
quaint little village on the banks of Slip
perry Rock creek, way up in Lawrence
county.
The elderly Senator addressed, smoothed
