And yet, while we must continue
to mourn the loss Of lhe great mo

A strange criticism of Rembrandts ia
nous portrait of 1.-The Glider" was over
heard by two young artists at the Metro
politan museum recently.
The young men were examining the
portrait for perhaps the hundredth time.
AS on the previous ninety-nine occasions
they had grown enthusiastic over the
wonderful art displayed in its execution.
AS is well known. the picture is tat
of Jan Domcr, Dutch artist, who is
habited in the costume of his country
and age. One of the most marvellous
pieces of work of the entire portrait is
the reproduction of Il huge starched linen
ruff that the man wears about his neck.
The ruff almost stands out from the can
vas, so skilfully was it reproduced by the
marvellous hand of the master.
The two young men were almost ready
TO fall down before the portrait to wor-
ship it when they heard the sharp, nasal
tones of countTyman speaking behind
them. The words they heard were, ''Oh,
Maria, come here and see this man with
bis head sticking through a cheese"
The two men instinctively moved
away. What profanationw SAID one
to the other.
Eyes, indeed was the reply. II won

to appreciate art beliove there are at
least ave hundred artists who would be

stood still for a moment. The resem-
blance was so strong that it seemed to
her as if she were looking ON the dead
face of man she might have loved.
That very night capable man from
Mr.. Willwright's Office started for Hi
nois with ample evidence, and after q
slight delay Tanning was honorably &C
quilted of the grave charge. Not until
after he had returned to New York to
settle accounts with Mr.. James Friend
did he learn all that had been done for
him by somebody. Mr.. Friend had a
bad half hour with him, and after max
ing restitution to the last dollar found
himself on the verge of bankruptcy.
Fanning's loxt business was to call on
Mr.. Willwright, as he supposed, to settle
accounts with him also. To his amaze
ment that gentleman not only refused to
be paid, but declared that he had been
retained by friend of DR.. Fanning's
whose name he was not at liberty to
divulge. This was intolerable, and he
said, with much dignity:
"There are some obligations, sir, that
a gentleman cannot rest under. l can
not relieve myself of the debt of graft
tude 1 owe to your client, but can re-
place the money he has spent, and that
l insist upon" And he signed blank
check and laid it on the lawyers desk.
Mr.. Willwright's face lightened. In
fact he almost smiled. 81 will tell him,
and have no doubt he will appreciate
your feelings" he said, coolly putting
the check in his pocket.
But when Tanning saw DIR. Sandring-
ham he found that gentleman less scrupu-
lous. Miss Latimer had made him also
promise that he would never tell Fan
ming who it was that had reused him to
action, but he bad notions of his own,
and his promise was made with mental
reservations. eff that child supposes
that am going to let two such persons
drift away from each other in ignorance"
he said to himself, "she does not know
me as well as know her."
And therefore it was that they did not
drift apart. On the contrary they drift
ed closer and closer together until one
day, in the fullness of time, Tanning
said: Margaret, you have come to be
all in the world to me. Will you marry
mey'
"No," she said very gently. 81 care
too much for you to allow you to give
yourself to me from a sense Of graft

''You do care for me, them he said
eagerly. You love me?"
She arose, and for once he saw her
eyes fash as they sometimes did. "How
dare you she began, but then she
stopped. She saw again that he was not,
in the very least, afraid of her. 1t was
that which had won her so long before.
He smiled proudly. Margaret" he
said very quietly, ''do you think any
thing on earth would make me tell
lie?'

"Then listen. love you with my
whole heart. Will you marry me?"
And she did.
