He was thin, wiry Frenchman, with
small black eyes, forehead sloping TO

The face was almost Mephistopheiian IN
effect. He had painted her portrait. Was
the man an impostor | asked myself.
THE Count is an artist himself, you
know" said Miss Paddington.
" Yes-an artist!" asked Rayel in half
incredulous tone Then he looked in

the words he had repeated

CHAPTER VII.

In accordance with my uncle's wish,
which had been made known to Rayel, we
buried him the day following his death
in the sunny courtyard, where he
had spent the last days of his life. The
funeral arrangements were made as simple
as possible so as to exclude all except the
functionaries whose presence was abso-
lutely necessary. A rector of the Church
of England read the service for the dead
before the body was borne to the grave by
the undertaken. When il was all over and
the great gates were closed again upon our
seclusion, Rayel said to me:
Unjust talk more with you now, If you
will let me. He said you would help me
after he was gone"
IL seemed idle to assure him who already
knew my heart of the happiness it would
give me to fulfil the pledge of friendship
made to my uncle.
"Do you expect to see him again." 1
asked.
After a moment Of the most serious re-
Election, he said:
"Oh, yes, shall see him again-when 1
die, then shall see him. He has gone to
the Great Father who gives life and who
takes 1t away"
| found that Rayel, although entirely
ignorant of the creeds aud dogmas pre-
vailing among men, was profoundly re-
ligious. and that his simple faith was built
upon the deepest foundations. He evil
IDENTIFY gave much thought to the relation
ship between man and his Creator after he
felt the sting of bereavement, but it was O
subject to which he never referred in our
conversation unless, perchance. it drifted
in upon us.

white fickering light upon the face OF the
man who had just spoken. A.

for one of them Is in this room sitting a'

Only one face was visible, and all eyes
were turned upon it, for now the effect OF
that pale light keeping it in view was IN
describably weird. The eyes were sudden
ly turned in the direction OF Rayel, and q
deyilish glare came into them for an IN
slant when the face suddenly seemed 10

The weeks following my uncle's death,
during which / was busy with preparation
for the new life that awaited us, Rayel
spent in his studio working over some I'M
finished pictures. At my urgent request

to Hester Chaffin had so startled and
amazed me the night | saw it first, and he
regarded il with tonder interest than he

ton of that fine quality which was so
strongly presented in my cousins ideal.
My uncle's fortune, as described in his
will, amounted to nearly 1000. The
greater part of it--everything indeed, but
the house and grounds-was in cash, repre-
sented by certificates of deposit accompa-
nying the will, and bonds OF the United
States. There was q considerable bequest
for me, whom he had named as executor Of
the will, which, however, determined
never TO apply to my own use except in
case of Rayel's death. A handsome an

servant. The remainder was left to Rayel:

HIS PAINTED STOCKINGS.
The Genesis of an Anecdotes Told Of Many
Distinguished People.
New York Ledger.l

New York Ledger.l
Alexander Nasmyth took his first art
lessons at an evening school in Edin-
burgh. The teacher had little to work
with. and for that reason was obliged to
give his pupils the same copies again and
again. The young Alexander had just
finished his sixth copy of a drawing Of the
LAGOON, when he was told to make an
other. He begged for o new subject, and
the master, somewhat out OF temper,
answered hotly:
well, I'll give you another
Upon that he turned the group Of the
LAGOON upside down and said
Now, then, copy thst!"
The boy accepted the task, and in few
evenings accomplished 1t. The master was
so much pleased with his spirit and so
proud of his skill that he bad the picture
mounted and framed, with note at the
bottom recounting the circumstances Of
the case.
A few years afterward Alexander went to
ondon, where he became the pupil of Al
Ian Ramsay. One day he had promised to
take a young lady to fashionable place of
amusement Full-dress was called for, and
all the young men were expected TO appear
in long striped silk stockings. Young
Nasmyth had only one pair. which he
washed for the occasion in his lodging
room, and hung them before the Ere to
dry.
When he came to look at them, however,
they were so badly burned that they could
not be worn. The poor but high-spirited
young artist was in a sorry predicament,
but his ingenuity helped him out. He
took his water-color box and painted his
legs with black and white stripes. The
paint soon dried, he completed his toilet,
and, with the lady, went to the show. Nc
one discovered the trick. although more
than one person complimented him upon
the extraordinarily good fit of his hand
some stockings.
