photographer. No matter how much you
know about what you want and what to

how to make up your face, and will prob
ably object sweepingly to any such device.
That Is where he Is mistaken II he were
wise he would know how to pose girl,
and then with bit Of white and bit Of
black chalk make her lovely for that view.
Several Of the New York photographers do
this now. The stock pose, into which
photographers, on general principles, put
victims over whom they don't intend to
bother, is three-quarters, which Is an ahOm-

one eyebrow higher than the other, or look
cross eyed; but it IS their business to look
out for that and stop ron ii your features

Now, in painting face for photography

But this was exactly what we dared
not do. They must be taken alive at all

gotten all about the bridge, and closing
up we dashed on in rapid pursuit,
The assassins had nearly reached the
edge of the stream now. The bearded
man was plying the whip savagely, and
his companion was standing, gun in
hand, holding his fire apparently until
we should come little nearer.
Faster and faster-and now the stream
was before us, a raging, roaring torrent,
flashing by with terrible velocity, and
still the fugitives madly dashed their
jaded horses.
An instant more and the panic strick-
en- brutes dashed upon the swaying,
trembling structure; and then, with a
mighty crash and binding cloud Of
spray and snow, bridge, sleigh and all
crumbled into the torrent; and with d
terrible effort we checked our trembling
horses on the very brink.
For moment could see nothing,
and then Karaman pointed out the two
assassins huddled together on great
cake Of ice that was whirling rapidly
down the stream. The horses and sleigh
were nowhere to be seen.
A peasant was speedily found who led
us through the forest to the shores Of
the Vistula, at point close to the
mouth of the tributary stream.
On the other side rose the Austrian
military station, but no trace of the as
sassins could be discovered; and, from
the swollen condition of the river,
believed it impossible that they could
have been saved. Capt. Karaman wa,

shy lad, roaming through old meadows
with two happy girls. Once more he
seemed TO breathe that fresh, free air
that has wild poetry in it, and sings
To the heart like n sweet song. The scent
of the fields, the keen breath of morn
ing, the perfume of honeysuclSle on the
warm evening breeze. all this came

Olive was right. Among the old
| downs he might find his true self again
and be n happier man than he could
ever have been in London. Some men
are always rustics at heart-they lose
all sense OF freedom in cities, and con-
slant intercourse with many people
drives them back into the grim fortress
OF self. Aaron had never thriven on
London soil; the fresh hill breeze had
often whispered To him in the crowded
streets and brought tears To his eyes.
He was passionatcly in love with his
old home, and his heart refused To ad-
init any new affections. IL WAS this

"Shc might have forgiven them: IL
