GUY DE
The Brilliant stosy Writer'S Race Wit
Death and His Sad End.

The Brilliant Story Writer'S Race With
Death and His Sad End.
From the Chicago Post: The green
devil, absinthe, began the destruction
Of Guy de Maupassunt's brilliant mind,
and hasheesh and opium completed the
work. He has been dead for several
years, but it was only recently that the
heart which for so long had vainly
sent the blood coursing through the
mildewed brain wearied of its task had
ceased to beat. 1t was n gay life and
a sad n that the novelist led. Deeply
he drank of pleasure and terrible was
the price he paid for it. Is it sur
prising, then, that all his work, brill
liant as it is, is yet poisoned with the
curious morbidity of the end of the
century? Gustave Flaubert was his
master, and he early learned to look at
existence in the high lights which
the author of "Sulammbo' cast
upon it. Flaubert was more
artist than man: he wa content with
iphabiting his W Imagination. But
the pupil, man as well as artist, wa
compelled by his temperament to taste
the joys he painted, so death found him
in an insane asylum. .'Bel AMI was
followed by "Le Horla," and lie
Horla' by the insanity it described. He
was born August 5, 1910, in the district
OF Seine Inperieure, the son of a stock
broker who deserted his family while
Guy and his brother Herve were still
boys. For seven years he wa a clerk
in the naval office in Paris, where he
earned money enough to keep his
brothers widow and children from
starvation. During all this time he
was studying the art of writing rs
an apprentice studies any other trade
under Flaubert, who had at once re-
cognized his powers. At last, in 1880,
the master permitted him to make his
literary debut and the event SHOWED
that F1aubert's pains had not been
wasted. for success wa immediate and
each of his works enjoyed greater pop
ularity than its predecessor. A year
Or SO ago the newspapers startled Paris
with the statement that De Maupas-
SAINT had attempted his life; and it was
only a few weeks later that the world
bade him farewell at the madhouse
gate. "Bel Ami" is the most generally
liked of his novels. 1t required forty
five editions to satisfy the demand for
this masterpiece. But it is as a writer
of short stories that DE Mnnpassant
will be remembered. His ..Contes'
are compact and sparkling as diamonds.

sometimes read and talk about, and he
looked for his ideal companion. One
night he me- her in the drawing room
of a London friend, who, without his
knowing it, had brought the young
lady to meet the eyes of the great
writer.
1t was a June night; he was 35, and
she looked like a Greek goddess.
He was dazzled. She was a tall,
graceful girl Of 10, with a face and fig
ure as faultless as one of the statues Of
old. No one ever expected Ruskin to
fall IN love, and he did not. She was
poor and needed a home and its com.
forts and SO they were married.
Their welded life was peaceful.
friendly, kindly to the highest degree,
but there was not a spark of affection
to enlighten their existence. She adj
mired the great man she had married
and was grateful for the wealth and
comfort he showered on her. He wor-
SHIPPED her IS he would the marble
made lifelike by the sculptor's chisel.
There was nothing human about the
life they led rs husband and wife, and
she was a woman who, in her, heart,
like all true women, laughed at the
traditions that made her sex love dis
tant worship.
One day Ruskin brought an artist to
paint his wife's picture. And the man
was Millais, and he was q bright,
CHEEKY, handsome fellow, human every
inch of him, with a great and absorb
ing love for the beautiful and a will
ingness to tell of his love.
He began to paint the portrait of the
magnificent woman and when he had
finished he was in love with his friends
wife.
Woman-lilte she saw it, and perhaps
she was not full of sorrow and re-
proach. 1t was the first tribute of real
manly love that had ever lain at her
feet.
And Ruskin! His wide eyes saw the
romance that vas weaving around those
two lives, and his heart realized how
little affection he had to lavish on the
woman whom he had made his wife.
How he o her the story of his pride
in her and the sacrifice he was to make
for her, while she lay prone at his feet,
IS one of the things which only he or
she could tell.
1t is difficult to obtain n divorce in
England, but John Ruskin secured it
for her. and bracing morning in
the early winter, a month after the di-
vorce was granted, Ruskin stood by the
couple in one of London's quiet
churches and saw them made man and
wife.
That was a good many years ago.
and since then Millais has become rich
and famous and is now Sir John and
his wife is my Lady Millais.
The warmest, sturdlest friend the
struggling painter had in his toiling
days was the man whose wife he had
married, and through all the years of
Millais' later success and greater honor,
John Rusl1in has been the welcome
guest and almost daily visitor to the
maj and woman whose lives he so I'M
eelhshly crowned with happiness.
1t is n strange story and the world
knows little about it, and some men
have condemned him as some women
have censured her. But the two men
and that one womun who knew best
have been happy and contented with
the change that John Ruskin's pure un-
%selfishness brought into their lives.
And 30 the world should not complain.

I sit upon my OK team, calm,
Beneath the lazy sky,
And crawl contented throughthe land
And let the world go by.
The thoughtful OK has learned to
And nervous impulse smother,
And ponder long before he puts
One foot before the other.
And men with spanking teams pass by
And dash upon their way,
AS II it were their hope to find
The worlds end In a day.
Aud men dash by in palace cars,
On me dark irowns they cast,
AS tho lightning-driven present frowns
On the slow old past.
What do they chase, these men of steam,
Their smoke flags white unfurlcd,
Pulled by the roaring fire-iend
That shakes the reeling world2
What do we seek, we men of steam7
So wild and mad you press2
Is this, is this the railroad line
That leads to happincss2
And when you've swept across the day
And dashed across the night,

Where no red signals stream,
Igo by OK team just as quick
AS you can go by steam.
