himself the nice little sum OF calcu'

possible combination and permuta-
tion.
1t would be ne use to present the
answer here in a long row of figures,
for no one can realize to himself what
such a numerical array really con.
yeys; nor would ii be much better TO
play with the words billions and tril-

words and nothing more t. most OF

The Peace Of Home.

II comes to me often in silence,
When the freight sputters low,
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths Of the long ago.
1t comes with a throb Of heart-ache,
That thrills each pulsing vein,
The old, unquiet longing
For the peace OF home again.
/ am sick OF the roar Of cities,
And Of faces cold and strange;
know where there's warmth Of welcome,
And my sweeping fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead
With . yearn;ng sense Of pain;
But tears will give place TO singing,
When the peace OF home comes again.
''when the peace OF home comes there
music
That never may die away,
And it seems that the hands Of angels
On a mystic harp at play,
Have touched with yearnlng gladness
On a beautiful. broken strain,
And my heart beats time to the measure
When the peace of home comes again.
Outside Of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn's shadows
Come drifting, drifting in.
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs,
To the splash of the autumn rain,
While dream Of gladstone greetings,
When the peace Of home comes again

And so it was arranged.

The picture, being at last finished,
was dispatched with much trembling,
Richard said it ought to be accepted,
the subject was so fine. Mary said it

The eagerly-expected and much

When Richard Lacy had had three
sittings from Mary Blackwood, he be-
gan to wonder how in the world he
would have got on without her. Not
only had she read "Clair Ingelow, :"
but she seemed thoroughly to under
stand the somewhat difficult character
of Clair. She was ever ready with use
full suggestions. He admitted to HING
self that she really inspired his pencil.
He looked forward with eagerness to
her visits. Not that they were part
icularly lively affairs. Miss Blackwood
spoke only as occasion demanded, and
Lacy was not one of those artists who
can talk and work simultaneously.

THE ARTISTS MODEL.

"Now, said Richard Lacy, with
sigh which denoted intense Joy, "my
chance has come at last !"
He threw down the letter and re-
lighted his pipe, smiling quietly to
himself. An old friend of his, who
had made great fame and some money
as novelist, Edmund Shelton to wit,
had selected him to illustrate an edition
de luxe of his famous novel, "Clair
Ingelow," which you have no doubt
read, and had offered very libersl
terms. Here was the opportunity for
which Richard Lacy had been waiting
ever since he came to London, a youth
of seventeen, more than ten years
ago.
He was struggling artist, who
!. painted pictures (which never sold in
the daytime, and earned his bread and
cheese at night by designing for the
stationary trade, and such black-and
white as he could get hold of. He
managed to make about $3.50. year,
one-third of which went for the rent Of
the gaunt, bare studio in which he
worked, ana Til5- IfT5ls ~rrvvs-rson1- ,fss''
tached in which he slept. The pur-
chase Of materials exhausted another
third, and on the remaining $3.50 he
lived, but did not grow fat
Unless he could in some way arrest
the attention of the public he would
probably remain all his life an ill-paid
designer. True, by some freak OF
fortune, one of his pictures had once
been exhibited at the Royal Academy
But it was "skied," not single critic
noticed it, audit was produced nnone
ofthe illustrated catalogues. Evenuo
he was in debt for its very gorgeous
frame.
But surely fate smiled at last. An
illustrator of celebrated novel he
could not fail to be talked about. He
must at once consider what models he
would require for the work. If he
could only
A timid rat tat at the door interrupted
his soliloquy. "Come in"
A tall young girl stood before him.
She was not exactly beautiful, but with
an artists instinct, he at once noticed
the fine poise of her head and her
shapely hand. She was meanly dressed
and she hesitsted.
GOOD morning, he said, at length.
"Model?"
She nodded gravely and handed him
a card Mary Blackwood was the
name it bore. Evidently she was
beginner at the business. The old
hands never called on him, for they
knew his means would not allow him
to engage model, except very occas-
ionally. Besides, her manner seemed
to indicate that she had never been in
side studio before He was
rather attracted by her erect bearing
and simple air. Models are usually in
clined to be STACEY.
Well, 1 may be wanting model
shortly" Lacy said; "may ask what
your terms are!"
She stated them. They were ridicu-
lousy low.
Perhaps you could call tomorrow,
and could then say whether you would
be likely to suit me"
every good, sir. 1 will call at two
o'clock. Thank you" And with
quiet Good morning" and another
grave little nod she was gone.
Soon afterwards he caught himself
trying to initiate her deliciously low
voice. She ought, he said to himself,
to make an admirable model for Clair
Ingelow.
