suppressed whisper of astonishment
from the Colonel. That whisper was

riveted upon the picture, and while he
gazed he felt himself transported from
the busy metropolis of the new world
to a small French village in the old.
Not simply his mind but his whole be-
ing, his entire senses, seemed to be
taken back to that Easter morning
when, in the very shadow of the Pyr-
enees, he and Claude had sauntered
out from the old farmhouse where
they boarded, for stroll before break
fast. The Blythes and several other
New York families were staying at
the Chateau Russo in the neighbOr-
hood, and in their morning walk the
two friends had encountered Con-
stance in just such an attitude as the
artist had painted her. The Colonel
almost fancied that he could hear the
church bells of Ste Marie de la Croix
in the distance, and smell the per-
fume of the wild flowers that grew in
the beautiful meadows Of the Landes

Claude laughed outright, for the

''Have you some work there-may I

eating the covered easel by an inclina-

Claude arose from his chair and
walked over to the easel. Then he
paused and faced the Colonel with a
peculiar look in his face.

voice that tried to be CHEEKY, but
seemed to lack the power. 'To speak
plainly, the separation from you preyed
on her nervous system to such an eX-
tent that her strength gave way. At
first Mrs. Blythe called it sentiment
alism and tried to wean Constance
from thoughts of her disappointment
by providing extra gaieties, recep-
tions, concerts and so forth, but it
was to no purpose. At Christmas the
poor girl had to take to her bed. Doc
tors prescribed for her in vain, until
Sir William Jowitt, the fashionable
English physician, learned the true
particulars of her case, and frankly
told Mrs. Blythe that the only sure
way to save her daughters life was to
permit her to conduct her own matri-
monial affairs. Constance is now at

For fully five minutes he stood with
his eyes chained to the canvas, Claude
meanwhile watching him with the
keen delight of an artist who knows
that his work has enraptured a critic.
Then the Colonel spoke deliberately.
81 said Constance was in Nice. I
was mistaken-she Is hereP' and he
pointed to the easel.
s'Thank you, Colonel, for your grace
full compliment" replied Claude.
'"The heart has a better memory
than the eye," continued the visitor,
without noticing the artists remark,
"and for that reason [ think that ne
one but yourself could possibly paint
that picture. There is not only con-
summate art but every evidence of
heart in the work. Can you finish it in
time to take it with uS?"
II will try. I have only worked on
it occasionally, more for pastime than
for any other purpose. 1t is nearly
six months since commenced it. You
see, Colonel, when l got that cutting
note of curt dismissal from Mrs.
Blythe, shattering my hopes of ever
making Constance my wife, | felt, as
you said awhile ago, like going to the
devil. I plunged wildly into dissipa-
tiOn, just like the headstrOng fool ]
was, but few months of that kind
of thing convinced me that if wished
to save my health and reputation it
would be wiser for me to drive away
care and sorrow by hard work rather
than by indulgence in gambling and
other delusive eXcitements. So l
went to London and started in
doing little work for the illus
trated papers. The few portraits I
painted there got me favorable notice,
in fact the press was too ffattering al
together. | would have stayed in Lon
don but for the fact that Constance
was within two days reach and could
not trust myself to obey Mrs. Blythe's
Injunction not to see her daughter
again. So I came back home to find
myself famous, and never was fame
more distasteful to a mortal. Clubs
and cOteries wanted to dine and wine
me. The fashionable set sent special
invitations to receptions and dinners,
society leaders almost pleadingly re-
quested my presence at some of their
functions. [ tried it for little while,
but the calls upon my time became so
persistent that l had to cut society
and, thank heaven! society has since
cut me and left me alone to myself.
To be perfectly candid with you, Col
onel, l was almost denying myself to
you, for felt as if your conversation
would naturally lead back to subject
which I had been striving to Danish

'That was why you had the picture
covered?"
'Precisely. was afraid the sight
of it might remind you of Constance
and make you speak of her."

Will you come up to dinner this even

We ought to have a deal of news to
exchange after twelve months"
II shall be pleased to join you, Col

asked Claude.
"Seven-thirty. Now 1 must hurry
down town to Wall street to transact
some business. Good day, Claude, I
shall expect you this evening"

Claude was evidently struggling
with a powerful emotion, striving to
conceal the effect of his VISITORS words.
One word of interrogation alone left
his lips.
"Constance?"
"No, not Constance herself, but her
mother"
"Her mother! why she sent me
away!"

~ uriOus arm chair, so ut
terly regardless Of grace
was his attitude. His chin rested
heavily on the closed knuckles of his
left hand. His huge legs we're crossed
in an unceremonious fashion. His
brow was clouded with heavy wrinkles
that bespoke thoughts of an unquiet
nature.
Claude was an artist, in fair, almost
afluent, circumstances. He may be
said to have been born with the pro-
verbal silver spoon in his mouth, for
his parents were wealthy and he was
an only son, but, though the scion of
a rich family, the young man had an
inherent spirit of independence which
urged him, after leaving college, to
adopt some profession as a means of
earning his own living. His natural
talents leaned towards art, and after
taking some preliminary lessons in
drawing and painting, from a local
teacher, he betook himself abroad and
studied for several years in Paris, vi
emma and Florence.
He was an apt scholar and soon
made name for himself in European
art circles as an adept with the PEN
Gil and brush. Magazine publishers
sought his work eagerly, and his
paintings had great demand and at
high prices. So when Claude returned
home to America in the summer of
'92 his fame had already preceded him,
and society in New York prepared to
ionize, in becoming style, the young
artist of whom the European critics
had spoken so highly.
Mr.. Remington would have been a
very popular young man had he al
lowed himself to become so, but fiat
terry and fawning were distasteful to
him, and when he found that the
fashionable sets in town were bent on
making social lion of him, he imme-
diately sought retirement, and could
rarely be induced to leave his own
sumptuous apartments up town. Even
the most influential members of soci-
ETY. failed to draw him from his seclu-
sion. Politely, but firmly, he declined
all invitations to dinners, receptions
and garden parties, until the higher
circles of society began to think them
selves snubbed and concluded that the
famous Mr.. Remington must be some
thing of crank.
There were a chosen few of his inti-
mate friends, however, who knew the
cause of Claude's dislike for gaiety.
Rumors had been waited over the At
lantic which brought a whisper of ro-
nance in them-the romance of an
artists love for beautiful American
girl whom he had met in one of his
Alpine tours. The story took vague
shape, in fact several shapes: one had
it that Claude was already married to
the fair unknown but for certain fam
lily reasons they would not live to-
gether for a year or so. Another rea-
son was that the girls parents were
opposed to her alliance with Claude,
but on what account was not stated.
One thing, however, seemed certain,
and that was the young artist was
deeply in love, and his romantic
disposition was such that he silently
fretted over the absence of the OBJ
ject Of his affections.

AS the boy left the room the artist

easel so as to effectually conceal the
portrait. There was a Slight tremor
in his hand as he did so, and his face
seemed to have flushed considerably.
His brows, too, were deeper wrinkled,
as if in anger.
One minute elapsed before the bov
returned, ushering in a gentleman of
middle age, whose dress and manner
showed at once the unmistakable ease
and grace of travelled man of the
world. He walked directly up to
Claude and grasped his hand, though
it seemed as if the artist were far
from cordial in reciprocating the salu-
tation. But the visitor did not notice,

Close grazing is ruinans to any neld'
and in the end there is no economy IN
1t. If ones fields are SO restricted that
the animals have to crop the grass close
in order to get a living, it is advisa bic
to sell some Of them. BY killing the
goose that lays the golden egg we are
site to cut off our income for the fu'
tire. It has beefi demonstrated at the
experiment. statioils that by feeding
grain to cows while they are being pas
tured we not only save the pasture land,
but in the end save money. A little
grain fed to the dairy cows every day
during the pasturing makes the cream
ficher aid the butter much superior
thai if-given nothing but grass. 1t is
against the ideas of most farmers, how
ever, to be using up grain when good
grass is here. In fact, it will be hard
work to convince many that there is
any gain from such apparent waste OF
feed. For generations past their IA
thers raised good milk, cream and but
ter from grass and cornstalk all
through the warm months, and they
think there is no reason why they
should not; but just the same, the
well-kept dairy of to-day produces
nearly twice as much cream as those
old cows of our ferefathers, and the
cost of scientific feeding is no greater.
The day may come when it will cost
more Oh the old farm to feed good
grass than to give an exclusive grain
diet to eows.-Farm and Ranch.

A sudden thought flashed upon
Wayne's mind As he looked at the

brave fellows under his special charge
ought to be saved by him If possible,
even at the risk of his own life. Or.
dering the men to remain on the plat

quickly descended the east side Of the

acted as the lad had expected they
would do. Eager to balk his purpose,
their attention was for the present di-
verted from the hillock to the daring
youth. They headed the proas toward
him, but they could only get their yes
sells within about sixty feet of him, on
account of the many low, pointed
rocks on this side of the reef. To reach
him, therefore, they would have to
either run their craft to the hillock
and, leaving their boats, make their
way to the reef, or else work the proas
round the end of it to the other side,
which was clear of rocks. As this
would take too much time-for the

from the Triton-the fierce crews no

their firearms.
The war-sloop was visible about tive

been headed to the westward, but now
her course was toward the, midship-
