emotions struggling within him.
Hope, Joy, sorrow, fear, despair came
and went Ia kaleidoscope expression

HEh3 ing embers in the open
SX& fireplace. His giant fig
nj ure looked as IL it had
NS been thrown into the lux
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 were 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
aHiuent, circumstances. He NAV 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
q 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 a 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 i'm the summer Of
'o2 his fame had already preceded him,
and society In New York prepared to
nonl.e, 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 fat
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 a 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
iantic which brought 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
1t that Claude was already married to
the fair unknown but for certain fam
lily reasons they would not live to-
gether for 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 ro-
mantle disposition was such that he
silently fretted over the absence OF
the object Of his affections.

OF the new world to
a small French vii
~ lage In the old. Not
~ simply his mind but
his whole being, his
entire senses seemed
to be taken back to
that Easter morning
when, I'm the very shadow
Of the Pyrenees, he and
Claude had sauntered out
from the old farmhouse
where they boarded, for n
stroll before breakfast.
The Blythes and several
other New York families
were staying at the Cha
teau Russo In the neigh
borhood, and in pheir
morning walk the two
friends had encountered
Constance 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 In Croix
In the distance, and smell
the perfume or the wild
flowers that grew in tho
beautiful meadows OF the
Landes.
For fully five minutes he
stood with his eyes chained
to the canvas, Claude mean
while watching him with
the keen delight of an art
list who knows that his
work has enraptured q
critic.
Then the Colonel spoke
deliberately.

pointed to the easel.
"Thank you, Colonel, for
your graceful compli-
ment," replied Claude.
"The heart has a better
memory than the eye, I"
continued the visitor,
without noticing the ar
lists remark, "and for
that reason / think that
no one but yourself could

A Mans Conquest of Himself.

A few days ago Sheriff Russell of Lou
doun county. brought Manley Fox to the
Western State Hospital here. The Fairfax
Herald gives the following extraordinary in
cident in the patients career:-'At the
battle OF Ball s Bluff, Mr.. Fox was men,
Der of the Eighth Va. Regiment, comman-
ded by Colonel NOW Senator) Eppa Hun
ton. The peril of the situation as the regi-
ment went into battle, so overcame him
that he was unable to keep his place in the
ranks, when one of his officers approached
him and after upbraiding him for his sup
posed cowardice, threatened to take his gun
away from him. But there was better
mettle in Fox than the officer imagined.
He told the officer to go away and leave
him alone, and that he would soon over
come his timidity, and well did he redeem
his promise. After subduing the feelings
of fear that possessed him, he rejoined his
company, and not only participated in the
battle then in progress, but fought with
great gallantry during the entire war, never
once asking for furlough. Few men
showed more true courage than Marley
Fox, and his old companions in arms hope
for him speedy recovery from his present
affection.

CHARGED With Pocket Picking.

On Saturday afternoon as the crowd came
away from the circus at the afternoon per-
Torrance, Nh. j. M. Kent, Of Harrison
burg. entered an Augusta Street car. AS
be got in, man slipped his hand into his
pocket and stole his pocket book contain
ing So, and some valuable papers.
MI. J. T. Hanger of the county,
pointed out large and well dressed man as
the thief, saying he had seen him take it
and pass it to another man who made off.
The accused man spoke threateningly to
Mr.. Hanger and cursed him for accusing a
gentleman Of theft. MI. Hanger persisted
that he was the man. A large crowd had
assembled and the well dressed man took
to his heels. He had not gone far in the
direction Of the Water Works, before
David Fultz, the noted base ball runner,
overhauled him. The man asked how
much money was in the pocket book. and
being told about SIS. said he would rathe
paw that than suffer the disgrace of an ar
rest for theft. He was taken before the
Mayor and committed to jail. He gave
the Mayor the name of John f. Anderson,
and Lexington as his residence. He will
be examined before the Mayor tomorrow,
Saturday.
The pocket book with the papers and 81
Of the money, was found in a gutter in front
of his residence on Gospel Hill, Saturday
evening by Mr.. John M. SPOTS.
