So many attempts have been made
on the life OF the car that now, when
he travels by rail, the train which
bears him is preceded by two men
mounted on heavy railway bicycles,
riding ut some distance apart. The
plan has only been recently adopted
The idea is that the rider can see any
distractions placed on the trackTaud
if any bomb be there it will be eN-
ploded by the foremost bicycle, giving
the other rider time to flag the. inn
perial train before 1t gets into danger.
Of course the rider who should dis
cover bonn in this fashion would
not be in condition to discover another
or do anything else, but dangerous as
the Job is, there are plenty of candi-
dates for it, and the large cash bonus
annexed.

but it was something more than the
mere beauty of his models face chat
caused his heart to beat so rapturous-
ly. Oh, how he loved herl but she,
poor girl, sitting so YEARLY in dis
tant corner, did not dream of what
was passing in his mind.
suddenly he turned his eyes in her
direction and a look of astonishment
crossed his handsome face. Could it
be possible that those were the feat
ures which he had 50 cleverly por-
trayed upon the canvas?
There were flashes of fire in the
sweet blue eyes now and the delicate
mouth was curved in an expression of
bitterness that he had never seen be-
fore. lie was amazed at the. sudden
revelation, for in all his weeks upon
the picture he had never seen that
strangely bitter expression upon her
face before.
He crossed the room and spoke to her
pleasantly, even tenderly, and was in
tensely relieved to see the bitterness
partia'' disappear before the tender
ness of his manner.
"You are very tired, Violetta," he
said gently land am very sorry!
But the picture is beautiful! EX-
quisiteln
With sudden movement Violetta
sprang from her chair and ran hastily
across the floor. "IIe loves his pic
ture but not me-" She muttered as
Ale left the room, Fool that l am to
think that he would care for mel He
is bound body and soul to his art
What is the pretty face of woman to
him but model for his wonderful
creations?"
After she had gone, Lawrence Mer-
edith stood Il moment in thought,
then lighted II cigar and drew the
chair before the easel He was an
honorable fellow and he knew he was
too poor to marry. He determined at
once that he would never speak one
word of love to Violetta until he was
fully able to lead her to the altar and
give her, at least, a comfortable home.
lie felt that she was learning to love
hNl, and although it was hard to see
her daily and not speak of what was
content when he thought of the bliss
that would shortly come to reward
him for his hours of self-denial
For he had decided from the first
that this picture of Violetta should
bring him fame and fortune. He
would not sell it, of course, but the
picture should be sent to the National
academy's exhibition, and if it was q
success, the orders that he would re-
ceive would start him in a lucra tive
profession. Now that the picture
was finished, he was almost happy
1t was only that momentary express
sion upon his models face thai
brought a shadow to his own. What
could it mean? Was Violetta un
happy? Had she any tormenting Sc
cret, or was it the pain of parting
with him that had distorted her face
with such sudden bitterness?
Then'it occurred to him that he had
not even babe her good night and
this was the last of her daily sittings

The memory startled him little and
he searched in his pockets for the ad-
dress that she had given him.
81 will go and see her this eve ming
and arrange for other sittings," he
said TO himself as he read the little
scrap of paper that he found in his
pocket book.
An hour later he was on his way to
Violetta's humble lodgings.
1t was dreadful disappointment
to learn that she was out "She had
not returned from her afternoons
sitting" the old landlady told him.

Especial Correspondence.l


ST LOUIS, Nov. 29.-It was in this
city that Joseph Pulitzer got his start
in journalism, being helped thereto by
Carl Schurz. who. just after the war,
was chief owner and editor of The West
liche Post. a German newspaper still
published here. Schurz met a young
Magyar at an employment agency here
one day and asked him for some infOr-
nation The information was given
with such directness and accuracy that
Schurz was delighted. and he asked the
young man g name. A rather prOtracted
conversation ensued. at the close of
which Schurz told the young man to
call at The Westliche Post Office at his
earliest convenience. when doubtless
some sort of journalistic work might be
found for him.
An hour or two later. when Mr.
SEIZURE got to his Office, he found the
young man waiting for him.
Well, my young friend, said
Schurz, you believe in being prompt

to begin a new line of work. 7

1 had a talk today about this young
man with a well known St Louisan
who was prominently identified with

Just concluded It's session here.
Some twenty odd years ago, said
this man, Il accepted an invitation to
attend a meeting called for the purpose
of effecting a semip0litical organization
that should devote itself in some degree

front there sat a young man of a strong
" individual type. The proceedings had
not gone very far when this yOungster
arose to a point of order did not
think the point well taken, and to use
a col1Oquialism, 1 sat on him hard. A
little later he had another point to
make, and 1 sat on him again. So it
went all through the meeting, and aft
or adjournment I asked q friend, who
seemed to know, who the young man
was.
That's a reporter Of The Westliche
Post, I was told, and his name is Pu-
liter Oseph Pulitzer
'sWelI. I thought 7 had probably

surprise the report in The Post was a
very favorable one SO far as I was con-
cerned. and in a day or two became
acquainted with Pulitzer. I found him
very pleasant and agreeable. and we
became fast friends.
'sSome time after that he was nomi-
mated for member of assembly in his
district was surprised that he should
wish to 60 to the legislature. and also
that so young a man and one SO little
acquainted here should be able to get
the nomination, and 1 said so There
were others IN St. Louis who were not
only surprised, but who did not wish to
see him elected, and they told him
what had said, with notifications and
additions He came to see me about it
at once.

g There's something else, too, he
said. The fact is I'm under age. I

when a mere girl and was so closely

This was the first regular attack made

June, 1776, he was censured by con
