''You certainly deserve better luck
than 1 have had" Then, after a silence
of several minutes, he went on, mood
lily: MY experience was q very simple
one. There is no story to tell. While
was in Paris fell in love with beau
tiful girl-the most charming young
lady in the American colony. Her
mother was q widow, and was deter
mined to marry her to a title; conse-
quently no presumptuous young artist
could hope for smooth sailing In that
quarter, But the girl was not indiffer-
ent TO rnc. Indeed, ! WAS fortunate
enough to win her heart; at least, I
thought so at that time. l amused my
self by drawing and painting pictures
of her Acting upon an impulse sent
one Of these pictures to her as valen-
tine, on the 14th of February. Accom-
panying the picture was verse of po-
etry, which, of course, was n very ar
dent declaration of love. To my sur
prise the valentine came back to me.
Suspecting that l had made a grave
mistake, Immediately wrote a letter
Of apology. The letter was returned to
me unopened. Half crazy, sought an
interview with the young lady, only to
learn that mother and daughter had
quietly left Paris, without letting any
one know whittier they were going"
Thayer paused, and drew a long
breath.
well, that's the whole story" he
added. "All this occurred five years
ago, and have never seen them since.
l have no idea in what part Of the
world they are. 1 suppose-I imagine
us a matter of course, she is married
long ago"
just then the nurse came in to put n
fresh bandage on the artists ankle.
George Benner rose and sauntered over
to table at the other side Of the room.
Here he began idly to look through
Thayer's portfolio Of drawings and
sketches.
Suddenly Benner started, and picked
up one of the pictures, holding it
toward the light to examine it. 1t was
an exquisite pastel; in the center was a
sweet, girlish face, with rosc-tinted
complexion, big brown eyes, and a
mass Of fluffy hair above low fore
head. On the margin were chubby
cupids; birds in pairs, and heart
pierced by an arrow, Below the
portrait was q verse of poetry, every
line fervid with love.
The nurse finished her task and went
out, Benner resumed his seat beside
his friend He held the pastel in his

at his desk and wrote on the lower mar,

colored up like schoolboy as he made

for an additional appropriation of $4,000
to build sixteen double cottages to ac-

pration is granted the commissioner will

Representative French, of Washington,

There is too much of tendency to disre-
gard the scriptures in school life. do
not prescribe what the teachers shall read.
They can select passage in the New Tes-
lament to satisfy the Christians or "a chap
ter from the Old Testament to satisfy the
jew. They can read from the ST. James
version SO that Protestants may not be
offended or from the Donay version so that

this matter up at the next meeting, and it
