learned from an officer who had served
under Ney that that general had been IN
the habit of wearing his capote with the
sleeves hanging loose, after the fashion
of a hussars jacket, and Ney is SO
painted in the picture. Having adverted
to his idea of giving merely hint of wars
destruction by the trampling, down Of
field of unripe grain, he added: How
many difficulties might I not have avoided
by replacing this green field with dust"
Doubtless the trouble that the picture had
cost him made it seem to him more perfect
than it really is. Yet he always regretted
not having begun it earlier, when there
were more veterans of the Napoleonic wars
alive to supply him with further details.
An unacknowledged feeling of dissatis-
faction with the picture, partly on this,
partly on purely artistic grounds, was per
haps at the bottom of his painting the sub
ject all over again in water colors, quite
as much as the desire to have it engraved.
This water color was bought for 100000
francs by M. Simond. The original picture
cost Judge Hilton $4,000 francs. We need
hardly add that it is now considered one
of the chief treasures of the Metropolitan
Museum. Amateur.

cept when Nellie got a pen In her hand
and set herself to compose polite letter.
The expedition, was, of course, tie see the
Chase-the old home of the Lords Warm
ley, for which Agatha felt sentimental
attraction She had told herself that some
day, if she were rich (and Lord Thrapston
not being rich she must have had some
other resource in her mind), she would buy
back Langbury Chase and get rid of the
Mercerons altogether. There were only
a widow and boy, she had heard, and
they should have their price. So she went
to the Chase in the businesslike mood of
a possible purchaser calder could afford
anything) as well as in the romantic mood
of girl escaped from everyday surround
ings and plunging into past full of inter-
est to her. Had she not also read of
Agatha Merceron? And in this mixed
mood she remained till one evening at the
pool she had met ''the boy" when the
mood became more mixed still. She dared
not now look back on the struggles she
had gone through before her meeting with
the boy became first a daily event, and
then the daily event. She had INDUCED
herself for once. 1t was not to last; but
for once it was overpoweringly sweet to be
gazed at by eyes that did not remind her
of frogs, and to see swiftly darting toward
her 1.-THE, straight figure crowned with a
Lord Byron's. But, alasl alas, why had
nobody told her that the boy was like that
before she went? Why did her grand
father take no care of her? Why did
Calder never show any interest in what she
did? Why, in fine, was everybody so cruel
as to let her do exactly what she liked, and
thereby get into scrape like this?
One thing was certain. If that boy were
in London she must avoid him. They

received al he said in that line in a right
spirit; but when 1T came to question of
expectancy she would rather have Mrs
Blunts advice than that of thousand Mr..
Iaylors so she wrote to Mrs. Blunt and
asked her to lunch, and Mrs. Blunt, being
an accomplished painstaking hostess
and having no reason to suppose that her
young friend desired a confidential inter
view, at once cast about for some one
whom Agatha would like to meet. She
did not ask Calder Wentworth-she was
not so commonplace as that-but she in
vvited Victor sutton, and, delighting in a
happy flush of inspiration, she added Mr..
Vanslttart Merceron. The families were
connected in some way, she knew. and
Agatha certainly ought to know Mr.. Mer-

Blunt; but Uncle Vans entrance forbade
