IL would surpass the wit Of man TO
imagine a mOra miserable morning.
All night long the wind had blown as
though il meant 10 break its record
and with the daylight THE rain came
down in that determined manner it as
sumeS when it intends to continue al
day.
AS the miserable hours OF daylight
waned the gale was still undiminished,
and as our travellers turned Strand
ward they thought the cab must be
blown into nOthingness: however, 1t
remained intact. and they were soon
racing toward the sea in the express.
As they approached Dover the rain
ceased and the wind dropped consider
ably, but there was still enough left to
indicate a rough passage.
They were soon moving toward the
gangway to board the steamer. The
Journalist was descending and the art
list about to follow. when a sudden blow
in the back sent him almost Off his legs.
Hastily looking around he was surpris-
ed to see a young lady sitting in the
middle of the gangway, and ne at once
assisted hsr up.
May I offer you my arm?"
Thank yoJ; I must accept, else l
shall never reach the boat"
They were soon on board, and the
lady sought the saloon. The artist and
his friend paced the deck during the
passage. and as the wind dropped the
moon rose and the stars came out. So
enjoyable became the scene that they
were sorry when they arrived at Calais.
II was not till Paris was reached that
Hardy again spoke to his fair assailant.
As they were exchanging cards she
suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, there's my
father. must introduce YOU" AT that
instant a tall, elderly, jovial-looking
man came up and was introduced as Sir
Henry Greet. and the daughter told
how Hardy had saved her from what
might have been nasty accident.

ever and anon one came across block,

you and your friend must dine with
us to-night-we are at the Hotel de
lAthenee, Rue Scribe ::
The dinner was a jolly affair, and at
its conclusion they separated with
buoyant spirits. Especially was this
the case with Hardy, upon whom Miss
Greet had made a deep impression.
During the next few days they met re-
peatedly, and ere long their friendship
ripened into something which the art
list concluded must be love.
They visited the salon together, and
did all the sights in each others society
had eyes and ears for nothing else
but their individual selves. When the
artist and the journalist left the gay
city the latter took it as matter OF
course when he was told that the form
err was engaged to Miss Greet. The bar
onet and his family were to stay anoth-
er month in Paris.

Six months had gone since the we'd
ding, and the painter and his wife were
living in the late baronets house in
Grosvenor square, which, along with
the othsr property of the dead man,
had been left TO them. But Hardy
still hankered after his lost art and con-
tinued to rent his old studio.
One morning he and Moore were
smoking in the familiar room; every
thing had been kept exactly as on the
day when the artists genius left him.
Alfred" said Hardy, I've strange
fancy If The Dawn of Love were
placed again on the wall beyond the
easel, think l could paint a little.
Let's act upon the idea"
A couple of hours afterward the fam
Gus picture was in its old position.
Hardy sat bsfore a clean canvas. The
model posed for Beside the Waters"
and after a steadfast look at"The Dawn
of Love-" the artist began operations.
To his great surprise the old skill came
back to him as quickly as thought, and
with such powsr as he had never
known before and once more the glow
of inspiration shone in his eyes.
At the next exhibition of the Royal
Academy Beside Still Waters" was
even more popular than the celebrated
Dawn of Love-"
Eyer, oafterward Edward Hardy's
genius for painting was marvellous
when "The Dawn of Love" was before
him. but unless in the presence Of his
talisman he had not the remotest notion
oe his art. Cases are on record where
by sheer force Of will painters have
given to their brain creations-tle fig
ures in their pictures-the power of
hypnotizing their authors, the artists
themselves. Hence it has now and
again arisen that painter has only
been able to work at all while in view
of one Of his masterpieces. And thus
1t was with Hardy and his Dawn OF
Love"
The magic influence of a product Of
the intellect, as our story shows, is but
an indication that there is a genius and
an inspiration impaired to some by
ways that we cannot fathom, but which
are the inscrutable designs of the be-
ing beauteouS

Hardy had just finished his morning
pipe and was selecting subject sulta-
Bile for the commission he had to exc
cute. His mind was brimful OF ideas
for paintings, so that it was no easy
task to make a choice. At length he
decided that the work should be called
Beside Still Waters"-a lady strolling
in the twilight by quiet stream, read
ing letter from her lover.
Now, Miss Nash, if you please, we
will begin" he said to his model, ana
placed her in the desired position. zen
the artist took up his palette and brush
and seated himself in front OF the blank
canvas.
Thsn it was that his eyes missed a
well known sight, and they glared
around the studio in bewilderment.
With an effort and a sigh he pulled
himself together and settled down TO
work. Dipping the brush in the color,
he lifted it to the canvas and-made
nothing but a smear upon the sheet.
Again and again he essayed to bring
back his departed talent, but in vain.
With intense and unutterable horror
it dawned upon him that his artistic
genius had besn but an intellectual
will-o'-the-wisp. No sound escaped
from him: he was as one transfiXed,
staring with wide-open eyes at the can
vas despatched with daubs, without
form and void, and anon TO the blank
wall beyond his easel.
All this time the model had been an
astonished witness of this remarkable
scene. but as the brush fell from Hardys
grasp and, sinking upon chair, he
covered his face with his hands, in alb
ject misery. She rushed up to him.
"Are you i'll. Mr.. Hardy" she asked
breathhlessly.
Oh, it's nothing-only-only | can't
paint-all conceptions of how TO do 1t
has completely gOne-like a frightful
dream when one wakes. It's awful!'
And an eternal darkness seemed TO
gather over his very being.
Just then there was a knock at the
door and the baronet and his daughter
were ushered in. They were deeply
concerned at the phenomenon that had
occurred to the artist.
Now, you and Mary must marry,
and then possibly" the baronet said,
laughing, your Intellectual blight will
disappear. You'll be all right finan-
cially; I've arranged that part of the
business, so it won't matter if you new

A fortnight later the wedding took
placs: Hardy was too occupied 20 dwell
on his lost genius. Three days only
remained of their honeymoon in Scot
land when a telegram arrived, an
nouncing that Sir Henry Greet had died
suddenly from paralysis. So with heavy
hearts. the young couple at once re-
turned to London.

ENTERTAINING AT NEWPORT.
The Guest Is Left TO Find Amy Old
Sort of Amusement.
From the San francisco Wave.

From the San Francisco Wave.
For the benefit of the inexperienced who
may be invited to stop at smart houses in
Newport, Bar Harbor and other fashion
able watering places this summer, It may
prove useful to state that the accepted
fashionable code is that a male guest
should Invariably pay his own dues at the
Casino, Golf and other clubs. But he is at
liberty to accept any invitations, always
providing that they do not conflict with
any entertainment given by his hostess,
and that within the bounds Of decorum he
may dispose of his own time and keep his
own hours With a girl, of course, these
laws are less stringent, but 1t is considered
better form that she should also pay her
own way and be more or less independent
while her hostess is also free to make any
engagements without including her guest.
The sad experience of q nice young wo-
man who had received an invitation from
her mothers old friend, Mrs. w, who
lived in great style at the most fashion

teresting as demonstrating the character
of fashionable life at Newport during the
season. She returned sadder and wiser.
