Yet Mr.. Peale's cunning of eyes and
hand seemed to have deserted him, and
that hours sitting was altogether un-
satisfactory. When his sitter had gone
he decided to take a turn in the air to
see if that might put this mood away.
An hour after Burton was asked by
Miss Ronald If Mr.. Peale were in. No.
Might she not see the portrait again
Burton did not hesitate, and left her in
the studio.
Did she wish TO ask of that face how
she might bring the original to her pur-
pose? The figure stood firm, the hand
on the cannon. The boy and the horse

this war. He appeared to Eleanor Ron
aid of pitless strength. What had led
her here to look at it after that inter
view? She could not have told. She had
said it was the wish to apologize to Mr..
Peale. But, finding him out, she had
asked to see the portrait. Now, looking
at 1t, her heart was full of despairful
passion. Everything had been tried for
Capt. Jermyn, and last of all she had
made her appeal, and had failed. The

Il wish Congress were a woman, then,
said he.
"Bnt, O, your excellency, how can
face Mr. Peale?"
Don't mind" said he. I'VE will-to-
gether. | don't believe he can be worse
than the kings men at Long Island"
At the door Burton met them, and
stared suspiciously at the young lady. OF
course he knew, she said to herself; and
invountarily she caught her escorts arm,
and so cinging to the general she entrered
the studio.
Mr. Peale looked around from the can
vas on tn easel. If he started at first
his face fell into courteous Indifference.
"Mr. Peale," she began, anticipating
the general, Il did it."
Her voice, her bowed head declared
reimbursement
"What?" said he.
Let me explain" the general inter
rupted you heard the conversation

Capt. JermynY'

having forced herself on my presence in
your studio, she saw the picture, and, for
getting that it was not the original

She listened with beating heart, and
heard Mr.. Peale say easily:
why the portrait is untouched There
it IS"
She raised her head, and saw in wonder
the full length of the general.
And then | dreamed it?" she cried
'Yes, think you dreamed it, And don't

did not seem the least hysterical. His
heart stirred; for she was very pretty
and in distress.
''Siy dear young lady," he said sooth-
ingly, don't feel so badly. Come with
me to Mr. Peale. Will explain all, and
put the blame on myself"
"But you did not daub the portrait "
"Ah, yes, by proxy; made you do it.
A smile broke through the tears that
would come. 90 sir if you would help
me that much. j should go alone, and
tell him, but with you-I shall be braver"
''Them l am not so bad after allY'

AN AFTERNOON
AT MIR. PEALESSs
Story of the Painting of the Original Portrait of Washington
Bv CLINTON ROSS.
Copyright, 1897, by Clinton Ross.)

Mr. Peale bent lovingly over his faVor-
ite subject, putting touch here, rhere
and standing back to note the effect. Ii

sentative of his Spanish majesty, NOD
ded approval; yet made the very remark
of Washington Irving, a generation az
ter, mo artist catches his best look.
sNo. M Mirialles," said Mr.. Peale;
sstihat maddens me.
.'Still, | like it." said the don, waggmg
his head wisely. Il must have my copy
in hurry"
Its keeping pace with the original;
and. indeed. is almost an original itself.
There it is. against the wall, behind the
screen. They are nearly alike, are they
not?"
.sYes." said the don, critically II can
hardly tell the difference, l declare
wait until they may be finished, Mr..
Peale interrupted irritably.
But they appear almost so now.
30, yes, to you; but it's the last touch
that tells: | never know. Perhaps /
may not be able to put on that last touch
which leaves a portrait living
Don Mir:alles smiled at this exhibition
of the artistic temper and asked how
many times the artist had done that sub
ject.
sIet me see; first in 73, when the
three miniatures of the Custis children
were done in addition, and then that
bust study was made-that in the cor
ner. Since, the general has given sit.
tings in rs and again in rs. But he
changes the artist went on.
'aThe spirit acts on the face said the
other sympatheticaAy.
"Yes," Mr.. Peale said. And perhaps
you have to see a bit into mans heart
to paint him properly, and the heart of a
man of action never beats two years
alike"
Don't forget that in my copy, mon
sieur, | suppose | can't cajole the coun-
CD to let me have this. But | don't
know THAT / wish it; mine will be almost
as good"
'sYou may believe I shall do what |
may" said the painter, remembering
how generous a patron was this noble
man.
The visitor was sure that Mr. Peale
certainly had, and would, in view of the
fact that his Spanish majesty wished to
look on the face of that wonderful gen
eral of whom the world was now talk
ing.
Mr.. Peale's lslacl1 servant, Burton,
brought in wine. and cakes when Don
Mirialle's enthusiasm increased. Infor-
tunately, he went on in the vein of ex-
planation, he must act in America
through the French minister: but that
would not be always. When he returned
to Madrid he would make them under
stand that the king of Spain should rec
ognize the United States.
Now he rose and bade Mr.. Peale a
courteous goodday. He had a round OF
visits to make.
Alone. the painter touched the cannon

! portrait seemed to take the place of the
original She hated it as fiercely as she
| did him; as much as she loved John
| Jermyn. One of those intense natures
that give all, she could be everything
| that is exquisite in woman, could be
honest and faithful to the last, and yet,
when it was the peril of one she loved,
| she could be a mad woman. And now 1t
was madness for the moment.
The afternoon sunshine fell over the
| figure, bringing out the details. Yes, its
mocking strength appalled, and shocked.
| Not knowing what she, did, she seized a
brush and made a daub over the face
that suddenly became leering. Turning
with a low cry she hurried out through
the han to the waiting coach, and, in a
tone trembling so that the man stared,
gave the order.
What had she done? she asked. She
knew only too well; and she had but
hurt Mr.. Peale. That calmly strong
figure was as much out of reach as ever.
| Self -loathing left her i'll and gasping, as
the coach drew to her door. So pale and
| listless she reached her room. On the
desk was a letter, and she strated, noting
the hand and the seal. Tearing it open,
she read:
Dear Nell got away / will ex-
| plain later But | am unhurt and in
/ New York / just have reported to Sir
/ Henry, and now hasten to apprise You
Of the fact Yrs, dear, Jack Jermyn."
A few moments after, all dead in her
heart save a passion of self-abasement,
she ordered her coach. But one course
was clear. She must go directly to Mr..

He stared, wondering why she ex-
pressed so little elation.

And, undismayed, I'd try again-her

For, though her lips they told me no, her

And now for years she's been my wife,
we both are getting old,
Our heads are white, our backs are bent,
but love has not grown cold.
Content we journey hand in hand along

JOY keeps our hearts forever young, MS on
