The leaseholderS are not the only people
who have made money out of the oil boom.
It is a curious fact that, with one or two
exceptions, all the land embraced in the
pool is owned by women. Mrs. Hotchkiss,
of Bradford, is one of them. She was
widow in straitened circumstances when the
oil boom came. Her husband bought war
rant No. 5572 at a tax sale several years
ago. Before he died he told her never to
part with it unless it became absolutely
necessary: that if she kept it the chances
were that an oil field would be opened in
that section of the country some day, and
then the one hundred acres of wild land
might bring her a fortune. Her daughter
taught school, and. by carefully econo-

The Device Of GiraldOt the Painter
By ANTHONY HOPE.

,,, Copyright, 1897, by A. Il. Hawkins.l
When the twenty first birthday Of
the Princess Osra approached, her
brother, King Rudolf, desiring to make
her a present, summoned from his home
at Verona in Italy a painter of very
high fame, by name Giraldo. and com.
manded him to paint a portrait OF the
princess, to be her brothers. gift to her.
This command Giraldo carried out, the
princess giving him every opportunity
of studying her features and grudging
no time that was spent by her in front
Of his easel, and the picture. when fin
ished, being pronounced to be as faith
full as beautiful. the reputation of Giral-
do was greatly enhanced by the paint
ing of it. Thus it followed that in many
cases, when foreign princes had heard
the widespread praises of Osra's beauty,
they sent orders to Giraldo to execute
for them and dispatch with all speed
miniatures or other portraits of the
princess, that they might judge for

the pieces OF 1t and all the ruins of the
pictures that Giraldo had destroyed.
But that on which he had last worked
SO happily and with such triumph of art
b carried with her to the palace, and
presently she caused copies to be made
OF it and sent to each of the princes by
whom Giraldo had been commanded to
paint her picture and with it the money
he had received, the whole of which
was found to be untouched in a cabines
in his house. But the picture itself she
hung in her W chamber and would
often look at it, feeling great sorrow
for the fate of Giraldo the painter.
Yet King Rudolf could not be pre-
vailed to pity the young man, saying
that for his part he should have to be
mad before the owe of a woman shonld

even to destruction? There ia your true
picture, Princess Osra." And he flung
himself ON a couch with a mad cry of
rage and then a groan of despair.
The Princess Osra looked at him, and
at the beautiful pictures, and then at
the picture that was like her and yet
like a devil. First she pitied the paint
er, and then marveled at his wonderful
| skill, that so transformed her without
drawing a line that could be called un-
true. Thus thinking, she stood for
awhile, grave and puzzled. But then
she humor struck her, as it struck her
louise always in great things and in
small. and it seemed to her most ludi-
crous that the pictures should all bs
resting here in GiraldO's house, while
the princes who had commanded por-
traits of her had received nothing but
distorted parodies of her face, to the
end that they might be disguised, and,
abandoning the alliance they had pro-
jected, leave her still at Strelsau to be
painted times out of number and most
fruitlessly by this mad painter. And,
these thoughts gaining the mastery over
the others, in spite of the sad plight Of
unhappy Signor Giraldo, her lips curved
into a bow, her eyes cleaned in dancing
merriment, and a moment later she
broke into a glad, gleeful laugh, that
rose and rippled and fell to soft, delight
ed ~murmurings. And she looked again
at the picture that was like her and al
so like a devil, and her mirth grew and
grew at the ingenuity of the work and
the mockiEg deviltry SO cunningly
made out of her face. Small wonder
was it to her now that the embassies
had not come.
The Princess Osra thus stood laugh
ing, and presently Signor Giraldo look
ed up, and when he had listened and
looked for a few moments his wild
mood caught the infection from her, so
that, springing to his feet, he also be-
gan to laugh loudly, like a man who
cannot restrain his amusement, but is
and restraint. Thus Giraldo laughed
loudly, long and fiercely, for there was
madness in his laugh. And the princess
heard the madness, and even while she
still laughed her eyes opened in won
der; alarm came on her face, her merry
laugh quivered, trembled. choked in
her throat, and at last died away into
dumbness, yet her lips hung apart,
frozen in the shape Of laughter while
no laughter came. And as her laugh
thus ended in mute horror his grew
louder yet and wilder, and it's peal rang
through the room as he gasped between
his spasms of horrid mirth, "You, you.
you!' and pointed at the picture which

ROYAL Academy.

The members of the Royal academy
are supposed to paint better than any
one else, and for that reason to have
their anne printed in larger type than
their fellows, and to have their pictures
hung in more desirable positions than
any one else. This is all part of aristo-
cratic privilege which no n here re-
sents, although it raises a smile nov
and then, particularly when we notice
that some OF the work offered by AGA
demicians does not rise to the level sug-
gested by the large print in the cats
logue. In most of the rooms | had &C.
casion to notice the superiority of the
work done by nonacademicians over
that submitted by their titular superb
OTs.
We do not demand that an academi-
clan should be a genius. We are quite
satisfied if he can draw correctly, has
moderately good taste and can spread
his colors a%greeably. The great mass of
work in this exhibition is of a class
which advanced French SCHOOL, people
affect to despise, but which I confess to
enjoying very much-I mean pictures
that tell a story. For instance, the wild
ow who has her little child by the hand
and is offering her last jewel to a pawn
broker, or Andrew Cows picture of
some cavaliers on the seashore waiting
the arrival of Prince Charlie, Or a little
beggar boy brought in to receive a bowl

froze on her lips at Che sight OF GiraI-
dos passion. And he cried in a hoarse
whisper:
He shall not have the picture, he
shall not have itr' And as he spoke he
moved nearer to the princess, who sill
shrank away from him, being now in
very great alarm and thinking that
surely he had run mad. Yet she looked
at him and, looking, saw whence his
madness came, and she felt pity for
him and held out her clasped hands
toward him, saying in a very soft voice
and with eyes that grew sad and tender:
"Ah, signor, signor, am 1 always to
have lovers and never a friend?"
At this the unfortunate painter was
overcome, and, dropping his head be-
tween his hands. he gave a deep, hall
stified sob, and then he cried:
Gods curse on me for having slam
dered the beauty that I lovef' And
then he sobbed again.
But the princess wondered greatly
what he meant by his strange cry, and
turned hex eyes again on him in be-
wildered questioning, saying, as she
pointed to the picture:
"There is no SANDER here, signor,
unless too much praise be SANDER"
Giraldo made no answer in words,
but springing toward her caught her by
the wrist and drew her across the room
to the door behind the easel. With fe.
verish 10 tie he unlocked it and passed
through. The princess, although now
free from his grip, followed him in O
sort of fascination. Giraldo drew the
door close behind him, and at the mo.
ment the princess gave a cry, hall
scream, half laughter, for facing he,

five, six pictures of herself. each beauti

last of the six was the picture that hat
been painted by order of the king O.
G~lottenberg, for she knew it by the at
tire, although the face had not been fin
ished when she had last seen it. A sud
den enlightenment pierced her mind
and she knew that Giraldo had not SEN

him, but had kept them himself ant

conviction found its sure confirmation

But when the copies of the last pic
ture reached the courts to which they
were addressed, together with the money
and a brief history of Giraldo's mad
doings, the princes turned their thoughts
again to the matter of the alliance and
several embassies set out for Strelsau,
so that Princess Osra said, with a smile
that was half sad, half amused and
very whimsical:
