eyes or Mop"

A pretty story of how Henry M. Stan
ley wooed and won Miss Dorothy Ten
nant, though coming to us from private
sources, has been made sufficiently pub
lie to avert the charge of undue person
ality. Miss Tenant, it is well known,
was the original of Sir John Millais'
famous picture, eyes or No?' 1t seems
that Stanley had asked the question,
and the reply was "No."
The great explorer went to Africa
again, and after several years returned
to London, to find himself the most talk
ed Of man of the day.
The thought of Miss Tenant was
still uppermost i'll his mind, and he
resolved that his first visit should be to
her home. In his Impotence for the
morrow he turned over the cards and
notes with which the table was strewn,
and selecting one haphaZard decided to
while away the time by attending GER
tain reception.
The first person he met there was
Miss Tenant. They greeted each other
formally, but later in the evening Stan
ley retired to small anteroom. to find
that Miss Tenant had likewise sought
solitude. A somewhat embarrassing 81
lence ensued, broken at last by the
woman saying, with the manner of
one making conversations"
DO you find London much changed,
Mr.. Stanley"
No. haven't found London changed.
and I've not changed either" returned
the explorer, with his usual intrepid
ity. "Have you?"
Yes, I've changed, answered Miss
Tenant softly.
A few days later Millais received a
note from his former subject, beginning:
MY DEAR SIR JoHN-The momentous ques
ton has been at last decided. 1t is joyful
and triumphant ''Yes!"

and glanced directly at the portrait
"You have been looking at it," she
asked, mechanically taking up her pal
cite and brushes.
Yes" said, and she seemed to ex-
pect me to say more.
cts good likeness, ism it?" she
remarked presently.
cit is too flattering," 1 answered, sit
ting down opposite it.
She looked at me suspiciously, but
my face was full of innocence. Jack
doesn' think So she said.
But he is so absurdly vain," said l.
mot more than other men, sup
pose," she retorted.
Her back was toward me and l could
see her listlessly dabbing at the back
ground of the portrait. "Yet you say
he is not satisfied with that painting, :"
l said. "What fault can he fnd?"
Nothing definite; but he wants me
to alter it"
However painful it may be, you
must keep your art pure. 1t is true that
in the noble cause of realism you have
accumulated his worse points,
"No, I haven't" she said with some
heat.
~ honor you for it. Very few girls
would have had the courage to treat the
portrait of lover in so bold way,
even to the suggestion of caricature.
"But you said I had flattered him, I"
she cried.
"Truth is the highest fattery," an
swered sententiously. "And if Meadows
be not high minded enough to see it you
will not regret his loss
His loss? What do you mean?" she
exclaimed
81 saw him just now He does not
appreciate your noble self sacrifice He
said if you had really loved him you
would not have pointed out his homeli
ness to the world He seemed to feel it
a good deal"
"Homeliness He is beautifulv' she
cried Indignantly.
Really, my dear young lady, you
can't say that with that almost speak
ing likeness in front of u.s." and I
pointed to the portrait.
With a sudden movement she smudged
brushful of paint over the face on the
canvas.
"What are you doing? Are you mad?"
I said.
"No, not now"
'But remember the fine technique.
For an instant she paused-but only
for an instant. Then she took some
more paint and rubbed it violently over
the portrait I saw Meadows looking
round the door and beckoned him in.
"Your portrait is done for" said.
She threw down her palette. Jack
Look at itn' she cried, with laugh
that seemed to catch in her throat.
There is now hanging in the Mead
ows' dining room portrait of the mas
ter of the house. 1t is not at all good
painting, but Jack gazes at it with sat
isfaction. 1t is by his wife, and when
her friends suggest that she has flatter-
ed her husband she smiles.
Once saw her looking at it rather
sadly and asked her if she were regret
ting the one she had destroyed. Perhaps
it was an indiscreet question.
She shook her head. "No, sometimes
think acted hastily, for it really was
good" she said.
"But surely this one is, ON the whole,
better?" said l.
"Jack thinks So" she answered, and
she sighed. WESTMINSTER Budget.

A STiCKLER FOR ETIQUETTE,
The Boss Saw the Joke and Sprung Bet
ter One.

The Boss Saw the Joke and Sprung Bet
ter One.
Of course it was a good joke. Hadn't
the boss said that he didn't want every
body i'll the office running in to see him
OH every little preteXt? Hadn't he told
one of the clerks that if the latter want
ed anything brought to his attention he
should speak to his immediate superior
and have the matter come to him through
the proper channels?
Naturally, in view of this, every one
was tickled when the assistant book
keeper said to the bookkeeper:
MIR. Davis, will you please ask Mr.
Hill to ask Mr.. Smith to ask Mr.. John
son to ask the boss if can get off to-
morrow at o'clock?"
The bookkeeper saw the humor of the
thing at once and promptly delivered
the message to Mr.. Hill, and so it went
up step by step to the boss, who smiled
sickly sort Of smile when the request
was repeated to him.
"Ah, yes" he said. 1.-THE assistant
bookkeeper seems to be a great stickler
for office etiquette
eyes, SIR" returned Mr. johnson.
"He was anxious that the request should
reach you through the proper channels. "
"Quite right" said the boss. Nov,
might call him in and give him my
answer in person, but that would hardly
be in conformity with his ideas of pro-
priety, would it?"
"Well sir, suppose it is only a little
joke
Eyes, yes, of course. Very amusing,
this stepladder business. Now, MIR.
johnson, will you please tell Mr.. Smith
to tell Mr.. Hill to tell Mr.. Davis to tell
the assistant bookkeeper that his services
are dispensed with And while you are
passing the message down you might
add that if we have any more of this
stepladder business I'll kick the whole
ladder over and throw it out of the
office. II. L. McGrath in New York
