turo feeling for the n Il her guitar to
tune her music to the sorrow of earth.
And l, said Bellini. will! paint her
In mine rapt in JOY when the sorrow OF
earth has passed away"
Carpaccio painted away at his "Presen-
tation," and little Zanze sat as his model,
holding her guitar upon her crossed knee
while with serious face she listened for
the note she sought to tune to tie wall of
sorrow. For little Zinc always accom-
panied her. She carried him with diff
Guilty to the room owes a shop In the Mer-
cera where the artist painted, and there
no lay on the floor, while his little guard
ian was earning more as Carpaccios model
than she had ever done ms the street mu-
stefan of the steps The artist gave her an
easy time and moro food than she often
had at honle, where old Norma Wanna,
who cleaned the house and cooked such
dinner as there was to cook, did not min
lister much to tho luxuries of the palate.
But at last her sittings with Carpaccio
were finished, and John Bellini engaged
her for his angel. Bellini had kind,
motherly wife, and Zanze liked sitting to
him much better than to Carpaccio. He
never said anything that she could not I'M
derstand, and Madonna Rosalia found n
whole set OF new clothes for the poor idiotic
baby-a gift hich won Zanze's heart for
ever. But he did not find her quite as
satisfactory n model as Carpaccio had done
He wanted her little face to be rapt in
praise an ecstasy of gratitude and moth
ing would make her look anything but
happy and smiling. He brought her
sweets and wooden doll and IA new hood
and though her little face looked charm
ingly pretty, flushed with childish pleasure
and gratitude, it was not at all what he
desired
One day CarpaCcio came into his friends
studio and found Bcllini less serene than
usual He had been trying again and
again to paint y study of Zanzo which
should express the rapture of praise he de-
sired and he could not get anything but
"a sweet, happy, contented child's face
Sweets or bits Of dncry were gratefully
received with sparkling eyes and dimping
cheeks, but this was not what Bellini
wanted. Carpaecio sat and watched tho
painter and the two children for some
time; then he said:
send Ianze away for today, Giovan-
nino. have thought how to obtain
what thou desirest.'
Zane was dismissed and hidden to come
again in the afternoon, while Madonna
Rosalia told her that she should keep
Zinc with herself in the interval
