THE DEATH PANG.

The model was tired, for the pose
was a most fatiguing one. But this
was the last hour of the last day and
he had had double pay throughout the
engagement; che fortunal He was
tall, athletic fellow with a handsome,
sensuous face now somewhat wan and
refined from fatigue, for he was bound
nude to one of the wooden posts sup
porting the cabin roof-his ankles
crossed and bound with cords of twist
ed grass, his arms. slightly bent up
lifted on either side of his head, the
wrist secured with strong wisps. Ar
rows and darts were thrust into the
wood about his head, neck and trunk,
and pile of brushwood was disposed
around his lower limbs for the dark,
slight young man who was painting
rapidly but surely at the canvas on the
rough-hewn easel had employed him to
pose as victim of Indian torture.
The scantily furnished cabin was sit
uated in an isolated and picturesque
dell on bank of the East river, some
distance from Brooklyn, and the artist
had purchased it at a very reasonable
rate from the late owner, who had rea-
sons for departing to region even
more remote at as early a date as pos
sible. Kennedy, as the artist was
called, had sought long time for a
model to his mind, however; but for
tune had thrown in his way this man,
an Italian whom he had unearthed in
New York, and persuaded to visit the
cabin daily-the persuasion having
taken the form of double fees, all ex-
penses and unlimited drink
The picture was practically finished,
save that the face was curiously ex-
pressionless and incomplete, although
the likeness was perfect.

Kennedy. 81 suppose you will be glad
to find an easier job?"
The Italian smiled deprecatingly, but
did not answer.
"Going back to your own country,
.eh, Carlo?' continued Kennedy; got

The Italian leered like satyr, but
replied: "Signor, no."
Lets see, you're from Florence, l
think you said; how long is it since
you left?"
"Signor, eleven years.

"Signor, no." said the Italian, with a
quick, apprehensive look.
Indeed? Well, perhaps you have
heard of love tragedy which occur

friend of mine was mixed up in it,
but the assassin was never discovered.

$50 WE PART TO-DAY, CARLO
My friends name was Chester. He
was a fair-haired, fair-bearded Eng
lishman travelling in Tuscany, and was
happy enough to win the love Of a
beautiful girl named Teresa Peri. But
she had sutton among her own peo-
pie, one Fileppo Currini, handsome
fellow, l believe, but evil and dissolute
beyond redemption. The girl deserted
him and spurned his every advance
with loathing. Did you speak, Carlo?"
"Signor, no; sigh-the day is
long"
"Ah, we'll, you will soon be freed
from your bonds, my Carlo. But to
continue; Fileppo became madly jeal-
Gus of this fair Englishman, whom he
had heard of but never seen, and he
surprised Teresa on her way to the
trysting place to plead with her again,
or threaten, perhaps. Anyhow, he

her slender throat and fed like the

hearted, the Englishman left the

from the wound. Look at it, Carlo

 TORN, Son., Mex, July 20, 1899.
 DEAR DENIS: We have finally got this far This is town on the Ya- qui ryer-.the largest on the river: it is quite little town military head quarters of the first zone. There is real general lives here and d lot os pelon soldiers.
 This is a beautiful country and prac- tically put to no use. It is a shame that it should not be in the hands of some energei ic people. 1t is not as warm here as it is in Hermosillo; don't know why, but it isn't. We are day or two behind our calculations getting here on account of the mud. It has been raining terribly for some days. ahead of us and made the roads bad Day before yesterday we travelled five miles in mud up to the hubs. footing it in slush above the ankles The empty sulky was all the horse could pull. Then we met q Yaqui on horse- back and he tcld us we bad better 20 back and take another road, as ahead there was a vast sea of ten miles square that we would surely get swamped in: so he hooked his lariat to the sulky ahead of our horse, which was about gone up, and pulled us into his ranch. where his squaws fed us and the horse We had good rest. and be started us on another road that we got through all right. IL has been raining on us every night, but only one night did we have it heavy; we sat in the sulky all night or stood up as best we eonld to keep under cover, but, on the whole, we had quite a good trip. have never come SO near starving in my life than on this trip. but we will probably get along better so far as eating goes from here to A la- mos. We carry no cooking outfit nor grub with us: go as light as possible and take chances on finding a ranch or Yaqui "iaeal' to get a bite. Our horse is standing it well, only for his shoulder, which is terrible sore. No- thing that we can do seems to help if. We ought to have bought saddle mules and gone on horseback from Hermo- sillo. but it costs so d. much money As Jack had this horse and snlkv it cost us nothing. When we can go no further with his rig we will hire sad dle mules. It is cheaper than to bny until we see what we have got in the mine Cheapness is the order of the day just now.
 We are staying here all day today to let the horse rest bit and get all our clothes washed and dried The sulky went clear under crossing a ditch four Jays ago and got everything we had soaked in mud, and we have not been able to dry them since oD account of the rain, aud they are about to rot. Some corn got in among our clothes md 1t is growing fast.
