An UnprofeSSiondi Model.

The sun, declining on the coast of Nor
way. made the wide ford simmer like
liquid gold below the purple mountains.
Christine sat at the foot of the cliff dream
ing-not that she was asleep, but lost in
reverie. The sun made her long, braided
hair shine like halo as she rested her
cheek on her hand and dreamed. Her
thoughts were far away, and she did not
notice that some one had quietly rowed
his boat within short distance of where
she sat. He was evidently an artist, for
at his feet in the boat lay an open port
folio.
He dropped his oars, entranced at the
unexpected and lovely vision. The flow
erlike face of the girl, the quaint cos
tume-a short brown wooden skirt, a
cbemisette of snowy linen, black velvet
bodice and red stocking cap on her
cleaning hair.
What a study for his next exhibition.
Snatching his pencil, he made q hasty
sketch of the little figure, with the cliffs
looming up behind, the placid water al
most touching her feet. She was surely
a fairy of this land of romance, and
presently the little elves would come to
seek her. he could almost fancy them
whispering to her now. Having finished
the sketch, he gently rowed ashore.
Christine started with surprise as he
lenped from the boat, but was reassured
by the respectful manner in which he ad-
dressed her.
IL beg your pardon for intruding." said
he, politely. II had no idea there was
any one in this region but myself. But
will you kindly tell me the name of this
place? 1t is marvelously beautiful"
And he sat down on n rock nearby
''That is the Naeroford." she replied.
and her eyes seemed fathoms deep as she
spoke. at is very beautiful. but a sad
thing happened here"
what was that? Do tell me-" he nsk-
ed, at the same time making mental
notes of the lovely model he intended to
reproduce on the other side of the sea.
"AIany years ago." she went on. "a
beautiful maiden lived on this mountain.
and she sang so sweetly in the evening
that all were charmed who listened to
her. She was merry and happy. and her
songs were gay as any birds. But one
day stranger came in his boat--even as
you come now--and. hearing the maiden
sing as she sat here. he praised her voice
and said many things which pleased her.
And after that they met here every even
ing during the summer time. and she was
so happy she sang only for love of him.
Though he lived in distant country,
she consented to become his bride. He
promised to come for her when the
leaves fell in the forest, but he did not
come. The snow covered the mountains
and the spring melted 1t, and then she
knew she would see him no more. And
