The husband whom she loved is l."
morning l am sad and / would tell
my griefs to the stones. For she is
dead"
He sobbed. Then Holling taking
him by the shoulders shouted:
MY child, my child. The husband
whom she loved is l. / am Holling,
Holling, Holling, the painter, l pardon
you the grief and evil thoughts you
have caused me during the past eight
days. If you knew what wicked
thoughts l had-my God, was, is she
not pretty, my Lucienne?"
"You were her husband? 1t is Won
derful Once without knowing you II
seemed to me that hated you. Now
love you for you are something that
belonged to her."
Here is my card. But you know
my name already; adieu."
And Holling rushed out of the salon
He is crazy" thought the young
man. Tomorrow shall see you again
Lucienne."
Then he too left, more slowly with
his head bowed down and his eyes to-
ward the ground.
Six weeks later the salon closed. One
evening the man who loved the dead
woman received this letter:
"Sir: You have loved Luciene as she
deserved to be loved. You are the only
person in the world who would guard
her portrait as religious souvenir.
IL had resolved to destroy her por-
trait and kill myself afterwards. l re-
nounce half of my plan. l will kill
myself but l will bequeath the portrait
TO you so that eternal incense may
burn at the feet of my idol. In the
last moment courage fails me. / can
not nerve myself to destroy the por-
trait. while her eyes look into mine.
You will preserve the portrait, l am
sure of it. / have judged you worthy
to have it after me. Adeiu,
"Holling."
1t was true. He was unable to sur
vive his wife. The painter shot him
self in the heart.
The young man took possession of
the tragic image. AT first he enjoyed
a foolish delirium Of JOY. He passed
three days in an ectasy.
Little by little be became calmer.
Finally at the end of six months
when he was about to get married and
needed money he sold the portrait of
Lucienne Holling for $4,000 to a Chi
cago millionaire

rad he thought, alas. that everything
was possible in this terrible world.
Then he realized that in losing his
wife he had not yet suffered the great
est OF pains and that In two days
new born anguish had come to him.
In his double distress he felt jealousy
of the dead.
During the entire week he revisited
the place and each time he saw the
fancied rival. At last the painter
feigning Indifference, naively and
clumsily observed:
Fine painting isn't it?"
The stranger turned slowly as II
awakening with regrets from dream.
oh the painting! That is good but
IL does not do her justice. You should
have seen her in life She was still
more beautiful than that. She was
pretty in every expression. No words,
and no colors could tell the truth"
Holling clenched his fists.
You knew her then. Was she a
great friend of yours?" he asked in
strained voice.
Il? Oh, no. She did not know that
/ existed. But many times | have
seen her passing by and at receptions
and dances. One season followed her
to the seaside, keeping at distance,
daring nothing, hoping nothing. She
loved her husband as everybody said.
Then one could see without eyes that
she was chaste as Diana. But pardon
me, sir, for telling you this. This

High Class Navy Men.

The change in the character ana
methods of naval warfare has brought
into the service a class of men en-
tirely different from those who used
to "shiver their timbers" and splice
the main brace" on our men-of-war
years ago. Battleships. cruisers. gun
boats and torpedo boats are now
enormous engines composed OF the
most delicate and complicated machln-
cry. The sailor of to-day is an accom-
plished scientist. He must be both a
mgchinist and an electrician, and those
requirements have brought into the
service a high class OF men.

The Frame in Mourning.
BY MAURICE MoNTEGUT.

MAOhlOE NUN
Copyrighted 1900, by Daily story Pub Coz
Sad with poignant sadness was
that great frame OF gold, draped with
a large piece of crepe in the middle
of a panel surrounded by groups or
joyous peasants and gayly colored
landscapes. On the day OF the open
ing of the salons exhibition of paint
ings the crowd thronged before the
frame in mourning from which looked
a portrait of a beautiful woman with
sweet face.
The story of the portrait and It's
frame ran from mouth to mouth.
1t was the portrait of Madame Hol-
ling, wife of the celebrated artist. She
had died several days before the open
ing of the salon, and it was his crushed
life full Of despair that the artist
showed in exhibiting this memorial
of his happiness and misery.
Already past middle age he had
loved with doting love that splendid
creature with deep eyes and locks as
resplendent as FURNISHED gold. Five
years Of marriage had not diminished
his autumnal passion. Holling loved
his wife with his eyes, with his heart
body and soul as artist and as hus-
band.
Then one evening a cold wind car
ried her away; she who had been SO
full of life was chilled in death. In
the morning she had sung joyously.
In the evening she was rigid and cold;
she slept in the eternal slumber
The despair of the painter had been
terrible. He sobbed for hours by the
side of her bed All Paris was moved
by the hopeless grief OF one OF her
dearest and most illustrious children.
But caring nothing for their sympathy
or pity and isolated in his anguish,
since the tragic moment, he had gone
through his existence seeing and hear
ing nothing, inconso abe and not wish
ing TO be consoled.
Every morning as soon as the salon
opened Holling appeared ghostiike In
the gallery where hung the frame of
gold with the drapery of crepe. With
arms crossed, twenty PAGES before the
painting, he remained for an indennlte
period contemplating the smiling Wis
age of that young beauty, which was
all that remained of her. He would
say to himself
Yes, yes, it is you, it is indeed you.
There are your eyes, there is your
mouth. Those are the luxuriant tresses
in which ] have plunged my hands All
my God! Lucienne Yes; you look at
me. 1t is l. Oh, your hand SO pale,
with its almost imperceptible blue
viens. 1t is your hand! You are
beautiful here as you were in truth.
You are my masterpiece Of painting, as
you were my masterpiece of love. Poor
child, where are your"
And each morning on coming he
spoke to the immobile portrait and
sometimes it seemed to him that she

BASE BALL AFTERMATH.
The Red Birds Have Been Paid Off and

The Red Birds did nothing yesterday
beyond talking over the victories they
had won, laying plans for the future
drawing their salaries and having their
pictures taken.
Some of the men will remain in Raj
eigh this winter, some will leave for their
homes today and some will join teams at
various towns in the State, where they
will play ball for awhile.
From each and every man comes moth
ing but kind words for Raleigh, and the
hope that they will be with us another
season The club has been paid off and
the season of 1901 is over.
Manager Kelly has addressed a letter
to President Sherwood Higgs laying claim
to the Pennant for the Raleigh team. Be-
fore awarding this President Higs will
wait to hear what Wilmington has to say
in the matter and will then act with the
full facts before him.
Reports from Wilmington say that the
club there had not disbanded, but would
play ball with Goldsboro, Tarboro, New
bern and other towns. The Wilmington
Messenger headlines, Manager Cowan's
telegram and the Evening Dispatch are
all very vigorous in their denunciation of
Raleigh, terming the action here dirty
and rotten the ball team saying that
Raleigh wants to Swindle it of the money
due.
