mat night. Carita, dearest. But why
do you look so sad, little one?"
You will go away" she answered,
and shall see you no more"
But you will go back to the green
and dance with Pierre and the rest as
happy as ever"
mo, no; never!" she exclaimed. st
cannot go back"
Then come with me, darling"
The look of joy that overspread her
countenance displeased the artist He
must restore the ideal Madonna face
of his dream
The short glimpse Of paradise per-
mitted Carita was followed by days of
anxiety Her beloved ''Maitre," as she
continued to call him, did not return
one day to the little vine-covered cot
tage where he had concealed his pre-
cious model. She waited and waited in
vain In the rose garden, while Durand
from his secret studio watched the
dropping figure in the midst of her
roses and lilies. He studied the beau
tiful face with eager interest
Every day brings her nearer my
ideal. Nowhere in the world of art is
there another face like hers. 1t would
stir the heart of stone. What depths of
feeling in those eyes; what a faithful
love her sweet dropping mouth re-
veals! But her profile-diyinely beau
tiful! Thou hast not many days more
to suffer, dear love. On the morrow I
must catch the immortal expression
which is to bring me the fame of an
Angelo" Thus meditated the artist as
he sat in his concealed studio and
painted the face of the sorrowing wom-
an in the garden.
On the morrow Durand waited long
for the figure to appear on the bench
among the roses. AT last she came, in
her white robe, and turned her beau
tiful face up to the sky. Mother of
sorrow. what despair, what agony that
face revealed
The artist seized his brush and
painted as if inspired.
"'Tis we'll / delayed no longer, for
hairs breadth less of contour would
have destroyed her beauty" His eyes
were feverishly bright, his -breath came
in quick gasps. Already he tasted the
supreme triumph of the artist in the
work which brings him fame. After
an hours eager work he threw down
his brush, crossed the room and stood
viewing his painting with a satisfied
smile.
There, my saint, I have your sad,
sweet face on canvas and / shall no
longer trouble your faithful, loving
heart. come to drive away despair"
A cry from the rose garden reached
Durand He rushed across the room
and pushed aside the vines that hid the
easement.
God in Heaven, what had happened
On the garden bench lay the lifeless
form of Carita, with a knife thrust
into her bosom.
Durand leaped from the window and
knelt in anguish before his love. The
ambition of the artist was lost in the
unavailing cry of the human heart.
The pictured face in the studio was
forgotten by the man who bent in an
agony of remorse over the dead one in
sthe garden.

TIE EARLY HoxRsrEADHRs.
They Were 0uS First Exp"nsioh'sts
ana Many Of Thorn Were
T0rei4nsFs.

The homssteadsrs who have settled
the great west were our first expan-
sionists. Many Of them are foreign
ers. Most of the immigrants who have
taken up farms on the prairies are OF
the superior races of northern Europe
sturdy, intelligent. industrious and
ambitious to get ahead in the world;
people who are calculated to make de.
sirable citizens, and to contribute
brain/and sinew to the growing repub-
lie, says the philadelfh Saturday
Evening Post.
There is something striking in the
situation Of civilized family that vol
unfairly changes its normal circum-
stances for those which environ hu-
man beings in their most primitive
and helpless state. From the view
point of civilized man, with his elab-
crate social organization, nature Is
an obedient servant; but to the lonely
pioneer, who invades her realm with
nothing to help him but few tools
and q stout heart, she Is . dangerous
enemy. On every side per1ls threat
ened the early homesteader-not the
least being the hostile savages, who
were likely at almost any moment to
swoop down upon his home.
The typical homestead Of the Da-
kotas is fat and level. Seen from
balloon, it would usually appear as
Geld Of waving wheat. There is little
timber. In the foothills of the Rock
les, on the other hand, the farms are
more picturesque, whether located ON
river bottoms or on the uplands Of the
hills, where streams cut their way
down through the mesa lands. Water
Is plenty in those parts for irrigation,
and, in winter, game Of many kinds
come down from the mountains. The
river bottom farms are rich in grass
and are often timbered mewhat.

WORK or i CLOAK MODEL.
For $40 Week She Pafudes the
store Alslss "showing or"
Clothing,

Cloak models find their services in
great demand at this season of the
year. The daily papers contain ad-
vertisements calling for stylish
young ladies with 36-inch busts and
l3-inch skirts" which sizes still re-
main the standards in shop suits, al
though the new shape produced by
the straight-front corset has made
the measurement Of woman consid-
erably different.
A 38.inch bust is now the average
and the average waist measure is rs
inches. Such waist measure would
have been considered very large two
seasons ago, but every woman under
stands that the new waist line Is no
longer the shortest distance around
the body, as formerly. The new
waist line is stretched slanting wise
around the body two or three inches
below the actual waist.
4 great many people get their ideas
OF cloak models from the finely
dressed young women who pose in
the fashionable shops in the winter
to show fur and party cloaks. But
these persons of distinguished ap-
pearance and mien are not really
cloak models in the usual sense. A
cloak model Of the wholesale house,
whose hardest season is now begin
ming, is very different. and her place
is no sinecure. A young woman with
good appearance can obtain such
place during the busy season at sal
ary of from 50 to $14 q week.
When the summer girl is fitting
around seashore piazzas and ball
rooms in fleecy gauze gowns the
cloak model spends ten hours day
putting on and taking off heavy win
ter gowns, which is pretty hot work
for warm day in midsummer. The
wholesale houses begin to take their
orders for winter goods about this
time and buyers come from the west
and elsewhere to select the styles
that please them. Oddly enough, most
OF the buyers are men, but they are
experts at picking out the good-sell-
ing suits and garments, which are
not always the prettiest.
But the model must be pretty, not
SO much as to her features rs to her
style and grace. She must be nicely
gowned and have her hair arranged
in elaborate style. Her gown is
black and she is obliged to wear
woven bodice of black Jersey cloth of
the sort that was fashionable few
years ago. She is tightly corseted
and holds herself somewhat stifiy as
to shoulders and hips.
BY eight she aust be in her place
at the shop and she is on her feet all
day with stop of half an hour for
luncheon. She goes over her stock
each morning, arranging the suits
and coats and acquainting herself
with the trademarks, tickets and
prices. The buyer arrives early and
then she begins the work OF putting
on the gowns and showing them to
the buyer by walking slowly up and
down so as to bring out their good
points She does not speak unless
spoken to. Until six this work keeps
steadily up and for this she receives
an average pay Of $40 week. Only
the star models get s14.
1t can readily be seen, says the
Philadelphia Press, that a girl who
worl1s behind counter for ~ or "
a week Is much better paid than
model, but the salesgirl must be able
to sell goods, while models looks
are the important thing about her.
