OUR RACE WITH GREAT BRITAIN

The two Engifsh~speaking powers have
left the other great nations behind IN tho

~portaion on their productions. Previous

Of the world far behind. ard al late az

the latter was only sso.9o.0o9 behind. and
in 1873 had left Great Britain behind by

scale turned and Great Britain led By

Let Us now compare u progress with

not be there but for the signor's skill.
Well do | remember that when Luigi
Maffoni painted the portrait of Mon
signore-"
No one needed her, so she continued
the narrative, in an undertone. to the
cat on her lap. The day, however, was
not destined to end as happily as it
had begun. That evening, when they
were alone together in the studio, Fens-
den took Godfrey to task.
Dear boy" he said as he helped
himself to a cigarette from a box on
the table beside him. Il have come
to the conclusion that you must go
warily. There are rocks ahead, and,
as far as l can see, you are running
straight for them"
what on earth is the matter now?'
Godfrey asked, stretching himself out
in an easy chair as he spoke. II know
the poise of that head is not quite
what 1t might be, but haven't / prom
ised you that I'll alter it tomorrow.
Teresina is the very best model in the
world, and as patient as she's beauti-
full"
That's exactly what / am complaining
Of" Victor answered, quietly. "If she
were not, I should not bother my head
about her. I feel, in a measure re-
sponsible, don't you see? II it hadn't
been for me, she would not be here"
The happiness vanished from Cod
frey's face as a breath first blurs and
then leaves the surface of a razor.
'fMy dear fellow, i am afraid don't
quite grasp the situation" he said.
"You surely don't suppose that I am
falling in love with Teresina-with my
model"
Il am quite aware that you're not"
the other answered. There is my
trouble. If you were in love with her.
there might be some hope for her.
But as it is there is none"
Henderson stared at him in complete
surprise.
Have you gone mad?" he asked.

, a man who rows. plays football and
cricket, and who will walk ten miles
to see a wrestling match or a prize
fight, should be gifted with a sense
of colour and touch, is as great a mys-
terry to nae as the habits OF the ichthyo-
| saurus."
And, indeed, what Fensden said was
certainly true. Godfrey Henderson,
one of the most promising of our
younger painters, was as unlike the
popular notion of an artist as could
well be found. He had rowed stroke
in his Varsity boat, had won for him
self a fair amount of fame as a good
all-round athlete, and at the same time
had painted at least three of the most
beautiful pictures-pictures with a
subtle touch of poetry in them-that
the public had seen for many years.
His height was fully six feet one and
a half, his shoulders were broad and
muscular; he boosted a pleasant and
an open countenance, such as makes
one feel instinctively that its posses
sor is one to be trusted. Taken alti-
| gether, a casual observer would have
! declared him to be a young country
squire, and few would have guessed
that the greater portion OF his life was
e-napt cta aJinn ihafara IN ooco1 no1aftn
and brush in hand.
Victor Fensden, his companion, wa
of an altogether different stamp. He
was at least three inches shorter, "a
sPimly built, and at first glance seemed
to possess a highly delicate and nerv-
, GUS constitution. In his dress he also
differed from his friend. His taste be-
trayed a Partially for velvet coats;
his ties were usually startling, so far
as color went; he wore his hair longer
than is customary, and further adorned
his face with a neat little Vandyke
beard and moustache. Like Hender-
son, he was also a votary of the brush.
His pictures, however, We're of the i'm
presslonlSt order-pretty enough in
their way, but lacking in form, and a
tri1e vague as to coloring. On occa-
sions he wrote poetry, had made enc
or two passable translations of Villon,
and. as he had once been known to de-
scribe himself, as a preacher Of the re-
ligion of Advanced Art. There were

same time do your digestion such ir-
reparable injury. l cannot imagine.
There are any number of places where

ave years."
His companion only laughed.
go on, my friend, go on" he said,
slowing a cloud of cigarette smoke.
s.You pretend to be a cosmopolitan of
cosmopolitans, but you will remain
insular to the day of your death. To
you, a man who has not the good for
tune to ne born an Englishman must
of necessity be dirty. and be possessed
of a willingness to sever your jugular

say at not being able to find the face
/ wanted. l owe you ten thousand
apologies"
But Fensder would no hear of such
a thing as an apology. His only desire
was that the picture should be success
full, he said.
Il mad no idea that the fellow was
so fond of me-" Henderson remarked
to himself that night when he was
alone in his bedroom. Fancy his
hunting through London for a model
for me. He is the last man l should
have thought would have taken the
trouble"
Next morning Teresina entered up
on her duties, and Godfrey set to work
with even more than his usual enthus-
iasm. The picture was to be his mag
mum opus, the greatest effort he had
yet given to the world. The beautiful
Italian proved to be a good sitter, and
her delight as the picture grew upon
the canvas, was not to be concealed.
Meanwhile Fensden smoked innumer-
able cigarettes, composed fin-de-siecle
poems in her honour, and made a num-
Der Of impressionist studies of her
head that his friends declared would
eventually astonish artistic London. If
the picture were to be completed in
time for the Academy, there was no
time to be lost, as Godfrey was well
aware. Already he had several half
formed notions in his head for future
work in which Teresina's beautiful face
would play an important part. AT last
the picture was finished and set in.
Then followed that interval of anxious
waiting, so well known to those who
have striven for such honours as the
Academy has to bestow. When it was
discovered that it had passed the first
and second reflections great was the re-
joicing in he studio.
"1t is your face that has done it,
T~eresina," cried Godfrey. 81 knew
they wouldn't be able to resist that"

was present, such compliments will
