will break through the surrounding dis
advantages and rest upon its proper
level"
The next morning the stranger took
his departure, and, before doing So
sent the picture, placing first his name
on the corner, to an art dealer in Paris
to be sold.
81 go to Florence" he said to the
landlord. "In a few weeks l will re-
turn this way and will stop with you
again. Keep any mail that comes for
me till then. H.
One morning a month later the stran'
ger reappeared at the inn and was re,
ceived by the landlord and Marina.
"a letter for you," said the landlord.
The stranger took the letter, opened
it, glanced at rectangular bit of pa
per it contained and put it in his
pocket.
"Where is Guliemo?" he asked.
"Ah, signor, since you were here he
has not found another situation. He
is starving"
"Send for him. 1 want to see him."
marina, whose interest in the stran-
ger from the very moment he reap
peared shone in her soft Italian eyes,
ran off for Guliemo, while the land
lord went inside and returned with a
bottle Of wine which he set before his
guest Then Guliemo and Marina
came, the youth looking hungrily at
the man who had told him he was a
genius.
"Guliemo," said the stranger, chow
would you like to go with me to Paris
to study art?"
ooh, slgnor!w exclaimed the youth,
catching his breath.
Here" he said, opening the letter
and taking out the rectangular paper,
sis the means for your education"
"He handed check to the boy, be-
fore whose eyes danced the figures TO-
900 francs.
eff you are a steady fellow and do
not yield to the temptations Of Paris,
IL you wish to return and marry Ma
rina, 1 will make another sketch for
her dot"
A few moments passed before the
two young people could realize what it
all meant. Then with true native Ital-
ian simplicity they knelt before the
stranger. Marina's eyes were wet with
tears, and, taking the artists hand, she
kissed it.
"Who are you, signor, who by the
touch of your brush can turn paper in
to gold?"
"My name is on the face of the check.
I must put it on the back that you may
draw the money"
All stared over the shoulder of Guile
mo, who held the check, and read the
name "Meissonier."
Gulieno went to Paris to study.
There was no need Of dot when he
married Marina, for as soon as he COM
pleted his studies he sprang into fame.

THE MIDAS TOUCH
IOriginal.1


A stranger stopped one evening at an
inn in an Italian hamlet. A girl in the
picturesque costume of the country was
setting the table for supper
as that your daughter?" asked the
stranger of the landlord.
'Yes, signor. Marina is my child,
and q good child she is. Never has she
given me the slightest trouble. Every
body loves her.
{ "She has a sad look"
GThat is because she has come to the
manageable age and l have no dot to
give her. She loves a young man, Gull
emo Luigi, a sheep tender, but he is
very poor; besides, he. is dreamer, or
he fancies art, which is the same thing.
Instead of watching the sheep he
spends his time sketching them. Last
week he lost three sheep and was dis
charged on Saturday. 1t is this just
now that makes Marina sad"
as that one of his sketches-that
ram hanging on the WALTZ"
Yes, signor."
The supper was brought in by the
little maid. who stood opposite the
stranger while he ate, waiting for his
orders with her hands demurely folded
and faraway look in her eyes.
Shortly after supper Guliemo was
sent for. When the table was cleared
the young fellow came in, wondering, as
did Marina and the landlord, what was
wanted of him. The stranger went to
the wall and took down the picture OF
the ram.
- This RAM" he said, "is out of draw
Ing. The foreshortening is bad, but OF
course foreshortening is very difficult.
Let me show you how it should be
done"
Taking a pencil he resketched the
animal on the back Of the paper, max
ing the outline Of a cliff before it.
"Ah. signor, it will step off the cliff!
said GAliemo, delighted with the life
that had been infused into the drawing.
Bring me your colors. Now you
and Marina stand off there. You,
Guliemo, fold your arms and turn
away from her as if in anger. You,
Marina, drop to your knees; place one
hand on his; now try to think that he
is about to leave you, believing that
you have deceived him, while you are
innocent"
The lovers did as the stranger had
bid them. For half an hour he kept
them in the same position, then let
them rest and posed them again.
When he had finished, he showed them
the picture. They both threw up their
hands with delight. The little figure
of Guliemo had served as fine model
for an injured lover; Marina for an in
iured innocence, their costumes enrich
ing the sketch.
.Ah. signor." said GuliemO, eff l
