He didn't stay long in the West, but

heart. Melancholy possessed him. He
resolved to give a dinner that was in
harmony with his state Of mind. His
famous dead mans feast" was the
result.
The dinner took place on Friday, the
18th Of the month, and thirteen covers
were laid. There were thirteen
courses, thirteen walters and an or
chestra shrouded in black composed
Of thirteen players.
In the center of the table was a per

bones while the orchestra played a
gruesome dirge.
At the stroke Of every hour figures
dressed as shades passed before the

Miss Gwynne was very lovely, and
she had the breezy charm and fresh

nerve which make American women
so attractive to Brhshers. Young
Roper-Curzon fell head over heels in
love with her.
He gained a reluctant consent from
Miss Gwynne, but her parents did not
look with favor upon the proposed
match. The mother especially oppos-

Roper-Curzon must gain the consent
OF his family before he married their
daughter
Curzon hurried to England and
straigthway sought his father, max
ing clean breast Of the whole affair
"You must not marry beneath your
position" cried the elder Roper-Cur-
zon, adding a threat Of disinheritance.
So the young man fingered in Lon
don. The pleased father increased his
allowance and Arthur Eric Roper
Curzon tried to enjoy life in social dis

After more than two years OF sepa-
ration he decided to sacrifice every
thing and seek her in America, to
marry her If he could persuade her to
consent He gathered a small amount
OF money and started for Canada He
had told his father Of his determina-

stopped his allowance.
When the young man reached To-

heart was married. She had not
made a brilliant match from a mate

supremely happy
Capt Roper-Curzon realized that he
must forget in good earnest. He de-
cided to settle IN Canada, to become a
farmer In the far Northwest.
He enrolled as a student in the On

ARTISTS AND THEIR MODELS.
Beauty Of Face and Form Are Rarely

Beauty Of Face and Form Are Rarely
Found Together.
Artists say it is curious but never
theless true that beauty Of face and
form are not often found IN one and
the same person. The woman who
has an ideal face frequently fails
from the standpoint Of figure, so that
painters are obliged to make their
ideal figure from half a dozen models.
From one will come a beautiful throat
or arm or shoulder; from another a
perfect back, and SO on. Even after
that the painter has to idealize his
igure-to throw into it whatever form
OF fieeting expression he desires.
Once in a while his model gives him
unconscious help. The model who
posed for Chureh's Fairy Tale" used
TO tell OF having once stood before the
picture at an exhibition, listening to
the comments Of enthusiastic visitors.

died. Then, IN the language OF one
Of his friends, 'Roper-Curzon dropped

His share Of the estate was little
less than 100000.
While waiting for the estate to be

six friends to the Klondike.
He quickly tired Of the rigors and
hardships OF arctic travel. Their out

that country. One day Capt. Roper
Cuzon said to the others:
Boys, I'm tired Of Indian bucks and
squabbling squaws; let's 90 back
where there is something decent to
eat and something going on"
OF course they were willing to re-
turn. He was paying for the whole
show. The head Of the party gave
their guides pretty much all Of the
outfit. including four horses, and led
his friends to Winnepeg. The Klon-
dixie trip cost him something more
than $4,000
