The Strength Of Michael Angelo.


Michael Angelo relied almost en-
tirely upon form-the form of the fig
ure and of the draperies, writes
Charles H. Cafin in st. Nicholas. He
told Pope Julian H., when the latter
requested him to paint the ceiling of
the Sistine chapel at Rome, that he
vas not a painter, but a sculptor; yet,
after he had shut himself up for four
years-from 1903 to 1512-and the
scaffold was removed, a result had
been achieved which is without paral.
lei in the world. Very wonderful is
the work which Michael Angelo
spread yer this vast area of 10, OOO
square feet. The fact that there are
343 principal figures, many of colos.
sal size, besides a great number of
others introduced for decorative eff.
feet, and that the creator of this vast
scheme was only SO when he began
his work-all this is marvellous, prodi-
gious, and yet not SO marvellous as
the variety of expression in the fig.
ures Of which Jeremiah is only one
figure, in a small side arch.

Rufus Winslow was the fac smile
of his twin brother Dick in face and
figure, but in temperament and dispo-
sition they were opposites. They both
came to love Kate Laurel, the pretti-
est girl in Yorkville; Dick. with a
warm. winning affection; Rufus, with
a jealous eXacting intensity.
AS for Kate, when she was with
Dick her fancy wandered to Rufus,
n when in the presence OF the lat
ter she longed for the former. Her
tickle fancy wavered like a weather.
cock until one day after witnessing
Rufus conquer an unmanageable horse,
she flew in fear to the willing, open
arms OF Dick. When Rufus heard Of
their engagement, he became gloomy
and morose and swore TO himself that
he would still WOO and win Kate. ;
Judge Laurel, father of the fair
Kate, frowned upon the attachment
and forbade Dick the house. To com
pllcate matters, war with Spain was
declared n Dick and Rufus. who
were serSeants ia the National Guard,
must perforce serve their country.
They marched away with their com
pany to join the regiment at a rendez-
vous camp, leaving Kate d%isconsolate.
One day when her father was absent
from home, she went to the camp and
spent a sadly happy day with Dick.
Kate" he said, when bidding her
goodbye, why can't we be married
before go to war? Then nothing
could part lis. Will you, Kate?"
Kate would, and they arranged that
a week from that night. she should
come to the little town near camp.
Dick would get a few hours leave,
and meet her there with a minister
and a license. AS the marriage was
to be a secret one on account of
Rates cruel parent, they decided to
meet on the edge of a grove in the
outskirts of the town.
Al.s for the plans Of mice and men!
especially soldier men. On the night
set for the wedding, which was the
last night the company would remain
in camp, Dick was detailed on spe-
cial duty and could not get relieved,
He groaned to think how Kate would
Watcn and wait and wonder at his
nonappearance. In his extremity he
was obliged to confide in Rufus.

not let me off if were to tell him the

for town. On the way thither he laid

The Best of Life.

| Not till life's heat is cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet

And every purblind passion that has ruled

Spurs us in vain, and weary Of the race.

For place or owe or gold to gid a name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, We're to lose our

In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting We grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us
Broken among our %childhood's toys, for
