A LEPAGE PICTURE.
The Work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.


The Work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.
The label on certain spring water
still in use was designated by Du
Maurier, who was probably not over
paid for it, and New York artist who
has since gained distinction eked out
the hardest part of his early struggles
by designing advertisements for a
commercial house. There have been
many more perhaps, but the most con-
gpicuous on record is Bastien Lepage,
who through this very fact was forced
into fame. He was pursued by unmer-
,eiful disaster through his youth in his
efforts to study art His mother worked
in the fields to keep d sickly boy at
school. At fifteen he went alone to
Paris, starved for seven years, painted
without success, but still-painted. He
had just finished a picture to send to
the Salon when Paris was besieged,
and he rushed with his comrades to
the trenches.
On the first day shell fell into his
studio and destroyed his picture, and
another shell burst at his feet, wound
ing him. He was carried home and lay
Ill and idle for two years. Then he re-
turned to Paris and, reduced to abso-
lutte want, painted cheap fans for
living.
One day a manufacturer of some pat
ent medicine ordered a picture from
him to illustrate its virtues. Lepage,
who was always sincere, gave his best
work to this advertisement. He paint
ed a landscape in the April sunlight
The leaves of tender green quivered in
the breeze. A group of beautiful young
girls gathered around a fountain from
which the elixir of youth sprang in a
bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit in it.
LET me offer it at the Salon?" he
asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
"But first paint rainbow arching over
the fountain" he said, with the name
of my medicine upon It."
Lepage refused.
"Then l will not pay you a sou for
the picture"
The price Of this picture meant bread
for months, and the painter had long
needed bread. The chance of admis
sion to the salon was small. He hesi
tated. Then he silenced his hunger and
carried the canvas to the salon. 1t wal
admitted
Its great success insured Lepag'
public recognition, and his later worl
gained him a place among the creates
OF living artists.

The Cabbnge snake Harmless.

chronological authorities as far as
heard from seem to be unanimous in
prOnouncing the so called cabbage
snake" story a fake. 1t is true there
is a harmless worm which is headless
and, in the cabbage, lives only by alb
sorptiOn of the juice of the plant. 1t is
thought to originate as a parasite on
grasshOppers and other cold blooded
insects. A bacteri0logist states that it
will not live in the human body, which
is too warm for it. 1t cannot stand
the absorption of the warm juice or
gases of the body. This worm, how
ever, has apparently been found in un-
usually large numbers in cabbage the
past season and has been by no means
beneficial to the prospects of those with
whom krautmaking is generally a prof
table industry.

"Oh. there is no need to worry about

get q cab and soon afterwards drove
away with her few belongings and her
baby boy. going to another part OF the
| great city where she had lived four
| years previously.
1t was during the evening of the same
day that Robert Mason returned. He
had received a commission to explore
a district on the East Side by night
and he had carried out the task and
had written his description of what he
had seen.
His mind was quickly made up; he
was able TO pay some of the rent and
thus redeem a few of his household
goods, and with these he removed TO
another lodging.
Two days later he called on Mrs.

But no sign came from Agnes and,
to drown his troubles. Robert began to
drink, spending most of his earnings In
i~ntoxicants, and steadily going the
path that leads to disaster.
The months went by; Robert Mason
did not know how many. Sometimes he
would be pulled round By friendly adj
vice or a slight accident, and he would
go on steadily and soberly for a time,
only to lapse again.
During these intervals he would try
To find Agnes, and IL was probably
failure to trace her that caused the
lapse.
il was while unde the influence OF
a cornwall gathering that he found
her and lost her again because he did
not know Ii. Yet that incident marked
a change for the better and frightened
his life,

somebody else. He had fallen in love
with Agnes Torrens. an attractive
young woulan; they were both full of
the hopefulness of youth. they both be-
Iieved that Robert was bound to make
q name and earn a constantly ~increas-
ting income, so they married.
A year passed very, very happily, but
after the birth Of the baby there was
n change in their circumstances. Rob
fert determined to try a novel, and for
that reason had relinquished some of
lis regular journalistic and literary
work which had supported him.
Money was becoming scarce and they
We're running into debt, but 1t was all
TO be set right when the novel was
finished. Robert INDUCED in dreams of
n extent of the sum which would be
paid TO him for the copyright, if he
sold ii. or the total of the royalties he
would receive on the sale of so many
Thousand copies of his work. They
would be rich.
1t was a great shock to Robert and
Agnes when the novel was refused by
the publisher to- whom it vas first of
fered. and the refusal was repeated by
all the chief publishing firms as he
tried them one after anotehr.

Then followed a reason that differed
every time. Robert Mason became
inorose; angry with fate, he turned his
attention 10 the work he had secretly
-despised before the failure.
This trial brought out the weakness
OF both natures. Agnes old him that
he ought 10 have made his characters
do this or hat as she had originally
suggested; her husband was annoyed
MS pride was hurt. and he answered
that she knew nothing about 1t.
In less than six months things had

"Oh, how easily things go wrong!'
That Is the opinion OF a poet, and
proofs Of the accuracy of his words are
to be found all about us. The story OF
Robert and Agnes Mason is one OF
these proofs, with its lesson for ali who
care To learn ii.
Can things be righted again? Not
easily, and the poet says that they are
never the same again" yet in some
few cases a quarrel and subsequently,
misery are effaced by the greater hap
-piness-the more solid joy-that fol-
lows. Whether this was so or not in
the case of Robert and Agnes Mason
the following narrative will show.
1t would be difficult to say exactly
when the change began. No two peo-
pie could be more fond of one another
than they when they We're married. and
IF they had overheard the remark of
an elderly woman who saw them leave
h church, they would have laughed
her TO scorn.
Il fear they are a fair weather cou-
pie" she observed, shaking her head
slowly; and they will be happy so
long as trouble keeps from them. Yet,
perhaps, trouble will do them good in
the end
No trouble could share their affec-
tlons for each other, they would have
said, but the change did come. Robert
Mason had been brought up by his
doting father in a manner suited for a
man of large means: he had received
"a public school education and had trav-
eied.
ON attaining his majority he had
vaguely anticipated hat money would
be his, but he learned that his father
had none to give.
John Mason la laYished money on
his son with the idea that his educa-
ton and travelling would so sharpen
him that he would be fitted to lake I'D
ssome line OF work and carve a road TO
fortune for himself The particular
kind of work was left TO circumstance
THE boy would discover what he was
most fitted for" was the fathers con-
ciusion.
Robert tried several things and con-
trived ( oexist with the aid of a small
sum which his father was able to al
dow him, at the end of two years,
when his father died, he was making a
6air living with his pen.
Not having too large a share Of the
