Without answer Franz arose and
advanced to green curtain that
hung at one end of the room and
was revealed to his friend the beau
tiful statue it concealed. Rodolph
could not restrain an exclamation of
wonder and admiration. The figure
was exquisitely tinted with the col
ors of life and was fine copy of
the Venus di Medicis, with her round
ed limbs flushed with the hue of life
and her very hair tinged with paly
gold, and more than all the chisel of
the artist had lent an expression of
timid and maidenly tenderness to
the features, so inexpensive in the

Several days later the door of
Franz's studio was suddenly burst
| open and Rodolph appeared on the
threshold. Franz, Franz" he cried.
Leave your statue and look upon
the living beauty of which you have
so long dreamed"
A young girl appeared. 1t needed
but glance to reveal the rare per
fection of her beauty. Her COM
plexion was creamy pale and her
large eyes were black and brilliant
as those of gazelle, but it was her
faultless form, fully displayed by the
tight fitting velvet bodice and short
peasant skirt, that expressed the
greatest beauty

Franz gazed in astonishment, Sud

ever there existed a woman with the
peculiarly shaped brow and head of
the Venus di Medicis that woman
would of necessity be an idiot" The
strange looks and actions of the
young girl were explained. Shudder-

face with his hands.

Franz turned toward the statue of

sad Result of Friends Device to
Save Sculptor From Madness.

Enterprise Association.)

-
1t was a cloudless morning in May;
the sunshine streamed bright and
beautiful into the Ufigi palace at
Florence, touching with molten gold
the rosy limbs of Titians Venus,
lighting the face of the st. John of
Raphael, and even lending something
of the warmth and hue of life to the
form of the Venus di Medicis.
Before the last named stood a
young man in an attitude of rapture
and GREATNESS alteration, apparently
oblivious to all that was passing
around him. He was singularly hand
some, but almost too delicate and
effeminate looking for manly beauty.
In the glance which he fixed upon
the beautiful statue before him might
be read more than a sculptor's ad-
miration of triumph of his art. The
alteration of a lover or the worship
of votary might fifty have inspired
the wrapt and passionate tenderness
that shone in his eyes
Suddenly a hand was laid upon his
arm and a laughing voice exclaimed,
why Franz, man, not dreaming here
again? 1 shall soon be half inclined
to side with Johann and Otto and
believe you mad indeed"
The young man started and pass
ing his hand over his eyes turned to
the newcomer with a faint and mel
ancholy smile.
Rodolph Meyer, the intimate friend
and companion of Frame Walden,
was, as is often seen in such cases,
his exact opposite both mentally and
physically. Placing his hand in that
of Franz the young man drew his
friend toward the door, saying: Nay,
you must come" not needing the
expression of reluctance from the
other. You have managed to avoid
me for the past two months so that
/ am glad to get chance of speak
ing to you. So come, / will walk
with you to your studio and see what
