A PICTURE.
Why the Change Did Not Please the

why the Shahge Dld NOT PleaSe the
Original Artist.
An artist was talking about the noted
German painter Adolf Won Mcneil.

clearest and most distinct of pictures.
Everything with him was worked out
to the last hair. Notaing was eve sug-
gested. With suggested, sketchy, i'm
pressionistic pictures be had no sym

Of Germany.
'In n discussion of a certain impress
sionists vague, unintelligible work I
once heard Won Mcneil say;
"'This man Markheim sold to the
Countess X. two years ago one of his
landscapes. The countess after she had
had the landscape a few weeks tired of
1t, and TO another artist who dined
with her one night size sail:
"'"I think the new r ,cture that Herr
Markheim sold M lacks animation. 1t
needs life in it. Woald yog. be willing
to paint for me a MAJ or woman on
that road that runs through the mid
dle?"
"'"Why, surely. madam said the
second painter. Ana he took the pie
ture home with HIN, made the addition
and returned it tie II Xt morning.
Later, meetilg Markheim, he said:
"'"I had the audacity to alter a
landscape Of yours The other day. 1t
was the landscape yoI sold the Count
ess y. She wanted 4 figure in it, and
to oblige her l painted an old peasant
walking Down the road"
"'Markheim frownod.
"''"The road?" he sad. The road?
I don't remember any road in that pic
turc."
"'"Oh, yes, there is a road" said
the other.
"'"I can't recall It," said Markheim.
"'Finally, to settle the matter, they
went to the house of the countess and
stood before the picture.
There" said Markheim's brother
artist-"there is your road, and there is
my old peasant walking down it."
Fool" Markheim cried, what
have you done? That is not a road In
the center Of my work. 1t is a riv-

Black bottles for wine were intro
duced about a hundred and fifty years
ago. Lord Delaval, an English peer,
brought ver a number of Hanoverian
blowers and started works at Sutton
Sluice, in Northumberland. His main
idea was to utilize a Of inferior
coal on his estate. AT first the black
color was due TO the material used In
making the glass, but afterward the
public became SO habituated to the as

The purser came hurriedly from the
cabin, a telegram In his hand.
Helene yorga?'
She opened 1t slowly. The message
was brief. Colford caught the paper
as 1t iuttered from her hand. 1t was
from a city hospital and merely stated
that josef Vorga, physician, had died
six months previously.
There is no one else" she said help
lessly.
Colford led her to the cabin.
"There Is one other-you forget" he
told her. Let me be the one, Helene"
She waited where he left her, tear
less, helpless, yet with the quaint dig
nifty that seemed to Unfold her like q
magic cloak of separation from the
world. 1t was half al hour before Col
ford returned. There was a new look
on his face as he bent over her, a look
of protection and determination.
Dear heart, this glorious land of the
free refuses to let a little foreign maid
en- all forlorn on It's shores. You are a
waif, sweetheart, a friendless, penni-
less waif, according to the officials
downstairs, and as such they propose
In a friendly, courteous way to ship
you over TO Ellis island as an unwel-
come immigrant and deport you to
Austria on the first steamer sailing"
She smiled for the first time, a faint
ghost of a smile, though her eyes were
filled with tears.
1T Is terrible, / know" she said.
He took her hands In his. THE land
of the free is willing to allow q girl i'm
migrant TO enter provided some one
marries her. Helene, it's Ellis island
or me. Can you choose, sweetheart"
The steward came up the stairs, saw
the two figures and vanished. Out on
the river a tug whistled shrllly.

Colford raised the hand he held to
his lips.

they cannot possibly be alone. They

A faint color rose slowly to her

When the steamer swung from the
Hudson into its slip ON West street,
Colford sought her for the last time.
The rest of the passengers crowded the
bow Of the boat, half crazy with joy,
as they recognized friends and rela-
tives on the pier, but the girl in black
stood aft, looking back at the sunilt
