But by moonlight how different!
A glamour falls about the crumbled
walls; the jagged outlines soften into
fanctfuI shapes against the green blue
sky: the humbled mansions of the rich,
rising high upon the citys hills, are
laved with silver: while the broken
arches in the distance stand an relief

That's a 1ard-luck story Amadee
Joullin is telling, and there are few
Bohemians of veracity who support at
least a part of it-namely, that the
Sansome- studio behaved very
badly on the 18th, the roof tumbled in,
the stairs executed cachuca while the
artist was trying to descend them. and
that he emerged with several wads Of
plaster upon his person, with Jumps to

But that wasn't the tragedy.

Its cozy-cornered salon-and sat long
and absorbed before painting Of a
desert scene that Joullin had just I'M
ished.
To disturb the studio soliloquy of
capitalists who lead the dual existence
or art patrons is dangerous to COM
merce and direct violation of studio
ethics. So the art patron was left to
himself After a time he spake as fol-
lows: Il like that, Joullin. What do
you want for it?''
The painter named his price.
Here you are, my friend. I have the
money with me-"
And thereat the Capitalist and Art
Patron paid his good red gold into the
palm of the artist.
Into the little desk drawer in the
salon went the gold
At 5:13 next morning came the quake,
and the artist was seized with a haste
He forgot to transfer his good red gold
into his pajama poeket-and he never
saw it more.
