JOYS OF A COLLECTOR.
Picking Up a Valuable Painting at an
 Auction Sale.

Auction Sale.
 Collecting will always have it's TO- mances. I know of one that occurred at the sale at Christie's of the effects of the late Sir Henry Irving. Some one knew had been to see the collec- tion before the sale. He came across q portrait with which he was familiar because he had seen it thirty years before On consulting his catalogue he discovered that the portrait was de scribed as being that of a man un- known, and, further, the artist was also unknown. Now, he knew that the portrait was that of famous actor by a famous English painter. He longed to buy it, but decided that 1t would go at too high price He went to the auction with very little hope. The Whistler and the Sargent were sold, and then it was the turn of this picture. Nobody recognized it. Finally he had to start the bidding himself. and this he did. Only one man bid against him, but he soon stopped, discouraged, and then the picture was knocked down to the man who had never expected to get it. He hurried to the desk to pay the small amount and to carry off his prize. Do you happen to know any thing about that portrait?' the auc- tioneer asked him as a porter took it down to a cab Il know it very we'll said the new owner, conscious that 1t was now safely his property. "It is q portrait of Blackstone, the actor, by Daniel Maclise. There is an engraving of it in the Maclise portrait gallery. Mrs. John Lane in Pearson's Magazine.

 'Is that the end?" asked Kitty, rest lessly.
 'I don't know" said I, taking her hand again. Tell me, Kit--is it the end? Did Honesty love him as he the man so learnedly ignorant and un- worthy-loved her? Was the castle ever built up again?'
 If he loved her." commenced Kitty, uncertainty, If, with all his strength. he truly loved her think the castle never fell down. I think that the man in the Haven went out of it, and walked in Honesty's garden; that af- ter a while-oh, very, very long while-he began to understand that when two people see alike they some times view the Happy Country, where in there are castles and rose gardens for everyone. think"-and her dear voice trembled-"that, perhaps, he had never seemed sincere. How could she tell?"
 She understood roses" protested. And roses have-hearts."
 Kitty gave that dear little shrug of her shoulders which I knew so we'll; but this time I had her fingers fast, and she could not get away. Perhaps 1t was mean of me to permit her no chance of escape-but some good fairy whispered that this was the great hour of my life. spoke as bravely as might. though felt that the words were awkward-not such as one would have chosen: You are the world to me, Kit-don't you know it. dear? You must know it-love is not always blind. I see you, and you al- ways. in that little mirror in my heart"
 She lifted her glance to mine then, an earnest gaze. In her dearest eyes I saw myself plainly; and triumph swept through my soul.

AN EXTINCT ANIMAL.

The saber Toothed Tiger Was For.
 midabie Creature.
 The most remarkable of all the ex. tinct feline animals are those known to naturalists as the saber toothed cats or tigers, group comprising the greater part of all the fossil forms. They date back to the earliest times of which we know anything about the family in North America and reach down to the time of man himself. A large and powerful species described from the Indian Territory by Cope lived contemporaneously with the hairy mammoth, as evidenced by the commingling of their skeletons. There can be little or no question but that the hairy mammoth was contempora- neous with man in North America as well as in Europe. Its geological range is from the close of the eocene to the latter part of the pleistocene.
 The chief peculiarity of the animal is the extraordinary elongated canine teeth. The tail is of unusual length and the legs are short. The animal measures about seven feet in length aside from the tail. The lower jaws have a downward projection in front, due to a fangelike widening of the jawbones, which doubtless served as protection to the teeth, preventing their injury or loss. In some of the larger forms from South America this fange was not present, while the canine teeth were even more elongated than is the case with this species, attaining length of over six inches and pro- truding far below the jaws when closed

AN ENIGMA IN STONE.

"Nirvana" In the Rock Creek ceme.
 tory at Washington.
 So many things may be said of St. Gaudens-of the traits of his genius, his modesty, his deep sympathy with all who possessed high ideals or who had noble thoughts; of his own noble generosity, his willingness to sacrifice himself for the advancement of art, his keen perception of beautiful char acter, or of fine impulse that often shone for him out of the most con- monplace of lives or of features. One incident of many, says Harper's Week. ly, may not only illustrate him, but help to illumine masterpiece of his which has perplexed some minds that may be worth the enlightening. "Ihe work is the figure of 'Nlrvana' in the Rock Creek cemetery at Washington. St. Gaudens was in Washington in the winter of 1902, making his beauti- full relief of Wayne MacVeagh and Mrs. MacVeagh, and HildeGarde Haw- thorne was there, too, and visited more than once that dreaming figure in the cemetery. At last she was moved to write some verses, which she sent to q magazine, but the editor thought that he had seen verses on the sculptor's work that better expressed it's senti- ments, and returned the verses with the stimulating suggestion that some day he would show the young woman some real poetry about the figure. St. Gaudens, too, had seen both poems, and when he heard of this expression of the editors he wrote to him and said that Hildegarde Hawthorne had divined his intention as no writer had done, and therefore the verses are in print. So, if you like, you may solve the riddle by reading them"

STEPS TO
PREVENT
FAMINE

New York, Sept. l6-Leading rail
roads Of the country are back Of a
plan to put rigid boycott on nm
scrupulous lines which borrow and
keep cars for their own use, thus
bringing on a car famine and causing
the entire country to suffer incon-
venience and heavy loss. These
offenders will be denied the use of
any cars, whatever by the roads in
the compact which comprises more
than 50 per cent of the mileage of the
country.
The plan is drastic and may come
into contact with the law, but 1t is
understood that the authorities will
look the other way while the rail
roads are discipling the inscriptions
in the interests Of the entire country.
