The Eccentric Artists Utter Lack Of

illustrating Wbistler's forgetfulness
and utter lack of business instinct.
Being hard. pressed for a debt and hav7
ing finally been nformed he would be.
sued unless check for the amount
was sent By return post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one Of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had few pounds In the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re-
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required to make his ac-
count good for check of slightly over
500 and to deposit that amount for him
as loan. 81 #
The friend was quite willing and IN
due time stood at the cashiers desk
OF Whistlers bank asking the amount
I, OF his balance and explaining the err
| rand. The cashier was interested. He
went to the big book Of balances, turn
ed over few pages. wrote down some
| figures and in a moment placed them
before the astonished friend. WINS
1 tiers balance was more than $50, 0o0.

difficult to remember when he had de
posted so much money or where he
had got 1t.

Tho Mysterious Passenger.

The captain Of vessel which was
bringing to America in the fall of 1896
a mysterious passenger who had come ONE,
aboard at Hamburg watched the latter
so closely that at last the passenger
said one day: "Sir, this Is not the first
occasion upon which / have observed
the attentive scrutiny YOU bestow up
on me. May / inquire the reason?'
"Sir," responded the candid captain,
.you took passage on my ship as a
Dane. / don't believe you're anything
Of the kind"
The passenger smiled. The smile
was full of perspicacity and confidence
and was followed with, pray tell me,
then. what you believe me to be"
At this question Captain Ewing
fidgeted, hesitated and finally blurted
out: ""'Well, to be honest, I think you
are gambler. You've well nigh
ruined yourself at home and are now
coming to fleece the fools you'll find on
shore" " sS@
The young mans smile broadened
The next minute he turned grave
again, lowered his voice and replied
"Captain Ewing, as you have studied
me during this voyage, so / have
studied you. l have come to the con
clusion that you are a man to be
trusted. I am Louis Philippe, dut
d'Orleans, eldest son of that Louis
Philippe d'Orleans who was slain b:
the guillotine on the 7th Of Novem
Der, almost three years ago."
