THE Ian DSCAPE.

A young artist bent over an easel
in the Metropolitan museum of art,
copying landscape painting. Wis.,
itors. stopped to look at his work,
wondering how, at the touch of a
tiny brush, a pale canvas was TAX
ing on purple hues of sunset. Their
curiosity satisfied, they would pass
on, making room for others.
But one visitor, a pale faced
young woman, remained throughout
the change of groups. She stood
immovable as the Venus de Milo on
the floor below; now gazing at the
artist, now casting a lingering
glance at the painting he was copy
ing.
Then sturdy young man entered
the room and began listless re-
view of the pictures along the
walls. When his eyes fell on that
landscape he approached it with
rapid strides, and stopped before it
as if he had come in collision with
something. He looked at it with
rapture, his chest rising high and
falling rapidly; his face, however,
immobile, betrayed changing emo
tons. He did not look around, he
did not see the artist, he was even
unconscious of himself-a statue
absorbed in painting.
But the woman at length turned
her head; and, as if by force of
magnetism, his eyes were at the
same moment DETECTED from the
painting and met hers. Recognition
flashed up in both faces; but they
approached each other staggering,
and in the strange tremulo with
which each spoke the others name
there lay hidden words of pain and
delight.

tired across the room, have we

Instead of giving her his hand,
he grasped hers, and pressed it
with the grip of overlooking love.
