moment his sunny good looks.
''Well my dear fellow, what is she, then? l III
you secret you are hugging to yourself, Mele
kin-you are in love with Honoria,'' Stenton
laughed teasingly.
''Bosh! And if L ami" cried Melekin note
of challenge in his voice. He looked at his friend
questiOningly.
''You don t mean anything serious, Guy-you
can't. Think of your peOple-refect on their dis
gust at being asked to welcome model as the
future Mrs. Guy Melekin-its ludicrous! The
first of June is working havoc with more than one
brain, it seems, - said Stenton, trife sarcasti-
cally
''Oh, that eternal caste! 1 suppose my handi-
work is all that 1 am ever likely to possess of
Honoria!'' Guy Melekin muttered bitterly, and his
eyes flashed angrily at Stenton, who working
steadily, all unconscious of the raging storm be-
side him.
''What a glorious day indeed" sighed Chris

to other dreams; no sane man ever clings to an
impossible intangible e.

Melekin passed his hand his brow. He
looked out to the rose hedges and to the garden
gate, for he knew that HonOria always came that
way.

A Rapid-Eire Painter.

Charles Battell Loomis, writing in Suc-
 cess Magazine, thus describes the opera
 tions of Diehl the high-speed painter of
 America.
 He fixed a canvas in place on his up-
 right machine-easel, and proceeded to lay on a coat of the kind of blue that is in the sky when you wonder whether Italy
 can show anything finer. This did not
 take minute and as for putting in the
 horizon line with a suggestion of a mel low softness where the world stopped and the sky began, why do not think 1t took
 more than 30 seconds.
 An interesting background of foreground Qo make use of convenient paradoD and his whole canvas was covered, and 1 he was ready really to begin his picture. What did l say of Italy? That blue sky
 was an Italian sky after all, for while
 sat agape, an Italian craft with colored sails fell off his pliant brush, and the fore
 ground, which had looked like mown field, turned as if by magic to water Some other vessels danced upon the uHdu-
 lant waves. and at last the thing that
 would mark 1t Italian to the most stay at-home picture buyer who ever lived. a black gondola, popped into sight Tn tho immediate foreground.
 He did not forget to plant few of
 those gaily colored poles that seem to in- fest Italian waters-and the thing was done N Time: twenty-three minutes. Result: A little work of art. Signature: "Roversf' (we will say), and the canvas was taken from its easel as calmly as a man removes a piece of toast from a plate, set against the wall to join long row of canvases of the same eize, and then another was put on the easel, screwed into place and this man Diehi' sat down to his second.

This novel was intended by Dickens to do for the monstrous delays and stupidi- ties of chancery law what he did in "Nicholas Nic1leby" for the abuse of private schools when he depicted their type in Dotheboys hall. In the latter case he succeeded, for the Yorkshire schools went out of existence as If swept away by a broom. But the manufacture of legal red tape survived the brilliant arraignment in Bleak House. and civil law still gives. as Dickens said then, ito moneyed might the means abundantly to wear out the right" while the 'madman from Shropshire" and crazy little Miss Elite have their counterparts today in all lands In the wrecks worn out by the laws delays.

eyron's Bride Of Abydos.

II is Just 100 years ago that Lord
Byron arrived in Greece, where he
wrote that beautiful poem, THE Bride
of Abydos," and that exquisite song,
the Maid of Athens" which, says a
Paris contempt ocy, every English
man of culture knows by heart.
Documents enable us TO establish
the true identity of the heroine OF
this last poem. She was one of the
three daughters of Mr. Black, English
vice-consul at Athens, at whose house
Byron for some time lived. After the
departure of the poet, Theresa Black
married an archaeologist. M. Pittakis,
whose widow she became several
years later. Her beauty, her charm,
her elegance conquered every heart,
including Byrons. In 1873 the heroine
of the poem was an old woman of
upright figure and still showing signs
of her former beauty. With age had
come poverty The Times. moved by
her distress, opened at this epoch a
subscription in her favor. She died
in 1875.

until night she threw erasers and
books at her teachers and at the other
children, she broke every rule and
was a problem. When | visited her
home | found Mary was the little
drudge, doing all the work and caring
for the sick mother. We found work
for the boys out of work, sent the lit
tie ones to kindergarten and moved
the family into a new locality. Mary's
new teachers were willing to help
make new girl of her. One morning
when | visited her school Mary came
to me and whispered: Miss B, want
to tell you something all by yourself
where no one can hear us. 1t is some
thing you must not tell anyone
took Mary off by herself and she
looked at me with an expression
shall not soon forget and said: Miss
b.. love music Here was the gold
en- key which would unlock Mary s
stubborn little heart. ! took her to a
music teacher, who promised to train
her voice as soon as Mary is old
enough, and in the meantime happy
little girl trudges to a piano teacher

care for her body and her voice SO
that she may some day become a real
