CHAPTER XIII.
Faded Roses.

I was in the house for a week. Much
OF that time / spent In composing and
destroying letters Of thanks to Miss
West, and in growing at the doctor.
Mcknight dropped in daily, but he was
less cheerful than usual. Now and then
caught him eying me as II he had
something to say, but whatever it was
he kept 1t to himself. Once during the
week he went to Baltimore and saw the
woman In the hospital there. From the
description had little difficulty In recog-
nizing the young woman who had been
with the murdered man in Pfttsburg.
But she was still unconscious. An eld-
erly aunt had appeared. gaunt person
in black, who sat around like buzzard
on a fence. according to Mcknight and
wept. in a mixed figure, into q damp
handkerchief.
On the last day Of my Imprisonment
he stopped in to thrash out case that
was coming up in court the next day and
to play a game of double solitaire with
me.

looked little forced.

ingly well adjudged. There is no cOllec-
tor who is infallible. but it would seem
that Mr.. Evans has made less plumbers
than the majority. And what is more, he
has distributed his patronage fmpartiaily
as we'll as judiciously, purchasing of the
younger men, who needed and at the
same time richly merited encouragement.
He has bought largely and generously.
The advancement of American art is his
absorbing interest. his recreation, and he
has undoubtedly done more for the cause
than any other private citizen Through
Mr.. Evans generosity and forethought
the nation now has a collection of Amer
lean paintings of which 1t may we'll be
proud and one which fifty years from
now it would be most difficult to assem-
bic. Doubtless some OF the paintings
may not be up to the standard of the
best, but in what museum is every ex-
hibit faultless? And where else, indeed
will a collection more pleasurable in
character be found? In this season of
gifts here is one which the American
people, and especially the residents of
Washington. may well gratefully ac-
knowledge.
MUCH has been said in derision of

mitted that some Of the sculpture therein
set forth can lay small claim to art in
execution. However occasionally a good
work finds entrance. such, for example.

been given a place between statues Of

NHAX WEYL has quite a collection of
AvA his autumn's work in his studio
now. much of which is very attractive.
Rarely has the foliage been more bril-
liant in coloring than 1t was this past
fall. Never. Mr.. Weyl declares, was it
more paintab;e. Most Of Mr.. Weyrs pic
lures are transcriptions of the country
near Piney branch. not precisely as. he
saw 1t, but with the big facts brought
into a composition.
1t Is Mr.. Weyls custom to begin even
directly from nature. but his pictures are
usually completed in his studio. The
simpler compositions are those which
appeal to him most and which perhaps
he handles most successfully. Views of
the Potomac marshes under gray skies,
broad views of open fields. with perhaps
a group of we'll defined trees in the mid
die distance; the sturdy frank phases OF
nature which possess. despite elemental
bluntness. some poetry and much real
charm. These are the themes Mr.. Weyl
interprets with strong individuality and
obvious sympathy.
THOSE who remember, and there are
doubtless many. the contributions of
