Herbeck read slowly and carefully.
Then he rose and walked to the nearest
window, studying the letter again in the

royal gardens. He remained in TINS atu-

Due to your interchangeable efforts alone.
All, Herbeck. nothing will ever fill up the

GONE interesting paintings Of the
- modern Dutch school are to be seen
at present in the V. G.. Fischer galleries.
There are three Dutch interiors by kever
and one by Pieters. little marine by
Weissenbruch, two sheep pictures by Van
der Weele and quite number of land
scapes by de Boch, all of which are pc
culiarly attractive. There is something
very appealing in the works of the Dutch
painters, something very human. sympa-
thetic and tender. And at the same time
theirs is very good art. Though figures
are invariably introduced in the interiors,
the literary interest never gains prece
dent over the art quality 1t is not the
