ALL OVER IN A WEEK
WILLIAMS STAY IN BOARDING
HOUSE SHORT AND SWEET.
Gave Every Evidence of Being Ex-
perienced 6oarder and His Smart
Sayings and Mannerisms Were
Talk of House.

When young Mr.. Williams came to
our boarding house it was plain to
every one that this was not his first
experience at boarding
In fact, his actions seemed to indi-
cate that he was old and experienced
in the lile OF boarding, and that he
had come to us from some other
boarding house, or possibly from
succession OF them
Ii was shown in the aplomb with
which he assured Mrs. Hicks that he
invariably paid his board on pay day.
and that his pay day came on Satur-
day, Ignoring her somewhat distorted
statement that she insisted on pay in
advance In every case
II was further shown in the way
he skilfully tlipped the covering off
the bed in his hall bedroom and ap
praised the condition of the sheets
with judicial eye, his opinion, good
or bad, being represented by a non
commital grunt
lie was a normal young man. was
MIR Williams He had just the nor
nal amount of baggage His face was
so nearly normal that people he knew
would forget to speak to him. He
was of medium height and weight.
and so far as we could see had but
one suit of clothes, and that an ordi-
nary dusty, brownish gray
His appetite, too. proved normal.
lie had typical boarding house appe-
tite that pushed aside those things 1t
did not want and insisted on double
supply of those It did. II was a dis
eliminating appetite that refused to
accept things the nature OF which did
not appear on the surface
Immediately after supper Mr.. VII.
lams sat on the front steps and re-
garded fellow boarders with specula-
tive eye Being a normal boarder, with
what might be called an abnormal
nerve. he easily decided that Miss
Amy Crothsweight, who was a stenog
rapher In the roller mills office, was
the only one of us worthy Of his at.
tention. And in fifteen minutes he
and Miss Amy went for a walk, head
ing, OF course, toward the drug store
soda fountain. Miss Amy, too, prided
herself upon her dignity
When they came back Mr.. Williams
had some chewing gum. which he
passed about
Next day he was wearing a tie we
recognized as belonging to Mr.. VII.
loughby Mr. Willoughby, when
pressed, admitted that he and Mr..
Williams had become somewhat chum-
my.
Toward the end OF the week Mrs
Hicks was taking an unusual interest
in Mr. Williams She quoted him to
the girls, and would tell the boys how
smart he was
lie was the most ingratiatilg per.
son, was young Mr. Williams, and, as
everybody got to liking him, his say
ings and mannerisms were the talk
OF the house.
On Saturday he did not appear at
the table. Mrs Hicks said he was
called out OF town. He didn't come
back either
His trunk was hauled by Jim, the
porter. to the junk room, and we did
the best we could TO forget him. We
have often wondered II he went
abroad, or was killed by a motor
cycle, but have never learned
It's always that way, for people

Pictures Sold by Million.

An artists lot is not always a hap
py one. The late Holman Hunt strug-
gled for Year, against adverse criti-
cism in his effort to simplify, purify,
and beautify British art. At one time
his poverty was so great that he made
up his mind to emigrate to Canada;
but, fortunately, Millais came to his
brothers rescue. and persuaded him to
go down into Surrey and continue his
work.
1t was here that he painted the
background for his famous picture,
The Light of the World For three
month"; Holman Hunt painted all
night in the open air by the light of
the full moon and a solitary candle,
and during that time he placed upon
the canvas his immortal work. All
over the world Tho Light of the
World" was exhibited, and caused a
grea. sensation. Reproductions sold
in every town and country village. Its
sales up to the present time cannot
tall far short of a million.
The original picture was placed in
he chapel at Oxford, but later the ar
list spent some weeks in repairing the
iamage that had been caused by neg
lect Then he painted larger copy,
which waa hung in St. Paul's cathe-
dral.
The Light of the World is almost.
nut not quite, the most popular re-
lgiouS painting in existence. 1t is
beaten by the wonderful Head of
