The psychology OF portraiture is Gu
rtous.
Oscar Wilde once wrote q weird,
uncanny story on this subject--if 1t
could be called "subject"-which he
named THE Picture of Dorian Grey
Dorian Grey was young, beautiful,
untainted, white as the first snow
when a great artist put his image on
canvas.
AS Dorian Grey accumulated years,
his face changed from that of radiant
and exquisite youth. OF divine purity,
of that which expressed the fresh and
dewy heart, to that of a voluptuary,
to one given over to the indulgence of
the senses, finally evoluting into a hid
eous blear-eyed roue-shudderable.
unbelievable, gross. bespeaking all
that is lowest in the human animal.
And as his face changed so changed
the face of the portrait until-if the
story is recalled correctly-the paint
ed image reflected all the evil passions
of that of which it was a replica and
became repulsfve thing-from which
people turned away with averted and
Mortified gaze.
Many great painters-Whistler in
instance-have painted portraits of
people which the latter repudiated
when they saw them in completion,
because the layman and the artist see
at a different angle, from opposite
poles, on the hither and neither side
of the footlights.

tiyes on board ran into freight train
of the Southern railway.
Charles Reddy, the negro fireman,
and Engineer Rawls both jumped and
both escaped serious injury, although
the negro was painfully hurt.
The wreck delayed the arrival Of
the officials and the detectives for
some time, and they did not reach the
scene of the robbery until several
hours after it had occurred. The rob-
bers, it is believed, boarded the train
at Hardeeville, as the dispatcher thinks
he saw two suspicious looking char
acters get aboard at that point. He
thinks they got between the two front
coaches and from there made their
way to the tender and to the engine.
Engineer covered"
The train was in charge Of Engineer
J. e. Farris, of Charleston, Conductor
Damon, of Florence, and Fireman Abe
Williams, a negro. Engineer Farris
says, in his report to the officials of
the Atlantic Coast Line here, that as
he was leaving Hardeeville he looked
around and the two men had climbed
into the cab and had him covered with
reVolvers. They ordered him to go
ahead, and after getting just north
Of the switch ordered him to stop.
They made him and his fireman get
down on the ground on the left side
Of the engine. One Of them stood
guard over them while the other look
ed after the others.
Conductor Damon went up to the
engine on the right side and was shot
at by one<of the men and made to go
to the postal car and have the postal
clerks come out, the robbers threaten
ing to blow up the car if they did not
do so.
Ed. Dozier, the colored porter, came
up shortly after this and he was also
held up by the robbers. The engineer
and the postal clerks were put on the
engine and Farris was made to pull
ahead short distance with the postal
car. The clerks were then made to
put all the registered mail into bags.
A large, stout man appeared to be the
leader.
