CHAPTER VIII.
A Delegation Of Fishermen.

Pilon had at last won the prominence
in the village which he had long desired;
II 1t was only temporary. only by suffer
ance of the more sedate fishermen. who
knew him for what he was. and only be-
cause there was a mystery In his accu-
sation which had not come forward to
remove. IL was none the less degree OF
prominence. The vanity of the man
therefore fed fat. And at last so i'm
patient did he become. so thoroughly did
he believe himself to have inundated
me- so confident did he fee, that he. Pilon.
was the prime mover in this affair. that
he forgot Del Hervalle and conceived the
brilliant notion OF ending all mystery by
taking over the map into his own care.
Thus he would show what manner of man
Pilon was. thus he would reap fresh
likelihood, Pilon had escaped from Bor-
deaux before police hands could reach

little craft caused me to look up.

tention to him continued my work. Deli
cately I drew the paint brush along the
line, paused to examine the result. then

the operation.

color design and craft work by pupils
was held at the Central High School. In
the hall into which the art class rooms
open We're placed charts showing briefly
the scope of the work For the first two
years the art study is compulsory, one
hour a week being devoted to it. In the
last two years. except for candidates for
the normal school, it is elective. In all
four years there are special classes for
those who have special talent and wish
10 give emphasis to art. In both the first
and second years the first semester is
given up to study of form and the sec
ond semester to study OF color. the latter
with special reference to design and to
practical application.
The fact is that all the instruction in
art In the high schools Is now directed
toward the development of taste rather
than the cultivation of rare talent The
students make designs for borders or all
over patterns cut their own wood blocks
and stamp with these their own cushion
covers, curtains and the like. Further
more they design metal desk SETS which
are executed in their own shops They
design and execute fans. small screens,
lamp shades and even the posters that
are used to advertise their own enter
tainments. And these are all done in
frank. professional manner which is
bound to influence In later years selective
practice. Some excellent designs have
been made by these high school pupils.
and the method Of approach to the prob
lem of designing is very commendab'e.
In the early part Of the year naturalistic
flower studies are made from nature;
these are later conventionalized in con-
junction with the stndy OF design. and
then developed as the theory of color is
taken up. Schemes of decoration for
whole rooms were shown as well as de-
signs for separate objects. The cast
drawing by the special students was
good. and the clay modelling interesting
Likewise the quick sketches from draped
life, by which the pupils gain dexterity
with their pencils, were also notable.
Art is language. and those who mas
ter its technique have at their command
an unfailing medium Of expression. 1t
is. moreover. source of infinite pleasure.

The name of Christy Mathewson is
about as well known as any other Amer
lean citizen. He is wonderful performer
in the game that has no equal for popu-
larity and success. and 1t is fitting that
he should present his version OF the
pitching game In manner to be appre-
ciated by the multitude of base ball en-
thusiasts. While the greater part Of the
book Is written from the point of view
of the pitcher, there is much of interest
regarding the inside playing of the game.

Two years ago the author Of this

British publisher for the best novel
submitted in competition. AS proof
that that success was not sporadic
comes this vital rendering OF a love
tale turning upon the great Sepoy re-
bellion. which has been characterized
as "a wind from the devil abroad in
Hindostan." The author sticks very
closely to historic facts. but takes a
few liberties which are entirely justi-
fable for the sake of dramatic unity
and romantic instruction. Her descrip-
ton of scenes at Cawnpore IS realistic
and causes the reader to appreciate
the horror OF that tremendous tragedy.
