made him as many enemies as
friends.
Strangely enough, he chose quiet,
calm landscapes to paint. He was
attracted to the Catskills, Adiron-
dacks and White mountains, and In
Europe preferred tranquil scenes
along the upper Thames and in Nor
mandy.
Homer Martin seldom painted
direct from nature; but would sketch
in his notebook and jot down color
memoranda. Less surprising, there
fore, than it would seem at first is
the painting of two famous pictures
in 1895, when he was all but blind.

DINNER STORIES

A fellow would-be traveller was
amazed at seeing an Irishman busily
employed poking a five-pound note
through a crack in the boarding
which formed the wayside railway
platform.
What under the sun are you doing
that for?" he asked.
why, y'see," replied the Irishman,
without raising an eye from his work,
"a minute ago OF dropped a penny
through this crack, an now Oi'm

A young woman failed to pass her
examination for appointment as
teacher in the public school of a small
town.
Her mother was terribly disap-
pointed and decided to interview one
of the examiners.

daughter did not pass the examine

about it. You know, madam, that no

A city preacher once drove in a cab
to a village church to preach. Upon
his arrival he was somewhat discon-
certed to find that the congregation
only consisted of one man. Remem-
bering, however, that a we'll known
minister had on one occasion preach
ed to one man and converted him. he
decided to give him the benefit of his
discourse.
AT the close of a long sermon he
shook hands with his CONGREGATION

''Oh, it makes no difference to me +,
was the reply. I'm your cabman'

CHAPTER XVI.
The Echo.

| VA HEN the major entered his ROOM
w Jereboam, his ancient body
servant, was dawdling about putting
things to rights, his scanned visage
under his white wool suggesting a
charred stump beneath a crisp pow
dering of snow. "Jedge Chalmahs
done tellyfoam ter ak yo' ovah ter
GLADDEN. Hall ter suppah ter-night
suh," he said. de jedge low he
gwine git eben wild yo' TO dat las

"Tell him not tonight, Jerry" said
the other YEARLY. Some other time. y
The old darby ruminated as he
plodded down to the DOCTORS tele-
phone. 'Whut de mattah now? He
got dat ar -off-yondah look
ergen." He shook his head fore
bodingly. "Ah heahed he hummin
dat tune when he dress hissef dis
mawnin. Sing befo' yo eat, cry be-
TO yo sleep!'
The major had, indeed, a far-away
look as he sat there, a heavy lonely
figure, that bright morning. 1t had
slipped to his face with the news ot
the arrival at Damory Court. He told
himself that he felt queer.
mockingbird was singing in
tulip-tree outside. and the gray cat
sat on the Window-sill, watching the
| foliage with blinking lust. There was
no breeze and the leaves of the Vir-
ginia creeper that curled about the
sash were trembling with the sensu-
Gus delight of the sunshine. Sudden
| ~ he seemed to hear elfin voices close
to his ear:
(Which was it she loved? Valiant or
| Sassoon?"
1t was so distinct that he started,
vexed and disturbed Really it was
absurd. He would be seeing things
next! "Southall may be right about
| that exercise" he muttered; TN walk
more" He began the projected re-
form without delay, striding up and
down the room. But the little voices
presently sounded again, shouting
| like gnomes inside hill:
(Which was it? Valiant or Sas-
soon?"
"I wish to God l knew!" said the
major roughly, standing still. 1t ST.
fenced them. but the sound of his own
voice, as though it had been a pre-
concerted signal, drew together a
hundred inchoate images of other
days. There was the well-ordered
garden of Damory Court-it rose up,
gloomy with night shadows. across
| his great clothes-press against the
wall-with himself sitting on rus
tic bench smoking and behind him
the candle-lighted library window
with Beauty Valiant pacing up and
down. waiting for daylight. There
was a un-lighted stretch between

in his own way, and he did not get

OF all our great artists the most
" unsuccessful financially was
Homer Dodge Martin. His work was
not popular; he never won any prizes,
and indeed he was long forced to de-
pend for a living on the assistance
of his wife.
Like many other early American
artists, he was self taught. His
father. carpenter in Albany, N. Y,
was not easily persuaded to let the
boy follow up natural talent for
painting. Martin first tried carpen-
tering. shopkeeping and architecture.
In each case his desire to draw pic
lures was too strong for him-board,
paper, blank walls, were decorated
with landscapes-until his employers
found it necessary to discharge the
young artist. At last a sculptor of
