Strange Diagnosis Of a Prospec-

BEAUTY IN AMERICAN CITIES
Field for Artists Has az Yet Scarcely

In Scribner's.

AS l wandered about the streets
and the parks, studying them under
the constantly shifting and kaleidos-
copic effects which are peculiar to our
changeable climate cit might be at
twilight, with the lights reflected In
long streamers from the wet pave
ments, or perhaps twinkling through
a blur of snow-on rainy days. at
night, or during the Indian summer
days, when the tall skyscrapers show
ed only as towering ghosts through
the universal purple haze) l came
gradually to perceive that here was
another kind of beautiful which, how.

and more fascinated with this strange
new loveiness. And now, after thirty
years. have come to hold New York
the most beautiful city in the world!
Not Paris, nor London, nor Rome, nor
Antwerp can, In my opinion, compare
with it. either in color or effect, or In
the unexpected character and beauty
Of its piled-up buildings. Even the ad-
mitted charm of Venice becomes
somewhat petty by comparison; for
mere picturesqueness does not neces-
sarily connote beauty, and scene
which will make an excellent picture

excellent picture.
| soon found that what was true OF
New York city was equally true OF
our American landscape in general.
The quality of its beauty differed Who'll
ly from that of northern Europe, but

infinitely more varied than they are

personal expression in art.
Finally 1t can safely be stated that
the field has as yet scarcely been pros
pected. Between Quebec and New

Attractive Rural Homes.

Cities have no monopoly in pretty
homes, nor should have, for 1t is
much easier to garden or embellish
successfully in the country. Every
rural home should be attractive. or
course. paint and neat, classy build
ings and fences have much to do with
it, but without these one may have
much of beauty. Vines work wonders
In hiding ugly structures. harshness
of architecture and lack of paint. The
chief outside attractions of my place
should be trees, shrubs, and Towering
plants, either in city or country In
rural communities we do not so much
notice the architecture as the sur
roundings, for the latter speak for
the character of the inmates.

almost unstrung him.
"Come right in, sir" he said cheer
fully, and Bannon followed him into
his cozy office at the back of the

DR.. O'Keefe arose again and placed
a fatherly hand upon the young mans

write to her that you have changed
your mind, and do not want to see
her again"
"Why?" said Bannon. feeling his
heart leap and then flutter wildly.
Because you can't live three

So the days crept on; the week
went round the second began, and
ran to it's close. He had now from
three to nine days to live. Yet the
pain seemed an insignificant thing,
certainly no worse. 1t was mere
headache-surely OKeefe was wrong!
Sometimes he could not feel it at all.
And yet, under the cap of the skull
that deadly wasting was continuing,
lick Then it would reach it and he
would drop-he would just cease to
breathe. The thought of Marian be-
reft turned him sick at night.
Dearest, what did the doctor say"
she asked. And he put her off with
tirely hide his feais from her, and
she watched him with increasing con-
cern.
The third week ended. The twenty
second day went by. On the next
Bannon felt better than he had felt
and he still lived. He resolved to
have his jest with the doctor. On
the evening Of the twenty-third day
he went to his house. This time the
sitting room was filled. But, hear
ing voices in the hall, he peered out,
and saw O'Keefe talking with mid
dle-aged, bespectacled, bearded pa
tient, and, suddenly forgetful of the
others who should have preceded him,
he ran into the hall
We'll, doctor. you're wrong" he
cried to O'Keefe. You gave me
not less than II days to live, and
not more than 23, and the time limit
expired this afternoon. You'd better
make another diagnosis
viii you have the goodness to wait
your turn. sir, and sit in the reception
room?" asked the bearded man Sc
verely.
will you be so kind as to mind
your own business. sir?" returned
Bannon. nettled MY business is with
this gentleman here"
The younger man turned round.
II have never, to my knowledge, had
any business with you, sir" he said,
"Oh, yes, doctor" answered Ban
non. Twenty three days and five
hours ago you set time limit upon
my life, and here l am alive all the
same"
The bearded man was smiling now
"a cynical, mocking. yet human
smile. Il think that begin to under
stand" he said. Good bye Philip.
You're certainly cured now" He
turned to Bannon. Wont you come
in, sir?" he asked courteously. Il
am Doctor O'Keefe.'
YOU" stammered Bannon. why,
that gentleman is Doctor O'Keefe.
He examined me three weeks ago
and told me had atrophy of Gurlck's

The other clapped him on the back
and laughed noisily. Poor fellow

yes he must just have been reading
of that in the Medical Record, but
1t is disease that only affects sheep

tinued thoughtfully, how many other
people Philip has scared. Did he
charge you anything?'
Ten dollars" Bannon replied.
"Ah!" said the other, that's rsry
