An Awkward
Situation

BY JAMES OLIVER

Copyright 1915 by W. G. Chapmsn.)
"Ha! Very capable work. What 10
that name in the corners" inquired st.
Clair. the famous painter, inspecting
the work curiously with his short
sighted eyes.
"Rennie. Mr.. st. Clair"
"Rennie? I never heard Of him. But
he'll make his mark some day, IL he
keeps on like that"
It was at the annual exhibition Of
the Amateurs club. Rennie had been
painting for 1--WE miserable years. His
works had gone to the Fifth avenue
dealers. and brought him Just enough
to keep him from starvation. Patient,
loving Muriel, in their home town,
might have to wait indefinitely before
he could send for her to be married.
For three years Rennie had exhib-
tied At the club, but never before had
his painting even been noticed. This
year st. Clair, kindly old man, had &C.
cepted an invitation to attend. His
words filed Rennie, who was waiting
near. with Joy. st. Clair had noticed
the worth of his work. A word from
st. Clair would make him famous.
The next day he carried his picture
back to his garnet. And he sat down
and thought over the scheme that had
been Matching in his brain.
He was desperate. Things had been
going worse than ever with him. Mu.
riel. faithful as she was, had begun to
grow impatient. She wanted to come
to him. to share his poverty, she said
1t was the letter of q lonely girl, be-
ginning to doubt her lovers loyalty.
For the first time she had begun to
doubt-Rennie could read that be-
tween the lines.
He would take his picture to st.
ClAir-not the one the famous painter
had praised, but his masterpiece of
the wild horses. over which he had
spent five months. 1t was unsigned,
1t was unfinished-only he knew that
he had managed to catch the vital

not but praise it. He had heard OF.
travagant reports Of his generosity to
struggling artists. A word from him,
and fame would be his, and money,
and Muriel.
Filled with the inspiration. he gath
cred his big picture under his arm and
hurried through the streets to the
painters studio on Madison avenue.
But when he reached 1t he saw that
st. Clair was holding some sort of
reception. People were focking in
and out, women fashionably dressed
and men attired In silk hats and frock
coats.
Rennie stood upon the sidewalk In
indecision, holding his picture. He
knew that II he turned back he would
never gather courage to repeat his ex-
plot. Emboldened by his need, he On.

crowd Of guests. was st. Clair.
The old man appeared to take in the
situation at q glance, for he came up
to Rennie and held out both his hands
cordially.
Won't you come into my studio?"
he inquired, and. dismissing his
guests for the moment with his court
ly manner, he led the way into the
elevator. which ran swiftly up to the
top Of the house, where it stopped in
front of an open door.
Now, sir?" inquired st. Clair.
blandly. yet looking keenly upon his
guest
MI. st. Clair" the young man burst
out fmpetuously, you were kind
enough to praise my picture, Lantern
Light at the Amateurs club yester-
day"
Indeed, l remember It very well,
MINI. Rennie," said the old man.
Then Rennie was amazed at the tor
rent Of words that flowed from his
lips. He told him everything, about
his desperate struggle. even about Mu-
riel, and ended by saying how a few
words OF praise from him would make
his fortune. And | have brought you
my masterpiece" he ended naively.
St. Clair was much moved. He laid
his hands In q fatherly manner on
Rennie's shoulders.

The ladybird Beetle,

A female ladybird beetle becomes
grandmother to seventy-five billions or
her kind in six months. She lays her
eggs on the melon vines. and the whit

Miss Victoria Dallemand, handsome,
but naughty because purse-proud
and intolerant, turned from the driver
Of the big van that contained q part
of the furniture of the house of Dial.
lemand.
She noted that pair Of clear. intel
ligent eyes showed from under the
soiled and creased sombrero worn by
the driver and his manner was that Of
cultured gentleman. Still, his vo-
cation was humble, his clothing rough,
his present position on q par with the
family coachman.
viii you kindly tell the men with
the second van to take the hill road
when the conveyance arrives?" he had
asked courteously.
Miss Dallemand bestowed upon him
a chilling stare. A slight smile passed
over the face Of the young man. It
was so enigmatical, and withal so sus-
ceptible of fine gradations OF analysis
that the companion of the exclusive
Miss Dallemand was influenced to pay
attention to him. She was only Lucia
Parr poor and an orphan, but a IA

the autocratic action of her friend. It
was so simple and natural a task to
answer civilly, and she said impulsive-
ly:

Thank you," and the keen, mirth-

ent companions called Wharton"
flashed her signal OF appreciation,
and of admiration, too, that caused
Lucia to flush deeply.

Il fancied the young man was very
courteous, and-handsome," added Lu.
cha, with twinkle in her eye, and
she made good her promise when the
second van arrived.
The Dallemands were about to take
up summer quarters at Haven Cove
where they had sumptuous home
near Clear Water lake. 1t was their
custom each year to do this. In the
absence of her father and mother,
Miss Dallemand had assumed charge
of affairs. She had sent to the town,
as was usual, to secure a moving
crew, and the first van. carrying the
piano, some book cases and other spe.

plished driver. he showed that in the
way he managed the team. but his
two helpers were unruly comrades
Armed with several bottles, they
threw themselves upon a heap Of mat
tresses piled in one corner Of the
great wagon and ordered Wharton to
give them the word when they
reached destination.

ton, just after dark.
1t had begun to rain, as 1t had rained

they had to secure the services of two

They reached the point of land at
the extreme end of which the Dial.

in the evening. Wharton had planned
to reach the place by four o'clock in
the afternoon. Tho horses were well
nigh exhausted. Across a narrow
neck of ground that was swampy and
flooded they Just managed to plod

Made Point for. Defense.

OF Sir Thomas Egerton, who was
gifted with quick perception, this story
is told: "A poor woman had been in.
trusted with the care of a large sum
Of money by three farmers, who told
her to keep it safely until they ap.
peared together to claim it. Shortly
afterward one Of them went to her
and, representing that he came at the
direction of the other two, he received
the money and forthwith disappeared.
The other two brought action to re-
cover the whole deposit. Egerton hap.
.pened to be in court during the trial,
in which an intimate friend defended
the. woman. Seeing that the case was
going against his friend, Egerton vol
,unteered to speak as amicus curiae.
Permission was granted. Emphasize
ing the condition on which the money
was left in the woman's care, Eyer
ton said: 1T is clear that the plain
tiffs cannot recover, because it is to
the three appearing together that the
defendant agreed to deliver the money.
Where is the third? Let him be pro-
duced." Thus Egerton saved the day
for his friend.
