Act well your part.

Our happiness in this life de-
ponds not so much on circumstan-
ces and surroundings as in our de-
termined efforts to do our best ir
all conditions in which we a. ..e
placed. Our common heritage is
more or less allied to sorrow and
pain, but we have within OF lr' selves
the antidote-the sunsh; me. of the
heart that will alleviate, if not re-
move many of our troubl es. But
we persistently reject the means
Of happiness that lie within our
reach, by Ignoring present small
pleasures in hopes of enjoying
greater ones in the future good
time coming. which always keeps
just ahead and is unattainable.
We cultivate little cares till they
sometimes attain enormous
growth by constantly dwelling on
them and dolefully rehearsing
them to our friends when we
should do our best to rise above
them. In the most difficult and
trying conditions there will often
be brighter side.

Was he, after all, the braggart who

turned.

He worked fiercely, and threw into
his work such fire and energy that it

ness of stroke and an almost savage
vigor of drawing. The instructor
nodded his head over the easel, and
passed on to the next student without
having left the defacing mark of his
relentless crayon. To the next pupil,
he said:
Watch the way that man South
draws. He's not clever He's elemen-
tally sincere, and, If he goes on, the
first thing you know he will be por-
trait painter. He won't merely draw
eyes and lips and noses, but character

And Samson met every gaze with
smoldering savagery, searching for
some one who might be laughing at
him openly, or even covertly, instead
of behind his back. The long-suffer-

for his protege. He discussed thu

began to promote in the boy an inter

despite the rifeman's inherent con
tempt for shotguns.
Il reckon I'd like it, all right" he
! said. and III bring back some ducks
If I'm lucky"
So, Lescott arranged the outfit, and
Samson awaited the news of the com.
ing flights.
That same evening, Farbish dropped
into the studio, explaining that he had
been buying a picture at Collasso's.
and had taken the opportunity to stop
by and hand Samson a visitors card
to the Kenmore club. He found the
ground of interest fallow, and artfully
sowed it with well-chosen anecdotes
calculated to stimulate enthusiasm.
On leaving the studio, he paused to
say:
I'll let you know when conditions
are just right" Then, he added, as
though in afterthought: "And I'll ar
range so that you won't run up on
Wilfred Horton"
Whats the matter with Wilfred
CURLY.
Nothing at ALL replied Farbish,
with entire gravity. Personally,
like Horton immensely. / simply
thought you might find things more
congenial when he wasn't among
those present"
Samson was puzzled, but he did not
fancy hearing from this mans lips
criticisms upon friends of his friends.
We'll, l reckon" he said, coolly,
I'D like him, too"
Il beg your pardon" said the other.
81 suppose you knew, or | shouldn't
have mentioned the subject. / seem
to have said too much"
See here, Mr.. Farbsh," Samson
spoke quietly, but irnperatively; IF
you know any reason why l shouldn't
meet Mr. Wilfred Horton, want you
to tell me what it is. He is a friend
of my friends. You say you've said
too much. l reckon you've either
said too much, or too little"
Then, very insidiously and artistical-
ly, seeming all the while reluctant and
apologize, the visitor proceeded to
plant in Samson's mind an exagger-
ated and untrue picture of Horizons
contempt for him and of Horizons re-
sentiment at the favor shown him by
the Lescotts.
Samson heard him out with a face
systematically set, and his voice was
soft, as he said simply at the end:
I'm obliged to you"
Samson did not appear at the Les
colt house for two weeks after that.
He had begun to think that, IL his
going there gave embarrassment to
