What Came
Of a Sketch
By EDWARD 7. STEWART

ton nAI1 century ago are uihost III
credible. Ryerson paid his expenses
to Italy and lived there a year on
$3.50.
One day when he was eating his
usual dinner Of macaroni-with no en-
trees-in a cheap restaurant, costing
him couple Of cents I'm our money,
man took a seat at table opposite
him, whose appearance seemed to offer
a striking subject for a picture. He
was shabbily dressed, conical hat,
mustache turned up, a pointed beard
was suggestive of Mephistopheles. Ry-
erson asked him II he would object to
his ma king sketch Of him. The man
consented, and the artist, opening a
portfolio he had with him, took out
pencil and paper and went to work.
The model was an Englishman, and
they conversed during the sitting.
Ryerson possessed a gift for catch
ing likenesses, important I'm that day
when there was no cheap way or get
ting them, for Daguerre had only just
invented his process. A sketch was
made that was an excellent reproduc-
ton of the mans features, including
a scar over the right eye. Ryerson re-
GREETED that he could not pay for the
sitting, but the man declared that, be-
Ing poor himself, he could appreciate
the others feelings. However. he ex-
pended a Ira I'm litre of wine, which
he invited Ryerson to share with him.
He seemed, however, to be n nissan
thropic person. and Ryerson Judged
that he had met with some misfor-
tune or had been treated unjustly.
At any rate. his disposition had evil
IDENTIFY been soured. He made an i'm
preston on the artist, and after they
parted Ryerson could not get him out
Of his mind, and the sketch kept the
impression alive.
Ryerson engaged passage to America
by way of Genoa. and while waiting
for the ship to sail put up at hotel
where the guests were mostly English
and Americans. In the reading room
he picked up an English paper and
while scanning 1t his eye caught an
advertisement for information OF Cecil
