A Note On Etching.

Frank Weltenkarlpf in the Century.
We are often told that etching is an
art OF elimination rather thar of addi-
tion. of summary indication rather than
of elaboration, as With Whistler. an art
OF lines, not of masses. True; yet
famous etchers nave also submerged
the individual line in II production of
tones. Take Claude Iorrain. whose
'Cowherd' is n wonderful rendering oe
the atmospheric effect of a late after
noon; or A. Waterio; or Ruysdaei; or
Rembrandt, who in his famous full
length of jar Six and in that synpa-
thetic bit of seif-analysis. Rembrandt
Drawing at a Window has hi: lines ad-
vance III massed formation tn produce
completeness of effect. But their
flow different from the measured, resr-
lar run of the engraved line on copper
and steel. 1t is just this which makes
etching prominently a process for the
artist producing original work. In en-
craving. the BURN. held with its handle
in the palm of the hand. Is pushed along
through the surface of the copper plate.
The result is inevitably formal. L.
etching, the needle plays lightly
through the etching ground on tee COP
per in the manner of a pencil, with q
free. spontaneous result.
The etcher speaks his mind frealy
and directly, provided the mind is
there. Ability to put a drawing on the
coated plate n bite it in the acid bath
is not enough. Technic is only a means
to an end. Technical dextcrity alone
will not answer Ruskin's condition.
'Ihe highest aim of all imaginative art
is tn give noble grounds for noble emo
tons Not all who etch are chosen to
stand among those who justify the pre-
for original, direct expression. Person
atty is essential.

There was a silence, a pause

Don Luis remained undecided
Tor a moment; but how could he
hope that the honest and scrnpu~
lous Mazeroux had disobeyed the
dictates of his conscience?
He replied:
'Sergeant Mazcroux went TO
sleep iii his chairs and did not wake

There was q fresh silence.
which evidently meant:
so, during the two hours when
Sergeant Mazcroux was asleep. it
was physically possible for you to
open the door and kill the two
Fauvilles.f
The examination was taking the
course which Perelna had fore
seen; and the circle was drawing
closer and closer around him. His
adversary was conducting the con
test with a logic and vigor which
he admired without reserve.

Don Luis took Mazeroux by the
arm.
"There's only one way out of

"You silly asst" growled Don
Luis. "How is it possible to be

one with honesty. What am / to
do, then?"
Discover the culprit, chief"
What! What are Won
talking about?"
Mazeroux, in his turn, took him
by the arm and, clutching him
with a sort of a despair, said, in a
voice chOked with tears:
Discover the culprit, chief. If
not, you're done for that's
certain the project told me so.

things than thatl"
He was stammering, weeping,
wringing his hands, grimacing
with every feature of his comic
face. And it was really touching,
this grief, this dismay at the ap-
proach Of the danger that threat
ened his master.
M. Desmalions' voice was heard
in the hall, through the curtain
that closed the passage. A third
motor car stopped on the boule-
ward, and a fourth, both doubtless
laden with policemen.
The house was surrounded, be-
sieged.
Perenna was silent.
Beside him, anxious faced, MAJ
eroux seemed to be imploring him.
A few seconds elapsed.
Then Perenna declared, deliber-
ately:
Looking at things all round,
Alexandra, I admit that you have
seen the position clearly and that
your fears are fully justified. II

Then he opened the door.
Halt, or | fire!"
1t was Mazeroux, who had
scrambled to his feet and now
stood with his revolver in his hand
and a determined expression on
his face.
Don Luis stopped in amazement.
The threat was absolutely indif-
ferent to him, and the barrel of
that revolver aimed at him left
him as cold as could be. But by
what prodigy did Mazeroux, his
former accomplice. his ardent dis
ciple, his devoted servant, by what
prodigy did Mazeroux dare to act.

Pcrenna went up to him and
pressed gently on the detectives
ontstretched arm.

uncomfortably.

Perenna reflected and then. in

The sergeant lowered his head
and said family:
Yes, chief"
Pcrenna looked at him without
anger, with a glance Of affection
ate sympathy and it was an alb
sorbing sight for him to see his
former companion dominated by
such q sense of discipline and.
duty. Nothing was able to prevail
against that sense. not even the
fierce admiration, the almost at
tachment which Mazeroux re-
tanned for his master.
I'm not angry, Mazeroux. In
fact, j approve. Only you must
tell me the reason why the pre-

The detective did not reply, but

incomprchensible tragedy of that
double murder had been enacted.
He did not even bow 10 Don
Luis; and the magistrates who ac-
companied him might have
thought that Don Luis was merely
an assistant OF Sergeant Mazer-
ouN. il the chief detective had not
made it his business la tell them,
I'm a few words, the part played
by the stranger.
NJ. Desmalions briefly examined
1hc two corpses and received Il
rapid explanation from M%azeroux.
Then, returning to the hall, he
went up to a drawing room ON the
first floor, where Mime. Fauville,
who had been informed of his Wis
it, joined him almost at once.
Perenna, who had not stirred
from the passage, slipped into the
hall himself. The servants of the
house. who by this time had
heard of the murder, We're cross
ing it in every direction, He went
down the few stairs leading to a
ground floor landing. on which
the front door opened.
There were two men there. of

The two policemen exchanged

to Silvestre and spoke 10 him.
Silvestrc went toward the dining
room and returned with a horse
shoe roll.
Good" thought Don Luis:
after thanking him. This settles
it. I'm nabbed. That's what I
wanted to know. But M. Desma-
lions is deficient in logic. For, if
it Arsenc Lupin whom he means
to detain here, all these worthy
plain clothesmen are hardly
enough; and, if it's Don Luis Per
emma, they are superfluous, be-
cause the flight of Master Perenna
would deprive Master Perenna of

He resumed his seat in the pass

suing their Investigations. The
