'.'-." " ' "ROXANSA MAtHEIt." Roy bad crushed this letter in his hand. and walked on with the feeling that he had nothing more to hope or expect in this world. ' He had, in fact, been work ing against hope for tho last month, with a cold, despairing feeling settling down about his heart. He was one of the com petitors fur a prize, but each day he passed his brush over the day's work with an angry vehemence, obliterating his failures. ' ' "I am a gigantic mistake," he said to himself gloomily. "There's nothing left for me but to go back to the button fac tory. There's nothing .In me. 1 can't get up tbe ghost of a conception for a picture. - My figures look as if cut out of pasteboard, my skies are like Aunt Rox anna's bluing, my. rocks are pasty. Ueigbo!

' A "fierce "sacro" came from the ad vancing foe, but tho next moment it was changed to a greeting. A stttlow faced, dark eyed gentleman in black stopped suddenly, and then said: ; ; " - : .' "It is Monsieur Mather, eh? Ah! you come, 1 suppose, from youn friend ah I the poor young man cut down like a flower" - ... , .. "What do you meant" cried Roy, reo- nizing a fellow student. Is it : that you atk me? Why. : I thought it was with you,' Damon,, and i what you call the other?" "Hover miudl What is the matter with Lang?" . . "Oh! ho is dying, that is all!". Roy turned away and walked rapidly. Ho had been so occupied with his work, having a studio of his own now, that he had hardly thought of Lang for three weeks, and his conscience smote him. 1 But certainly Mather could not be so desperate, or his friend would have let him know. v ,. He made his way np the dim stairway, meeting no one. When he pushed open the door of Lung's room there was no light or any sound save a half smothered moan from the bed.' - f ; ' He found a match after awhile and lit a candle. Then be called his friend by name, but there was no answer. He took the light in hia hand. A hor rible fear was Clutching ot his heart as; ho walked toward the bed, for tho moan ing had ceased. And at the first glance it looked as if tbe shadow that lies in wait for all of us had indeed crossed that threshold, and laid a dim hand upon one aching brow. -. Ho is gone, poor fellowl". thouclit Roy, "and no on beeide him to hear bis, last words or to hold hia hand in the hi-; preme moment. Perhaps, though, there may be some faint pulse of life. If I had some stimulants'' - lie bathed the cold face with water first, and then looked about for some thing etronger. In doing, this lie saw an easel, and upon it stretched a finished picture, that even in that faint and Iim light glowed with life and power. There was a tall headland, pine crowned, draped- with dainty ferns. Above it the misty uir seems like amber, the sky is of melting gold, nolo w, the sea, with its emerald light and foam crested waves and flame opals of light. And where the reeds seem to thrill with the wind stands one like a lily qnoen- A miracle of snow nod gold. - It is Miranda on her island. She looks at Roy with fearless, innocent but tender eyes.. ". She lives! It would Irardly seem a miracle if she stepped forth and touched his hand. Ah! this is genius! Hw recog nizes it with a groan. - ' .. . ' 'And tbe man whose cunning hand has done the work is lying there dead 1 It is nothing to him now, that he would have won the prize. What ore earthly laurels to him, who sees tbe amaranth's death less bloom? What are all the triumplia or tne ton to one on whom a new day dawns: jn the land where there shall be no night? , "I must take caro-of this picture," said Roy.

"I will do nil for this friend; but be win not drink the wine I Oh, not the poor youth has entered the habitatone of the blest, and needs not the wine any more now.

It may still win the prize." w i : i ' Roy.' felt as if the voice " came from without, and turned and looked about him.' . He saw the rolled up picturejying on the table, and -thought there could be no harm in taking one more look. He stretched it upon his easel, and gazed at it with envy and delight . i i ' ': "After all, H would harm no one," he thought "I would have done anything for him living. I would not. have de serted him on a barren island or thrown bim to wolves! I would not save my self in any way at his expense. .But now, if I can save, myself without injuring him, why not?" ; j, ; ; ' And then commenced one of those un seen battles on the battle ground of the human 'heart, ; where no banners wave nor trumpet sounds tell of victory no muffled drum of dofeatj but where the destiny of souls are ofttiuies decided, and all fa lost pr won for time and eternity 1 ' So three days passed, and one day, im pelled by an irfesistible force, Roy turned into the street where Lang had , his hum. ble room..

He would have done his duty. But how could he face those ranks of spectators and tell his crime? Ho faltered and fell 'bapk it was too late. He heard a hum of voices. Some one was speaking, Imt lie could not distinguish the Words. Ho did not know till some one pushed him forward, and a voice said in his ears ,,"Look alive, old fellowl It is your .name tliey , are tcalling.

Ihm retrDlentDTrade Revotutkmlaed A .i ' " Cottoo Ralilra S)ea1pn. . r -. . - , Till recently Russia has constituted a little world of Its own and its immense population has not disturbed, the people living In other countries." In' seeking to enlarge its borders' it has bad troubles with other. nations, but otherwise ft- lias' not crossed their track. It has not been a competitor In the great- commercial .maris of the world. It has produced some superior leather and Iron that havo been used for certain purposes, but lately it has been held that articles equally good have bpen made in other countries. It has exported considerable . wheat but . there has been little fear that the amount would be increased. '. It has not seriously injured our market for grain and meat, while it has bought our cotton, tobacco and petroleum. But within the past fou wears Russia has revolutionized tho petroleum trade of the world. . It has established lines for conveying oil from noar the Caspian to the Black sea, and has constructed iron vessels for carrying it In bulk ndt only to all the.leading ports of- western Europe, dui to Africa, xnuiftnnd Australia. The Russians were the first to use crude pe troleum for fuel - on locomotive and stationary ' steam ' boilers, for making illuminating gas for burning brick and earthenware. ! . Recent English papers state that ar rangements have been made for bringing frozen beef, pork, mutton and " poultry from Russia to British "ports during the coming winter, and the belief is expressed that live animals and eggs will soon be brought at. all seasons of the rear. It desirable they can be brought most of the distance by rail or sent all the way by water from ports on the Baltic sea. It is now believed that Immcnso quantities of grain raised in' Siberia will be sent' to England, Franco and Germany from the satno ports. Siberia fa tho largest if not the beat grata territory In tho world. It Is ' capable of supplying . oil western Europe with breadstuffs.' The central and southern portions of it are well adapted for raising wool. The building of tho Transcasplan rail road lias opened up one of the finest cot ton raising regions in the world. ' The soil fa rich nnJ tho climate delightful. Labor there Is cheaper than in Egypt or India. One-half the cotton used in Rus sian mills last year was produced in ; central Asia, and efforts will be madoto produce the entire amount needed within : the next four years. At tho end of that i timo Russia expects to export raw cotton. ' The profits of rawing it in a region where plowing may lw done during most of the year and where no fertilizers are re quired, are enormous. With cars and steamers run by petroleum cotton raised in central Asia may within flvo years be' laid down in Liverpool to compete with Jhat, produced in the United States. The region traversed by this same sys tem of railroads . fa also said to bo won derfully adapted to tho production of fine wool and tobacco. flocks of sheep and goats havo been kept thero and have been the chief sources of wealth.. With good facilities for trans porting their fleeces it fa likely that these flocks will be largely increased, Some state that the tobacco raised in central . , , Warm of m MszJcaa Town.
