Henri. Duval leaned back on the seat and impatiently slapped bis gloves on bis knee, staring' blankly out of the window as the carriage rolled down the broad avenue, gay with equipages and equestrians.: Ordinarily he would have noted each rider's skill and even the clothes he wore and would have had a smile for every woman of his acquaintance, but this morning he was overshadowed by a sense of defeat, at which he was as much surprised as confounded. To think that It was only yesterday a few fleeting hours ago that helield his bead high among bis "confreres, and now! What mattered it if all Paris still echoed bravo when she had criticised his "Danae,"' a picture" that had aroused the envy and enthusiasm of the artistic world? In vain he sought to forget her words, to cry out that one foolish wo man's judgment could not count against the public praise which he had reaped as his just reward after years of work. " The reason for her criticism Is what stung him most. , Her words still rang in his ears: "You fail, Henri, In achieving the highest; you depict the body and not the soul. This Danae Is beautiful flesh end blood, but the charm of the allego ry is lost. The beauty that wins a di: vinity should possess an inspiration be yond that born of flesh tints and curves. It is this lack, mon ami, that makes me ice to your flame. My late husband was a brutal sensualist; jrou have dimly outlined my years of pen ance with him. You are a refined sen sualist. You would notx throw your boots at my head In a drunken frenzy or parade your mistress before me In pabllc, but your nature lacks the ideali ty! need more than ever. You plead your old friendship as a sure precursor of unending love.- .Alack! Henri, the boy 'I -once played with has vanished never to return. Around the man 1 now know cling affectionate memories of the past, but he is not to me the pos sibility of a faithful .spouse for the fu ture.; Unless you can prove to me that your : fortune has not degraded your art that in a luxurious life you rise above yourself, above selfishness, we cannot be one . in either thought or heart When I see a canvas signed by you bearing the imprint of a noble soul as well as a trained eye and skilled hand, then, Henri, I may listen to your ardent wooing." : He could see her as she stood beside him, calm and thoughtful, her hand resting for a moment upon his arm, yet with an impalpable something separat ing her utterly from him. It brought little solace to his soul to know that ten years before, if he had but spoken to the fair girl he knew so well, she might have been his before, her parents had hurried her into the marriage with that rich old count, whose death at last was the sole comfort his wife derived from her marriage with him. . Henri Duval had loved the maiden well, but "the young wife better, though her Irreproachable life shielded her from even an attempt on his part to express his devotion.. So he dreamed his dreams and lived his easy life, re serving always In the depths of his be ing a pure place for her Image, while his daily entourage was favored with the Bohemia of art and Parisian youth. His plebeian grandfather had amassed a fortune, and the marriage of his fa ther with the penniless daughter of a duke had dowered him with the right to hobnob wltb- the mighty tines of the land, so that Henri had found his path In life a rosy one. Rich, clever and handsome, be was immensely popular, a little spoiled by adulation and very sensitive to praise or criticism, r . " The contemplation of marriage bad not escaped his thoughts, but be feared that he would grow weary of domestic joys, and the women he met were ei ther too frivolous or too serious all except the one of his dreams, whose marriage had caused him to feel a dis tinct sense of loss in his life. A thou sand times h had blamed himself for letting this treasure slip from his grasp, and when at last she was free again he found her more beautiful. more gracious. ' Then be poured out his passionate love, only to. find his idol turn cold before, his eyes. . Never could he forget her. cruel words, and yet she naa conressea that since she was a child she bad loved him and for that reason had avoided seeing him while married to the count. For one mo ment, one heavenly Instant, her great brown eyes, had gazed into his with tenderness. ; Then the look had vanish ed, and a quiet dignity enveloped her as with an icy mantle. Henri had felt powerless to take her band, and his eager words died upon bis lips. Thus had they parted. . - The. carriage stopped, the coachman wishing to know whether " monsieur had any particular route In view. 1 " "Drive anywhere to the devllf cried Duval crossly, and tJiey turned down a long .alley, toward a lake. The young artist looked listlessly at the children playing and nurses gossiping. - - Suddenly, be pulled the check string. Why 'should he be mewed up In the coupe? Why had he not ordered his saddle horse? Ah, only because he had not known what he was doing or saying since yesterday. .This was no day to sit cooped ub In a carriage. At least he could walk. The exercise would be. a relief. Telling ills man to await him at the entrance to the Bois, Henri strode Into a shady path that be spoke solitude and wandered on, while repeating in his mind over and over again the scene of yesterday. At last . nonsp if wpRrlDP" oa"sed Mm to rest on a bench," . There he sat brood ing and absorbed till bis reveries were broken by the voices of children. - Abstractedly Duval looked up and watched them at their play a boy of some 8 years and a girl of perhaps two years younger. Gradually bla- mood changed, and be became conscious of the radiance of the day. the 'deep blue sky and the autumn tints that glinted and glowed in the sunlight. The air ! was as wine to his thirsty lungs, and life grew full of possibilities again, and his thoughts took a new course. Why could be not paint a soul as well as a body? He would win Blanche yet. He would not make any effort to see ber now. but would work and wait. His life should prove bis right to win ber love.- He would paint a picture that even she would praise. A hundred .subjects presented .themselves to his busy, brain as be. sat there watching those two . children who stopped in their play and were crossing the road way. . Hand In band they came. the. boy leading his younger companion, now-funning; now naltlogiTo' avoid & passing carriage until they reached a graveled footpath. . There they linger ed again, playing on the grass border ing the path. Both bad on blue aprons and little wooden shoes. They were without hats and typical children of the poor.; Presently, quite unconscious ly, the little girl felt Into a pose be neath a slender tree whose leaves autumn had turned with Midas' touch to pure gold. The breeze blew her short curls about her forehead ;vher apron was full of colored leaves the boy bad thrown to her. Just then a rustling above caused-her to look up. and a shower of golden leaves descended upon ber dark curls, blue apron and little sabots. - "Ah, sweet ehild Danae," cried Du val, thou art an Inspiration !" A' year of "work brought forth the picture that made him famous. It was a simple subject a child ' with wind tossed locks holding open her blue apron to catch the golden shower of leaves sent dancing down upon her by the autumn wind. y The public raved over the beauty of the child's eager, upturned face, the blue of the sky and' the gold of the trees, but Blanche read the message of the soul In the Innocent eyes and gave her heart into the keeping of the artist who had painted MA Little Danae In Sabots."

I saw a man do-a trick with, cards once," said Godfrey Aahton of Atlanta, "which, although be assured me was wholly a trick and that there was no second sight or mind reading connect ed with it., has always rested In an unexplained condition In my mind. "There were four of. us at supper, and the man In question sent for a pack of cards, and. handing them to the man next him, told him to select a card In his mind; not to take It from the pack, but to tell the ether, two men what card It was. He was then to shuffle the pack and. pass it to the other - two men. who were each to thoroughly shuffle It. The? last man was then to place It on the floor. "In the meantime a large napkin bad been tightly bound over the magi clan's eyes and his dress coat bung over his face with the tails tied under his T3)ln. so that bis bead was to all ln tjfats and purposes 1n a bag. He, by his direction, was led to the pack of cards and bis hand placed upon It- He then proceeded to scatter the cards about until they covered a rough cir cle of three or four feet In diameter. He called. for a knife, and. bringing It sharply down. . drove It through and affixed one of the scattered cards. Re moving bis headgear, be asked what card my friend bad chosen. The an swer being the ten of diamonds, be turned the knife toward us, and there, sure enough, was the ten of diamonds transfixed upon the point. "He swore It was a trick, but for the life of me I cannot see bow It was done. None of us was In collusion with him. I am sure the cards were not a fake pack; and I am equally certain that he was bo blindfolded that It was wholly impossible for him to see. Yet he accomplished It exactly as .1 tell yon."

HELPED DEWEY OUT. How a The Future Population of Slherlau This is a question upon -which much has been said and written, some writ ers taking the stand that Siberia' Is to have a population of GQ,000,000 or 80, 000,000 within the next 100 years, while, others hold this view is a gross exaggeration. A writer of the latter belief, Armlni us Vambery, using The Tall Mall Mag azine as a medium, has this to say on the subject: "With regard to the future colonization of this outlying portion of the empire of the czar, there Is no doubt that an unmistakable gain will be derived, for the growth of the pop ulation In Siberia, where an area of 13,400,000 square miles Is inhabited by only 7,100,000 souls and where the ex traordinary wealth In minerals, woods and arable land still awaits exploita tion, will certainly proceed with great er strides than heretofore. "Without giving Implicit faith to Russian, official statistical data. It may fairly be assumed that owing to the particular care the government has al ways taken to further colonization, the eminently agricultural Russian will probably avail himself of the offered facilities and that the population In the hitherto empty lands will consider ably Increase. It may be objected that Russia, the most thinly populated coun try In Europe,-will hardly find a sur plus to provide for the newly opened territory; but it must be borne In mind that the Russian peasant is noted for his migratory propensities." Roastaa Baroans Prompted Hlas to a Comallaneat. Dewey once attended a wedding breakfast at which the affable Baron ess de Strove, wife of the Russian minister at that time, was present. Dewey had met this famous woman several times before. The facial plain ness of the baroness was quite beyond belief, but she was one of the most brilliant, lovable and kindly women ever elected to guide the social affair of the diplomatic corps In Washington. A lady who overheard It tells of an amusing passage which the baroness and Dewey, who. If memory serves. was then a commander, had at this particular wedding breakfast. "Re ferring to leather," said the baroness amiably after some playful remark as to the spick and span polish of Dew. eys sword belt he was In dressbni form "the most remarkable bit of Russian leather In " the world Is m face," Dewey was always a quick thinker. but this stalled him. "Madam." he said after a pause, "1 am but a rough sallorman, and this Is a heavy demand which you make upon me. I am not equal to" the emergency. "Of course," said the baroness, tap ping him with her fan. "I should hare .to consider you hopelessly rude were yon to agree with me. But you can preserve your neutrality naval officers are taught to do that, are they not by telling me what really fine eyes I have. They are fine, are they not?" Thus, assisted. Dewey rose to the oc casion. The baroness' eyes were, in truth, magnificent. Washington Tost WHITE SUPREMACY. Ccza Let Us Reasca legator," Wtiti Yctsrj. THE AMENDMENT MUST AKO WILL BE CARRIED.

Po - Paat aad Preaeat Acting;. With regard to the art of acting, who shall say whether It Is better or worse today than it was GOor.lOO years ago? "The old playgoer" always tells us that It was better. But is not "old playgo er" simply the young playgoer grown old, still Imbued with bis first Impres sions, his favorite and most lasting ones, and with a jealous desire never to have those first Impressions disturb ed? If one talks of tbe actor of today. the playgoer: of a past generation speaks of Macready, Charles Kean and Phelps. People living In tbe times of those three great actors would surely hark back to the Kembles-and Mrs. Siddons, and when these great artists were in their prime they no doubt underwent disparagement at the bands of veter ans who had sunned themselves in the genial art of Garrick. But Pope, friend and admirer of Garrick as he was, landed Betterton to the skies. "I ought to tell yon at the. same-time," he can didly admits, "that In Better-ton's time the older sort of people talked of Hart being his superior, Just as we do of Betterton being his now." In this way we could keep going backward until If we believed con temporary critics at all points of stage history we should find that the first actor, presumably the serpent, was the best that ever trod the boards.
