"Happy I may not call thee until I
earn that thy life has been happily end
ed."
Thus Rolilofmizcd young Mr. Henry
lenshall as he reclined, day dreaminpr,
against the cushions of his seat in the
forward section of a Warner car.
The New York Central train was
ppeeding him on and on, to which fact
he was utterly oblivious.
He had secured tho forward section to
escape observation, lie at with his
back to the passengers. Himself wa
ipanionship enough. He desired only
to think and to dream.
He had but a few days since put Co-
umbia college, so to speak, among his
stock of reminiscences, with her highest
honors in his trunk.
He had mentally given over his father's
great manufacturing interests, which
invited him to take immediate posses
sion and give the aged sire his desired
retirement, to the devil and the deep
blue sea.
He loved his ideal best, his art next,
the devil take what was hindmost. The,
ideal was now his quest; art he could
achieve between times. It was of her
he dreamed his ideal.
As he sat there gazing at the end of
the car, deep in the contemplation of
this yet unseen but ever clearly outlined
Celestial ideal girl, with all the glamour
of youth, the won Is of the great Solon
to envious Croesus would thrust them
selves between, his thoughts nnd seize
him like some grim specter, 'Happy I
may not call thee until I learn that thy
life has been happily ended."
"Why need what old Solon or any one
else ever said concern me?" he mused.
What difference does it make what
people say or who says it? . A fact is a
fact, and a theory a theory. One man s
theory is as good for his own purposes as
another's theory. The fact in my case is
that I am satisfied to paint, notwith
standing dad's wrath and the business
ho would thrust on me. Let dad earn
the money, or who will I desire only to
spend it.
"So much for tho fact. theory is,
and I prefer it to Solon's, that to marry
my ideal will be the acme of happiness
and will insure a happy ending to my
life. If I never find her more or less of
my life will be miserable and will end
unhappily."
The young man failed to see that he
had exactly conformed his theory to
Solon's, that he had expressed the same
theory precisely with variations in form
only. Youth is deluded and ignores re
semblances, those trifles which made
Darwin immortal. He continued to
muse:
"As an artist my preferences run to
browns. "They are my favorite colors,
because to mo they are mot beautiful,
most, quiet, most sincere and the least
suggestive of cither gaudiness or gloom.
My ideal, unseen, unknown love is a
tym phony in browns brown hair, brown
eyes and a complexion tinted brown
rather than white or red.
'She is very small in statu'-.-, hence
sure to be superbly perfect in form. Her
little head is beautifully rounded and
sjmmetrical, likewise her dimpled arm
and her sweet little- hands. Her little
feet are incased in child's boots, not
larger than a child's No. 12. She is"
He paused abruptly, startled, for he
saw her. His eye had been wandering
among the gorgeous tapestries of the
car, the beautifully wrought woodwork,
the superb French plate glass panes in
the windows, the oil painted ceilings
and the blue and gold woven velvets of
the cushions.
At last it rested on a mirror in front
and above his head that slightly inclined
from the top toward him sufficiently to
exjose the entire car and all its occu
pants in dim image, dim because his
curtain was draAvn, darkening the light
from the window at his side.
He thought several times to change
his position to obviate the annoyance,
but he unconsciously seemed deterred
from so doing. He was being slowly
fascinated by a shadow as yet undefined,
but momentarily growing more startling.
He stared through the dim light at the
mirror until his eyes became accus
tomed to the shadows above, and the
picture among the other images gradual
ly defined itself.
What he saw, that which wound
round and round him silken threads of
fascination, might have been reflected
through a dozen mirrors from side to
eide and from end to end of the car.
Suddenly he turned and attempted to
discover the original among the passen
gers. Failing in this he again, sought
the mirror, giving himself entirely to
the study of one dim outline.
What he saw was the head and bust
of a young girl. It so exactly conformed
to the ideal of which he had dreamed
so long that he concluded the image
must be a conception merely a psy
chological ghost, as it were.
There was his dream face, surely; the
symphony in browns; the brown hair,
every thread as delicate as the dew
catching gauze of a spider; the large
brown . eyes, in which was the very soul
of the loftiest conceivable intellect, the
highest genius of music, perhaps; the
ccmplexion slightly tinted brown, but
cut by the sweetest red lipe; the evi
dently small stature and perfect form;
the beautifully rounded and symmetrical
head and dimpled arm.
He only lacked a glimpse of the feet
to complete the spell of fascination, ex
cept of course the realization of his ab
sorbing desire possession. He closed
his eyes an instant to more completely
imagine it all a dream. Again he looked
to revel in the picture, but madness it
was gone.
Startled, the young man turned in dis
may, when, to Ms almost uncontrollable
joy, the grrl in all her ideal beauty slow-

not larp'v than a child's No. 12.
Tht i.rl hvsitated, looking at him fchy
iy, as if iu doubt whether to wid.
Why, hr could not for an instant imag
ine, but he afterward attributed it to
the fact that he actually devoured her,
to far a one can devour a girl with the
eyes. Htr hesitation was but moment
ary, then she approached a small bilver
watr tan!: ia the corner of the lobby
near him.
He w:u on his feet in an in.tant. He
pprang to the tank, his tall form bond
ing until his eyes were on a level with
her, and he guzd at her with that
eagerness and intensity with which u
starved nomad might look through a
window on an epicure's dinner at Del
raouico's. "Permit me to assist you," he said
gently, with difficulty controlling a de
sire to grasp her hand.
"Thanks, you are very kind," ventured
the maiden, wondering at his eagerness
end intensity of gaze.
He placed the silver goblet under the
faucet, letting the liquid ooz out as
slowly as possible while he continued
his gaze like one in a dream of delight.
"The water is overflowing the gob
let,"' suggested the girl with an amused
smile.
The man awoke confusedly, turned
the wit r off and handed to her the cup.
"Couldn't you let it run over a little
while?" ho asked half impatiently.
"The carpet will absorb it. I have been
looking for you so long. I"
"Oh, certainly, if you wish," she in
terrupted. "But then I am so thirsty,
you kne w.'
He nUircd t!troitjlb the lim Ibjht at the
mirror.
"And so am I,-" the man Siiid wearily.
"I was never ho thirst" in my life."
"Then I a ..1 vise you to take a drink,'
retorted the girl with a luh, and she
abruptly turned and left him.
"It is not for water I am craving,
murmured the wretched man: but if
she heard him she gave no sign of it.
He watched h-r move down the aisle
and enter the drawing room at the other
end of the car. The reason of his ina
bility to see her among the passengers
was now evident. But how could her
image be reflected in the mirror in front
of him?
His eye caught a quick solution. The
transom over the door of the drawing
room was open, home mirror on tne in
side reflected the images of the people
to some mirror on the outside and thence
into the one over hi j head.
Hungry and dissatisfied he aoated
himself again to contemplate the picture
and scheme to get acquainted.
Now he recognized other people in the
drawing room also reflected in the mir
ror.
There was an old man with a sober,
dissatisfied face who looked as if he
might be a disciple of Henry George
deep in contemplation of land theories
a woman with a just then unreliable
countenance, who might be the ideal's
instructress in music or other studies,
or her governess, perhaps; lastly, the
face of a younger man, say of 85 years.
that bore in it cunning, malice, suavity
and other characteristics which denoted
a shrewd schemer and jcrhaps a villain
ous nature.
Was she traveling in security with an
aged, absorbed parent and trusted
friends, or was her father, if such lie be
oblivious to the machinations of a vil
lain, who had an accomplice in the sup
posed governess?
He resolved to probe this mystery to
the bottom, if he had to travel around
the earth to do it if he had to employ
detectives, had to squander his whole
fortune.
Poor man! He little knew how much
of his contemplation was to be realized
in his future existence.
Alarmed by the workings of his brain
he suddenly resolved to paint the group
as they appeared in the mirror.
He raised the curtain near him to in
crease the effect of the scene in the mir
ror, but it only dulled out the picture"
and he threw it down.
From his valise he took a palette, his
paints and brushes and a small square of
canvas with a heavy pastboard back de
signed for use in the absence of an easel
He began sketching on his ideal. It
was a joyous task, so much so that his
whole soul became concentrated in the
work, and the lines in which he drew
the lovely face rapidly grew into a fac
simile of life.
Of course the best he could do during
the remainder of the day was to prepare
studies for more finished paintings later,
Still he lingered long and lovingly on
the face of his ideal until the study, un
der the intensity of his love and long
ing, became not a bad picture.
The day gradually lengthened until he
recognized that he must turn his atten
tion to the others of the group or miss
them by nightfall.
They might get off at some destina
tion north of New York. He must hasten.
With feverish anxiety, intensified by
the thought of her possible escape from
him, he put away the paints and took to
his pencil.
By nightfall he had sketched the group,
bo that all its characters might be recog
nized bv the detectives whom he already
purposed putting on the case if he should
miss them.
Mr. Henshall concluded that in the
dining car at dinner he should have the
pleasure of sitting at the table next to
the group. To his utter disappointment
dinner was served, to the party in the
seclusion of the drawing room. -
He entered the dining car on the last
call and resort! to yuuiiuuns to org !

relief. retorud to Li vctiou mid !
called the conductor, having waived no
othtr scheme.
Can yon tell me the name of the
Iarty iu the drawing room uad their d
tinatioaV" he nurriud anxiously.
"I do not know their names, mi-d
the official, "an the room wa inertly
marked off to a party of four. How
ever, I know that their destitution is
New York, and that they have transfer
tickc-ts either fur some steamer or rail
road. In case of the latter they should
be Irmnd southward; if abroad, thrir
course is but a wild conjecture."
"Find out for me where they are going
and I will pay you fdO."
" ery well, hir." But that was the hwt
he saw of the conductor.
When darknes wt in tho brilliant
electric lights of the Wagner palace in
creased the Intensity of the picture in
the mirror.
At last Henshall observed some move
ment in the drawing room.
The girl took a violin, and tuned it to
suit her practised little ear. Soon there
began to float through the car the ravish
ing arias of Chopin, Schumann and other
masters.
If she was exquisitely beautiful to him
before, .what could describe her when
pouring her very soul into music? It
was then that the beautiful brown eyes
vindicated his sense of the artistic and
his love of their color.
In the mystic spell of that entrancing
music he could sef clearly through tho
perfection of her fingering, bowing,
technique, finish and grace into her very
soul, which was mirrored in herf-yes.
He had listened to Ole Bull in times
past, to Sembrich and even to Christine
Nilsson when she had chosen to 6eize a
violin and charm her friends; but in love
as he was the music of the maiden for
whom he was hue goring seemed to pale
the efforts of those great artists.
The very motion of the car was in
harmony with her time. Passengers
threw away their novels and listened.
The old man in the drawing room closed
his eyes as if in rapturous sleep. The
villainous looking man, as if fascinated,
thrust his face as near to hers aw he
could without disturbing the player, and
his looks showed passion, longing, and a
malicious intent which maddened Hen-
shall.
As suddenly as the music commenced
it ceased. The girl arose and put away
her viohn softly and with a caress. Evi
dently she was tired and wished to seek
her couch.
Had the young man hear.d what was
said within, his anxiety would have been
increased to a fever heat, but he had not
that privilege, much to his later disad
vantage.
Soon the lights within the drawing
room went out; the group had retired.
Long in contemplation the young man
sat. At last, merely to relieve the Dor
ter, all the remaining passengers being
in lied, he betook himself to his couch
It was hours before his tired brain would
rest, and it was broad daylight before he
awoke to violently spring to the floor
and dress himself. The car was stand
ing in the yards of the Grand Central
depot. The berths were all made up.
and the open doors of the drawing room
showed that his bird had flown. He
sought the porter in a rage.
"Where have they gone the people in
the drawing roomr he ahnost shouted.
"Don't know, sah. Don't know nothin'
'tall about it. Train get heah at 4 o'clock
dis mawnin'. De passenges get up when
da pleases. 'Specs de folks got up when
da pleased."
Mr. Henshall sat down a moment to
clear his brain. He was stunned.
Most of the night he had tossed in bed,
hoping for an accident, a crash, a fire,
anything, that he might spring to her
rescue. Nothing of the kind had hap
pened. Instead he had gone to sleep like
a stone and let her escape.
It was now 10 o'clock. Six hours had
elapsed, sufficient for the party to have
escaped by European steamer or to the
south, or worse, perhaps to their home
in the vast city of New York, where one
individual is a mere drop in the ocean,
a grain of sand in the Sahara, a moth
on a great sequeia of California.
The man arose and sought the quar
ters of the cabmen. They could tell him
nothing. No one had taken a party of
four. They might have taken a street
car or carriage of their own or walked
to some near hotel, or worse, taken the
elevated railway direct to the dock of
some morning sailing steamer.
There was absolutely no hope. In
despair the man wandered away, vio
lently clutching his painted portraits.
the only possible clew in the case.

"I tell you, papa, I cannot endure his
presence in this house. It was offensive
enough to me at home, when lit came
but once or twice a day. It was still
more so during our journey here, when
I was forced to be in the same car with
him; but now that yon tell me he is to
live under the same roof, sit at the same
table and ride in the tame carriage with
us it becomes unlx.-arable. My hatred
of the man increase hourly. Why
need you compel me to associate with
him so closely, papa?"
The voice of the speaker was of that
peculiar contralto quality winch in a re
fined woman denotes passion and force
of character, and in an ordinary one a
coarse order of strength.
It is a voice which alwrrs makes men
turn to listen, and which echoes longer
adown the strings of memory than the
most bird-like notes of more musical and
higher keyed voices.
The face of the speaker betokened re
finement, and this, together with her ex
treme yotth and pronounced beauty,
rendered the voice more remarkable.
The elderly man to whom the words
were addressed breathed a deep sigh.
"My dear child, I beg you to be reason
able," he said gently. "You know how
ill I have been you know how alarmig
my condition seemed ever after"
"Dont, papa, cried the young girl
sharply. "Do you not suppose I remem
ber as well as you the events which
killed mamma, chattered your health
and ruined my young life? Why reca
them now? ' .
"Have we not come away to forget
them, if possible, or at least to live down
the effects? But I io not see how it
will help ns to have that odious man
under the same roof with us day and
night. Let Dr. Ben"

"I hale Kubtorfuge and deception in

"The greatest city in the world i not

bitterly.
"Disgraced? Papa!" exclaimed tin
young girl in a tone of exp wtolntion. but
Ihe old man waved liis hand wearily.

heart.
"Dr. Watsou, as you well know, is the
first of many phj-sicians who gave me
any relief from my Buffering. He wtu
the last one to Ik called by nie, Ucause,
like yourself, I had conceived a most un
reasonable prejudice against the man.
Some foolish and idle gossip concerning
his private life, which arose from pure
envy, I am now convinced, had wan"d
my judgment. But from the hour he
first took hold of my case I have leen a
new man. I have been like one risen
from tho grave.
"It was he who discovered that old
associations were affecting my mind
dangerously. It wan ho who suggested
a journey abroad, and, us yon say, under
assumed names. A disgraced namo is
like a deceased member of the IkvIv. II
you have a wounded finger you ure in
constant fear of hurting it, awak or
asleep. If you boar a stained name you
dread tho effect of it on every strrnger
you meet. Dr. Watson realized what
this strain would lo upon mo during our
journey, and I must confess the relief I
find under my alias is marvelous. You
know how I have improved. The chill
with which I was attacked the morning
of our arrival, and which decided us to
remain here a few inontlis ln-foro pro
ceeding farther, ii only a step down on
the ladder ot health since I logan to
clamlx r up out of the valley of death.
Dr. Watson is my savior.
"I beg you to overcome your unrea
sonable prejudice against hi in, my dear
child. Whatever the errors of his youth
I am convinced he was more sinn!
against than sinning. He is your poor
father's liest friend now, and as such
you must consider him."
"But why need he live here with us;
Why can he not take a riK.m a few
blocks distant, within easy call?" per
sisted the young girl. "It destroys the
privacy of our home life-arid it de.-trovs
my ieace of soul," she added wildly,
"to have him here."
"That is the extravagant language ot
youth," rejoined the old man. "Your
prejudice is unreasonable, but I will
strive to keep Dr. Watson from annoy
ing you with attentions which he in
tends only as courtesies to the daughter
of his patient.
"He must remain under this roof. Hit
presence is as agreeable and beneficial to
me as it seems to be unpleasant to you.
In this matter selfishness is the greatest
unselfishness on my part, for the restora
tion of my health is the first considera
tion for your future happiness."
The sound of a key rattling in the lx;k,
like a rat gnawing in the .wainscot, put
an end to further conversation, and the
door swung open to admit a niediuin
sized man in his middle thirties, whose
glittering, sloe black eyes rested njs)n
the face of the young hwly while Ins
words were addressed to her father.
The lips expressed kind consideration
for the invalid, while tho eyes expressed
insolent and assured triumph in a fixed
purpose.
Whde he talked with his patient he
kept his gaze upon the girl's face.
She sought to avoid those glittering
eyes, but they seenied to fill the room
with strange light.
.She took a bit of sewing in her hand
and turned her br.ck upon him. ostensi

"I have ordered the carriage to be here

Dr. Watson.
"I prefer to walk," ehe answered
coldly.
"And I wish you to rids." he said
quietly.
Again her eyes were drawn to his and
she sat down obedienuy.
As they took their places in the car

Miss Crawford and by the side of hex
