THE ONLY PUPIL.

MSS Elizabeth Hill was still a pretty
littler woman, with nice hair and a tidy
little figure, when her mother died.
One after the other her elder sisters
had married and left home; end Lizzie
kept house for her widowed father aid
forgot the lapse of time. -
The two old servants considered her
a mere child, and she was always the
y-oungest`at the rare family reunions.
Her father had advised, praised and
scolded her as though she had been in
her teens to the last.
He was so old when he went quietly
to sleep for the last time that people
had thought Elizabeth Would be "pre-
pared for her loss," but she was not,
and, after the first greet grief and the
shock of leaving the old home, When the
property was divided and the house
goldshe found that another change had
befehen her.
She was no longer Miss Lizzie, the
youngest daughter still at home, but a,
middle-aged spinster living in a boarding
house. -
Often when she had hurried upstairs
and shat the door of her room she had
thought to herself that she could. not
endure this condition of thing h much
longer, but, after all, she dreaded to
raake a change.
She was exactly In the condition to
turap at anything which offered occults.
tion and interest, when the postman
one day brought her a circular, gilt-
edged and rose tinted, bearing these
words:
" Mr. Buckle respectfully desires to
raake known to the public the fact that
he is about to reopen his claims ha

Early application desirable, as the
number of pupils will be limited.
Studiot No. - —street.
It was an attractive -looking card,
and as Miss Elizabeth read it an idea
came into her mind. Why shoeld she
not take lessens in water color- paint-
ing?
She would enjoy the work. She
cottId afford it. It would peso the time.
She could perhaps eketoh from ,nature
next summer.
A little thrill ran through her at this
thought. She got her bonnet and man
-
tills,her parasol and her gloves, and
taking the card with her, hurried to
make application for a place in the class
before it was too late, for it 'was now.
Saturday afternoon..
She found the riumber easily. A
large buitcli.ng with many robins and
at the very top of -the house four
engravers, a lady " designer in wood,"
and Mr. Buckle's name on a neat door-
plate.
Miss Elizabeth, quite breathless by
this time, applied her knuckles -to the
panelnancl after a little delay and some
creaking et boots on a bare floor, the
door opened and a middle aged gentle-
man, with a few gray hairs in his whis-
kers and a bald spot on his head, ap-
peared, with a palette on his thumb
and a brush in his hand, and; bowing
politely, reqested the lady to enter.
"Mr. Buckle ?" Elizabeth asked with
an interrogative infection.
The gentleman bowed again.
“ I received your card," said: Miss
Elizabeth.. "1 think I sh.oeld like to join
your Glass, if it is not full."
"It is not full as yet, madam," re-
plied Mr. Buckle, "and I should be de-
lighted. to receive- you as a pupil.".
He
He opened a portfolio as he spoke.
" My work,'" he saicl t perhaps you'd
like to look at it?"
The portfolio was full of sketches in
water color of English ecenes, cottages,
lanes, oid women gathering faggots,
ladies welking in old perhs. _
They were not great, but- they were.
.very good, Miss Elizabeth was de-
lighted.
How kind of you to take a dass,"
she said beaming. “ Snell an artist as
you are."
Mr. Buckle bowed again. He evident-
ly preferred bowing to speaking.
l'in au•re I've seep your pictures in
the Academy," she said, "-and admired
them."
Mr. Backle blushed violently and
bo -wed again.
How modest !" thought Miss Eliza-
beth.
She iequired his terms. They were
very reasona-ble. She paid it on the
spot, received a little list of necessary
paper, colors. ezc., and went away.a
Stanley passed slowly, despite its
three epitodes of churoh-geieg, she
awaited her first lesson with such im-
patience.
At lest the hour came. She climbed
toe eteirt again, a.nd euterecl the door of
the room on whioh the name of Buckle
appeered. A long pine ta,ble and six
cane -bottom oh airs, an easel, and:some
canvases and portfolios, furnished the
room. .• A South Araerican hanarnoek
Was twisted into. a coil and hang over
11307216 pegs. A blanket portiere hung On
a rod within the door. Bat there was
no one there but Mr. Buckle.
" Ara I too= early ?" Elizabeth asked,
glancing at the watch. “ I see lam the
firat."
Oh, no, indeed," replied Mr. Buckle.
"It is the other pupils who are tootate.
We won't waif for them."
He began his lesson at once, and Miss
Elizabeth. Wall absorbed in her work,
AR hour passed -two.
The lesson vtae over. No pupils. bad
arrived.
"Lathea are seldom as prompt as you
ere," said Mr. Buekle. "Any time will
de to begin, any thne. They delay.
They procraatiaate. It's a pity." '
"It's surprising to me that they are
not more anxious to avail themselves of
such advantages," sted Miss Elizabeth,
hardly able to tear herself away from
the contemplation of the bine sky, with
white clouds, that had grown under
her brush. "1 have had a delightful
lesson?
Again she waited with impatience.
Again she climbed: up the long stairs.
Again there were no other pupils pre-
sent. Again none arrived.
But this time hbrown roof grew un-
der her brush and gray branches lay
against the aky.
The trunk of a tree was indiaated,
and the figure of a child was carefully
fskctched among the blossoms, as yet
only outlined in the foreground. -
Miss Eliza.beth trembled with pride
and heppiness.
"lou mutt find me very stupid," she
said. "But don't vou think I oala learn
if I apply myself ?"-
1 am aure yoa will do well," ateid
Alr. Buckle ; more than well. You
have talent, naaclam-decided talent for
art."
On her way home Miss Elizabeth

She, for her part, went into t e roo
all tremulous with surprise a I grie
and could hardly utter her Ile greet-

She 'looked at Mr. B kl as he
laid .ont the pattern, and,. e ed the
shade of the color in her palet: Cum
thinking what -a fine,kind, ple ant face
his was.
She noticed, too, that the br id that
bound his coat was worn out, a d that
his knees were shiny.
Then he came around the t hie and
for the first time sat down bee de hen
"I'm going to give up thi studio,

“ Oh, no," said Miss Elizabeth

"I'll try riot to think of it mor . than

Miss Elizabeth had pat her h ndker-
chief to her eyes, and now was heard to
whisper something.
“ Beg pardon ?" said Mr. Buck e.
“ got plenty," said Mis Eliza-
beth.
“ Plenty ?" repeated Mr. Bach e. •
"Money !" gasped Miss Eli &hal].
" Plenty for both.'
"You.kind little women," sad Mr.
Buckle, and took het hand.
The brushes lay neglected, th
dried on the palette.
They sat thus for a long whil , then.
" If you really love me," sat Miss
Elizabeth, "it dosn't raatter whi h has
the money." •
" It's awfully sweet of you to fe 1 that
way," said Mr. Buckle, "Only- would
it be right of me, you know ? What
would your family say ?"
In the rcellow twilight that had be -

Mies Elizabeth's face looked • :older -
fully soft and young as she looke. up at
him; but I think she scarcel could
have done what she did but fo that
fancy picture of himself which 8e had
made for his landlord. '• If she w: -re not
brave now she felt he might ind ed be
found pendent from a branch some-

said, with a little laugh z “ and a a -rally

“ It is the right spirit," saii M.
