THE PICTURE OF THAT
YEAR.
(Concluded from last week.)
" Oh ! do _speak, Malcolm; what is
this mystery?"
He. did not answer, but looked im-
• ploringly.toward. jean Logan.
The amne bitter smile played round
her mouth, and then she heard her own
voice saying words that seemed loaded
• with gunpowder:
Mackenzie knew the father of
my child V' The effort was too great,
and she sank back in her seat.
"Wanda, do not question me now,"
he answered nervously. Attend to
this wciman ; she seems faint."
Mrs. Mackenzie went to her press and.
took out a bottle of eau de -cologne, with
which she bathed Jean's temples and
hands.
Mr. Mackenzie paced up and down
the room in eittreme agitation, he
poured Wine into a glass viehich, as he
laiditdown,wasshattered into a thousand
pieces. He was in a frenzy of agitation
-almost terror; he stared wildly at the
white-faced woman and then, suddenly,
caught himself thinking what a picture
the whole scene would make. His train-
ed artistic eye took in vividly the varied
pictorial advantages of the group; his
beautiful wife in her luminous daffodil
satin, with all its shimmer of reflected
lights; drapery that Paul Veronese
might have loved to rendein She bend-
ing over the sad, pale, handsome woman
in the dark woollen dress. The wife in
all the exuberance of youth and wealth
in strong light.; in shadow the vvoinaa
he had ruined. It was not only pictori-
ally fine, but it had a deeper significance.
He was startled, as he thought of the
pathos of the situation and the cynicism
of his awn reflections, he, the chief actor
in this social tragedy, enacted in his
wife's luxurious room -instinctively
viewing it from the artist's standpoint;
yes, he would paint the scene -it was
grand. He would call it The Old
Love and the New." - He was arranging
the details artistically in his mind, de-
bating whether he would put a man's
figure in, when his child's voice aroused
him from his painter's dream.
"Oh,.Muremie, do open your eyes;
are you still ill?"
"Better now, darling," was the an-
swer, in a tremulous, hoarse voice.
Mn. Mackeuzie rang the bell; a ser-
vant came up.
"Get a cab for Mrs. Logan."
Jean cast another look at him -a look
that conveyed a life-long reproach.
To get her and the child away was
now Malcolm Mackenzie's only thought:
he was in terror lest his young wife
should get a clue to the mystery.
"Won't you give me your address,
Mrs. Logan ? asked: Mrs. Mackenzie.
"1 should like to know how you are
getting on, and if I could do anything -
for this lovely little girl. Do you know,
Malcolm, it may be fancy, but there is
some resemblance to you in Mary's
face."
- "To me, Wanda ?"-he said this al-
most fiereely. " It is sheer nonsense."
There was an expression of satisfac-
tion in Jean's face; she saw this remark
Moe. Mackenzie had thoroughly alarm-
ed him.
"The cab is here, sir," said the ser-
vant.
"All right. Now, Wanda, go and
finish your dressing. I shall put Mrs.
Logan into the cab and take her ad-
dress."
He hurried them out of his wife's
room, feeling --what he haa never felt
before -on very bad terms with himself;
di -anted by the whole position. Jean's
fragile, broken-hearted look pained
him.; her •presence in his wife's house
had terrified him.
He got the address from Jean. "Ex-
pect me to -morrow," he said faintly; "I
must see you, but bear in mind you
never come here again."
"It would most certainly be incon-
venient, Mr. Mackenzie," she answered
scornfully.
The four -wheeler growled off toward
the•Edgware road, and a smart brough-
am, with liveried servants, took its place
te drive Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Macken-
zie to their evening party.
* *
As Malcolm Mackenzie wended his
way on the following day to Jean Logan's
lodging, he felt ill at ease. He had been
a sinner. Elastic as his conscience was,
still he felt he had blighted the life and
ruined the happiness of the simple
Scotch lassie who had loved and trusted
him. She had acted in a spirited man
ner and had refased pecuniary assistance,
he could not bat respect her for this in-
dependence of spirit. The appearance of
his old lave in his young wife's room
had utterly perplexed him. What would
she do next?"Would she betray his
wretched secret to Oils innocent Wanda?
No high metives ever actuated his life,
so how was he to belieye that a woman
he had wronged should be capable of
acting nobly? The whole thing vexed
him as would a pebble in his shoe; it
-annoyed him to think he had acted un-
justly toward the poor thing.. He re-
membered her great beauty -how he had
persuaded her to be his model. He was
a good-lookino fellow then and the girl
liked him. __Ilan this proud Jean should
be his wife's dressmaker was an astound-
ing conjunction of circumstances -his
Nemesis. And the lovely child -how
he wished she was his to acknowledge
openly He had a sentimental nature,
and the forlorn appearance of Jean
touched the outer surface; her white
face haunted him, like nquo's ghost,
corning in the height of his popularity
and happiness; yes, she would ever be
the skeleton at his life's feast, ever whis-
• pering that, after all, he was but a poor
creature, with no moral fibre, no real
heart. He reached her house; it was a
common -looking abode, let out in flats
to the working classes.
As he knocked at Jean Logan's door
his heart -or, rather, the place where it
is supposed to be -gave a thump. The
door was opened by Jean, looking mis-
erably ill. She ha.d passed a sleepless
night and was haggard and white.
seeing his picture. His ruddy face grew
a shade paler.
Ah," he exclaimed, ." never have I
done better work than that; how it re-
calls the past! It was so like you.
Oh, what a bewitching lassie you were
then 1 You are still very handsome, only
too thin and pale.".
"Cease speaking in that tone to me,
Malcolm Mackenzie. We are not here
to -day to tallejocosely. You have ruin-
ed my happiness. I am now striving to
forget a wretched, past, and to face and
do my duty."
"I have come, Jean, to endeavor to
tell you the remorse I feel for the wrong
I have done you. I long to atone for it
in some way. Ask me what you will
and it shall be done."
"Sound your own heart; and you will
see that it is not pity for my' position
that has brought you here to -day, but
fear lest / should betray to your wife
who, is the father of the child she ad-
• mired so.much last night. Don't deny
this. When I went to your house, I
was fierce with a sense of my wrongs,
and thirsted for revenge;. but the ten-
derness, the sweetness, and the sympa-
thy of your wife disarmed me, and
saved you. Thank her, not me. I shall
never reveal to her who Mary's father
is.'
Oh, bless you for this promise,
Jean," he said earnestly. "If she knew
this sin of mine it would, I fear, kill her
love for me. She has a pure, sensitive
nature." •
"I know it, Malcolm Mackenzie, and
respect her. You little considered my
nature when you brought trouble on me
-a trouble that killed my old father.
He was a proud, upright, sensitive man,
and never recoveren the shock caused by
his daughter's disgrace." Her voice
trembled.
Malcolm Mackenzie paced up and
down the room. He feared she was go-
ing to cry; this would affect his senti-
mental natere too much. _ -
"Your wife saw- Mary's likeness to
you. That frightened you, did it not?"
"I confess I feel the wretchedness of
my position, and throw myself on your
generosity, Jean."
He sat down on a chair opposite to
her, and for few seconds they looked
scrutinizingly at each other. Jean no-
ticed how flabby and florid he had grown
since they parted ten years ago. His
hair was streaked with gray-, but no re-
morse or sadness was in his ruddy face.
It embittered her to see him so jovial.
His clothes were new and fashionable;
his blue necktie and yellow gloves she
thought savored of vulgar prosperity.
Oh, how could she have been such a
fool as to have sacrificed all that is
most precious in a woman's life for such
a man?
He on his side was keenly perceptive
of the ravages time and trouble had
'wrought in her appearance. Her face
had deep circles, and. the lovely rosy
color had faded forever. There were
dark lines round the eyes; she was
scraggy, though still handsome, and her
merino dress was unstylish though neat.
What a contrast to the picture painted
eleven -years ago when he first met her,
with the wild S iotch landscape for back-
ground. Had he seen her in that bare
parlor he never would have been be-
witched.
"I am afraid, Jean, you find the bat-
tle of life hard; it is too difficult fora
woman to fight -alone. I cannot bear to
think you have so few comforts."
"I earn enough for myself and Mary
-enough to keep us from want. Mary
is strong and well."
"And very beautiful, I think," ex-
claimed Mr. Mackenzie with enthusi-
asm.
" Ah, a fatal gift !" she answered
with a sigh; but I shall ward off men
such as you -wolves in sheep's cloth-
ing. I shall tell her the truth. She
must be warned in time against your
sex."
"Don't be too hard on me. I was a
brute once, and feel it keenly. I have
come here to beg you to allow me to
provide for our child. I am now a
wealthy man, and can easily afford that
pleasure. I have in my pocket a check
for £1,000 which you must accept."
Jean got up; she stood erect, stern,
and sad. "Keep your money! I would
rather starve than accept a farthing from
a man I have learned to despise hearti-
ly; a -weak, selfish nature, devoid of
heart and conscience."
"You had better reconsider your ver-
dict, Jean." He said this with irritation
in his voice. "The past cannot be un-
done."
" No, alas ! It cannot, and.,I am out-
wardly punished; but thOugh poor, deli-
cate, troubled, I would far rather be
What I am than you, with all your fame
and wealth."
She opened the door for him.
"Is this really your last -Word, jean?"
"My very last; I do not wish ever
again to see or hear from you."...

"The Old Love and the New," paint-
ed by' Malcolm Mackenzie, was the sen-
sation picture of the next Royal Acade-
my. Almost all the art critics praised
it, not only for the excellent coloring,
but also for the composition, lighting,
and expresSion. One of the most in-
fiential London papers said of this pic-
ture : • i
"The painting of the young woman, -
'The New Love, is of the highest order
of merit; the daffodil satin stanuing re-
splendent in full gaslight is almost
worthy of Veronese ; The Old Love,' in
sober tones of gray. and brown, is pa-
thetically and learnedly rendered ; the
bewildened expression Of the man, the
mingling of terror, the self-control as he
perceives who the poor woman and the
lovely child are, is subtly portrayed;
there is nothing theatrical or exaggerat-
ed in the situation, it is well felt. Alto-
gether, as a work of nrt, and as a scath-
ing moral pictorial lesson, it will rank
amonebthe highest achievements of mod-
ern art."
Mr. Mackenzie's picture was sold for
-C1,800 at the private view; the largest
price he had ever received. "The Old
Love and the New" was the success of
that year at the Royal Academy. •
His wife never knew the secret of the

whole length of Manhattan Island.
Eighteen feet below the surface there is
practically to be a new street, extending
from curb to curb, in which shall be
transacted business as in any other
street. It is expected that stores will
be opened and traffic carried' an as above
ground, for it will be light in the day-
time, but it will be more brilliant at
night from electric illumination. On
this lower etreet will be steam cars not
only for the accommodation of local
travel, but which will connect with the
railway system of the country. The
traveller from New Orleans, Chicago,
San Francisco, even the City of Mexico,
will be able to buy his ticket and check
hie baggage direct to the hotel, if his
destination be the metropolis. New
York is built on a narrow island. Many
of its new buildings are great tall struc-
tures, eight and ten stories high, and the
city has become crowded; hence the
necessity lor doubling Broadway, and at
the present rate of progress, it ma Y be

number of the leading thoroughfares

Mr. Powderly's Liquor Views.
General Master Workman Powderly
has no love kr the liquor sellers. They
are one of the classes proscribed by the
constitution of the Knights of Labor.
In his last address made to the general
convention of the Knights of Labor, Mr.
Powderly said:
" The temperance question is an im-
portant one, and I sometimes think the
main issue. The large number of appli-
cations during the past year to grant
dispensations to allow the' initiation of
rum -sellers was alarming. .I have' par-
sistently refused them, and will enjoin
any successor, if he values the nture
success of the order, to shut the doors
with tripple bars against the adinission
of the liquor dealer. His path and that
of the honest, industrious workman lie
in opposite directions. The rum -seller
who seeks admission into a labor society
does so with the object that he may en-
tice its members into his saloon after
the meetings close. No 'question of in-
terest to labor has ever been satisfactor-
ily settled over a bar in a rum hole. No
labor society ever admitted a rum -seller
that did not die a drunkard's death.
No workman ever drank a glass of rum
who did not rob his family of the price
of it, and in. doing so committed a
double crime -murder and theft. He
murders the intellect with Which the
Maker hath, endoWed him. He steals
from his family the means of sustenance
he has earned for them. Turn to the
annals of every dead labor society, and
you will see whole pages blurred and
destroyed by the accursed footprints of
rum. Scan the records of' a meeting at
which a disturbance took place, and you
will hear echoing through the hall the
maudlin, fiendish grunt of the drunken
brute who disturbed the harmony of the
meeting. In the whole English lan-
guage I can find no word that strikes
more terror to my soul than the one
word 'Rum.' It was barn in hell ere
the fiat `no redemption' had gone forth.
Its life on earth had been one ofruinto
the hopes of youth and the peace of old
age. It has robbed childhood of its de-
lights. It has stolen the laugh from the
lips of innocence, the bloom froin the
cheeks of manhood. It has touched the
heart of age like the tip of a poisoned
arrow. Its sound, as it gurgles from
the neck of a bottle, echoes through
many a desolate household as the hissing
of a thousand serpents. You may deem
me too radical on this point. Yet I
never interfere with the rights of a man
to drink if he so elects. I hold I have
a right to and do shun rum as I would
an enraged tiger, neither meddling with
it nor allowing it to meddle with me.
So long as it keeps its distaace I am
content to leave it alone, but the mo-
ment it attempts to interfere with my
rights by coming into the Knights of
Labor, then my soul rises in arms against
.it, and I can find no words too bitter, no
denunciation too scathing to hurl against
it. "

What is a Bore. --
EioSenator Charles H. Russell -is
vainly endeavoring to -day to stop the
circulation -of as pretty a little story as
ever caused a general _Eastern District
chuckle. Last night Mr. Russell - was
the principal orater at Public School
No. 13,- South Second and Tenth streets,
where closing exercises were held.
There was a large attendance, and the
ex -Senator was so loudly applauded
when he arose to speak that he dropped
at' once into his pleasing vein, and re-
lated a hamorous anecdote of a m ai who
spoke too frequently and too long at
school commencements, and was there-
fore called a bore.
Now, children," asked ex -Senator
Russell,, "what is a bore?"
• There was no response.
"It is not possible, children," said
the ex -Senator, "that you are unable to
tell me what a bore is. Now I see a
bright -looking little fellow sitting in
that front row. ,,1 am sure he knows.
Tell me, sonny, what is a holies?"
The briuht boy looked just then a
trifle bewildered; but said nothing, and
Mr. Russell, to encourage him, _remark-
ed : "Conic, my boy, speak up; I
know you can tell me. Now what is a
bore?" _
The boy's face reddened. He seem-
ed anxious to avoid observation as he
twisted uneasily in the chair, but the
arbole school,- with parent's, friends,
teachers, principal- and distinguished
guests. awaited eagerly and in dead sil-
ence his answer. There was no escape
for him, and just as the long pause Was
becoming painful he blurted out;
"A Senator !"
Such a shout' of laughter was never
before heard in a Brooklyn school build-
ing. It was so prolonged that ex -Sen-
ator Russell Waited three minutes before
attempting to renew his speech. Then -
the audience roared again, and again the
ex -Senator 'was compelled to wait till
the laugh rolled by. A few minutes
later during the course, of his speech he
tried to aim a witty shot at the boy who.
.had knocked him out, but the audience
was in sympathy with the- bright boy,
and the third time the laugh was against
the ex -Senator. Mr. Russell says that
he would now rather deliver an address
to a hostile political niob than attempt
again to cateehize an audience of school-
boys. -"But," he added, "I shall not
mind much if the story is kept from -the
newspapers." -Brooklyn
