entel prieeaess bronzee. Onan
met rested a pertralt, and in front ef
it *toed the painter, He wore a velvet
coat. •
On the dais, a few feet away from
him, sat the magnifieent creature he
wee paintime, He wee at work on her
left eye.
When the silence had laeted quite
tWo Minutea the sitter broke it.
"Then you do coneider Lady Bent-
wood Twigg good looking?" she waked,
sharply.
The painter, es all conscientious
painters ought to be, was absorbed in
las work, ,A.s rnetMr of pet he had
got ber left eye in a bit of a mess. ,Af-
ter a poem the question was repeated,
• He started.
"I beg your paedon, dear ledy,
er---?"
The lady threw •up her heed with a
gesture of impatience.
"Oh. please don't move!" be entreated.
The head came slowly down again.
"There, that's splendid, Now, pleese •
keep quite still." Re spoke as though
she were a child, and went on painting.
At length. when he was satisfied, or
as satisfied as a painter has any right
to be, he changed his brushes, The left
eye was fintelied.
Having mixed a fresh tint, his eyes
sought hers and caressed them distant-
ly. Then he glanced at hex mouth.
It was an imperious mouth, rather
too full, perhaps, and just a shade too
large; but, still, by no means unworthy
of his genius. It bloomed before hire
on the canvas -a beautiful, but inani-
mate shapee-awlaiting its, vitalizatiou,
But first the znagnificent creature
must be induced to smile. As a rule
he did not trouble about such precut -
tions, but Miss Trelaevney was a great
personage, and consequently art de -
mended for her an espeeial fidelity.
And elm had four sisters, none of
whom had been paiuted.
So with the brush poised in mitheir,
awl 'his hend thrown slightly back, he
assumed a dezzlin.g smile. It was one
of his most effective poses; there were
unkind people who said. that his repu-
tation had been built up on such poses.
But just as he' smiled. it 'occurred to
him that he bad hot answered her ques-
tion. What it Was hi had forgotten,
and, of course, it would never do to
ask her to repeat it.
However he fancied that it had been
of a some4A`ust positive and affirmetive
mature and surely. that was suffioient.
Accordingly, he raised the brush a. 1St-
tle higher, ea though a sudden recollec-
tion had seized him, and eried, softly:
"You asked me a question just now,
and I haven't answered it. Will you
forgive me? Of course. I should have
said 'Yes' -that I entirely agree with
you."
The lady sat up, her dark eyes flash-
ing. •
"What! You think she is?" she cried.
The painter's face 'took on a mild per-
plexity. Could it be that he had mit said
the proper thing. However, as it was
never his way to confront a difficulty,
but rather to evade it gracefully, he
flung out his hand in pained remon-
strange.
• "Oh, please," he implored, "don't talk."
Then, as quickly as he thought con-
sistent wi'bh the dignity of his expres-
sion, he smiled again.
"Now," he cried, sweetly, "I want you
to smile. The faintest, tiniest, most be-
witching little smile that the most be-
evitehing of women can invent," arid at
eaoh adjeetive he gave the brush a tiny
wave.
When. he had spoken his own smile
faded, merging slowly into a look of
blank bewilderment. Such a look might
a marksman have assumed who, expect-
ing a bull, had missed the target.
And, indeed, the simile applied. For
wherever his request had landed, it was
somewhere very wide of the mark. In
short, instead. of doing what he had so
engagingly. requested the ledy was gaz-
ing at him darkly, end with a rising
color.
"You call *that-thet woman good
looking," she demanded, with a terrible
emphasis.
/1 she had slapped his faee the Painter
could not have been more astonished.
"I," he stammered. "called-" Ite
paused and swallowed a lump in his
throat ."When?"
"When?' echoed the lady, scornfully.
"This Very: instant!"
He ran his tapering fingers through
his shock of hair and essayed a smile.
- "No, 110; you are mistaken, dear lady,"
he murmured. "Impossible! Why I-"
again he swallowed something, "I don't'
even know when' you Mean.
The lady reee majestically, and when
she spoke her voice was so cold it made
hine shiver.
"Really, Mr. Delaine. 'You are quite
too impossible!" She drew a jeweled
watch from her corsage. "As I regret I
cannot comeily with your request I think
we had better stop," and, descending
from the dais she gathered her skirts
'Iogether with:an ominous rustle.
The Painter stomi before,her with the
frozen remains of his smile still glued to
las lips.
"Stop!" he faltered.
She looked hini full in the face, "Will
you be good enough to ring for my
cart"
The studia swant before his eyes,
"On my word of honot----"
She tapped the floor impatiently.
Suddenly' the painter underwent a
transformation. In spite of his poses
and his affections he was still a, man,
though he frequently overlooked the
feet,
"Miss Trelawney," he began, in a voice
that almost made him jump. "If e'eu

A Hayseed From Missouri
Fell Into the Hands of Gamblers on an
Ocean Liner.
A, little eomedy was acted out lu the
smoking roma of one of the ocean grey-
hounds recently whielt might have af-
forded considerable amusement to the
passengers in general and would have
given great satisfaction to one or vivo
of theta in particular had they known
it was going on.
%le usual complement of two or three
professional gamblers was on board,
with a very stylish looking blena woman
to assist tlaem in the matter of making
acquain fences. About the second day
out they had succeeded in getting up a
little garne of bridge for the modest
points of ten e hundmd, and
they were cereful to play badlY enough
to lay the foundation for their revenge
later on at higher points.
The sixpence a point game being once
fairly under way and. the gamblers being
careiul not to push their luck too hard,
'it looked as if they could pay their ex-
penses for the vo,ya,ge and leave the /at
day for the grand coup which would sup.
ply them with velvet for shore leave,
especially as the blend. woman was par-
ticularly fortunate in getting acquainted
with passengers who fancied themselves
bridge players.
Aenong the inevitable spectators in
the smoking room was one who seemed
to be of the genus hayseed. IN looked
to be 60, with straggling grey whis-
kers, Which he energetically combed out
with Ids fingers whenever lie got partic-
ularly interested in anything.
He wore a rather seedy looking suit
of grey, which he ;lever changed during
the voyage, but he always had on a clean
shirt, although it was surmounted by a
celluloid collar and a ten cenb ready
made tie. of the butterfly persuasion.
ExcePt in the dining room he was never
without las hat, which was of the slouch
variety, and his only vice appeared to be
an inordinate love of chewing tobacco.
From the first time that the bridge
game was started this peculiar passen-
ger, who was down on the list es Mr.
Carron of Mershall, Mo., was the most
interested spectator, Although he "al-
lowed" he lied never seen the game be-
fore he had "Imam tell of it." Seven up
was his game; he said, and he "allowed"
he could beat any Irian on the boat
"playing of it."
The poker gaines in the corners had
no attractions for him. He bad seen
that game off and on for nigh on fifty
years, he said. "But this here game
where one fellow puts down his °reeds
and lets you play -'em" seemed to take
his fancy from the start. Allowing the
dealer to make a trump after he had
seen his cards seemed 'most too liberal
to be sport, but he allowed. it might
be all right.
It took Mr. Carroll at least two days
to get the hang of the declarations and

the scoring, and he soon realized that
the piece de resistance was the 110 temp-
er. Whenever such a declaration pulled
itself out of a smelt hole or made a
grand slaan he would comb his whiskers
vigorously' and exclahn :"Well, I SWIM,
but this here game's most as good as
seven up." -
During the course of the explanations
which the dummy or the onlookers were
good enough to give him while dodging
his rejected tobacco juice it developed
that Mr. Carroll's appreciation of any
game depended entirely on its merits or
demerits when compared to his standard
of excellence. seven np, He was enver
tired of insiiting that seven lip was the
greatest game ever ievented.
Once sure of his ground in the matter
of bridge tactics, he developed an ex-
traordinary desire to bet upon the re-
sult. When sitting behind the dealer he
would glanee over two hands and then
offer to bet any amount from a dollar
to five hundred on the odd trick, at the
same tinte pulling out an immense roll
of greenbacks and licking his right
thumb, as if ready to eount off any am -
(mut deeired.
At first this thing leas amusing, but
after a very short titne it got to be a
maritime, so ono day immedietely after.
luncheon while puffing their cigars and
leanieg against the rail en the prome-
bade deck the gamblers held a brief non-
tultation and egreed that something
ought to be done to get rid Of the two
inquisitive gentlemen from 'Missouri.
After some eliecussion one of the trice

bridge shaffler as the others, suggested
that he would itivite the lia.yeeed to try

Accordingly, when the bridge game

aecuatoinea seat and begat, to comb out
his whiskere in anticipation Mr. Smith
made softie retnark itbout being eut out
of the firsb tubber and \visiting he ould
play a gatne of euchre or seven ep or
zornethieg to pass the time.
At first Mr. Carroll did not teke the
hint, but the others helped Mr. Smith
out by ertyingt "There's your elittnee,
Mr. Carroll, You've been blowing about
your ekili at seven up ever sinee NVe
started. Take Mr. Smith on for a game
or two and show bins how you play It
in Missouri,"
It letts with evident reluetance that
Mr. Carroll left tbe bridge table and set-
tled down in a eorner to try him old
etartdby, Mr, Smith made a wry fate at
the way that moistened thumb was ap.

It be thought he could afford to put up
with the hayseed's idiosyncritslea for the
sake of handling a little of his wad.
' That Mr, Carroll knew all the points
of the game of seven up was evident.
knew when to beg with both high
and low In his hand and when to striae
with two average trumps, in feet he
begged less than nay pertion'thae Mr.
Smith had ever played against; but
that he could beat the akilful shuffling
of his opponent wits not lo be expected,
and Mr. Smith had no difficulty in mix-
ing las luck sufficiently to finish the af-
ternoon with nine games out of twelve
to his credit.
Mr. Smith confided to las partners
that he thought he had. a good. enough
thing in the seven uti game and would
leave the bridge to th.em as long as Mr.
Carroll lasted. Ho also mentioned eaStb•
ally that the liav seed had skinned las
thirty dollars off a roll that appeared
to contain at least five hundred, and
that he proposed. to raise the stakes af-
ter dinner.
But 'after dinner he found that Mr.
Carroll was very aiedous to watch the
bridge game again and obstinate in his
resolve to play no more Seven up that
night..Arguments and inducements were
alike in vain. The chin whiskers were -
combed oat with renewed energy and
emphatic declarations were made in
favor of the bridge table,
The next day,. an hour or two before
luncheon, Mr. Smith succeeded in get-
ting Mr, Carroll into another game of
seven up and he proposed, just to give
hint an opportunity to get even more
(evickly, to make it for fifty dollars,
To this proposition Mr. Carroll assent-
ed with an air that suggested. that the
matter was too erifling to waste any
time over. asserting that it Was all the
same to lain whether he played for five
dollars or five hundred. While Mr.
Smith did his best to conceal his satis-
faction at such an announcement he still
had preseriee of mind enough to propose
that they should make it a hundred.
By the time the lunch bell rang Mr.
Smith had the pleasure of closing his
fingers around three nice neev hendrea
dollar bills, he having won four games
out of five.
'As the three gamblers did. not sit to-
gether at table and otherwise did their
hest to create the impression that they
had never met before this trip they had
to wait for the promenade deck and the
cigars to learn of Mr. Smith's good for-
tune. They at once agreed that lie wail
doing much better than the bridge game,
in which the victims were getting a lit-
tle shy, perhaps because one man vho
had had a hundred aces held against
him four times in one afternoon was
talking about it too much.
After hutch the seven up players
soeght out a secluded corner of the
smoking room and resumed their game,
but upon this occasion somehow or oth-
er things did not work so well for Mr.
Smith,
The gentleman from Missouri seemed
to have an extrEtordinary run of ludic in
the matter of giving a point or running
the cards. Beery time Mr, Smith would
beg with a sure point in his ham( the
cards evould be run without a. moment's
hesitation. Every time he found him-
self without a trump the same alacrity
would be ahem.; in giving him a point,
althoogh Mr. Carroll turned Out to haVe
had nothing in his own hand but the
lone jack when he gave ie. When the '
bell rang for dinner Mr. Smith lied to go
over to the bridge table and borrow
money enough to pay Mr. Carroll e800.
After dinner, as usual, nothing would
induce Mr. Carroll to play geven up. 3ie
eaid he did not really know whether he
was ahead of the game or not. Ile did
not care anything about the money end

CVO! he thought he had lost, but for his
part he would father look ot at a game
of bridge than eat.
Full of confidenee that be could beat
any run of luck by skillful elniffling,Mr,

ACUTE INDIGESTION
Cured Through the Timely Use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Them is 4o medicine Can equal Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for stomach trou-
bles. These Pills are not an artificial
appetizer nor a stimulant. They act in
nature's own iva.y by maldng. rich, red
blood. This new blood. gives vigor to all
the organs. 1Vhenit flows through the
tiny veins in the stomach it stimulates
them and creates that craving which
people call "appetite." Then when the
eppetite is satisfied with food the blood
gives the stomach strength to digest it.
The nourishment is absorbed by the
bleed, and carried to very organ in the
body. That is how De, Williams' Pink
Pills cure stomach troubles arid ell
blood diseases. That is how they give
health and strength to week, worn out
people,
Mr, IL Thomas Curry, Port Maitland,
N. S., says: "About three years ago I
was attaeked with what the doctors
ternied acute indigestion. The first in-
dication was a bad taste in my mouth
in the morning, aud willow complex-
ion. Later as these symptoms developed
my tongue was heavily coated, especial-
ly in the morning, and I felt particularly
dull, My appetite began to dwindle,
and even a light meal left me With
sense of having eaten too melt. As X
grew worse I ate barely enough to sus.
tain my body, but still experienced the
most aeate pains. A wretched languor
came eaer me which could nob throw
off. It seemed as if I were always tired,
with but little strengtlt and fregnent
violent headaches. The remedies green
me failed to restore nte, or even to re,
lieve rite. I was in this unhappy state
for almost a year when I read in a
newspaper one day of the euro in a case
Meaner to mitre' through the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, This decided me
to give these Pills a trial, It was not
loug before X felt some relief from the
distress nfter meals, and as I continued
the use of. the Pills all languor and.
drowsiness and headaches left nie and I
began to enjoy increased energy and
new strength, To -day I ant a well man,
enjoying the best of health, with never
twiege of the old trouble, arid 1 attri-
Mite my cure eetirely to the fair use of
Dr. William' Pink Pills."

Decaying Self -Respect.
(London Times.)
The invasion of privacy by the prees
is matched by the vanity and pettiness
of those who desire publicity at any
cost, and by "the snobbishness of those
who greedily devour any serap of per-
sonal gossip that they can find, vainly
imaginiug that they in some way attach
themeelves to the society which they
cannot enter. A notable feature of the
present day is the decay of Unit jest
pride whiels is self-respect,. and the
growth of a rampant desire to get one's
name into inert by any means that of-
fer. In all ranks and in all professions
may be noted this extraordinary leek
of proud reticence. The new:simpers are
blamed for invading private life, when
they axe mobbed by persons only too
anxious to have the front of their dwell-
ings taken down, ect that everybody
may tme whether they take tea ot coffee
for breakfast. There is another public,

Otte• cif tie- most persistelit prierepre-

inate the commerce of the sea, is sus-

meet of the United Kingdom does eon -
tribute to Um support of certain lines
of truth steamshipm 'which have to be
fitted at extra, expense for auxiliary
naval vessels and are liable to be taken
by the governincut for such service,
So iv as there might be just ground
for a similar policy in this country
it would -not ue objected to. But these
ard eeval subventions do not ap-
ply to reor,i than about 5 per cent. of
the British tonnage and in no degree do
the;y account for the success of the com-
mercial marine of the enipire. That owes
its existence and prosperity 4o its free-
dom front trammels whiell wore re-
moved Meg ago by the abolition of the
old navigetion laws that sought to con-
fine the Britieh flag to British built
