THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. MS IS Ml Br MYRTLE REED- A CRISIS IN THE CAREER OF JOE HAYWARD. People said that .Toe ITayward'a pictures "lacked BomcthinR." No one tin sure what It w.ih. Kven the critics who know pvory t tiltiK. were nt a loss. Hayward himself worked hard; study log tho masters, patiently cored Ins faults In color and perspective, and ncceeditiK after a fashion. I!nt he felt that art, In Its highest mid lrst (mxe, was utterly beyond him: there was a haunting elusive something which was continually out of his reach. Occasionally, when he sold a pic ture, he would give "a time" to a dozen artist chums from studios near by, as they did whenever fortune fav ored them: after which he would paint again, on and on, with a really tre mendous perseverance. At length he obtained permission to make an exhibition of Ills work in a single room at the Art (lallery. The pictures were only ten In number, and some of them wore small, but they represented a hard year's work. When he superintended the hanging, on Sat urday morning, he was more nearly happy than he had ever been In his Hfe. The placard on the door, "The Hayward Inhibition Will Open Mon day," tilled him with pleasure. It was not a conceited feeling of Importan -e, but rather a happy consciousness that ae had done his best. At last he was suited with the ar rangement. The man went out with ctae ladder and wire, and he stood In Che center of the room, contemplating .he result. The landscape In the cor r might bo a little out of drawing, he thought, but the general public would not notice that. And the wo nan In white beside it, which he had christened "Purity," certainly showed 'o very good advantage. lie remera cured very well the day he had put :he finishing touches upon it, after the llgfot of revelry In which he had lelped Jennings and a dozen other el lows from neighboring studios to elebrate the sale of Jennings's "Study if a Head," and how he had thought it the time that he, who spent such lights, had no business to paint a lgure like this of "Purity." Aa he turned to leave the room, he w a gray gowned young woman, ho evidently did not know that the ictures were not as yet upon public .lew. She passed him as Bhe came In, ltb a rustle of silken skirts and a oollng odors of violets. Seeing the :ey of the room in his hand, .ie urned to him and said: "Pardon me, but can you tell me rhose pictures these are?" "These are Hayward's," he replied. "Hayward," she repeated after him, 3 If the name were wholly new to .er. "Hayward is n young artist and of urely local reputation," he explained. This Is his first public exhibition." She surveyed the collection without ay strong show of pleasure, unfil he omarked, "You don't sprm to think mch of his beginning." She was prompt In her answer. "No, do not. They seem to lack koiuc alng." He sighed inwardly. That old, old something!" Hayward's pictures all ;acked something,'" as was commonly dd of them; but what that something as, his Intimates his fellow urtlsts, ere not the kind to know. "What Is it, do you think?" he ;ked. "I don't know," she replied slowly f one knew the man, one might bo ile to tell." For the first time she looked him '.U in the face. lie saw nothing but r eyes, clear and honest, reading m through and through. "Yes," he answered, "If you knew te man, I think you could toll." "I'm not at all sure." she laughed, t's only a fancy of mine." Drawing a watch from her brlt, she oked surprised and turned away. lie itened until the silken rustle had .mpletely ceased. Then I.e too went it On the stair ho found a liaud rchlef. It was edged with lace, dfdl .tely scented with vioiet, and min ely marked In the corner: "Cou ance Grey." On Sunday night the studio building iere Hayward and others painted owed with light. The morrow's lenlng of "The Hayward Exhibition" ;jb being celebrated with "a time" - the expense of the artist. Glasses Inked and the air was heavy with noke. Two women from a vaudeville teatre near by made merry upon an upromptu stage. Everybody was -ippy except Hayward. The owner of ,e handkerchief was in his mind. He It that those eyes of hers, gray, deep -A tender though they were, m'ght 'aze with anger at a scene like this, lie handkerchief had no place In uch I atmosphere. He went over to his ookcaso and put It bet ween tl.e leaves i! his Tennyson, smiling as be caught fi words on the oposlte page: V man had given all other bliss ad all his worldly worth for this: . waste his whole heart In one kiss Upon her perfect Hps." Her handkerchief would feel more V home there, though, as he closed b book, he wondered what she would A, quick eye had followed him, and bob afterward its owner, Jennings, ok occasion to examine the volume. waved the handkerchief aloft tri umphantly. "Helgho, fellows! Hay lard's got a new mark for his clothes. ..ook here 'Constance Grey!' " Hayward was shaken with a m In led shame and anger that be could kbt explain, even to himself. The words and tone with which ho bade bis friend put the little thing back where be had found It were as hot as they were foolish. For a moment the two friends faced each other; then Jennings apologized and then Hay ward. In sparkling champagne they drank to good fellowship again. Hut the Incident was not without a certain subtle effect upon the celebration, and at 1 o'clock Hayward sat alone by bis easel, bis head buried In bis hands, a dainty handkerchief upon his lap, and before him the rapidly sketched out line of a face. He knew now why Jennings had an gered him. The shaft of light from a woman's eyes, which once strikes keep into the soul of every man, had at last come home to him. The "opening" was auspicious. Wealth and art alike were well repre sented. Toward the end of the evening a lady who had once sat for a portrait came up to him. ".Mr. Hayward," she said, "I want you to know my niece." He followed her into the next room, where a young lady sat on n divan. Her gray eyes were lifted to his face, and then suddenly lowered In con fusion. "Mr, Hayward," she said. "I am so much ashamed:" And when he tried to reassure her she answered: "Let's not talk about it: It's too humiliating." So they spoke of other things. He learned that she had come from a dis tant city to visit relatives, and the aunt Invited him to call upon them. Friday afemoon came at last, and Miss Grey and her aunt were at home. Other Fridays followed, and other days which served as well as Fridays. It was seldom that the girl looked hi in In the face; but when she did so he felt himself confessed before her a man with no right to touch even the hem of her garment, yet honoring her with every fiber of his being. They were much together, and Con stance took a frank enjoyment In bis friendship. He made every effort to please her, and one day they went Into the country. Constance was almost childishly happy, but the seeming per fection of her happiness distressed him when he learned that In very few days she wns to sail for Europe, pass the Summer and Autumn In travel, and. spend the Winter In Paris. At length they sat down under a gnarled oak tree and watched the light upon the river and in the sky. After some moments of silence Hay ward spoke. "I think you know the man now. Will you tell me what his pictures lack?" She hesitated. "I do not know the man well enough to say, but I will give you my art creed and let you Judge for yourself. I believe that a man's art Is neither more nor lesB than the expression of himself, and that in order to obtain an exalted ex pression his first business is with him self. Wrung living blunts, and eventu nlly destroys, the fundamental sense of right and wrong, without which a noble art Is Impossible. When a man's nrt is true, it is because he himself Is true. The true artist must be a man first and an artist afterward." Hayward took the admonition with a worshipper's meekness. Their conver sation ended with his declaration that he would not paint again until he had something in himself worthy to put Into the picture. j "You'll help me, won't you?" he asked. j Per eyes filled. "Indeed I will, If I I only can." He went home with love's fever in 1 his veins, she had promised to help him. and surely there was ouly one way. lie wrote her a hasty note, and an hour later his messenger brought her reply: "l'.elieve me, I never dreamed of this, and you know what my answer must be; but I do not need to tell you that whatever honest friendship can offer is already yours. "With deep regret, 1 am, as ever, ! "CONSTANCE GREY." The grim humor of tho thing stunned him momentarily, and he laughed harshly. Then he flung ra self down In a passion of grief. In the morning he took pen and paper again, after a night of sleepless dis tress. , "You cannot mean what you say. That white, womanly soul of yours must we'o to love me some day. You have stood between me and the depths, and there has been no shame in the life that I offer you since you came into it. Oh, you perfect thing, you perfect tiling, you don't know what you are to me! Constance, let me come!" The answer was promptly forthcom ing: "I cannot promise what you ask, but you may come and see me If you wish." Pale with expectancy. Hayward was only the ghost of himself when the servant admitted him. He had waited but a moment when Constance entered tho room in the gown in which be had seen her first. He roB8 to meet her, but she came and sat down be side him. "Listen," she said, "and I will tell you how I feel. I am twenty-five and I have never 'cared.' 1 do not believe that I ever shall care, for the love that we read of Is almost incomprehensible to me. You cannot marry such a wo man." It was very hard to say what she must. With an effort she rose and drew away from him. "I must be true to myself and to you," sbe said, "and I can say nothing but the old, bitter no." White and wretched, he went away; leaving her, white and wretched, be hind him. For days and weeks thereafter Hay ward painted busily. Jennings went to see him one afternoon. "Look here, old fellow," he said, "what's the matterT I know I was tingentlemanly about the handkerchief, but that Is no reason why you should cut us all this way. Can't you for get about it?" "Why, Jennings, old boy, I haven't cut anybody." "No, but you're tired of is, and you can't hide It. Come down the river with us to-night. The fellows have got a yacht, and we'll have supper on board, with plenty of champagne. Won't you come?" "Jennings," he said, "do I look like a man who would make good company at a champagne supper? You know what's the matter with me. Why don't you Just sensibly drop me?" Jennings begged and mocked and bullied, all In a good natured way, but his friend was firm. When be went out Hayward locked the studio door and drew his half finished picture from behind a curtain. "She was right," he said to himself. Constance sailed. He dreamed of his picture as being hung In the Salon and of her seeing It there, lty and by it was finished. It crossed the water, and the dream he had dreamed came true. When Constance looked upon Hay ward's painting her heart leaped as though It would leave her breast. White, radiant and gtorlfled, It was she herself who stood In the center of the picture. That self-reliant, fearless pose seemed to radiate an Infinite calm. Behind her raged the powers of darkness, utterly helpless to pass the line on which she stood. Her face seemed to illumine the shadows around "her; her figure was instinct with grace and strength. Helow the picture was the name: "A White Shield." The beauty of the conception dawned upon her slowly. Pale and trembling she stood there, forgetful of place, and the things around her. At length she knew what she meant to him; that his art at last rang true because be had loved her enough to be a man for her sake. She dared not linger before It then, but she came again wheu the place was empty, and stood before her lov er's work like one In a dream. The fiends in the shadow showed her the might of the temptations he had fought down. She gazed at her own glorified face until her eyes tilled with tears. With a great throb which was almost pain, Constance woke to the knowledge that she loved him, even as he loved her; well enough to stand between hlin end danger till she herself should fall. The old gray guard, passing through the room, saw her upturned face In that moment of exaltation. It was the same that he saw lu the picture above, and be quietly went away to wait un til Constance came out, her face flushed and her eyes shining like stars before he locked the door. That night the cable trembled with a message to America. It reached Hayward the next morning as he sat rending the morning paper. The en velope fluttered unheeded to the tloor, and his face grew tender as he read tho few words which told him that hia picture had rewarded bis love. "Wait," he said to the messenger boy. Hurriedly he wrote the answer: "Sail next steamer" then, utterly oblivious of tho additional expense, he added another word, which must have been very expressive, for Constance turned crimson when It reached her perhaps because the discerning genius who copies cablegrams In typewriting had put the last words In capitals, thinking that the message came from a Mr. Harling. HIS BAGGAGE WAS AFIRE. A Trolley Car Wouldn't Let the Tinker Aboard, but a Horse Car Took Him. An Itinerant tinker with an urmful of soldering Irons and his little port able furnace full of live coals created so much diversion at tho bridge en trance the other day that a lot of folks didn't care whether they caught the next car or not. The tinker wanted to go uptown on a Second avenue car. The conductor did'nt think that a glow ing fire was proper hand baggage un der the rules and would'nt let the tinker get aboard. There was a scrap on the step of the rear platform in which the conductor got a hard Jab with a stick of solder. The tinker had one sleeve torn out of bis coat, but retreated in good order without drop ping an iron or spilling a single coal. The conductor cussed and rang for full speed ahead. The tinker did'nt say a word, not even the proverbial "dam," which his trade entitled him to. The old man who mends things tried the next car with no better results. He swung bis fire pot and caught one con ductor on the shin, and got away with out a scratch. Then he got abroad an E. Broadway horse car, where he con ductor wasn't so particular. Alexander F.

Louis Satisfied With Increase A Boston, Mass., despatch says: The "committee of fifteen," which will manage the campaign in Mas sachusetts against the Royal Arca num new rate", and take the initia tive in urging other states to tollow its example, held its first meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Tho supreme secretary, Mr. Robson, fired a counter shot by the announce ment that Western states are in dorsing the new rates. The Regents' Association of St. Louis, Mo , and vicinity, composed of the heads of twenty seven subor dinate councils in and about St. Louis has sent him the following resolutions: "We, the undersigned regents of the various councils of the Royal Arcanum in St. Louis Mo., and vicinity, after thorough investiga tion, regard the new rates as adopt ed by the Supreme Council of the order, at its recent session, as just, scientifically equitable, timely and necessary to perpetuate the Royal Arcanum for all time. , "We heartily commend them to the favorable consideration of our entire membership, as well as to those desiring to connect them selves with a safe and sound fra ternity." Other councils which have just sent in their indorsement of the new rates are: Philadelphia council, one of the largest iu Pennsylvania; Misselmtowu council, Fillemore council, of Buffalo, N. Y.; Sandy Hill, N. Y and Kingsboro, N. Y. The meeting of the "committee of fifteen" was private. Why a Oircus Draws Crowds By this time almost every person living in this city and throughout the adjacent territory for many miles knows that the great Sells and Downs show will exhibit in Bloomsburg Thursday, July 27. The Sells & Downs Show is a circus, and an up to-date circus. Kvery detail connected with its pre sentation of a lengthy but novel program is carefully executed with an eye single to the satisfaction of the circus patrons. With it may be seen twenty-five clowns, who are ably assisted by clowu pigs, clown dogs, clown monkeys, and clown donkeys. From the entrance of the "Rube" clown when its doors open, to the farewell salute by the graceful prince of fools during the races, the little folks are sure of wholesome amusement. While the Sells & Downs Show has usual drawing power of a cir cus, it also possesses unusual mag netism in the way of securing pa tronage, because of its unequaled popularity. The old time and reg ular circus goers always notice something new and refreshing about the Sells & Downs circus. New and novel features which are far above the ordinary predominate in the Sells & Downs program, while it is very noticeable that the so-called "old" or ordinary acts have been carefully elevated and improved, so much so that even what have been considered common and worn out acts have been raised to a plane of merit and attractive ness almost as high as that of the feature of features. The result is inevitably the same iu all cities, the patrons of the Great Sells & Downs Show are agreeably sur prised and delighted. Nobody complains of seeing "the same old thing" when leaving the tents. The "same old thing" is never with the Sells & Downs Show. To Eett'ie Suit by Dividing Horse Alderman Donohue, of Wilkes Barre, whose Solomonesque judg ments have made him famous, tried a case Saturday to settle the dis puted ownership of a horse. As the two claimants would not come to an agreement, the alder man asked Joseph Gutman, the de fendant, what part or the horse he would take. He would like "the hind part," he responded. " Then the front part goes tojthe prosecutor," the alderman declared, "and I will take the hoofs and iron shoes." The next moment he called a constable and ordered him to shoot the horse, whereupon both defend ant and prosecutor began pleading vigorously for its life, aud the aider man gave them four days in which to settle the case. The life insurance companies are credited with paying out in the country last year the immense sum of $3-10,090,000. These are big figures but they are not equal to the amounts collected during the same period by the companies. Really it begins to look as though the people will make themselves poor paying for this sort of protection.

William Julia streets Can't Spend Money to Build Platform It wns discovered on Thursday that Wilkes Barre has no legal right tc spend money for erecting a platform on which President Roose velt may make his address when lie goes there 011 August 10. The question was referred to Solicitor McIIttgh for investigation, and, while he found no law permit ting or forbidding it, he discovered that citizens of Ilarrishurg had raised the point in 1877, when President Hayes was to visit there, and the court had sustained the citizens and ordered the Council net to spend the money, on the ground that there was no appiopri ation for the purpose. Consequently Wilkes Barre will not erect the platform, and it will be built and paid for by the Cath olic Total Abstinence Union and the Mine Workers, whose guest the President will be, Town of 200 That (Jau't Grow With a population of 200, New ! Salem borough, near York, has not I had a birth in over a year, and but few children reside in that town. There are 58 families and 17 widows in the town; one-fourth of the population has passed the age of fifty years. Nine persons have passed the age of four score, and 19 three score and ten. The older residents of the place still talk of the ravages of a lung disease which carried off seme twen ty men about eighteen years ago. These men all worked in a flint mill and were unable to stand the dust. Wheat f.ess Than a Pull Orop The farmers who are just now in the midst of wheat hat vesting, have made the discovery that the crop will not be a full one, probably not measure up to more than three fourths of a crop. The heads are said to be well filled, but the wheat stands thinly on the ground and the straw is short. Farmers do not know, what to attribute the failure to unless it be to the slight drought which pre vailed for a while iu tlu Spring. The same report comes from over a wide section of the country. All the Money in Oalifornia is not from its gold fields. For tunes are made from the wheat fields and the fruit farms. Why not investigate the chances there?
