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."

Inked and the air was heavy with
noke. Two women from a vaudeville
teatre near by made merry upon an
upromptu stage. Everybody was

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.

Endorse New Arcanum Rates
Regent of Tweuty. Seven Subordinate
Council! In SI. 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,

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.

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?
