"Cotno Pearle!" tho father said.
But the girl stood entranced, hef cVea
fixed upon a man's face sealed nt Iho far

handsome face, even when wearing, as it
now aid, an expression of calm, born of des

cheek or lips.
His eyes shono with n strango and hard

into the still night nir and send a bullet

childlike loveliness. His first impulse was
to return her offering ho was not vet an
alms taker, but ngaiu rang out the
croupier's cry of comniaud to place tho
BU1KCS.
Tho child stood breathless in her eaeer
expectancy, her eyes burning with feverish
Interest.
V sudden impulso overmaslercd him.
Without speaking a word, he placed the
gold upon the table.
The next minute a small pile of gold was
at his elbow. Ho staked it all nmiifl.
Again ho won. A bricht snot of scarlet re
placed the pallor In his cheek, which spread
net deepened ns Dame Fortune, who had so
pcrslsteptly frowned uimn him, now reserv

nun a great weight lifted from heart and
brain, Harold Clayton vowed that It should
be his life-search, but that the lesson taught
im should never ba forgotten, nnd the
gaming tables should knott him never
more.
Six years passed, and Harold Clayton was
winning name and fame In his own land,In
his profession as an artist.
Standing one night In a crowded assera
bly, some one in txissing touched him lightly
on the arm with her fan, and, glancing
round, be met the smiling face of his
hosless.
"Cornel" she said, "I Want la present
you to my belle. If you can petall upon
her to gite you a sitting, and transfer her
coloring to canvas, you will render yourself
mmoTtal.,'
"Is she then BO beautiful" ho nues
tioned.
'Judge fof yourself," she lightly rejoined,
lending him to a little groap doing homage
to the fair clrl in its centre.
"Jllss Ravbam Mr. Clayton," Were the
formal Words of the introduction, as Harold
bowed in acknowledgement before the wo
man, Whom his artistic eye confessed the
most beautiful that In ell his wandcrftlgs he
had ever met.
Before the ef cnfng" was ended he might
have added the woman whom he hod ever
loted, .since ste had awakened In him an
Interest ns new as it was strange.
Through the pcxt week her face haunted
hfm. Then they met again, and the charm
grew and deepened. He could not define
it, he scarcely acknowledged it to himself;
only away from. M(s Raybdrn he was
restless aud uneasy, until he again found
hnuaelt wilbiu tho scope ol her lawiua-
UOlll,
Yet her nature remained an enigma to
him. Although so yuuug in years, so
bcautilul in lorui aud texture, she seemed
cold een to haughtiness reticent almost to
scorn.
It was as though some exquisite marble
statue had riseu in bis pathway, which
might some day warm into life.
She welcomed hun whenever they met
with a manner which, while it gave htm no
immk
1.00
cause for complaint, yet ehllied the hope
springing within Ills breast.
One day, on going to her bottle, the ser
vant met hlnl at the door with theunnounco
nient that slid was was very ill. This
knowledge brought ether knowledgi
fact that he could nd lbnger conceal from
himself that he loved her, andthaton hi:
hope of winning her hung his life's happi
noss.
Ho Went beck to tho studio, wretched on
despairing, and sealed himself at his easel,
He had not meant to paint her facd hi
brain seemed unconselodj of his fingcrs-toi
yet, when the morning broke, it was her
realures smiling Upon him from tho canvas,
and ho remembered tho words his hostess
had uttered on tho night he first had met
her that IhUs shbUld he render himself
Immortal.
Ho grew pale and wan In tho days of
anxious suspense, when those who watched
oyer her couch know not which would con
qiler, the ailgcl of life or death. But there
came an hour, never to be forgotten, when
ho was admitted into her prcsetice.
She Was Very while. Very fragile, but
more beautiful than in tho coloring of per
fect hcallhi A ncW cAtirc33idH, too, was iu
tho yiolct eyes talscd to wclc&rrlo him.
"I am very glad to meet you again," she
said, gently. "I hear you have been anx.
lous about mo. You were ycry kind.'
Then the words he had not Meant to
speak burst Irom his lips,
"Anxious?" he said. "Can a man Miss
Ray bitrni perishing of hunger, hear of tho

life, with its many scaled pages in which

Lower and lower drooped tho lids, until
tho long dark lashos swept the marble
cheek, while the sweet mouth trembled ;
but tho momentary Weakness passed ns sho
spokei
"Forget all that you have said, Mr. Clay
ton. It can never be."
"You do not love mo?" ho questioned,
sadiy.
Again that sWift expression of pain flitted
across the lovely face.
"I shall never marry," sho answered j
"but," and in her voice crept an almost
pleading tone, "I need my friends very
much, Mr. Clayton. Do not desert me 1"
"I cannot," he replied. "To desert you
would be to desert the hope of one day
forcing you to unsay your cruel words the
hope which will go with me to my grave.
V hat was the barrier between them? This
was the question ever ringing in Harold
Clay son's car. As she looked when Bhe
pronounced his doom, so ho had fancied she
(night have looked When tho statue warmed
into life.
Since then, she had been colder, more
distaht, tbatl before ) but ho had caught tho
momentary expression, and transferred it
to the picture on which his every leisure
moment was spent.
He was thus engrossed, one morning,
ever striving to add new beauty to his al
most perfect work, when a loW knock at the
loor aroused hlffl.
"Como in 1" ho called, then bent arieW to
llis task, Without so much as raising his
head, until a low, laughing voice sounded
close beside him,
Wo Were caught in the shower, Mr.
Clayton, and I persuaded Margaret to seek

would find herself forestalled,"
It was Mrs. Somefs Who spoke -tho lady
Who had first presented him to Miss Ray-

to bcr, carried out.
"Margaret," sho added, turning to her
friend, "you haVe been sitting for your por
trait, and did not let me know. WAy have
you kept it such a secret?"
He had tlotr sptung to his feet In time to
see the rosy tide spread over Margaret Boy
burn's face.
" It Was a liberty I took without Miss
Rayburn's knowledge, Mrs, Somers," he
explained. "I assure you I have never been
so fortunate as to secure a sitting."
" Well, you shall have ono nuW, and you
must thank me for it," she rejoined, while
Margaret turned away to examine the
sketches and studies lying about in profuso
confusion.
"Here ore some sketches taken while I
was studying abroad, Miss Rayburn," said
Harold, "Will you amuse yourself by look
ing at them 7"
"I will return In a few moments?" in
terrupted Mrs. Somers. "Wait for me, my
dear."
A word of expostulation rose to Margar
et's lips, but too late. The door bad closed
behind the speaker.
Silence fell between the two thus lcR be
hind, when a low cry arrested Harold's
attention. He sprang to Miss Rayburn's
side.
Her eyes were fixed upon a Utile sketch
she held in ber hand. It represented a
gaming-Uble, at one end of which sat a
man, haggard, desperate, despairing, and
by him a ebild, holding out to him a single
gold-piece, With a emile in btr oyes, and
seemingly a prayer on her lips.
" You would a now the historf of thut

A correspondent of u Philadelphia daily,
writiHg from Oil City, thus briefly sketches
tho History of the now Universally used no.
iroicum :
-
In 1844 petroleum was Used as a mcdi
cine. At that time, and up to 1853, it wns
known as Seneca Oil, probably on account
ol its having been found on the surface
Seneca Lake, and having first been Used by
mo oeneca inaia'is as a medicine.
The mode of obtalnlmr this oil. ot iw .
, !.. ... . ' '
riou oi its History, was by throWlUe blanket..
on the surface of tho etlll water where the
oil was wont to accumulate, and after thev
had become saturated to remove theM and
extract the oil by wringine the blankets.
From this primitive- beginning has crown
ono oi mo lending industries of tho 6talc.
It was not, however, until tho year 1883-4
that petroleum began to bo valued as nn
HUnilriator, and this only in a limited wav
for it was then burned in its crude slato in
o,d lard oil lamps, which were liable to ex-
plode at any tunc.
Between 1851-7 it bccameknowtl thottho
explosive qualities of this product could be
removed be subjecting it to a process of dis
illation, and lrom that time its value be-
gan to bo recognized. Hero a difficulty
rose. Tho oil could not bo eatherod in
sufficient quantities to supply tho demand,
nu something must bo done or the new in-
ustry would loll through. Accordinelv. in
tho year 1858 a joint stock company was
urgamzeu ior mo purpose of boring into tho
rock in quest of tho now valuable oil, and

The facilities for boring the hard rook at

these difficulties to contend with the work

lilled to within five inches of tho surface,
