I One afternoon , when the picture tu nearly
finished, Jehn Lennex went Inte tha empty
pointing room te ascertain the degree of 1U
progress. Beth Baxter and Marian had ex
pressed a wish that he should net Me it in Its
early stages, and till, accordingly, was hit
first view. Half an hour after he had en
tered the room, Baxter came in, unan
nounced, and found him sitting before the
canvas, deep in thought. Baxter had been
furnished with a heuse key, te that he might
have immediate and easy access te his work
whenever the humor came upon him.
"I was passing," be said, "and I couldn't
resist tbe lmpulse te come in and correct an
error which I made this morning, new that
a sense of its enermlty is fresh In my mind."
He sat down te work, and the ether steed
watching him."
"Well," said the painter, finally, "hew doet
it satisfy yeuP
"Net altogether."
"Pray develop your objections. It' In
your power materially te assist me."
"I hardly knew hew te formulate my ob
jections. Let me, at all erenU, lu the first
place, say that I admire your work im
mensely. I'm sure it's the best picture you've
painted."
"I honestly believe it is. Seme parts of it,"
said Baxter, frankly, "ero excellent."
"It's obvious. But either theso very parts
or ethers are singularly disagreeable. That
word isn't criticism, I knew; but I pay you
for the right te be arbitrary. They are tee
hard, tee strong, of tee frank a reality. In
a word, your plcture frightens me, and if I
were Marian I should f eel as if you'd dena
me a certain violence."
"I'm sorry for what's disagrceblej but I
meant it ill te be real. I go in for reality;
you must have seen that."
"Inpproveyou; I can't tee much admire
the breed and firm methods you're taken for
reaching this same reality. But you can be
real without being brutal without attempt
ing, as one mey say, te be actual."
"I deny that I'm brutal I'm afraid, Mr.
Lennex, I haven't taken quite the right read
te plcase you. I've taken the plcture tee
much au sprieux 1'va striven tee much tat
completeness. But if it doesn't plcase you It
will plcase ethers."
"I've no doubt of it. But that isn't' the
question. The plcture is geed enough te be
a thousand times better."
"That the picture leaves room for infinite
Improvement, I, of ceurse, don't deny; and,
in several particulars, I soe my way te make
it better. But, substantially, the portrait is
there. I'll tell you what you miss. My work
isn't 'classical ,' in fine,-I'm net a man of
genius."
"Ne; I rather suspect you nre. But, as
you say, your work isn't classical. I adhere
te my term brutal. Shall I tell you? It's
tee much of a study. You'te given peer
Miss Everett the leek of a professional
model."
"If that's the case I've dene very wrong.
There never was an easier, a less conscious
sitter. It's delightful te leek at her."
"Confound it, you've given all her ease,
tee. Well, I don't knew what's tbe matter.
I give up."
"I think," said Baxter, "you had better
held your verdict in abeyance until the plct plct
ueo is finished. The classical clement is
there, I'm sure; but I've net brought it out.
Wait a few days, and it will rise te the sur
face." Lennex left tbe artist alene; and the latter
took up bis brushes and painted hard till
nightfall. lie laid them down only when it
was tee dark te sce, As he was going out,
Lennex met him In the hall.
"Exegi menumeutum," said Baxter; "it's
finished. Ge and leek at your ease. I'll
come te-morrow and bear your impressions."
The master of the heuse, when the ether
had geno, lit half a dozen lights and re
turned te the study of the plcture. It had
grown prodigiously under the painter's re
cent handling, and whether it was that, as
Baxter had said, the classical element bad
disengaged itself, or that Lennex was in a
mere sympathetic mood, it new impressed
him as an original and powerful work, a
genuine portrait, the deliberate image of a
human face and figure.. It was Marian, in
very truth, and Marian most patiently meas
ured and observed. Her beauty was there,
her sweetness, and her young loveliness and
her aerial grace, imprisoned forever, made In
violable and perpetual. Nothing could be
mere, simple than the conception and com
position of the plcture. Tbe figure sat peace
fully, looking slightly te the right, with the
head erect and the bands the virginal hands,
without rings or bracelets lying idle en its
knees. Tbe blonde hair was gathered into a
little knot of braids en the top of the
head (in the fashion of the mement),
and left frce the almost childish contour
of the ears and cheeks. The eyes were
full of color, contentment and light; the lips
wcre faintly parted. Of color in the picture,
there was, in strictness, very little; but the
dark draperies told of reflected sunshine, and
be flesh spaces of human blushes and pallers,
of throbbing life and health. The work was
strong and simple, the figure was thoroughly
void of affectation and st illness, and yet
supremely elegant.
"That's what it is te be an artist," thought
Lennex. "All this has been dene in the past
two hours."
It was bis Marian, assuredly, with all that
had charmed him with all that still charmed
him when he saw her: her appealing confi
dence, her exquisite lightness, her feminine
enchantments. And yet, as he looked, an
expression of pain came into his eyes, and
lingered there, und grew into a mortal heavi
ness. Lennex had been as truly a lever as a man
maybe; but be loved with the discretion of
fifteen years' cxpcrlence of human affairs.
He bad a penetrating glance, and he liked te
use it. Many a time when Marian, with elo
quent lips and eyes, bed poured out the treas
ures of her nature into his besom, and be hed
taken them in his bands and covered them
with kisses and passionate vows; he bad
dropped them all with a sudden shudder and
cried out in silence, "But ah! where is the
heart T One day he had said te her (irrele
vantly enough, doubtless), "Marian, where is
your heartr
"Where what de you meant" Mia Everett
had said.
"I think of you from morning till night. I
put you together and take you apart, as peo
ple de in that frame- where they make words
out cf a parcel of given letters. But there's
always one letter wanting. I can't put my
hand en your heart."
"My heart, Jehn," said Marian, ingen
iously, "is the whole word. My heart'! every
where." This may have been true enough. MIs
Everett had distributed her heart impartially
throughout her whole organism, se that, as a
natural consequence, iU native seat was
somewhat scantily occupied. As Lennex sat
and looked at Baxter's consummate handi
work, the same question rose again te his
lips; and if Marian's portrait suggested it,
Marian's portrait failed te answer it. It took
Marien te de that. It seemed te Lennex that
some strangely potent agency had wen from
his mistress the confession of her inmost
soul, and had written it there upon the can
vas in firm yet passionate lines. Marian's
person was lightness her charm was light
ness; could it be that her soul was levity tool
Was she a creature- without faith and with
out conscience! What cUe was the meaning
of that horrible blankness and deadncss that
quenched the light in her eyes and stele away
the smile from her lips I These things were
the less te be eluded because in many respects
the pointer had been profoundly Just. He
had been as loyal and sympathetica he had
been intelligent. Net a point in tbe young
girl's appearance had been slighted; net a
feature but had been forcibly and delicately
rendered. Had Baxter been a man of mar
velous insight au unparalleled observer; or
hed he been a mere patient and unflinching
painter, building infinitely better than be
knew I Would net a mere painter have been
content te paint Miss Everett in the strong,
rich, ebjective manner of which the work
was se geed an example, and te de nothing
morel for it was evident that Baxter had
den mere. He had painted with something
mgre than kuewledge-wiln (maginjUM,
wuazeeimg. neuaaannesT compesed: ana
his composition had embraced the truth.
Lennex was unable te satisfy his doubts, fie
would have been glad te believe that there
was no Imagination in the picture but what
his own mind supplied; and that the unsub
stantial sweetness en the eye and lips of the
Image was but the smile of youth and Inno
cence. He was in a muddle he was absurdly
suspicious and capricious; he put out the
lights aud lift the portrait In kindly dark
ness. Then, half as a reparation te his mis
tress, and half as a satisfaction te himself, he
went up te spend an hour with Marian. She,
t least, as he found, had no scruples. 8he
thought the portrait altogether a success,
and she was very willing te be handed down
In that form te posterity. Nevertheless,
when Lennex came in he went back Inte
the painting room te take another glance.
This time he lit but a single light Faugh I
it was werse than with si dexen. He hastily
turned out the gas.
Baxter came the next day, as he had
premised. Meanwhile peer Lennex had had
twelve hears of uninterrupted reflection, and
the expression of distress in his eyes had ac
quired an intensity which, tbe painter saw,
proved it te be of far ether Impert than a
tnere tribute te his power.
"Can the man be jealeusl" thought Bax
ter. Btcphu had been se Innocent of any
ether design than that of painting a goecT
portrait, that bis conscience failed te reveal
te him the source of his companion's trouble
Nevertheless, he began te pity him. He had
felt tempted, indeed, te pity him from the
first. He had liked him and esteemed him;
he bad taken him for a man of sense and
of feeling, and he had thought it a matter of
regret that such a man a crjature of strong
spiritual needs should link his destiny with
that of Marian Everett. But he had very
seen tnade up his mind that Lennex knew
very well what he was about, and that he
needed no enlightenment. He was marrying
with his eyes open and had weighed the risks
against the profits. Every one had his par
ticular taste, and at 85 years of age Jehn
Lennex had no need te be told that Miss
Everett was net quite all that she might
be. Baxter had thus taken for granted
that his friend had designedly selected
as his second wife a mere pretty woman a
woman with a genius for receiving company,
and who would make a plcturesque use of his
money. He knew nothing of the serious
character of the peer man's passion, nor of
the extent te which his happiness was bound
up in what the painter would have called his
delusion. His only concern had been te de
his work well; and s had dene it better be
cause of his old interest in Marian's be
witching face. It is very certain that
he had actually infused into his pict
ure that force of characterization
and that depth of reality which had
arrested his friends' attention; ibut he
hed done se wholly without effort or with
out malice. The artistie half of Baxter's na
ture exerted a lusty dominion ever the hu
man half fed upon its disappointments anA
grew fat upon its joys and tribulations
This, indeed, is simply saying that the young
man was a true artist. Beep, then, in thg
unfathomed recesses of his strong and sensi
tive nature, his genius had held commun
ion with his heart and had transferred te
canvas the burden of its disenchantment and
its resignation. Bince his little affair with
Marian, Baxter had made the acquaintance
of a young girl whom be felt that he could
love and trust forever; and, sobered and
strengthened by this new emotion, he had
been able te rectimewith mere distinctness
the shortcomings of his earlier love. He had,
therefore, painted with feeling. Miss Everett
could net have expected him te de other
wise He had done his honest best, and con
viction had come in unbidden and made it
better.
Lennex had begrn te feel very curious
about the history of bis companion's ac
quaintance with his destined bride; but he
was far from feeling jealous. Somehow he
felt that he could never again be jealous.
But in ascertaining the terms of their for
mer intercourse, it was of importance that he
should net allow the young man te suspect
he had discovered in the portrait any radical
defect.
"Your old acquaintance with Miss Ever
ett," he said, frankly, "has evidently been of
great use te you."
"I suppose it has," said Baxter." "Indeed,
as seen as I began te jwiint, I found her face
coming back te me llke a half remembered
tune. She was wonderfully pretty at that
time."
"She was two years younger."
"Yes, and I was two years younger. De
cidedly, you are right. I have made use of
my old impressions."
Baxter was willing te confess te se much;
but he resolved net te betray anything that
Marian had herself kept secret. He was net
surprised that she had net told her lever of
her former engagement; be expected as
much. But he would have held it inexcusa
ble te attempt te repair her emission. .4
