CHAPTER XVIIL
TBB PICTURE.
"Excellent, excellent!" was Muxoy's
dntiriug cry.
Dr. Lamar onjtisted his eyeglass to
have a better look at it. The ohandelier
blazed at its fullest In the front parlor.
The picture wns placed on an eaBel in
the projecting Window space, and all
four stood back a little way to behold
it. Iiss Maxey'i arm was about An
nette's waist, and she expressed the sen
timent tlm work had awakened ill her
by an oooasioual admiring squeeze.
Maxey was simply radiant. Dr. Lamar
Was impressed, lmt puzzled. Mrs. Maxey
RppCaved both pleased and frightened
by the warmth of the roceptiou of her
latest atti mpt
It was a lifoftiso ske tch in craven of a
strong and charactoristic face, some
what shadowy and ghostlike in its ef
fect, but so bold and striking in concep
tion and execution that it commanded
and held the attention.
"I don't know so much about tho
technique of art as I ought)" comment
ed Dr. Lamar, "but it strikes me that
yon have handled your subject remark
ably well, Mrs. Maxey. Notwithstand
ing the curious, vaguo and misty atmos
phere which you have managed to throw
about it, tho picture impresses you as a
reality."
"That's it exactly ("exclaimed Maxey.
"That is jnst the soul of fmo art. It is
a recreation of nature. I claim that this
Is a masterpiece. I shall tako it to tho
Studio tomorrow and hang it, up in a
conspicuous place. "
Mrs. Maxey started.
"Oh, no! Don't do that, please."
"Why not, I should like to know?"
"Becausi I would rather yon did
not."
I)r, Lamar turned from a contempla
tion of the picture to a wondering scru
tiny of tho young wife's features. There
was an unmistakable scared look in her
face.
"Why, yon silly little goose!" ex
claimed Maxey, with a laugh, "What
are you afraid of?"
"Oh, I'm not afraid! Only I would
rather not have this picture put up in a
public place. It is hi tter to wait until
1 have done something more worthy'
"Nonsense." said Maxey. "This is One
of your attacks of modesty. Yon will
think better of it in the morning."
"And this is nobody's face?" ques
tioned Lamar gravely. His eyes were
still tixed on the young wife's features.
"A fancy sketch simply," returned
Maxey. "That is why I think so highly
of it. I call it remarkable."
"It is remarkable," agreed Lamar.
"Where did you get the idea, Mrs.
Maxey?"
The seared look on her face deepened,
but she forced an uneasy laugh and re
plied: "What a question I How does any
body get an original idea?"
"Pure originality is a delusion," said
tho philosophic physician. "Wo could
trace the most startling innovations if
we had the means at hand. But in this
case you must be able to tell when you
first saw this face which you have put
upon the canvas. Did yon sit, down to
sketch with any dl Unite idea in mind,
or did it eomo to von as you were draw
ing it?"
"Oh, tho face was in my mind liefore
I thought of sketching it. "
"When did you tirst lieeonte aware of
its being in your mind?"
"How ridioulousi"
Mrs. Maxey again laughed nervnnsly.
Dr. Lamar's steady gaze had con
fused her. Her glance was averted. Her
wh(4e appearance indicated that this
persistent questioning was extremely
distasteful to her.
Maxey and his sister naturally attrib
uted nil this wholly to her natural shy
ness. "What are you up to now, Eustace?"
UUghod Maxey. "Home new metaphys
ical theory, I suppose. Haven't you done
experimenting on my wife yet?"
Whatever his theory was, or however
gnat his desire for experiment, Dr La
mar kept it to himself. He voluntarily
changed tho subject by reminding them
that Miss Maxey had promised to sin;,'.
They went into the back room to gath
er around tho piano, leaving the portrait
under tho full glare of the gaslight.
Later in the evening the door softly
opened, and Lamar came in. Ho wanted
to see this strange picture alone and un
disturbed. Ho stood back, looking at it.
In that steady light, the ghostlike, face
seemed to float as through a misty space.
The ghontlike face, tamed to float.
What was it that made it so remark
able? For it was a remarkable face. Tho
features were stern and grim, fixed nnd
full of hard lines. It, was not, that It
was tho face of a man of strong charac
ter. It was the embi idiinent of relentless-
jiess and determination, It was not that.
It spoke volumes for tho mental strength,
but never a word for tenderness or ven
eration. It was an utterly unscrupulous
face. It was not that. The eyes glared.
Tho lips parted its if the breath eomo
too quickly for tho nostrils alone
Ah, that was it I Tho expression I No
man ever sat for his portrait with his
foatnres cast in a mold such as this.
This made tho novelty imd tho strange
ness. It was such a look as the human
face sometimes in trreat emerceucies. in

a time of high pulse and excitement,
Wears for a fleeting instant. Nowhere
OUtside a madhouse could it become tix
ed and changeless.
Yes, that was it indeed. The perp t
uation of the expression of a moment,
like the work of instantaneous photog
raphy, with all the latent power and
Reuse of breathlessncss that Such a fact
involves.
The brows were contracted info a
deep scowl. The thin lips seemed al
most to quiver, and with its staring
eyes and changeless look in the gl ue of
the gaslight this fearful countenance,
seemed to float on through space.
The sound of music came from the
other room. Miss Maxey was singing
the "Ave Maria. "
Dr. Lamar felt himself safe from in
terruption. An odd fancy, suggested
perhaps by the peculiar character of the
subjoct, came to him. Ho reached np
nnd turned off the gas jets one by one
till but a single light remained. Ho re
duced this until it was the feeblest
spark and stepped back to see the effect
There was a tire in the open grate.
The light of the coals flickered and fell,
and the room was full of shadows. lint
the f;uv! Truly the lip quivers! And
the eyes! Did they not move? The
scowl I Does it not deepen? Barely this
cannot be water through which if looks?
But a moment ago Me was space. Now
it S""ms as if the tide were flowing
the Steady and relentless tide and as
It flows its ceaseless motion causes the
Soft tlesh to tremble. The eyes seem to
grow hollow, to fade away, leaving un
tenanted cavities, and its this happens
the quivering lips break Into a mocking
leer. A fierce breath from tho unseen
river rises to rap with a hollow rattle at
tho windows. The sound breaks the
Spell.
Horrified at his own sensations, La
mar turned and hurried from the room.
When Dr. Lamar rejoined the party
in the next room, ho found Mrs. Maxey
in tears.
"Did yon notice how affected she
was?" Ellen asked him in on undertone.
"Dy what':"
"By the singing of Schubert's 'Ave
Maria.' Don't, yon remember, it was
the song that made her faint in the old
day s? I have never sung it since, Some
how I thought of it tonight, and imme
diately we found her crying. And it
seems it WOS something her mother
used to sing. "
"Ah! Dr. Bontly was right then. It
was a reminiscence."
There was a kmick at the door. Max
ey answered it. Ho dosed the entrance
to the rear chamber after him and turn
ed up the gas iii the vestibule before he
opened it to his visitor.
He was seized with a sudden trem
bling at the knees when he saw who that
visitor was. Paler, ghastlier, more fu
nereal than ever, the melancholy Dye,
whose woebegone hat and threadbare
coat exhibited a still deeper shade of
desolation, stood upon the threshold
"Yon again?"
"Sir, again."
"In spite of all that I told yon?"
"Sir, I havovborne your Instructions
well in mind. I hnvo forgotten nothing.
It remains for you to say whether ybu
will admit me or no. "
Mr. Dye did not look at Maxey when
ho addressed him In truth, be did not
seem to have energy or spirit enough
left to raise his head, and he certainly
did not appear at all anxious to bo in
vited Into the room.
The giou-iug conviction that this man
was not tho prime mover, but only the
instrument in (he hand-, of a more pow
erful personage who kept himself al
ways in the background, leaped to a
most mature stage in the artist's mind
"Admit you!" hi exclaimed, suppress
ing the tendency to loudness in his
tones for fear of reaching the oars in
the adjoining chamber. "That I shall
do most certainly, since yon have com .
Walk in, Mr. Dye, and stnto your busi
ness, and let US see if We cannot come
to something approrching a mutual un
derstanding. That is a point which we
have fun long been dodging about, Mr.
Dye, and I have a very distinct idea that
it would bo well for ns to roach it to
night" Tho somber man raised a look of mild
Inquiry to the artist's face, said sim
ply, "As you will." and pat Bed into the
parlor.
Maxey closed and locked the door and
turned on two of the gas jets.
Then he noticed that Mr. Dye was
trembling. It was a chilly evening, and
it occurred to him that the threadbare
coat could not be very warm.
"You ore oold, man, 1 ' he said. "Draw
up hero by the lire. "
He placed a choir as he spoke in front,
of tho open grate. Mr. Dye bowed
gravely;
"Sir, I thank you. "
He had only looked at Maxey him: elf.
He sat down with his back to the picture
and began nt. once to warm his hands
over the coals. He did not wait, for the
artist toqnestion him, but immediately,
with his most oratorical air, began:
"Sir, you are doubtless exceedingly
snrprisifl and, may I venture to add.
not inconsiderably annoyed by my reap
pearance in this house. When I went
away from here, sir, you adjured me,
upon pain of personal Injury, never, ex
cept npon certain conditions, to appear
in your presence again. But at the risk
of that personal injury I have once more,
and for the last time, come. Upon a
former occasion I might have feared
you; but, strange nnd paradoxical as if
may seem, llow that I am much weaker
and less capable of self defense I 110
longer dread the violence of your re
sentment." "Well, ' ' said Maxey impatiently as he
paused, "have you come hero to chal
lenge mo? If not, phase eomo to the
point"
"Sir, yon must pardon me, but I can
not ho abrupt. Before I come to the
point I want to prepare you for what I
am going to say by recalling, perhaps
unnecessarily, a fact to your mind. Sir,
I told you on a former occasion that I
was a contemptible rascal. Bearing that
in mind, my business here tonight will
not very much r-unirisn yon. Lost to
honor and self respect and to every sen
timent which makes n man a man, yon
will not be astonished when I tell you
what I have come to tell. If, when I have
told it, you wish to throw ine to the
street and break every bone in my
worthless body, I shall not resist you.
In fact, I could not if 1 would. I am too
weak, observe, for instance, that"
He extended toward Maxey one of his
lean and sallow hands. It shook like a
leaf.
"That is tho effect of the whisky. As
long as motley remains to me to pur
chase oblivion I do not care for luck or
the devil. I am one of those uncongen
ial, solitary individuals who retire with
a jug into an obscure place, lock the
door and hide the key from myself. Aft
er I have become a maniac, a fool and
an inanimate brute by turns I emerge
again into the light, more emaciated,
more broken down, one step nearer the
much to be desired rest that comes at
the end for us all. A cheerful life, sir,
is it not?"
He turned his faded blue eyes with
the bloodshot corners toward the star
tled artist, who vouchsafed him no re
ply, and continued:
"Sir, you are saying to yourself: 'Is
this man seeking to excite my sympathy,
or what is his object? What possible
interest does he think I can have in his
grewsomo narrative?' Very little, sir, in
deed. Only it will afford some excuse
for me perhaps for the performance of
the most heartless and despicable act, of
my whole accursed existence."
Mr. Dye uttered the last words sav
agely and vehemently. His speech In-
d I sounded so much like tho mutter-
ingsof a broken intellect that Mu.ey
involuntarily drew back a pace or two.
Mr. Dye did not heed him. He wi lit
on:
"You behold in me, Mr. Maxey, a
man who believes in a remorseless des
tiny a destiny which may lie as obnox
ious to the victim as a bed of torture,
as plain before him as the noonday sun,
and which still he cannot escape. He
gees the little Stops which lead to the
great end in the distance presenting
themselves one after the other before
him, and he knows that if ho fails to
tako anyone of them the whole end
would be changed, but still he never
fails to take thorn Sir, that is my life
my religion, if yon will. And so I
tun here, impelled by the same inexora
ble fate which has pursued moi'rom the
first, .and which will pursue mo to the
close, to bring a shame and au unhap
piness into tic midst of joy."
"Well, sir, what is it? I am quite
pit pared by this time for anything, Mr.
Dye. I do not fear anything you can
say."
"Sir, you are too confident of that.
When I last came, you asked mo for
proofs of the shameful story that I told
Jon then. 1 have brought them. "
There was utter silence, and then
Maxey advanced a step and said in a
quiet voice:
"Well, sir, I am waiting for you. "
Mr. Dye did not look up. Ho put his
trembling hand solemnly into the breast
of the threadbare coat and drew forth a
little package of paper. Maxey took it
and saw that it n nsisted of two docu
ments of a legal as t, which were
variously superscribed, "Affidavit of
Maty Stephenson" and "Affidavit of
George Stephenson. "
Maxey compressed his Hps and looked
no further.
"Ah," murmured the wretched Dye,
"if yon only knew what I have pur
chased by placing these act nrsod papers
in your hand, you won hi not think of
mo hereafter with bo much bitterness."
"Mr. Dye," said Maxey suddenly,
"the time to drop this mask of yours is
fully ripe. "
The somber man half turned in his
chair.
"Sir, I fail to understand you. "
"No? Suppose that I were to tell you
that 1 know who suit yon hero?"
The words had. a marked 1 li eet 011 Mr.
Dye. Ho instantly comploted that which
tiie former question had caused him to
begin and turned wholly about in his
chair, lacing the ortisl with an ashy
countenance. As he did so his eye fell
upon the pictnre,
Maxey noticed his sudden .silence,
though he imperfectly understood the
cause.
Mr. Dye pat in his chair without mo
tion, his faded eyes wide open, looking
intently at (he Mirtrai1 on tho easel.
Tin would havo hi en complete. si

Maxey held out hi itrce arm iii a ques
tioning way toward thooasol.
"What is (ho matter? .; you ill? I
don't understand you. That Is a picture

A terrible trembling came upon ev
ery portion of (ho r imbcr man's frame.
He orltd oat in a hoarse voice:
"The .lew's fncol Tho .lew's face!"
There wa a rush liko tho broatli of
unseen wings from OVOt the darkened
river. The ghostly baud rapped at the
window, and Mr. Dye fell down upon
the floor.
