In Love with a Painter

JACQUliS imCHIHHK Is an nr
llst whose mythological pic
tures have a most (IcIlKhtful
modern nlr. Ills Orwlnn Kotl
ih'fses look like Purlstlenncs:
their wind-blown hair, tliirir
hlfih-heeled sandals, nnd im
cullar twirl tllven to their
drapery have captivated the. Parisian
ladles. So they crowd Jacques' studio,
and Implore him to let them sit for
DlimuK and Andromeclus. Hut ho Is a
most unromantlc fellow, nnd Is swayed
by no consideration other than thoso
of sain. Although he Is but 20, he has
Rained fainis and some fortune; nnd ho
is so Industrious that he Hies from use
less words nnd time-consumers that Is
tp say, women nnd bores,
A year bo. Just after the art exhibit
closed, Jacques determined to Kb on a.
sketching tour. So ho packed his trunk,
assisted by his friend, Kuseno do Lassl,
and was bidding adieu to his studio,
when the servant entered with a note.
It was a nlco little note, daintily per
fumed, and the address was written In
the most delicate hand Imaginable. Ho
read It, frowned, nnd, crumpling It up,
threw It on the Moor.
"Confound the women!" he cried.
"What's the matter?" asked his
friend.
"Why, I'm such an unlucky fellow,"
replied Jacques. "There's always soma
woman or other bothering me, writing
about how she'd like to see me, and nil
that Bort ot thing. Just as If a man
should say ho would like to sec my
paintings because he admired tho cut
of my beard. Iyook," said he, picking
up tho letter, 'address Mme. lioonle,'
such a street and number.
"But," said Eugene, who was reading
the note, "It's very well written. I ns
sure you, full of most delicate wit.
What arc you going to do with It?"
"Oh, you literary men!" groaned
Jacques. "What am I going to do with
It? Why, burn it, of course. What do
you suppose I am going to do with It?"
"I'll tell you what to do with It," said
Eugene, "you're going away"
"Yes."
"Tlton glvo It to me."
"Why, what'll you do with it?" said
Jacques, with a stare.
"Well. I'll play painter." replied Eu
gene. "I'm not much of one, but I can
daub a little enough, at all events, to
decolve.a woman In love. And Ijjl And
out who 'Mme. Leonle' Is that's only
part of her name. I'm sure.
So It was settled. Jacques Bruliicre,
painter, set off for Switzerland, and
Eugene do Lassl, man of letters, re
mained to personate him. nut only for
Mme, Leonle. Other visitors were told
tho truth that tho master was gone.
At last she came. Eugene's romantic
fancy had painted her as young and
beautiful. But she was more than that,
she was divine. She was a brunette,
nnd had tho most delightful nose, the
most glorious hair, and the most ador
able little hands nnd feet that Eugcno
had ever seen. Ho flattered himself
that lie was correctly made up for his
role. His velvet blouse and Jaunty cap
were a little too clean, perhaps, but
that was a good fault.
Mme. Leonle wanted her portrait
painted, and It was very difficult for
her to decide how It should be done.
She wavered long. One day she would
bo Omphale; the next she had decided
that to bo represented as Salome was
necessary to her peace of mind. But
when Eugene had made his prepara
tions, his fickle goddess decided that
Delilah was the character that suited
her. And then she would wandur
.around tho studio, and drone herself
with the barbaric stuffs used by long
gone models, nnd handle the curious
weapons, and examine the porcelains.
And then she would say that she was
weary, and would come the next dav.
And she would go, leaving Eugene de
Lassl deeper In love than ever.
As for him, he was In a dream. He
had retired from tho world. At his
own quarters his door was dally
stormed by publishers, by managers, by
printers' boys, by creditors and by
friends. But no one knew where he
gone. Ho had told his servunts he
was going away, but ho had not told
them where. It was wrong, decidedly
wrong; but he took a certain ferocious
Joy In It when ho thought how he him
self had once pursued these same edi
tors and managers.
Eugene had at last discovered that
his Inamorata was a widow, wealthy
and of good family. Her full name
was Loonlo do Nores. Ho had never
told his love, but that she was blind
to it was Impossible. Yot sho was
certainly blind to his painting, for she
expressed her admiration of It with
The Triumph of Love

an enthusiasm that made Eugene
wince. But una day, when he wns, an
usual, attempting to transfer her to
canvas, n particularly atrocious tree.
which ho Introduced In tho background
attracted her attention,
"Jacques," said she, "don't you
think that you are that you- nre-
well, that you're losing n little of your
skill "
"What!" shouted Eugene.
"I mean that Is I'm nfrnld that I
keep you from your work so muoh
that"
"I only hope that you may keep me
from It forever," returned the amor
ous Eugene. And so the dangerous
moment passed.
But this state of affairs could not
last forever. One fine day, as Eugene
wns seated upon a divan thinking ot
his lady love, who had Just departed,
who should enter but Jacques Bru
hlpre. Yes, there he was, with his at
tendant carrying his umbrella, his
sketch books, his camp stools, his bag
gage, a true artist Just from the coun
try. Tho false one tumbled as ho
thought that his dream was over! Had
ho been a Borgia he would have slain
his friend. As ho was not, he pressed
his hand warmly and bade him wel
come. But how could he extricate himself
from his dilemma? How could he an
swer to a hlgh-splrlted woman for the
dceptlon ho had practiced upon her?
As to persuading Jacques to consent
to any arrangement for keeping up
the deception, that was out of tho
question; where his heart was con
cerned the painter would prove ns deaf
as a post and ns unmanageable as a
balky horse. So Eugene wns puzzled.'
Finally a bright Idea occurred to him.
"Why not," thought he, "give a comlo
turn -to the affair? If properly done
Leonle will be disarmed. She Is easily
moved to laughter, nnd then I will ex
plain and beg her forgiveness."
Alas! Poor Eugene's Idea was not a
happy one.
Tho next day when Leonle nppeared
It was Jacques who met her nt the
door. Ho was In blouse, cap, and car
ried palette nnd brushes.
"Can I see M. Bruhlere?" sho usked,
with some little surprise.
"That Is my name, madam," replied
the painter.
"You Jacques Bruhlere!" said idie,
with an amused laugh, and she pushed
by him and entered tho studio. "You
the great painter! No, no!" and sho
seated herself and looked nt him de
fiantly. But If she was at her ease In the stu
dio, ho was more so. Her quick wo
man's eye noted this, nnd on the easel
there was already begun a canvas In
which sho recognized the master's
touch. Leonle was becoming 111 at
ease. Sho picked up a little Hindoo god
which stood on the table beside her and
fingered It nervously. Her hands trem
hled, tho little monster slipped from
them, and dashed in pieces on tho floor.
Tho artist stepped to the wall and
rang the bell. The door opened, and a
servant entered, clad in livery and
wearing an apron rendered necessary
by the fnct of his cleaning brushes.
"Did monsieur ring?" ho asked.
Leonle stared at him nnd grew white.
"Yes, Jean," replied the artist. "Gath
er up the fragments of this trifle, which
madame has unfortunately broken.
Now," said he, turning to Leonle, "If
madame will kindly Inform me to what
I owe the honor of this vis"
He stopped. Her white, set face, her
starting eyes, frightened Mm.
"A lackey!" she hissed, "a base lack
ey! And I have loved this heartless,
cruel, lying wretch!"
With a sudden impulse of fury she
snatched up a pretty toy, a silver pon
iard, which lay upon tho table, and
sprung at Eugene. Quick as a (lash the
artist dashed between them. But quick
as he was, he wns too late. The poniard
struck Eugene in the side, inlllctlng a
deep wound. As ho did so, Leonle ut
tered a shriek and fainted away.
Eugene's comedy had become a trag
edy. "Truly n pretty sight for the studio of
an honest, hardworking painter,"
groaned Jacques Bruhlere, ns he gazed
upon the two prostrate forms. "ThU
comes of obliging your friends, Catch
me doing It again."
Three years passed. Leonle was la

MISSIONS IN PUERTO RICO.
Progress Which Has Been Made by
Various Protestant Denominations
in Caring Spiritually for These
New Dependents.
Of the religious bodies that are to be
represented at tho Kcumenlcnl Confer
ence of Foreign Missions, to be held In
New York In April, Disciples of Christ
were among the very first to reach
Bucrto Itlco nnd to enter uuon work
there. Selecting San Juan as being tho
center of influence of the Island, the
Rev. J. A. Krwln and Mrs. Krwln ob
tained what Is, perhaps, the best build
ing available In the whole city, short
of actually constructing one. Hero
they opened religious services, nnd a
day and a Sunday school. Their work,
while It has had Its drawbacks, has
been successful from the stnrt. Soclul
as well us religious work has been un
dertaken, nnd tho Christian Institute,
as it Is called, has already come to be
one of the features of San Juan.
Presbyterians have work at three
different points In Puerto Itlco. Tho
poins are San Juan, Mnyg.ioz and
Bonce. That at Mavngm s Is pi;rlu'
the most Interesting, It bulns educa
tional as well as religious. So many
pupils came that the school has been
self supporting almost from the stint,
a record quite unlocked for. The fore
most Presbyterian preacher on the
Island is the Ilev. Dr. J. Milton Oreene.
who was sent by the Synod of Jowa
und his maintenance guaranteed. Ho
Is an eloquent preacher and under
stands the Spanish lungungc nnd char
acter. An elderly man, he has Inspired
confidence, and his services in San
Juan are growing in influence and at
tendance. KPISCOPAL WORK.
Protestant Episcopal work on the
Island has had not a little help from
the ,'oillclnl classes and from army
chaplains. Such of the military post nt
San Juan as ever attended church ser
vices at all, went from tho very first
to the Kplscopal. Then the Ilev. Henry
B. Smith, who was chaplain ot Theo
dore Itoosevelt's Rough Riders, went
to Ban Juan as clianhiln and mission
ary, and his prominence and Intluence
counted for much. There has been for
some years at Ponee a Church of Eng
land congregation. That nlllllated at
once, of course. Lately Bishop Whipple
of Mlnesota has paid a visit to the Is
land, and while there, licensed four lay
readers to hold1 services In as many in
terior towns of the Island, and now the
board of missions has appealed for $:'.",
000 with which to erect churches.
Congrcgatlonallsts early took a
unique position in Puerto Rico. Their
educational society not tho one bear
ing that name, but the American Mis
sionary Association, which has educa
tional work among colored people of
the South, nnd whites among tho
Tennessee mountains, opened two
schools, one at San Juan and the other
at Lares, in the mountain section of
the west coast. In the latter case they
transported school benches on the
backs of mules, the alcalde and coun
cil paying the bill, so delighted were
the Lares authorities at the Idea of
having a school. Tho Congregational
aim Is normal, that Is, to train those
who are fitted to become teachers In
tho public schools. The school at
Lares has been self supporting from
tho first, so far as rent, salaries and
running expenses go. Eight teachers
were sent from the ITnited States, and
there Is a superintendent of Congre
gational schools for the Island.
BAPTIST MISSIONS.
Baptists have preaching stations ut
both San Juan and Ponce, their gener
ul missionary being tho Rev. H. P. Mc
cormick. According to all accounts he
has -met with success. He has been
ordered home to attend the Baptist an
niversaries at Detroit In May, and to
make an exhaustive report at that
place and time. What gave Baptist
missionaries a close Insight Into affairs
was their assistance In tho distribu
tion of government relief that was
bestowed Immediately nf,ter tho hurri
cane. This distribution took them to
every part of the Island und into con
tact with many people. They
utilized tho advantage nnd their work
has been helped In consequence.
Several points about work in Puerto
Rico aro to bo noted. Ono is that tV.e
people aro eager to ltarn, to own
Bibles, to hear tho Oospel Another Is
that they aro not confused by the mul
titude of sects that have taken up
work among thorn. They understand
tho situation as well as wo do at home.
Still another Is that 'ho Human Catho
lic authorities arc most considerate.
They assert their rights und their
sufficiency ns a church, but tliey do so
with full recognition of the principle
of religious liberty. And furthermore
that there Is no competition of the dif
ferent religious bodies. There is a
complete understanding among Presby
terians, Baptists and others, ns to
where each shall work. Tho day of
perfect comity Is not hero yet, but It Is
as near to Puerto Rico as anywhere,
perhaps nearer. If Is ono of tho pur
poses for which the Ecumenical Con
ference on Foreign Missions Is held to
further this cause, of denominational
comity. At tho conference will bo dele
gates from every missionary society In
tho world, almost. At any rate It will
bo the largest gathering of mission
workers the world ever saw. Its aim Is
to study tho methods of missions; that
Is, how tho Christian may best Influ.
ence and afterward lead the non-

AN APPEAL TO BIRD-LOVEBS.
The Andubon Society of New York
Sends Out the Following Appeal
to Bird Lovers.
This country Is on the verge of losing
forever one of the main features of Its
seacoust charms the sca-blrds them
selves. In fact, tho Terns, tho most ex
quisite of tho Gull family, and which
formerly thronged our whole coast, havo
been so nearly wined out by agents of
the milliners that this year's onslaught,
already fully organized, will glean nl
most the last pair from tho few small
breeding colonies which remnln, wherever
theno aro unprotected. And tho larger
Gulls, which aro not only very beautiful,
but absolutely essential as harbor scav
engers, are also being decimated for thu
sumo purpose.
All these sneclcs, with their exqulsUo
beauty, their wild voices and their monc
romantic lives, peopling a. realm which,
without them, would be oppressive In Its
dreary grandeur, will reach their breed
ing places In a few weeks, and the Terns,
especially, are liablo to bo slaughtered
the moment they got there; thcrcforo tha
promptest action Is necessary. If we aro
to save even the few pairs of tho latter
which could restock our devastated coast
when tho evil eye of fashion shall have
turned to other victims.
SANITARY SERVICE OK 8UA-IURDS.
Simple economic considerations make It
a matter ot course that tho Gulls must
be saved. An Immenso horde of them,
which naturalists think number any
whero from a hundred thousand to a
million, gorge twice a day In Now York
Bay upon garbage. As tho hour of the
'dump" approaches, tluir multitudes fill
the wholo air to an Immenso height, over
an nrea of several miles, then gradually
sc ttlo on tho sea In vast white sheets.
The whistle of the police boat, tho slgnnl
to "dump," seems to waft them simul
taneously Into tho air, to gather, like
dense snow clouds, over the floating
masses Just emptied from tho many
i-cows.
Jmncluo from what nn amount of pu
trid matter theso birds, as big as hens,
save tho adjacent benches, not to speak
of their perpetual gleaning In tho actual
harbors! And this Is a specimen of
what occurs at every port.
Anil tdiall this incalculable sanitary
benefit, nnd all this benutv, terminate
forever, and for no worthy purpose?
If money enough can bo raised, the
committee of tho American Ornitholo
gists' union will cuard every breeding
place whero there Is a law to back them,
as Mr. Mnckay nnd Mr. Butcher havo
dono at Vineyard Sound Islands und
Great Gull Island.
Tho utmost caution will be used In
choosing wardens, and the 'committee
will bo glad to receive names of men es
pecially suited for the post. Light
houso keepers and Life-Saving Station
captains will bo employed wherever fens,
