PANSY'S PORTRAIT. BY MARY KYLE liALLA. The following story used to be told by an artist, "a little queer in his mind," whenever he could get a listener: The sign npon the door-jiost of my dwelling commended uie to the public as ''Carl Vincent, Artist," but the public did not seem much interested in tbe fact, and I had begun to realize that time in long, life short, and money ditto. My landlord wanted his rent, and there w as so little of the true Bohemian in my nature that I wanted Liui to save it. It as a bare little room, that studio of mine, I had neitber old tapestry, tiger skins or brie a-brac to embellish it with. The artist life I had dreamed of when I left my Cither's country home to come to town, seemed fading into a foolish dream. They had refused my picture at the Academy, and accepted that daub of Tom kin's, and life looked very dark to me. I had arrived, in fact, at a rather des perate state of the blues, when I became aware of a clumping noise upon the stairs the sound of heavy boots and a cane. As the sounds ceased at my door, I opened the window, put my pi(e out upon the lede, shut the casement ain, and seized my partette and mablstick. Tbe next instant a short, imioitAUt knock was followed by the appea-ance of a gentleman, w ho miijht be described as also short and impatient. "Vincent?" he inquired. I bowed. He looked over the bannisters, which were very near the door, und called to some one below : "Come up ; this is the right place." And in a moment more two ladies made their appearance. One was matronly, pretty, rcsy and overdressed, and enter ed my studio confidently, looking about her, and at me, through a folding eye glass, in a condescended manner. The other was young, pale and beauti ful. Looking at her one thought of lil'iesoftbe valley before rude hands have plucked them from their stems. She followed the otbers with bent head, and eyes vailed by tbe great almond shaped l.da. I might have fancied her manner a curious sort of aifectation but for the meek and childlike simplicity of her expression. I hastened to do the honors of my studio, and placed seats at once. The old gentleman lowered himself into his cautiously, as though he bad experiences of chairs hich were not reliable. The young girl did not even notice the bow with m hich I offered her another. She glided past, and became absorbed in con templation of a picture which hang in the farther end of the Btudio. Meanwhile the old gentleman cleared his throat and inquired, apruptly : "Did you do stunts?" "I beg your pardon," said 1 greatly be wildered. "I said, did you do Stunts?" he repli ed. Stunts, and Mrs. Stunts, too, I think, and their little boy ?" I began to understand that he spoke of a rich grocer whose portrait I had painted. "I had that honor," I replied. "Yoa got him down fine," said the gen tleman. "Was it your idea or his to have that package of 'digestible gostative grains,' only 10 cents the haif pound, on the table at his elbow?" "His entirely," I said, flashing a little; for that rather illegitimate addition to a woikof art had been a sore subject with me ever since Mr. Stunts exhibited his picture at the art gallery of which he was a patron, and the critics had alluded to it humorously. ''His own entirely, I assure you." "It was a capital idea, whoever struck it," said the old gentleman. "I thought of having something of the sort intro duced into mine, but my wife here don't think it would be the thing." "I agree with the lady," said I. "I'm in notions myself," said the gen tleman, "and many a thing might be worked in. But no matter. Settle it be tween yon. I dont know much about art but I can pay for the pictures. Yoa can do ns both. I'll wear a swallow-tail, and I want Mrs. C ranch to have low neck and short sleeves and diamonds. You can do diamonds, I suppose, Mr. Vin cent?" It was not a time for show of profes sional modesty ; so I declared that I could do diamonds. "That's all I stipulate for, besides the neck and arms," said Mr. Cranch. "Well, when can yon do us, Mr. Vincent ?" I made a prelence of examining my engagement book belore I chose the morrow for the first sittings. Then stout Mrs. Cranch arose and set tled her wraps, and Mr. Cranch buttoned np his coat, an! looked about him. "Pansy," he said, "wouldn't you like to be done, too ? Don't you .want your picture ?" Tbe young lady, who had all this while been standing quietly before the sketch in the far d. rner of tbe studio, turned ai this and advanced toward as, saying, as ahe came. J "Oh, no, papa, not mine." "Just as you like; if yoa don't want it yoa needn't have it, though it would look well over the etirj" said Mr. Cranch. It was precisely at this moment that a very curious and unaccountable thing happened to me. I assure yoa that I have always been a very temperate man, but was glad of an excuse to observe that beautiful face, I tamed toward the yoaug lady, I saw double. ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1898. There were two young girls standing bo fore me, arm in arm, and they were precisely alike, though one look like the dim reflection of the other seen in some blurred old mirror. A shocking fancy that some sudden affection of tbe brain, or at Iea.st of the eyes, bad befallen me, made me for a moment forget everything eise. I press ed my palm over my lids and my heart beat furiously with apprehension. A moment more, and I was glad to find that things had their u sual appearance. I smiled, and spoke of a headache, and my patron answered : "Ah, troublesome ; those sudden head aches!" Before he had finished speaking how ever, the young lady caught me, by the arm. "Come here," she said. "Tell ms something I want to know about this picture." And she hurried me to the corner she had just left, her whole manner quite al tered. "Will yea answer mean honest ques tion honestly ?" she said, when we w ere out of hearing. "Why did you cover your eyes just now'i Why did yoa look as you did? Don't-tell me of a head ache; that is nt true." "My dear younjj lady," said I, "I nev er experienced such a thing before, but, for a moment, 1 jaw two of you. You must acknowledge tfcat " I was about to pay her some filly, ste reotype compliment, but she turned from me, and crossed the studio with a hurried step, and put her hand upon her father's shoulder. "Bapa," she said, "I have changed my mind. I shall be glad to have my por trait painted if Mr. Vincent will paint it for me." "Good," said Mr. Cranch. Another hour for a sitting was appoint ed, and the party took their leave. In a moment, however, the gentleman return ed alone. He closed tbe door, and set his ba' k against it, "You musu't think ill of my poor girl if Bbe does anything odd," said he. "She's not quite right in her mind, I am sorry to say. She was one of twins and my other girl Rose we called her died three years ajo. JuM fifteen the twins were then. Tansy was not ill, but she fell into a sort of a trance. For an hour we thought we ha lent her also. In a sense we had. She h&a never been quite herself since. She has the strangest de lusions. It's a great trial to us. Wei', such is life." I assured Mr. Cranch that I would bear in mind what he had tola me, and bow ed him down stairs. My staircase was narrow, inclosed on both sides bv a wall. It w.i ilrk. but the vestibule below was bathed in light. In that vestibule I saw M-s. Cranch moulding on her glove as she awaited her husband's coming. "How beautiful she is !" I thought. And then for a moment I saw once more what I had seen in my studio two love ly girls instead of one. If this happened again, I resolved to consult an occuiixt. But I experienced no return of the aillic tion. My sitter came on the appointed days Mr. Cranch in his swallow-tail coat ; Mrs. Cranch attended by a prim maid called Mrs. Bobbins. Tbe matron had handsome arms and shoulders both plump and white. In fact to make a long storr short, I painted Mr. and Mrs. Cranch to their satisfaction, pleasing the matron by robbing her ofa score of y tars. The portrait painter who will not do this may never hope to succeed with the la dies. For my part I painted for bread and butter, and could not aifurd to be too par ticular in such little matters. Miss Pansy was not to sit nntil ber parent's pictures were sent home and hung in those fme recesses of the pala tial residence w hich they were destined to adorn. But the time came at last and I looked forward to it with pleasure ; for tbe girl was one to please the eye cf any man as well as any artist. I had my canvas ready, and had set my pallet for the pearly tints of her deli cate complexion, when her light knock was heard npon the door. I opened it She entered, and though I waited several seconds, no one else appeared. I had, of course, expected the maid who had at tended Mrs. Cranch to be with her daughter but the girl looked at me with her own peculiar dreamy smile. "I simply would not let Bobbins come with me," she said. "Mamma was quite cross with me about it, but I came alone. Where shall I sit? I indicated the chair on a raised dais. She took off her cloak and bonnet, and I saw that she wore a delicate'cream white silk, open at the neck. There were pearls about her thrjat and ia her ears. She smiled gently, and without further question took ker place. Once having posed, she sat perfectly still. Not only did her hands remain quiet, but every muscle of her lovely face also. Her lashes did not stir, and I saw no move ment in her eyes, which by degrees dilat ed and had the lock of eyes that have been treated with belladonna. For a first sketch thia might do ; but I resolved that I would endeavor to alter all that at tbe next sitting. However, the pose of the head, the lines cf her arms and shoulders wete as graceful as possible, and I was deeply interested in my drawing, when, to my horror, I saw another girl leaning over the fitter's chair a girl who was much like her, who was attired exactly as she was, ap parently as real a girl as the other. I laid my pallet te aside ; I placed my brushes npon tbe stand; I rose and walked to tbe window. After standing there a moment, I turned. Miss Pansy had arisen, and was looking at me in tently. "I beg yonr pardon, Mr. Vincent, are yoa ill y she asked. "I do not know," I said, returning to my seat. "I experience feelings that, I . freely confess, alarm me." "Tbe same yoa spoks of when I first saw yoa V she exclaimed with great in terest and animation. "Tell me! tell me!" "The same," said I. "Either my brain or my eyes must be in a bad way. for I actually seemed to see another figure exactly like your own, leaning overyour chair. If the illusion returns I mast cease to attempt to paint to-day of coarse. But Pansy clasped her fair hands to gether, and stretched them toward me. "I implore yoa," she said, "to remem ber that there are mysteries which (nan IT JL cannot cou iprehend. That there are facta which those who boast of common sense deny. J entreat yoa to paint w hat you see. Whatever that maybe, how ever imposaibl it may seem to yoa that you really look upon it. Paint it, paint it, paint." As he spoke, she resumed ber former position. Her tce grew pale, ber eyta dilated. I took up my plllette and brushes a., onedoes things in a dieam. I resolved to obey her literally paint what I saw. As I arrived at thia decision, I felt an indescribable thrill run through me. My linger tips tingled, nd the tip cf my tongue had that sensation which iscreat eJ by touching the heart of a pineapple; a cold breeze seenied to blow over me, and my scalp turned icy cold. I gazed fixedly upon my sitter. Be hind her chair seemed to arise a delicate putf of white smoke which hovered about her head. Then I saw it condense itself, and take shape. The figure I had seen twice before was leaning on the back of tbe chair with her band on Pansy's shoulder. I could not be "seeing double" for the girl in tbe chair had a di ilerent attitude from the girl behind it. As I looked at the latter, she lifted her finger, and touched ber chic with it, and I saw that it was deeply dimpled, while that of Pansy was not, being smooth, and round, and oval. It was the only great differ ence between the two faces the real and the unreal one. I painted fast, I puinted Iodj, I painted w ell that day. The set ting sun indicated the lapse of time to me. I looked toward the window for an instant, and when I again-turned my eyes upon the dais, my mysterious sitter was gone. Pansy, pale to the lips, and trcm bling from head to foot, sat gazing at me like a child just awakened from a sound slumber. I approached and held out my hand to assist her to descend. We stood together before the canvas, she clung to my arm, unable to support herself, and trembling violently. ' I labor under no delusion, then," she said, rather to herself than to uie. It is perfectly tiue ; there can no longer be any doubt of it," As she spoke a sudden rap came upon the panucis of the door. It opened a sharp voice was Leu id. "Oh, my sakes. Mis! 'Oi sktered your ma is about you. We really felt sure some arcident had happened vox" It was Bjbbina. She took ber young J lady's cloak from the chair, where it had been throw", and wrapped it around her. "Why, you're like ice, Mi.-?," she said "and that Aggered." "I am very, very tired," said Pansy ; but si.e Biuiied upon n:e as she went her, way, and said sweetly, '"at two o'clock to morrow." For my part, my own fatigue was in tense. I ha l never been so weary. I staggared to the sofa, dropped my head upon the cushion, and in an instant w as asleep. It was long after midnight when I awoke, and having eaten a biscuit and ti'iena glass of sherry, retired for the night, through which 1 slept soundly. 1 awike, posiseosed of a great horror that of insanity. I turned to my glass and examined my face carefully. 1 felt my own pulse. I tested my memory. I renewed my school-day tasks, and gave myself an intricate prob lem in inathematijs to solve. As far as I could judge, I was in full possession of my faculties. Everything looked as usual ; nothing had any odd, or peculiar appearance, or eifech A sudden hope rushed into my mind, I heard of dreama S) vivid that the dreamer thought them actual occarenoes after he had awaken d from them ; perhaps one such had visited me. With bated breath, I hurried to e i inline my can vans. Alas! u;on the surface I stw a work that seemed to be better than anything I had djne pre viously, but still the sketch of -V y young ladies. Pansy sat in the great chair, w ith her calm, far-away look, and behind her, the arm testing upon the chair, tbe other hand npon Pansy's shoulder, stood that other figure so like hers, and there smiled t':ie face that differed from her own only in the full and dimpled chin. For a matter-of-fact young man, who particularly prided himself on his com mon sense, here was a situation. However I resolved to face it, and Vaited with a curious, almost impersonal. interest for the afternoon sitting. Miss Pansy arrived punctually, this time alone, she had added to the orna meuts upon her person a bracelet of twisted ropes of pearls. We exchanged a few words of greeting. Then she Uwk her place, and I took mine. I had work ed fifteen minutes on Pansy's portrait w ithout any return of the optical illusion yesterday, but something else was to happen tday. I turned to transfer some carmine from its tube to my palette. and as I looked at my model again, I saw only her arm her right arm, w ith the bracelet upon it, the hand lifted and clasping another right hand, the wrist of which was entwined by a bracelet of the same description as that she wore. This curious effect lasted but two min utes; then I saw Pansy ence more sitting in ths chair, and the'other eirl leaning over tier. I tie vision or inusion wore upon its arm a pearl bracelet that it had , not worn the day before, the counterpart j of that which pansy wore. j That day the maid came at the end of j the sitting and hustled her young lady away with sharp promptitCde. The picture needed one more sitting. I was intensely anxious to proceed with it. The day and the hour appointed came, but Pansy did not come with them. Instead of her light foot fall I heard once more a clamping cf heavy Loots and a thick cane upon the atairs, and Mr. Cranch entered. Important as ever, I still detected trouble in his face. My daughter, Pansy, is ill," he said, and I'm afraid this sort of thing ia not good for her. In fact, her delusions have returned with great force. Tbe doctor advises a retreat, but I can't bear the thought of it. However, she most not sit any more, though, of coarse, I will pay yoa for the picture as though she did. I suppoee yoa can do it from memory 7" Mr. Cranch," said I, "as to the por trait, let it go. I shall never trouble yoa about it, I assure yoa." But I want it," he sail sadly. "It may be all I shall have of rnr daughter soon. 1 uon t tnink we can keep the girl alive; she's very delicate-very." He sighed. "And then Ler delusions may end in something worse than death. Do yon know she tells as her sister, Ease, who has been dead three long years, come with her to be done, and that you see her, and .paint her. Yoa see by that how bad she is." "Grt-at heavens!" I ejaculated. "I'd like to see the picture," said Mr. Cranch. But I resolved he should not. "Forgive me. I ha 1 rather not show it to you," said I. ' I insist," said Mr. Cranch. ''So do I," I answered. "It is unfin ished." Mr. Cranch turned upon me roughly. "You have been painting a wrong la dy's portrait and re fuse to let her father see it y cried the old gentleman. With a sudden stride he crossed the room and turned mycanva, which was with its back toward as, face outward, Mr. Cranch gsve an inarticulate cry, and staggered backward. I caught his armand helped hiui to seat. His face was i urple. His breath came hard. " You've almost killed me !" said he, when he had somewhat recovered. " What have you been doing there ?"' " Sir," said I, "I did not desire yoa to see it. I painted what I saw."' "You lie!" said he. "You have en couraged the poor girl's delusions. You have painted f'ose from her description. You have undone a 1 that care and ten derness have done. You are a vi'.e wretch, and yoa have robbed my poor chil l of her reason. I want to kill you ! I want to kill you !" " As iod is my ju Ige, yoa wrong me," said I. But as I spoke I saw that his opinion was the one that would occur to any man of ordinary common sense pfaced in his position. The oi l ir.an shook his cane at me again and hurried out of the room, and I cast myself dow n upob my sofa, and I am not ashamed to say that tears were very near my eyes. I had never been in love, but as I thought of Pansy I realized what love might be to a man, and I un derstood also that I should never see her again in IhU world. I never did. She died before the snows felL Grains of Cold. Mere concealment is in most cases a mischief. It is a hundred times easier to indict paia than to crente pleasure. A g'-'.id name, like good will, is g t ty many actions and lost by one. A kind word will go farther and strike harder than a cannon bail. With some folks, what yoa wear counts for more than what yoa are. There is no greater slave than a man who oi! another money he cannot pay. Economy is no digrace; it is betler 11'. ing on a little than outliving a great deal. The eye of the master will do more work than both of Lis hands. Not to oversee workmen is to leave your purse open. I have often noticed that a kindly, placid good humor is the companion cf longevity, and, I suspect, frequently the cause of it. If a man has a right to be proud of anything it is a good action done as it ought to be without any base interest lurking at the bottom of it. The disesteem and contempt of others is inseparable from pride. It is hardly possible to overvalue ourselves but by undervaluing our neighbors. Family Affa!r3.

A medical journal contains the follow ing account of how an old instructor gave hU class a practical lesson : " Gentlemen, yoa do not use your fac ulties of observation," said the professor addressing his class. Here he pushed forward a tra'Iipot containing a chemical of exceedingly offensive sniell. " When I was a student," he continued, " I used my sense of taste," and with that he dip ped his finger in the gullipct and then put Lis linger in his moutiu "Taste it, gentlemen, taste it." said the professor, and exercise your preceptive faculties. The gallipot was pushed toward the re luctant class, one by one. The st nilents resolutely oipped their fingers into the concoction, and, with many a wry face, sucked the abomination from their fin gers. "Gentlemen, gentlemen," sai l the pro fessor. " I mast repeat that yoa do not use your faculties of observation, for bad yoa looked more closely at what I was doing, yoa would have seen that the fin ger which I put in rny mouth was not the finger which I dipped in the galli pot" lUm't Jljnt. r D I make myself plain 7" Asied the angular lecturer on woman's rights, stop ping in the middle of her discourse.

May and October are the bet mo nths to pack butter for fa miSy use. Take a clean, sweet vessel : stone jar preferred) pack acharniiigof barer in it that has been properly salted and worked.
