THE ARTIST'S DREAM.
"rT'O souls with but a single
I thought.
Two hearts that beat as one.
Ralph Thorndyke was possessed of
a dreamy, poetic nature, far beyond the
ordinary. He owned a prerty photo
graphic studio, and his business was .
congenial to his artistic temperament;
there was so much in it to cultivate
love of the beautiful.
He had reached the age of 27, "heart
whole and fancy free," or apparently
so to his friends. To-day is his birth- (
day, and he is thinking intently of a
realistic dream of the night just passed, i
Just a year ago a vision came to him; j
a face not beautiful, but strong and i
earnest and sweet. She appeared to him i
in a portrait which he seemed to be j
looking at. The little brown hair was ,
In natural waves over a smooth fore
head, and the calm, steadfast eyes
were of a deeper hue.
Now, a year later, the same face had
again appeared, and Balph is thinking
of the message that came to him. "Pa
tience, one more year, and I will come
to you." He finally awoke from his
reverie and started for his studio; on
the way he picked up a package from
the sidewalk. Soon reaching his cozy
little office, he opened It, to find two
photographs by Sarony In a folding
frame; one was a draped figure, the
right hand raised to the forehead, the
face profile, the other, ah! the same
true brown eyes which haunted him
for a year! The brown hair, with golden
tints In the high lights; the fair com
plexion, deepening Into a wild rose
pink on her rounded cheek. The photo
was beautifully painted in water color,
and life-like. The artist soon made
copies of both pictures and took his
plates into the dark-room to develop,
with good results.
Toward night a little urchin stuck his
head In at the door and shouted: "Jour
nal!" "Here, boy," said Ralph, "never mind
ue ciimige, its ue uuug uiiu m uickvi.
He read the news, then glanced at the
advertisements. Under "Lost and
Found" appeared the following:
Lost Two photos of lady, in a folding
gold frame, between Wellington street
and postofiice. Finder please send to D
570, The Journal.
Ralph sent them to the address
named, congratulating himself that he
possessed such satisfactory copies, and
resolved to enlarge the profile for him
self. It was a labor of love, to work
on it day by day, and a most beautiful
work of art it was when finally finish
ed. Time went on apace; another year,
with its pleasures and trials, has
passed.
About 11 o'clock next day the electric
bell rang "three rings," a signal that
a subject was ready to be posed; it was
the work of a moment to put the nega
tive for exposure into the plate-holder.
As Ralph walked toward the camera
What he saw took bis breath away. The
vision of his dreams! The same wom
anly face, the graceful form!
The pleasant voice of a well-known
society woman broke In: "Allow me,
Mr. Thorndyke, to present my friend,
Miss Marlon Beane, to you and your
best effort in art." The artist bowed,
expressing himself the best he could,
with such a whirling brain as pleased
to favor them.
He posed her, then she went to the
dressing-room to don another costume;
her friend, Mrs. Claremont, chatted
with Ralph, saying: "I'm so glad that
you two have met to-day, Marion is so
romantic; would you believe It? She is
waiting for an ideal; she believes that
every one possesses half a soul, that
somewhere in the world the other half
Is waiting to be recognized and claim
ed; If the two halves join, then is the
union perfect and two lives made hap
py, otherwise unhapplness and discord
result from the ill-assorted union of
two people.
"Two years ago she went Into a
trance or sleep at midnight while at
Newport, nearly frightening every one
out of their wits. She came out of It,
however. In a few hours; a year ago
the same thing occurred at the same
hour, while she was visiting me. She
returned to her home the next morning
and lost two photos of herself, made In
New York. I advertised the loss and
received them the next day." Marion's
appearance at this time put a stop to
further, confidence, and Ralph had all
ho could do to control himself to be the
artist.
When the ladles were about to go he
Mid: "I would like to have you ladies
visit my sanctum sanctorum," to which
they gave a glad assent.
When they entered the door Marion
gave a Violent start, for, facing the en
trance, was her own figure in life size;
under the portrait the words, "Looking
into the future." She blushed, then
turned pale, and her eyes met Ralph't
with something like recognition. Mrs.
Claremont saw that there was some
thing in the air and retired gracefully
from the office with a remark about
some errand that must be attended to
' immediately.
Ralph advanced toward Marlon, and,
taking her hand, said: "I was the for
tunate finder of your photos and have
had this portrait for my daily compan
ion a' year. May I hope in the future
to possess the original? We have in
reality kuuhu trm.ii iu" iwv .
and need not measure time In the con
ventional way; I feel that I possess
your soul's mate. Is It not true?"
Marion gave him a glance full of
faith and trust, saying: "Even ao, my
heart Is yours." It is needless to add
that Marlon never went lata another
trance. What could It bat PW her
soul leave Its earthly surroundings to
seek Its matef She believes that It did.

Speaking: of law and the enforcement
of discipline In Yellowstone Park, I
heard the story of a bear there, which
I consider exceedingly important, not
only as a comment on the discipline of
the park, but as a moral lesson to par
ents In domestic obedience. The story
Is literally true, and If It were not I
should not repeat it, for it would have
no value. Mr. Kipling says, "The law
of the jungle Is obey." This also
seems to be the law of Yellowstone
Park. There Is a lunch station at the
upper basin, near Old .Faithful, kept by
a very intelligent and ingenious man.
He got acquainted last year with a she
bear, who used to corue to his house
every day and walk Into the kitchen
for food for herself and her two cubs.
The cubs never came. The keeper got
on very Intimate terms with the bear,
who was always civil and well-behaved,
and would take food from bis
hand (without taking the band). One
day toward sunset the bear came to the
kitchen, and having received her por
tion she went out of the back door to
carry it to her cubs. To her surprise
and anger the cubs were there waiting
for her. She laid down the food, and
rushed at her infants and gave them
a rousing spanking. "She did not cuff
them; she spanked them," and then
drove them back into the woods, cuff
ing them and knocking them at every
step. When she reached the spot where
she had told them to wait she left them
there and returned to the house. And
there she stayed in the kitchen for two
whole hours, making the disobedient
children wait for their food, simply to
discipline them and teach them obedi
ence. The explanation Is very natural.
When the bear leaves her young In a
particular place and goes in search of
food for them, if they stray away in her
absence she has great difficulty in find
ing them. The mother knew that the
safety of her cubs and her own peace
of mind depended upon strict discipline
In the family. Oh, that we had more
such mothers In the United States!

Fchoolbov'a Paradise.
The small boy who has to go to school
in America looks upon the small boy
who has to go to school In France with
something of the envy with which Laz
arus may have looked upon Dives. It
is the question of holidays which con
stitutes the difference in favor of the
lad who attends a public school of In
struction in the French republic.
Tbe.
schoolboys of France have more toll
days than workdays in the year, and
in that fact lies the grievance of the
American youngster. The average boy,
be be a native of Manhattan or a child
of Timbuctoo, is more fond of a holiday
than he is of a workday, theorists and
moralists to the contrary notwithstand- j '
Ing. And the more holidays he has the j
better terms be is on with himself and
all the world.
Two hundred and six holidays in the
year, as against 159 school days! That's
the record of public instruction in
France. To begin with, there Is the reg
ular midsummer holiday, which covers
a period of 04 days. That's pretty good
for a starter. Then there are the Sun
days. They are holidays, of course,
everywhere, but they count an addi
tional 52 days. Then ten days are al
lowed for the proper celebration of
Christmas and New Year's. To be
thoroughly observant of the great
feast of Eastertide 15 days are given.
Thursdays are holidays, and that
means 52 days more of no labor. All
Saints' comes in for three days' holi
day, St. Charlemagne two days, Shrove
Tuesday and Ash Wednesday two
days, Whitsuntide three days, and
three days to make merry when the
national fete In July rolls around. The
rest of the year the children are sup
posed to study. i
A Race of Great Men. i
No doubt you have often heard the
expression, "As tall as a Patagonian."
Many years ago wonderful tales were
told about the great size of the Tehu
elches of southern Patagonia, It being
reported that they were all from nine
feet to ten feet tall. While not ap
proaching such extreme height, the
Patagonlans living to the east of the
Cordilleras are believed to be the tall
est people in the world. The men aver
age nearly six feet in height, and many
of them are nearly seven feet tall.
When we consider that the average
American is several inches below the
six-foot mark, and yet we rank as tall
people. It Is easy to believe a race of
six-footers may take the palm for
height.

Here Is a good story which a club

Of course, I quite agreed with the but

"Then, hoping to get a rise from

" 'How In the world do you suppose

Cross-legged upon a red velvet couch
the citizen of Damascus smokes his
o'garette or nargileh, sips hla coffee or
arakt a strong drink flavored with
aniseed and looks dreamily out upon
the world. In the heat of the day His
favorite ret root Is the shadow of or
ange or mulberry trees on the banks of
those rivers which Naaman preferred
to "all the waters of IsraeL" The rip
pling Barada Is a flute note in the lazy
drone of conversation. When the dark
blue shadows have crept down the
mountains the Damascene seeks the
crowded street or square and hla long
robs and turban are addod to the bright
lines that extend In front of the cafes.
There he site for hours without open
ing his Hps. except to draw In the thin,
acrid smoke of the hubble-bubble.
Thus the sober citizen takes his pleas
ure. If he is "a young man about town"
he may plunge recklessly into the ex
citements of the cafe chantant, and,
still with coffee and nargileh before
him, listen to adaptations of Western
songs and "sketches" sung and played
by Greeks and Dalmatians. Women
uiay not share these public amuse
ments and not even a progressive coun
ty councilor could find fault with the
performance. It is blamelessly dull
and as respectable and almost ns stupid
as a suburban drawing-room party.
The only difference is that the perform
ers are a little more noisy, that all the
ladles smoke openly and that the
dancing girls would shrink from the
skirt dance. Like the Japanese
geishas and the Indian nautch dancers,
they seldom move their feet from the
floor.
Not even In Damascus, where nature
has laughed and been radiant for cen
turies of centuries, the oriental is a
dull person whose features rarely re
lax from their intent look of dignified (
contemplation. There is only one
place in which he apiears a natural
man. and that is the bazaar. There, in
these long passages with vaulted roof,
life palpitatea hot-blooded. Sleek
Syrian, hungry Turk, apple-cheeked
Druse and stately Bedouin are men and
women when they come to barter. The
bazaars of Damascus are famous in
the. east. Their importance haa be
come less since the opening of traffic
in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. '
yet their picturesque Interest Is still
great. They form a labyrinth of
courts and arcades, open to tbe sky or
under lofty-vaulted roof arcades
long, straight and broad, with modern
shops; arcades narrow, winding and
ancient, with dark recesses where fig
ures in turbans and long robes squat
among the merchandise thumbing the
koran or reciting prayers.
As in Western Europe, when trades
were guilds, each set of merchants had
its own quarter, though the tendency
is to remove these landmarks. There
is, for example, the silk bazar, where,
unless? you can haggle over paras, yot
are likely to pay dear for embroideries
and delicate tissues of Damascus and
Aleppo. Hie goldsmith's bazar Is dis
appointing, it Is a gloomy court with
a beggarly array of coins and "an
tiques" In locked cases. The sound ot
the hammer leads one to tbe copper
smiths, who make those enormous
trays with which tbe peasants and
Bedouin measure their neighbor's hos
pitality. Narrow strips of Persian car
pet, "Damascus" blades forged at
Sollngen, crimson leather slippers em
broidered with silver thread, gaudy
saddles and bridles, catch the eye as

Denny, who found, about a year ago,
that she would need to hustle around
and take care of herself, hit on a
plan which was easy, needed little
capital and has proved enormously
successful, says the New York Mail
and Express. Tears ago a friend of
her mother brought from India the
recipe for the stuffed dates prepared
for the rajah of the city where she had
resided. The recipe was often used
by the family and Miss Denny, at her
mother's suggestion, concluded to sell
some of the dainty confection. She
went to a retail dealer In the city, who
referred her to Adam Roth, whole
saler, who had been inquiring for just
sncb sweetmeats. He proposed that
Miss Denny supply him with dates
stuffed with English walnuts, and
gave ber immediately all the work
she could do In fact, more than she
could do alone.
The little buildings was fitted up
and the work done on a large scale.
There are in the house three rooms.
In which now work the seeders, stuff
ers and packers. The dates, which
come In large boxes, are unpacked,
the 'seeds removed, and In tbe "stuff
ing" room a quarter of a walnut Is
placed in each date. Powdered sugar
is then sifted over and tbe dates placed
in the boxes ready for transportation.
Last year Miss Denny made 6,000
pounds and this year 20,000. She has
made as many as 740 pounds in a day,
and when one remembers that it is all
band work some idea may be gained
of the labor Involved. An Interesting
thing in connection with the business
is that all the seeds are burned in the
stoves of the house Instead of coal,
and the fire they make It quite hot and
all the dirt of coal avoided.

A CHINAMAN'S FATE.
And while we're talking of men kill
ing themselves nice topic. Isn't It?
here's a story told me by a man lately
returned from San Francisco. It's a
true story, too.
In San Francisco there's a Chinese
secret society, the laws of which are
as strict and unchanging as those of
the MeBes and Persians. One of the
members ot this society told some of
its secrets an offense punishable by
death. He was to be tried In the usual
way before a tribunal of the society.
The night of the ordeal was fixed.
The culprit was represented by able
counsel, bnt the sentence was death
as was expected. An executioner waa
called from an adjoining room. He was
a strapping big Chinaman and wore
one of those hideous wooden masks
tbat art critics think so beautiful. He
carried a double-edged sword fully five .
feet long. To test the edge he folded
a newspaper In eight parts, and the
knife went through those eight thick
nesses of paper as if It were a bit of
butter in summer time.
The culprit waa put upon his knees,
and another Chinaman, also on his
knees, faced him and caught the traitor '
by the one. He drew the culprit's neck -toward
him, the smock was pulled over i
the shoulders, and with one mighty 1
swing the double-edged sword descend
ed. Like a flash It clove tbe air and
then atopped. A fractional part of an
inch separated the sword from the vic
tim's neck. Very," very gently the exe
cutioner brought the weapon down tin
til It Just touched the traitor's neck.
Then, as it Is a crime to kill a man In
San Francisco, he stopped. He brought
the sword to his side again, turned to
the judges and said:
"The culprit is dead."
The newly executed got to hla feet
and said something to the Judge. Tbe
judge did not heed for the culprit was
desd. He tried to speak to the China
men, who were hurrying from the halL
But he spoke to deaf ears. To all in
tents and purposes he was a dead man.
He made his way into the street, and
the first thing that caught his eye was
a huge poster proclaiming to all China
town that he had been executed that
evening. No one would speak to him,
no one look at him he was a dead man
Just as dead as if the executioner's
sword had In reality descended.
For a whole week that man wander
ed about Chinatown, the posters pro
claiming his execution staring him Id
the face at every turn. Not a crust of
bread could he beg not a mouthful of
water. His people knew him as dead
he was past, gone, buried.
And so one day he wandered np into
the American portion of San Francisco
and stole a revolver from a messenger
boy, who was showing It to some com
panions. Then he ran down Into
.Chinatown, sat down on the pavement
beneath one of his own death notices
