The "Artist's Court" is very far out of the way, on the extreme borders of the Latin Quarter. And if, when you visit Paris, your apartments are on the "Champs," you have probably never dreamed of the existence of such an arrondissement. The court from the outside is little to look at —only a long extent of dreary prisonlike gray wall, at one end sur mounted by a headless bust of Julius Caesar, with a plaster cast of Bonaparte in somewhat better condition at the other. In April of '93 Ned Wilkes and his wife, young married people, moved into the court. They rented numeral vingt-neuf. It is from them that I had this story. During the first three days after mov ing in Mrs. Wilkes made little ruffled curtains for the casement windows. She persuaded Ned to plant their own iittle parterre in myosotis and pansies. And she took an inventory of the neighborhood. "I know the names of everj'one in the court, Ned, dear," said Mrs. Wilkes. "I've spoken with all the women." "How about the girl in twenty-six?" Ned asked, lazily. "I thought you couldn't make her out." "Oh, I've spoken with her since then. She's very nice. A little queer, but nice. She's from the west at home— Miss Chandler." "And the fellow in twenty-seven. That odd crow," continued Wilkes. "Do you know who he is?" "1 had forgotten him,"she answered; "I don't even know his name. He looks nice, too. Queer, but nice." "You said that about the girl in twenty-six," said Ned. "It's a bit of a coincidence that the girl in twenty-six and the fellow in twenty-seven should lie both queer but nice. They ought to fall in love with each other." The following morning Mrs. Wilkes' "bonne" went out to the little village of Clamart to attend the funeral of a deceased relative. Wilkes was obliged personally to extract the household water from the court hydrant, a job of which he was not fond. It was in no gentle mood that, having rolled up his sleeves, he took a pail in each hand and tucked a heavy eruclie under one arm. The pump stood in the shadow of the Ki'lioolhouse wall. When Wilkes reached the pump he found some one before him —the man from twenty-seven, the odd crow. His hair, long and black, was blown in all directions about a face at once odd and ugly, beautiful and interest ing. He wore loose black trousers and the white blouse of an art-worker. And he stood some six feet in a pair of French house slippers with red-wool linings, lie looked up as Wilkes de posited his burden und smiledj in a friendly manner. "You've taken number twenty-nine, haven't you?" the stranger said. "We're pretty close neighbors. My name is Penroyd-—Waltham B. Penroyd, New York state." Wilkes exchanged his own name and birthplace, after which Penroyd ex tended a long white paw, and they shook hands. "You've got too much to carry," ob served the new neighbor, gluncing at the various vessels. "Give me that jug; I'll see it home for you." Wilkes remonstrated, but the neigh bor was firm. "Cometahead!" he cried. "Like as not your wife is waiting for the water. I haven't any wife, Wilkes. I wish 1 had," He curried the heavy cruche and set it down 011 the doorstep of number twenty-nine. "Come in and see us some time," said Ned. "Thank you," he answered, earnestly. "I have often been tempted to since you moved in." "Well, if temptation comes again, don't resist it," said Ned, laughing. He came, the following afternoon. Ned and his wife were sitting as usual upon the stoop. Ned himself was more than half asleep. The kitten, drowsy, too, sprawled across her master's knees in an ecstasy of purring. Suddenly the latch of the gate snapped. Ned drew himself up aud passed a hand across his eyes in bewilderment. That styl ish-looking fellow could not be Pen royd ? But Penroyd it was. He had dis carded the loose pantaloons and the blouse of his working hours. He now blossomed forth in a tasteful, perfectly fitting suit of dark muterial. His long hair had been brushed back within bounds and the red-lined slippers ex changed for patent-leather boots, with all the uddenda necessary to make a well-dressed man. He brought n handful of roses for Mrs. Wilkes—a rare and beautiful Span ish variety. Ills most cherished rose tree, idolized and pampered through out the winter, had been ruthlessly de spoiled to yield them. "Lucy, dear," said Wilkes to his wife, "this is Mr. Penroyd. Sit down, Pen royd. Glad to see you." "You see, I didn't wait for a second invitation, Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes," ho I suid, smiling. "We wanted to know you," said Mrs. Wilkes, burying her pretty face in the roses. "Yes," said Ned. "We had caught a glimpse of you here and there—ut the pump, in fact—and there was some thing about you that made us want to speak." Penroyd brought his open palm down sharply on the wooden step, so sharply that the sleepy kitten started up and blinked at him inquiringly, "Why, Wilkes, 1 must say that the coincidence is remarkable. Now, the first minute that 1 clapped eyes on you and your wife 1 wanted to talk with you. Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes, tam go ing to come down with the whole truth nt once and ask your opinion. To i speak mildly, I'm in the dickens of a j mess." Ned struggled to retain his gravity. I ••There's a girl in it, 1 suppose," he | said. "There is, Wilkes. That is why lam presuming enough to trouble you both , with my personal affairs. 1 said to my- I self: 'Wilkes there and Mrs. Wilkes ha vo just successfully steered their vessel ! into the sea of matrimony. They i probably found that it wasn't nil smooth sailing to get there. Here is Walthnm Penroyd struggling in the same direction, with every wind that blows blowing in his teeth. Who knows but they will let him benefit by their ex perience? "Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes," he said, "if 3 011 permit nie, 1 am going to tell you about this tiling from beginningto end. Unfortunately for me, that's a very short distance." Ned and his wife were most anxious to hear. "You must have noticed," began Penroyd, "that there is a young lady in twenty-six—a very handsome and extraordinary girl, Miss Chandler. She has a sister—a cripple. They moved into twenty-six just one month yester day. "\\ ilkes, you know what asses we young fellows arc when there's a girl in the question. Well, I heard, of course, that I was to have a young lady neigh bor. I was sick almost from curiosity. They came in the evening, and I hadn't a glimpse in the dark even. The fol lowing morning about seven o'clock I heard lier easement open. Her shut ter creaks just as mine does. I sprang to the window, wrapping myself in the curtains to be invisible. And I got my first glimpse of Edith Chandler. That was the glimpse that laid me out, Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes. I knew in that moment that I could love no girl but that girl. That I should love he* for life und death if I never set eves on her again, I knew as well as if 1 heard it from a burning bush. I left the window with a cold perspiration on my forehead. I recognized one of those traps of fate in which a man is j weaker than a hummingbird in a cat's claw. "It was fully an hour before she left that window, but I didn't venture an other look. I sat there in a stupor with that first image of her burning it self in on my brain, the image of her looking out over those orchis-pots, with that unearthly sadness in her eyes and the new sunlight 011 her face." Penroyd stopped speaking and stroked the kitten's forehead meditatively with his thumb. "Good heavens, man!" cried Ned. "Are you jdesparing of a girl before you have had an introduction?" "Oh, I have been introduced, Wilkes. I mean I introduced myself and we have spoken together a little over tlu gate, in fact, the first clay or two I olmost began to hope. They were so kind—she and her sister—neighbor fashion, you know. Rut two weeks did for that. I have found out that she' avoids me." "How do you know, in heaven's name?"asked Ned. "The hydrant unfolds the tule," said Penroyd, dreamily. Wilkes brushed back the hair from his eyes and looked at his visitor in as tonishment. "What has the court hydrant to dc with your case, man?" he demanded. Penroyd broke into a laugh. "I for got," he said. "I was pretty obscure, wasn't 1? This is what I meant. At first Miss Chandler used to come at six o'clock to draw water for household purposes—and I got into the liabit of drawing mine at six, too. In fact, Wilkes, to tell the truth, I went there every morning to meet her and to carry her pails for her. At first she must have thought it coincidence. Rut she couldn't remain long in ignorance. And the moment that she got on to the idea she stopped coining at six; eaine at five instead. Now, I leave it to you, Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes, if that girl comes out an hour earlier of a chilly morning isn't it sign enough that she avoids me?" On May 8 Miss Wilkes made the fol lowing entry in her journal of days: "Ned and I have begun to hope. Mr Tenroyd sat with Miss Chandler all after- j noon, from three to six, on her bark steps, t The sister came over and sat with us. I : love them both." On May 9 Ned wrote in the same j volume: "Penroyd turned up here this afternoon, i Stayed half an hour. Said he had told ' Miss Chandler that he loved her. She asked him not to talk of such things, to be her friend. 1\ says his brain Is splittlnj: I with the agony." On May 10 Mrs. Wilkes as follows: "Mr. Penroyd sitting with Miss Chandler again. Three till six. Oh, If she marry that fellow she's an idiot. He's a 1 good as gold. I like to look at his face. I can't make her out." On May 11 her husband: "The plot thickens. Penroyd told Miss C. again that he loved her. She confessed the same thing with regard to him, hut says they can never marry. There is an Insurmountable barrier. P. says he can step over any harrier—the Chinese wall It self, for example." May 13 Mrs. Wilkes us follows: "Poor Mr. Penroyd. Miss Chandler has j refused to speak again on that subject, the i only subject that he wants to hear dis- j cussed. She asked him to forgive her for j all the unavoidable pain she brought into his life. Mr. Penroyd naked her to put an end to the pain as only'she could. Poor i boy and girl, poor children." May 15 Ned's entry: "Ood help W. P. and E. C. This Is one ; of the saddest cases of the thing whose course doesn't run smooth. Hung It, I j should like to know what that fine girl ' has on her mind. They have sub-let ! twenty-six. Will move July 1. Heaven knows where." June came—the Parisian June—a mingling of spring freshness with nuin- ' nier languor, of cool nights and mom- j ings with sunny afternoons. In the j affairs of Walthani Penroyd and the girJ from the west very little was changed. Penroyd's latest things were exposed at the salon and well hung, j He knew of his success through the con- j gratulations of brother artists. Ko himself had not gone that year to the Champ de Mars. In those few weeks lie had become thinner. A look of constant abstraction had taken posses | Bion of his face. Wilkes rallied him i from time to time concerning this, j "Penroyd," he said once, "your j thoughts are wandering in Africa." | Penroyd laughed, recovering himself with a start. "In Asia, Wilkes," he , said. "I uiu trying to climb the Chi j nose wall." Wilkes repeated this conversation to his wife. "Ned, I think something will happen to help them, don't you 7" "I hope so," said Wilkes. "I think something is going to hap pen," said Ned's wife. A young cousin of Mrs. Wilkes re turned from a winter in Italy, a boyish young fellow, living from hand to mouth, and Bpeuking half a dozen lan guages with equal facility. On the afternoon of the young fel low's arrival Penroyd also called at twenty-nine, lie sat on the steps with Mrs. Wilkes ami the visitor. Ned himself was sprawling in a hammock swung between the little apple tree and a part of the garden fence. In the midst of talk and sketching the door of twenty-six opened. Miss Chandler stopped out to gather up u basket of needlework standing in the doorway. The young cousin was making sketch ill that direction. He caught o glimpse of her and sprang up, shading his eyes with one hand. ■'Mon JDieu!" he said. A moment more and the girl had re covered her basket and reentered the house. The young cousin sat down. "Miss Chandler is living here, then"" he observed. " Yes. Do you know her?" asked Mrs. \\ ilkes, quickly. She looked at Penroyd. lie was gently stroking the kitten's head with his thumb. One could not have said that he listened. "Yes, I know her a little. I know a good deal about her—more than most people. You know she lived in the Hue fiucino when I was there. Poor girl, I don't know whether it's the same thing now, but she had a ridiculous mystery hanging over her head—avoid ed meeting the fellow* and all that kind of thing—" "It is just the same at present," ob served Penroyd, calmly. "Well, another fellow and myself fer reted out that little mystery. I am ashamed of the thing now. It seems such an unmanly business. But we kept it to ourselves." "What was the mystery ?" asked Pen royd. "Iler father was in the penitentiary, lie died there." Penroyd looked down and continued his engagement with the kitten. He gently refused Mrs. Ned's invitation to supper. Mrs. Wilkes' journal for that day con tained: "Went to the opera with Ned and Cousin Dick. 'Lohengrin.' Tt was sublime, but I didn't enjoy It. T thought every moment of poor Mr. Penroyd. I wonder what ho thinks of the discovery—of his Chinese wall, as he calls rt, and how he proposed to scale It. She will never marry him if what Cousin D said Is true." The following morning came Pen royd himself. He found Ned and his wife in the utelier. The young cousin had gone down toCharenton for a day's sketching. "Now, don't interrupt your work," said the visitor. Ned had laid down his palettte and brushes. "I just dropped in for a moment. You have been so good to me, both of you, that I know you will be anxious to hear the end of it all. Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes, it is finished, and happily. I have cleared the wall of China." "How?" cried Ned and his wife, in one breath. "It was ail that fortunate chance of your cousin. My success has come tlirought you, Wilkes and Mrs. Wilkes. But for your cousin's instrumentality I should be the inmate of some padded cell. After that discovery, however, things were easy—as easy as breathinp the breath of life. At'seven o'clock last evening I went to call on Miss Chandler. "'Edith,' I said, 'I leave to-morron for Australia or some other desert place, for any laud is a desert away from you. I shall haunt you and dog your footsteps no longer. But before I go let me confess. My dearest one, I know your secret. It was that which made me presumptuous enough to look into your face. I thought: 'She has suffered through her father's trouble She will be more merciful of mine-' I had no right to love you, no right, to breathe a word of love into your ears. Even now it is a crime. I was tempt ed beyond my strength. But now we are about to part forever, and I will make my confession. lam not an hon est man, Edith. I served five years of penitentiary myself. My own dearest. I beg you to forgive me.' " 'Dearest,' she said, 'if that is true there is no need for us to part. Why haven't we been honest together be fore and saved ourselves this misery?' " Penroyd finished. lie was sitting on i a couch by the window. He spread out j his long, white hands, and mechanically i raised each finger in succession. Mrs. Wilkes wiped away a couple of tears I which were rolling down her cheeks. "Penroyd, that yarn of yours was a complete lie, wasn't it?" said Ned. "Yes, it was a complete lie," assented Penroyd, smiling. "How in heaven's name did you in vent it?" "Oh, I don't know," was the answer. "I'd invent a good many things to marry Miss Chandler."

HANDY LITTLE ARTICLE. A Wall Lockci for Stationery Which I a KuHily Made. | This handy little article—especially for the person usually of the masculine I gender, who can never remember where the ink and paper are kept—is made of ! gray linen. The variety sold as dress linen at 25 cents a yard, and which has ; a high polish, is best. The size will largely depend on the I size of paper and envelopes used. The I back is made double to admit of slip ping in a tablet or letter paper at the j side. The pocket at bottom should be u I trifle larger than the envelopes and of I sufficient depth to hold 50 envelopes. ! A good quality of Bristol board may | he used for the foundation, and the i linen must be decorated before covering WALL POCKET FOR STATIONERY. the different compartments. The dec oration is very simple for anj'thing so effective, and consists of painting in the design with Chinese white, shading the centers of petals with green, and outlining with Japanese gold cord, couched down with yellow silk. It will be best to cut a pattern for the different parts of stiff brown paper, bend them to the required shape and adjust to po sition on the back. Now take your Bris tol board—mark with pencil and rule where the sides of compartments should come, und wit ha sharp knife cut partly through the board. They will now bend without breaking into the required box form. Cover with the decorated linen and line with the plain; sewing the edges together, over und over, with gray silk. The two little boxes on top of envel ope case have a rubber bund passing from front edge of lid through the back, which keeps them closed. A rtarrow strip is fitted between them in circulai form to hold a small patent ink stand. At the upper right-hand corner a spiral pen rack is attached and the different parts are joined firmly together with gray button-hole twist and finished with a twisted gold cord. If my readers desire to make this and are in doubt on any points, I shall be very glad to answer any questions they may direct to me, care Farm, Field and Fireside. The Japanese gold cord and the twist ed gold cord w ill be found at the fancy stores, and the Bristol board at the printer's or stationer's.—lda D. Ben nett, in Farmer's lie view. Can* of Hard-Wood Floors. A housekeeper who is noted for lie. neatness says that u wood floor in the house is as much care as a baby. This Is no doubt true, and yet a little atten tion systematically given the floor each day is productive of marvelous good re mits. A flannel bag made to slip over the bristles of a broom makes an excel lent and convenient polisher. The wood floor should l>e swepteach morning with this flannel-covered broom, and twice a week it should be carefully oiled. If the floor is hard wood use linseed oil. while if it is stained or painted the in expensive crude oil will answer just as well. It should be rubbed upon the floor with cheese cloth rather than flannel 1o avoid the lint scattered over the floor. To deep-stained or varnished floor light-wipe frequently with a solution of milk and water. Feather** at* Popular Trimming*. Feathers are everywhere. Combined with imitation jewels and jet they make most elaborate trimmings. Vandyke points made of black ostrich plumes are strikingly effective on light col ored evening gowns. Small curly tips are used for outlining decollete bodices. In the stores narrow feather trimming •s sold by the yard for expensive cloth costumes, it is nppliquod to the bodice to simulate a vest or to outline seams. Spangles are frequently combined with n feather fringe. Trimmings formed of feather pend ants area not her novelty. The pendants swing from a jeweled band, und outline a corsage beautifully. The newest satins for evening gowns have raised velvet flowers for the de signs and are wonderfully soft und beautiful. A Word About Birthday**. A lonely woman, one who was hear ing patiently a great sorrow, surprised i a friend one day by saying: "Come with I me next Tuesday, it is my birthday, and I want you to help me celebrate it." "Why should she care to celebrate her | birthday?" thought the friend. But the next week she learned, for the sor- j rowful one went loaded with gifts to an ' institution in which she took a keen ' interest. "1 want some one to be glad that I was born," said she, and that is the noblest, best and happiest thought that can come to us on our birthdays. It is pleasant to be remembered and to receive presents, but whether surround ed with love or suffering from neglect, which is more often thoughtlessness than intention, we can make some one happier because we were born. Use of the Lemon In Manicuring;. Sliced lemon is almost as indispensa ble uu adjunct of the toilet as the tea table. It will, if used with reason, keep J the skin white.
