The picture was very cliarming.
There was no denying that. Frank
Harwood stood at the window of
the shop and stared at it, as lie
had done every day for the lust
week. The execution of the work
was not faultless. Home crudities
marred it, blit the ensemble was
bewitching.
Tlie face, ihat of a girl in the
lirst fresh bloom of maidenhood—
looked back at you over one mis-
tily-draped white shoulder. The
liquid eyes were laughter-lit, the
slightly parted scarlet lips had a
shy droop, there was a little,
round dimple in the chin, the hair
that melted into the soft gown and
dusky background was a wind-
blown tangle of reddish gold.
Harwood entered the shop, shut-
ting out the whirling snowflakes
behind him.
“Is that picture—the pastel por-
trait in the window—for sale!” lie
inquired.
“No sir,” he was told.
“Can you tell me the name of
the original?’7
“1 do not know it, sir. The por-
trait was left here as a sample to
solicit orders.”
“You are sure it is a portrait —
not merely au ideal head?”
“The artist said so.”
“Give me his name and address,
please.”
But when the rising young bar-
rister had the slip safe in his peek
ot-book and was out again in the
white wintry world lie began to
feel uncomfortably conscious that
in this particular instance he was
uot acting with the discretion on
which hr ordinarily prided him
self-
lie was a trifle troubled, too, by
the recollection of a certain con
versatiou hold with his aunt the
previous evening. She was the
deraest lady in the world and the
most generous. She had brought
young Harwood up, had given
him the host procurable educa-
tion, and three years of continent-
al tiavel. llut on otic point, the
question of his probable marriage,
she was inclined (o he dictatorial,
he t bought.
“So you refused to meet Miss
Fainsworth, Frank?” she had
asked.
“Asa suitor—yes,” he had re-
plied, positively.
Frank felt that he must see the
original of the portrait, so discre-
tion was thrown to the winds, and
starting on his quest he reached a
row of high, tint faced, dreary, red
houses. In one of these tlieartist
must live.
lie found the number and rang
the bell. A surly woman, with a
smudge of soot on her check,
opened the door.
“Mr.Vincent Brand?’’asked Har-
wood.
“Third floor back,” she returned
shortly.
Harwood knocked. A voice
hade him enter. He went in. The
room was large, bare and dreary.
Some sketches were taken on the
walls. An easel and chair stood
in (lie center of the apartment. A
handful of (ire and a tiny sheet-
iron stove made the cold of the
place more noticable.
“Mr. Brand, I believe?”
The occupant, an invalid witli
deatti written in his hollow eyes
and on his blue-veined bands,
bowed assent.
“I came,’’ said Harwood, de-
clining the solitary chair which
was proffered him, “about the pic-
ture exhibited in Mercer’s win-
dow. Is it for sale?”
“No, sir.”
“Not at a large figure?”
The artist did not answer at
once. He was ill and very poor.
“Not at any price,” he said.
“You could not make me a
copy?”
“No, sir. The truth of the mat-
ter is this: The young lady who
consented to sit Tor that picture
did so out of her own sweet char-
ily. Blic is so beautiful and makes
such a fine study, I fancied her
face would bring me orders, where
one less lovely, even if admirable
as a likeness, would fail. I need
not enumerate to yon the reasons
why it would be dishonorable for
me to abuse her kindness.”
“I understand your reasons. Mr.
Brand, and respect them. May I
give yon an order for a life-si/.ed
pastel from ibis photograph?”
He had fortunately remembered
having in bis pocket the picture
of a nephew that morning receiv-
ed. The commission would help
the poor artist.
A light tap was heard.
“May I come in Vincent?” called
a sweet voice.
The door opened. Frank Har-
wood turned to look into the face
that bad haunted him waking and
sleeping, but u thousand times
fairer than the colored crayons
had reproduced it.
She half drew back at the sight
of the stranger, but Brand called
to her:
“Gouie in, Claire.” And then,
with youthful eandor: “This gen-
tleman was just askingahout your
portrait.”
She bowed slightly. She was
all in rich furs and deep glowiug
velvet. The elegance of her at
tiro puzzled Frank.
“I hope the pic'ure is bringing
you orders, Vincent.’’
“It is, indeed,” be answered,
brightly.
“Well, it is late. I must go. I
just ran in to see how you were
getting on.”
lie smothered in a fit of cough-
ing.
“You have ttie carriage?”
“No, I am on foot.”
“1 shall seo you home, then,” the
artist said, looking troubled. “This
is not I ho best neighborhood in
the world, and it is growing dark.’’
The fierce cough shook him
again.
“You shall do nothing of the
kind!” she said, peremptorily.
Harwood went forward, hat in
hand.
“Will you do me the honor ot
permitting tin to accompany you?
1 am sorry I have not a card. My
name is Frank Harwood.”
She hud been listening witli a
somewhat haughty air. She smiled
now with sudden friendliness.
“I shall he glad if you will come
with me,” she suit! simply.
On their way she told him about
Brand, whom she had known from
childhood.
“He is dying,” she said. “It is
hard to help him; he is so proud.”
The house before which she
paused was a magnificent one.
Harwood mustered courage to
ask if lie might call.
“No,” site said, gently, and then,
as if repenting, “1 shall bo at
Brand’s studio Friday.”
She ran up ttie steps.
Needloss to say, Harwood was
in tlie painter’s room early on Fri-
day afternoon. The number of or-
ders be gave quite overwhelmed
the artist. She came at last, her
face like a rose over her dark
furs.
They met, not quite by chance,
many times, and still Frank did
not learn her name. He called
her Miss Claire.
One evening when he was leav-
ing the studio with tier, he told
her the story of how he had first
happened to come there.
“I fell in love with a pastel por-
trait,’’ he said. “I am to day in
love with the original. But I know
so little of you it seems like being
in love witli a spirit. Are you go-
ing to punish my presumption or
reward my darling?”
She indicated her carriage that
stood at the curb.
“Gel in,” she said, smiling, “1
chance to l»e drivingyour way.
The vehicle stopped at
aunt’s door.
•‘Do you know my aunt?” lie
asked.
■Just then his aunt came towards
them.
“Claire, dear,” she cried. “Why
Frank, where did you meet Miss
Fainsworth?”
“Fainsworth!”he repeated blank-
ly. “Yon”—he reproached Claire ]
—knew me all the timet”
“Do yon think I would have let
me see you home that night if I
did not?”
“VYhat in the world are yon chil-
dren talking about!” Frank’s aunt !
questioned.
They only laughed.
But there was that in the lovely
eyes raised to his which told him
he might plead again—and not in !
vain.—Exchange.

agraphs from the Atlanta Journal:
UNHAPPY END OF “BILL’' GRAIN’S
CAREER.
From our own correspondent.
‘Washington, February 11 — The
druth of Representative Crain, of
Texas—the first member to die
since tlie opening of the present
sessiou of congress—was as sail
as it was unexpected, and Iiub
thrown a temporary pall of gloom
over the house.’
‘When ‘Bill’ Crain first came to
congress—the forty-ninth—be was
only thirty-seven, rich, handsome
and talented beyond the majority
of liis fellows. Ho came brimful
of uuibitiou, hope and health, en-
joying the perfect confidence of

sessing the elements of a success-
ful and honorable public service.
•It is far from my purpose to dis-
tress those .who love him or to say
aught but good of him—for, after
all, his faults—whether right or
wrong—are those that most all
men are quick to condone.
‘Suffice it to say that in the hey-
dey of his youth lie fell into the
hands of the gilded Philistines ol
the capital. His talents were soon
lying dormant and his money went
so fast that lie hardly realized that
he had nothing ieti but the confi-
dence of liis own people and bis
congressional salary to live upon.
‘The moral of it all is that Wash
ington is a had place for young
men with money and talent coupl-
ed with convivial habits.

“He is dead now, poor fellow—
killed in bis prime by the bar-room
which runs night and day, Sunday
and Monday, just below the bull,
in which our congressmen meet.

“Cover him with flowers and
hurn incense around his bier—yon
who murdered liim!
“Chant the requiem and bless
ihe grave you whose cowardly si-
lence let tlie assassin strike him
down!
“Praise his generous nature, eu-
logize his talent, pour forth re-
grets that his brilliant prospects
were so shrouded in the eternal
night—you whose base panderings
to parly flung the weeds of wid-
owhood around his wife!

“If that bar-room was driven
out of tlie buildiug, the tempta-
tion to weak congressmen would
not lie so great.
“Faculty leads to crime.
“The very fact that the tempt-
ing drink is so close by, so con-
venient, melts the resistance of
many a member who would never
walk hack into the city for a
drink.
“The very fact that tlie bar is
run as a part of the congressional
restaurant, is screened from pub
lie view, is easy of access and
offers choice companionship, as
well ns concealment, makes the
pitfall the more poriliotis.
“Mr. Preacher—you who lecture
your congregation so often on the
sacred duties of going to church
and paying your salary—how much
I . 1 have you done to arouse public in-
dignation against ttiis national dis-
grace of the congressional bar-
room?
“How many times have your
brethren in Washington preached
against it?
“How many times lias tlie chap
lain of llte house or the chaplain
of the senate, prayed to the most
high God to blast witn his divine
wrath tlie abominations which
ttiose chaplains knew to pxist
within sixty feet of where they
prayed?

Doctors are often handicapped by the
mere fact that when treating the diseases of
women, they suggest and insist on “exam-
inations" and ‘‘local treatment ” A great
many of them do not know that this is abso-
lutely unnecessary. Many a woman has
been thrown into a dangerous state of net
vous excitement by the mere suggestion of
such treatment. Many women He to the
doctor. That sounds hard, but it is un
doubtedly true. They know that if they
admit certain symptoms that the doctot
will inevitably insist on sn "examination.''
They do not give him all the fact* in th*
case, and so he works in the d*tk. Quite
often the doctor Is too busy and too burned
to make the necessary effort to obtain the
facts. He frequently treats symptoms for
what they appear to he on the surface, when
the real cause and the real sickneas is deepei
and more dangerous. A derangement of
the distinrttv feminine organs will derange

what is called "female weaknesa;" the
other is constipation, for these two thing*
frequently go together. Dr. Pierce’* F»-
vorite Prescription is designed for the core
of diseases and disorder* of women, and H
