Instances of WherV tho Canvas of an Artist Led. to a Confession of Guilt. A Woman's Portrait and .a Stolen Diamond Ornament. 'Afa artist who had suddculy become almost famous by his production of o paint In j; exhibited ut the lioyul acad emy was one day called upon by n man whoso visit wan productive of tho most extraordinary and undreamed of consequences. Tho picture represented a lonely stretch of beach, upon which the sea was beating In long, creamy rollers. In the foreground, bending over u dead body, was a man with a wild expres sion on his face and with a naked knife iu his hand. A ship's boat, evl-J dently Just benched, was also In the picture, and by the side of the mur dered uinn was a bag of gold. The pic ture portrayed tho advent of two cast aways upon a friendly shore. The one had murdered the other so that the treasure might be his. The painter's visitor was a grny hair ed, wild eyed man. "Iu heaven's name, sir," he gasped out. "how did you lenrn the dreadful story that you painted? 1 see you know all. I murdered my muto Hill to get the money that was tils. I threw (hls body into the sea, I don't know wnat impulse leu me to tiie acnuemy. Tho first thing I saw was your picture representing the scene that took place thirty years ago." Needless to say, the picture had been the outcome of Imagination. Vet mur der will out. aud the guilty conscience of the man who had killed his comrade for lust of gofd had convinced him that the painting was no coincidence, but was Indeed the actual portrayal of a dastardly and unwitnessed crimes There is probably no ii-ruiv letter known in Knglaud than "Jtn Doctor," by Luke Kilties, yet there are proba bly very few people aware of the fact that that selfsame masterpiece was the means of bringing to light the per pet radon of a crime that would other wise never have been known. A certain doctor in n large towu com m it ted suicide, and among his papers was a letter which ran as follows: "I have today seen Luke Tildes' 'Doctor.' The picture represents u medical mau watching by the bedside of a Child. It has so haunted me that 1 am going to take away my own worthless life aud make a coufessiou at the same time. When Arthur's" bis brother's "boy died 1 came into money that my dead brother had Retried on him. lie died as all the world .thought of acute pneu monia. Yet Ids life might have been saved had I acted, ns Tildes' 'Doctor' is so evidently doing, with the use of .all thet skill that lay In my power. I hastened the boy's eud and so got the money. I can bear It no more." A well known artist was commission ed to paint the portrait of a lady In ex alted circles win li 'stcd the posses sion of a 'mo-TUi.; ,ue ewel In the form of a pom.. i. it. The lady was very anxious that liiio heirloom should be included In her portrnit. The nrtlst, of course, compiled with her request, Shortly after the painting had been completed u daring burglary was per petrated, with tlie' result fhat the lady lost her heirloom, and no trace of tho thief or thieves -was forthcoming. Years passed by, nnd the lady gave up all hope of ever seeing the precious heirloom again. Now, It so happened that tho artist who bad painted the portrait of tho lady mentioned had occasion to travel in India. In the course of IiN wanderings be t came to Bombay a .d. us every visitor I to that place does, strolled through the i native bazaar. I Suddenly his .mention was riveted ' by a piece of wi-iry in a Jeweler's j shop that seeiu.it UiniVar to him. It ' was a diamond and ruby pendant i Where had he seen it before? Ho run i sacked his brain, but could not remeui ' ber. lie returned to his hotel and hap pened to take from his portfolio a sketch of the portrait he hod mado years ago of the lady with the petulant. In a moment the enigma .was solved. The piece of Jewelry he had seen was the peculiar-pendant that his fair sit ter bad been so anxious he should lu cludo in his portrait. , . lie hurried off to the chief of police and told that worthy what he suspect- j ed namely, tlmt the bnznar ho had visited contained the long lopt jewel ) of the English lady. Inquiries were at once set on foot with extraordinary re- i suits. The Jeweler in the bazaar con- j fessed to having given years ago a quite Insignificant sum for the Jewel, j which he had bought from a stable- ' man In the employ of a neighboring I rajah. The stableman was sought for , aud turned out to be none other than j a famous English cracksman who had apparently turned honest but who. i nevertheless, confessed to having been the thief of the Jewel jjhat had been bo miraculously discovered.
