I am au artist Crow a child 1 have (ceil adsorbed iu the beauties of u Uire and their transmission to an other form. As a boy I could make these transformations so successfully that my picture attracted the atten tion of my friends. Nothing would do but that I must be educated tor au artist. lint there was no tueaus for the pur ms. A younger sister of mine had lieen left a small legacy by her grand mot lie r. My sister Kleauor wan her uauie insisted on devoting this money to my education. I decllucd to accept it at lirst, but she Insisted that I would t a successful artist, my pictures would sell it good prices, aud I could reny her. Thus encouraged, I con sented aud entered au art school. I'll fortunately my education took from me the ability I had sbowu lu freehand drawing. The technique re quired for work that would puss the critics was obnoxious to me. Never theless, I persevered and mastered It. ttut I never regained the ability I had lossessed to hit off souiethiug that ill dictated geuius. I spent several years after bolug irruduuted at tlie art school painting pictures, which were uo better thau hundreds of other artists could paint. I regretted that I had accepted uiy sis tor's Ion u. for 1 was scarcely able to muke enough money to keep body and soul together, to say uotlilng of paying what 1 hud borrowed. One winter I broke donu In health and lu the spring was told I must have chauge of scene and air to build up my strength. Iu my weakened con ditiou my debt to uiy sister got nu my mind, aud I could out get It otf. Klea uor begged uie to stop worrying abou: it. but without suecetwi. I was sens off to the seashore aud lodged lu a tislierniau'a cottage. One morning I was sitting on the iorch of the cottage looking out ou the ocean.

Some fishermen were petting out their bout, gulls were dyiu3 hither and thither oierhead, one occasionally darting dnwu to pollute U!m a tish. 1 was seized with a de sire natural to an artist-to portray this scene. I had Dot been permitted to bring my artist's tools with Die, so I could not do as I wished. As I sat In my comfortable wicker chair, fanned by a balmy sea breeze. I bepan to work over au imaginary cuiivas. laying dowu ou it the view before uie. The picture grew lu my mind as plainly as If I were really putting It on liuv.is. I worked without effort-or at least seemed to do so and was conscious of transferring the scene before me ess aetly as It was without the Ins of any of its subtle beauties. Nevertheless there must have been a severe mental effort, for tin soon as I hud finished my Imaginary or menial work I lost coiisclou.Huess aud kuev untiling till liite In the afternoon, vvhe.i I found m.VHelf in bed.

I asked her who litid paid it, and she said that I bad pniil It i.iv self. Further lliuu tliut she would give me uo information until I hud fully recovered. One day after I had got stronger I went, uribeknowu to any one. to a room at home that I had used for a studio There was a desk lu it. and. going to this desk without any definite oliject.

One morning while I was at the sea shore she had come Into rny studio aud something, she knew not what, had prompted her to sit down liefore my easel, take my Implement and begin to sketch. She had no ability whatever as an artist and was astonished to see a marine view grow on the canvas Nevertheless, when she had finished she had no idea that she bad produced a marvelous picture.
