will forget you, for all that.”
That was Just before Hulbert Leslie ask­
ed me to be his wife. We were marriod
the next spring, and I went to New York
to live.
We had a little bit of a room, opening
out of Hulbert’s studio, whero wo kept
house like a pair of turtle doves In a nest.
Although Hulbert was such a genius, and
had painted so many beautiful pictures,
he was young, and comparatively un­
known, and we found it hard to live, par­
ticularly after the twins had opened their
blue eyes on the wintry sunshine of a glo­
rious February day. I had done a little
fancy needle-work for tho store heretofore
but now my hands were tied, and It was
hard to see the shadows creep over Hul­
bert’s brow, and know that I had no pow­
er to lift them. So the years went by.—
More little ones clustered around oar
scanty board, and although Hulbert wor­
ked hard and conscientiously, there wiere
other artists who pandered to the publle
taste, and received more orders. We were
very poor.
“ Hulbert,” said I, one day, when the
load of poverty had been almost more
than we could bear, “ don’ t you wish you
had never married 7”
“ Do I wish the sunshlno had never
come Into my life 7” he asked. “ Never
put that question again, little wife. What
would existence be worth without yon
and the bairnles 7”
“ If you could only sell that thousand
dollar picture,” I sighed, thinking of
something that had been on the easel for
months. He shrugged his shoulders.
"Harper says It isn’t worth a copper,”
said he. “ Harper thinks it Is far beyond
the popular standard of appreciation.”
I sighed, but in spite of all our priva­
tion I would not have asked Hulbert to
lower his grand Ideal of art. I was proud
o f it. I was proud of hlin.
Hulbert came in from the studio next
day with a radiant face.
“ Wifey, the golden age has dawned,and
pure Art is appreciated at least. I have
said my picture.”
“ Not the “ Sunrise 7”
“ Yes, the “ Sunrise,’ Look ! I have a
check for a thousand dollars, signed by
Signora EstellaSeverini, the prima don­
na who is now singing at the Academy.—
She is in the studio now, and she says she
wants to be introduced to the artist’s
wife.”
“ But Hulbert, my dress ! My gingham
dress t”
“ Oh, your dress Is w ill enough, Mrs.
Cindrella,” he cried, laughing as he drew
me towards the door.
A lady sat In the modeal’s chair—a tall,
superbly moulded lady, dressed in velvet,
and an Indian shawl, with hair of rippled
purplish black, and large dusky eyes. The
moment she looked up I knew her again.
“ Stella ! Stella Severn t” I cried with a
sort of gasp.
She arose, laughing and crying, and ran
into my arms.
“ Effie, darling, to think that we should
meet, after all these years.”
She told me, then, her story. How, at-
' ter long battling with the world's vicissi­
tudes, she had come across an opera man­
ager who perceived the hidden treasure
that existed in her voice, and voluntarily
assumed the expense of training It.
“ And I am rich and famous now,” said
she, “ I can pay back the debt I owe to you
Effie, for I think if it had not been for you
and your dollar bill, that winter night, I
should have been drive«* to swallow that
little vial of laudanum I had already In
my pocket.”
“ Oh, Stella !”
“ Ah, but I should, you do not knowhow
persecuted and haunted I was, Effie—but
thank God, that is over I”
Signora Severini’s check was the begin­
ning of our new fortunes; it was the fash­
ion to copy her whims and caprices. Oth­
er people bought because she did—ann
pretty soon we were able to move into a
pretty cottage of our own in the suburbs.
And when my mother and Deaeon Cor­
nell, down In the country, heard what
Stella Severn had become, they declared
sagely:
£ “ Well, there’s never any telling how
things may turn out in this woTld.”
A Petrified Baby.
A St. Clair letter to the Albany Country
Gentleman says: We are having a very In­
teresting mystery here in the shape of
the second edition of the famous Cardiff
Giant. Two men living in the town o f
Kimball, ten miles from Fort Hudson,
while out hunting, stopped to gathsr
specimens of stone from a gravel bed In
the Pine river that was washed out from
the bank near by during the freshet a
year ago. In this loose bank they uncov­
ered a stone resembling the face of a
child. After looking at it in wonder for a
time they, thinking of the doubt that
hangs over the discovery o< the famous gi­
ant, went out and brought fifteen or twen­
ty men to witness this before taking it
out. It was then removed with amass of
gravel adhering. The face, chin, throat,
part of the right arm, shoulders, breast,
part of the right arm and the whole of the
other showed distinctly In perfect form,
all the rest merging into amass of gravel
and small hose, cemented together the
same as seen in any gravel pit. The right
arm is bent, the fore arm is lying across
the body; the other is bent below the el­
bow. They eyes are well defined and very
broad; forehead flat and sloping, nose
sm all, sharp; nostrils open; lips very thin
flat; mouth well defined—curve of the
lips perfectly natural; chin square; slight
depression or dimple over the breast bone
als,o just above the arm where the arnve
meet. The form of the breast is perfect.
The skin on the surface is smooth, not
showing the marks of tools. Some called
it a petrified child, and account for tbb
great breadth of thq bead at the eyes ^
some pressure that flattenoe the forehead.
Among the small stones are petrified cor­
al, shells, &c.,,suoh as are bery common
