AN ARTISTS IDYL Maurice strolled aimlessly through the umbrageoua forest The rain had ceased, but from the leave drops of water atill dripped with the light sound of a trick ling fountain. At a distance the path he was following opened on a green gludo. The trunks of the trees were dark, their branches darker atill, and the spreading foliage of the chestnuts meeting above the head of the young artlnt, seemed like the vault of a cathedral at the hour when Ilia divlininif sun sends through the many colored windows a mysterious light Into the obscurity of the interior. Maurice loved the hour when the day dies, when a gray tint fails upon all ob jecta, confounding their contours, soft ening their angles and rounding their outlines. lie walked slowly, each mo ment discovering in the forest some beauty he bud not seen before, and filled with that tender admiration for nature which is a part of genius. Having reached the glade, he looked about hiux The grans waa green and fresh; the delicuto leaves of the trees glistened under the drops of rain which had fallen upon them. lie paused that he might better observe the scene which seemed more impressive In the gathering .Imdows than in the full lichlof the sun. lie saw the pretty alight form of a girl advancing from a clump of beech trees. bhe walked w ith a supple step, wunoui seeing Maurice, who, as motionless as the trunk of the tree near which he stood, looked at her Intently. When a few paces from bun the girl saw mm, trembled, and let full a small bundle of fagota she w as carrying on her head. "You frightened me, 'ie saiu, smu Inc. and her large dark eyes sparkled gayly under her tangled yellow hair. lie looked at nor 0 moment w nuoui replying. Complete htiriuony, which it Is impossible to descrilio, existed between this pretty, smiling girl, the foliage of the gludo and the tone or IU lunciseapo. "ltemaln where you are," suid the young man; "1 want to sketch you." She waa about to brush buck the locks that had fullen over her forehead, but he stopped her with a gesture. "Stand juntas you are," He seated himself on a stone and rapid ly sketched the face and form of hla young modcL She was a peasant, but delicate and slight, aa are these young girls before they complete development, which ia often lute. Her eyea were already those of a woman; her smile was still that of a child. "How old are you?" asked the artist as he worked. "I shall be sixteen soon." "Is it possible! I thought you younger." "I am small," she said, with a frank smilo, "but I shall grow quickly, and by Saint John's Eve I shall have a lover." "Why ou Saint John's Eve?" asked the young man, pausing in hia work and looking nt her. "Because then we shall dance around the bonllrea." So soon was this pure brow, these In nocent eyes, this childish mouth to be profaned by the caresses of some stupid rustic) Maurice experienced a vogue feeling of jealousy. "Would you like to have me for your lover?" ho asked, aa he returned to hia work. "You? Ahl you are a gentleman, I am a peasant. Honest girls do not listen to gentlemen." Such ia the codo of virtue among vil lagers. The young man mado no reply to her words, but said: "I can see no longer. Will you return here to-morrow a little earlier?" "For my picture?" "Yea." "1 will return. Good evening." She took up her fagots, and, passing under the arching chestnuts, soon disap peared in tho shades of evening. Maurice returned home dreaming of the girl with the yellow hair. Although he had often before seen pretty peasants, whom he had regarded with an artist's eye, he seemed to look on this girl with the jealous eyes of a lover. That night and the next day seemed long to him, and some time before Uie appointed hour he was in the glade. He worked by himself, and when, a little later, the young girl arrived, looking at the sketch, she exclaimed with an air of coquetry and surprise: "Ah, it ia II Are you going to give it tome?" "No, I will make a small- picture for you." "And this one, what are you going to do with it?" "It is going to Paris, It will be put in a large frame, it will be hung in a grand salon and all the world will go to see it," "Ahl yea, 1 know, at the exposition." "You know what that is?" "There have been artists here before who painted pictures for the exposition, as they said, but they never painted my portrait" The day waa drawing to a beautiful close. The atmosphere had the soft, del icate tones which had delighted Maurice on the previous evening, and his work advanced rapidly. He painted on the picture afterward In his studio. He determined to make it hia best work. Being already well known, it waa do longer necessary for him to seek to make a name, neverthe less he waa certain that this picture would set the seal on hia reputation. By the time he bad finished the pic ture to his satisfaction, winter had come and Maurice was in lore with his little model Ue loved her too much to tell her of his love, too much to tear from her na tive meadow this flower of maidenhood whom be could not make bis wife, but enough to suffer at the thought of part ing from her. She hail naught that goes to the making of happiness in life, neither depth of sentiment, nor devotion which make one forget all else, nor passion which excuse all things; li was simply a pretty flower of the fluid, a little vain, a little coquettish, without either grave fault or great virtue Maurice knew that ah could be notiucs to him, yet he adored the beautiful outlines ol her scarcely developed form, which the fold Other coarse gown chastely enveloped yet could not all conceal He loved thobo deep eyea, that smiling mouth, those yel low tresaea, always in disorder, tho little handkerchief that crossed her bosom; all theae he loved, and It waa with pain be thought of parting from them. One ul ways part with pain from what bo ex pect never again to see. It is so hard to leave behind one a bit of one's life that be has no right to keep. He had carried oh" her picture, how. ever, and before this he piwscd the beat hours ot the winter ceoiilesbly laboring to perfect a work already perfect The painting wo greatly admired. The critics were unanimous in their en thusiasm, but they declared thul such a face could not exist except In the mind of a poet or In the imagination of a pain ter. Maurice listened to ull this with a smile and kept to himself the secret of the sweet face that bad iimplivd him. He received fluttering ollera for his picture; none of his previous paintings bad commanded so high a price; he de clined to sell It; he also refused to allow it to be engraved. As he was unaLlo to possess tho model of the picture he was determined to keep tne latter. It was autumn when ho returned to the village where he had met the little maid with the yellow huir. Since be hod painted ber portrait, twice had the bonfires of St John's Eve seen the Imnds of Joyous peasants dunclng nlsiut them, and as he thought of the young girl he smiled sadly, wondering which of the village rustics had made her his choice His first pilgrimugo was to the forest of chestnuta. As durkneas conies ejuick ly on October evenings, he hastened along the forest walk; but It was not yet dark and raya of amber light still truv eracd the forest, falling uimjii the leaves that trembled on their branches and upon thoso thut rustled under bis feet With the odor of dead leaves came a thousand regrets, sorrowful memories and bitter thoughts which filled him with unspeakable sadnesa, with a greater distaste for life than he had ever before experienced. When he reached the glade he seated himself in the same place where two years before he had sketched tho picture which had crowned his fame. The cold stone on which be sat seemed to mock all his tender feelings. "A peasant! a coquette! She would have loved me had I wished it," ho suid to himself. "Others like her have loved artists and followed them to Paris, where they have disappeared beneath tho foam of the sea of life which surires through the great city, without cmulicring w ith bonds those who introduced them into the world of art and intellect Ho ia a fool who sacrifices to his dreams, to an Idea, the good things of this world, tho love of woman, the clory which talent brings, tho opportunity which leads to success." While he thus renounced the gods of hla youth, he saw approaching him, over the well known path, tho girl who hud been hia model, now a largo young woman. She was not alone; a peasant walked beside ber, holding her by the hand; he waa a handsome fellow, strong and well built, and well-to-do for one of hia class. He leaned toward her, and from time to time kissed a tear from her cheek. When they saw Maurice they paused, confused and surprised. "And this," he thought, "is tho girl of whom I have dreamed." But he took pity on her when, In a voice of sighs, she suid to him: "They do not wish us to marry. I nrn poor, he is well off, and his mother docs not want me for a daughter-in-law; she even talks of disinheriting him." "And you, you do not wish to he dis inherited)'" Maurice said ironically to the young man. "Why, one must livol" "That is true. I am sorry for you, my children." They departed. Maurice, when left to himself, took his head between his hands and thought for a long time. His ideal waa destroyed. In this young peasant woman, still handsome, but about to dovcKip into a commonplace matron, naught remaiued of his pretty model with the yellow huir. "Thus it is with our dreams," ho said, as he arose. "All that remains la the opportunity of doing a little good." He wrote to Paris that same evening, and a few days afterward he presented himself at tho house of the young woman. "1 have sold your portrait," be said to her in the presence of her astonished mother. "It boa brought a large price, indeed a little fortune. I base brought the money to you in order that you may marry your lover." Translated from the French of Henry Greville by A. Ii. Haven for The Epoch. Inleismtlut Kxparlinctitt. Try the following simple experiment and it will explain the interchange of fluids in the lungs. Put a mixture of water and alcohol in a bottlo and leave uncorked, the water and alcohol have a greater affinity for air than for each other. Alcohol having the greatest af finity for the air will be diffused tlirough it more readily than the water when there is no intervening ohtitnclo; but tie a piece of bladder over the mouth of the J bottle, let it stand a few days.

I think I have heard of one on the Ilomathco river, but of the Stlckeen a marvelous story Is told. Then is a great glacier descending out of the high snowfield to tho north, and title b ancient times flowed right acrost tbt valley, meeting a lesser Ice stream from the bciKhtsopiosite. The St ickeen flowed under the Ice in a tunnel, and at vert low water the passage was too small fa it, although the water must hare beet banked up Into a lake at the eprin freshet A SHATTERED TRADtTIOIt. Now, the Slcane Indians of the tippet valley used to regard this tunnel In the ice as leading to the "sweet by ttii by." They were therefore very im ious to avoid the place. But ones the tribe was encamped not far ahovs the glacier, and there was a very old ou and bis wife witA them who were too mean to dio liecau.- e of the expeseof p'V. ing a funeral feast They were very rick and of no use, and had large appetites, and their relatives at last consented It part with them. They were therefore set adrift in a leaky canoe and consigned to the current, and all the people, a scious of self sacrifice, stood on the buk and watched the canoe vanish into the tunnel, and felt good. Now, the old peoplo wcro very frightened andsquesled a good deal, but when the blue shidosi of the ice closed over them they tliought they were dead Indians, and behartd accordingly. Presently the old lulj thought it was getting light, and beomi curious and looked about her. Then iht kicked the old man and asked if hi didn't wish they were at the funeral feast, Ue looked up and found the canoe out it the open again, the glacier behind them, and the world pretty much as usuil They got ashore, cut paddles snd pola, and prepared to go home again. The old man began to be hungry for the greui boxes; the old lady set her heart oa grease and berries, and they both deter mined to get home for the banquet, since they had assisted at the funeral Well, by dint of making the old lady work, while he steered and gave good advice, they succeeded in making their way up tlirough the tunnel and home, and were in ample time for the feast In fact the; lived happily every afterward.
