Mr. Barnickel's Portrait
the
-!i:7 Original.)
, ; When Mr. Barnlckel got rich
first thing he wanted was a crest.
which he found, though his title to It
was rather thin, and the next was his
portrait to hang in his drawing room
and to hand down to his descendants
as the lineaments of the relnstitutor of
the family. Arnold Elliott was at that
time the principal portrait painter tu
tb city where Mr. Barnlckel lived,
and to him Mr. Barnlckel gare the or-
ier, agreeing to pay for the portrait
tsoa v
Now, although Mr. Barnlckel had
dealt In hides, an article not calculated
to stimulate the Imaginative faculty,
V imagination was strong. The mo
vent he set himself op as a relnstitu
tor of his family he saw himself a fine
looking, dignified gentleman of aristo
cratic mien and benevolent counte
nance, in truth, tte was a crafty look-
tag man with a money making nose.
Be saw the picture of himself grow-
kig up In the hands of the artist as he
was and not as he thought himself.
Be made several protests, but when
M attempted to point out the errors
a signally failed.. He could not give
fee artist his conception of himself,
and the artist had no choice but to
paint him as Mr. BarnlckeL' When the
portrait was' finished, there sat the
merchant looking for all the world 'as
If be were buying a cargo' of hides.'
' When Mr. Barnlckel saw the portrait
he refused to accept It on the ground
that his best friend wouldn't take It
for him. " ;- - -
Aa soon as Mr. Elliott got a little
par time he hooked Mr. BarnlckeTs
portrait up against the wall of his
Studio, covered it with a sheet of
drawing paper and on the paper
sketched prison bars. This done, he
cut out the paper between the bars,
leaving Mr. Barnlckel in Umbo. Un
derneath he placed the title of the pic
ture, "A Prisoner For Debt"
" It was not long before one who knew
Br. Barnlckel well saw him behind
hers. Had he loved Mr. Barnlckel be
would have gone to him at once with
the information. But he didn't love
Br. Barnlckel few people did so he !
Vent about telling those who knew the '
lido dealer of the rare sight to be!
teen, and Mr. ElUotfs studio at once
became very popular. . Indeed, from
among those who visited it to see "A
Prisoner For Debt" he secured a num
ter of orders.
' The episode at last reached a mem
ber of the Barnlckel family, and the
family head was Informed. The same
morning he drove up to Mr. ElUotfs
studio, alighted In a hurry, cUmbed the
stairs in anger and burst into the stu
dio In a passion. There hung the pic
ture, and there sat the artist quiescent
at his easel
"What do you mean by perpetrating
that outrage?" shouted Mr. Barnlckel.
pointing to the picture.
"What outrage V asked the artist
without discontinuing his work.
"Putting my portrait behind bars."
"Tour portrait? That isn't your por
trait You said yourself that no one
would recognize it"
The merchant saw that he could not
demand the removal of the objection
able features without eating his words.
He went out, slamming the door be
lind him. He bad been triumphant in
too many deals to be beaten by a pic
ture maker; he would find a way to
get round the "Imposition."
But before he found his way he
heard that a new feature had been at
tached to the portrait The artist bad
removed the bars and the title, replac
ing the latter with the words "Ton
Want Too Much."
' The title fitted the expression on the
face so well and Mr. Barnickel's Idle-!
syncrasies were so keenly appreciated j
use a new ioi oi people came pouring
into the studio to see Old Scrooge, as
they called him, buying hides, though
some declared that he was disputing
the price of his portrait Mr. Bar
nlckel was made aware of the change
by receiving an anonymous letter In
quiring which of these two interpreta
tions of the title was correct
By this time the merchant bad con
sulted his lawyer, who advised him
that the most satisfactory way out of
the difficulty was to pay for the pic
ture and take it away. Therefore on
receipt of the anonymous note he drew
bis check for f 500, jumped into his car
riage and drove to Mr. Elliott's studio.
On entering his eyes naturally sought
the picture. The expression had been
changed. Instead of Mr. Barnlckel
beating down a seller, It was Mr. Bar
nlckel Just having bought at bis own
price. There was no title attached to
the picture. Instead a bit of cardboard
Tested upon it on which In big letters
was inscribed "Sold."
' Mr. Barnlckel saw the word and was
seised with a new anxiety. He, and
only be, could not see its double mean,
ing. ' "" " ','
"There's your check. Send that daub
home," he said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Barnlckel Don't yon
see the card on the picture?" 1
"That's bosh.' No one wouid want
my" He stopped. He was about to
yield to his beating down propensities
and add "ugly mug," but remembered
himself. 1
"I don't think the purchaser cares
much for it" said Mr. Elliott coolly.
"Ton might get it at an advance oh
the original price."
"How much is the" Mr. Barnlckel
was about to' say swindle, but feared
to make matters worse. ,
, Mr, Elliott arose, went to the pic
tore and cut it in ribbons.
-ine episode Is ended, Mr, Barnlckel
t have to thank you for many orders
secured through your portrait"

THE SHIPS OF TYRE.
Types of These Vessels Still In Use In
the Far Cast.
Away back, even when Solomon was
king In Israel, the ships of Tyre,
manned by brave Phoenician sailors,
went through the prehistoric canal
where the Sues channel is now and
navigated from China clear around to
England.1' . . ' "'
Their ships were the models for
Greece and Rome and later for Venice,
the Spaniards and the Portuguese.
Only the Englishman improved 1 on
shipbuilding, and from him all mod
era models have dated. ' :
In the old Tryt models the waist of
the ship was low, so the oars could
get good play on the surface of the
ocean, fend the sterns were lofty, so as
to give' room for stowing cargoes and
to provide dry quarters for the upper
manner. . . t ?'.4
As wind power cam into us the
waist grew higher and the poep deck
disappeared. Step by step from galley
to caravel, from caravel to frigate, the
British shipwrights improved on the
Ships of Tyre.
But In the far east the models have
remained much the same, and the ship
makers of Persia and India have stuck
to the old Tyrtan models to the pres
ent day. "
Today their high square sterns re
call the ships of Columbus. The mar
iners still have to get out of sight of
land and steer by stars and the feet of
the wind on cloudy nights. They sail
around Trinidad and carry pilgrims to
Mecca. ' '
These vessels, on which the queen of
Sheba might have traveled to visit
Solomon, are used by native Hindoos,
Arabs and by the peoples of Indo-
Chlna. ;
' On board the captain, his men, the
cargoes, pilgrims and sheep, asses and
other live stock Uve In a proximity
that would stir an American's stomach

"An hour, two hours went by. Still
