"Never!" cried Gianettini.

"Be that as it may, you must remem

So saying he drew from hia pocket a
jasae of parchment and a crayon, and
toning toward a table began rapidly to
' sketch a man's hand. It was represent-
open, impatient, with hollow palm,
aa if expecting a shower of gold pieces.
It had. so to speak, a sensuous, avari
saooa expression, and one of the fingers
was encircled with a massive ring.
" Tie my hand," cried Gianettini.
"And your history?, said the artist.
Giving the sketch to Antonio, its an-
-thaw dflumd him to m.vt v it tr PStvA
Benvois, librarian at the palace of St.
Mark, and demand in exchange for it 600
pistoles.
"Six' hundred fools heads!" cried the
innkeeper. "I would not give a aecchin
or it."
Without speaking the artist' turned
- Jiaughtily away.
I The gondolier took the parchment and
, looked at it with astonishment. He then
turned doubtfully toward Maria, but a
glance' from her soft dark eyes reas
sured him, and he set out on his mission.
With folded arms and a moody brow
the artist commenced pacing up and
down the large room in the hostelry,
casting at intervals a scrutinizing glance
at the young girl, who. now penitent for
her intended crime, was silently praying
in a corner. As for Gianettini, he seem
ed unable to shake off the strange ascen
dancy gained over him by his unknown
visitor; his habitual effrontery failed
him, and for the first time in his life he
dared not break silence.
An hour passed. Then hasty, joyous
steps were heard, and Antonio appeared
bearing in his hand a bag and a letter.
The bag contained 600 pistoles, and the
letter was addressed to the artist and
prayed him. to honor the senator with
a visit. ,
"Take these coins and weigh them,"
said the unknown, as he threw the bag
toward Gianettini.
Antonio Barbarigo stood before his
benefactor pale and trembling with joy.
"One favor more," he said. "Who
are you?"
"What does it matter?" '
"What does it matter, say your" cried
the gondolier. "Much much to me!
Tell me your name, that I may love and
honor it to the last moment of my life."
"Men call me Michael Angela. It is
my turn now," he said, "to ask you a
favor. It is to allow me to perpetuate
on canvas the lovely features of Maria."
The girl approached. She could not
speak, bat she clasped the painter's
hand and raised it to her lips. A tear
fell on it, and Michael Angelo, as he
drew her back, turned away to conceal
hia own emotions. -
Twenty years passed on and. fonnd
Antonio, the once humble gondolier, the
happy husband of , Maria and general of
the Venetian republic. Yet his brilliant
position never rendered him unmindful
of his early life, and his heartfelt grati
tude, as well as that of his wife, accom
panied Michael Angelo Bnonarrotti to
the end of his days.
As to the crayon sketch of the miser's
hand, it was taken from Italy by a sol
dier in Napoleon's army and placed in
the Louvre. During the invasion of 1814
it .was unfortunately lost, and so far as
can be ascertained has never since been
recovered. The story of its production,
however, still lingers among the tradi
tions of Venice. M. A. in Chicago Globe.

Why Love's Twang- Dream Is Oltaa Badly
Dispelled Shortly After the Honeymoon
Is Over Why Maas Tasta Is Generally
Different from Woman's.
The much discussed question, "Is mar
riage a failure?" came up at a small so
cial gathering a few evenings since. In
the company were an old bachelor, a
widow, several married people and .a,
couple of young persons who were ab
sorbed in unsuccessful attempts to per
suade the ' company . that they never
heard of such a thing as love's young
dream.
Various opinions were advanced and
some little warmth was becoming evi
dent in the remarks of some of the mar
ried guests. The bachelor was cynical,
the youngsters somewhat shocked and
sorrowful and the entire company un
comfortable. At length a lady who had hitherto re
mained silent was appealed to for he
opinion.
"If we judge by the amount of happi
ness we find in families," she said, "1
think we may call it a failure, for a per
fectly harmonious household is very hard
to find. There is so much selfishness and
so much indifference displayed, so much
I and so little you. that the instinct of
self preservation springs up and takes
alarm, and the individual is at once put
upon the defensive as to his or ber
rights.
' "Young people marry and begin their
homelife on a wrong basis. Courtship
and marriage, while often merely an in
cident to the man, is all absorbing to the
woman. She dreams about it, lives in
it, worries and cries over it, and throws
her whole life into the ideal as she has
read it in books. Her ideal husband is
always gentle, tender and considerate;
always comes homo with a smile on hie
face, and, although burdened with care
and perplexed with business, is never
other than a hero. She is quite likely
to forget the ideal man can be very dis
agreeable when he is hungry, and finds
little to comfort bam in kisses and blisses
if the laundress has failed to bring home
his linen, or he hasn't a quiet oormer
where he may sit down and rest.
"For man is a more solitary creature
than woman. There is an old legend to
the effect that God's original plan was to
create woman the mother of the race
first of all, but, in his far seeing wisdom,
be decided that a woman should never
be alone in the world; so man was cre
ated first, that she might find a compan
ion 'even in her earliest hours of. exis
tence, and from her infancy she craves
society, and all through her girlhood has
her little girl friends, and their aasocia- '
ation is much more intimate than that
of the boy with bis mates. And., all
through her young days how she con
fides in her girl associates and tells .them
all of her little secrets, reads .bet first I
love letter to them, and tells- them all
about the ideal which she has fashioned '
and clothed with graces as with a gar
ment. How natural that she should
carry a great deal of this ideal into her
married life and expect love and devo
tion all of the time, and that the hus
band will be as devoted and as self sacri
ficing as the lover.
"Bat all the same he isn't, and she
feels chilled-and unhappy when,-after
one greeting kiss, he looks beyond to see
if there are signs of dinner, or frowns if
there are a number of girl friends scat
tered all about the house, patting an end
to tile quiet, restful hoars he feels he
needs so much after the day's business.
He is certain that she cares less for hia
society than that of the girls, and nat
urally resents it. He thinks he married
and had his home as a place in which to
be quiet and comfortable, and makes np
his mind that he will put a stop to all
this company. Then be reflects that he
is selfish and a brute, and will do . noth
ing of the sort.
. "But such reflections never make the
average man happier. He doesn't like
to admit.' even po himself, that he is
wrong, and ,be necessity for doing so
nettles him. And they both get irritated
and petty jealousies spring np, and there
are sharp words and bitter feelings, and
everything goes wrong. Perhaps good
sense comes to the rescue, and they come
to a perfect understanding, but much
oftener they grow worse, until he rushes
away to the club, and she sits down to
mope and worry, perchance to cry; or,
following his example, seeks congenial
society, and their lives end ' in dissipa
tion or an open rapture. . r
"And all because each expects too
much of the other. Indeed, this is the
keynote of almost all unhappineas in life.
We expect too roach. Our ideal is too
high, and not finding plain, practical
facts to meet it, we are disappointed
and discouraged, and become soured and
cynical.
"It sometimes happens that two peo
ple who have passed through some of
the severest trials of existence, and have
learned wisdom from the things they
have suffered, two such congenial spir
its may meet, and with the experiences
of years stamped on their lives and char
acters may establish a home on a basis
of mutual concession and unselfish love,
and each may spend his or ber remain
ing years in the acknowledged effort to
make opto the other what life lacked
aforetime. Such homes are rare in-,
deed, but when they are found I am cer
tain that neither the members of the
household nor the few friends who are
permitted to share the beauties of -their
inner lives will go away declaring mar
riage a failure. -
"Such a home is a strung er plea for
the marriage relation than any aeries of
arguments that the most learned and
skillful theorist can bring forward. But
such relations are rare, indeed, in early
life. It is only when the spirit has been
trained to quiet toleration of the irritat
ing trifles of life that such mutual con
cession seems possible. One sided gen
tleness is dangerous to. family peace of
mind, as it is almost certain to develop
a tyrannical and overbearing disposition
in the party. ' Comradship and genuine!
respect are the best and safest spirit and
outlasts the fever heat of passion and the
storms and sunshine of adversity and
prosperity." New York Ledger.
