A STORY FROM PARIS.
AN INTERESTING ROMANCE OF A
THOUGHTLESS PAINTER.
The Widow Who Came to Dispossess the
Negligent Artist Staid to Accept tlif
' Ive, and Later His Hand and Heart.
A Little Child Led Them.' .
. There is a friend of mine, a painter,
yrbo has all the talents and no talent of
(his own. He would copy or imitate a
Oreuze or a Watteau to perfection. A
Diaz by him only wants the signature,
which an unscrupulous dealer does not
liesitate to forge. My friend, whom we
will call Dnrand, ia on . excellent man,
industrious and clever, but too negligent
to take the initiative in anything, even
ia painting. Well, he had given notice
to quit his apartment in July, on the
fifteenth day of the month, at noon, ac
cording to the customs of the country.
He had, however, been so absorbed in
Us painting that he had forgotten to re
tain a wagon to takeaway his furniture,
sad when he did at last concern himself
' About the matter he only succeeded in
securing one for the end of the day. But
at nooa precisely, just as he was putting
the finishing touches to a copy of
Qreuze's famous "Cruche-Cassee," there
came an imperious knock at the door.
It was the new tenant, escorted by her
furniture. She was furious to find that
Durand was "dawdling over 'his paint
brushes," while all her furniture was
out in the street exposed to the gaze of
indiscreet passe raby. She even threat
ened to send for the police in order to
luring Durand to a sense of his duties as
an outgoing tenant.
Durand, like many painters, thought
she sea more charming than ever when
agitated by a storm, and concluded that
bia fair visitor was rendered more beau
tiful by her anger. She was about
twenty-five years of age. She had dark
hair and blue eyes, a fine, supple figure,
and her pretty nostrils were slightly
dilated by her emotion. She was ac
companied by a little girl of six years
I age a little golden haired fairy.
"What!" continued the irate lady, "you
axe not going away until 5 o'clock? It
is absurd! What am I to do with my
rarniture? Where is the proprietor? 1
must see the proprietor!" It was im
possible to gratify her last wish. The
concierge alone was available, but the
newcomer was so terrible, so aggressive
and so threatening that Cerberus was
tamed and ran away, leaving his broom
behind him. '
1 LVjXTJENCE OF A CHILD.
Durand ought, according to his sys
tem of imitation, to have become wrath
ful, too, but his adversary was a pretty
woman, so he sought an ally. The lit
tle girl was playing with a shepherdess
in porcelain de Saxe that adorned one
end of the chimney piece. "Should you
like it?" "Oh, yes; it is so prettyl"
. "Take it." "Jeanne," said the mother.
"I forbid you to accept anything." "If
it were only to please her," replied
Durand, "I could understand your pro
. Mbition, but it is an economy for me.
I shall have bo much less to move."
Women are ready laughers. The lady
fixed her eyes on the wall in order to
keep her countenance. "Your name is
Jeanne?" said the painter. "Yes," an
swered the child. "And your papa
where is he?" "He died two years ago.''
"And mamma is a widow?" "Yea, mon
sieur. "
Then turning' to the tady, Durand
apologized for his sins, told her that he
had cleared one room and that he would
go and help her get her furniture in.
Soon the furniture began to find its
place the wardrobe, the mirror, the
bookcase. "Oh, madame, without know
ing you, as 1 look at these books I can
read your mind. Balzac, Hugo, Lamar
tine" 'Ta, ta, ta," cried the irate
lady, "you would have done better to
clear out before noon than to be trying
to study my character!" "I am work
ing all the time, madame! Look! 1
have put that console there here "the
statue of the Virgin this little mirror
opposite the window." "Oh, it is ho
use; you cannot make peace with me!"
WRATH TURNED TO LOVE.
There was an' interval of twenty min
utes, during which the lady stood at the
"window. Durand had remained in his
room with the child. "Are they com
ing today or tomorrow your men?' she
asked angrily as she came back into the
room; but she stopped in the 'middle.
Jeanne, motionless and smiling, was
seated on a chair and Durand was paint
ing her portrait "Mamma," said the
little one suddenly, -"1-ani hungry. You
have some wine and a pate in the big
basket" "Come, then, and breakfast on
the balcony," murmured the ' mother.
Durand was left alone to finish his
sketch. There was a silence of ten min
utes. Then the child returned timidly.
"Mamma has something to ask you."
"What?" "She does not dare." "She
wants to turn me out?" "No." "What
then?" . "Mamma would like to know if
you if you would like a piece of pate."
This happened on July 15, and when
the concierge arrived, all trembling, to
announce that the men had at last come
to remove Dnrand's furniture, he found
him sitting on the balcony at table with
the mother and dandling the child on
his knees. . . . . f
Misfortunes, however, never come
alone.- The wagon was too small. It
would not hold all Dnrand's things at
once. ''Leave your palette, your ease
aad your pictures," said Jeanne; "1 will
take care of them, and then you will
be obliged to come back again and
finish my picture." He left them. He
only , came into possession of them on
Jan. 15, when he brought all his fur
niture back into his own room. This
time, however, there was no difficulty
about the outgoing tenant, for she had
meanwhile become Dnrand's wife, and
the two households were merged into
one. Paris Cor. Philadelphia Bulletin.

A Swell Boston Shoemaker. -
For several years there has been a col
ored shoemaker on School street He
has owned his little shop, which is big
enough for about four people to stand in
without noticeable discomfort. He is a
good looking young fellow, and there isn't
anything remarkable about him at first
sight' He has a very good trade for a
small place, and his income is sufficient
to enable him to live comfortably. ' If
you go into his shop any time of the day
between 7 o'clock in the morning and 5
o'clock in the afternoon you will find him
seated on a little stool with a leather
apron on. His sleeves will be rolled up,
and . he will be pegging away for dear
life.
If you go into the place at 5 o'clock
and wait a few minutes, you will pres
ently behold as novel a spectacle as may
be witnessed in the city anywhere. You
will see that a gorgeous light overcoat
has been hanging on a peg in the wall
in a corner of the' shop, and that a pair
of flashing patent leather shoes have
been reposing in the same corner on the
floor, and that near' by a big silver
knobbed walking stick has been stand
ing, while on a little shelf has been rest
ing a glossy silk hat When this young
man's work is done in the evening he
doffs his leather apron and attires him
self in his swell appareL ' .
He may be seen on Washington street
in the neighborhood of the Adams House
an hour later, silk hat, patent leathers,
spring overcoat, silver knobbed cane and
alL He goes to his shop in this dress in
the morning and leaves it similarly gar
mented in the evening. He moves in
the s wellest colored society of the city,
and is looked on by his acquaintances as
a person of quality. Yet he makes no
disenise of his business. Boston Cor

This state of things is due to the fact that
the Americans think so much of business

China and Japan to ship them their cheapest

Europe, the finer teas find a ready market.
