continue to state to eastern eorresjMiiidents

this may restrict packing ojs-nitions on

JOHN RISklN'S ROMANCE.
How He Courted, Married, aud Mas
Divorced.
Xew York Graphic: John Kuskin
did a strangely wayward thing
when he consented to get married
He did a most erratic, and, to the
public, a most inexplicable thing,
when he arranged for his divorce.
He had accepted some of the
loftiest traditions about womanhood
that men sometimes read and talk
about, and he looked for his ideal
compuniou. One night he met her
in the drawing-room of a London
had brought the young lady to meet
the even of the great writer.
It was n June night; ho wan 3.1
and who looked like a (I reek goddess.
He was dazzled. She wan a tall,
graceful girl of 10, with a face and
figure as faultless as ouo of the
statues of old. Xo one ever ex
pected Kuskiti to fall in love, and he
tlid not. She was poor, needed u
home and its comforts, so they were
married.
Their vedded life was peaceful,
friendly, kindly to the highest de
gree, but there was not a spark of
a (Tec lion to lighten their existence.
She admired the great man nhe had
married, and was grateful for the
wealth and comfort he showered
on her. lie worshiped her at he
would the marble made life-like by
the sculptor's chisel.
There was nothing human about
the life they led as husband and
wife; and he was a woman who in
her heart. like nil true women,
laugh at the traditions that made
her Hex love distant worship.
One day Buskin brought an artist
to paint his wife's picture. And the
man was Millais; and he was a
bright, cheery, handsome fellow,
human every inch of him, with a
great and absorbing love for the
beautiful, and a willingness to tell
of his love.
He legan to point the portrait of
the magnificent woman, and when
he had finished it he was in love
with his friend's wife.
Womanlike, she saw il, and per
haps sLe was not full of sorrow and
reproach. It was the first tribute of
real manful love that had been laid
at her feet.
Aud Buskin? His wide eyes saw
the romance that was weaving
around those two lives, and his
heart realized how little afl'cctioti
he had to lavish on the woman
whom he bad made his wife.
How he told her the story of his
prido iu her, and tlio sacrifice lie
was to mako for her, while tdie lay
prono at his fret, is one of the
things which he or she could toll.
It is difficult to obtain a divorce in
Fnglaiid, but John Kuskiti secured
it for her, and one bracing morning
iu the early Wiuter, a month after
the divorce was granted, Buskin
ntood beside tho couple in one of
Iondon's juiet churches, nnd saw
them made man and wife.
That was a good many years ago,
aud since then Millais has become
rich aud famous, and is now Sir
John, and his wife is my Iidy
Millais.
The warmest, sturdiest friend the
, struggling painter had in his toiling
days was the man whose wile he
bad married, and through nil the
years of Millais' later success and
great honor ,ohu Kuskin has been
the welcome guest aud almost daily
visitor to the man and woman whose
lives ho so tinsel full ly crowned with
happiness.

bo two or three men run over with
teams, nnd a lot more will bo going
