He had hoped to do great things, aud others had prophesied them ' of him, for be had no little talent, and before be enlisted his clever sketches had attracted wide attention. Original and spirited as they were, be and his brother artists had regarded them ns only the earnest of what was to come. "Nothing will come now," be said to himself, bitterly. "All Is ended. At 30 T have practically lived my life. I shall drag out a miserable existence on a beggarly pension. Yet were It not for that pension I should starve. Perhaps it would be better not to have It, though. I had rather die than live a dog's life, with no work to do nothing to look forward to." Tom eyed the passers-by as though In a dream. He saw weary-JookIng moth ers carrying babies, or trundling baby carts, with other tots, hardly more than infants, clinging to their skirts. ISronzed young men and sunburned girls sped by on their bicycles; lovers strolled along, oblivious of everything but their own happiness; and Innumer able other people. In quest of fresh air and coolness, sauntered Idly past. Presently a young jvoinan, quite dif ferent from all the rest, came Into view. She was tall, distinguished-looking, aud faultlessly dressed. She start ed as she caught sight of the drooping llgure on the bench aud turned quickly, coming Impulsively toward him. "Why, Tom!" she cried, holding out her hnud, "I am so glad to see you. You have made all your friends proud of you. How- long have you been home? Why haven't you been to see us? You know mother never leaves town in August. It's one of her hob bles that home Is the best place In sum mer." Tom had risen awkwardly and taken her extended band. IIo had not yet learned to use bis left arm gracefully. Ho could not speak, although ho felt that sho was talking to cover his con fusion. Miss Hunt sat down on the bench, as naturally as though she had come thero fo.' that purpose, and Tom resumed bis seat. "1 must congratulate you, Miss Hunt, on your good fortuue," ho said nt last "I know of no one who deserves wealth more than you." The girl blushed. "Thank you, Tom! but you dldu't answer my question. Why haven't you been to see us?" "O, I'm a back number. I had better h am to keep In the background." 'You. a hero!" exclaimed Kllzabeth, Willi a shy glance lit the empty sleeve. "I, a useless man, Miss Hunt; without a profession nnd almost n beggar." There wan a long silence. Tom looked -,n the ground, ashamed of the words almost wiung from him.- Elizabeth .nred fixedly before nor, keoplng back tars. "Tom," sho said, with great effort, "Do you remember what you nsked mo In fore you went away?" "aUzabetlit" "Do you remember, Tom, aud do you still love mo?" "Good God! Elizabeth. Don't you see the difference between us now?" "Do you love me, Tom?" "Kllznbeth, you torture me." "You must answer, Tom." Tom looked at her, his soul In bis eyes. "I love you better than life," he said. Then he added bitterly: "I forget; my life Is worth too little for me to put It that way." Do do you will you won't you marry me, Tom?" "You love me, then? Is It possible? It can't be. You are sacrificing your self because you pity me. Elizabeth. Do not tempt me. I am still a man." "Tom, you make It hard. I could uot talk to you this way unless I loved you," and the girl covered her face with her hands. "You are an angel, dear, but I cannot take advantage of your gooduess. You young, happy, wealthy I, mutilated, with only my pension, my future blight ed. I should be a coward to listen to on." "I am not happy. I am wretched. O. why didn't I marry you when I was poor? But I thought a wlfp would hamper you in your art. I believed so n your future- aud would not for worlds have held you back from success." The man rose from his seat, forcing -himself to be calm. "I must leave you. Elizabeth. You tempt me past endur ance." "You are dreadfully unkind, Tom. It's mean for you to tell me that I am unmaldeiily. I cau't help It. It's your fault. What made yon make me love you so?" And stately Miss Hunt burst CONTROLLING THE SUN'S RAYS. Seattle Genius II in Patented Wonder ful Device. Julius Tantrove Is n genius who live In Seuttle, Wash.
