One day after t had made this ad
mission ho i nine Into my Mtu'lo, as ho
often did. for u chut, i wiih at work
on a murine view. lie stood before
My easel examining tho picture, which
was nearly llnlslied.
"I lmvo a suggestion to make." hu
said. "You got J'our original inspira

too miK'h work on it lu your studio,
Go to tho feashoro anil llulsli It there."
I was In n iiuandary whether to take
his advleo or stick to what others hud
told inc. After much deliberation I
puekwl up my traps anil, taking my
mother with me. went to the Seaside
hotel nt eaudeleati. There I spent
my time watching for some effective
light which would add a market! effect
to my plctiue.
A storm en mo up ouo day, and for n
few minutes thero was it glow of sun
light through a rift lu tho clouds which
warmed the rocks and cast a livid light
on the waves breaking against them
that was a marvel of benuty. I bur
rledly worked as much of it lu as I
cou id in so snort a time, trusting to
put In tho rest from memory.
Soon after I had done this night fell

Intending to resume work on It in tho
morning. When tho morning enmo and
I looked at my canvas I saw no nbom

that I had upollcd the painting. I tried
to change it; but. as for getting tho

with what i had done.
"You tried to do loo much," he said.
"What I advised was to seize upon a

self for n meddler and vowed he would
never interfere with an artist's work
again. Ills penitence touched my heart,
"Don't blamo yourself," I said. "It
was all my fault. I should huve been
satisfied with my work. You have
taught mo u valuable lesson. Hero-
nfter I will not nsplre to do some won
derful thing nil nt once."
"And you forglvo me?"' lie pleaded,
"There Is nothing to forgive. You
doubtless gave tho advleo lu the spirit

When two persons of opposlto sex
begin to blamo themselves for some

especially whero tho man knows his
mind and tho woman doesn't, they are
vory likely to becotno very gcntlo with

"many disappointments in llfo. now

After wo wero married mid were re--turning
from our wedding trip we fell
to talking about my having given up
art. Tom said to mo:
"You lmvo a great deal of liilent for

I know you would he disappointed n
the end. I sent you to the scashoro
purposely to spoil that picture, for It
was so good that It would have led you,
