(t.'opyrlKht, H0, ly Amrrlean Prs Anno- , clutlon.J I was at work nt my easel one morn, lug when I received a visit from a I lady who was a nerect irnnti.r in me I arose to receive her and was ! aliout to ask her how 1 could aervo her when she said eagerly; "Where Is ICdward Norland" "Ulwird norland!" "Ves. Uo you know where I can find him?" "I never heard of tho gentleman." I "You painted tho nlcturo 'Itetrlbu- , tlon,' didn't you, on exhibition at Afar- ! , tine's?" "I did." ' "f.'rst... .11.1 . I. . ,'iu wiiui vim juu initu my IIKO- ncss? I never aat for you," "My good lady, will you explain?" "Kxplalnl Why harrow my feelings by forcing mo to tell tho dlatresslng story when you rauat know it already. ICIse bow could you buve painted that awful scene?" "What awful Bcene?" "Do ceaso the pretense of Ignorance. I suppose H was ho who told you." My bewilderment waa Increasing rather than subsiding, for I noticed a J resemblance, though n very faint one, , between tho lady beforo mo nnd a tig- I ure In the picture to which ah re ferred. Iu fact, I waa dumfounded. I did, nothing but stare at hor. Sho went i on speaking In her quick, excited way, j her eyes filling with tears: ! "It waa all my fault. I urged him j to tako tho money and spoculato for . mo. The stocks went down. Ten dnya after the loss was repotted to me by tho brokers he bad learned of It nnd made it good out of his own pocket. Indeed, he wrote rne that there was n profit. Tho stupid brokers called on me for margin during his ab sence, at the height of the panic. He hnd distinctly told them to look to him and by no means communicate with me. Hut why did you call your picture 'Itetrlbutlon?' At tho moment I reproached him ho hnd ordered a ' check sent me for $0,000. I received It nftcr ho bad gone." A light was beginning to break in upon my brain. 1 bad read of cases where persons hnd fancied themselves the subjects of artists' work, and It struck me that I had met with an In stance. I was Interested in tho Indy'a story. Might I not be of aervlco In ro- , storing to her n person sbo bad wronged? The picture, too, corre sponded with the scene to which she , referred. A woman was reproaching a rann who bad wronged her, whllo bo stood with bowed bond, receiving bis chastisement. The woman was the principal figure; the man was In Bbnd ow nnd hla face not distinctly visible. I concluded to tcmporlzo with her. "And did he not defend himself?" 1 nsked. "No; ho simply stood and looked nt me In astonishment. His figure In your ' picture doesn't show his demeanor at all." 'no left you with no explanation?" "None whatever. Ten minutes after his departure the postman left hla let ter containing tils check for what 1 had given him the profit. Profit. In deed! The rntiRnctloti cost him $7,500." I pondered, while sho went on Inco herently In the snmo manner ns be fore. Plnnlly 1 eald to her. "If you will leave me your address I will see If 1 can do anything for you." - , "There! I know all tho whllo you wero acquainted with him nnd that ho J gave you tho information which led : to your painting that picture. Ob. ; please do tell him how sorry 1 am for i what I did." "Yes, if I find him." j Tho lady departed somewhat com forted, but by no means confident that i I would succeed In gaining for her the forgiveness of tho man sbo had wronged. How I found Kdward norland Is n ; matter between mo nnd a man I paid ! for doing the work. When I met Mr. Ilorlnnd ho supposed tho meeting was ! casual. I pursued tho acquaintance and Inrltcd him to my studio, whero I j had tlto picture from Mnrtino's con pplcuously displayed on nn easel. I i watched him ns bo looked at It, Tho woman's faeo.cvldently Interested bin). wnero uiu you get your niouei ior thnt figure?" he asked. This was n beginning. Dcforo bo left my studio I bad told hluMho story of my visitor and her illusion. Wheti his wonder nt tho singular occurrence hnd given placo to thinking on the situation between himself and the lady I saw his faco harden. If 1 ef fected a reconciliation I must uso tho utmost adroitness. "Sho was very bitter," ho said, "when alio supposed I bad lost her money." "Nnturally," I reuinrkod. "Sho gave me enrto blancho to do ns I thought best for hor, to win or lose ns the market roso or fell, and when It fell sho reproached mo." "As wns to bo expected from nuy woman aud as would bo tho result In tbo caso of most men. Women don't possess tho polso to stand that sort of thing. Granting thut you wero excus able for accepting such u commission, you could only oxpect that It would be beads you win, tails you lose.' Dcforo he left I secured his promise to moot tho lady In question in my studio tho next morning, I notified her to come, and she no sooner saw hor former lover there than I, as an nrtlst, caught the ponltent, pleading look on her fnco for my next picture. I mnrked tho first "Hotrlbutlou I." aud tho second "netrlbutlon II." When m.v friend Mrs. norland gets obstreperous her husbnnd tells mo that I had bettor paint a third picture with him In the foreground nnd call It "Rotrlbutlon III."
