He slept through the winter, long and cold. All tightly up in his blanket rolled. And at last awoke on a warm spring day. To find that the winter had gone away. 0 lie awoke to find he had golden wings. And no longer need crawl over sticks and things. “ Oh. the earth was nice.” said the glad butterfly “ But Heaven is best when we learn to fly." — Weekly Bouquet. The rolling ranges o f the Blue llldge and the Smokies have become the canr|>- Ing ground o f ambitious artists and art students. Amaryl was accustomed to see them pass along the road, with camp stools and other paraphernalia, to meet youths and maidens in the pur suit o f art wandering through the. for ests. valleys and fields. Intent on ho[>e- less and fruitless attempts to capture the glories of sunset and sunrise down a vista o f far-distant peaks. When their summer boarder, there fore, unpacked an easel, paints and brushes, Amuryl was delighted. “ You could make lovely pictures if you would copy the scenes around here. I w ill take you to see our wonderful falls and cascades, and there Is nothing lovelier than Mission Valley when the moon floods It with light. A river runs through It like a silver thread and the sawmill and little settlement tielow the ‘■rags are wonderfully picturesque.'’ “ I came to your mountains seeking the loveliest thing In Nature,” the urf- lat answered ambiguously. H e was watching Amaryl through half-closed eyes while she transplanted some ferns. She was too Intent on her task to no tice his steady gaze. The artist seemed to be lazy. He was content to spend hours In his room. Idling, presumably; then be would wan der off with Amaryl when s^ie could ■pare the lim e In the sweet, late a fter noons. to visit some beautiful sj>ot she told him of. No one knew o f the glo rious canvas which he kept locked In a closet o f his room. He would sketch fo r a few moments, then, throwing himself on some moss- covered rock by Am aryl's side, would d rift Into desultory descriptions of scenes o f far-distant lands, or would wander Into dreamy speculation on the problems o f life, whose charm was ac centuated by the murmur o f w aterfalls or the wind playing Its Eollan harp in the pines nnd hemlocks overhead. Their summer boarder had offered so targe a price for the room he occupied, with its quulnt mountain-made furni ture, that Susan VVilbor’s sad face brlghteued visibly and a faint color came Into her pale cheeks. “ He's a gen tleman,” was Sam W llbor’s comment when told o f It after he had come home weary from his usual work In the field. The days passed sw iftly that sum mer, and never had Am aryl been so happy. She was always taisy, blit found time to take pleasant strolls with P h il ip Armstrong when her day’s work was lone. “ What a pity you are not more ambi tious.“ she said to him cbidlngly. “ I urn sure you could paint better than ail of them If you would only try.” at which the artist laughed gayly. Many long unknown comforts crept into the cottage, and the artist se-»med to think It otdy natural to buy lavishly from nil the country wagons as they came lunrberiug by. " l i e is pleasant nnd kind-hearted,” waa Susan's comment. “ He la much more than that.” Sam Wllbor said, glancing down at bis toll-worn hands. "H e has the fine instincts of a man o f true breeding. He ought to la* w ealthy; he would make a g«xxl use o f his wealth." The artist and Sam W llbor were con genial. They had long talks together In the gloaming on the porch, and the weatherbeaten toiler and former club man saw the summer draw to a close most regretfully. I d answer to a letter o f Inquiry which was shrewd, kindly and world ly. the artist wrote to Mrs. Dartm ore: “The child Is divine, fa ir in face and form. nnd. oh. my friend, what sweet freshness o f heart and s p irit!
