WISH I had the
courage to begin
this tale by turning
to my professional
visiting books and,
taking at random
any month out of
the last twenty
Si* * year8> 8lve lts rec'
ord as a fair 3am
'* pie of my ordinary
work. The dismal
extract would tell you what a doctor’s
—I supose I may say a successful doc
tor's—lot is, when his practice lies in a
poor and densely populated district of
London. Dreary as such a beginning
might be, it would perhaps allay some
of the Incredulity which this talo may
probably provoke, as it would plainly
show how little room there is for
things Imaginative or romantic in
work so hard as mine, or among such
grim realities of poverty, pain, and
grief, as those by which I have been
surrounded. It would certainly make
it appear extremely unlikely that I
should have found time to imagine,
much less to write, a romance or mel
odrama.
The truth is, that when a man hao
toiled from 9 o’clock in the morning
until 9 o'clock at night, such leisure
as he can enjoy is precious to him,
especially when even that short respite
is liable to be broken in upon at any
moment.
Still, in spite of the doleful picture I
have drawn of what may be called
“the dally grind,” I begin this tale with
the account of a holiday.
In the autumn of 1864 I turned my
back with light good-will upon London
streets, hospitals and patients, and
took my seat in the North ExprosB,
The first revolution of the wheels tsent
a thrill of delight through my jaded
frame. A joyful sensation of freedom
came over me. I had really got away
at last! Moreover, I had left no ad
dress behind me, so for three blessed
weeks might roam an undisputed lord
of myself. Three weeks were not very
many to take out of the fifty-two, but
they were all I could venture to give
myself; for even at that time my
practice, If not so lucrative as I could
wish, was a large an Increasing one.
Having done a twelvemonth’s hard
work, I felt no one In the kingdom
could take his holiday with a con
science clearer than mine, so I lay back
In a peculiarly contented frame of
mind, and discounted the coming pleas
ure of my brier respite from labor.
Thero are many ways of passing a
holiday—many places at which it may
<be spent; but, after all, If you wish to
enjoy it thoroughly, there is but one
royal rule to be followed. That is,
.simply to please yourself—gp where
you like,'and mount the innocent holi
day hobby which is dearest to your
jae&rt, let its name be botany, geology,
'etymology, conchology, venery, pisca
ftion, or what not. Then you will be
thappy, and return well braced up for
the battle of life. I knew a cltv clerk
•with literary tasteo, who invariably
spent his annual fortnight among the
mustiest tomes of the British Museum,
and averred that his health was more
{benefited by eo doing than If he had
passed the time Inhaling the freshest
sea-breezes. I dare say he was right In
bis assertion.
Sketching has always been my favor
ite holiday pursuit. Poor as my draw
ings may be, nevertheless as I turn
them over in my portfolio, they bring,
to me at least, vivid remembrances
of many sweet and picturesque spots,
happy days, and congenial companions.
It Is not for me to say anything of
their actual merits, but they are dear
to me for their associations.
This particular year I went to North
Wales, and made Bettws-y-Coed my
headquarters. I stayed at the Royal
Oak, that well-known little inn dear
ko many an artist's heart, and teem
ing with reminiscences of famous men
Who have sojourned there times with
out number. It was here I made the
acquaintance of the man with whose
life the curious events here told are
connected.
On the first day after my arrival at
Bettws my appreciation of my liberty
was so thorough, my appetite tor the
enjoyment of the beauties of nature so
keen and insatiable, that I went so far
and saw so much, that when I returned
to the Royal Oak night had fallen and
the hour of dinner had long passed by.
1 was, when my own meal was placed
on the table, the only occupant of the
coffee-room. Just then a young man
eptered, and ordered something to cat.
The waiter knowing, no doubt, some
thing of the frank camaraderie which
exists, or should exist, between the
followers of the painter's craft, laid his
cover at my table. The newcomer
seated himself, gave me a pleasant
smile and a nod; and in five minutes
we were in full swing of conversation.
The moment my eyes fell upon the
young man I had noticed how singular
ly handsome he was. Charles Carriston
—for this i found afterward to be his
name—was about twenty-two years of
age. He wao tall, but slightly built;
his whole bearing and figure being re
markably elegant and graceful. He
looked even more than gentlemanly—
he looked distinguished. Ills face was
pale, its features well cut, straight and
regular. His forehead spoke of high
intellectual qualities, and there was
somewhat of that development over the
eyebrows which phrenologists, I be
lieve, consider, as evidence of the poa
session of imagination. Tho general
expression of his face was one of sad
ness, and its refined beauty was
heightened by a pair of soft, dark,
dreamy-looking eyes.
It only remains to add that, from his
attire, I Judged him to be an artist—
a professional artist—to the backbone.
In the course of conversation I told him
how I had classified him. He smiled.
"I am only an amateur,” he said; "an
idle man, nothing more—and you?”
“Alas! I am a doctor.”
Then we shall not have to answer to
each other for our sins in painting.”
We talked on pleasantly until our
bodily wants were satisfied. Then
came that pleasant craving for tobacco
which, after a good meal, is natural to
a well-regulated digestion.
"Shall we go and smoke outside?”
said Carriston. "The night is delic
ious.”
Vie went out and sat on one of the
wooden benches. As my new friend
said, the night was delicious. There
was scarcely a breath of air moving.
The stars and the moon shone brightly,
and the rush of the not far distant
stream came to us with a soothing mur
mur. Near us were three or four jovial
young artists. They were In merry
mood; one of them had that day sold
a picture to a tourist. We listened to
their banter until, most likely growing
thirsty, they re-entered the inn.
Carriston had said little since wo had
been out of doors. He smoked his cigar
u “nd gazed up at the shies.
With the white moonlight falling nn
nw strikingly beautiful face—the grace
ful pose into which he fell—he seemed
to be the embodiment of poetry. He
paid no heed to the merry talk of the
artists, which so much amused me—
indeed, I apubted if ho heard their
voices.
Yet he rm.at have done so, for as 1
Boon as they had left us he came out of
his reverie.
“It must bo very nice," he said, "to :
have to make one’s living by art.” 1
"Nice for those who can malts liv- '
ings by it,” I answered. 1
“All can do that who are worth it. '
The day of neglected genius has gone
by. Muller was the last sufferer, I 1
think—and ho died young.”
“If you are so sanguine, why not '
try your own luck at it?” '
“I would; but unfortunately I am a 1
rich man.”
I laughed at tills misplaced regret ^
Then Carriston, in the most simple
way, told me a good deal about himself. 1
He was an orphan, an only child. He
had already ample means; but Fortune 1
had still favors in store for him. At
the death of his uncle, now an agerl
man, he must succeed to a large estate *
»nd a baronetcy. The natural, unaf- '
rected way in which he made these 1
mnfldences, moreover made them not,
I knew, from any wish to increase his 1
Importance in my eyes, greatly im
pressed me. By the time we parted *
for the night I had grown much inter
ssted in my new acquaintance—an in- ‘
terest not untinged by envy. Young, 1
handsome, rich, free to come or go! 1
work or play as he listed! Happy Car- 1
riston!
AM DISPOSED TO
think that never
before did a sincere
friends hip, one
which was fated to
last unbroken for
years, ripen so
quickly as that be
tween Carrlston and
myself. As I now
look back I find it
hard to associate
him with any, even a brief, period of
time subsequent to our meeting, dur
ing which he was not my bosom friend.
I forget whether our meeting at the
same picturesque spot on the morning
which followed our self-introduction
was the result of accident or arrange
ment Anyway, we spent the day to
gether, and that day was the precursor
of many passed In each other’s society.
Morning after morning we sallied forth
to do our best to transfer the same
bits of scenery to our sketching blocks.
Evening after evening wo returned to
dine side by side, and afterward to talk
and smoke together, Indoors or out
doors as the temperature advised or
our wishes inclined.
Great friends wo soon became—In
separable as long as my short holiday
lasted. It was, perhaps, pleasant for
each to work in company with an ama
teur like himself. Each could ask the
other’s opinion of the merits of the
work done, and feel happy at the ap
proval duly given. An artist’s standard
of excellence Is too high for a non-pro
fessional. When he praises your work
; he praises it. but as the work of an out
sider. You* feel that such commenda
, tion condemns it and disheartens you.
However, had Carriston cared to do
so, I think he might have fearlessly
submitted his productions to any con
scientious critic. His drawings were
Immeasurably more artistic and power
ful than mine. He had undoubtedly
great talent, and I was much surprised ■
to find that good as he was at land
scape, he was even better at the figure.
Ho could, with a firm, bold hand, draw
rapidly the most marvelous likenesses.
1 So spirited and true were some of tl^
ctudles ho showed me, that I could
i without flattery advise him, provided
1 he could finish as he began, to keep.
entirely to the higher branch of the art.
j I have now before me a series of out- |
j line faces drawn by him—many of |
! them from memory; and as I look at I
them the original of each comes at
once before my eyes.
From the very first I had been much
Interested In the young man, and ae
day by day went by, and the peculiari
ties of his character were revealed to
me, my interest grew deeper and deep
er. I flatter myself that I am a keen
observer and skillful analyst of ,,er
sonal character, and until now fancied
that to write a description of Its com
ponent parts was an easy matter. Yet
when I am put to the .proof I find it no
simple task to convey in words a
proper idea of Charles Carriston’s men
tal organization.
I soon discovered that he was, I may
uay, afflicted by a peculiarly sensitive
nature. Although strong, and appar
ently in good health, the very changes
of the weather seemed to affect him al
most to the same extent as they affect
a flower. Sweet as hie disposition al
ways was, the tone of his mind, his
spirits, his conversation, varied, as It
were, with the atmosphere. He was
full of imagination, and that Imagina
tion, always rich, waa at times weird,
even grotesquely weird. Not for one
moment did he seem to doubt the sta
bility of the wild theories he started,
or the possibility of the poetical dreams
he dreamed being realized. He had his
faults of course; he was hasty and im
pulsive; indeed to me one of the great
est charms about the boy was that,
right or wrong, each word he spoke
came straight from his heart.
So far as I could judge, the whole
organization of his mind was too high
ly strung, too finely wrought for every
day use. A note of joy, of sorrow,
oven of pity, vibrated through it too
strongly /or his comfort or well-being.
(Vs yet It had not been called upon to
bear the test of love, and fortunately—
1 use the word advisedly—fortunately
no was not, according to the usual sig
nificance of the word, a religious man,
<r I should have thought it not unlikely
hat some day he would fall a victim to
hat religious mania so well known to
ny professional brethren, and have de
veloped hysteria or melancholia. He
night even have fancied himself a mes
lenger sent from heaven for the re
soneration of mankind. From natures
ike Carriston’s are prophets made.
In short,<1 may say that my exhaust
ye study of my new friend’s character
'esulted In a certain amount of un
taslness as to his future—an uneasl
ieBs not entirely free from professional
iuriosity.
Although the smile came readily
ind frequently to his lips, the general
>ent of his disposition was sad, even
lespondent and morbid. And yet few
roung men’s lives promised to be so
ileasant as Charles Carriston’s.
I was rallying him one day on his
tlture rank and its responsibilities.
“You will, of course, be disgustingly
lch,” I said.
Carrlston sighed. “Yes, if I live long
nough; but I don’t suppose I shall.”
“Why in the world shouldn't you?
fan look pale and thin, but are In cap
tal health. Twelve long miles we have
talked to-day—you never turned a
lair.”
Carrlston made no reply. He seemed
n deep thought.
"Your friends ought to look after you
,nd get you a wife,” I said.
“I have no friends," he said, sadly.
No nearer relation than a cousin a
;ood deal older than I am, who looks
ipon me aa one who was born to rob
ilm of what should be his.”
“But by the law of primogeniture,
0 sacred to the upper ten thousand,
e must know you are entitled to it."
“Yes; but for years and years I waa
lways going to die. My life was not
hought worth six months’ purchase,
ill of a sudden I got well. Ever since
hen I have seemed, even to myself,
1 kind of interloper.”
“It must be unpleasant to have a man
onglng for one’s death. All the more
eason you should marry, and put othef
Ives between him and the title.”

A German inventor has built a house

lon to a stream of water. Around
Lhis frame he put his house in the

ill floors and ceilings are crossed and
recrossed by the water pipes. The
water, having passed through horlzon
.al tubes under the floors and ceilings,
passes through the vertical tubes un
;il all have been gone through. In the
summer fresh, eool water circulates un

tubes, cools oft the walls, and after
having run its course, flows consider
ably warmer than when it entered. In
its course it has absorbed much heat,
which it carries away. During the long
and severe winter the water entering
through the basement is first heated to
nearly i.00 degrees and then forced
through the ceiling. Of course much I
of the heat Is left all over the house. I

it is desirable to admit the light while
excluding observation from without,
says the Philadelphia Times. It was
invented twenty or twenty-five years

about one-sixteenth of an inch in
thickness, overlying on both sides a
web or network of galvanized iron or
steel wire, the meshes of which are one
eighth of a square inch. Both surfaces
of the tectorium in ordinary use are ap
parently covered with a varnish of boil
ed linseed oil and it feels and smells
similar to the oiled silk that is used
in surgery and for sweatbands in sum

POLICEMAN SAVES A BOY.
The Lad Was About to Be Crushed by
a Car.
Ten thousand people cross Broadway
at Fulton street six days a week, and
many have narrow escapes from being
run down by cable cars and trucks that
[am the thoroughfare at that point, says
the New York World. One of them yes
terday was 10-year-old Harry Fox of
100 Washington street, who tried to
cross the street with his arms full of
newspapers. At the same moment cable
car No. 8 came bowling along uptown.
"Look out!” yelled half a dozen men
in the same breath. The boy jumped
iust as the car bound the other way
bore down on him. A cry of horror
went up from the eyewitnesses. They
expected to see the boy lying mangled
an the track when the two cars rolled
by. Instead there lay Policeman Wil
liam Schrieber of the Old Slip station,
at full length between the tracks, un
conscious. Clasped tightly to his breast
was the boy, frightened half to death,
but not a hair of his head hurt. The
policeman was carried into a store on
the corner, where he soon revived.
"Where is the boy?” were his first
words. They told him he was unhurt
and full of gratitude for the police
man’s brave act. Schrelger explained ,
that just as he clasped the boy in his
arms to lift him out of harm’s way the
handle-bar of car No. 8 hit him on the
shoulder and threw him violently to the
ground. Before consciousness left him,
Schreiber said, he made a strenuous ef
fort to fall so that he might lie between 1
the tracks. His head was badly bruised '
and his shoulder sprained, but beyond
that he declared that his injuries were
too trifling to report himself ill, so he
went back to duty. The crowd cheered
the plucky blue-coat again and again,
and many passers-by stopped long
enough to shake his hand. Schreiber
has been on the force fifteen years, and
has an excellent record.
