Origin of a fitnt, A letter has just been discovered among the archives of the British Mu seum dated as far baok as the year 1760 and which gives the origin of the game of billiards as qow played. The game, it appears, was Invented in 1560 by a pawnbroker by the name of William Kew, in London, who was in the habit of taking down every night the three balls which hung before his shop, and to push them about with his wooden yard measure on his counter. Hence the name billiards, which is a corruption of Bill’s yard. Summer Eicarilom vie tbe Vibuk Ball* ■ romd‘ Vacation tours for the summer will soon M placed on sale. Half Rates to Toronto in July.

Lena Seymour's ' great Drown eye* . flashed, her pretty lips curled with scorn and a rich color mantled in her cheeks. "Proper! Society does not rule down here. Aunt Margaret! Besides it is a mere matter of business!" A twinkle danced in Miss Margaret’s eyes, but vanished, presently. “Oh," she said, “you mean to make a profession of your art.” “Oh, dear!" sighed Lena, “how many times I have told you, Aunt Margaret, that art will not accept divided hom age. I hope some day to call myBelf an artist! Now,” and the large brown eyes grew luminous, the lips smiled as if some vision of beauty woke a. glad response In Lena’s heart, and her little white hands moved unconsciously to clasp each other; “now I can only hope and dream, work and pray!" Then she came suddenly out of this little ectasy and said: “I sent an advertisement to the 'Grantville Gazette’ yesterday, and it Is published to-day.” She took a folded newspaper from her pocket, opened it and read: “ ‘WANTED—A fisherman to stand as model for an artist. Terms liberal. Apply at No. 3 Seaview Terrace, Ocean Place, Wilton.’ “By the way, Aunt Margaret, the ut ter absurdity of that address never struck me so forcibly as it docs at this moment. ’Ocean Place’—a strip of sea beach half a mile in extent! ’Seaview Terrace,’ four empty and one occupied cottage. I suppose all the population of Wilton will apply for the position." But nearly a week passed, every day bringing a repetition of the advertise ment, and not an answer reached Sea view Terrace. Lena worked busily at her picture, a sea-scape, with a group of children in the foreground, a wo man watching the waves upon a rock to the right, and a great blank space for the fisherman, who was to come to greet her. The subject was not very new or very original, but Lena treating it with wonderful power for a young, artist. She had worked faith fully under good masters in London, Paris and Home for six years, and Was an artist born. Her father had been proud of her genius, giving it full scope, while she was yet a mere child, and when he died he charged his sister to let Lena have her will, if she wished to continue her studies. So the girl, then only seventeen, when her routine of studies with her masters was over, took her easel and brushes for rest, for salve to the bitter heart-pain her fath er’s absence caused, and, with her aunt for a companion, went abroad to study. She had been at home only two months, when she took board at Seaview Tei^-‘ race, and began her sea' plctufe-^-hesr' first large one on canvas, fog v - vaa 4>.j imh; s.rrcn'it Hoi i.

At thirty-two he had ex hausted all the pleasures a liberal for tune, strong health, a cultivated and plentiful leisure afforded. When I say “exhausted” I merely quote Morti mer Gilroy. He had “done” Europe, Egypt and his native country; had been petted by society, escaped numerous cunningly spread matrimonial webs, and, while he counted his flirtations by dozens, he was heart whole, as he lay upon the deck of the Firefly, his own yacht, reading the “Grantville Gazette.” He had come from a winter cruiae on the coast of Florida, through the Gulf of Mexico, winding about the. West In dies, till, weary of sea aa well as land, he was sailing for New York when he put in at Wilton for a supply of freah provisions. "Hulloo!” he muttered. “I do believe [ this ia the beautiful artist I saw through my glass this morning, paint ing on the beach. ‘Wanted:—A fish erman to stand as model for an artist. Terms liberal. Apply at No. 3 Sea view Terrace, Ocean Place, Wilton.' She was very beautiful. I was sorry when the sun became too glaring on the water and drove her indoors. A fisherman!” He mused a moment, then called: “Bob!” A rugged sailor answered at once. “Bob, I am going to stay at Grant ville for a few weeks. You will take tfce yacht home!” Bob was too much accustomed to his ! master's sudden freaks to make any comment, and Mr. Gilroy, hastily c' lected a few articles in his cabin, pack ed a valise and went ashore. j June bad come. Lena had scent the I • ii ; , I■ l ' l"'T r ..* " ' "**■ njerrv month ot.May In a dream of per* feet happiness She meant no decep tion when she told her Aunt Margaret jit i.wga .the rapture of artistic success -that painted her cheeks, and made her eyes brilliant, her voice thrill with mu sical cadences. Every day, when the weather permit ted, she'was upon the beach, working with rapid fingers and swelling heart over her canvas Every day, at the hour agreed upon, James Smith, fisher man, presented himself as her model upon the liberal terms offered In the “Grantville Gazette.” Had Lena been brought up In society I know It would have been Impossible for her to accept James Smith at his own word, as a. Wilton fisherman. But the young ar list was a child yet. in tpany.way*. sue had bean educated with the seclusion of a niin, in spite of her foreign ex perience, and her devotion to her art had kept her still secluded from choice after she returned to her home. . It was, therefore, no amazement, but simply a delight, to her, when the hand-; some fisherman, who looked one of Na ture's noblemen in his rough, pictures que dress, conversed with her intelli gently, and paid her the courteous re spect of a gentleman. Uttle by little, as they drew more closely together in their daily intercourse, James Smith let the brilliant intellect, the traveled knowledge he possessed creep out into sight. He gave her to understand, without actually lying, that he had been a sailor, and so accounted for his fa miliarity with the scenes she had vis ited and carried graven on her' heart and brain. He looked over many of her sketch-books, wondering at the power in the slender hands, the genius of the youthful brain, the fidelity of touch and eye, and, as the restraint of strangeness woro away his true man hood asserted itself, and his heart rose his master. How could he but love her! With all her wondrous gift, she was the purest, simplest maiden he had ever met. .Ladies he had known by scores, finished in every graceful ac complishment, but never one more ex quisite in refinement than Lena. Peas ant girls he had seen with “beauty un adorned,” yet not one more unaffected than this artist maid in her dress of cheap print, her hair simply bound in heavy braids of golden lustre. There was the unaffected grace of girlhood, with the well-stored mind, of one who made books, music and art daily companions. His conscience rebelled often at the deceit he was practicing, but he hug ged the thought of the luxury he could offer his love, the toll he could spare her. . , June was yet young when the picture was completed, and in the early morn ing James Smith, Aunt Margaret and Lena stood upon the beach looking up on its beauty. It was to be packed and., sent to New York in the afternoon, and' Lena, her heart full, said softly: “How can I Jive if IfclajT Believing she sppkeothd! should her a^jf|||^Bpr James Smith,-,; whelming ' “Jl' out. It w^.m^MjfstdrJhtpo long to tell thtf^fflWh ihatmade Lena’s heart trembtq and fcraeswg grow misty,, ■while AuntMhrgarettfc wrath was kind ling at the fishefttan's presumption, : But when.Letfa's hand was fast pris oned in his own, when her eyes, love lighted, were drooping and her cheeks blushing under his gaze, James Smith said: .- ' “But, though I have once deceived you, Lena, you may trust me now, for all time.” - ; “Deceived me?” she cried, shrinking a little. “I am not James Smith, but Mortimer Gilroy;' not an honest, hard-working fisherman, only an idle, useless gentle man. You will not need to work when you are my wife, Lena, but can paint for pleasure only.” . Then Lena’s eyes flashed merrily, and she would have spoken, even if Aunt Margaret had not said, dryly: “Perhaps it would be a good time to tell Mr. Mortimer Gilroy who you are." “Do not look so bewildered,” Lena said. “I am not masquerading. I am simply what you know me—Madeleine Seymour, artist. But Aunt Margaret wishes me to tell you that I paint now, have painted for years, solely for pleas ure! I love my art! I have loved it better than any earthly pleasure since first my hand could grasp a pencil. But I am not working for money, because I have more than enough. I am rich, too, though I do not paint in satin dresses or wear jewels at the seaside. Still, I did not mean any deception!” “And you would have bestowed your wealth upon a poor fisherman?” asked Mortimer Gilroy, with glad heart and loving eyes. She smiled, answering: “I think I found the pearl in its rough case. I did not know your social position, but I did know you were a gentleman in heart and education. I could not have loved you had your speech or manner been aa rough aa your dreaa.” So Aunt Margaret was satisfied, and society welcomed Mortimer Gilroy’s ar tist wife, guessing nothing of the little romance that waa founded upon adver tising for a model.—New York Ledger.
