Henry Hcushull was In despair.
In vn 1 11 lio tried to banish tho ahndowy'
Ideal from his heart by a greater dovotlon
to his art. Whether ho worked at n land
ecapo or a marine, scene tho faco of tho
beautiful girl ho hnd seen on tho earn
would appear In tho foliage or rise from tho
waters like another Undine.
A hundred times ho would turn nway
from tho canvass, thinking by force of will
to dispel tho torturing illusion, but ns it
was tho creation of his own brush it would
not vanish.
Ono afternoon ho dashed Ills puletto and
brushes on tho studio floor, ami, springing
to bis feet, railed out in a voioo of agony:
"Merciful powers! Am I never ugalu to
paint anything but that face? Can I never
again think of anything but that face?"
As If in reply to his question n quick
doublo rap sounded on tho door behind
him, and Inresuonso to his nervous "Como
In" Tom Wogly, his own prlvato detective,
stood beforo him, bin faco as impnsslvo a
n tobacconist's Indian.
"Any news, Tom?" cried tho desperate
young man, and ho looked as If an Imme
diate hoinlcido would follow a reply in the
negative
DutTom Woglyshowed no alarm. Shak
ing out tho crown of his soft felt hat he
looked carefully Inside, as It trying to dis
cover how ho had lost tho lining, and then
answered with that double antiquity for
which ancient oracles and modern detect
ives are alike celebrated:
"Well, sir, there ain't notliln' as you
might call downright startling to report.
I ain't got what I'd call n reg'lar straight
tip on the gal, but I kinder think I'm onter
the heavy villain gent, jidgin' entirely by
tho faco in the plctur'. If you drorcd that
face right, why"
"AnyncwH, Tomt"
"Whero did you seo him?" interrupted
Henry Ileushull, and ho picked up his hat
to be ready to dash out when ho got tho In
formation. "It was last night, sir, a talkin' to a mys
terious woman, whoso faco was hid by a
veil. Them two was right under Iufyot'g
stater, on Union Muare, and the woman
acted as if her dander was up and she
didn't care who knowed it; and the man
he tried to soothe her and set her an ex
amplo of street etiquetto by talkin' low.
"Well, I sneaked round to seo what I
could hear, but tho man got onto my little
game, and hurried to a cab that was stand
in' near, and as ho drovo off ho called out,
'I'll see you, Loulso, somo hour to-morrow
night;' then I tried to talk to tho veiled
loVly, but sho threatened to calhtho police.'
I apologized, and she started off at a go-as-you-please
gait that would havo won first
money at a walking match if she could
keep it up.
"I shadowed her to Second avenue, near
Seventeenth street, whero she vanished Into
an every day kind of boarding house.
That's tho report, Blr, and If you could let
me have another fifty to hiro a sldo part
ner, for I've got to havo ono or die for tho
want of sleep, why, I'll credit you with it
when tho job's over, which I hopo'll bo very
boon."
After this long speech Tom Wogly
coughed into his hat until tho ciown threat
ened to burst, and Henry Henshall hamled
him live ten-dollar bills.
The young man wusabout to question tho
detective further when n heavy step was
heard outside; then the door opened with
out any preliminary knock, and a hand
some old gentleman, with a troubled face,
entered and said:
"Harry, my son, I must seo you alono at
once."
Tho detective Jammed tho money Into
his pocket and his hat on his head, and
vanished with a curt "Good day, gentsl"
"What is tho matter, father? You look
troubled," said Henry, as he placed a chair
"for his unexpected visitor.
"Then I look as I feci," replied Mr. Hen
shall, with a groan that came from his
heart. "On tho top of tho failure of Hig
gins & 1jwis, our western agents, 1 this
morning learned that my cashier hut been
faithless. He tied to Canada on Saturday,
and a hurried examination of his books
shows that ho has robbed me of at least
fcXW.OM".

"Hut you are rated at a million; surely
you can weather the storm," said Henry,
Lopo rather than reason prompting his
words.
"If you were a business man, as I want
ed you to be," said Mr. Heushall Impa
tiently, "you would know that a man's
rating by au agency is never an ovldencu
of the cash he can command."
hiiiL'ii, lining uuiii ins limn, iiu lain 1111
ImHds on his sou's shoulders, looked eager
ly Into his eyes and added, "Harry, you can
wive mo If you will I"
"I, father?" and behind the old gcntlo
man Harry Henshall saw the Undlno faco
peering at him from tho pictured water on
tho easel.
"Yes, you. Harry. Sit down and when
I havo told you all I ant sure you will fall
in with my purpose, for I have been to you
a good father, and I feel that you will bo
to mo a dutiful sou."
Harry sat down,' and taking a chair fac
ing him his father went on to explain his
troubles.
"I am in the power of one man, " ho said,
"and by a scratch of bis pen ho can ruin or
sjivo ine."
"Who Is that?" asked Henry.
"Edward Hartman."
"Tho banker?"
"Yes, Kdward Hurtmau, Lcnallartman'a
fattier. Harry, you and 1jnii played to
gether as children, and Mr. Hartman and
I wo were neighbors and good friends in
those daysoften laughingly spoke of tho
marriage of you and Lena. From that
time to this sho has loved you. Sho is au
only child and her father is worth $0,000,
000. "If you will call on her at once 1 may get
time to think, and If you ask her to marry
you It will have me and your mother from
au old age of poverty, and In the end you
will bless tho day that you took my ad vice."
Mr. Heushall held out his trembling
hands apponllngly, and Henry, who sab
with his back to the picture, took them aud
said impulsively:
"I would give my life gladly to save you
from trouble, father, so I will do as you re
quest; though It will bo unjust to Lena,
Hartman to offer her my hand when I can
not give her my heart."
Itejolciug much at his sou's obedienco
Mr. Heushall left tho studio.
Then Henry turned to tho easel, and
more distinctly than it had yet appeared
ho saw tho beautiful, mysterious face look
ing up apiieallngly from tho water.
Ho contrasted this exquisite ideal with
tho real Lena, Hartman, tho art child that
i haunted him sleeping and waking' with
! tho largo, full faced and stupidly goed
natural banker's (laughter.
Henry Heushall'u mind was certainly in
an unusual state of perturbation, but It
J was placidity itself compared with tho cou-
ditiou of his unknown idol.
1 Tho sudden disappearance of Mr. Craw
ford and his family from No. 8 West Thirty
eighth street was at tho suggestion of Dr.
Watson, whoso keen oars and sharp eyes
were quick to discover tho hourly increas
ing curiosity of their neighbors itt the
spartment house, and it was Dr. WaUon
wuo sccurea mo new ana mora seciuaea
quartcrui Kowenhavcn place, near Sixty
seventh street Hnd Centrarpark.
Being retired, well furnished and on the
ground floor, tho new apartments were
preferable to tho old ones, and Miss Drown,
tho governess, who of late had shown a
coquettish Interest in Mr. Crawford, de
clared to Edna that it was "a perfect little
paradise of a home,"
To Edna Crawford, who seemed to havo
lost Interest in life, it mattered not where
sho was or whither she went, so that the
place o lie red her a refuge from the haunt
ing eyes of Dr. Watson.
To avoid meeting this roan at tablo sho
feigned sickness and had her meals served
liulier room; but) the -very means,, used to
avoid him brought him into her presence
with an eager tender of his professional
services.
When lie was out of sight she loathed
him; when ho was near, with his strange
eyes burning into her faco, or UJs fingers
pressing her pulse, whilo ho pretended to
look at his watch, sho was as powerless to
resist as a bird under tho fascination of a
snake.
Fortunately, tho doctor was now away
tho greater part of every day, and Edna
would take advantage of his absenco to
comfort herself with tho magic violin.
Sho shunned her father, because ho was
forever sounding tho praises of the doctor;
and, for tho same reason, she avoided Miss
Drown as much as possible, though that
lady's increasing devotion to Mr. Craw
ford did not escape her notice.
One evening after supper she heard Dr.
Watson saying to her father in the ball,
"I expect to seo a party from the west to
night, unit if thcro Is anything of Impor
tance to conununlcato I'll -wako you up on
my return after 13."
To this Mr Crawford replied in a nerv
ous voicot "If there l,s not a certainty of
arranging the terms, so as to prevent pub
licity, we must nail for Europe on Satur
day I feel as if I could not hold up much
longer under the strain."
After the doctor had gone out Mr Craw
fort! came into hi daughter' room, and to
his great delight she was less excitable
and more demonstrative In her atTectlon
than usual.
After an hour's talk she Mused him good
night, baying that she felt wearv and

"Have you never hisn

I hoo that tho courts havodecldisl thntTols.
tol's "Kieiitrer Honata" Is not a suppressive
lxok. Jui'go Thayer of riilladel)iiii, ' de
livering the opinion In a recent (intense, wild:
"Kreutzer Sountn" may contain tory absurd
and foolish views nlxmt uiairlage; it may
shock our Ideas of tho sanctity an, I nobility
of that Impoitant relation; but it cannot, on
tlmtHCCOimt, be culled an otxeeno llliel," and
the Judgo adds: "Although (hoczar of'Kus
sia and the postolllcu authorities have con
demned it as aniiiilawful publication, neither
of them has ever lieen reeoguied In this
country ns a binding authority fu questions
of either law or literature." The following Is
William Dean How ells' opinion of thu book:
(It will lie remembered that How-ells has been
for years a strong admirer of Tolstoi) "I
think it Isa great work. It is tho olfsprlug
of a master mind, and I do not think that the
critics are rlgl't in tlielr opinion of Its evil
tendencies. The novel is tiuo to life, aud you
can expect no other ending for such a man
and such a woman than that laid out in it for
I'oMlnlclieir nnd his wife. It Is not, I think,
the kind of a book that would attract the
young. It la more a liook for men and
women of nintum years and experience. I do
not know Hint It would ho tit reading foi
young girls, but it seems to mo that the
young men who lead it will get fiom It a les
son in the direction of purity lind good liv
ing." V
The thought occurs to me that Howell's es
timate of "Kreutzer Honatii" may bo slightly
inlltlenced by his previous commendation of
tho work of tho noted Hiisslau, He says,
"You can expect no other ending for such a
man and such a woman than that laid out for
I'osdiilchcir and his wife." That may be; but
tho question is, aro I'osdiilchcir and his wife
tyesf Is their life in any way typical of
the life of even a very small portion of liv
ing men and women If thu lesson it teaches
to young men is 111 thu direction of purity
mid good living, as Mr. Howells tays, a great
many thousand young men iinimt bo bettr
thar they were a few months ago. Hut it is
doubtful If unybody can derive good fiom
oven the lest of modern erotic llteiature.
lly tho way, tho musicians are taking ex
ception to tho selection of Beethoven's
KreutMir Sonata by Tolstoi as a passionate
eomjiosltlon suggestive of the character of
his now famuli book. Apropos of this a
well known writer says: "All this talk about
music and morals Is very Intel opting, because
it Involves a large iimout of improving dis
cussion, ami tends to make us more meta
physical If that bo any Improvement. Hut
Tolstoi Is so cruelly out. There never was a
more genuinely imlmptin-loiied, though flery,
and altogether healthy aud dimming couiio
sitlon than Kieutzer Sonata. In fact, all tho
lleethoven, Moart, Haydn and .Mendelssohn
concerted works what uio commonly chissi
fled iiidisciiinlnately asclmmbjr music mo
'absolute' music, pure and beautiful. Ho aro
symphonies, so are nearly all thu piano and
violin and vocal remains of these four great
composers. When we come to Chopin, Liszt,
Wagner and, perlnips, Schumann, In some of
his phases, we, it is true, do scent a certain pre
monition of danger. Thu morbid languor of
Frederic Chopin, tho artificial brilliancy of
"Blzst, the wuywarduws. of Schumann, and
tho downright pai.sion of Wegner (at oiu-o
tho noblest and most dangerous of com
poser) are all present to modern students of
the divine art and have got to be guarded
against, met lioldly, recognized feailessly,
and put away relent lestly. For infinite sug
gestion (an unpleasant word but necessary
here) onu has only to mention. 'all 'the lovo
music of 'Fault.' Had Tolstoi chosen to-iu-troducu
tho garden scene in 'Faust,' Ills goal
would havo been easy to guess, and soniu, at
least, of his statements fairly sound. 'Tris
tan und Isolde,' might not lie always found
quite healthy hearing for the suBceptiblu
Thus the conclusion one arrives at l, that,
since Tolstoi wished to olnt thu unsavory
moral of a most immoral tale, ho might havo
shown his knowledge of the emotions, and
what acts UKn them, better by ahnou any
other selection from tho world of iiiihIo than
the Kieutzer Sonata l'oor Heethoveiil He
little thought on that May morning as he
played his dcli-ctablo variations to one of tho
loveliest of themes, that Itefore the century
should le out his innocent composition would
ho branded all over tho world as full of In
centive to the 'basest of desires.' I'eaee to
his ashes! Were it not for falso conceptions
engendered, we should do wollto lulegate his
Hiisslau deti actor to silent contempt."
After leading ToUtol, tho follow big from
"Hnb" Is ref iehliig: "Just us many peoplu

Helen Ekiu Sturrett has a thoughtful arti
cle In tho current number of the fiinnn on
tho "Future of Our Daughters." Hhe chooses
fur her text thu following quotation from
Ueorgo Eliot: "What, in tho midst of this
mighty arena, are girls and their blind
vislonsl They are tho Yea and tho Nay of that
good for which men uro enduring nnd fight
ing. Iu these delicate vessels Is borne on
ward through the ages the treasureof human
airectlon." Fiom this she outlines thu sphere
of the young woman iu modern scciety, and
mukes some very sago observations rega -ding
her education and training.
Tho problem of thu futuru o( our sous gives
us comparatively little concern, she wilt,
provided only that health, Intellectual power,
and moral Integrity are theirs. "An oeu
field and a fair fight" Is all we ask for them.
We rejoice that wo are past the dny when

Into homes of culture and refinement. We
do not dread for them loss of property or
