ecoffed at trali;i )ii II was in u very
way out of sympathy with ;i :-t of ;:r.l-nt

ist, as travt-ler, as miu of tin; world, ho
had outlived his enthusiasms. Life cun
. taiued no new cxiH-rionc-e no surjirisi-s
for him. It was only a monotonous
round of the known and the expected.
Dick Graves, who u.-.ually .shone as a
host, was not at his bt-r-t that evening,
lie was nervous at firct, and rather
silent, leaving the burden of talk to
Teddy and myself: and we bad the ill
luck as the punch circulated to li-cht o:i
a vein of humorous stories, at which we
laughed consumedly ourselves without
evoking even a smile from tlie truest of
the evening.
"Will yon fellows look over my Cornish
sketches," said Graves, suddenly jump
ing up in desperation. "I think there
are some you have not seen' and he be
wail to rummage about among a pile of
eld canvases.

of the summer. 1 after
loafing round Newlyu for a w'nil" I
went to the south coast t try and find
some place that had been le.--s painted.
I stayed a few days at Polpevro. but. it
was all so much like the smaller exhib

and 1 finally laii'lel at , naming
j a sm."ll seaport t wn "wk -ie there
vera no painters and not many visitors,
f I stayed at the 'Ship Inn,' and looked
t afonnd fur some il.ioo to ha'ig up my
;v Kalette.
j f 'After some inquiries I foun 1 a small
f cottage which had been empty f.'T some
time, but which bad evidently been used
as a studio. fr then? was a wall knocked

' 'abided, with a high north Ikht. On the
j south, the kitchen and 'p trior.' w"nL-h
opened one into the other, bad a view of

if she ha I been happier, might have end
i dill' -l-'-ntly, an I i -anan -vv l.-ippiues
to lunn oi tne.-p; out she was too worn
out with sorrow and disappointment,
and in the end she die i. In her delirium
she was always calling to her husband,
'"Let me help 3-011, let me be of some use
only once, dear paint me only once;
and poor Drake, who woke up to a sense
of his loss, was heart broken at his in
ability to satisfy her. The tenderest and
most passionate tones of his voice never
reached her, and she died without ever
knowing him again. After that Drake
was a changed man; he seemed to have
only one idea to paint the portrait o!
his wife. Canvas after canvas he spoiled,
and when I went to see him he would
say, "She cannot rest until I have done
it. I must succeed; sooner or later
must satisfy her." At length he became
so unmanageable, eating nothing, and
spending long, sleepless nights walking
about the country, that his friends came
and took him away. He died some
months after iu an asylum."
"By Jove!" Haid Teddy O'Brien when
Quiller had finished, and then relapsed
into silence.
I looked at Graves, but he was lost iz
a wonderment too deep for words.
"The portrait's verv i Ike her," said
Quiller, with a strange awe in his tone
"I'm glad poor Drake succeeded at last.'
"You think" said I, and broke off.

"For twenty-two years those two pooj
ghosts have been waiting their oppoi

He seemed to forget to take leave ol
us in any way, and went without an
other word. As tin door closed each oi
us drew a deep breath of relief. Dicn
raided his head with an air of stupefac
tion. "That's a rum story," said Teddv
O'Brien: "why did you never tell it be
fore;"
"The rumiaiest thing about it is the
sequel." said I. "Dick, old man, is yom

"I don't know," said Dick; "I begin U

Showers uf Itlood.
Showers of blood from the sky are
very rare in this day and age of the
world, a fact which makes their com
paratively common occurrence in the
olden times only that much more ex
traordinary and unaccountable. In the
"Annals of Kemarkable Happenings iu
Rome" mention is made of fourteen dif
ferent showers of blood and other sub
stances mixed between the years 3K
A. D. and 1170. Besides these there
wer" two "showers of much intensity,
of which the liquid resembled pure blood
and was not intermixed with other mat
ter as heretofore reported." In 1222 we
find record of a shower of blood and
dust over the larger part of Italy. Il
122t) snow fell in Syria, "which presently
turned into large pools of gore."
A monk who wrote in 1 2o 1 tells of a
three days' shower of blood all over
southern Europe. In the same year a
loaf freshly taken from the oven "did
bleed like a new wound" when sliced at
the table. In 131? the great chasms made
by the earthquake at Villach, Austria,
"sent forth blood and a great pestilence
followed." Burgundy had bloo y show
er in 1:501, and Dedfordshire, England,
wiint.s.-.-.l the sarnt phenomenon in ll."u.
In bJsrt hailstones fell in Wurteuiburg
which contained hollow cavities filled
with blood. The last bh m i ly sip wer on

It dvn and opened it. Inside was a
ii. carded waiiei. and in the wallet the
UPss-pg bills.
And thev laid been put there bv Mrs.
E. herself. Siie recalled, on seeing them,
that ti:e night before the man came she
had thaught. just before going to bed,
that ic was c.ar--ies.s, v.Tih so many per
sons coming and going in the course of
the settling process, to leave money loose
in a box on the table, and she had elabo-
rah ly thought
Tneii she had si
ont this, hiding place.
:t, and bv morning had
lost ail recollection of what she had done.
It w;.s late Saturday afternoon when
she found the money, and storming, but
it must be related tc Mrs. E.'s credit
that siie diil what she could. She sent a
dispatch to the man in care of his hrm
sta. ing that the money was found. On
Moinlay she went to the shop and ex
plained the matter to the superintendent,
asking that the man le asked to come
to s. e !.er. He did so and r;-.-eived an
apology for t heimputai ion on hi.- honesty.
Then Mrs. L. tried to reimburse him
for his "loss of time;" this he would not
permit- The money was found that
was ail he wanted. So it all ended hap
pily. But the story may be taken aa
