THE MYSTERIOUS PORTRAIT
If nil the visitors who were present
on the opening night of the great art
exhibition had been as constant in
their after-attondanca as was Sir.
Horace Temple , tho managers would
have made money out of it.
The facts was , Mr. Temple had
strolled in rather listlessly that first
nitflit , but before he had traversed
many yards in his tour of inspection
his attention had been caught by a
pictute which had so fascinated him
that he found it almost impossible to
get his own eonsent to move on and
make way forotheis , and in a very
short time he was back again , gazing
with rapt ab3orption. The picture
represented an Italian uarden , where ,
beneath a dense shade of palms and
ilexes , a hammock was swun ; : , in
which a lovely youir girl , in a limp ,
white aown , was lying at her ease , her
right hand dawdling with a great fan.
and her left thrown up behind her
head , the loose sleeve falling bade and
revealed a beautiful , rounded arm.
One foot was hid in the meshes of the
hammock , and the other , from which
the tiny slipper had slipped off at the
lu-el , hung over the side in absolute
ease and inertia. The white robe
made in classic design and decorated
with a Greek border , hung over the
hammock side and trailed along the
dense , green crass. The details of the
pictme were exquisitely portrayed buu
its matchless charm was in the beauty
of tin * young girl's face , which had so
marked an individuality that Temple
convinced himselt at once that it was
no ci cation of an artist's fancy , but a
faithtul likeness of some living human
beinir. As day after day passed by
and the picture grew into his consci
ousness more ar.d more , he got to
know every detail ot feature , form
and dress , even to the three little
spots on the left arm near the elbow ,
which he at first took to be specks on
the canvass , but afterward found were
three cleverly painted little moles
which must have been on the arm of
the model. One evening when he had
stood a longer time than usual before
the object of his adoration , lost in
thought concerning the original of this
'ovely ' portraiture , and wondering
where the artist , whose name was
given as Carlo Guizl , had seen and
painted her , he was aroused by the
silvery strokes of a magnificent clock
which stood near , which reminded
him that he must tear himself away
from present enjoyment , and go home
and answer a letter. The letter was
in the form of an invitation , and this
was the reply to it :
"Dear Aunt Sfira.li No one certainly has
a kinder or more considerate female rela
tive than I am blessed with , and your de-
lfchtful letter is one more proof of this
truth. My gratitude , however , strong as
it. is , does not enable me to do the impos
sible , iinil I cannot come down , according
to orders , and fall in love with your
charming friend , Tor the rcascn that I am
in love already , and the object of these
pre-engaged nrfections of mine defies the
thermometer and remains in the city.
"On the whole , I hotie this will provo
r.ot altogether unsatisfactory to you. as I
underhtand your object concerning me to
be , so much thatl shall be in the abstract
ensnared , and that I conscientiously as
sure you that I am.
"I am not too fast boi'n. ! . however , to
admit of 1113 * comins ; dour for a cursory
glance at you , so you may expect me to
stnv over next Sunday. "Your * affection
ately , JI.T. "
When Mrs. Leaton received this let
ter she happened to be seated near an
open window in conversation with
her most intimate confidential friend ,
to whom she proceedrd to read the
letter aloud , interuptmg herself with
various complaints of the provoking-
nessof her favorite nephewwho.in spite
of all her affectionate indulgence of his
whims and foibles , was constantly
serving her in this kind of style.
As she finished reading and laid the
letter down , there was a faint rustling
under the window , unregarded by th
two ladies , and a young girl , who had
been sitting very still sketching the
pretty view of wood and river visible
trom this point , collected her imple
ments together and quickly glided
away.
Mr. Temple arrived at his aunt's
Sunday morning too late for the regu
lar breakfast , and when he emerged
from the dining room after his tetc-a-
tete meal with the hostess , he was im
mediately hurried of ! to church by
that enterprising lady , who had kept
her carriage waiting that she might
enjoy his eompanionship.
"All the rest have gone , " she said ,
and we shall be a little late. Gertrude
Fevellon walked with Tom Jerome. "
This was the only allusion she deign
ed to make to theoung lady who
had formed the whole subject of her
letter.
Mr. Temple had been sometime in
church before he caught sight of the
familiar figure of Mr. Tom Jerome ,
and when , with a feeling of lazy mter-
est.he leaned forward alictleso that he
might get a glympse of the lady stand
ing next to Mr. Jerome and singing
out of the same boo'i with him , the
delicate , clean-cut profile startled him
with a sense of familiarity. His heart
gave a nound as he connected it with
the face in the picture and saw the re
semblance. This girl wore a little
close bonnet and a trim dress which
incased her charming figure in neat
compactness but face and figure were
the same.
When the service was ended he lean
ed forward and whispered to his aunt :
"Make Tom Jerome go with you
and let me walk home with Miss
Sevellon. "
Tins was a coming to terms that
Miss Leaton highly appreciated ,
though her nephew exhibited no
underbred eagerness. The first ex
citement of his discovery had worn
off. and he had resolved upon his
course.
It was a wonderful thing to find
himself , the next moment , actually
being presented in formal style to tho
houri of the hammock. Just how
Aunt Sarah managed it he did not
know , but before long Tom Jerome
had gone off in the carriage , and the
houri and himself were strolling along
together on a shady little woodland
(
! path , and he was saying :
I "Have you ever been in Jtaly , Miss
' Sevellion ? "
"Oh , yes ; mamma and I spent al-
, most a year there , " was the quick res-
. ponse.
"Have you ever had your portrait
painted ? " was the next abrupt ques
tion.
"Never , " said Miss Sevellon , coldy ,
as if she observed and disproved thn
bad taste of this informal catechism.
"Nor ever posed lor an . .rtist ? "
"Never , " in a tone grown positively
icy.Mr.
Mr. Temple looked at her with a
gaze of uncontiollable surprise
"Most extraordinary ! " hosnid , half
under his breath. His exclamation
was not so low , however , but that
Miss Sevellon heard it , and did not
serve to modify her expression. She
walked along at his side as stately as
a white pigeon , her head alert and her
manner distant and cool.
" ' in mislead
"You'd have no motive
ing me , I suppose , " Temple went on.
after a momentary pause , "and J
can't help believing you are playing a
trick on me. "
" trick Mr. Tem
"Playing a on you ,
ple ? ' ' naid Gertrude , irdignantly ,
"how could such an extraordinary
notion ever enter into my head , or
yours , either ? "
Temple saw. he had given offence ,
and when he wa * forced to recognize
the possibility that he might be mis
taken in his surmise , the fact was not
hard to account for. It was , rery
hard indeed , however , to believe in
that possibility , and it. was only by
dismissing the subject from his mind
as far as possible that he could carry
on the perfectly conventionally con
versation that he knew to be the
only one which hieslightacquaintance
with his companion warranted.
He made a great effort to be enter
taining , and by the time they reached
the house he was able to feel that he
had done something toward obliterat
ing the disgraceful impression of his
first style of address.
When the early Sunday dinner-time
arrived , and Miss Sevellon appeared
without her bonnet , having changed
her church dress for a more relaxed
style of garment , the likeness to the
picture was stronger than ever. It
was not likeness , it was positive
identity ; and when , during the after
noon , Horace found himself near Mrs.
Savellon , in spite of all good reso
lutions he had made , in defiance of
every instinct of good taste , his in
tense interest in this matter led him
on until he had contrived to turn the
conversation on Italy , and he then
asked Mrs. Sevellon if none of the
Italian artists had never prevailed on
her daughter to allow herself to be
painted.
Mrs.Sevellon had just responded in
the negative , and was going on to say
something more , when he became
aware that her daughter was stand
ing near them in the recess of the win
dow , and that she heard his question.
And this was not all ! He saw by the
impetuous flush that came to her face ,
and the look with which she glanced
directly at him for an instant , and
then away , that she resented as well
as heard.
One evening Mrs.Leaton'sguests got
up some tableaux for the amusement
of the eonrpany , and Mr. Temple ,
who has declined to act , found him-
i self seated on the front seat beside
his aunt , a very listless spectator ,
except when Miss Sevellon figured in
the scenes , which was very often , as
she was the acknowledged beauty of
the party.
He had left his seat and strolled
over to a corner very near the stagp ,
when the curtain went up tor the last
scene. It was fortunate for him that
every eye was fixed on the stage , for
otherwise the great start and smoth
ered exclamation he gave vent to
must have been observed. And no
wonder be was startled , for just below
his very eyes , in a hammock ingen
iously swinging in the midst of a
clump of large shrubs that admirably
simulated a garden , was Miss Sevellon
in an attitude and costume that
exactl } ' reproduced the picture.
He almost held his breath
in the absorption of his
attention as his eager eye took in
every detail , even to the Greek pat
tern in theborder of her dres3 and the
antique silver coins in the bracelet on
her arm , and yes ! there in a little
group , near the rounded elbows , were
the three little dark specks. Could
circumstantial evidence go farther ?
As soon a3 the tableaux were over
he made his way to Miss Sevelion's
side , eager yet timid. To his delight
he saw that she seemed to welcome
him , and he half fancied from her
manner that she made a hascy reso
lution to let bygones be bygones ,
and to make friends with him. She
was so flushed with pleasure and ani
mation , and so surrounded herself
by appreciative feeling and praise ,
that it seemed difficult to her , per
haps , to be severe upon another.
She still wore the beautiful white
costume , in which she looked far
lovelier than the picture had portray
ed her , and his delight knew no
bounds when he found himself pres
ently absolutely leading her to a
quiet seat in the hall , and supplying
her with refreshments from the
supper-room. When they were seated
together on a wicker sofa ,
eating their ices in a friendly
tete-a-tete , theyoung fellow became so
emboldened by his success as to com
mit a grevious aux pas. As his com
panion raieed her arm to cary her
spoon to her mouth , her sleeve fell
backward and revealed again the little
beauty spots. It was too much tor
him.
him."Oh
"Oh , Miss Sevellon , " he burst forth ,
"You really must let me explain to
you now why it was that you must
have been mistaken about not having
had your picture painted m It "
He stopped short. Miss Sevellon
had risen to her feet with a motion of
resentful anger , and , without giving
him tiiuefor another word , had joined
some people who were passing on to
the ballroom , and left him alone ,
humiliated and full of self-reproach.
And he could scarcely wonder at her
being resentful at having her word
doubted again in this bold way ; but
how could he help it ? What was he
to do ? He wandered away , feeling
restless and miserable , and took no
special note of his surroundings until
he found himself near Miss Sevellon.
who.seated in a doorway , was looking
no at the dancers , among whom Tem
ple now saw the young lady from
whom he had just been so ruthlessly
parted. To his delight Mrs. Sevellon
received him more kindly than she
had ever done before , for her manner
also had revealed the fact that she
shared her daughter's just indigna
tion. It seemed now , ho.vever. that
she had shared also in her daugher's
spirit of forgiveness , for she looked at
Mr. Tempe ! as if she , too , were will
ing to forget the past. Perhaps
mother and daughter had entered in
to an agreement to this effect ! It
looked so.
Mr. Temple approached her with
some hearty words ot commendation
of the tableaux , to which slits replied ,
as if deliberately : "Yes , they were ;

pretty tableaux , I thought the last
especially. It did carry me back to
bee Gertrude in that dress. It was an
old toilet she used to wear when we
were in Italy , one idle Summer when
we spent our whole time in a dolce far
niente , and GertruJe was half the
clay in the hammock which hung
in our garden. I used to try
to get her to devote a little
time to her painting , for she really
has talent , but she was fo lazy , and
the old Italian whose services I wns
so fortunate as to secure for a few
lessons found her insorrigible. The
lessons usually consisted of a morn
ing chat , while Gertrude lounged in a
hammock , and he made little sketches
of trees and an old fountain near by ,
which never seemed to come to any-
. thing , for he always thrust them out
• of sight and said they were failures
when I tried to look at them. He
!
was always urging me to let him paint
I Gertrude , but she objected to having
• her portrait painted , and positively
reiused to po3o for him. So the less
ons came to nothing , aud the courte
ous old man advised mo not to con
strain my daughter ' s reluctant art ,
and wouldn't allow me to pay him a
cent , though he had come several
times , and really given up a good deal
of his time to us. "
She was a decidedly voluble person
age. Mrs. Sevellon , and she poured
< forth this stream of talk half auto-
, matically , giving a large part of her
attention to the dancers all the time.
' Temple saw that she had actually
been too preoccupied to seem to no
tice that she had been treading on
ground that to him would naturally
be forbidden. He was indebted to
the same preoccupation for the fact
that the startled look on his face ,
as the flood of light w s unconscious-
1 ly shed upon thesubjectthat had puz
zled him so long , wns unnoticed.
I "What was the old artist's name ? "
! he asked.
1 "Guizi , Carlo Guizo , " said Mrs.
j Sevellon , innocently keeping time with ,
! her fan to the motion ot the dancers'
{ flying feet. The chain of evidence was
now complete. The old fellow might
! well afford to decline to pay for those
hours spent by Geitrnde's hammock
• tinder the palms and ilexes. He had
made good use of them !
"What can I uo to atone for my
shainefnl treatment of you ? " said
j Gertrude with a bewitching humility ,
when Horace had given his explana-
! tion and made his peace.
J "You can do this , " said Horace.
"You can consent to my becoming
• the purchaser of the picture , a thing
j my mmd is bent on. "
. "I don't know about that , " s id
( Gertrude , doubtingly. "I have never
1 given my picture to any one , and I
' always said I never would except to
j " she flushed and hesitated , and
1 then went on , "but I would have no
i power to prevent it now , that wretch
ed Italian has stolen it ; it is his , to
do as he chooses with , I suppose. "
"Nnver mind the Italian for the
present , " said the young man eagerly.
I "What were you going to say ? Who
wjis to be the exception in the case ? "
Miss Seveilon.s reply was so em-
barrased nnd incoherent that its sig
nificance can only be guessed at , it is
possible , however , that Mr. Temple
found it s-atisfactory , for the next
day he bought the pictuie , and the
next Autumn the orig ial of the
picture became his wife.
( Gertrude always declared she was
jealous of that picture , to which
Horace would reply that as the
picture was his first love , she conse
quently could only be his second , and
that she would have to be satisfied
with that condition ol affairs.
An Army of Locusts.
"An army of locusts , " says a writer
in the English Magizine , "is a wonder
ful and an interesting 3ight to the
traveler who does not own a yard of
soil , and is a mere onlooker at their
frightful devastation. It is Attila
and his numerous horses rushing over
the vegetable world. To-day the wide
1 plains are shining green with dense
foliagetc-morro\vnothing ; but brown
twigs and bare branches , when the
legions move off on their combined
mission. As they arrive , the dense ,
dark clouds rising up from the hori
zonand often obscuring the sun's rays
proclaim the approach of the widely
dreaded scourge. The alarmed villag-
j ers congregate on the expected line of
marchbeating drums and brass pots ,
shouting and lighting bonfires and
making all kinds of hideous noises.
On one occasion in South Africa , I
drove off the enemy from a friend's
garden by making four heaps of damp
rubbish one at each corner.in prepa-
j ration , and then lighting them at the
I proper moment we dispersed the ad-
1 vance guard , our columns of thick
I smoke being carried by the wind upon
the main body , which altered its
route. Horses and oxen , their heads
• and nostrils tormented by the cling-
1 ing limbs of the swarms , were bolting
I away to the woods , kicking
and plunging in their hastv flight. A
hissing , crackling sound arose on all
sides , the whole air seemed to be oc
cupied by the falling and living imps
of mischief. The "iocust buds" ( a
kind of crane ) hovered in small par
ties on their Hanks , and subsisted on
a very small percentage ot the insect
hosts. In desert localities the hungry
pests actually pitched on bones , mat
ting , sticks , etc. . and failing in a meal
attacked and devoured each other.
On another occasion I drove for miles
along a sandy tract the wheels of the
vehicle crushing myriads of the newly- j
hatched insects , all crawling and .
creeping with mnratorv instinct , to *
\ ward the cultivated tracts. 1
i In India , locust visits are fewer be
tween , but far more formidable , owinj
to the overwhelming masses. Some
times a series of clouds , composed or
their flights , cover several miles sim
ultaneously. Fortunately there are
several birds and beasts in quest ol
; their bodies , and I have seen them i
1 salted , fried and sold in the markets , j
I have otten inspected a dish of curj j
ried locust , but could not bring a suf- j
ficient amount ol curiosity to bear on
the tasting experiment , thoiuh a (
prawny odor went up with the steam.
, The fishes aie great devourers of
these winged visitors , for they foil in
to lakes and rivers during changes of
the wind and weather. Be ides fires
made of green rubbish at top , I found
gunpowder explosions very usetul in
scaring them away from the vicinity
of my garden. When several success
ful hordes alighted on my grass land
1 loaded my gun with dust shot , and
stooping low on the ground , discharg
ed the contents of both barrels into
their midst. Having done so several
times. I enjoyed the welcome sight of
seeing them rising into the air and
going elsewhi-re. I have no doubt a
small cannon on such occasions ,
heavily loaded with sharpsandwould
hasten their flight.

form with what she supposes to be the
latest styles. She has , also , notwith
standing an utter disability to read ,
affected p. fine literary tosto , which she
ostentatiously announces whenever pos
sible. Calling upon a lady whom she
has been trying to make herself ac
quainted with , she picked up a hook
from tho table , and innocent of any
knowledge that it was a copy of tho
bible , asked the loan of it for a little
time , as "bhe had not the book in her
library. " Tho lady readily consented.
After keeping it about a fortnight her
visitor returned tho volume with profuse
thanks. "How did you like it ? " was
asked. "Very well , indeed ; but I knew
how it would tnrn out before I was half
through. They got married after all.

Lightning struck the house of B.
Spencer , in Mittineague , Wednesdaj *
evening , and , entering the part occu
pied by Edward S. Young , Mr. Spen
cer's son-in-law , cut as many queer an
tics as it is noted for. The bolt seemed
to strike the bedroom , and after tearing
off a few square yards of clapboards
stalked boldly into the house. Mr.
Youngwas sleeping in the room , aud
his wife and child occupied the next
room. The plastering was torn oft' this
and the other rooms until the bolt
found its waj' to the pantry , and there
it reveled. A servant girl of the most
reckless sort could not break so many
dishes in a month. Some were ground
up into powder , while others were cut in
two. A cake of soap was nicely halved ,
one part being laid on an opposite shelf
I while its mate was thrown into a dish of
j water. No one was injured , and the
: bolt left without setting fire to anything.

A Mnirular Sncrlfice.
A veiy curious meeting of the new
and the old occurred the other d 3 * in
Turke3T near the Servian frontier on the
opening of a continuation of the line
from Belgrade which is eventrtrd v to
connect with Constantinople. Before
the Turkish train on the Turkish side
of the line started there was a delay to
enable some mussulman iinaums to sac
rifice three sheep and as sacrifices are
not things which can be done in a hurry
tho deL'3 * was a lon one. The passen
gers , however , all took it very calmly ,
and Allien the sacrifice was over got into
the cars and went their ways. We sup
pose the sacrifice wns intended to give
the train a good send-off' , at the same
time to piovide some mutton for the
sacerdotal families. New York Post.

I. K. Bo3eson met with an accident
in coming down Milwaukee avenue the
other da3 % He was thrown from his
buggy and one of his legswas bruised
and twisted as if it had been in a 03 * -
clone. His facewas scratched , and one
of his e3'es was badl3 * discolored. Yes
terday he was down town and in one of
the courts attending to the business of
one of his clients. The judge on tho
bench passed him a slip of paper on
which was written the query : "How is
the other fellow ? " The attorney was
as quick-witted as the court , for he
• wrote on the other side of the paper :
"He is still in bed. "
