Painting 4 fk Picture f
Br BELLE: HANI ATE 5
(Copyright, 1905, by Daily Story Pub. Co.)
It had been an intensely hot day.
Now and then warm puffs of wind
scattered little whirlpools of blinding
white dust, but between these puffs
of breezes the leaves only stirred
enough to utter a faint whisper. The
hot, close-cropped fields took on their
first suggestion of autumnal anticipa-
tion.
A tall, lithe farmer, leaning languid-
ly 011 his bay fork, was scanning the
country road that passed the field
who* he was at work. At last he saw
the looked for cloud of dust, and then
came into his vision the little, fat pony
and wide phaeton which was reined up
at the fence, while a fair-haired girl
called to him. He went up to the side
of the carriage and while he was talk-
ing to her, he felt that she was fairly
absorbing him with her gaze. He
looked straight into her eyes and in
theif shining depths he beheld an ex-
pression of rapture that he had ever
longed to bring there, but he keenly
realized that he was only the sugges-
tion of some Intense thought that had
brought this look to her dream-cen-
tered face.
"Do you know what has happened,
Dorr?" she asked breathlessly.
"No," he said expectantly.
"It has come at last! the inspiration
and idea for my picture—the picture
that is 'to be hung' and make me
famous. If I can only persuade my
model to pose for me!"
"I don't see anything picturesque
here, Ruth," he said looking at the
stretch of meadow land, "unless you
can paint the heat; that would be
roali* #c."
"It is to be called," she replied
dreamily, " 'The Last Load'. I shall
paint the heat, your white horses with
their tirel, droopiug of the head, the
load m hay, and you with your fork,
just as you stood when I drove up."
"I don't think that will be much of
a picture," he replied discouraeinglv.
"Wait and see! Will you pose for
me, when your work is droning?"
"Certainly," he replied.
He sighed as she drove away. He
had loved her since he could remem-
ber, but Ruth was heart-whole and
fancy-free an'i entirely devoted to art.
"Maybe when I have really accom-
plished my desire and painted a great
picture I will come to care for you,
Dorr, but I like you better than any-
one!"
And with this slight encouragement,
the hungry-hearted young farmer must
be satisfied.
One day Ruth In long-sleeved apron
and atelier* manner was before her
easel and Dorr in shirt sleeves with
straw hat tilted on the back of his
head stood, pitchfork in hand, ready
for his first pose.
"I feel as I did when they inveigled
me into some tableaux at a school en-
tertainment," he said grimly.
"And what is worse, yxm look it!"
thought Ruth. "Before we begin let
Expressed his genuine admiration.
me show you what idea I am working
on."
He crossed the room and sat down
beside her. "Here," she explained, "is
a sketch of your horses, and this is the
meadow, and this is the load of hay.
What do you think of them?"
He expressed his genuine admira-
tion.
"You certainly know how to paint
horses, and the hay is fine."
"I tried to catch the close-of-day at-
titude. Now, can't you catch the spirit
of what I want, and look as you felt
that day when I drove up to the field?''
"Maybe I can," he said going back to
his place. He took his pose intelli-
gently and easily.
"That's right!" she said approving-
ly, as she rapidly sketched his figure.
Only occasionally did she speak tq
have htm alter his position in the two
hours that she worked. He proved a
responsive model, but there was a
drawback. He had a joyous mien and
a radiance of hope In his countenance
Stafj'i spellbound before the master-
piece.
that she had never seen before and
which she knew to have been Inspired
by the meager hope she had held out
to him that August night of glowing
skies. The new look was very becom-
ing, but professionally she did not
want it. It did not harmonize with the
personnel of her idea.
"This will never do!" she thought
as he came for the next sitting with
his eyes soft and brightly lustrous. "I
am not seeking the picture of a jovial,
light-hearted farmer. I had staked all
my chances of success on that grave,
serious expression of weariness and
strength combined. I must work him
into the mood someway."
He paused before the easel on his
way out.
"Nothing but splashes of color," she
laughed. After he had gone she re-
mained before the easel in a brown
study. An expression partly quizzical
and partly contrite crossed her fa?e.
"It's mean," she thought, "but I'll do
It. The end will justify the means."
The next day she gave him a picture
of her sketches to look at while she
was getting ready to work. One was a
sketch of herself that a fellow student
at the Academy had made.
Instantly his face grew full of ex-
pression as she meant it to be, but
still that provoking radiance jllumin-
ated it.
"May I have it?" he asked.
"I have promised it to the artist who
sketched it." she said, splashing some
brown ochre preparatory to an eye
production. Encouraged by his expres-
sion she began to paint rapidly, then
relenting, "He was only a mere boy.
Of course, I wouldn't give my picture
to a man."
A look like the rushing of sunshine
In a dark place flashed across his
features.
"I am only chasing his features from
one expression to another." she
thought ruefully. This see-saw must
stop.
"I am going to the city to study
again in October," she said bluntly.
At last! Just the expression she
wanted! Leaving him to his reflec-
tions and apprehensions, she painted
rapidly and in silence. At the end of
the afternoon she looked at her work
with satisfaction, but Dorr was disap-
proving.
"Do I look as glum as that?" he
asked. "Why didn't you tell me to
look pleasant?"
"This expression is more effective
from an artistic standpoint," she said
cheerfully, "I feel that I am going to
succeed, and you shall not gaze upon
the picture again until it Is hung."
The days and the work went stead-
ily on. Dorr came daily to pose, and
gazed pensively up through the sky-
lights of Ruth's studio, seeing In his
gaze visions of harvest meadows and
pastures green, towering stalks of corn
bearing their burden of grain which
awaited only the first touch of frost to
bring tb'-1- fulfillment. Aci while he
sat and dreamed and hovered between
his hopes and his depsair, Ruth paint-
otf as < ^e Inspired, putting her whole
being and his Into the picture.
In October Ruth took the "Ijut
Load" ami wont to the cfly. One day
there was an exhibition of picturea
and her name was on ivveryone's lips.
Her painting had excited unusual and
marked attention. She wrote Dorr
and asked him to come and see it. To-
gether they went to the gallery. It
was quite early—long before the popu-
lar hour for visitors. Dorr stood spell-
bound before the masterpiece. The
meadow, the tottering load of hay and
the tired horses were true to life, but
his eyes were riveted on the man
standing at the horse's heads. The
lithe form with shoulders that
seemed made for a bulwark, lean
of hip and small of waist
was at once athletic and mag-
netic. A low setting sun sent slanting
rays whore he stood, making the fork
gracefully poised on his shoulder
gleam like gold. In his uplifted face,
the face of a man who has tolled the
livelong day was the tenacity of pur-
pose and the grim constancy that
make men. . Behind the weariness and
gravity were nobility and depth of
heart.
There was a little heartache under-
neath his pleasure in her success.
"Ruth," he said wistfully, "if I did
look like that—if I were like that,
would you care for me?"
"Dorr, the picture painted itself, and
from every stroke of the brush I
knew that 1 did care—had always
cared!"
"Ruth!"
NCT CO VCR'/ MYOTCRIOUS.
Simple Explanation of Phenomenon
That Puzzled Wise Men.
Prof. Simon Newcomb, the astrono-
mer, said, at a dinner in Washington:
"The simplest causes sometimes
produce the most puzzling effects.
"Some years ago I spent the month
of August at a friend's villa at Long
Branch.
"My host, with six or seven of us,
was walking through the garden one
day after luncheon, when ve came to
a great glass globe set half in the
shade and half in the sun.
" 'Here's a strange thing,' some one
said. 'The half of the globe that Is in
the shade is warmer than the half
that is in the sun.'
"'Impossible!' we chorused.
"But we touched the globe and
found that the glass actually was
warmer in the shade than in the sun.
"Then everybody tried to explain
this phenomenon, and the most re-
markable theories for It were ad-
vanced.
"One said it was an effect of reflec-
tion, another that It was an effect of
repulsion, another that the exhalatory
law—and so forth and so on.
"But I had spied the gardener cut-
ting roses and I called him over to us
" 'Perhaps you.' I said, 'can tell us
why the half of this glass bowl that is
in the sun is cooler than the half that
is in the shade?'
" Why, yes. sir.' said the gardener;
'I think I can. You see, just before
yoti came out I turned the bowl
around for fear of its cracking in the
great heat.'"
Impudence.
Rear Admiral Wilde, at a banquet
given in his honor in Boston, desired
to illustrate in some way a certain
sort of humorous and harmless impu-
dence that is found at its best in
America.
"There was a young man," said Ad-
miral Wilde, "and he desired to pay
his addresses to a certain young lady.
So, in a frank and honorable way, he
called on the young lady's father, de-
scribed his circumstances and pros-
pects. and asked if he might be re-
garded as a suitor.
" 'Well,' the father said, 'I have 110
objection to you. You seem to be an
honest, Industrious, healthy enough
young fellow. I guess you can begin
to pay your addresses if you want to.
Understand, though, that I put out the
lights at 10 o'clock.'
" 'All right, sir.' said the young man,
'I'll be careful not to come around be-
fore that time.' "

Fame Enough for One.
The I-ondon correspondent of the
Irish News begins an account of the
career of William Abraham, M. P., as
follows: "Commencing life as as a
mere boy at the age of ten, Mr. Abra-
ham " Is it really necessary to
trace the history of this distinguished
gentleman further? Any man who
could begin life "at the age of ten."
while the vast majority of his contem-
poraries and predecessors had to start
away back at the age of one—or even
less—and struggle all through that ex-
tra decade, surely has achieved
enough of greatness without saddling
himself with the onerous duties of a
member of parliament. Considering
Mr. Abraham's start he should ere this
have progressed far beyond the com-
mons.
WORTH REMEMBERING.
There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used In making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: — (1) Min-
eral-Acid or Alum, 12) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar
niada from grapes. It Is important,
from the standpoint of health, to
know something about these Ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
(1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum. Is made
from a kind of clay. This Is mixed
with diluted oil of vlfYiol and from
this solution a product is obtained
whiah Is alum. Alum Is cheap; costs
about two cents a pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral Acid
sells from 10 to 25c. a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, Is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process Is fully described In
the patents Issued to a large manufac-
turer, of a phosphate powder. The U.
S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow-
ing extract is enough:
"Burned bones, after being ground,
are put Into freshly diluted oil of vit-
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion," etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all
rlpo graces, and flows with the juice
from the press In the manufacture of
wine. After the wine Is drawn off the
tartar Is scraped from the cask, boil-
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
of Tartar, white and very ptwe, sepa-
rate and are collected. It differs In
no respect from the form In which it
originally existed In the grape. Cream
of Tartar, then, while the moBt expen-
sive, is the only Ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder to
act upon the soda, as Its wholesotne-
ness is beyond question. Cream of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to 50 cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule;—Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound aro made of Minej-al-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 30 cents ol
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 60
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.
The Homeless of London
A census of the homeless of Lon
don, made on a recent night, revealed
a total of 2.451 In the streets, on tbo
staircases and under arches. Of these
V.1G9 were men and 312 women. In
■tie common lodging houses and shelt-
ers that night there were 23,090 per-
sons, of whom 21,254 were single
men, 1,088 single women, 357 mar-
ried couples and 34. children under
ten years of age. Of the men, l.COO
had been given tickets for beds by
the Salvation army, as they virtually
belong to the homeless class. Includ-
ing these, the aggregate reaches 4,-
081, which is 2,348 more than a cen-
sus In January showed. Of the 2.4S1
In the streets, on stairways and under
arches, 1,082 were found in tlio two
districts where food was distribute^!
On the night of the census 901 men
and 07 women were turned away
from the common lodging houses—
738 because they had no money, 205
because there was no room, 21 be-
cause they were too dirty, 8 for
drunkenness and G for being bad

I. Scene on the Way to the Cross.
—V. 17; Matt. 27:32-34; Mark 15:21-
23; I.uke 23:-6-33. The trial was end-
ed. And Jesus "bearing his cross." R.
V.. "bearing the cross for himself."
Went forth." "It was usual both in
Jewish and Roman communities to
execute criminals outside of the city."
'Called the place of a skull." Greek,
Kranion; Latin, Calvaria, from which
comes our Calvary: "Hebrew Gol-
gotha," also meaning skull. The exact
site Is unknown, but the tendency of
scholars is to believe that "the placo
of execution at Jerusalem was a small
knoll just beyond the northern wall,
which from its bare top and two hol-
low caves In its face bears a rough
resemblance to a skull."—Exp. Greek
Test.
In advance was a soldier carrying a
white wooden board on which was
written the nature of the crime. Next
came four soldiers, undvr a centurion,
with the hammer and the nails, guard-
ing Jesus, who bore, as always in such
cases, the cross on which he was to
suffer. Then came two robbers, each
bearing his cross and guarded by four
soldiers. As they went forth into the
street they were followed by a great
multitude,—many with eager curi-
osity; priests exulting over their en-
emy; Mary, with other women, weep-
ing (Luke 23:27).
Simon of Cyrene is compelled to
help Jesus carry Ills cross. The ex-
pression in Luke 23:2G shows that
Simon carried only the afler part of
Ihe cross, which usually dragged upon
the ground. So it Is a privilege to
help Jesus bear his cross.
II. The Crucifixion. —Vs. 18-22;
Malt. 27:34 38; Mark 15:24-28; Luke
23:33. (1) The Stupefying Draught Re-
jected. It was a kindly custom of the
Jewish ladies, says Liglitfoot, to give
to those who were being crucified a
stupefying draught of wine mingled
with a fiowertul narcotic drug, bitter,
hut offered as an anaesthetic, to
stupefy and dull the sense of pain.
Jesus tasted it, recognizing the act of
kindness, but as soon as he knew that
it contained the stupefying drug, he
resolutely put it away, although ho
was burning with thirst. Ho would
jlrink to the very dregs the cup of suf-
fering which God gave him. It was an
act of sublime heroism and courage.
Nailing to Ihe Cross. 18. "They
crucified him." Jesus was nailed to
the cross while it was lying upon the
ground, then it was slowly raised with
tho sufferer upon it. The feet of the
sufferer were only a foot or two above
}he ground, and not as represented in
jnost pictures. Crucifixion was an un-
speakably awful form of death. Cicero,
who waa well acquainted with it, says:
"It was the most cruel and shameful
of all punishments. Let it never," he
adds, "come i.ear the body of a Roman
citizen; nay, not even near his
thoughts, or eyes, or ears."
The First of the Seven Words from
The power to do great things gen-
erally arises from the willingness to
do small things.—Emerson.
Lock Easily Controlled.
The Gfnnelle lock on the Selire Is
so constructed that one man can open
jr. shut It by simply touching an elec-
tric button as he sits in his office.
Even In the smallest particular Jesufc*
filled out the Old Testament picture of
the Messiah. t
The Friendly Watchers (v. 25).
There were friendly watchers amld
these exciting scenes. The three
Marys were there: Mary, tho mother;
of Jesus; Mary, the wife of Cleopas;j
and Mary Magdaftne; and his moot-
er's sister, probably Salome, tho moth-
er of John; and many other women
from Galilee. John was there; and
the other disciples were probably not
far away.
The Conversion of the Robber (I.uko
23:39-43).—Toward noon. While tha
crowds were mocking there was a
most wonderful event taking placo;
among the victims. Jesus was actually,
doing some of the work he came fromi
heaven to do. One of the robbers,^
while banging on tho cross, was con-^
verted and forgiven, and began even
then that new life which could be de-
veloped and nurtured in paradise. This
robber could enter paradise, not be-
cause he had acquired perfect right-
eousness, but because tho new heaven-
ly life had begun in his soul, —faith,
choice of good, confession ntid reun-
clation of sin, care for others, desire
for better things.
Jesus Cares for His Mother.—AlmuC
noon. 20. "Jesus therefore saw hi®
mother" standing by the cross. She
was probably a widow at this time,
and might be involved In trouble or
poverty on account of her relation to
Jesus." "The disciple . . . whom1
he loved." John, who was most lov-
able, and more courageous in bis love
than Peter with all his natural bold-
ness. Though he fled at first he soon
kept as near as be could to his Master.
"Woman, behold thy son!" He knew
John would accept the trust. Note tho
thoughtfulness of Jesus for others,
even amid the agonies of crucifixion.
The Darkness. From noon till about
three o'clock there was spread a dark-
ness over "tho whole land," i. e., the
country round about Jerusalem. Dark-
ness was typical of the powers of
darkness which seemed to be prevail-
ing; of tho great sufferings of tho
atonement for sin; of the darkness
brooding over Jesus' heart; of the
dark hour of sin and depravity that
could crucify God's beloved Son; of
the darkness of sin over all the earth,
which was to be dispelled by the cros3
of Jesus and by his resurrection from
the dead.
IV. The Death of Jesus—Vs. 28 30.
About 3 o'clock p. m.
The Fourth Word from the cross
was spoken toward tho close of the
darkness, in the agony of death. The
experience of Jesus, a feeling, not a
fact, gives hope to us, for we can see
that the forsaking was a feeling, not a
fact; that even his words of despair
implied faith in God; that very soon
there came a resurrection triumph;
and tho experience has brought light
to multitudes in their hours of darkt
the Cross was probably spoken as he j ness, a key of promise that opens tha
dungeon of Giant Despair.
28. "All things were now accom-
plished." "Finished," the same word
as in v. 30. "It. is finished." "That the
scripture might lie fulfilled." Connect
this, not. with "1 (hirst," but with tha
first part of the verse. All that tha
Scripture had foretold was accom-
plished. There was nothing left but
to die. "Salth, 1 thirst." This pain, as
in the case of wounded soldiers, swal-
lowed up all other agonies. Still all
through humanity without the water
of life goes up tbo cry, "1 thirst," and
we can satisfy Christ's thirst in giving
them to drink. Jesus still thirsts for
love, for prayer, for service, and wa
can give him to drink.
29. "A vessel full of vinegar." Sottr
wine, the cheap, ordinary drink of the
soldiers. "Upon hyssop." A stalk or
reed of hyssop. "And put it to his
mouth." This slight refreshment would
tend to restore his natural forces.
:;u, "Jesus . . . said. It is fin-
ished." This is one word in the Greek
and it has been called "the greatest
single word ever uttered." What was
finished? His life on earth, his life's
work, Hie cup of suffering, the atone-
ment for the sitis of the world, the old
era arid dispensation, the prophecies
ot Scripture, the darkness of the night.
This was tin* sixth word from tha
cross, and the seventh word followed
close upon it. "Anil gave up tha
ghost." Old English for "spirit." Tha
spirit parted from the body and went
to Paradise (Luke 23:43). Jesus died
at the time of tlie evening sacrifice.
As Jesus expired, the great veil ol
the temple that hung between the
Holy Place and the Holy ol
Holie.s was r< nt in twain; typifying
that Hie veil which shut out the vision
of holiness from tho hearts of the peo-
ple had been taken away (2 Cor. 3:14-
1G), and the way into the Holy Place,
the state of holiness, and the place ol
holiness, was now opened.
At the same time, there was an
earthquake of such power as to rend
the rocks and open the tombs; indicat-
ing the greatness and importance ol
the event, and prefiguring the resur-
rection of the dead, and the moral
resurrection of the world.
The Burial took place in a new sep-
picher in a garden near Calvary. Alex-
ander McKenzie says. "Three conti-
nents crucified him: Europe con-
demned him to tho cross; Asia fur-
nished the cross to which he was
nailed, and Africa, land of servants,
gave a man to bear the cross, when h
sank under it."
was being ntlled to tho cross, or in
the height of the agony, when the
cross with tho victim upon it was
dropped with a sudden wrench into its
place in the ground.
Two Robbers, probably of the same
type as Barabas, were crucified with
him, one on either side, probably with
■the intention of giving the people an
impression that Jesus was to be
classed with them; and of taking away
the imputation of having punished an
innocent man. lie was "numbered with
the transgressors" (Isa. 53:121, one of
whom became penitent and was soon
on tfie way to Paradise; the other
'died reviling. They tried to put the
Cain mark of crime upon him, but it
only fulfilled (be Scriptures, and repre-
sented his whole mission,—the perfect
Jion of God dwelling among transgress-
ors that lie might, save them.
The Tide Over the Cross. 19. "And
'Pilato wrote a title." "A board whit-
ened with gypsum such as were com-
monly used for public notices," on
which was written tin" crime for which
Ihe fietlm was crucified. Pilate him-
self ordered the precise terms of the
inscription.
"Jesus of Nazareth the King of the
Je'is." This is probably the full title.
The reports of Matthew and Mark dif-
.iTi- slightly from this in form, either
because they are making a statement
of the fact merely, or because they
copied from different languages in
which the title was written.
2n. "This title then read many of
the Jews." They were most Interest-
ed, because t seemed like a purposed
