called a lost angel kear it bong a head which was catalogued a cherub in these two works the extremes of human expression were depicted the larger in act merited the name bestowed upon it the emaller seemed too sweet for anything bat heaven a mother might have said thus my child must look in paradise j but it was almost impossible to believe that such n di ine creature actually exisied on earth i everyone say something like that said the old artist whose work it was i saw that face m florence years so a woman and child sat together at the door o the little vinawreathed stone house the woman was sweet simplicity itself the child far more beautiful than that at tempt lo reproddoe its features i felt that i should never again have so angelic a model and advancing requested the mother o allow me to sketch her child i will pay you well i said la yoa think yoa can periaade him to be quiet v she gave me a bright smile o assent yes she answered little isidor shall pose for the fiignor artist it is time he began he mast earn his bread as a model it was his poor fathers business before he died he was said to be the handsomest model in florence they painted him for their lovers and little isidor resembles his father his mother also i said she laaghed bat answered in business like fashion j oh im well enough bat they only- engage me when hey need peasant women lamnolfine like my poor husband be- oertaln ransom was not pud this was only the beginning he was captured at last on a visit to his sick mother whom he seems to have been fond of my dear fellow i gm ym my word ho is the most hideous creature- hvlng if yoa want a hideons villain for any of your fine pictures here he gave toe a complimentary italian bow- there is his bead for you he would very much like to have you point him he believes himself a hero come i can admit you to the prison i went with him the proper cere monials were accomplished as an ameri can artist who wished to transfer this doomed italian to canvas i was permitted to pass into his cell he lay upon his cot asleep when we entered but started up at oar approach the most fiendish coun tenance i had ever beheld was turned to wards us a wild black beard hid the lower part of his face his- eyebrows grown long and shaggy flung a shadow over us eyes that glittered like black diamonds and were immense and long lashed but in expression eyes of satan a great scar crossed his forehead a deep scam lay upon his left cheek his nose straight as that of a greek statue had nostrils that while finely cut had an ex pression of contemptuous cruelty past all bearing an expression that mast have in furiated an enemy and horrified one who was in his power campani said my conductor this is an american gentleman an artist who would like to sketch your head he is a celebrated artist your face will be in all the great salons you will pose for him will yon not v t have a taleutfor that said campani with the air of a monarch receiving am bassadors from a foreign court and shall rejoice o oblige he eignor artist i will look as terrible as possible the signor will kindly not perpetuate the scars upon my face which i do not wish handed down- to posterity as without them i am remark ably handsome instantly he assnmed an expression for which i have no words and with a word of thanks i fell o work as the head grew beneath my fingers i found that he was right the scars and his expression alone made him hideous liis features were perfect his hair glorious i like it he said approvingly pocket ing the money i gave him bring me some wine and some cigars you there i will drink the signers oealth ko thanks it is a pleasure to pose once more for a true artist great heavens said my friend as he examined the picture in an outer room you have made a lost angel of our great brigand campani i never added the scar i felt that the brigand was right in his request from an artistic point of view a few days afterward he was executed florence was astir with the excitement and the lottery people made a fortune from the losses of those who bought numbers which were supposed i do not know why to have become lucky because of the execu tion of a brigand terrible stories that made the blood run cold were told of him he had bad no mercy no pity no honor no decency but he seemed alwaystohave been posing as a terrible hero to have done everything with a view to effect- an improviaatore repeated the story of ins life in the twilight streets and women crossed themselves as they listened a singer sung an impromptu song to his guitar in which the murder of a lovely english udy by the cruel campani was vividly portrayed a man at a corner sold fragments of his garments aa charms against ballets and drove a thriving trade the air was fall of campani leaving the crowd i wandered away to a quiet portion of the city where stood the little stone house where i had sketched the angelic isidor usually peace lay upon it and its the life of man kan bora of woman is of few days and no teetb and indeed it would be money in hit pocket sometimes if he had lei s of either at for days he wasted onethirdof them and u for broth he has convulsions when he cuts them and as the last one comes through lol the dentist ii twitting the first one out and the last end of thai mans jaw it worse than the first being full of porcelain and a roof of plate

like a beauti ful dream he seemed too fair too holy for earth i painted nim with rapture but at my second tatting decided to make a larger portrait than i had at first mtended i presented my first sketch to his mother who received it with delight and fastened it to the wall on which a gilded crucifix aad a print of the virgin already hung and i worked many days over my picture when il was completed i paid my models mother liberally gave tittle isidor a handful of small italian coin that made him feel as rich as a king and departed sorry to tarn my back on tho quaint stone house the

her beautiful boy standing on the high steps under tho shadow of a great vine that clung to the old wall i was sixty when i saw it again a man with his life be him i had achieved some fame my name was well known but i was no longer a bright- haired lighthearted young fellow with all lifes prizes towin one or two graves lay across the path i bad trodden many disillusions i thought of the man who had pointed little isidor almost its of some other whom i had known and been fond of i stood before the house where little isidor had lived with his mother it seem ed unchanged a vine grew over the door springing doubtless from the same roots the door was fast locked and in any case it was foolish to fancy that those two dwelt there still i walked away wrapped in a revery stumbled over the ioes of an old friend who was a government official and whobeized me by the arm with a light italianlaugl i well met he said i thought of going to findjyoa there is something in the town which an artist like yon

and jenny for example are walking to school and pass a cat which has been hurt or a bird with a broken wing in almost even- case the girl will stop to pet and care for the hurt creature she lavishes time and tenderness upon it while the boy with a shrug runs on and thinks no more of it it is jenny who will bring ftpwers to the invalid at home who will hang over her couch trying to be qsefnl who will gladly sacrifice play or sleep in order to help her joe as a rule hates a sick room shirks the sight of pain and has little sympathy to give to any misfortune or grief but if joe and jennyhave each ten dol lars to spend it will usually be the girl who will hoard the pennies or who will be hard and sharp in driving a bargain who will be unreasonable in expecting too mnch for her money from tradesmen yet if you probe the matter to the bottom you will probably find that naturally joe is not more liberal than bis sister or tbat jenny really is more allectionatfi than joe bat their training
