THE SALT LAKE HBIlAiD SUNDAY FEB 19 1905 SECTION THREE HOMEWARD BOUND c 4 t- Ji 1- A 3 II BRALPHAT1NER Hfi bright sun was pouring Ihtoush the skylight of I Academic Julicn 1n Park I and throwing patches of I vivId sunshine on the dusty floor as Hugh i stood scraping the dirty- i paint from his palette and smearing it over the lower part of the wall next to him wlth a cheerful disregard of consequences Suddenly Marshall heard a voice in ear saying Mlstere Marshall He turned and saw the secretary and fac totum of tho place who again ad dreased him Miaterc Marshall he said hare is a cdhipatriot of yours a gentleman from America so I bring him to you He has just arrived this day His name Is Mistere Webster And with the smile of one who relieves himself of all further responsibility the secretary withdrew Marshall surveyed his new Webster was dressed In a black diagonal suit the whole surface of which was covered with a network of tine lines beneath his ill fitting trous- ers appeared brown leather shoes marked substance sugges tive of salt and a low collar and gay necktie adorned with a cheap pin completed his costume His hair was ted ianil he wore It In the manner of a football player though the mere Ides of his little body in a scrimmage raised a smile The face beneath was small featured and pale with freckled paleness of a redhaired man but hls eyes were of a bright unexpected brown They were now ralsed to Mar haWs with a look of a hunted animal He oxtended his hand Im very pleased to meet you he said Marshall took the hand How are you he answered Have you Just come Yes said the other I got here to dayAt that moment the model yawned cavernously stretched his arms above his head and stepping off the platform began pulling on his trousers The workers glanced at the clock it was exactly noon The easels were pushed bask and a noisy rush to the water tank took place It Is lunch time explained Marshall- If you will wait while I wash my brushes I will take you somewhere to eat Sit down here He pulled a high stool toward who seated himself on the ex- treme edge with his heels on the sec- ond rung in an attitude of merely pro- visional comfort while Marshall joined the groups at the tank When that an proximate degree of cleanliness of brushes and person which is allowed to pass muster in the Latin Quarter was reached Marshall conducted his pro tege to the street V ebster turned at the door and looked back It does seem strange to get here at last he said rye been walling and waiting so long to do it Is it all like what you expected asked Marshall Why no not exactly replied the other But then Im all mixed up Did you say It was 12 oclock It seems to me like afternoon Marshall entered one of the smaller restaurants on the Boulevard He or- dered luncheon and while it was be Ing eaten gathered some knowledge of his companion febsterkneiv dn immense fear of spending more than he ought His helpless state had in spired the pity of some of his fellow passengers on the steamer and acting- en the advice he had come straight to Julien tKustlng to the Providence which cares for his class He casttie burden of his arrangements upon Marshall wlth The Ma- tter responded with the good humor of the Bohemian and It was not until late in the afternoon when he had Webster at a small hotel and Introduced him at the club that he re turned to his own affairs I am sorry I have to leaveyou he said for I am going to the country for my vacation tomorrow but I shall see you again In the autumn when we ill assemble He vanished and as he made his preparations for departure he laughed aloud Webster he said to himself and Daniel Ill be bound A Daniel come to judgment Im afraid poor chap for lies sure to have any amount oC trouble ahead Well I did all I could for hint and he must learn to stand on his own legs Two months had run around from summer to autumn before Marshall again on tared the atelier of the Aca- demic Jullen All was noise and several models were posing at once and the room was so filled with that seen from little distance they resembled masts In a crowded harbor At the noon rest Marshall heard a small voice beside him saying How you He looked round and per- ceived his former protege If he had seemed small and slight before he was now much more so His hair was long- er and more unkempt and he wore a vile pair of soiled corduroy trousers There was the same deprecating look about him and his eyes were larger and more bright Marshall greeted him cordially and asked to ste his work Webster then his attention to an easel a Jarge canvass and Marshall room and looked the work over fn silence The poor youthplaln belonged to that class of students- to whom advice and assistance are im- possible whose masters after a few efforts leave them to their own de- vices study was in color and on a large scale painted with an attempt at extreme finish of detail which gave greater absurdity to the faults of mod cling and proportion a weeka veryshort time in which to complete a study Webster said I shall not be able to finish thlsIJn a good deal to change I have introduced a land- scape bankground but the professor did not seem greatly to fancy It so I have changed It as I think a student should always be guided by his in- structor There is no use of being in his hands if you have no confidence in his juflgnient Dont you think so Certainly certainly agreed Mar fled The winter months were on and In the hurry of the short days work was the first consideration and Marshall had no leisure to follow up Webster Still he saw him at the atelier almost dully In fact it seemed as it Webster took pains to keep himseir so far in evidence but he never aimed at more than a word or two of greeting or rc mark about current events Marsh was upon them and the days fast when as Mar- shall was approaching the atelier one morning he saw Webster standing at the gateway- A prophetic instinct told Marshall that something troublesome was about to and he felt instantly that he had anticipated from the first He waved his hand however and called out his are you some distance quickening his at the same time Webster met him with evident embarrassment and said at onpe- Could you come to my plac this Iwould take it very kindly- of you I want your opinion of Ive been doing Of course Ill come said Marshall Something for the Salon I presume Why yes answqr a Wabsfcer Its matter of some me and there is o QUO I would ask the T Mar qn r acquaint- ance long 1 no fill placid

Marshall and they turned into the atelier The Rue Dauphine is lit- tle street the houses of which have for the most part a sordid appearance ahd at one of the worst stopped As there was lib sign of a concierge Marshall after a few min- utes hesitation begin to mbunt the stairs He had reached the first land- ing and was peering about him when a door opened and Webster looked outI was afraid you might miss the place so I was keeping a watch for you he explained with his nervous laugh This way please Entering Marshall found himself in a room of the The floor was tiled arid the tUes were damp and broken a small stove was burning in one corner and a smell oC youno an obscure poorest deseripuon ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ cooking pervaded itbeplace A nar row Iron bed a coarse brown blanket ran along one side of the room the window was large but looking full to the north admitted of sunshine A number of broken a table com- posed the furniture Marshall was too well trained in thaetiquette of Bo- hemia to have anydoubt as to what he should do Ho seated himself on the bed and glanced about him What a cozy place y0u have he remarked with a smile cozy being a euphemistic expression applied In Bohemia to any ropm which is small and overheated- But wheres he grjfcat work ho continued glancing about him I keep it to be away from the dust said Webster Ill get it He disappeared and Marshall with- a quick movementof his hand felt the mattress Straw he ejaculated and eggshells in the coal hod sure signs of selfrespecting poverty The door and Webster re- turned bearing an unframed canvas In silence he placed it on a Chair and then took his seat at tttc other end of the bed his eyes fixed on Marshalls face The picture was not really of large proportions but seen under these circumstances it appeared to fill the room It was a stormy marine piece treated In a conventional manner and atrociously ill executed In the dis- tance outlined against a lurid sunset- a black vessel was being beaten against some rocks In the foreground the fig- ure of a drowned mariner was ex tended on the sand while a number of birds which from their size could only have been a flock of albatrosses- were scattered about in various parts of the picture The drawings were In accurate throughout the color and unnatural the touch and execu tion uncertain All this Marshall perceived at a glance but he continued to gaze half closing his eyes and malting a tele scope with his hand- I want you to be perfectly frank with me said Webster at last If you think it cant possibly get in I want you to tell me so and then you see I neednt spend on my frame So his voice shook a little I hope you will say just what you think He paused again a moment The color has sunk in some he added wistfully- It will look betterwhen Its var- nished And bendIjg forward he rubbed the canvas tenderly with his moistened finger Marshall meanwhile was going through an inward debate Would it not be better to tell the truth cour teously but decisively Would it not be really the kindest thing to do To say anything else seemed impossible- His mouth was opening for his flint sentence when who had been looking at the floor began to speak again with a hurried rush of words I want to tell you he said so you can understand about it I know I havent had much training but I was always very fond of art I worked in photographers place at Booncville I used to color the prints sometimes and I made some crayon portraits of our prominent citizens and so I saved up some not much There was a fel low came through the town He said Paris was the place for art and just then my mother got a little money left brother she was just wild for me to ge to Paris year and so I came Maybe It was selfish of me for I left my mother all alone and shes pretty old but I sorter felt I had to come Now Im here I see the great thing is to get into the Salon That home said so too I went last year and there did seem toibe some things not any better than looked up for the first time and so I thought Id try I think a man should have confidence in himself he added alter a pause clasping and unclasping his thin hands nervously and I didnt mean to say anything anyone but Ive kinder lost my grip- I guess Im not quitO well for I felt I must speak to you It will be a great thing for ine 1C I get In theyll think a lot of me at home I dare say theyll make me teacher in the public schools- or something So I ask you to tell me I respect your opinion a lot Mr Marshall The words on Marshalls lips un formed themselves All his life he had been popular the admiration and lik ing of his fellows was a necessity to him To hurt to seem Impossible What Web- ster said was true He also had seen things as bad in the Salon but he knew that influence had placed them there think what you say abQut confi- dence is the ticket he said Your own feeling is the guide Of course you know that there rarelotgsw- friks we all have to titles ijjxeni Jjut no- ra and he I dirty feebleand a herher diedand for man I minehe I anothereven unkindwas a tb bent ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ I think every man should stand on his own base like a little tin soldier You have three weeks to sending time and there are some alter if I were you Those birds now theyre pretty big arent they If you brought them forward theyd be as big as a man He added a few more criti- cisms By the by what do you call it he asked A good name more than great riches I call it Homeward Bound said Webster Thats good in English but Im afraid the French will make it Nan frage Then you really advise me to send it Id try anyway said Marshall Goodby I must trot home On the quays the lamps were lighted casting their long shafts of light into the Water as Marshall strode away NbwraiifI the greatest liar 1h ParIs things Id i 1 I ¬ he asked himself or was I right Anyway hell find out for himself and its not fair to make a Sir Oracle of a map will In the Rue Dauphine Webster was putting on his kettle to bon chocolate There was in It and he bought only one roll that evening Men who tiave to buy frames should economize The next week passed under pressure of work Marshall and the friend with whom he shared a studio both toiling- on the pictures they were sending to the Salon Th r s days passed however at last the easels stood empty in the teellng of relief all the artists began oldie and take their ease iin the lengthening days of spring In the of good fel lowship Marshall decided to look up Webster and he proposed it to his chum as were drinking bocks one afternoon on the Boulevard On reaching the Dauphine Mar- shall mounted the Etairs and knocked There was no audible response and after waiting a few moments he pushed open the door and entered The room was as before except that a thick layer- of dust gave a faint bluish tone to everything On the narrow Iron bed Webster lay extended He lifted his head at the sound of the opening door Is it the letters madame he asked His eyes met Marshalls and there rose in his face a faint expression of pleas- ure mingled with mortification He pulled the blanket up to his chin with one hand while he extended the other Why old man Im sorry youre ill cried Marshall Heres Halstead my chum and I came to get you for a walk The mortification was uppermost In Websters face as he held out his hand to Halstead Im sorry find me like this he said In a faint voice but Ive been pretty bad for a Sew days and things get out of order Its a shame you fellows should come so far and find me sick But I say cried Marshall you should really have a doctor dont you think so You look pretty feverish I know- I shall be all right in a day or two- I dont want any doctor said Web- ster with a touch of petulance The woman of the house will look after me I only feel a bit under the weather its just a touch of spring fever They chatted on for while and the visitors rose to go Ill see you again tomorrow said Marshall Outside they found the woman of the house and held a council If he is any worse send for the nearest doctor and dont hesitate about expense said Marshall Ah messieurs cried the woman that Is the whole affair Ever since he began that picture he has not spent a no milk nd first tb y you should badyoure a against his genera1 expansion ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ sou First it must be brushes paint aijd canvas and then a model and at last this frame Such a frame Gilt and as wide as that Oh he starved not his picture it was his own poor stom- ach he starved Ah he dipped his bread In the hearts blood when he painted that picture and now my hus- band who knows about such things he says it is nqt good it will not be accepted The friends walked some distance in silence then Marshall spoke Were In for it assented the other The next few days brought no im- provement in Websters condition The doctor was summoned and pronounced- it a case of typhoid fever brought on by poor food and air and the probable use of bad water Webster lay in a baittorpid condition from which It was difficult to rouse him except at post times when he became excited and t Tom- es 4 ¬ ¬ ¬ would eagerly debate the ohances of acceptance of his picture day as Marshall was about to enter the woman house of Cared him two letters which had just arrived for Webster One was directed in a feeble womans hand and bore an American stamp thq other had on Its corner the image and superscription of the Salon He felt it held it to th light mid then If into his pocket Heres a letter front home he an- nounced cheerfully Webster took It Isnt there any thing from the Salon yet he eagerly asUced No replied Marnall with serene mendacity but yoUilcnow the longer you wait the mo chances you have His consolations seemed however unavailing and he relieved when the doctor calltd for his usual visit Marshall left the room with him and lingered talking on the stairs That afternoon as Halstead was pre- paring for his afternoon tea Marshall entered and closed th door behind him with a bang He at the piano and ran his the keys for some time in silence then he turned and faced his friend I he Well This came for Webster today He heW out the missive from the Salon Kalstead took it shook and held t fi the lights A rejection he said Poor chap how is lie spins to take He Isnt going to take It at all said Marshall with decision I tell you hes got to have that picture In Tbe doctor says there is hardly a chance of his getting well and the only thing that keepa him up is his eagerness about this but if hes disap- pointed hell go Like enough hell go anyway but hes sure to if he hears about this How are you going to manage though objected Halstead You cant get the picture into the Salon In the face of the committee Youve got your acceponce and tick- et havent you Well me have them and Ill fix it said Mar- shall Halstead produced the papers and Marshall extended Websters letter over the steaming teakettle An hour later the envelope re stamped and inclosing a different mes- sage dropped into the nearest box Thats done said Marshall And a good job too answered his friend The next morning when they entered Websters room hailed them with a smile See here he cried holding up a letter This came Just now I know youll be glad His whole face beamed with Joy The friends read ne ot the was sat 1own fingers ver began 1 you let 1 ItT ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ and broke Into eager congratulations- The most cheering anticipations of success will not stop the progress of fever Webster grew ateadUy worse Often he seemed unconscious of all about him and lay storing at the cell Ing but he always liked to keep the notice of acceptance under his head Varnishing day came and found him far too ill to think of going and at lasLJthe doctor shook his head and said he feared the patient Avould not last twentyfour hours The hums took turns to sit with him but as the day wore on Marshall re fused to give up his place and the two settled down for the night The soft dusk of a Paris evening began to fall around them Webster seemed asleep and they kept silence watch- Ing the sky changing behind the dome of the Pantheon to the warm darkness of a spring night Marshall rose and lit the lamp the light from the sick mans eyes Suddenly Webster began to speak in a soft even voice No he said Im glad I came It was worth while and now my pictures in They cant say any of them it was no use to try it He turned his head Marshall he saidYes old man Youll write and Ull mother all about It and about the you know and I tried to make the money go as I could Therell be enough to bury me I think Oh thats all right old man you mustnt talk like that Youre going- to set well and paint a lot more pic turesNo I am not and Im sorter glad too Maybe I couldnt have an- other so good another good enough to get into the Salon Youve both been real kind I used to look at you in Julians and wish I was a big strong man like you I used to think you were a dude he added to Halstoad Im sorry He sank off into unconsciousness- The night wore on Through the half open window came the occasional sound of footsteps and the still less frequent rattle of wheels Suddenly a voice in thfe street broke the silence singing The noise roused Webster who started Air he cried I want air Marshall lifted him while Halstead threw the window wide Pray said Webster faintly The two men exchanged a wild You began Halstead I dont know- I tell you got to hissed Marshall Anything do only be cuick Halstead dropped on big knees and in a shing voice began Our Fa ther He ended with a sob and bur ied his face in the coarse blanket his shoulders working More the dying voice Go on commanded Marshall Va me recollections of a church serv- ice tong unheard and half forgotten sentence after sentence rose discon- nectedly to his like bubbles in- still Then turning he looked Into the The glorious company oT the Apostles praise Thee The goodly fellowship of the

Hfi bright sun was pouringIhtoush the skylight of

I Academic Julicn 1n ParkI and throwing patches ofI vivId sunshine on the dusty

floor as Hughi stood scraping the dirty-i paint from his palette and

smearing it over the lowerpart of the wall next to him wlth acheerful disregard of consequences

Suddenly Marshall heard a voice inear saying Mlstere Marshall He

turned and saw the secretary and factotum of tho place who again addreased him

Miaterc Marshall he said hare isa cdhipatriot of yours a gentlemanfrom America so I bring him to youHe has just arrived this day His nameIs Mistere Webster And with thesmile of one who relieves himself of allfurther responsibility the secretarywithdrew

Marshall surveyed his newWebster was dressed In a black

diagonal suit the whole surface ofwhich was covered with a network oftine lines beneath his ill fitting trous-ers appeared brown leather shoesmarked substance suggestive of salt and a low collar andgay necktie adorned with a cheap pincompleted his costume His hair wasted ianil he wore It In the mannerof a football player though the mereIdes of his little body in a scrimmageraised a smile The face beneath wassmall featured and pale with freckledpaleness of a redhaired man but hlseyes were of a bright unexpectedbrown They were now ralsed to MarhaWs with a look of a hunted animalHe oxtended his hand

Im very pleased to meet you hesaid Marshall took the hand

How are you he answered Haveyou Just come

Yes said the other I got here todayAt

that moment the model yawnedcavernously stretched his arms abovehis head and stepping off the platformbegan pulling on his trousers Theworkers glanced at the clock it wasexactly noon The easels were pushedbask and a noisy rush to the watertank took place

It Is lunch time explained Marshall-If you will wait while I wash my

brushes I will take you somewhere toeat Sit down here

He pulled a high stool towardwho seated himself on the ex-

treme edge with his heels on the sec-ond rung in an attitude of merely pro-visional comfort while Marshall joinedthe groups at the tank When that anproximate degree of cleanliness ofbrushes and person which is allowed topass muster in the Latin Quarter wasreached Marshall conducted his protege to the street

V ebster turned at the door andlooked back It does seem strange toget here at last he said rye beenwalling and waiting so long to do it

Is it all like what you expectedasked Marshall

Why no not exactly replied theother But then Im all mixed upDid you say It was 12 oclock It seemsto me like afternoon

Marshall entered one of the smallerrestaurants on the Boulevard He or-dered luncheon and while it was beIng eaten gathered some knowledge ofhis companion

febsterkneiv dnimmense fear of spending more thanhe ought His helpless state had inspired the pity of some of his fellowpassengers on the steamer and acting-en the advice he had come straight toJulien tKustlng to the Providencewhich cares for his class He casttieburden of his arrangements uponMarshall wlth The Ma-tter responded with the good humor ofthe Bohemian and It was not until latein the afternoon when he had

Webster at a small hotel andIntroduced him at the club that he returned to his own affairs

I am sorry I have to leaveyou hesaid for I am going to the countryfor my vacation tomorrow but I shallsee you again In the autumn when weill assemble

He vanished and as he made hispreparations for departure he laughedaloud Webster he said to himself

and Daniel Ill be bound A Danielcome to judgment Im afraid poorchap for lies sure to have any amountoC trouble ahead Well I did all I couldfor hint and he must learn to stand onhis own legs

Two months had run around fromsummer to autumn before Marshallagain on tared the atelier of the Aca-demic Jullen All was noise and

several models were posing atonce and the room was so filled with

that seen from little distancethey resembled masts In a crowdedharbor

At the noon rest Marshall heard asmall voice beside him saying How

you He looked round and per-ceived his former protege If he hadseemed small and slight before he wasnow much more so His hair was long-er and more unkempt and he wore avile pair of soiled corduroy trousersThere was the same deprecating lookabout him and his eyes were largerand more bright

Marshall greeted him cordially andasked to ste his work Webster then

his attention to an easela Jarge canvass and Marshall

Certainly certainly agreed Marfled

The winter months were on and Inthe hurry of the short days work wasthe first consideration and Marshallhad no leisure to follow up WebsterStill he saw him at the atelier almostdully In fact it seemed as it Webstertook pains to keep himseir so far inevidence but he never aimed at morethan a word or two of greeting or rcmark about current events

Marsh was upon them and the daysfast when as Mar-

shall was approaching the atelier onemorning he saw Webster standing atthe gateway-

A prophetic instinct told Marshallthat something troublesome was aboutto and he felt instantly thathe had anticipated from the firstHe waved his hand however andcalled out his are you

some distance quickening hisat the same time Webster met himwith evident embarrassment and saidat onpe-

except one I know so well Illexpect you there about 5 if that is con-venient No 20 Rue Dauphihe

Very well answered Marshall andthey turned into the atelier

The Rue Dauphine is lit-tle street the houses of which havefor the most part a sordid appearanceahd at one of the worststopped As there was lib sign of aconcierge Marshall after a few min-utes hesitation begin to mbunt thestairs He had reached the first land-ing and was peering about him whena door opened and Webster lookedoutI was afraid you might miss theplace so I was keeping a watch foryou he explained with his nervouslaugh This way please

Entering Marshall found himself in aroom of the Thefloor was tiled arid the tUes weredamp and broken a small stove wasburning in one corner and a smell oC

cooking pervaded itbeplace A narrow Iron bed a coarsebrown blanket ran along one side ofthe room the window was large butlooking full to the north admitted

of sunshine A number ofbroken a table com-posed the furniture Marshall wastoo well trained in thaetiquette of Bo-hemia to have anydoubt as to whathe should do Ho seated himself onthe bed and glanced about him

What a cozy place y0u have heremarked with a smile cozy beinga euphemistic expression applied InBohemia to any ropm which is smalland overheated-

But wheres he grjfcat work hocontinued glancing about him

I keep it to be away fromthe dust said Webster Ill get it

He disappeared and Marshall with-a quick movementof his hand felt themattress Straw he ejaculated andeggshells in the coal hod sure signs ofselfrespecting poverty

The door and Webster re-turned bearing an unframed canvasIn silence he placed it on a Chair andthen took his seat at tttc other end ofthe bed his eyes fixed on Marshallsface The picture was not really oflarge proportions but seen under thesecircumstances it appeared to fill theroom It was a stormy marine piecetreated In a conventional manner andatrociously ill executed In the dis-tance outlined against a lurid sunset-a black vessel was being beaten againstsome rocks In the foreground the fig-ure of a drowned mariner was extended on the sand while a numberof birds which from their size couldonly have been a flock of albatrosses-were scattered about in various partsof the picture The drawings were Inaccurate throughout the colorand unnatural the touch and execution uncertain

All this Marshall perceived at aglance but he continued to gaze halfclosing his eyes and malting a telescope with his hand-

I want you to be perfectly frankwith me said Webster at last Ifyou think it cant possibly get in Iwant you to tell me so and then yousee I neednt spend on my frame So

his voice shook a little I hope youwill say just what you think Hepaused again a moment The colorhas sunk in some he added wistfully-It will look betterwhen Its var-

nished And bendIjg forward herubbed the canvas tenderly with hismoistened finger

Marshall meanwhile was goingthrough an inward debate Would itnot be better to tell the truth courteously but decisively Would it notbe really the kindest thing to do Tosay anything else seemed impossible-His mouth was opening for his flintsentence when who had beenlooking at the floor began to speakagain with a hurried rush of words

I want to tell you he said so youcan understand about it I know Ihavent had much training but I wasalways very fond of art I worked in

photographers place at BooncvilleI used to color the prints sometimesand I made some crayon portraits ofour prominent citizens and so I savedup some not much There was a fellow came through the town He saidParis was the place for art and justthen my mother got a little money left

brother she was justwild for me to ge to Paris yearand so I came Maybe It was selfish ofme for I left my mother all alone andshes pretty old but I sorter felt I hadto come Now Im here I see the greatthing is to get into the Salon That

home said so tooI went last year and there did seem

toibe some things not any better thanlooked up for the first time

and so I thought Id try I think aman should have confidence in himselfhe added alter a pause clasping andunclasping his thin hands nervouslyand I didnt mean to say anything

anyone but Ive kinder lost my grip-I guess Im not quitO well for I feltI must speak to you It will be a greatthing for ine 1C I get In theyll think alot of me at home I dare say theyllmake me teacher in the public schools-

or something So I ask you to tellme I respect your opinion a lot MrMarshall

The words on Marshalls lips unformed themselves All his life he hadbeen popular the admiration and liking of his fellows was a necessity tohim To hurt to seem

Impossible What Web-ster said was true He also had seenthings as bad in the Salon but he knewthat influence had placed them there

he asked himself or was I rightAnyway hell find out for himself andits not fair to make a Sir Oracle of amap will

In the Rue Dauphine Webster wasputting on his kettle to bon chocolateThere was in It and he boughtonly one roll that evening Men whotiave to buy frames should economize

The next week passed under pressureof work Marshall and the friend withwhom he shared a studio both toiling-on the pictures they were sending tothe Salon Th r s days passedhowever at last the easels stood empty

in the teellng of relief all theartists began oldie and take their easeiin the lengthening days of spring

In the of good fellowship Marshall decided to look upWebster and he proposed it to hischum as were drinking bocksone afternoon on the Boulevard

On reaching the Dauphine Mar-shall mounted the Etairs and knockedThere was no audible response andafter waiting a few moments he pushedopen the door and entered The roomwas as before except that a thick layer-of dust gave a faint bluish tone toeverything On the narrow Iron bedWebster lay extended He lifted hishead at the sound of the opening door

Is it the letters madame he askedHis eyes met Marshalls and there rosein his face a faint expression of pleas-ure mingled with mortification Hepulled the blanket up to his chin withone hand while he extended the other

Why old man Im sorry youre illcried Marshall Heres Halstead mychum and I came to get you for awalk

The mortification was uppermost InWebsters face as he held out his handto Halstead

Im sorry find me likethis he said In a faint voice but Ivebeen pretty bad for a Sew days andthings get out of order Its a shameyou fellows should come so far and findme sick

But I say cried Marshall youshould really have a doctor dont youthink so You look prettyfeverish I know-

I shall be all right in a day or two-I dont want any doctor said Web-ster with a touch of petulance Thewoman of the house will look after meI only feel a bit under the weather itsjust a touch of spring fever

They chatted on for while and thevisitors rose to go Ill see you againtomorrow said Marshall

Outside they found the woman of thehouse and held a council If he isany worse send for the nearest doctorand dont hesitate about expense saidMarshall

Ah messieurs cried the womanthat Is the whole affair Ever since hebegan that picture he has not spent a

would eagerly debate the ohances ofacceptance of his picture

day as Marshall was about toenter the woman house ofCaredhim two letters which had just arrivedfor Webster One was directed in afeeble womans hand and bore anAmerican stamp thq other had on Itscorner the image and superscription ofthe Salon He felt it held it to thlight mid then If into his pocket

Heres a letter front home he an-nounced cheerfully

Webster took It Isnt there anything from the Salon yet he eagerlyasUced

No replied Marnall with serenemendacity but yoUilcnow the longeryou wait the mo chances you have

His consolations seemed howeverunavailing and he relieved whenthe doctor calltd for his usual visitMarshall left the room with him andlingered talking on the stairs

That afternoon as Halstead was pre-paring for his afternoon tea Marshallentered and closed th door behind himwith a bang He at the pianoand ran his the keys forsome time in silence then he turnedand faced his friend

I heWellThis came for Webster today

He heW out the missive from theSalon Kalstead took it shook andheld t fi the lights

A rejection he said Poor chaphow is lie spins to take

He Isnt going to take It at allsaid Marshall with decision I tellyou hes got to have that picture InTbe doctor says there is hardly achance of his getting well and theonly thing that keepa him up is hiseagerness about this but if hes disap-pointed hell go Like enough hell goanyway but hes sure to if he hearsabout this

How are you going to managethough objected Halstead Youcant get the picture into the Salon Inthe face of the committee

Youve got your acceponce and tick-et havent you Well mehave them and Ill fix it said Mar-shall

Halstead produced the papers andMarshall extended Websters letterover the steaming teakettle

An hour later the envelope restamped and inclosing a different mes-sage dropped into the nearest box

Thats done said MarshallAnd a good job too answered his

friendThe next morning when they entered

Websters room hailed them with asmile See here he cried holding upa letter This came Just now Iknow youll be glad His whole facebeamed with Joy The friends read

and broke Into eager congratulations-The most cheering anticipations of

The hums took turns to sit with himbut as the day wore on Marshall refused to give up his place and thetwo settled down for the night Thesoft dusk of a Paris evening beganto fall around them Webster seemedasleep and they kept silence watch-Ing the sky changing behind the domeof the Pantheon to the warm darknessof a spring night Marshall rose andlit the lamp the light fromthe sick mans eyes

Suddenly Webster began to speak ina soft even voice No he said Imglad I came It was worth while andnow my pictures in They cant sayany of them it was no use to try itHe turned his head Marshall hesaidYes old man

Youll write and Ull mother allabout It and about the youknow and I tried to make themoney go as I could Therellbe enough to bury me I think

Oh thats all right old man youmustnt talk like that Youre going-to set well and paint a lot more picturesNo I am not and Im sorter gladtoo Maybe I couldnt have an-other so good another good enough toget into the Salon Youve both beenreal kind I used to look at you inJulians and wish I was a big strongman like you I used to think youwere a dude he added to HalstoadIm sorryHe sank off into unconsciousness-

The night wore on Through the halfopen window came the occasionalsound of footsteps and the still lessfrequent rattle of wheels Suddenly avoice in thfe street broke the silencesinging The noise roused Websterwho started

The two men exchanged a wild

Halstead dropped on big knees andin a shing voice began Our Father He ended with a sob and buried his face in the coarse blanket hisshoulders working
