"I found after one bot

Crosswhite. “Six bot

they were a God-send to
me. 1 believe I would
have died, had it not been

been found beneficial in

With resignation and patience Mar
vin Truesdale took up the burdens of
life after his wife had died. Her sick
ness, which had lasted for over a year,
had called for his constant presence
and he had removed ids studio to the
house. There was little Violet, two
years old.lo care for, and practically
his life was given up to the demands
of the sickroom and nursery.
' He was a true artist at soul, and
his troubles came upon him Just us
he was beginning to win recognition.
Before twelve months had gone by,
Truesdnle had practically lost his por-
! trait clients. Somehow, soul ami mind
seemed going through a change that
dulled all ambition. One of his sever-
, est disappointments was the discov
ery that he had made a mistake in
marrying in huste. ills wife was not
a helpmeet. All sin? seemed to care
j for was frivolity and dress. Site used
! up his income; even the coming of
little Violet did not arouse a right
appreciation of maternal duties. She
developed Into a fretful, capricious In
valid, with no thought beyond her own
distress, and demanding luxuries her
husband could poorly afford. When
she died Truesdale had barely enough
after selling nearly everything he had
I left of home and studio furnlshment,
tp meet the demands of his creditors.

He rented two furnished rooms In a
poor quarter. The little one was a
lovely child and clung to him, but she
too, however, was frail of frame, and
Truesdale was oppressed With a deep
dread that she might have inherited
the seeds of the disease which had
carried her mother to an early grave.
Finally a large mail-order house
specializing in enlarging photographs
offered Truesdale a position in hand
coloring them. It was uncongenial,
but lie was given a room all to him
self for his delicate work, and, what
meant a great deal more, an opportun
ity to have little Violet with him all
day long. There was a little empty
apartment adjoining his work room.
He bought some toys with which the
little one could amuse herself, a child’s
rocking chair and a couch, each noon
provided a nourishing lunch and was
glad and content as long as she was
not left to indifferent care at the
boarding house. ^
The room looked out upon a court
walled in on all sides and Violet did
not thrive. One day when her father
had left her to carry some finished
photographs to the mailing room, he
returned to greet a pleasing surprise.
Little Violet was seated on the couch
upon the lap of a lovely faced girl of
about nineteen, who was listening with
a smile of interest to her artless prat
tle. The Visitor arose, flushing with
some embarrassment. .
“I love children so that the voice
of tills little angel lured me to on
Intrusion,” she said. ‘‘I am Miss
Norine Warren. My mint has charge
of the help about ihe building and I ,
live with her on the lop floor.”
"And she lias a garden, oil, papa!” I
interrupted Violet. ‘ And flowers grow- j
ing way up under the sky. Can’t 1 ,
go up there at noontime, for site says ;
I can?”
"Come, both of you, please," invited j
Miss Warren, “and get a breath of
reni air. The chief Janitor has made
my aunt quite a roof garden—why not
pass your noon hour there? You will
find It pleasant and good for the little
one.”
And that noon the gracious, kindly
Miss Warren led those two to the
rooms where she and her aunt lived,
and thence by a narrow stairway to
the roof. Wire screened in tli^ great
er'portion of it. Here and there small
trees were set In tubs and flowers and
vines in boxes. There were several
chairs, settees, tables and a hammock
and an awning to shield from the aft
ernoon sun. it came about that Miss
Warren delighted in having little Vio
let for a guest most of the day. It
came about also that Truesdale should
pass several hours a week In tlnir
company. v
"Mv father, too, was an artist,” she
recited. "He was at work on ids Inst
picture when lie died. _ It was a his
torical subject. 1 was* his model. It
is still unfinished, but 1 will show it to
you.”
She led Truesdale to the room her
father hud used ns a studio, left Just
as it was when Robert Warren last
occupied It. Upon an easel was the
canvas she had told about. The'theme
appealed to every artistic instinct In
Truesdale’s improxslonnble‘nature. The
delineation of Norlne’s beautiful face
thrilled him. Back amid familiar sur
roundings his old aspirations aroused.
"If I dared to suggest It,” lie said,
"how my soul would delight in striv
ing to complete a canvus that the
world should not lose,” Itnd Norine
was glad, even urged him to essay the
task.
Old of it all came a strangely for
tunate issue. The completed canvas,
dead Robert Warren given the credit
of Its production, attracted the atten
tion of tlie public when placed on ex
hibition, and encouraged Truesdale.
He gradually felt 'f his way back to
the call of art In a practical, substan
tial way.
"I knew you had the genius to carry
forward my father’s work,” spoke
Norine one day.
"There was something more than
that." replied Truesdale. "Yoii were
Its central figure, and .from the can
vas always your eyes seemed to bid
me aspire and hope. It was not
genius that sustained me. It was—•

Getting Desperate.
Felix Frankfurter of the Populat
Government league, said at a banquet
in Cambridge;
"The authorities, to soothe us—for
they see we’re getting pretty deeper*
ate—the authorities now declare that ,
the high cost of living is going to
fall.”
Mr. Frankfurter made a gesture of
scorn and incredulity.
"Well, It has fallen,” he said—"©*
the consumer.”
Ideas Confuted.
"How are the women here as con
versationalists?”
"The light one over there Is ratitor
heavy, but the dark girl beslda bar
is very light.”
Extremes Meeting.
"The electrician who was on tbo
spot was certainly n live wire.”
"How do you knowt"
"I could tell by the way ho han
dled the dead one.”
