HE FINISHED HIS WORK
?
By J. A. TIFFANY.
ftil man won old and bfOlWW >"
Hplcit. 11!m llfo had been a failure, a?
all IIvob are, measured by the degree
In which they fulttll the dreams of
youth.
! At two and-twenty ho had mistaken
the flush of onthuulabiu for the fire
of genius. After a <juarter of u cen
tury's devotion to small parts In third
rate theatrical companies, be had been
! forced to the conclusion that a man
KotM 110 more, or lea*, than hl? lal>or
iu worth; and that his own labor was
worth very little.
Ilia wlfo had been beautiful. Now,
wan a poor, faded, common-place
creature. Her UIuhIouu, too, were all
Kone, like her beauty; and, worse than
that, the man'H Illusions In regard to
h?*r wer*j dead alao.
She had no more talent for acting
; than had he; and they both knew It
now.
Of gentle bfrth, she still retained
? Bome tracea of refinement, In spito of
her long aojourn In Jtohenila. Hut the
novelty, the charm, the mystery of the
llfo wero gone.
I Every Illusion had been destroyed,
nave one; and to that they clung with
desperate tenacity. At an early period
! iu their married life the man had
j conceived a great literary project.
"I've been thinking, Evelyn," he had
) ?ald one day, Jlof writing a historical
account of tho?drama from its first In
\ ceptlon down to the present day.
Imaglno the possibilities of Buch a
work!"
"Splendid!" the woman had ex
claimed. "Why don't you begin at
once?"
And he had begun that very day. He
knew then that It waa no mean task,
i thlB that he had aet himself. It meant
J much reading, research, condensing,
' writing, re-writing and writing again.
: Not a book that a man could rattle off
In six months or a year.
The one Illusion that tho hard reali
ties of life had failed to dissipate was
tills: That though both were failures
at acting, yet one day the man was
1 to achieve fame for himself and a
| competence for them both by the pub
lication of his great history of the
drama ? tho dedication to a grateful
i world of hie life's work.
! For twenty years and more ho had
| stuck stoically to" his task.
Often the last nickel went for pa
per, whilfe the children were crying
for bread. Present necessities were
forgott'en, or ignored, In the anticipa
tion of comforts to be bought through
tho sale of Reginald's life work,
i "I have finished it at last, Evelyn,"
the* man announced one day ? one day
vwhllo they wore in Baltimore. "X
have finished my life's work."
For three months he awaited tho
? publishers' decision, calling upon them
I at Intervals, only to be told that his
| manuscript would receive tho earliest
i attention possible. Three long, weary
j anxious months; and then the . man
j took to ills bed in a high fever. Ho
; was delirious, and raved about his
| book.
"Finished, finished!" he would shout
I exultingly. "I have finished my life's
? work!" ? and another time he would
repeat the same words, with a wall
of anguish and despair.
Then tho woman passed her cooling
hand across his brow, and sought to
comfort him by saying his life's work
was only just begun.
One evening as he lay helpless on
his pillow, the crimson rays of the
sotting sun shone suddenly into tho
room and lighted up his pallid face,
handsome even in emaciation. He
started up to^his elbow, with wide
staring eyes, exclaiming:
"Finished ? finished! I have fin
ished my life's work. I am going
homo."
And the tears that welled to Eve
lyn's eyes had fallen from them to her
cheeks, she looked once more upon
his face and saw Ills words wero true.
Tho man was dead. He had finished
his life's work. He had gone borne.
And while tho woman sat in silent
grief, gazing on the dead face of him
whom she had loved so well, there
camo a gentle tap upon tho door.
It was Mr. Hayes, an elderly gentle
man from tho publishers' office, who
had called once or twice before to in
qulro after the health of the author
of the bulky manuscript.
"At last, my dear lady," he Laid, "I
am able to report that our house has
accepted your husband's life work."
"Your house?" the woman echoed,
failing at first to recognize her visitor
or comprehend hie meaning ? tho one,
cruel sense of widowhood overwhelm
ing all things else.
Then, as the recollection of the
fatal book that had supped her hus
band's lifo away came back to her
with bitter memories, sho said:
"Your house? Too late ? too late!
Ho has gone to another house. There
his life'n work can be Judged tho boat.
His llfo work will bo accepted or re
jected, in his father's house."

i Something to Think About.
Laurenco D'Orsay i? tolling of a
time when a brother comedian and
himself were comparing the si*e of
thetr respective cheats and biceps In
IVOrsay's dressing-room one evening.
"FVel the muscles of my neck," D'Or
say said. "Put your fingers around my
throat." The other gripped D'Oraay's
throat while the latter set hie teeth
! and contracted all tho musclee. He
j seemed much Impressed by tho dls
: play, and tVOrsay aays he expected
: some compliment to his muscular de
; volopmont. AJ1 the other said, how

GREAT PAINTER'S EARLY DAYS
Zlem Was a Tailor** Assistant, *n(j
Worked Hit Way to Italy
to Study,
Ziem. Hitting cross legged ou a ta
ble beside a window, worked as a tail
or's uHalhl tint for several years. )||H
life wau thrown into a now channel
hy the arrival In the courtyard of un
Italian family In which there wan a
handsome, auburn-baited Klrl, who
HaiiK as a ballad binder. Th.< father
played a hurdy gyrdV* the mother made
luce, and a hoy performed divers gym
nastlc feats. The girl had a fi,M>
voice. Her father wanted a now coat
and asked the elder Zlom to make It
and Mmo. /tern to take In u part of
the family as lodgortff Bhe took Is
the boy und Klrl.
The latter lifted the future painter
out of himself with her Venetian songs
and account 8 of the glorious city to
which alio hoped noon to return. Her
name wa? Caterina. When she went
away Zlem folt miserable. ilo lost
spirit and could not shake off the sort
of paralysis that had solved on all his
faculties. . At la?t he determined -
with the help of his needle and his
talent, as he thought, of portrait paint
er and violinist ? to make, his way to
Venice. They answered to his hopes
of going down by water to Marseilles,
for ho knew no geography, and thence
to Rome.
It would he now curious to see the
portraits of Saone and Rhone captains
of bnrges, wine and wood rafts tjmt
he did for them in lieu of passage
money; In Rome he got in with paint
ers and tourists. The former helped
him to enlarge his artistic culture, and
the littter took him about as a guide.
But Caterina and Venice lay on his
heart, and he took the bold resolution
of going on foot to the city of his
dreamB. lie so fell In love with it the
first day he went on the Lido that he
did not break his heart when he heard
that Caterina hiyi not turned up, hut
had gone to Paris to serve as a model.
