Down on Hie lower deck a boyish

She was clearly In the wrong, and
It would never do to bow to her lieforc

He might even niaLe her plead n lit

her promise not to offend again. —
For her own sake as well as his, for
tbe sake of their future happiness,
there must l>e no compromise. He had

So engrossed was Behman with his
thoughts that ho did uolwienr the light
footfall on tbe canvas covered deck
nor realize that his solitude had been
Intruded uikmi until Nell Wheaton
stood beside the rail and looked out
across the foam cnp|K*d waves.
Flic did not see him until she had
taken her stand beside the rail, nnd
then she wA tix> proud to bent a re
treat. Fhe stood quietly looking down
uj«m the water, oue hand clasping the
rail, the other clutching her hat.
On the lower deck the 1>o.vh had piled

playing on the mouth organ. He was
rather skillful nnd played with expres
sion bits of popular songs nnd atmtehes
from current musical productions. Bell
man found this concert more musical
than the efforts of the poorly i>aid
band within doors.
Then the music changed from new to
old, and the boy was playing some of
the songs that Nell had softly sung in
the weeks Ju»t gone ns he had pud
dled the canoe or had drifted with the
current.

"That's the way I treat bad little
girls,’’ he explained. "I’ve been bad

He paused suggestively, but Nell only
tapped his bronzed cheek with her

Nero a* an Art Lov»r.
One fact redeems to a certain extent
the memory of nil emperor whose
name Is held In abhorrence by young
students of history. The fact I* that,
whenever excarnttous have i>ceu made
In grounds known to have fielonged to
Nero, some genuine work of a Greek
master has been sure to come to light.
In other words, the only chance we
have left of discovering lost master
pieces Is to follow In the fooNtops
of Nero nnd search whatever building
Or sfre t* known to have been In hab
it I'd by 1dm—whether the golden house
ot Rome or the hunting l»ox at Subla-
queum or the sea cottage at Antlum.
Born In the last named place on Dec.
IT*. A. D. 37. he seems to have been
IK*ssosRed of a double nature, one half
of which was kind, generous, poetic,
artistic, musical, while the other was
unsftenkably depraved. Nothing could
show better this contrast in his per
sonality than a comparison between
two portrait busts, still extant, tho
first taken noon after his accession to
the throne, while still pulitless of dis
sipation, th# other after a few years of
shocking decadence and depravity.
The account given by Suetonius of the
first period of his career is quite charm
ing. The yooth appears to have been de
voted, body nnd soul, to sport nnd art
rather than to the ruling of the empire.
