[By Special Arrange ment.- Copyright.] AN ARTIST'S RANSOM. By EMILY S. WINDSOR. "What a steep rock" cried a young man. leaning over an abyss. It was in just such a place that Prometheus must have been chained. It seems that these profound cavities have been made for a refuge for force and violence, those two divinities whom the poet Eachylus had celebrated. If ever leisure should be -iTeU to me to devote myself to one of those great ..z the artist which paes his name down to pos- terity, this mountain should be my Caucasus. I would bring down the vulture which inces- santly gnawed the liTer of that generous mortal whose audacious hand had snatched the celestial dame from the gods." While the young man abandoned himself to his enthusiasm, a brigand of the Abruzzes had glided after him, and repeated, in a terrible voice, the time-honoured formula "Your money or your life. Signor" The young man turned his head with the indifference of a traveller who had long been awaiting such a, demand. "My money," replied he; "go and demand it of the last innkeeper in the valley. Nothing remains to me but life. and you can take that, if you wish. I do not cling to it." There was a bitterness so profound' in the accent with which these words were pro- nounced, that the horizontal position of the robber's gun became perpendicular, and he, moved by the instinct which draws those who have suffered, advanced towards the traveller. "You are. then. unhappy?" said he. "Will you be one of usr" At this moment several other bandits came upon the scene, and with them a woman of remarkable beauty. She ran Quickly to the first brigand, as if to assure herself that he had not met with any mishap. "I am not hurt. Mariette. It is a. boy. without anas. Some pupil of the school of painting. Do you not sec that end of a pencil on the rock here, "Xo quarter," said an old mar, who appeared to be chief of the hand, and whose ferocious aspect betokened a life of brigand- age. "Xo quarter. These painters arc often spies, who come to reproduce our faces tj give. them to the Government. They scatter our portraits in the towns and villages. It is at such a pass now that we cannot go to chnrch for fear o-f being recogniscd. I have had to miss Mass several times. Xo, no quarter." "But," replied the first fellow, "this one has the air of being disenchanted with the world. And to have mounted here without knowing the paths, he must be a, man of resolution. We have lost poor Francesco—who was about his age. I have just ,proposed to him to become one of us." "Thanks for your offer," remarked the traveller, coldly; "but I have no taste for your trade." "I am thinking," replied the bandit, "that you are a veritable child of Xa/ples, and that you are flying from the persecution of our Spanish tyrants." "Yes." cried the young man, "I am a verit- able child of Naplœ; and I hte the Viceroy, and his people as much as y-ou can hate them. When it is necessary to fight them I sbaii not be the last to draw the sword out of the fteabteardr but I atoll never, under pretence of the public ills, attack innocent people, to take from them their eilvor and their gold." "Shoot him. Shoot him at once!" replied the old chief. The first bandit was silent; no voice wae raised in favour of the traveller. The womau alone regarded him with kindly curiosity. I but she dared not speak in the presence of these imperious masters. I only ask of you one favour," said the young man. It is only to let me see. before dying, the beautiful country which spreads out this side the rock; there. where the sun is emerging from behind those clouds, and itc golden rays diffuse their splendour. Let me contemplate this grandeur of Nature one last time." You may advance just to the edge of the rock, at this side," said the old chief. There arc no means of flight, and I advise you not to incline over the edge. 11 the ball which would reach you did not kill you immediately the fall which you would have could not fail to finish you, and it would eave us the trouble of doing it over." Very well," said the young man, I will profit by your recommendation." lie advanced to a little sheif of rock, which extended over the immense valley, where was displayed all the magnificence of the Italian situ. The first bandit, on seeing this oootneeci, turned his gun in his hand with a gesture of regret. Hia comrades were prepar- ing their guns to lire. "iieavens!" cried the young man, entranced with the tableau spread out under his eyes. "What juartellouc. richness! Has one ever seen a more surprising contrast. Here are all the rigours of nature, all its marvele, all its voluptuousness! One can die after having seen all that! I thank inee, my God, for this sublime spectacle!" The young man tank upon his kneee in an ecstacy of religious a-dmiration. "Stop!" said the old chief. "He says his prayers. Ioet us respect his devotions." The young man did not arise. "What litanies is he reciting then?" impa- tiently cried the old chief. ".1 shall go and tap him on the shoulder and tell him to finish his beads." He approached the young man, who, pencil in hand, was sketching the landscape which he found so beautiful, and from the mddst of thick brambles bringing out an abandoned hut perched on the slope of a hill. The old chief had no sooner cast his eyes on the work of the painter than he uttered a cry of surprise and satisfaction. "My house!" cried he; "my old house where I was born. Poor roof, devastated by the aoldiers-ruin which will soon be no more- there it is! Yes, by my faith, he has die-1 lodged it from among the rocks which eur- mounted it." "It must be a charming habitat-ion. said the painter, nonchalantly. Oh, if you had seen it!" continued the old man, how it bloomed in the bobom of rofee which blossomed around twice a year. The door which opened to the setting fun was embowered in honeysuckle. How smiling and beautiful it waF! My father lived there like a, king to the hour when. having missed paying one of thoese odious taxes which oppress the people, some Spanish and German eoldiers cia-me and pillaged all, destroyed all. My father died while defending himself, my mother died through grief, and I fled into the mountains. I have sworn a hatred to men. Since that time I have taken terrible revenges. I have hardened my heart. I have burned many houses. I have seen floods of blood flow. I have been avenged, but I cannot, find myself before this ruined home without feelings of sadness." The old chief, whose eyes were full of tears, t again fixed his regard on the work of the I artist. Great was his new astonishment! In place of the ruin, a beautiful oottage, whose door was wreathed with honeysuckles, and near which bloomed roeee, was growing undar the rapid penail of the filctiot-vrbile the old man gare himself up to his memories. "-Thai Jff rt»" sail he, via. effusion; Qat is really it and lie laid bi-, hand aJfec- tionateiy on the artist's shoulder. The rest of the baud, surprised by thie scene, came up to them; the artist received compliments un his talent. [ Is it not true," cried the young ma.n, fit;tiered by their words, "that Nature ÍI there, living, and that she comes and painta herself in my eyes as in a mirror ? Is it not true that I am not made to become a prelate, a cardinal, but that I have in me the genius of a grand artist? My parents sent me to the fathers of the congregation of Somasca. I do not complain of that. I learned to read the La t in poets there; but when the fathers wished to teach me—me, a poet-me. a. painter-me. a musician-the laws of their philosophy, I said adieu to their syllogisms, to their metaphysical disputes; I fled far from. them. I am eighteen years of age. My heart i8 full of enthusiasm and love; I prefer death. suddeu death, to a. life of weariness. I hawe traversed the mountains, to choose a summit from which I could throw myself some day, if fortune did not smile upon me. My family is poor; my father. Antonio Rosa, is an humble and laborious artist. If he had only per- mitted me to work at his side! But no, they wished to make a theologian of me. I would lather run over the mountains. I prefer to expose myself to the barrel of your gun." Young man." said the first brigand. "fear nothing more: we take you under our protec- tion. I have been a painter also; and, though you see the life that I am leading, though I have left my brushes to arm myself with Use carbinc, it is because I love the daughter of this old man. Look at this woman, whose features are as pure as the Madonna of Raphael. I love her with all the strength of my body! I became a brigand in order to possess her." "he is beautiful, in truth," said the young man. raising his eyes to the bandit's com- panion. "She would make a splendid por- trait. 1 offer it you for my ransom." The young woman's eyes sparkled, and the old chief smiled while regarding her. The only tender fibres left in his heart were the ones attaching him to his daughter, and to his old home. "I accept your proposition," said the brigand; "but it will not be a ransom. IE-hall cover your skctch with gold, as no doubt one day the lightest stroke of your pencil will be covered. I predict a brilliant iuture for you." The young man set to work immediately, and he produced, feature for feature, the superb creature who posed before him. All the baud were in ec.5tacies. "liere are two hundred ccus of gold," eaid t.he brigand, putting a purse into the artist'. hand, when the portrait was finished, "18 that enough?" "I should just think so," joyously exclaimed the young man; "the miserable dealers who bought my first sketches have not habituated me to this price. I have had to penetrate the- m,os,,L savage jilaces of the Abruzzes to receiw encouragement. And of whom? And how? I shall consecrate all my life to art. I will gire it. that which I owe to it. Art has been my saviour. a,nd henceforth I shall sign all my pictures with tbe name Salvator." "Very well said the brigand, while regard- ing the portrait of his beloved one, "and the ages will repeat the name of Salvator Koa^J," (The End.)

I MARK DIDN'T WAIT. An acquaintance of Mark Twain telle tJm following amusing story — "When I lived with my brother in Buffalo," he says. "Mark Twain occupied a cottage oa the opposite side of the street. We didn't see very much of him, but one morning as we were enjoying our cigars on the veranda after breakfast we raw him crime to his door in hit dressing-gown and slippers to look over at up. He stood at his door and smoked for a minute, as if making up his mind about something, and at last opened his gate and came lounging across the street. There wag an unoccupied rocking-chair on the veranda, and when my brother offered it to him he dropped into it with a sigh of relief. He smoked for a few momenta, and said;- 'iee morning.' Yes, very pleasant.' 'Shonldn t wonder if we had rain by-aad., bye.' "'M, ell, we could stand a. Little.' 'This is a nice house you have here.' we rather like it.' *How's your fainily. 'Quite well—and yourf ?* 'Oh, '\W're all very well.' "There was another impressive sileclee, andri finally Mark Twain crossed his legs, blew a. puff of smoke into the air, and in his lazy drawl remarked: I suppose you're a little surprised to see me over here so early. Pact is I haven't been so neighbourly perhaps as I ought to be. We must mend that state of things. But this morning I came over because I thought you might be interested in knowing that your roof is on fire. It struck me that it would be » good idea if-' But at the mention of fire the whole-. family ruwhed upstairs. When we had put the. fire out and returned to the veranda, we were hardly surprised to find thai tbe humourist badn't waited." Two smart young men were sitting opposite a Salvation Army lass in the Twopenny Tube, One of them leaned forward and remarked. Do you believe thsat tale about Jonah? The reply was in the affirmative. How can yon. prove it? Oh, I'll ask him when I get to heaven." But suppose he is not there? continued the smart young man. "Then yoa claln ask him."
