OUR S H. 0 R T S TOR Y THE ARTISTS STORY. tfJ: tell you, ladies," declared handsome and aynical Wilton Robeley, the artist, "afortune- tifeller showed me the image of my wife two your, before I ever saw her in the flesh and thousands of miles from the place I first met faw." "You are the last man in the world whose mind I wtodd think obscured by the clouds of mysticisgi," replied the rich Mrs. Austyn, his friend end patron. "You have never thowed any patience with the charlatans who jratend to ffpose and expound the secrete that wise ProvWence has ordained we should not fathom. Aad yet you are taxing our credu. Uty with a statement that would be marvel- lous, if true." "I must insist upon my veracity in this instance," smiled the artist. "Now, don't stop to argue, mamma," urged the elder of the Austyn girls. "There is a story in this, and after Mr. Robeley has told it you can reclaim him from the darkness of his superstitions and air your theories. Now, do tell us all about it," and three pretty sisters sighed t-l-eir curiosity in chorua. "Just bo, you don't ask me to explain," said the artist, with a quizzical look. "I shall give you the remarkable facts, and leave you to wrestle with them. Eight years ago I was in Paris, pursuing iny studies, and lived the life of a Bohemian from choice I rather than from necessity. We fellows held the responsibilities of life very lightly, and laughed at all human phenomena that would not yield to the test of materialism. I was chief among the scoffers, and found barefaced fraud in everything from clairvoyancy to the piercing of the future through the medium of tea grounds. "Then, as now, I occasionally broke away from my usual surroundings, and was one day sauntering alone through Rue de Bourges. As I passed one of the most pretentious houses I was startled by a scream for help, and dashed through the open doorway, to find a woman battling with flames that with great leaps and flashes were consuming the white draperies of what struck me as a consecrated altar out of place. Our combined efforts soon mastered the incipient conflagration. As the woman anointed my hands with some sooth. ing lotion I saw that she was as dark as a gipsy. Her hair rippled back from her fore- head in waves of blue black, her eyes were brilliant in the same deep colouring, and her strong, even teeth suggested polished ivory. She was an amazon in size, yet the sweeping curves of beauty were such as to fascinate the artist, while her motions were as supple and graceful as those of a tiger. "'You are a gentleman, and there ie but one way in which I can 01. ritiimp its your services,' she said as I turned to leave. Her voice was soft as the notes of a lute, and her accent gave unsuspected charms to my mother tongue. I waa born of Royal blood in India. Through study of the sacred Vedas and the pure doctrine of Karma, I attained the power of divination. Your people would class me among fortune-tellers, but I am poles apart from the vulgar humbugs that trade upon ignorance and superstition. Promise you will come to-morrow, for I am upset by the accident. Then I will be both your his- torian and your prophet. I shall count on you, m'seur.' "Though I mentally sneered at the woman's pretensions, and lay awake half the night assuring myself that I would never seek her out, I was at her door ten minutes before the appointed time next day. She had either assumed her professional air or was under the spell of her supernatural attainments. I will not describe the 'Inner Temple of Mysteries' to which she conducted me, but in the weird effect of. its hangings, mirrors, grotesque carving, and mythical symbols, it challenged tho most hardened scepticism. Throwing the white light of a golden lamp upon my face with a powerful reflector, she generalised upon my past life as any shrewd judge of human nature might do. Then suddenly knitting her brows and leaning closer, she slowly spelled out, 'Marcia Arnold.' "'That. is the name of the girl you will marry,' she announced in a dreamy voice, 'and there you see her." "With that the light faded to the dimness of deejp twilight, and there followed tht k# ness of a dungeon. Opposite me, as in life. was the image of the sweet and beautiful woman you know as Mrs. Robeley. Never before had I been dominated by the tender passion, but there, I was fathoms deep in love with what might have been an enchanting illusion or a superb painting. So deeply was I impressed that, after leaving in a bewilder- ment of doubt, I sketched the magni- ficent creature so indelibly impressed upon my memory. "Eighteen months later I was in Southern California enjoying the medicinal virtues of the climate and finding subjects in some of the delightful scenery. One morning I had my easel at the edge of a wooded precipice overlooking a charming spread of landscape. The velvet carpetiug of grass and moss had failed to warn me of approaching footsteps, and when I turned it was the startled move- ment caused by a half-suppressed scream. There were two ladies, the elder anxiously supporting the younger, whose face was blanched and whose eyes were fastened upon me as though I were a terrifying apparition. It was the girl the Indian sorceress had shown me in Paris, but what did she know of me? As she sank down under the weight of her emotions I hastened to a near-by spring for water, and when I returned her eyes were upon me in that same fixed ar d troubled look. 'What can be the matter, daughter? You I have always been so strong and so vigorous.' 'Is your name Henry Morton?' asked the younger of me, without heeding the mother's question. 'It is Wilton Robeley,' I responded quietly. At that instant it flashed upon me that in the desire to conceal my identity I had given the name of Henry Morton to the fortune-teller. Then, with the inspiration of an anxious lover, I added: 'But I have a cousin of that name who bears a striking resemblance to me.' "My immediate reward was a revival of strength and spirits on the part of the young lady. The mother introduced herself as Mrs. Gilsen, her daughter as Miss Gilsen, and then said: 'Lucy, we had best get back to the hotel.' 'Lucy Gilsen ?' and yet it was her pre- sence that had been conjured up as my bride to be. She was the girl of my sketch and my dreams. The next day I called at the hotel to inquire after her. I called often. We walked, drove, painted, and boated together. I came to know through the intui- tion of love that she was not indifferent to me. One evening, as we drifted lazily through the water HIiee. she handed me a sketch of myself, and asked, 'Is that a picture of Henry Morton ?' "'It's perfect,' I answered, though dumb- founded. A shadow of anger crossed her face, and she was about to tear the picture to pieces when I caught her hands and suddenly I showed the re-production of herself that I had made in Paris. It was her turn to be sur- prised, and when I told her of my experience at the fortune-teller's on Rue de Bourges, giving her the date, she quickly exclaimed: 'Why, I WM there with Marcia Arnold. Mamma and I did Europe that season, and we two ginis visited that Indian Princeea just for a lark. That was where I saw Henry Morton, whom, I was told, fate had decreed as my future husband.' "Before we rowed home, it was all ex- plained, and the sequel of our strange expe- rience was a happy marriage. The dusky prophetess who had confused the names of the two girls was a cultivated fraud. It was a trick of the mirrors, ladies."
