[By Special Arrangement—Copyright]…
[By Special Arrangement—Copyright] AN ART!ST'S RANSOM, By EM!LY S. WINDSOR. I "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 diviniti&e whom the poet JEschylus had celebrated. If ever leisure should be given to me to devote myself to one of those great works of the artist which pass his name down to pos- terity, this mountain should be my Caucasus. I would bring down the vulture which inces- santly gnawed the liver 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 hare euffered, advanced towards the traveller. "You are, then, unhappy?" s'aid he. "Will you be one of us?" 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 ber&elf that he had not met with any mishap. "I am not hurt. Marietta. It is a. boy, without arms. Some popil of the school of painting. Do you not see that end of a. pencil on the reek here," "No quarter," said an old man, who appeared to be chief of the band, and whose ferocious a&pect betokened a. life of brigand- age. "No quarter. These painters are often spies, who come to reproduce our faces to give them to the Government. They scatter our portraits in the towns ajid Tillages. It is at such a. pass now that we cannot go to church for fear of being recognised. I have had to miss Mass several times. No, no quarter." "But," replied the first fellow, "this one has the air of being disenchamted 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 jnst proposed to him to become one of us." "Thanks for your oner," 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 Naples, and that you are nying from the persecution of our Spanish tyrants." ,"Yes," cried the young man, "I am a verit- able child of Naples; tMid I hate the Viceroy and his people as much as you can hate them. When it is necessary to nght them I shall not be the last to draw the sword out of the scabbard: but I shall never, under pretence of the public ills, attack innocent people, to take .from them their silver and their goJd." "Shoot him. Shoot him at once!" rephed the old chief. The nrst bandit was silent; no voice was raised in favour of the tra-veller. The woman alone regarded him with kindly curiosity, but she dared not apeak in th<e presence of theaa 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 tJlis side the rock; there, where the sun is emerging from behind those clouds, and its golden rays diSuee 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 okd chief. There .are no means of night, and I advise you not to incline over the edge. If tbo 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 save us the trouble of doing it over." Very well," said the young ma<n, I will profit by your recommendation." He advanced to a. little shelf of rock, which extended over the immense vaJley, where wae displayed all the magnifiomoe of the Italian aun. The nrst bandit, on seeing this coolness, turned his grm in his hand with a gesture of regret. Ria comrades were prep&r- ing their guns to hre. "Hea-vens!" cried the young man, entranced with the tabLea-u spread out under his eyes. Wh<H marvellous richness! Has one ever s&en a more surprising contrast. Here are all the rigours of nature, all its marvels, all its voluptuousneas! One can die after having seen all that! I thank inee, my God, for this sublime spectacle!" The young man gank upon his knees in an ecstasy of religious adnupa.tion. "Stop:" said the old chief. "He says his prayers..Let us respect his devotions." The young man did not arise. "What lita,nies ie he reciting then?" impa- tiently cried the old chief. "I shall go and t'a.p him on the shoulder ajid tell him to finish his beads. He approarlbe-d the yomig nian, who, pencil in hajid, was sketching the landscape which he found so beautiful, and from the midst of thick brajnbles bringing out an a-bandoned hut perched on th'e slope of a hill. The old chief had no sooner cast hje eyes on the work of the painter thaji he uttered a cry of surprise amd sa-tisia-otion. "My house!' cn.ed he; "my o-ld house where I was born. Poor roof, devastated by the soldiere-rmin which will 800n be no more- there it ie! YM, by my faith, he ha.s dis- lodged it from among the rocks which sur- mounted it." "It must be a charming habitation," said the painter, nonchalantly. Oh, if you had seen it!" continued the old man, how it bloomed in the bosom of roees which blossomed around twice a yeu. The door which opened to the setting sun was embowered in honeysuckle. How smiling ajid beautiful it wa&! My father lived there like a king to the hour when, having missed paying one of those odious taxes which oppreas the people, eome Spanish and Germaji eoldieis oajne &nd pillaged all, destroyed &11. My fa.thM- died while defending himself, my mother died through grie<f, and I ned 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 buirned many houses. I have seen 1loods of blood flow. I have been avenged, bot I cannot nnd myself before this mined home without feelings of sadneas." The old chief, whose eyes were full of tears, again fixed his regard on the work of the .artist. Great was his new astonishment! In place of the rain, a beautiful oottage, whose door was wpMhthed with honeysuckles, ajid Qea.r which bloomed roaes, was growing mnder' the ra.ptMi pencil of th& GetlOt-wbik the old man Ba-re himself up to his naemories. Th" i,, iull se" h% wi,h str ozi0.- thAL í is really it"; a<nd he laid his ha-nd affec- tionately on the artist's shoulder. The reft of the band, surprised by tbM scene, came up to them; the artist received compliments on hL- ta-lent. Is it not true," cried the young man, flattered by their words. that Nature it 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 Soma.sca. I do not complain of that. I learned to read the Latin 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 a.m eighteen years of age. My heart it full of enthusiasm and love; I prefer de&th, sudden death, to a life of weariness. I have traversed the mountains, to choose a summit from which I could throw myself some day, if fortune did not smile upon me. My family it 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 rather run over the mountains. I prefer to expose myself to the barrel of your gun." Young man," said the nrst brigand, fea.r 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 dy brushes to arm myself with the carbine, 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." "Ehe is beautiful, in truth," said the young man, raising his eyes to the bandit's com- panion. "She would make a splendid por- trait. I offer it you for my ransom." The young woman's eyes sparkled, and the old chief smiled while regarding her. The only tender nbres left in his heart were the ones attaching him to his daughter, and to his old home. "I accept your proposition." sa-id the brigand; "but it will not be a ransom. I shall cover your sketch with gold, as no doubt one day the lightest stroke of your pencil will be covered. I predict a brilliant future for yon." The young ma.n set to work immediately, and he produced, feature for feature, the superb creature who posed before him. All the band were in ecetacies. "Here are two hundred ecus of gold," said the briga-nd, putting a purse into the artist'w hand, when the portrait was finished. "Li that enough?" "I should just think so," joyously exclaimed the young man; "the miserable dealers who bought my nrst. sketches have not habituated me to this price. 1 have harl to penetrate the most savage places of the Abruzzes to receive encouragement. And of whom? And how? I sh-all consecrate all my life to art, I will give it that which I owe to it. Art has been my saviour. and henceforth I shall sign all my pictures with the name Salvator." "Vefy well!" said the brigand, while regard- ing the portrait of his beloved one, "and the ages will repeat the name of Salrator Rosa. (The End.)

MARK DIDN'T WAIT. An acquaintance of Mark Twain tells the following amusing story:- "When I lived with my brother in BuSaJo." he says, "Mark Twain occupied a cottage on 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 saw him come to his door in his dressing-gown and slippers to look over at us. He stood at his door ajid smoked for a minute, as if making up his mind about something, and at la-at opened his gate and came lounging across the street-. There wae aji unoccupied rocking-chair on the veranda, ajmd when my brother oCered it to him he dropped into it with a eigh of rehef. He smoked for a few BMNnents, and said:- 'Yes, rery pleasant.' 'Shouldn't wonder if we had ram by-ajid. hye.' 'WeU, we could stand a littie.' 'This is a nice house you have here.' 'Yes, we rather like it.' "'How's your family?' 'Quite well-and yours?' 'Oh, we're all very w&ll.' "There was another impressive si]pnce, and SiL&lly Mark Twa.in croaeed his legoS. bi&w & puS- of smoke into the air, and in his lazy dra,wl remarked: 'I suppose you're a little surprised fr. gee me over here so ea.rly. Fact is I ha.ven't' been so neighbourly pe,r 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 nre. It struck me that it would be a good idea if——' "But at the mention of are the whole family rushed upstairs. When we had put tile, &re out and returned to the veranda, we were ha.rdly surprised to find that the humouft&t hadn't waited."
