(By Special Arrange ment.-Copyright.) ART FOR ART'S SAKE ————— ————— i By MADGE S. SMITH. You are a quixotic fool, Catherine! I hare no patience with yon!" Catherine turned ever the much-darned stocking which she was mending before answering. And if I a.m. Uncle Henry, what is that to you?" She spoke calmly, but the gleam in her dark eye told that her patience also was coming to an end. Uncle Henry roee to end the conversation. Very well; I have no wish to influence you. I only ask you to consider that your time may be fully occupied with paying pupils, and to ask yourself whether a penniless girl such as you can afford to give mufic-leasons gratis. What is Hartland's lad to yon?" Uncle Henry left the room with dignity, and Catherine stirred the email fire into a fitful blaze, and held out her cold fingers to its warmth. She might have been remarkably pretty in a. quiet way, one would have said, had it not been for the hard lines that care had traced with remorseless hand on the eoft brows and chin. An obstinate little face it was. too, with strong will in the firm chin and wide mouth. Under a wave of chestnut hair, her dark eyes caught back the gleam of the fire. There was a touch of defiance in her attitude as she recklessly stirred the dying embers. Catherine Carlyon's life was not a gay one. i The joys of home-life, the love of a mother, had never been hers but for a few short years. She was still a- child when unkind fate sent her, an undowered orphan, to make the seventh and eldest of Uncle Henry's struggling family. Uncle Henry was very hard up. His wife, a fretful invalid, had greatly bewailed the extra care and expense of the motherless child. Catherine, a sensitive, highly-strung girl, had grown up under the impression that she was a burden and a nuisance to her harassed unole and aunt. Now, however, matters were altered. Catherine was a girl of ardently musical tempramen t; from her childhood, her hardly-begged music-lessons had been the solace of an uncongenial life; now that she was older, they proved no poor investment, The weekly sum whicj she earned by teach- ing music was very acceptable, and Uncle Henry prided himself on his foresight in indulging the girl's musical bent. That there were in her capacities for greater things, musical ability above the teaching of the common routine, was a point of view that never occurred to Uncle Henry. I A plain, ordinary little music-teacher, Catherine appealed to Uncle Henry and the world at targe. Few guessed that she had an end always in view, although at times sadly far off. A musical career! For this she was secretly saving the small allowance left from her weekly earnings, with this aim she practised long and assiduously in the cold, winter mornings. With this in mind, poor Catherine's too frequently recurring birthdays were a source of bitter annoyance to her, as each one found her further and further from her cherished aim. So Catherine knitted her brows, as she sat before the smouldering fire. "Ars longa, vita brevis! And I am three and twenty. I haven't it in me, I think; there is something wanting. But at lea £ t—at ieastr—I can do something—and this roy-if I am not vastly mistaken in him—will do great things,"—ehe eighed a littJe-" far greater than ever I oonid hops to achieve'" W-ibb- Carlyon?" The boyish voice roused her from her reverie. Come in, Bernard. I was emect- ing you. A tail lad of some sixteen or seventeen years entered with violin case in hand bow- ing his close-cropped, dark head under the gas-bracket. "You are too kind. Miss Carlyon. But for you, my music would have to go bv the board entirely. I can never repay you for this!" Eepay Catherine smiled. "It is pleasure in itself, my dear boy. And you know how you can more than repay me!" "How?" The large doggish eves looked questioningly into hers. "By doing me credit—doing yourself justice. Bernard, you will, you must make a great name for yourself." Bernard Hartland hung his head, blushing hotly, partly from nervousness, partly from the pleasure the words caused. "If only I could; but you see how things stand with me. My father wishes me to take my place in his office. I cannot run counter to his wishes. You see. he will not hear of a musical career for me; and then-he cannot afford. That's at the bottom of it, really1" "I know." Then what can I do ?" Bernard, do you love your mmlgio The boy blushed again. "Yes, indeed, Miss Carlyon!" "Better than yourself—better than anything you Possess-enough to give up ease and pleasure and wealth for it ?, I do," he replied, with lip quivering. And only the lack of money can keep you from it? Bernard, can you humble your pride for art's sake?" I don't understand." Don't refuse me. It would be the greatest pleasure of my life. You have great talent, Bernard. You know it, The boy gave mystified assent. "I thought I had once," Catherine con- tinued with an P-ffort. "I could not let it expand. I was tied for money-cramped by circumstances, as you are. And I, like you, thought to be able, when I was older, to give myseif the opportunity. But now that I might, I am no loug-er fit for it-I fed that it has gone from me!" "I'm sorry-I'm awfully sorry!" the boy stammered, puzzled. I wish I could help you, Miss Carlyon." You can! I have a little money--saved when I hoped to take my place myself. Bernard, let me help you-go and make a name for yourself in my stead." The boy's eyes gleamed tnrough a mist. You mean-" I mean that you are to go to London, have the teaching you need. I will pay. It must be done at all costs." "I can't! You are awfully good; but I can't be tOuch a cad for anything." "Not for your art?" There was a word of reproach in her voice. You will not humble your pride for your art's sake" The boy held out both hands. Yes." he said, I will do it. even tbat-for I your sake, Miss Cariyon! So they settled it. An interview with the boy's father had better results than either Catherine or her pupil had dared to hope for. The old man consented to bear half the lad's expenses, won over by her promise of the glorious future in store for him. Henceforth, the daily drudgery of Catherine Carlyon's life was to assume a new aspect. I am doing my part," she would think. I am making a master. I have not wasted my talent; I am enabling another to do what I couldn't do myself!" And Bernard's parting words rang in her ears: e?I will repay you! God helping me, I will do good work!" Five years later! A long time to think of, but it found little difference in Catherine. She sat as usual with her uncle and aunt in the bhabby parlour, little shabbier for the years that bad flown. My boy, my poor boy." Aunt Louisa rocked to and fro, incessantly repeating the weary formula. He is ruined, my poor Tom; We are helpless! We can do nothing!" The letter which Catherine returned silently to her aunt tpld its owu bitter tale. It came from scapegrace Tom. the apple of Uncle Henry's eye, and the clever boy of the family, now a clerk in a Liverpool hank. Send me the money, £ 100, by return, or it, is an up with me," he wrote piteonsty. "1 didxrt. steal it. I only borrowed, I I shoolti te -abbe, Tojp&M back-beta* it mm, miised. but, of course, nobody would believe me. You must get it from somewhere; Catherine haE eome money, get it from her." "Poor Tom!" said Aunt Louisa. It is his own fault," commented CaAherim^ severely gentle. 'I To-morrow will be too late. There is no chance for us! Cnless—" Aunt Louisa paused significantly. "Unless what?" Uncle Henry asked, sharply. "Y OU, Catherine, you have some money," the distreo;sed mother made her last plea; "I know you have; I saw your bank-book. You, can save my boy." Catherine gazed stonily at the fire. I cannot—I would gladly give it if I h&4 it, but-" You will not—oh! you must, you must, to save my boy. Catherine, you owe everything to us; it is your plain duty; I command you. I beg of you-" "I cannot; you are mistaken. I have no mane;)." It is a lie You had over £ 100!" I Calm yourself, my dear," Uncle Henry interposed, dignified as ever. Miss Carlyon refuses her aid; there is no more to be said." Catherine felt her cheeks crimson at the imputation- I haven't it. You know I would do any. thing to help you!" A torrent of hysterical abuse drove her from the room. Alone in her cwn room, thought was free. She was powerless to help the boy, whom, after all, scamp as he was, she loved as a I brother. She could not eat her cake and have it. Young Bernard Hartland's musical training had long since swallowed up the accumulated; savings of years. But there—it was gone; it was no use wishing it back. And I don't wish it back." she said. vehemently. She also had a letter from her boy, Bernard Hartland, unopened in her pocket. She drerw it out now as a solace. Little could the young musician guess what soiace and comfort his boyish letters brought tothe lonely teacher. "I don't care!" Catherine said. "Tom is a dolt; my boy is a credit bo me!" It was no exaggeration. In a few years training Bernard had indeed made rapid progress. His name was becoming well- known, and was a guarantee of large audiences when it appeared on oenceft bills. He was justifying her expectations; Catherine was more than contented with him. I I am playing in Liverpool this week," he wrote, then I am coining on to see you." Catherine started. Bernard was in Liver- pool then, where poor Tom was on the verge of disgrace and ruin. Again her pupil's words rang in her ears "I will repay yon!" There is time yet," said Catherine, after she had sat for some minutes in thought.; there is just, time. Bernard will do it for my sake:" Her face was very white, as she began to write to the boy. You promised once that you would repay me," she wrote; "if you can, will you do it now. I refused it before; now I beg it of you. She knew that he would do it. No shadow of doubt crossed her mind. Bernard was now in easy circumstances; he had indeed mentioned that he bad saved quite a nice sum for certain private purposes." His private purposes must wait." she said I grimly, and sealed the letter with determine tion. Now," said Catherine, a dull pain at her heart, "my boy will pay me back; I shall j have no more part in him. Well, I did what I was needed. I made him what he is; it is nothing but selfishness on my part to keep up the obligation. But oh! my dear boy! I never thought to ask for the money ba.ck1 God knows I gave it gladly." To scapegrace Tom she wrote a cart note. Go to Bernard Hartland, at St. George'»• hall. He will help you, for my sake/' Catherine was haggard when she joined the family, bet she smiled rather wearily u fibe kissed her aunt's tearful face. It is all right. Aunt." she said kindly. Tom shall Lave the money." The few -days, that followed were ones of sore trial to Tom's parents. Catherine waited with more equanimity. She knew of a certainty her protege would not fail her. When Tom's letter came, all doubts were set. at rest. Hartland is a brick," the lad wrote, he stumped up in a minute, and doesn't want it back. I am saved out of a nice bole, and. shall be more careful in future. Hartland seems awfully well-off, and he is younger than me. I wish I was one of those clever chaim. They have jolly easy times, and good pay* while a poor beggar like me- 1, Faugh. Catherine shook the letter angrily-" a graceless young cur!" I And Bernard was coming Well. it would be nice to eee the boy again, to see him grown, losing his boyish ways for manly ones, telling his tales of travel and experience, but alas! never to see him again with that glad feeling of proprietorship which she used to know. I daresay it is best." she told herself. "The boy felt the humiliation of it. How should one of the best musicians of the day like to feel under an obligation to a poor teacher? He will think kindly of me, I know," And day by day, Catherine felt the sunlight and joy fading from her quiet life. I had something to live for before," she said sadly, it was as if I had my own career in Bernard's; and now I have nothing; I have sold it!" She was sitting in the shabby parlour alone with her own sad thoughts. Bernard!" She had meant to greet him more calmly; less like a mother, welcoming her loved son; but he bad come on her so suddenly. I've been running like anything," said the boy; I came straight from the station. I thought I'd catch you before you went to the organ recital. I couldn't wait till to- morrow. The recital! oh, no, I am not going. I had forgotten it, in fact." Forgotten! that's something fresh., isn't it? Well, I'm glad, anyway." "I want to thank yon, Bernard. I can never thank you enough-ior what you did for Tom-for me!" Bernard looked up suddenly. "Don't talk about that," he said, "it um nothing!" You are a kind boy, Bernard." I'm not a boy now, MlSfl Carlyon. Why an you so funny with mei You don't seem the same. somehow!" "In what way am I changed?- She knew she needed no answer. You-you don't seem as if you owed. Haven't I done my best? havent I fulfilled your expectations—as I promised I would You have, indeed, Bernard- And now you have paid me back, like an honourable man. in my hour of need." "Paid you back!" The lad started to Ma feet. Paid back. with a few paltry pounds, the loving kindness that has given me a career. I didn't think you looked at it in that light, Miss Carlyon!" I gave you the money freely for art's sake. It was well invested, as it proved." "And you don't care! You talk coldly about art; what did I care for art? You think me a bov. I am a man, I tell you—a man. All these years I have had one thing in my mind. to do you credit, to fulfil the hopes yon had in me. I have made it my aim to be able to aek yon to be my wife; and now yon don't want! I was saving for that, but I didn't, mind putting even that off to help you. and you don't care'" You talk like a boy, Bernard. When you are as old as IDe-" "A boy: must I be always a boy to you?
