SOPHIA PAULAVIA BAZARDY.

♦ ■■■ — (Continued.) "And his daughter is an artist? What does she paint?" "Oh, anysing you waesh. She paint you a miniature on bivory. She mek you a beeg hoil painting. She tek you a leetel photograph, and draw you from it a picture m crayon any size you like. Hall kinds of hart." ' 'Ah, yes. I see. You pays your money, and you takes your choice?" "Yes," assented the exterminator, gravely; "that is it exactly." And whatever interest he had aroused m me concerning my future neighboi •vaporated on the spot. , CHAPTER EX THE NIHILIST. A fortnight later found me established, with my household gods and painting tools around me, at Monsieur Musella's, and on the best of terms with my land lord, who, by the way, had turned out to be a perfectly ordinary, good natured and simple minded French bourgeois, with no other noticeable idiosyncrasy than that childish vanity which impelled him to make a guy of himself m out ward appearance, but which manifested itself m nothing else. On the day when I took possession, and while I was busy unpacking and putting things m order, the old gentleman came to pay me a little visit. "Well, it go aw right?" he began Toy inqtiiring. "Yes, thank you; it seems to go pret ty well," was my reply. After which for a little neither of us spoke. I ..continued my labor. He stood still just within my threshold, and beamed upon me with a benign though rather vague and irrelevant smile. By and by: "There is nioch curiosity about you opstairs," he announced, mak- ! ing hia tone and his physiognomy con fidential, and pointing with a bejewelled finger to the ceiling. "Indeed? What do they want to know?" I questioned. "Well, she 'aye hask me, I guess, meb be twenty-five questions, all about you. Your name, 'ow hold are you, 'ow you look, were you come from, who is your family, wat you pent — everysing." "And you, what have you told her?" "Eh, wat do I know to tell? I tell her your name is Mr. Eliot, and you 'aye the air to hs mebbe 20 years hold, good enough looking young feller for the rest, and you come from Paris, were you 'aye made your etodies, and you got a brozer in-law rich benker, whose name is Mees tair Morguean. That is all I can tell her, because that is all I know." "I'm sure I feel greatly flattered by her interest m me," I said. "Yes, it is real nice," Muselle agreed. "The ole man, her fazair," he went on, after a moment's pause, "hei3 afonny 010 feller. „'E die of cawnsomption, you know." "So you told me the other day. Do they think it's funny?" "Ah, that is not wat I have meant. I mean he is fonny m uzzair ways." "Aha! For example?" "Well, for example. Well, 'c is a— ■well, 'c is wat you call m Eenglis lib eral." "Liberal, is he? Then he is rich?" "Oh, no; you do not understand. I mean m the politic. 'E is liberal, radi cal, communist. In Rossia 'c 'aye been m prison five, six — I do' know 'ow many years — for a revolutionist." "Really! A live Nihilist! But— but I thought you said he was Hungarian." J i "The name Eczardy is 'Ungarian; yes, ] you right. Bot the ole fellqr, 'c is Ros- ■ sian. His family 'aye reside m Rossia since two hawndred year. Jus' like mebbe you know Eenglis man named Beauchamp, or uzzair French name, yet 'c is Eenglia all the same. 'E is Rossian gentleman wiz 'Ungarian name, that's all. Well, as I tell you, 'c is a revolu tionist; and he get found hout m a plot; and they arrest him and lock him op for five or six years m solitar' confinement, all alone, waiting till they try him, and zen they tek him before the magistrate, Gen. Ogaref , who decide he is guilty and condemn him to Siberia for life. Bot he escape from Siberia and come to this cawntiy, were 'c die. You see, he catch ' the cawnsomption wile he is lock op m prison five, six years. Two years al ready 'c has leeve here m my 'ouse, dy ing aw the time." i "He must be a remarkable man. Is he meetable? I should like to know him." "If you 'aye come two, free weeks be fore, yes, you can meet him. Bot since two, free weeks 'c is moch worse than he 'aye been formerly, and 'c see no one excep' the doctor." After a little pause he added blithely, "He never be better ( again, I guess." "It's rather sad for his daughter," I suggested. "Yes, you right; hit is. She 'aye to work to gain their life, and at the same time she must be his norse. Yes, it is hard for her, no mistek. She get tired hout." "Is her only means of livelihood her painting?" "Yes, that's aw. She mek beeg crayon , drawings for photographers, and she pent miniatures and hoil paintings. I get her to pent a miniature of myself on hivory. She pent beautiful, no us© talk ing. Wat you think of this?" He unbuttoned his coat and extracted from its inner pocket an oval case m red morocco. Opening it he submitted for my inspection the miniature m question. "Eh, wat you think of that?" he re peated. I was surprised to find that it was an exceedingly clever piece of painting. In stead of the conventional product of the miniature maker that I had expected I beheld the handiwork oT*an able and painstaking artist. Well drawn, well modeled, well handled m respect of color, it presented the exterminator to the life. His wig, his powder, his rouge, his jewelry, his foppish costume, and be hind them all, like a skull behind a mask, his genuine old age, were reflected as truthfully and as pitilessly as m a looking glass. It was justice untem pered by mercy, and it was extremely good. "Why, this is capital!" I exclaimed. "She has real talent. What a shame that she should waste herself on minia tures and working for photographers I" [ "Yes, it is beautiful: it is very fina." (TO BE CONTINUED )
