She hap-' pened to know the woman where, tho •young girl ’in search of a situation,wai boarding,' and called ’ on hoc .with a vaguo hope sho might know .some one with a Romamcaput.; , ' The'’ boarding-ho'usolkeoper w'^s not familiar with the type-required, but sho ^remembered ‘that th“e_"girl"whS‘ had'Chd-.’ fldudin her-was peculiar looking, with a copper bronze skin and midnight hair, - sh ort •sind'toiisl'y, and sh e -a f'o n co sent fo r her., . • T h o artist looked her over, asked her • to turn her head this w ay and then that. “ I th ink you w ill d o,” She Baid, with a’.Satisfled air, "b u t I want you at.on ce. T h e class is.w aitlng.” • ”“ I w ill g o ,” said the girl, promptly, .rind soon tpo two, were on their way to the studio. i.. . “ Have yon evdr had experience as a mpdel?” asked the artist. " N o s a i d - t h e girl, beginning to walk ■slower. "W h a t am 'I t o do?” ‘ "W ear afcold gown, turn your head in a certain position and koep it in that pose n n til we aro done, w ith y ou .” " I s 't h a t all? 1 can d'o that easily enough,” answered the girl, with a -ilue Roman scorn. Rut it.w as not as easy as sho assumed it to bo. When she- was clad roi/gh ly in a ragged dress, her head w a s nearly- tw isted off its base by the artist, •who j finally .sottled- it in a m ost ummm fortqblo ; side turn. Then she to o k /n o measure-. | monts. Tim model wijjrted to see the class, bu t dared not/dfsturb tho R om an '1 pose, which was tnat o f a profile nil- < houetted aga'nst the wall. She.listened . to the pupils talking about her w ith tho : -teacher,.as if she had heed a b lock o f ! wood, instead of .v liv in g woman, and her ears burned with im lignat’ oti, bm 'j .she thought o f the m oney she was earn- j in g and maintained h e r pose'. A t the' (' end of an hour she was glad to rest. ’ B u t tho five mliurtos'cauio to an end too . soon. ’ , . • , ■ j T h e next hour was move ‘ uneonifort- < . able Chaii the’ first, an.il the th ir d . was i almost unbearable. When tho clock ■struck twelve she sprang to her feet. • The artists were surprised. Th ey pleaded for another five minutes. "N o t a minute","'said the tired model,’ "t h a t is not in the bargain.” "W ill you bo sure to return at ono o’clook?” -. - r “I will not fail,"-sho answered, think­ ing to herself that it meant more’ to her 1 than it did to them. X At Ono sho resumed her poso and kept it for three hoprs, with tho hourly rest of five minutes. -At four she was. re­ leased for that day, and the sumof three dollars was laid in her small brovvn palm. Her eyes twinkled. • . . \ “ What will jrori do with it?" asked tho tcachcri laugbipgly.

BlMtsted. What does tho Russian Government hope or expect to accomplish by’ "black­ ing out” articles tbgt aim simply to tell tho truth with regard to Itussiim affairs and-bf throwing into prison every man in ri&oso possession such articles may bo found? . - Tho Russian author Prugavln, in a book that was inadvertently sahotiohed by tho press censor, but tboi-was after­ wards seized and burned, asks this sams question, and says: "Can an idea bo choked to death? Can thought bo killed, buried or annihilated? _ Aro not truth and Iovo and justice and' freedom immortal?- It is tho most terrible of mistakes to suppose that ideas can over be crushed. People have perished—-mon have died in chains andcasemates, £hclr bodies havo decayed, their graves have been lost,, and thoir very names have been forgotten i .but their Ideas and aspirations livo on. Washed .in the' blood of suffering, such’ ideas and aspir­ ations have become the dream of every man in whoso brain a thought stirs and in whoso breast a heart beats." Tho press censor, when he burned Prugavin’s book, thought that ho had destroyed for over Its .“ pernicious” in- flqenco; but the “ ideas arid aspirations” of the gifted author "live onj" and his ■words, although burned, by order of the Government ^in, Russia, will appeal to hundreds of thousands of sympathetic hearts in England and the United States* . Some time In the far-distant future the free Russian patriot, no longer blinded by the censorship of tho press, will look over the pages of his national history that record these attempts to gag public opinion and strangle blfman thought, and will wish'from the bottom of hi* heart that so humiliating and shameful a record might be "blacked ogL’WGfeorgb Kennari, in Century IN WOMAN’S-BEHALF.
