A PICTURE
FIND
By CORA HATHORNE SYKES
1 manifested a taste for art when I
was a little boy, taking more coiufort
In drawing pictures on my slnte than
doing Hums on It As I grew older 1
became ambitious to do something bet
ter, and naked my father to allow me
a few drawing lessons. He refused,
saying he would not encourage me In a
task that would wreck my future If I
gave way to It
When It became time for me to choose
an occupalton i wished to become an
artist, but my parents made such an
ado over the matter that I aliuudoned
the plan and accepted a clerkship in a
grocery house. But if 1 couldn't make
pictures 1 could at least look at pic
tures. And it so happeued that I lived
in a metropolis where the best works
of art are to be aeon. I road the art
Journals aud was ou the lookout for
any announcements of the changing
hands of the great pictures of the
world, eepeclaily thom? coming to Am
erica.
1 made no progress at business. All
I did In a business way bored me. It
was simple drudgery, and drudgery is
Incompatible with an artlatlc tempera
ment. Instead of doing my work I
sketched the office boys, the cat. any
thing that was sketclmble. After
awhile I wits Informed by niv employ
ers that they had no further neqjl for
my services.
My father, after n sceue. secured an
other place for me and on entering
upon It 1 promised to try to do better.
But my heart was not In my work, and
I have ho faith in |>eopte being able to
do continuously what they take no in
terest lu. If they succeed In doing It
they will not do It well. I believe that
persons only do well what they like
and are fitted to do; that eminently suc
cessful persons are successful In doing
that which other |>eople cannot do, or
do as well.
One day after getting away from the
work I hated after business houra I
was passing a building that wan being
torn down. A workman had taken a
roll of cant as from an old bricked up
chimney and was unrolling It. I
stopped and saw him reveal a dirty
painting. I stepped up to where be
stood and looked over his shoulder. I
was astonished to see n work which,
though dingy In the extreme, reminded
me of the work of one of the great
masters wh<> flourished In the latter
part of the fifteenth century. I looked
In the corner where the name ahonld
be. but the dirt was too thick; no
name was risible.
"What will you take for your find?"
I asked the workman.
"Oh, I don't suppose It la worth
anything." be aaid. "Any loose change
you bare in your pocket"
"I'm as poor as you are." 1 said, "but
I know some picture dealers, and If
you will let me have thla one I will
see what 1 can sell It for and divide
with you." The man looked me In tbe
face, handed me the painting and re
turned to work.
"Give me your address." I said.
He did ao, and I went away with his
And Instead of taking It directly to
picture dealers 1 carried It to my room,
nnd sluing down before It. looked at It
a long while. The more I studied It
the more 1 was Impressed with Ita re
semblance to the works of the artist
I have referred to. The same evening
I went to a library where engraving*
of many picture* of the old master*
were kept in portfolios and familiar
lied myself anew with the style of
thla particular artlet. The more I look
ed at his plcturea the more I believed
that the And was by blm. Could It be
possible that it had been stolen?
I Bet the librarian to bunting for a
book on atolen picture*, but though be
waa successful In finding such a book.
It contained no reference to the la
borer's And. 1 wished to clean the pic
ture, but did not know how to do ao
and was afraid to leave It with anv
picture dealer for the pur|K*e l(*t the
name he uncovered, and If it were a* 1
suspected, the painting's value would
be discovered nnd I be beaten out of It.
One da.v I told my father that I had
left the place he had secured for me
and had gone to work tn a picture and
frame shop. He was In despair about
me. and this more capped the climax.
In the shop where I worked I learn
ed to clean pictures. As soon as I be
came sufficiently expert to clean a pic
ture I took the materials for doing ao
to my home and got the dirt off tbe
corner where the name of tbe artist la
usually placed. What was my delight
to see the name of the artist who 1
believed had done the work.
Believing the picture to hare been
stolen I consulted nn expert dealer,
asking him IT he could And a record of
one of the artist's pictures having been
stolen. He found a book in which tbe
artist had been written up with other
palntera and a statement that In the
early part of the nineteenth century
one of his paintings belonging to a
nobleman In England bad beeD cut
from its frame and taken away.
I succeeded In time In opening a cor
respondence with the descendants of
the owner and sent them a photograph
of the painting.
This was before enormous prices
were paid for certain paintings, but
my correspondenta agreed that If the
painting was the one they had lost
they would pay me $20,000 for It It
turned out to be tbe Identical picture,
and I pocketed $10,000, giving tta
flnder an equal amount

Trade At Home
IT is a hard thing to'convince lorrtf people, who have acquired the
^ mail order habit that it is to their advantage to trade at home The
green field* far away appeal to them, ao they aend their money out of
town for aoirethmg that ia no better than can be found on the local
merchant'* shelves. The money is thua gone where they. i? *r any one
of the community, will ever aee it again, and where it can ? ? nobody
good but the person who haa it and he is hundreds or thotnands of
milea away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offender? who are blind to the interests ofthe commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against'mail order business.
