Mr. Barnickel's Portrait
[OrUtnal-1
?When Mr. Barnickei gdt rich the
first thing lie wanted was a crest,
which he found, though his title to It
wm rather thin, uti'l ilie next was bis
portrait to hang In his drawing room
and to hand down to his descendants
as the lineaments of the relnstltutor of
the family. Arnold -fclllott was at that
time the principal portrait painter in
the city where Mr. Barulckel lived,
anil to him. Mr. Barnickei save the or
der. agreeing to pay for The portrait
$500.
Now. although Mr. Rarnickel hart
dealt In hides, an article not calculated
to stimulate the Imaginative faculty,
his Imagination was strong. The mo
ment he set himself up as a relnstltu
tor of his family he saw himself a fltw
looking. dignified geutleman of aristo
cratic mien and benevolent counte
nance. In truth, he wns a crafty look

He saw the picture of himself grow
ing up lu the hands of the artist as lie
was and not as he thought himself.
He made several protests, but when
he attempted to point out the errors
he signally f. tiled. He could not give
the artist hu conception of himself,
and the artist had no choice but to
paint him as Mr. Bartilckel. When the
portrait was finished, there sat the
merchant looking for all the world as
If he were buying a cargo m hides.
When Mr. Barnickei saw the portrait
he refused to accept it on the ground
that his best friend wouldn't take It
(or him.
As soon as Mr. Elliott got a little
gparo time he hooked Mr. Barnlckel's
portrait up against the wall of lil.c
studio, covered It with a sheet ot
drawing paper and rm the paper
sketched prison bars. This done, he
cut out the paper betwccu the bars,
leaving Mr Rarnickel In limbo. Un
derneath he placed the title of the pic
ture, "A Prisoner For Debt."
It was not long before one who knew
Mr. Barnickei well saw him behind
bars. Had he loved Mr. Barnickei lit
would have gone to him at once wlt?
the information. But be didn't lovt
Mr. Barnickei? few people did? so he
went about telling those who knew the
hide dealer of the rare sight to be
seen, and Mr. Elliott's studio at once
became very popular. Indeed. I'rom
among those who visited It to ses "j*
Prisoner For Pi-bt" he secured a nnni
lier of orders.
The episode at la?c reached a mem
ber of the Barnickei family, and the
family head was Informed. The same
morning he drove up fo Mr. Eilioit'->
studio, alighted in a hurry, climbed the
stairs In anger and burst into the stu
dlo in u iiasslou. There bun? the pic
ture. and there sat the artist quiescent
at his easel.
"What do you mean by perpetrating
that outrage?" shouted Mr. Barnlcke".
pointing to the picture.
"What outrage?" asked the artist
without discontinuing his work.
"Putting my portrait behind bars."
"Tour portrait? Tlwt Isn't your por
trait. You satd yourself that uo o:..>
would recognize It."
The merchant saw that he could not
demand the riinoval of the objection
able features without eating his words.
He went out, slamming the door be
hind him. He had been triumphant in
too many deals to be beateu by a pic

pet round the "Imposition."
But before he found this way he
nearJ tliHi a new feature had been at
tcched to th? portrait. The artist tad
removed the bars and the title, replac
ing the latter with the words "You
Want Too Xn>-h."
The title fttt-?i the expression o"h the

the picture. The expression had U-i-n
changed, instead of Mr. Barnickei
beating down a seller. It was Mr. Bar
nickei Just having bought at his own
price. There was no title attached to
the picture. Instead a bit of cardboard
rested upon It ou which in big letters
was inscribed "Sold."
Mr. Barnickei saw the word and was
seized with a new anxiety. He, aud
only he. could not see Its double mean
log.
"There's your check. Send that daub
home,'' lie salt*.
'Tin sorry, Mr. Barnickei. Don't you

"That's bosh. No one would want

himself.
"I don't think the purchaser cares
much for It.", said Mr. Elliott coolly.
"You might get it at an advance on
the original price."
"How much Is the"? Mr. Barnickei
was about to say swindle, but feared
to make matters worse.
Mr. Elliott arose, went to the pic
ture and cut It-ln ribbons.
"The episode Is ended. Mr. Barnickei.
I have to thank you for many orders
secured through your portrait."
