It is & strange story, that of John Van- dorlyn's career. A boy in the street, with a bit of charcoal and romething akin to impudence he drew on a blickemith's door a carloature of a visitor to the wee village of Kingston. That visitor was Aaron Burr, and he saw tho piclure—saw it and smiled, and asked questions sbout ita perpotrator, When Aaron Burr went back to his law office In New York he took the Iad with him, He bought him books, directed his studies, and finally placed him as a pupil under Gilbert Stuart, who, in Philadelphia, was ficishing his famous portrait of Washington. Siudies in Paris and Romo followed. The charcoal sketcher of coun 'y town was develop- ing into & wonderful painter. Incompe- tition at Parie, where all the artists of KEurope were striving for honors, he places a cold, rough, harsh pleture—cold, rough, and harsh at least in contrast with the gaudy colorings which all the rest of the world hangs up. * Marlus on the Ruins of Carthage” he called it. The old Roman hero was represented atard- iog alone, sorrowful, yet defiant, amid the wreck of fcrmer glory. Napoleon marched through the great art gallery. When he faced the picture he halted, came to a dead atandstill, and In admira- tion was mute for minutes. ‘“‘Give the Hops on the white labsl, _Shun all_the vile, poisonous, stuff with “Hop" or *Hops” in OSLELTERS Hostettor's Stom- noh Bitters is thoar. ticle £r you,itstimu lates the failing cn. erulos, invig rat 8 the body and che' ra the mind.

And ell the fates rushed forward to make him glad. Aaron Burr was proud. He was grate- ful, too, for fortune had desl: unkindly with him meantime. He had striven for the presldency of his country and bai lost. The murder of Hamilton made him an exile. Generous interest it was t a: he received upon the money he had given Vanderlyn, who wes now a hero in Europe's aristocratic circles, The artist shared all his honors and all hiygold with his old-time benefactor, the man who had become to one hemisphere the very personification of evil, and yet who in earlier days, with no selfish aim or hope, had taken from humble place a strange lad to spend money and affoction upon. Biographical dictiona-ies and art his- tories tell about Vanderlyn's p ofessional achievements. 1 ca‘eno hing about them hers, His ‘‘Ariadne” is famous the wo 1d over. His panclin the national capit 1 of ““The Landing of C:lumbus" was done in answer to his country’s u-gent request. All this everybody knows, 1 have learned som: thing wide y ditferent, something far more interesting, for as the world wags love far outst.ips profes- sional achievement. John Vauderlyn never married, Why, has never been told in print. The fes relat ves who sur- vive—descendants of a brother—talk sometimes of aromance in his strange catcer. One of them has gossiped 1o me, and I have listened with a deep in- tere:t. John Vanderlyn loved Theodosia Burr, Aaron Bu'r's only child, and 1 heo dosia Burr loved John Vanderlyn. Reared at susceptible ages in the same house, love was ne% unna ural in a brotherly and sisterly fashion; o far the great politician was pleased, A letter %‘mu Paris 1hat fe 1 into his hands through the confidence of his beautiful daughter showrd him that the young artist was dividing his time between sights in the Louvre and thoughts in New York, In this letter John Vanderlyn poured out the story of his strong affection and asked the girl to promise that some day, when place and forture should be won, she should be his wife. Aaron Burr firet smiled, then scoffed, and finally, in anger, issued ordere. Theodoela obeyed. A dutiful girl she was, for in dcing her father's will she did it knowing that there was more than a light reason_for the mement on'y in his direction. He told her plainly of other plaus arranged for her; plans which eac- rificed all of her own future to that (f the parent whom she worshipped. Poli- tics were at the bottom. This was be fore the istoric contest in congress w th Jelforson for the presidency. Aaron Burr needed f isndr, close and irfluen- tial, Trrough the gift ot a daughter's hand he would win what strategy might otherwise t:ke from him.

There wis willlngness with the lover, more willingnees than perception. A sllghting word was spoken cf John Vanderlyn—*'a pauper’ was the phrase the courting lover -used. He used it but once. Ths blond cf Aaron Burr mounted to the cheek of the davghter, and with an air that was bitter a8 bitter might be she dismissed him. A scene between father and daughter, a etorm with all the flaming pyrotechnics that the Baurr spirit could muster, cams quickly. A lieatenant of the dis:arded lover's family showed speedy res:ntment of the slight Even had the spiri‘ed girl relented, it had been too late. Cooling love had given way to warfare. Aaron Burr smiled another of his biting smiles, and from upbraiding came to flattery for the honest part she had played. But no word would he hear of Vanderlyn as a suitor, The palnoter, still working hard, not yet recognized, had heard from his sweetheart's pen the story of a father's interference and the motive for it, and he had heard, too, that above all things on earth she treasured the pennileis painter's love, There was a sharp letter that came from Paris to Burr; but the ccol-headed politician eessyed no answer, The next letter that Jobn Vanderlyn had from the Burr household was brief and free from apy ardor, It was bat a formal announcement of the betrothsl of Theodosia Bare to the brilliant young southerner Alston. To secure her father Carolinian irfluence she wedded, He was au honorable man, this busband to whom she gave her band; perbaps ero the searioted and swallowed them both up together she learned to love him, He was worthy of Ler affection; to him there was no knowledge that & wife came in barter and by sale; he never suspected that it was for yotes to aggrandize Aaron Bure that Aaron Burr's daughter said him yea when be ssked ber to his home Arnd there was no further knowledge given to Vanderlyn either. Theodosia Burr wae too loyal to herse'f to declare a love that was wrong in the woild’s rating. So cime Vanderlyn fell iato eyni it that he chose to believe ere ling that the hand had gone where the hesrt bad led; snd Aaron Barr When Burr, sccussd of high treason, needed a friend and p@tctor, hs strefched out his whole fortune ss a fres- will (fforing. He won fame and lived in all the glory of it for years, taging to forget what richer thiog hs had hoped for aod lost. Glying no tavught for to mor- row, he drified on, palnting now and thep, as 1he whim dictated or his purse demanded. And when the end came it found him penniless, friendless, forlorn When in the mean room of a hotel in his native town they found him one morning thirty years ago, olutched by death, there were whispors that by his own will had the period been put upon his career. And now out in the bleak cometery on Wiltwyck heights a little unmarked mound, overgeown by briers, faces us ay the world'stiidbute to a man whese genius would have dezzled mankind had rot the stadow of a hopeless love fell upon it. When the story of John Vanderlyn's life {s fally told American history will have been strongthened, Had he never loved, Aarcn Burr might have been president.
