An eminent American artist, who is now an old man, has never forgotten the les- son he learned from Sir Francis Leigh- ton in his yvouth. Leighton was then a brilliant and fascinating young painter, whose future was still_before him. He was at work upon an Italian landscape, or upon a picture with an Italian back- ground. In that background he was anxious to introduce an olive tree. He remembered a tree which he had seen in the south of Italy, and remembered it quite distinctly enough to reproduce it, but he was not content to trust his mem- ory. The American artist remembers how Leighton came into a cafe in Rome on his way to Southern Italy, making the | long journey from England for the ex- | press purpose of studying that olive tree and of taking home an exact sketch of it, and he remembers also how, four or five weeks later, the ardent young English- man, brilliant, enthusiastic, versatile, but with a capacity for taking pains, reap- peared with a wonderful sketch of the olive tree, upon which- he had spent days of unbroken observation and work. From this little incident the American student learned a lesson which he never forgot, and which went far to secure the suc- cess which came to him in later life. The tory illustrates the great quality which s behind all real success, alike for the man of genius and the man of talent.— From the Outlook.
