By Albert Payson Terhune No. 4—THE LIGHT THAT FAILED (Kipling). ICK HELDAR was a young English painter and illus trator. His boyhood’s loneliness had been lightened by his close frinedship with Maisie, a girl as lonely aa himself. In one of Great Britain's Eastern wars Dick won fame by his sketches of battle scenes and camp sidelights. He was fearless in pursuit of themes for his sketches, This fearlessness gained him a swordcut over the head in a skirmish which affected his powers of sight. Unaware that he had injured his sight, he returned to England, there to earn his livelihood painter, And there he met Maisie again, She too was an artist. Dick and Ma! saw much of each other in the months that followed. The man’s boyish fondness for the girl deepened into love, Ma’ became the one girl in the world for him, He told her of his love. She was very kind kind as @ woman can be when she wrecks a man's life hopes. But she explained, clearly and conclusively, to Heldar that she did not love him and that she was certain she never could learn to love him. Dick took his disappointment like a man. To case the pain of his heart- ache he plunged into the painting of a picture which was designed to be bis masterpiece. Failing in love, he sought consolation in his art, hoping to earn fame even if love were denied him. His roommate was a war correspondent named Torpenhow. The two rescued from dire poverty a girl who called her- Heldar Was self “Bessie Broke.” Dick made her his model for ‘ the picture he was painting, and she’ used to keep Rudely Jilted. their apartment in order and do odd housework tasks for the two men. Presently Bessie fell in love with Torpenhow, She flattered his yantly and almost won his affection when Dick interfered. Heldar explained to Torpenhow that such an affalr would injure the man’s prospects and would do him incalculable harm. Torpenhow saw the sense of his chum's words, To avoid further temptation he went away. Bessie knew Dick was responsible for her losing Torpenhow, and she vowed to be revenged upon him. Meantime, Heldar’s eyesight had begun to fail. Daily he was drawing nearer and nearer to blindness. He knew it. He knew there was no cure. So he worked the harder on his picture, striving to finish it before utter sightlessness should overtake him. It would be his last work—his one chance for fame. At last the picture was finished. With his last glimmer of eyesight Dick put the finishing touches upon it. In the blind- Nearly Sightless, ness that followed he was comforted a little by, A A the thought that his picture would live. Dick Continued Bessie knew his pride in the work, and she 7 resolved to strike him, through his pride. Une To Paint. known to him she destroyed the picture. Word of Heldar’s affliction reached Maisje, She hurried to him. Ba- gerly he bade her look at his wonderful picture. She looked—and saw it had been ruined. She would not tell him of its destruction, but praised enthusiastically the excellence of the work. Then, moved by pity, she felt love awake in her heart, and to the blind and helpless Heldar she gave the love she had refused him when he was still sound and well. (This is the version of “The Light That Failed” which was first pub- lished in America. Kipling wrote another version of it for English publish- ers, wherein Maisie decided it was only pity, and not love, which she felt for the strickeh man. Dick then made his way back to the East, where his country chanced to be at war, and was killed by a stray bullet just as he reached the firing line.)
