"I understand that your Tollensa Port,'" said the critic, "brought 200,-000 200,-000 francs at the Salle Drouot, though you had great difficulty, some years back, in gettlug 1.000 francs for it. Is the story true?" "Quite true," Mr. Jones answered. "Well, I'll be hanged!" The critic looked at the painter almost In awe. "To think of it! A painting that I goes up In a few years from 1,000 I francs to 200,000! How does such a triumph make you feel?" Mr. Jones gave a short laugh. "Grand," he said "like the horse that wins the derby."
