THE ARTISTS SECRET.

Miss Vane stood watching her pretty
ponies until they, with the phaeton,
turned the corner of the High street ;
then, with quick, vivaciOus step, she
ran up the Cathedral steps, and entered
the building by the half-open door.
Mrs. Champ, the vergers wife, met

presently gave place to look of con-
Germ, as she said ~ don't know how
you'll go on with your paintin' this
morning, Miss Vane, for that Mr.. Chip

Miss Vane walked to her accustomed
place in the aisle, drawing of her gloves,
and looked with amused curiosity for
'the rude man." Her step was light,
and the mason, intent upon his work,
took no notice of her. His back was to
her, and she saw only tall figure, in
white loose blouse, and heard him hum

paused in his work to say

some playthings 10 keep the young lady
out of mischief. -
Mother, indeed should be very
sorry to be your mother,young man, re-

camp-stool with thump.
