terly regardless Of grace
was his attitude. His chin rested
heavily on the closed knuckles Of hif
left hand. His huge legs were crossed
In an unceremOniOus fashion. His
brow was clouded with heavy wrinkles
that bespoke thoughts Of an unquiet
nature.
Claude was an artist, in fair, almost
af1uent, circumstances. He may be
said to have been born with the pro-
verbal silver spoon in his mouth, fol
his parents were wealthy and he was
an only son, but, though the scion OF
a rich family, the young man had an
inherent spirit of independence which
urged him, after leaving college, to
adopt some profession as a means OF
earning his own living. His natural
talents leaned towards art, and after
taking some preliminary lessons in
drawing and painting, from a local
teacher, he betook himself abroad and
studied for several years in Paris, vi
emma and Florence.
He was an apt scholar and soon
made a name for himself in European
art circles as an adept with the pen
Gil and brush. Magazine publishers
sought his work eagerly, and his
~naiDtinrc hod q rroot Diamond on6 of
high prices. So when Claude returned
home to America in the SUMNER of
'92 his fame had already preceded him,
and society in New York prepared to
lioniZe, in becoming style, the young
artist of whom the European critics
had spoken so highly.
MIR. Remington would have been a
very popular young man had he al
lowed himself to become so, but fiat
terry and fawning were distasteful to
him, and when he found that the
fashionable sets in town were bent on
making a social lion of him, he imme-
diately sought retirement, and could
rarely be induced to leave his own
sumptuous apartments up town. Even
the most influential members Of soci-
ETY. failed to draw him from his seclu-

all invitations to dinners, receptions
and garden parties, until the higher
circles of society began to think them
selves snubbed and concluded that the
famous Mr.. Remington must be some
thing of a crank.
There were a chosen few of his init
mate friends, however, who knew the
cause of Claude's dislike for gaiety.
Rumors had been waited over the At
lantic which brought a whisper Of TO
nance in them-the romance of an
artists love for a beautiful American
girl whom he had met in one Of his
Alpine tours. The story took a vague
shape, in fact several shapes: one had
it that Claude was already married to
the fair unknown but for certain fam
lily reasons they would not live to-
gether for a year or so. Another rea-
son was that the girls parents were
opposed to her alliance with Claude,
but OF what account was not stated.
One thing, however, seemed certain,
and that was the young artist was
deeply in love, and his romantic
disposition was such that he silently
fretted over the absence of the OBJ.
