Freedom at md. His comfortable
chambers. that early In the evening he had re
garded as his permanent abiding place. now
seemed the unsuhstantial fabric Of a vision; the
breath OF Hymen. and they were gone
Then came secOnd thoughts Had he really
done for himself? Christine was charming. she
had distinctive ways Of her own, but she was
none the less charming. She would, he consd-
cred do him credit. The money did no, happen
to matter much In his case. but ho remembered
vaguely that there money What seemed
much more important was that she looked very
pretty when she cried. A few hours before he
had never dreamed Of marrying certainly not
marrying q girl like Christine. AS II was. he
had proposed to her for reasons that he was
totally unable to analyze and he mus, 70 Of
with II.
Half an hours further reflection having still
shown him that he must go on with II. he I'm
ished his drink switched of the light and went
TO bed. and the next morning. having dressed
himself with great care, and grumbled profusey
at his very excellent valet. he called on Miss
Blake In Bryanston Square. Now Miss Blake
was the sister Of Chrstne's father, Colonel
Blake and Chrstine's guardian.
The engagement TO be short The drudS-
cry OF IT began at once. He had to go to many
places where nc had never been before and did
not want to go again He waited, perfectly
ghastly figure in the shops OF fashionable mil
liners. feeling that every lady customer who
entered regarded him an insult and out
rage. He had to sit through concerts they were
very good concerts, and n very good concert
was, from the Majors point OF view. the very
worst sor. OF concert. An ordinary tune as ne

and In the small hours Of the morning when
respectable. middle aged gentlemen should be In
their beds. 1t was all very trying. but gradually

Christine pointed out that II wasn't the same
thing at all
NO." he answered u suppose not"
In matters OF art his education had been
some what neglected
But" he went on. u have really seen some
photographs which liked better than the things
which had been colored by hand"
She laughed at him. and instructed him

But he paints 80 beautifully" said Christine
there is no one at all like him"
That rs just IT," said the Major: N you were
not very pretty II might he just as well to go
to clever chap who could put II on q bit for
you. but a. 1t is. why any one Of them who I'M
derstood the rudments OF his trade couldn't go
wrong"
However, Christine had her way
The Majors conception of artists derived
chiefly from stage plays was that they wore
velvctcen coats and long hair. and led improper
lives. Dclmay. II is hardly necessary to add,
had never worn "a vevcteen coat In his life was
a. well dressed ar the immaculate Major him
self and differed from him chiefly in the fact
that he possessed far fewer scruples and much
more intelligence.
Miss Flake was patient woman, but she got
weary OF continual attendance at Delmay's
studio. After repeated sIttings he still seemed
to be progressing very slowly; she didn't like to
tell him to hurry, especially as he was always
perfectly charming to her. but she asked him
to dinner with a vague idea that serse OF the
social obligation might lead him to shorten
those sittngs AS far as possible. The Major
suggested that he should see the portrait, but
Christine thought that II would be better for
him to walt until II was finished II was nearly

would not allow him to go on with II any furth.,
and that he would have TO begin all over again
Once or twice. as Miss Blake sat in the studio

that It was very boring. Christine said she "a.

He read this through twice. Then he recalled
that scene in .he garden where the proposal had
been made. and he remembered from whom
practically the proposal had come And then
though he was sore at heart, he grinned sardonL

A NATTER OF TEMPERAMENT

Major owen passed almost with look OF re-
lief down the steps from the crowded recep-
tion-rooms into the garden. He was not
musician, and, although all that was best and
most unpronounceable the London concert
stage at present performing In her lady
ships drawing room. the only comment he
could find to make to Philip Rutherford was
that there was too much Of this beasty
fddlng"
Then he had left Philip Rutherford. and an
nexed Miss Phoebe Horton (much the prettiest
Of the three Miss Hortons), and now passed into
the garden looking as who passed out OF
the valley OF the shadow. Chinese lanterns
twnkled everywhere. The garden was no will
dcrncss. London gardens are not big enough for
that-and at the moment parts OF ii were dense
ly populated, but the Major and his companion
passed through the groups near the house into
the comparative solitude beyond. There. as it
was necessary to say something to Phoebe. he
said that he didn't care FOR the violin. He was
a man OF few ideas when he had got he
never made the mistake Of expressing it in the
same way to a woman az to a man. In gen
eral condemnation OF the violin Phoebe sup
ported him enthusiastically and the walk in the
garden would not have taken more than three
minutes fifteen seconds by n respectable chro-
nometer And that all there was agains,
the Major absolutely nothing else. H. re-
turned Miss Phoebe Horton to Philip Rutherford
In excellent condition. and sought out Christine
He found her. and he judged by appearances
that there was a storm gathering Unqueston-
ably the best thing to do with gathering storm
Is to take II into supper. BY the time II has
finished It's supper it has probably forgotten
the cause OF its storminess. and holy calm
follows.
So the Major who. tn pugh ne had few ideas
was not an impractical man. suggested that he
should take Christine In to supper
NO thank you" said Christine. ~ don't
want any supper"
We'll" the Major said vaguely. zone must DO
something.
IT don't want to do anything" said Christine
We'll" the Major said again. ITS very not In
here and this music doesn't much appeal TO me
you know VIII you come out into the garden
Christine got up. sighed. and said that she
only came because she was tired OF saying mo"
10 everything.

Then he observed that things were growing

She began to cry.

THE IRON a ACTIVE.

According to the Pittsburgh News
manufacturers of iron, steel and au1ili-
AIRY products report O Strengthening
Of the market in. their lines since the war
policy OF the government has became
known. Trade had become. dormant
during the scare that preceded the de-
c~laration of war, and at once revived af-
ter 1t. Buyers are eagerly placing or
ders for furnace products. and In almost
every case the order Is for immediate
shipment. Manufacturers are refusing
orders for long time future deliveries.
Plates have advanced 81 per ton and
cannot be had for Immediate shipment.
All orders booked bysPittsburgh manu-
fucturers in the past week have been
urgent ones.
The tin and sheet bar mills are behind
in their orders, the majority Of which
have been received within the week. An
advance has been made IT. the price OF
black sheets, with no diminutior Of the
demand. Sheared plates also have adj
yanced. This, however, Is not ascribcd
to war orders, as the bulk Of the govern
jment work had been placed several
weeks since. 1t is more in the nature
Of n sympathy advance. Structural
steel has felt the better condition OF the
market and Inquiries are coming In
plen.Ifully..
Pipes and tubes have possibly derived
the most ber:efit from the increased de-
mand, prices making an unprecedented
jump, and the demand being urgent in
all instances.
