"You sit STILL" said Trask. taking up
bis pencil, 'just as you are. Don't
move or breathe for Is minutes, and
III have You this time"
The little Quakeress froze to a statue
while Trask worked away as IL for his
life. He had shifted his position so
that he faced the two girls. Lucy Ann
was looking away from him, but IL
seemed to me that Miss Jones was
studying him closely every moment
and not for the sake Of art.
Somehow she seemed to me then q
higher type Of woman. There was an
earnestness In her face that had not
seen before. and 1t became her. Be-
yond question she was the most beau.
tiful creature that had ever beheld,
and the idea that Trask could pay his
court to her for any other cause than
her own obvious attractions fell away
from my mind. The thing simply
would not permit itself to be thought
Of In her presence.
Trask finished his sketch with en-
thusiasm. and Miss Jones and were
permitted to see 1t as he was adding
the last strokes. II was a remarkable
study, very pleasing 10 the eye, but not
q portrait. Miss Jones viewed It and
expressed her appreciation in technical
terms. And last Of all il was exhibit.
ed TO Lucy Ann, who seemed TO be
startled by this delicious fiattery. She
glanced quickly at Trask and her
cheeks flushed.
at doesn't look like me-" she said.
II wish 1t did"
Trask took the sheet into his hands
and slowly tore II into strips while
Lucy Ann gazed up at him in a way
which, / grieve to say. reminded me
slightly Of q hungry little dog watching
bis master eat up the last scrap Of the
dinner.
'"The thing was q total failure" he
said. Il don't know why. II seemed
all right while was doing II. Did you
want 1t. Lucy Amir
He had glanced down into her eyes.
YES" said she simply, and my hand
itched for a grip Of the fellows collar.
How many have you alreadyT' he
asked. with a laugh.
"A few" said Lucy Ann.
I'll make you a better one" said he,
'better than any Of them, a really good
one. You-just-wait."
He spoke the last words slowly and
shook his finger ut her.
II don't want one that looks like me. -
said she. II want one Just like that.'
She pointed downward ut the white
fragments on the grass. So II pleased
the little girl to be idealized BY this
particular artist.
Then and there I made up my mind
TO speak privately TO Trask and tell
him gently TO get out.
