"You sit STILL" said Trask, taking up
move or breathe for 10 minutes, and
I'll have you this time"
The little Quakeress froze to a statue
while Trask worked away as if for his
life. He had shifted his position 50
that he faced the two girls Lucy Ann
was looking away from him, but it
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
higher type of woman. There was an
earnestness in her face that | had not
seen before, and it 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 l were
permitted to see 1t as he was adding
the last strokes. 1t was a remarkable
study, very pleasing to the eye, but not
a portrait. Miss Jones viewed 1t and
expressed her appreciation in technical
terms. And last of all it 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 it did,
Trask took the sheet into his hands
and slowly tore 1t into strips while
Lucy Ann gazed up at him in a way
which, l grieve to say, reminded me
slightly of a hungry little dog watching
his master eat up the last scrap of the
dinner.
THE thing was a total failure" he
said. II don't know why. 1t seemed
all right while was doing its Did you
want it, Lucy Amp
He had glanced down into her eyes.
"Yes," said she simply, and my hand
itched for grip of the fellows collar.
How many have you already?" he
asked, with a laugh.
"a few" said Lucy Ann.
"I'll make you 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 at her.
II don't want one that looks like me- y
said she. II want one just like that"
She pointed downward at the white
fragments on the grass. So it pleased
the little girl to be idealized by this
particular artist.
Then and there 1 made up my mind
to speak privately to Trask and tell
him gently to get out.

CHAPTER XI.
THE RIDDLE OF THE SONG.


fAITN a lonesome Swiss village 1
H%t met a crippled youth, the son
ES11s6J of an Alpine guide, and he
ksYS9 could sing remarkably well.
His repertory was not large, but it in
dictated good taste and an unhappy
disposition, both of which are supposed
to be necessary elements of the artistic
temperament.
One day 1 heard the singer exercising
his voice upon something exceptionally
weird, minor and melancholy, and
when l asked him what it was he re-
piled that he had dreamed it the pre-
vious night. 1t was musically incom-
plete, and he had supplied only one
line of words, which may be translated
thus: THE path was straight and
neither long nor steep" All the rest
was tra-la-la, as he sang it.
AT my request he spoke the single
line, so that l might catch it exactly.
1.-THE path was a ray of light from
her window" he added in explanation.
1.-THE woman he loved, you under
stand"
"Well?' said 1 in an encouraging
fashion.
"That path" he continued, was sup
ported upon little snow wreaths'-and
he waved his hand with gentle, undu-
lating motion, as If indicating the I'M
substantial arches of the drifting
storm. 1T led straight to her'-and
here he paused and looked up into my
face-"over a chasm as deep as the
world"
He drew his hand sharply across in
front of him, as if his fingers had been
the blade of a magic knife to carve the
impossible rift of his dream to the
very heart Of the globe.
1.-THE man saw the way, but could
not CO." he FASTENED to say, afraid, as
an artist always is at such a moment.
u 1t his pearls might have been cast
before swine.
Seeing that l had not failed to COM
prehend, he settled back upon his bench
and glanced downward with a shiyer
at his helpless and distorted legs.
A month or more afterward in Berlin
I put this air into a form that made
song of it, though the finished compost
ton was sadly inferior to the frag-
ment. l was fully aware of this, but
l had to do 1t. There was no other
way to get the thing out of my head.
Also / wrote some verses which sound
ed like those familiar English trans
lations of classical German songs made
by a person ignorant Of both languages
and of the art OF poetry. Yet patient
and discerning listener might gather
from my lines the gist of the poor
young Switzer's notion.
This little story is necessary to the
telling OF strange thing that hap

Alice Dorothy had a tiny scheme
tucked away in her active little brain.
She was pleased when mamma had
turned on the lights and told her she
might sit up awhile in the big rocker
1t was very still in the house after
