play the keys now beyond her reach, and to read
to her in moments preceding a nap. Eating she

The Female Esau" stroked her auburn beard
bashfully until her chum. the Missing Link"
took her hand to encourage her. Even then she
spoke faltsringly. She lived as near the Garden
as possible, she said. that she could slip home
quickly. In spite of the scarf that she wore as
high as her nose. the boys suspected something
strange about her and followed her In the street
till she often became alarmed. She loved novels.
she confessed at last and was especially fasci-

mythologies of Greece and Rome. Such legends

men into women, had peculiar charm for
her. She also spent much of her time at home
IN sewing and embroidery. Her own clothes
were her handiwork. and she had made no end
Of fancy collars for the hairy neck Of the Miss

On hearing OF the collars. the Missing Link"
patted the bearded cheek of her companion af-

only sewing OF an artistic character. At the
present time she had turned her attention to the
brush and pallet rather than the needle and
thimble. While on exhibition in Dresden
museum she employed an artist to teach her to
paint On ms first visit to her apartment the
painter shook that he left more Of his colors

growing accustomed to the swarthy face. the
black bristling beard, and the hairy neck and
arms he drew hands which looked less like five
legged spiders.

her twentieth birthday last year.
