Our Daily Sport Story

It was draped figure, and was stick ing pretty faithfully to the model in my characteristization-th of Helene, who was sometimes spoken of as a French-American girl from New Or leans. again as a Creole, and still again as girl of Spanish descent. No one knew anything more about her than that she had the most brilliant eyes, the fairest skin. and the rNost glossy hair that ever had bewitched a painter Her dress was always in good taste and immaculate and in various guises could be seen in some interior in more than a dozen studios in the building.
 I had not been satisfied with study ing and admiring her brilliant eyes, her sylph-like figure and her superb way of carrying 1t, but wanted something more.
 Helene" I said to her one day, T am thinking of painting a subject which will make my fame and yours, too. I shall call it The Siren.' who will be seated on a seaweed-strewn rock just off shore, and I wish you for my model"
 But sirens did not wear clothing, did they?"
 My siren would be partly draped with seaweeds."
 "Oh. MT. Willis! could not pose that way"
 Such a delicious pink flush as over spread her face as she spoke. It was just the color I wanted for expressing my values, and just the color I had been unable to get up to that moment. and I seized my brush eagerly and be- 4ha ha -f~r .A k4 canvas.
 But you are so beautiful" I said, 'and would make the picture famous"
 Another wave of color. or a renewal of the one I was endeavoring to catch, swept over her beautiful face.
 But should be obliged to sit to the others that way if did to you. How much that implied.
 The others need not know it."
 But they would after the picture was exhibited"
 Yes, to be sure. I did not think of that"
 Of course you might disguise my face a little, and"
 But 1t is the face want more than anything else. I could find many fig ures. but no other face like yours. Helene"
 You might tell them, then it was my IaCe ana some other person s nSure.
 How charimngly she was pleading my cause against herself!'
 Then you will do it?'
 q thiI not but will consider it."
 q think I can persuade you.''
 How with a charming. tantalizing bit of coquetry in her manner.
 By making you my wife"
 She started as though shocked by a galvanic battery.
 Do not mock me, MT. Willis" #.s
 T am not mocking you, Helene. have loved you a long time, and shall be glad to have you for my wife"
 But you do not want every one star ing al your wife sitting on rock, even If partly covered with seaweed?"
 You make 1t very hard for me to know what to do.''
 And you make it very hard for me also"
 Well come and see your picture, Helene" I said. rising from my chair and stepping back to the proper dis tance

Then you seem to be lover as we'll as painter"
 But you have not answered my question as to allowing me to be your lover"
 Did you expect me to after your cold -blooded way of putting it?"
 "Cold-blooded?' Yes, just as though you asked me merely to get my consent to appear as a model:

 Now. will you be my beautiful. oril" liant wife?"
 That is more like 1t. I will see about it. But I do not think you will want me for a wife and a model. too.
 Well, I will see about that"
 Have yon made a sketch of the out- lines of your composition?"
 Not yet. I will do 50 at once"
 And you will want me in the first sketch?"
 
 That means that you don't care. So I will 20 now, and come in when you are ready for me-"
 Certainly not. I am ready now"
 Talk about a woman's caprices" she said. as she retreated behind the screen to prepare for the study sketch of what thought would be my master piece.
 I tackled a large sheet of manila paper on a frame, and began to work vigor- ously with my crayon. l was so ab- sorbed in my work that I did not see her when she emerged. and took her seat in the chair which she had vacated few minutes before. Then I looked up and the blood surg ed through my brain like torrent, sne was so beautiful. There! sit perfectly still a moment" I said. till I get you in that position first"

Up and down her spinal column was faint dark streak which betokened at least a part of her nationality. She had African blood in her veins.
