He would go out on the streets ana
walk and walk and walk, trying to
wonder if the maden'S answer was
final calling up little scenes of their
days together, conjuring up her looks
to see if he could not again read in her
eyes and find something there that he
wanted. He wrote her long letters tell
ing her a great many things that were
not always kind. Some of the letters
he sent across the ocean to her; others
he tore up and tried to forget. But
there were only three letters from her
in all the four years he was gone, and
they all came ON Christmas eve. Long
friendly letters they were, just like the
chats they used to have, but with no
sign of the thing he wanted her to
write above all else. The stupid artist
worked so hard that he could hardly
help winning some shadowy success in
all that time. There was picture or
two in the salon; his instructors grew
encouraging: there was Il line now and
then in the papers, all of which pulled
him up nightly because he vainly
hoped they might make some difference
with the maiden.

home in New York and start his work
there He told himself over and over
again that he was going home to the
maiden, and his heart beat absurdly
with hope of seeing her and then sank
heavily again at thought of the change
the years might have made, of the cS-
arrangement they might have brought.
During the time he had been away she
had written many stories and had final
ly convinced the editors of their worth.
He saw her name in the contents of
Il number of magazines. The old days
were changed. He would no longer find
her in the cheap boarding house. If
she sent him away three years before,
she probably had almost forgotten him
in all this time, but the thought of the
Christmas letters spurred him to write
to her and tell her of his return. He
would reach New York the day before
Christmas, the anniversary of his leav-
ing. Would she meet him that evening
at half past in the little restaurant?
He would wait for her ut their same
table in the corner, and they would talk
over old times The artist arrived in
New York on the day he expected, and
all afternoon he wandered about, wait
ing for the hour of their engagement,
yet half dreading it for fear she should
not come. But the good fairy waved
her wand for him this time. for the
maiden really came. and she is just the
same. dear, sweet maiden as in the old
days. only the shabby clothes are re
placed by new, well cut things, and
there is Il quiet air of prosperity about
her. She looks just little older. per-
haps. and the eyes are Il rifle more
serious. bU. they are the same tender,

say. We'll, here goes:
"Once upon Il time there lived 4
dear, foolish maiden and a stupid
struggling artist, whom she befriond-
ed The maiden at least ought to have
been very rich, possessor of stately
mansions and all that sort of thing, if
she had had her deserts, but, truth TO
tell, both of them were very, very poor
so poor that the maiden used to wear
frayed skirts and cracked shoes some
times, though she laughed and pre-
tended she did it for fun, and the art
list was so poor that-well, he was
poorer than any really respectable per
son ever was before. The two lived
next door neighbors high up in the
same cheap boarding house in busy
little city called New York. For some
unfathomable reason the maiden took
pity on the artist and used to help him
out of his domestic difficulties and try
to patch up his moral snagS and tears
as well. She was his good angel and
made the days of struggling worth
while for the stupid artist. She used
to write wonderful Stories-much too
wonderful to be appreciated by the
earthly editors she had to submit them
to. In spite of their poverty, they used
to have good times together. those two.
When things grew very somber they
would help each other jeer at fortune.
There was little restaurant where
they would have jolly dinners when
ever the artist sold a sketch or two.
Carl the keeper of the restaurant. was
their friend and served them good din
ners seasoned with sage philosophy.
The day dawned when the artist had
an opportunity to go abroad and study
his art under the great masters-the
thing he had longed for all his life.
when the chance came, however, it
seemed a small thing compared to the
