Boston. JAM 30.--About the hardest
worked people in the world are those
for hours at a time do absolutely
nothing but keep quiet. AT this time
of the year, when the art schools are
full of pupils and every successful
painter, sculptor and illustrator Is
deep in the work, the professional
model who stands without turning a
hand from days beginning to days
end has employment for every minute
of every hour. His life is hard, ex-
acting one. The spectacular side, par
ticularly that of the women models,
who pose for popular illustrators, is
pretty familiar through full page
features" in Sunday newspapers, but
the downright severe labor of ordi-
nary posing, with the aroma of Bohe-
mianism left out-that is the real
story of the professional pcseur.
A hard life, as has just been i'd.
Only the men models, in fact, can en-
dure it for any length of time. Women
come and go, have their little day of
becoming famous as the models from
whom prize pictures or world-re-
nowned mural decorations are paint
ed, and then disappear. Less is writ
ten Of the men models, but they are a
more constant factor. With many of
them it is a regular business, learned
laboriously and followed out through
many years. Some of the men are
cosmopolitan wanderers, posing now
for few weeks in New York or Phil
adelphia, now in Boston, now In Il
western city or again turning up in
one Of the art centers of the old world
where the wages are less but the ex-
penses of living correspondingly
,, lower.
/ A Bohemian of this type is the most
| famous of them all, an Italian, who,
since he was discovered at the age of
eleven years by a distinguished paint
i er in a little town of Italy, has posed
for almost every great artist of mod
ern times and for the students of al
most every art school. The drawings
and paintings made from him are al

CHAPTER XIV.

II was the month of March. Brilliant
blue skies, golden sunshine, and the
wonderfully soft, warm air, had awak-
ened hopes of an early spring. or
blossoms and green grass.
The brown buds We're swelling On
the lindens in the Tollens' garden, and
the swallows had come back to their
nests under the caves, and were sing
ing and chattering about their travel
ing experiences In the far south.
Possibly that had brought the story
which was circulatig through all
westenberg, the story that Lora Won
Tollen was going to be divorced from
her husband; that ne, tired of her
naughty airs, wished it. What didn't
the Westenbergers know about it? NO
one could blame him. Immediately
after the wedding, she had refused
to accompany him to America. She
wouldn't go to that country of shop
keepers, she had declared But good
gracious, If he had his business there.
Ii was, no doubt, much more aristo-
cratic to spend the winter In Rome
with her uncle, who was general.
There was nothing left for poor Frau
Becher but to go to her son, so she
might have home at least. Oh,
these Tollens,
And today a placard had really been
put upon the Becher villa, just beside
the locked iron door, on which was
printed: This estate to be sold inn
mediately"
And that was the result; the owner
of this beautiful estate had lost all
desire ever to live here again.
Frau Won Tollen knew what the
people were saying among themselves
and what was openly announced at all
the coffee parties. She suffered from
IL frightfully for her child's sake, but
II must blow over after awhile. And
thank God, Lora was far away and
need know nothing about n.
And today with the golden sunshine
CLEAN of hope for better times had
also fallen into the little house and
into her heart
The postman had delivered a letter
from Rudolph. and the anxious lool

which he patiently overlooked, as he
also patiently permitted her attentions
10 himself.
Did he love her? Had he not been
quite different with Lora?
She threw the pen away, the end
of which she had been biting.
If his eyes would only light up at
her approach, if he would only say
once, Katie, my Katie," She knew
well enough how he could say it, and
now, Lora would come back free, quit,
free, with the same ardent love in her
heart She wouldn't bear tit would
simply drive her mad.
This evening" she said suddenly,
pushing back her hair behind her
dainty ears. And as she gazcd with
wide-open eyes down upon the nov
quiet school-yard, she lost herself in
the sweetest dreams of the future.
1t was nearly six o'clock when she
went to say good-by to her mother
Frau Won Tollen was in the garden.
walking up and down in the mild air.
Rudolph's engagement had been like
balm to her soul; she had a feeling
of repose, for the first time since her
husbands death.
She looked up with a glance of
pleased surprise as her daughter
came up. Katie looked strangely
beautiful in the rosy twilight of the
spring evening; she had a little
bunch of snowdrops in her bosom;
her simple hat with the long Grape
veil gave something fantastic to her
apearance-or was it in the deep, glow
ing expression of her black eyes?
''Good-by, mamma she said.
"Good7by, child; give my love to the
Frau Pastorin."
Katie found the Schonbergs, mother
and son, in the open air. They were
walking together through the box
bordered paths of the long garden,

really sorry for the fantastic old goose
over there, when she found the proofs
OF the fraud She was as limp as a
rag, and looked wretched enough. But
now you must keep your own counsel,
Marie For heavens sake, no letting
out the secret. Lora must be al
lowed TO think that she was legally
married and legally divorced. Do You
understand"
Frau Won Tollen put both hands up
to her head William" she shrek

Yes, yes. You would better have
let that spendthrift run away to
America. than force the poor girl in
TO such a marriage" he wanted to
say; but he kept it back, for the poor
woman was too despairing in her grief.
Come, don't give way like this" he
said good-naturedly, "but thank God
it is no worse. What II the girl, in
her despair at having to live with such
fellow, had thrown herself into the
water some day, eh?"
He was thinking of the look on
Lora's face a few minutes before.
Frau Won Tollen looked at him in
horror.
He nodded gravely, and then he
said quickly, go up to Lora, now;
and now goodnight Marie. All this
has made me devilish tired"
When he reached the hotel, he sent
for Mrs. Becher, to come down to
the public pac'or.
Madam" he said, 'if you will take
my advice, you will go back at once.
If the steamer does not go for day
or two, you can stay In Hamburg; but
you must not stay here. The affair
will arrange itself after that. You
will have your husband back again;
my niece makes no claim to him."
"Ah! do not wish to live with him
again. she said sadly. Il only want
him to acknowledge the marriage, and
have the child brought up as his son.

"Oh. | will not, Herr General"
The old general then went quickly
away
Poor woman" he thought; what a
reception she will get from that
scoundrel!" and in fancy he loaded a
pistol and aimed 1t at the thick-head-
ed, broad-backed fellow, whose picture
he had seen today in Frau Elfrieda's
salon.

Here comes Katie remarked the
Frau Pastorin, and she stopped to pick

"Good-evening. child" she called out;

Yes" said Katie, looking at the

greeted the young girl Mother,

"Oh, nonsense" said the old lady;
/ that is nothing but the buds swelling
on the trees-it is the earth, the
young grass, the water. and the soft
air. The spring is coming. Do you

Yes, to be sure" he replied, and
was about to say something more,
but his mother suddenly started off to-
ward the house. She had seen the
maid digging in the vegetable bed.

are you doing? l have sowed spinach

he stood before her, and she looked

ND at him with her wonderful eyes
Then he sat down beside her. There
was something bewildering, between
longing and sadness, in the eXpresslonf
of the yong girls eyes.
Katie he said little unsteady
SIS anything troubling you?'
She had her hands folded IN her
lap, and she turned her face towafNh
him. YES" she said.
What is it? We are good friends,
Katie; tell me what it is
Il am afraid" she murmured.
~Of what?-of the examination?
.No-of life"
A smile fitted over his race, but 1t
died away before her anxious eyes
Child he said gently, why are
you afraid?"
She suddenly began to sob bitterly
and passionately.
He took her hand, uncertain what
he should say; her whole slender
figure shook convulsiveiy. He himself
hardly knew how it happened that he
put his arm round her waist and drew
her toward him.
Katie, why, Katie, control your
SELF" he entreated. Her head lay on
his breast, her hat had f~len back.
and in the spring twilight he could
see the thousand threads Of the per-
fumed brown hair, and the rosy cheeks
streaming; with tears Of this young
girl who was afraid of life.
A whole food of thoughts, the mem
cries, the hopes, the grief of the past,
rushed over him with bewildering
force
Katie" he whispered
She nestled closer against him ana
cried still more.

we're assembled in the chapel last
Sunday afternoon in attendance at
the last quarterly meeting of the
year. Two of these were those
who recently applied for member
ship and whose names were SUBJ
mitted at the preceding meeting.
The president had arranged for
the occasion special program,
which, in the opinion of every
member, was an excellent one, con-
sisting of two papers, two recita-
tons. and three piano solos. The
latter were especially appreciated
because that feature of the exercises
has, of late, been conspicuously
absent.
The first Of the papers was by
the secretary, and was entitled
Modern Greed;" but as the writer
of this is apt to say kind things of
that dignitary. it will be better
merely to mention that he (the
secretary was the recipient of
numerous congratulations for mis-
part in the program.

characteristic manner he compared

they are right.
Each of the papers was followed
by a recitation, the first being
Poe's "The Raven" by an ole
member of the circle who has con.
sented on various occasions to con
tribute something exceptional
The other was from William Cul
len Bryant's works and was giver
by member of class @. Boil

After the concluding piano sole
a few minutes were given to gen

until the president announced the
