I was indignant. 1 think the sense of

continued with a different ring in his
voice, I'm going to see about this?"
He stepped back to the door. The key
was in the lock. He turned this and drew
1t out and put 1t in his pocket. Then he
came forward again.
There's one thing we don't stand for

quickly, land that's making women cry.
When we see that, we feel we've got

I've heard some of your talk to EN-,

Dead Mans Gulch we'd call you a low

Julian Melrose started and took a step
toward the speaker.

" HARLEY MCAULEY viewed the
first manifestations of my new
departure with distinct disfavor.
When he came down from the Hills and
found that he was obliged to sit on a
divan In the corner under a tent-like
canopy supported by a pole, on which was
suspended brass tray from the Streets
of Cairo while piece of stuff trailed
carelessly over a chair, he frowned his
disapproval
Il see," he said. that you've got all the
discriminating circumstances-not to say
the eontributory negligencer
II can't bear ugly surroundings" I
informed him. "A dlscordant line or tone
jars on me-"
II think" he said, 81 must rub your
finer feelings the wrong way just about
every minute. No, I can't go in a panic
about the light falling on a yellow jar
and If that's the standard set I'm not up
to it. You know l love you, and have
been turning all my attention to inducing
you to marry me. I'm getting on pretty
well and can make you pretty comfort

else, was enough to disclose to me his
absolute lack of artistic development.
And yet he was so distinctly alive and

gled the sweet bells out of tune. Still,
has a Wsitler etching got to part us?
Can't we meet on some common ground
where Sargents portraits cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest?"
"Oh, If you only knew what such things
meant to me-" l exclaimed. IF you knew
what your not being able to feel with me
about them means to me- How could 1
go on with such a barrier as that be-
tween us? No. I said firmly, II must
lead my life. l must go away
Go away!' he exclaimed in consterna-
ton.
"Boonville is too narrow for me. l must
go where there is an artistic atmospheric
where 1 can feast on the beautiful things
of the world. l shall spend my life tend
ing the Flame before the Shrine of Art.

NO" Charley answered decidedly.
"Then we must part" | moaned.
"All right he said, and paused. This
can't last. When you return to conscious
ness I'll be there-the first object which
meets your opening eyes. And I'll have
