sJ him when he arose. He was
filed with misgiving, doubt. uncer.
tainty. His thoughts, half formed, dis

He tried to think Of maria re with
Elsa. but 1t was without enthusiasm.
Warm, beautiful, affectionate, she
made no impression on his heart, which
seemed like Ice.
He looked around the studio with
aversion.
The pictures on the walls seemed no
longer to represent the aspiration OF
the artist. They were mementos OF
the models who had posed and frted
and talked scandal within his walls.
He paced the floor restIessly. nerv-
ously twisting his unllghted cigarette
in his fingers until 1t crumbed, his
I mouth tight his eyebrows drawn to-
i>gether. Then he seized his hat and
overcoat and flung himself out Of the
door into the gathering winter storm.
For an hour he plunged through the
snow, the chaos Of the storm matching
his mood. Almost exhausted, he turned
! back toward his home and entered.
The room glowed warmly. In front Of
| the inviting fire was the big armchair
with its wide seat, comfortable cush-
| ions and high pulpit back. AS he laid
! inside his greatcoat he stepped toward
the chair. intending to bury himself In

room. Karl flung aside his coat. and

himself and lighted cigarette. His
hands shook with nervousness, and he
held them out from him that he might

"Oh, what terrible sightv' he groan

Monsieur" Heinrich said inquir
ingly.
HAS any one been here?" Karl ask

mo, monsieur; only Ma'm'selle Mimi
She is waiting in the studio to pose"
With an impatient gesture Karl
walked across the room. picked up a
newspaper, flung himself on couch
and held the sheet before his eyes. He
did not even see the print, but he per-
sisted, trying to Danish his restless
thoughts.
Heinrich. soicitously brushing and
folding Karl's coat, waited. The artist
looked at him impatently.
"Tell Ma'm'selle Mimi | shall not
need her today. She may 60"
"Yes, monsieur" Heinrich said.
The servant stepped to the door OF
the studio and threw 1t open. He
called out:
"Ma'm'selle, NJ. Karl says he will
not need you today. You may 60

Heinrich withdrew. Karl lay at full
length on the couch, holding the paper
before him.
A young woman daintily featured,
with rounded figure, whose lines show
ed through her close fitting costume,
burst into the room.

Steps arc being taken for the organi-

an instructor in physical culture, will
head the movement. He will call a

Long-dlstance walking has received

club Prof. La Raus does not plan to
drill members for c-ross-continent

be derived from the exercise.
There are already several small
pedestrian clubs in existence in this
city. the Woodside Club having held
numerous walking contests in the past.
The sport is becoming generally poou-
