Threnodora had posed for the picture that was

Here too she had listened to his irreproachabe
love-making.
She longed to be frank with Austin; to show
him how untenable was the position he was as
Stunning; to remind him that he was not the only
man who had ever won medal at an Art EX-
hibit. Alas, he had surrounded himself with an
impossible wall of dignity and She the woman
whose heart he had won, stood outside. Yet, was
it not her duty to rescue him from himself? She
alone could do it.
AS he entered the room she darted one swift
glance at his face The look of cold displeasure
that met her, checked all the little rills and
ripples of feeling within her. and she seated her
self demurely a stiff-backed gilt chair, the most
uncomfortable one in the room.
Austin stood leaning against the mantel, the
color gradually creeping over his fair cheek.
