whatever the price, his happiness
is cheaply bought. The poet sings his
greatest song when he Is about to die
and is a poor, weak human mortal to
live without wine and sons and WON
ems lips. A little stump of a candle
shines its brightest ere it goes out for
ever. 1t should teach you that one
glow of warmth is worth all this life
can give. Life has no object but to be
thrown away. 1t must end. Let us
end 1t well. Let our raging passions
set fire to everything about us, burn
ing, burning, burning, until we our
selves are reduced to ashes. Those
who pretend otherwise are hypocrites
and liars"
The two listened spellbound to this
amazing sermon of sin. Karl's arm
slipped down to Olga's waist. He felt
himself drawing her closer to him.
Don't be a liar," MilIar urged. his
eyes still burning into them; don't be
a hypocrite. Be a rascal, but be a
pleasant rascal, and the world is yours.
Look at me. All the world is mine,
and what | have told you is the honest
confession of all the world. We are
baptized not with water, but with fire.
Love yourself, only yourself. Wear
the softest garments, sip the sweetest
wine, kiss the prettiest lips"
No subtler tempter ever spoke to the
hearts of a mar and a Karl
was leaning over Olga now. He saw
her eyes, her lips, soft, warm, rose col
ored; he felt her arms as she chung to
him, while over them both gloated the
sinister figure of Millar, the devil, tri-
umphant, confident that his work was
done.
There was a crashing ring az the
doorbell that acted like an electric
shock on the group. Karl and Olga
came to their senses, dazed, trembling,
thankful. Millar stepped down from
the chair, baffled, and turned his back
upon them.

"Mr. Moneybags," Millar sneered
contemptuously.

her arms around his neck. Then she
said pleadingly:

Don't; you'll spoil my collar" Karl
exclaimed, trying to avoid her EN-
brace. Mimi began to cry softly.
Before saw these people l hardly
ever thought of your marriage" she
said, but now, Karl. dear, my heart
aches. Please don't get married"
Karl was touched by her grief in
spite of himself. He reached over and
patted her cheek.

Mimi frightened instantly, and her

He arose and was helping her off
Rugged her and said as he kissed her
lips:

Mimi, and you are N.Y.
The door opened silently, and Millar
entered. taking up Karl's speech with:
MY overcoat. 1t is here somewhere.
Your servant gave me yours"
Karl and Mimi drew away from each
other. and Millar looked at them. smil-
ing.
Its very singular" he said, but
each time l enter your studio l find a
lady dlsrobing. You might think this
was a ladies' tailoring establishment"
Mimi looked at Karl jealousy as he
glared at Millar. Then she burst into
tears and ran III of the room. Karl
watched her, and as she slammed the
door he turned to Millar and quietly
said:

You must be married"
Married. Not l." he exclaimed. "A
wife is like a monocle. It looks well,
but one sees more clearly without it."
Your views seem against marriage.

The tone Of MilIar became suddenly
serious as he said:

TO prevent him from marrying"
Please let's not discuss that" Karl
protested.
Pardon me. Karl. but an artist
should not marry he went on. "Your
future wife will swear to stand by
your side for life-until the wedding
day-and the day after she will be in
your way"
Not the true wife," Olga declared.
"Ah. but the true wife is always the
other fellows wife," he answered.
Millar had talked so Accordingly
that Karl and Olga unconsciously drew
near to each other. They stood In
front Of the high pulpit back Of the
armchair, each n resting a hand on
the chair back. Although they were
quite unaware of ii, their position sug-
gested that of a young couple before
the altar about to be joined in wed.

ton struck Millar. who walked around
them, stood In the chair and leaned
owe the back. like a preacher in his
pulpit.
"You are a p~essimist," Olga declared,
looking up at him.
mo. not a pessimist; only practi-
CAL"
u agree with you" Karl said. "A
man should stay at home"
Millar leaned down, placing his hands
over Karl's and Olga's as they rested
on the back of the chair. Looking at
Karl. he said:
why didn't you stay at home? You
ran away to become an artist. You re-
fused a professional position and ordi-
nary morals, a decent occupation at so
much a week. You wanted to go out
and seek the golden fleece of fame.
Now fight your battle; fight it alone;
don't get married"
AS he spoke he lifted the hands of
Karl and Olga and placed them to-
sether, holding them clasped in his
own. They thrilled at each others
touch; they looked into each others
eyes, and they hardly heard the cynical
devils voice as Millar leaned yet far
Their toward them and said:

and there were lines Of agony across
her brow. The two unhappy people
stood staring at each other for a full
minute before Heinrich entered and
announced Herman.
1t had been growing dark in the stu
dio during the remarkable discourse
by Millar, but so absorbed had both
his listeners been in their own tremen-
dous emotions that they had paid no
heed. Now, as Herman entered his
first exclamation was:
"How dark it is in here! l I'm sorry

Heinrich turned on the lights, and
the apartment was suddenly illuminate

cred their self possession. but Karl
managed to indicate with a wave of
his hand his strange visitor.
"Dr. Millar," he said.
Millar nodded absently and barely
| replied to Herman's cordial greeting.
He was still enraged at the Interrupt
ton which had prevented the success
OF his infamous plan. Herman turned
| quickly to Karl and Olga.
"Well children, where is the picture?
