He would send her one e:nbcdying his
love and its hopelessncss and Offering
two sequels for the choice of tie read
er. In the one the lover should body
set aside the barriers of position and
WOO and win his ladylcve. III the
other he should patiently bow to the
inevitable and devote his life to the
uncertain happiness of literary sue
cess.
He bent himself feverishly to the
task. For several weeks he had not
dared to trust himself to call upon
her. She would understand the reason
why when she read the story he ad
dressed with a trembling hand.
A day went by, anothsx, a week
Saunders could not works. He could
not sleep. He haunted the park and
the streets where he had sometimes
met her. hopeful yet fearful of meeting
her again and reading in her face his
answer.
At length. when ten days mad passed
and suspense had become almost un-
endurable. the postman left n bulky
envelope in his letter box.
1t was his story, and as he unfolded
it a typewriter slip fluttcred to the
floor. He picked it UP mechanically.
1t was the usual rejection slip. curt
and businesslike, without an added
line to soften the blow.
1t might have been minutes, it might
have been hours. that he sat there
staring at the scrap of paper. Then.
with Il groan. he buried his face in his
arms. as if to shut out the words. His
castle in Spain had fallen down about
his ears. and he sat among the ruins.
The sun was setting when he rose
brusqucly and went out into the air to
walk and walk in the hope that phys
ical WEAKNESS might stifle his suffer
ing The coolness of night brought a
dogged courage to blot out the past.
with its day dreams, and turn to the
future.
But 1t was weary work. The end of
the week found him so worn and hag-
gard that his friends declared he was
overworked and advised rest and
change. "Your novel is making such
success you can afford to do it,
they urged. He only smiled bitterly
and shook his head. 1t seemed such
cruel mockery to think that the sue
cess of his cherished novel should
bring him no happiness.
He was listlessly sorting his mail
one morning when his eye fell upon q
tiny blue envelope which had been
hidden by the others. His heart seem
ed to leap into his throat, for he rec
ognized the hand. He read:
Dear Mr.. Saunders-It is so long since !
have seen you that l am pining for one of
our chats. To be sure, l have Just come
back from my three weeks vacation, hut
then you had not been to see me for ever
so long before that. Is there anything
the matter? Come up tonight, and per-
haps can explain. Yours sincerely,
CECIL TRANERS.
Again Mr.. Saunders sat staring at a
piece Of paper. but this time it was
the shock of sudden joy. She had nev,
er seen his story. 1t had been turned
down by her deputy reader.
He made most of the explanations
that evening. but Miss Travers did not
seem to mind.

She Will Decorate Governors Home.
To Miss Marie Irwin Of Boise, Ida,
has been awarded the contract to dec
crate and furnish the new official
mansion for the governor OF that
state. 1t is one of the few contracts
Of the kind that have been won by
women In this country. In that city
there are several women who have
found furnishing and decorating a
profitable profession, but most of their
commissiVns have come from women's
clubs or other women's organizations.
1t is q line Of work for which women
are especially well fitted. Miss Irwin
studied in art schools there and in Chi
cago, returning to Boise little more
than n year ago. She arranged the
decorations for the last inaugural ball
in Idaho, and 1t was her success then
that led to the award of the present
contract Miss Irwin aims at simple
ity in all her work, WHICH when at
tained means the best artistic express
sion.
