himself to Col OgiIvie the whole truth

in his reasoning he thrust the letter
deeper into his pocket and his lips shut
tight. He would win Joy on his mere
manhood and his manhood S love-if at all!
BY the post next morning Col. Ogilvie
and Joy both got letters from Italy. That
of the former was from his wife, who an
nounced that they were just starting for
London, where they wished to remain for
few days in order to do some shopping.
When this was done she would wire him
and he could run up to London and bring
them down with him. This pleased him.

CHAPTER XII.
Echo of q Tragedy.

Athlyne had one other day almost sim
liar TO the last. This time he came to
Ambleside little earlier; fortunately so.
for Joy had got up early. When he came
into the square she was standing in the
window looking out. Not in his direction;
did a woman ever do such stupid thing
when at the first glance she had caught
sight of the man far off? No, this time
she appeared to be eagerly watching two
tiny children toddling along the street
hand in hand. He had time for a good
look at her before she changed her posi-
tion. This was only when the children
had disappeared-and he had gained the
shelter of the liiacs.
never once occurred to Athlyne that joy
might have seen him, might have even
known of his being at Ambleside or in its
neie ehborhood. Any independent onlooker
or any zone not bound by the simplicity
and unquestioning faith of ardent love
would at least have doubted whether
there was not some possible intention in
saved him from pain, that one pain from
which true love can suffer, however base
less II may be-doubt. Early morning took
him to Ambleside; he only went back to
Bowness when those windows of the hotel
which he knew were darkened for the
nights
The second day of waiting and watching
was just like the first, with only the adj
dition that the hearts of both the young
people were more claimant, each to each;
and that the rising passion of each was
harder to control. The same routine of
going out and returning was observed by
the Ogilvies. and each OF the lovers had

THE STORY OF THYRZA. BY Alice
Brown. New York: Houghton. Milf
film Company.
Thyrza Tenant has become one OF
the strongest types in modern fiction.
Miss Brown presents her from her early
school days to her triumphant maturity in
middle life. when she has conquered her
enemies and emerged victorious from
great struggle. Thyrza as child was
inspired to the conservation of herself for
the good of others. She plotted for the
entertainment and for the benefit of her
mother and sister. She was feminine
Quixote; romantic to an extreme, falling
in love first with an elderly man who
scarcely gave her a second thought. and
then with a playmate of her childhood,
who had run away from home and un-
eXpectedly returned. This was the be-
ginning Of her tragedy. 1t is a shock to
the sympathetic reader to find Thyrza

THE current art seasons course is well

exhibitions remain upon it's schedule. One
of these is the forty-second annual ex-
hibition of the American Water Color
Society. which opens in the Fine Arts
Galleries. New York: the Goth of this
month, the same night that the Carnegie
Institute exhibition opens in P!ttsburg.
To this exhibition Mr.. James Henry
Moser of this city is sending six water
colors which on Wednesday afternoon he
informally exhibited at his studio in the
LIE Droit building. Individually each is
representative, and collectively they con-
stitute a delightful group. One is the
original study made for the painting
Sweet Fern and Pine which represent

can paintings-two, the old red barn in
the Berkshires and the sunset across
Rock Creek Valley, were included in the

hibition, but the remaining three have

silent field of snow representing, as the
Japanese have 1t, a pause the chill in

it's vista is less extensive. and over the
shoulder of a small wood to the right is
pictured arising a bright little cumulus
cloud. The soft autumn tints set nature s
palette, but this little cloud makes the
picture. 1t does not intrude. however.
nor force itself upon attention. but rather
takes it's place nicely in the composition.
In both these pictures Mr.. Moser seems
to have given his medium luminosity, to

Joys letter from Judy. IT was in her
usual bright style and full of affection,
sympathy and understanding. as was
customary in her letters to her niece.
Judy had of late been much disturbed in
her mind about the future, and as she
feared Joy might be taking to heart the
same matters as she did and in the same
way she tried to help the other. She
knew from Col Ogilvie's letters to his
wife which they talked over together that
he was seriously hurt and panied by the
neglect of Mr.. Hardy. Indeed, in his last
letter he had declared that in spite of the
high opinion he had formed of him from
his brave and ready action he never wish
meant much. the most that could be of
possible i'll; joys happiness might be at
stake The aunt stepped through and
through with knowledge of the world and

own heart, its hopes and pains. and from

She had had many and favorable op-
portunities of studying Joy closely. and
she had in her own mind no doubt what
ever that the girls affections were given
beyond recall to the handsome stranger.
So in her letter she tried to guard her
from the pain of present imasininss and
vet to prepare her subtly for the pos
sbility of disappointment in the future.
Her letter in its important parts ran:
