Just a minute pleaded the poet.
The hush of darkness gathered it

for a minute they jostled him, as if
unable TO escape. Then, in a breath,
his presence filled the room-to the
furthest living corner. There was no
one there.
He found the droplight and reached
for a match. The breeze stirred again
and blew against the hand that held
the match to the droplight. He shaded
it with his other hand, and the light
flared up into his tired face. His eyes
smiled a%bsently. He was thinking'pf
the poet and his troubles.
Derring had more than half guessed
them. He had been revolving in his
mind all day what he should say to
him. The woman was a strange crea-
ture. Derring had studied her face
the night before at the play. 1t was
heavy, with deep lines, but there was
something fine in the eyes. He re-
called them nCw-wistful ard mag

He pushed back the papers on his
desk With a little sigh. Why should
they come to him with their troubles?
He a strangely tired. But with it
all. underneath, beat a sense of COM

seated himself at the desk, he took
up his pen and threw of the depres-
sion with an effort. He was only
tired. He would go away next week
for a rest. Meantime Reaching for
a sheet of paper he began to write.
He wrote rapidly, referring now and
then to the letters he had pushed
aside. sealing each note as it was
finished and laying it on the pile at
hand. When the last n was done,
ne ran over the scattered letters be-
fore him. filing some for reference,
tearing others across and throwing
them into the waste-basket.
He looked at his watch--nine
o'clOck-half an hour yet. Rising he
stretched himself and looked about
the room. He moved to the window.

Eor the dilettante philanthropists
who posed amid the picturesque
sqnalOr OF the slums he had only the
keenest shaft OF ridicule. 1t was his
insight that made those who were
taking up the work in earnest seek
his advice. While he had not gone
into ii in person. he was cognizant of
every step taken. and often, by his
shrewd counsel. balanced the senti-
mentality OF Over-enthusiasm.
The young men We're waiting to
consult him as to the best way of
dealing with a pair of philanthropic
cranks who persisted in thrusting
themselves into the work and who. by
their o~btuseness, were undoing the
best results of the past year While
waiting for Derring and discussing
the situation, they had drifted into
talking of his fitness for the work and
of the strange delicacy that kept him
from it.
II stands ready enough to help
any of us fellows that come to him.
But | suppose that's just it-these

straight above the broad white fore

the driver of an express cart or of
any vehicle that rumbled and ratified.
In reality. he was an artist OF much
promise. His sketches had in them
depth of sentiment that gave even
greater promise than their technique.
Three years ago no one had believed
that he would ever be anything more
than a dabbler in art. He had had
plenty of money and was leading a
free. devil-may-care life, sowing TO the
wind and complacently looking for

Flushed with triumph and 90 de-

gorgeous panorama that spread itself
beneath them like a two-inch to the
