leaves and saw the green moss and
the trailing lines of partridge berry.
And in and out of the picture moved
the figure of the artist-in its soft

scene; she was part of it; yet when
he tried to remember how she looked,
he could not recall even the color of
her eyes. She eluded his search. and
In her stead he saw the sun shining

ideal. When he had been invited to
the homes of his classmates he had
fancied that he should find in one of
these homes the fulfllment of his
dreams. But the sisters who met him
with cordial welcome, who danced,
flirted, and played golf and tennis
with him, had seemed to him too
young to understand even the alpha
bet of love as he would read it. He
had felt very old and experienced and
out Of place The love that he might
perhaps have won from them seemed
to him pale and insipid. He wrote
poems, but he dedicated them to the
ideal. She was a glowing presence
more real to him than any woman
Now this ideal had paled and faded
and quiet figure in grays and
browns filled it's place.
He was passing a florists, and he
stopped to purchase bunch of vio-

CHAPTER X.

Richards promotion came sooner
was to take trip to Europe, and
Derring was offered the position.
Something in the quality of his ar
ticles had attracted attention; and he
had even handed in several specials
on his own account, that were ac-
cepted with some show of interest.
He owed his rapid advancement
partly, too, to something that, for
want of better name. we call per-
sonality. Those who came near him
proved of him; the managing editor
stood ready to help him. That he gave
no return to the liking he inspired
seemed to make no difference. His up-
satisfied heart was a magnet, drawing
to itself the particles of humanity and
holding them.
His new work took him to the Art
Institute and into the world of artists
and he saw his new friend often
Sometimes they stopped for word in
the halls; sometimes he sought her
studio in the intervals of work Their
relation had become that of good-com-
radeship. Derring supposed that he
felt towards her as he would have felt
towards a man-if there were such a
man. He turned to her with each new
interest. They discussed every sub
ject in the range of art, literature and
life. But their intercourse was free
from even a hint of love-makng. She
had only the grays and browns of her
apparel.
With his promotion and increase of
salary Derring had changed his board
ing place to pleasanter part of the
city. He had not thought to ask her
where she lived. 1t had not occurred
to him that he might happen on the
same place until the first night at din
ner when he raised his eyes from his
plate and found her on the opposite
side of the table. smiling quietly at his
surprise
That she saw the surprise was evil
dent. But that she OWNED the accom-
panying vexation could be guessed
only from the care she took to put
him at ease. 1t was like her She
would not be so stupid as to misun-
derstand him any more than man
would have done.
1t was three months after the be-
ginning Of their acquaintance that he
hurried into the studio one morning
to ask her to lend him book he had
seen in her bookcase. He was short
of material, he explained. He wanted
to work up the Arundel collection. Il
she would lend him that book it woult
save him trip to the library.
In his haste he did not notice
though he remembered afterwards
the slight hesitation with which sh
took the book from the case and hand
ed 1t to him. 1t was small, leathe,
bound pocket edition. such as tourist
