kissed it and this time it was the man
whose knees gave way. He sank
down in the chair and buried his face

Enid Maitland grayely enough. for she

continued
Newbold might have answered that
there was one subject which had been
casually introduced by her upon one
occasion and to which she had never
again referred. but which was to him
the most important of all subjects con-
nected with her; and that was the ma
ture of her relationship to one James

he had heard 1t but once, he had not
forgotten. The girl had been frank

imposed upon himself.

Ziem, sitting cross-legged on a Ia
BILE beside window, worked as tall

life was thrown into a new channel

sang as ballad singer. The father
played hurdy-gurdy, the mother made
lace, and boy performed divers gym

and accounts of the glorious city to

name was Caterina. When she went
away Ziem felt miserable. He lost
spirit and could not shake off the sort
of paralysis that had seized on all his
faculties. At last he determined
with the help Of his needle and his
talent. as he thought, of portrait paint

Venice. They answered to his hopes
of going dqwn by water to Marseilles
