CHAPTER XVII.
Miss Hope Suqcests,

No sooner had Miss Maclaire van
ished than Keith's thoughts turned to-
ward Hope Waite She would need
someone in her loneliness to take her
mind from off her brothers death,
and. besides, much had occurred OF
interest since t. funeral, which he
desired to talk over with her. Be-
yond even these considerations he was
becoming aware of a pleasure in the
girls company altogether foreign to
this mystery which they were en-
deavoring together to solve. He
yearned to be with her, to look into
her face, to mark how clearly the diff
fering soul changed her from Christie
Maclaire. He could not help but like
the latter, yet somehow was conscious
OF totally different atmospheres sur
rounding the two. With one he could
be f1ippant, careless. even deceitful,
but the other aroused only the best
that was in him. her own sincerity
making him sincere.
Yet there was reluctance in his
steps as be approached the door of
as" laggardness he could not ex-
plain, but which vanished swiftly
enough at Hopes greeting, and the
sudden smile with which she recog-
nized him.

Pardon from me? Why, what diff

to press his deeper meaning.

WILD BEASTS AS MODELS
Painters and Sculptors Attract
Crowds as They Work

Should you visit the 200" in Pros
pect park, almost any day this spring
YOU will find an artist painting or
modelling the animals, says the Brok-
lyn Eagle. Though the painters and
sculptors are accustomed to being
the subject of much attention when
sketching or working in clay out OF
doors, it sometimes hinders their OPP
erations if too large crowd gathers
in front of easel or modelling stand
For this and other reasons especial
arrangements have been made at the
geological gardens of artists; and
animals which the latter desire to
study are taken in their cages right
into the studios provided for this
purpose. There are also some cages
in which heavy glass can be substi-
tuted for the iron bars, so that the
wild animals as they pace rapidly to
and fro can be observed without the
annoyance of anything to interfere
with the vision.
At Prospect park those who go to
the zoo to reproduce on canvas or in
clay the animals confined there have
a pretty good chance for their study
in front of the bear pits, particular
ly if they go in the morning, when
visitors are comparatively few. The
bears in this park are especially pop
ular with Brooklyn artists. And as
for animal sculpture, the park itself
contains quite few figures and
groups which are notable Near the
lake at the eastern end of the park,
is a group of lioness and cubs by
Peters, Paris sculptor, which was
presented to the park by Frederick
MacMonnies. MacMonnies himself is
the sculptor of the splendid horses
which surmouIt the pylons at each
side of the Ocean park entrance and
at the entrance from Third street on
the south side of the park, are two
fine figures of pumas, the work of A.
Phimister Proctor. Pumas are espec-
ial favorites with Mr.. Proctor, and
the puma is in many respects the ty-
pical American wild animal.
Animal sculpture is becoming more
and more fad in American art and
many sculptors are deyoting their
chief attention to the modelling Of
animals. The dealers in art objects
say that small bronzes of animals
are among the best sellers of any
thing in their wares. There have
been several exhibitions lately of
work by Barge, the great French mo-
deler of animals; by MacMonnies,
Borgium. Eli Harvey, Anna V. Hyatt
Proctor, F. G. r. Roth, Remington
and others, which have given evil
dence of the popularity of such work.
1t is all in line with the backbone
ture movement, which of late years
has been so much stimulated by the
writings Of such authors as John Bur
roughs, Ernest Thompson Seton, Col
Roosevelt, DIR. William Long, Dan"
Beard. William T. Hornaday, Jack
London and various others, who,
whether real naturalists or merely
nature takers, have helped to idrect
public attention to outdoor life in its
manifold aspects.

passing between them and the back
wheels of the carriage. The road at
that point is not wide and another
step would have taken them directly
in the path of the speeding motor,
as they had heard no signal and
knew nothing of its approach. That
no lives were taken does not lessen
the fact which should be strongly en-
phasiZed that more care should be
taken in using dangerous vehicles
along public highways, that proper
signals should be given and that
speed laws should be strictly enforc-
ed and the drivers should remember
that pedestrians have rights.

or something else will turn up to
make it appear that the man is wrong.
For instance, a few days ago my wife
remarked that a letter in a plain en-

be delivered even if it had no stamp.
OF course knew better, and told her
SO, but she was obstinate. Just to
prove my contention when I was at
the Office the next day I drew a pic

Underneath the likeness I wrote:
"Dear Madam: II you pay two cents

the sheet in a plain envelope and ad-
dressed it to my wife. The next
morning the doorbell rang furiously
while was still in bed. I waited for
the wife or the maid to respond, but
both had gone out. Finally T went to
the door myself. There was a fool
