CHAPTER XIII. Lady In the Dusk
HALFWAY between the turbid currents
= of the lower city and the more swiftly
running streams to the northward sits Wash
ington Square, an isle of rest amid the tides
of humanity that lap its shores. This park,
with its stretch of green, its dussy naples
and shaded benches, afforded asylum to
Markham the painter, who liked to come
when the days work was over and watch
and wonder and dream.
His problem still puzzled him. He had had
no word from Olga Tcherny,; though he had
sought her at A1encon and Trouville. She
had gone to Paris, he had been informed;
but he had not been able to find her there in
her usual haunts. Nor had he succeeded in
finding Hernia; though he had left no stone
unturned in the search. He had watched
the hotel registers, inquired at her bankers,
and scanned the sailing lists in vain. Had
the earth engulfed them both, they could not
have more mysteriously disappeared.
There was nothing for it but to wait;
and Markham became aware that love, in
addition to being all the things that he and
Hernia had described it, was a grievous
hunger that would feed upon no food but
itself. He was quite wretched, painted
abominably by day, and prowled in the
streets by night, his disembodied spirit off
among Tic highways VI v dSdDOlll1d
November came, and still no letter nor
any word of her. He was desperate. Her
silence, at first only disappointing, now be-
came ominous. Whatever their misunder-
standings in the last hour of their pilgrimage,
he deserved something better of her than
this. Here in New York it already seemed
difficult to visualize her. He could see moth
ing but. the belled cap and coarse stockings
of Yvonne, the woman orchestra" They fill
ed his eye as her essence filled his heart. The
broadcloth and beaver of her metropolitan
sisters puzzled and disnayed him. Yvonne
tailor nader The thing was impossible!
MYTH muttered word Markham rose
" from his bench and made his way to-
ward the Arch. The street lights were wink
ing merrily, and brougham and limousine
passed beneath it, moving rapidly northward.
With the setting of the sun chill had fallen
on the wonderful day of Indian summer, and
people moved briskly on their homeward way.
Markham buttoned his light overcoat across
his chest and bent his steps in the direction
of his apartment, when at the corner of the
avenue he found his way blocked by soil
tary female person in fashionable attire,
who for some reason was laughing gaily.

say!" she laughed scornfully. what kind
OF love IS this that sinks in hiding, breaches
of friendship for its own ends, and rants OF
philosophy What kind OF love that SCOTS
at public opinion and finds itself at last a
topic of amusement at fashionable dining
table? A selfish love, a nameless love, from
which all tenderness, all gentleness and
beauty
"Hermia!' He had caught her by the
shoulders and held her gaze with his own.
"Let me go. It's true And you ask me
to marry you. Why should you marry me
when you can win my lips without it,
She laughed at him, hard little laugh,
like buffet in his face. Still he held her
away from him.
"Your lips are mine, he said gently. a

But | will not. See! | am all tenderness
again. Your words cannot harm me-nor
yourself now; for love is greater than
either of us. 1t is the secret YOU once asked

CO."
Her color came and went, and her eyes
dropped before him. He dropped his hands,
turned his back, and walked away.
"That is my reply he said softly.
Could he have seen the glory that rode
suddenly IN her eyes as she looked at him,
he would have read the heart of her. But
that was not to be- Followed silence. He
would not trust himself again. The embers
of their fire still smoked. With his foot he
crushed them out.
@You will go at once to Paris" he said
quietly, not looking at her.
She did not move nor reply, and only
watched him as he made the preparations
for departure. They went down the hill to
the village in silence, Markham leading
Clarissa at his side. At the station train was
due in half an hour, and SO they sat and
waited, looking straight before them, no
word passing, and when the train came he
found compartment and put her into it,
with her bundle, then stood with head un-
covered, until a stain of smoke above the
trees was all that remained to him. Pres
emily that too vanished, when soberly he
took up his cudgel and went his way.

Still he turned away from her, his hands
fast in his pockets: but warning murmur

coming around behind him clasped her fin
gers upon his arms.

That Is Reply to Mutinous Swiss
Guards at Vatican.

Rome. July 23.-The mutinous Swiss
guards at the vatican received today
an ultimatum rejecting their demands.
They were assembled in the inner co.."t
of the vatican and notified by their
commander that their memorial of
Monday in which they laid down their
terms. could not be accepted by the
Holy See as it was destructive of the
principle of discipline. He added that
those who could not submit to the
present military rule were at liberty to
return to their homes as freely as they
had enlisted. He concluded by de-
cIaring the organizers of the agitation
would be dismissed from the corps.
The guards received the statement
with murmurs of dissatisfaction and
afterward applied for an audience with
Cardinal Merry del Val saying their
requests had been misunderstood.
