Booth had intended to show the rs

his mind as he stepped forward t.

When he turned again to Hetty, The

saw it afterward, and, what Is more Il
the point, he never asked her to pro

He thought hard over the situation
The obvious solution came to him:
She had been at one time reduced tt
the necessity Of posing, circumstance
evidently known to but few and Least
of all to Sara Wrandall, from whom
the girl plainly meant to keep the
truth. This conviction distressed him
but not In the way that might have
been expected. He had no scruples
about sharing the secret or in keeping
1t inyiolate; his real distress lay II
the fear that Mrs. Wrandali might
hear Of all this from other and per
haps ungentle sources. AS for her pos
ing for HawCight, it meant little OF
nothing to him. In his own experience
two girls Of gentle birth had served as
models for pictures of his own max
ing, and he fully appreciated the exi'
gencies that had driven them to It.
One had posed in the altogether.
She was a girl Of absolutely IRE

situation meant nothing to him. He

love, he was able to contend; but
it was a mysterious appeal to some
thing within him thst had never re

quite explain what it was.
In his solitary houfs at the cottage
on the upper road, he was wont te
take his friend Leslie Wrandan into
consideration. AS a friend; was it moi
his duty to go to him with his sordic
little tale? Was it right to let Wran
dali go on with his wooing when there
existed that which might make all the
difference in the world to him? He
invariably brought these deliberationi
to a close by relaxing into grim smile

wanted to investigate. To the best OF

painters who had given great promise
at the time it was published but who
dropped completely out Of notice soon
afterward because of mistaken no
ton of his own importance. If
Booths memory served him right, the
fellow came a cropper, SO to speak, in
trying to ride rough shod over public
opinion, and went to the dogs. He
had been painting sesssably up to that
time, but suddenly went in for the
most violent style Of impressionism
