had never been asked of De Bush be- fore. But Pedro had smiled, and his earnest starlike eyes had done the preached them, the famous painter and the youthful one were chatting like the old friends which Pell instant ly assumed them to be. The boys lack of timidity, and frank delight in his new masters talk, charmed De Bush. who was too we'll accustomed to that loneliness which is the fate often forced upon the mighty by an over respectful public. The shaggy head was raised in leonine majesty to greet the reporter.
 My young friend here has just been telling me that he is occupying Sam Hills studio,' said De Bush. Hill IS going to be away for a year. We shall miss him at the Players"
 will you be here all winterg' Pell inquired of Pedro.
 Yes" said he.
 What, in particular, are you going to paint in America?" continued the reporter. Whereat the innocent and unsuspecting Pedro launched into an enthusiastic explanation of some of his pet theories.
 In the midst of these he spied Iris (for the moment seated alone) and, ex- cusing himself, he made his way toward her. AS soon as his back was turned. Pell pulled out his notebook and began making jottings.
 Said he knew Leigh well. Hum friend of De Bush. Great stuff, this! Wonder why l never heard of him be- fore?" he muttered, writing rapidly. Then he slipped into his overcoat, and left hurriedly.
 Meanwhile Pedro resumed his little filtration, quite unconscious that Iris had been watching him all evening with an increasing disturbance of the heart How romantic, how charming figure he appeared to her, he could played so lightly was already in fair way to become a serious matter in her mind. She gave him her address and asked him to lunch with her next day,

 Then he closed its door and allowed her to be whirled away, as she sat very erect. with glowing cheeks. To herself she was whispering with fast beating heart, Have I found my ideal?"
 Pedro gazed after the smart brough am, laughed slightly, frowned. snapped his fingers and said: Whats the harm?"

CHAPTER VIII.
Of Revolutionary Savor.

Of Revolutionary Savor
 Meanwhile, the cab into which the lady who had tainted had been carried, and which Pedro had seen drive away from Milligan's door before he gained entrance there, was halted after it had gone less than three blocks. and the directions that had been given before the assembled guests, changed to that of little unknown cafe opposite Gen. tral park. and some five miles uptown.
 Without protest at the distance. or even exacting the promise of larger fare, the cabby obeyed the order; the cab was wheeled about and headed northward.
 Inside, against the cushioned wall Sonora Daussa had laid her head. her cheeks pale, but her wide dark eyes showing that she had returned to con sciousnese. She was beautiful wom- an of that rare type. blonde Spaniard (than which there is no fairer), and although she was close to forty years of age, her slender graceful figure and erect carriage made her appear young CT. To the man beside her, she seemed the very incarnation of loveli- ness, as indeed she had always ap- peared in his eyes. He made little motion, as if to caress her. but instead of responding, she shrank back from him silently.
 Madame. you must not sing in pub lie again! It is very charming. but too conspicuous" he said in Spanish. You must not sing when we are in public"
 She replied in the same language.
 You must not try to touch me again when we are alone"
 Impatiently he dropped his hands to his sides.
 Will you deign to be reasonable?" he begged. Let us keep to the sub ject. It is essential to our cause that We appear as the best of friends-as brother and sister"
 "ln public, yes--since you insist" she interrupted. but when we are alone there is no need to maintain the farce. You have no right whatever to lay hands upon me. It is a breach of trust"

CHAPTER TX.
The Lady of Mystery.

Wrapped in brilliant yellow bath robe. Pedro was finishing breakfast. Having perched himself upon a high stool, he broke the rind of an orange with the tip of palette knife, while staring contemplatively at half-fin- ished canvas-one of the many with which the room was filtered. Then he ate pensively, and when he had tin- ished. lighted a cigarette and opened the morning paper. From the front page sprang piece of news that fairly made him jump. The headline bore his own name.
 NOTED SPANISH PAINTER HERE Sionor Pedro Has Taken S. J. HiIl's
 Studio for the Winter. To Paint
 City as 1t Is.
 This was the caption, after which followed an interview with himself. based upon what he had said to Pell, the young reporter, the night before, but considerably embellished by that gentleman's own imagination. For sev- eral moments the reader was quite overcome with amusement. He, Pedro, the impertinent. the unknown. the mere student, thus advertised, thus hauled to fame! In writing the article, Pell had assumed the same sort of knowledge on the part of his readers that he had himself assumed. Thus, upon nothing, he had built the founda- tions of reputation.
 The lad laughed, and spreading the paper open before him on the table, lighted another cigarette and admired his name in print.
 Then an item of personal interest caught his critical eye. Samuel J. Hill. the eminent portraitpainter, whose engagement to Miss Iris Van derpool, the asphalt kings daughter, had been persistently rumored, had gone South for the winter; and 1t would appear that the engagement, if any such existed, had been broken, for reasons unknown.
 Again appeared Signor Pedro e. B. Pedro. this time, for reason unguess- able). who had taken his confrere's studio for an indefinite term.
 Pedro put the paper down and gave his yellow robe an extra fold about him before sinking into reverie.
 An! this explained much-HilPs sud den anxiety to leave town. his unhap- piness, his reckless generosity to the first needy stranger whom he met These two had some silly quarrel, per haps. It could not have really been so serious as they apparently made it. Why. never were two people more ideally suited to each other, or he, Pedro. was no judge! And in the

not! Come on now, old lady, wake up and shuff1e."
 He was about to lay his hand upon her shoulder when Sam gripped his forearm and gently pushed him aside Astonished at his guests strength, the husky Irishman stepped back, and watched while Hill gently awoke the old woman.
 Awake. Nita," said Hill. Come, lit- tie blossom of the bramble-vine. our host Is giving us godspeed."
 Quickly she was awake, regaining consciousness with that speed which is faculty of those who are old. With a grotesque gesture she strengthened the handkerchief upon her head, and gathering her shawl about her with one hand. she stretched the other across the table to her glass.
 "Oh, my immortal soul!" she nut tered. Just another little drop to keep out the cold, my handsome boy" Nix" said the barkeeper, "out you go. This place is going to bed" With much grumbling Old Nita started for the door, which was at the opposite end of the apartment, and be- yond that leading into the small room into which Rowe had led his friends. Still puzzling about the appearance of the former, Hill buttoned his coat about him, and gathered up the bear pole and chain, preparatory to follow ing her. Who the deuce was that man -ah-no, 1t could not be--yes, by love. 1t was, though! One of his ten ants with whom he had scarcely spoken. A fellow who lived below the studio. He put supporting hand be- meath Old Nita's elbow. One by one the lights were being extinguished by Mikey, till only single lantern burned near the exit.
 Hurry up, now!" admonished the proprietor.
 Going, Ireland; good night" re- sponded Hill smoothly.
 Just then the door to the little inner room was opened and three figures, one of them the woman's, hooded and yelled, appeared directly in their path. How much, Mike?" said Rowe, step ping forward Then he caught sight of the old woman, and stood for an instant as though transfxed with alarm. At the same moment she saw his face, and her own became hvid. Rage, fear and hate were lurking there, and shaking herself free of Hill, she sprang for Rowe, her old hands curled | like the claws of some vicious bird of prey.
 Devil" she screamed, have l | found thee at last?"
 With an oath Rowe tended her off, his forearm striking her stunning | blow, and then, quick as cat, he over turned the last remaining lamp, and, seizing the yelled lady, pushed to the outer door, Sancho, who also seemed to recognize the old woman, preceding and opening it hastily. Old Nita, stunned by the blow, fell to the floor, while Hill sprang at Rowe-but too late. For fleeting instant the Span iard's face could be seen, sardonic, un' earthly, in the white light from the street. before he slammed the heavy door to. catching Hill on the jaw with the edge of it. Then he was gone with his companions, while over the dark turmoil and confusion in the bar lin gered the echo of laugh, mirthless beyond description.

WASH THE CELERY STALKS
Advice Given by the Department Of
Agriculture Should Be Needed
by Every Housewife.

Since the United States Department
Of Agriculture has discovered that it
is practically impossible to bring sat
isfactory celery to market unless the
plants have been sprayed with Dor
deaux mixture, or the salts of copper
declared injurious for use in food prod
ucts, two warnings have been issued,
one to the housewives telling them to
wash the celery before using 1t, and
the other to the farmers telling them
that the danger In using this blight
preventative was due to a faulty
spraying apparatus. 1t should be
spread at.high pressure to make fine
mist instead Of in a stream which set.
ties on the leaves and runs down the
stalks. In this way it settles in the
roots and is not washed away by the
rain, giving the celery blue look.
However, even if the spray is prop
erly used the department of agricul-
ture advises the consumer to break
the punches and wash and scrub the
stalks before they are eaten. Chem
ical analysis proves that his cleans
ing removes nearly all the copper
left by the spray and prevents injury
to thoae eating the celery.
