Of their own dignity are careful to
make others help maintain IL.
The man who so fascinated me
was now Andre" to me and was
Beth" to him. l had known him
perhaps two months In all. During
the first month we had seen each
other perhaps three or four times.
We were now meeting practically
every day. II not at lunch time, at
tea time: II not for tea, surely for
dinner. Or. IL we both had to work
until we'll into the evening, Andre
would call me up and ask me TO go
to the theater with him later. All,
how often in that time have sat
in my orchestra chair In some the
ater scarcely able to follow the
play, because In the darkness Andre
had slipped his hand over mine and
was holding 1t tight.
And almost | had a few weeks
rest from my miserable jealousies
and forebodings. For the nonce
Andre was devotion itself. He
seemed bent upon doing every little
thing to please me. He was suffi.
ciently superficial. and with his TEN.
permanent easily influenced, always

reflection OF my own 10y. or sorrow
that found in his eyes and voice
took for complete understanding
between us. fancied we were
marvelously mated. And, although
Andres lips still refused TO form
definite words of affection for me.
lulled my fears ani suspicious by
telling myself il was not his tenn
permanent to be extravagant. That
surely he was only waiting Until
his social or financial position was
a little more assured, so shat he
might come to me proudly and ask
me 10 be his wife.
Thus days slipped into weeks. and
the weeks into a month. and ! had
grasped at something very like hap
plness. Nor would permit suspi
cions TO cross my mind. AS. for ex
ample. one night when Andre and
were dining together in small
semi Bohemian restaurant in the
lower part of the city. II was well
past o'clock. We both had been
busy at our drawing until late. Now
We were dawdling through our din

Of what had been many hours oi
work. And so il was scarcely

at our table. I fancicd Il was the
waiter. Then q voice not overly
well bred addressed Andre.
Hello. Albert" heard some one
exclaim. Haven't seen you since
the Art Students' ball. Where have
you been hiding yourself?"
Andre looked up with not very
cordial expression on his face. Like
most people not very sure Of their
own dignity, he always was exceed
ingly careful to make others main
tain 1t for him. Although, In this
instance as 1t turned out, the man
who spoke to him was an editor Of
one OF the magazines for which he
worked. II was, therefore. almost
impossible for Andre to be sharp
with him. Also I saw the man cast
me a glance which fingered upon me
more or less admiringly. Obviously
he purposed to remain until Andre
introduced me to him. The best
thing to do was to get II over
quickly. And apparently Andre
realized this. for with half vexed,
half apologetic gesture he said:
Miss Barmore, may introduce
Mr. Sniffen? Sit down, Sniffen. VIII
you have something to drink"
And Mr.. Sniffen. being of the type
which Is always quite sure Of its
welcome, seated himself between
Andre and myself without further
ado. Also he began at once TO en-
tertain me. Probably had he told
the truth he would have admitted
that I was doubtless bored until he
came. Now he did his little best
to brighten me. And Andre became
quieter and luieter. Always the
man for whom / cared was not 4
mans man. He only sparkled when
there were women about him TO ad-
mirc his wit. Few men liked him
sincerely. Although l must say in
justice to Andre that this was prob
ably true because he seldom or
never made any effort to make men
like him.
II was as we three sat thus-I.
wondering how we could rid our
selves OF Mr.. Sniffen: Andre, eating
his dinner in stony silence; and our
guest. loquacious and colloquial With
stories OF the journalistic craft
that one OF the bell boys came
through the restaurant paging An
Dire. As soon as he located him he
told him OF telephone call. At
once Andre excused himself and left

Mr. Sniffcn was saying for the few
moments after Andres departure.

lips, caught my attention.
