ght; not tomorrow; I must go

tonight; not tomorrow; must go away!"
 "Why?"
 Iris knows about me; and think Of the talk What would your friends say? Oh! believe me, must go away until can come back as myself" she said distractedly.
 His face was stern as he replied.
 'I can usually see the reasons you put forth" said he; but cannot feel that there is any need for you to go"
 "Ah," she pleaded, but l do! Let me come back as myself-as a woman, and as a woman should. l want to; can't you understand"
 "Yes-I think perhaps I do," said he slowly. And in the meanwhile?"
 q shall be with Rico and Anna" she said, until they have the baby. They can be together all the mean time, if dance the bears and bring in the money for them; and then l shall slip away and bid the road farewell. ."
 Then he did see. Saw all that the life of the road had meant to her, all that she would give up for him. He got to his feet rather unsteadily, and at the look on his face she, too, sprang up, half-fright- ened, to escape him. But retreat was useless, and then, smothered in his mighty arms, Pedro received her first kiss.
 It was an hour later that they crept down the dark stairway and swung the door open to the faint glow of coming day When will you come back, Pedro-Oh! When will you come back?" he whispered passionately.
 T shall come,' said Pedro, when the violets are in bloom when it is full spring, l shall return"
 Then she shifted the little knapsack into place across her shoulder and alone stepped off into the grayness, the little bear shuffling along at her heels
 The morning was black and chill but Leigh stood quite motionless long after she had passed from sight; stood motionless until the housetops famed with the coming sun, until the dawr was painted like unto the glory o love; and then he smiled, and, throw ing his head, sniffed the keen air as though he could already scent the un born violets of that distant spring.

and mud-stained, and pitifully made quate to protect her from the cold. Her golden head was uncovered, and disheveled, and from below it's tum- bled glory, her eye shone bright and feverish from the dark-ringed sockets But she seemed unconscious Of her plight, and of the stares Of wonder ment that she invoked.
 It was Carmen Daussa, tremulous with joy at finding the only house In the great cruel city where she pos sessed friends, where she might ask for help and shelter. At recognition of her, a breath of admiration went up from the audience, which swiftly changed to an expression of amaze ment as Vanderpool emerged from the extreme other end of the room. Then, as though drawn by an ire sistible power, they advanced, seeing no one but each other, caring for no one else. totally unconscious Of the existence of the crowd, speaking no word, uttering no cry, but coming nearer and nearer, swifter and swifter as though impelled by fate they had no thought to resist. And then, in the center of the gleaming floor they met, and, wordless still, he took her in his arms. And when the music stopped abruptly she called his name and he bent and kissed her on the mouth.
 Once the spell which had held then snapped with the cessation of the waltz, the people crowded about the two, all talking, complmenting, ex plaining. laughing, pushing; anc while this was at it's height the studio door opened to admit the long-sought l for, slender figure, and Pedro was seen to inquire something of Bell Milli gan At her response, Pedro appar ently thanked her, and disappearing among the crowd, quickly returned with the bear at heel. and vanished.
 With stifed cry Leigh sprang up and hastily gaining the lower floor crossed rapidly to Bell, who was deep ly absorbed ill explaining somethin; to Pell, and who had to be shaken b. the shoulder before she would answe Leighs question.
 Where did Pedro go?"
 "I-good gracious, such perform ance, Did you ever" gasped Bell where did Pedro go? He went hom to pack"
 Home to pack" shouted Leigh Good Lord!"
 And without even waiting to find hi hat, he rushed out into the alley an' started madly off in the direction o Muldoon place.

CHAPTER xX.
The BeoinninQ.

By the light of single candle Pedro was packing little knapsack with the meager belongings that his so- journ in the old studio had brought together He went about the task with reluctance, but with the weary resignation of those who receive an unalterable decree from fate, and recognize it as such.
 One by one his little personal things were tucked away in the ancient trav- elers kit-a book or two some linen. brushes, a gay necktie, and minia- ture plaster cast of Leigh's sleeping bear"
 When these had been put in, and still little room remained. he hesi tated a moment, and then, going to the heap of sketches and small can vases with which the rack was filled, deliberated among them for a while; taking up first this one and then that with loving hands, and throwing each in turn back upon the shelf from whence 1t came. Finally a sorrowful shake of the head dismissed them all
 "Of what use to take any?' said Pedro aloud. But nevertheless. he stood breeding over them for quite a time.
 By the fire lay MT Jones, blinking sympathetically With sigh Pedro turned at last from these children of his mind. and set about arranging the two rooms-the studio and bedroom exactly as he had found them.
 In the first place there were the pic tures-his pictures! From the big easel the Madonna Lady" smiled wanly upon her young creator-a beautiful, crude. unfinished thing, its possibilities beckoning enticingly from behind the haze of its incom- pleteness. Then there were the oth- CTS. Significantly Pedro glanced from them in the direction of the fireplace, and heaved another sigh. No! that was impossible; infanticide! It could not be done. Yet. who would care for them. Leigh? Perhaps. Pil ing them high. and topping them with the ever-smiling portrait of Iris, he stacked them neatly, near the door. and writing For A. l.. Leigh" on a folded bit of paper. left this message atop the heap,
 Next, he restored the furniture to it's original arrangement as nearly as he could remember it, and bringing forth Hills canvases from the cubby in which most of them had been repos. ing. set them around, even as he had found them. down to putting the un- finished portrait of the banker upon the throne from which the Madonna had just been taken. When this was done. the studio took on such an un- familiar atmosphere that lump arose in Pedro's throat It seemed such a concrete representation of how com pletely his claim here had ended! With apparent irreverence he sud denly went over and knelt beside the bear, taking the creatures head be- tween his hands. while tears started to his eyes.
 Poor fellow! Poor Mir Jones!" said Pedro huskily. and then, having patted MT. Jones upon the nose sev- eral times. arose slightly comforted
 The bedroom came next in order. and from press and bureau Hlll's cloth ing, which had been laid away with 30 much care, was hauled out and hung in Its accustomed place. each
