with his salary for clerkship, provided

But because he never quite knew

ing at odd optimistic moments, Molly
Carey supposed him to be desperately
poor and most unhappy. 1t was diff
suit however for her to reconcile mis-
cry with the sunny blue rays that fill
tered always from Watrous eyes.
Molly never craved temperament.
She only wanted to be human and
make other people comfortable, but
she had thrill of the ultra temper
amental upon the day when she took
the sketches Watrous had made to an
art dealer. The artist on lower Fifth
avenue offered her so wonderful price
for them that for the moment she

back to solid ground and treated the
art dealer to her radiant smile.

she said shyly; perhaps then l will
consider dispoSing Of them"
Back in her room that night Molly
pondered on her right to sell the
sketches before consulting Watrous.
She longed to slip a big cheQue under
his plate at lunch and watch his sur

prise. She also thought that if the
sketches were to be sold she should
give the manager of the little restau.
rant the first choice. She felt that,
plebeian though he was, he would
like the sketches.
Acting on her own counsel Molly
left twelve with the art dealer and
brought back twelve tastefully framed
to the restaurant. The manager was
delighted. His round face beamed and
he gave Molly good-sized cheque for
the possession of the drawings.
In the evening when the days work
was over Molly stayed at the restau'
rant and helped hang the drawings.
An artistic, quaint atmosphere took
hold of the room. Fascination, that
most mysterious of all powers, reach
ed out and claimed the mind. The
small restaurant became horny, while
at luncheon next day animated groups
OF patrons stood gazing at themselves
wildly drawn in those characteristic
roses. They brought friends and
friends brough more friends. The
cooking improved the managers smile
broadened and the tiny restaurant be-
came a delightful meeting place for its
patrons.
Watrous when he had discovered
the mountain cheek fitting his plate,
cast a swift glance at the drawings on
the walls and deep flush rushed over
his brow He wanted to hide under
the minute serveitte. He rammeN the
check into his pocket and tried to look
unconcerned.
He went home that evening and his
eyes proclaimed the fact that he was
off dreaming again. When he went
to the place where he was wont to
fiddle he grouped his friends about
him and told them the tale which drag
ged them one and all over to the other
restaurant on the east side, When
they entered with babble of laugh
ter and happy with expectation and
] the Joy Of new scene, Molly and the
I manager drew apart.
Molly had been saddened by the
manner in which Watrous had except
ed his good fortune. She had been
trying vainly to fanthom It with the
unable assistance Of the manager. She
flushed and would have made good her
escape when she saw WatrOus and his
friends.
There was something definite in the
expression Of his eyes that prompted
Molly to seek shelter, Apparently
Watrous had housed secret no less
wonderful than her own. Apparently,
too he was intent or pro5!siming 1t to
every one in the restaurant, for he
was making straightway through the
line of tables toward Molly.
The manager blocked her escape at
one door while the friends Of Watrous
aided him by forming a sor. of guard
