OclOck.
Dicky's voice betrayed "a touch OF
excitement as II came over the tele-
phone 70 me. Robert Savarin had
just arrived from his home in the
Catsknls TO mike us his long prom
ised visit. and / knew that DicSy
was like an enthusiastic boy In ms
eagerness to greet and entertain the
famous artist so long lost TO the
world, whom we had so dramatical-
~ discovered in the farmhouse Of
his sister IN the Catskiu mountains,
where We had gone for an autumn
soiOurn.
Very well. I'll have some
thing hot for you when you get
here" / promised. and hung up the
receiver, a little stirred myself by
the memories OF the thrilling expe-
riences 1 had PASSED through when
last I had seen Robert Savarin.
I went TO the kitchen 20 give the
directions to Katie for the some
thing hot which should stay tho
traveller until his dinner in the eve
ming, and even before 1 reached the
door I could hear her grooming nap

moved her hysterical fear that she

cause their marriage was 10 be
blessed BY the coming of a child.

and going back 70 the living room
sat down in n big chair by the fire
place TO give a final survey of the
room.
Naturally. I wished everything TO
be looking at its best for the artis-
tic eyes % our famous visitor. out
even despite the Usliness OF the wall
paper and woodwork I felt that the
atmosphere of the room was one of
quiet comfort which ought TO ap-

The Romantic Story.
The blazing logs IN the big fire
place dominated everything, and the
huss of the leaping flames were re-
fiected in the glowing red roses
with which / had filled bowls and
vases in rather reckless prOfusiOn.
The chairs and coUches were placed
carelessly about and made inviting
with gay. sensible cushions meant
10 be crushed. not the type which
must be admired only. And books
and magazines were everyw here. IL

Robert Savarin. To was q name

story of the man as Dicky had told

along the brookside near the Cos

genius. And then ne had dis

Mrs AIlis.
And then Dicky and 4, IN the Cos
Grove farmhouse, had been shown
a collection OF the PAINTINGS OF Mrs
COsgrOve's brother. Dicky had rec
osnized them at once as the work
OF the Missing artist. and had pro-
nounced them 60 DO worth $4,000
The reception OF his verdict by Mrs
Ailis. a mysterious paying guest OF
the Cosgroves. had made me sus-
oect that she was IN plot 20 steaI
