and as though some telephatic

saw her.
"Oh. no." said Peter, "she

Whereupon the painter raised his
eyes and beheld the young lady in
question.
Peter had expected an explosion;
such intrusions were not usually
tolerated. he WAS looking FORWARD
to a sense Of frigid annihilation.
But Mr.. Rovein seemed to be in
a tolerant mood today; he rose
with the brush in his hand. re-
moved his hat and his pipe and
bowed to Prudence, who stood bon
net in hand.
I'LL hope you'll excuse my

Rovein bowed again.

membrance; no picture Of freckles
and a snub nose and defiance.
Mr.. Rovein had acquired his
reputation much earlier than most
men; he seemed more of a man for
having acquired 1t; perhaps that
was because he had had to work
hard for 1t; his face was lacking
in that purposeless vacancy that
stamped Henry Garrison as an
idler.
His speciality was landscapes,
preferably seascapes. He worked
assiduously, smoking a favorite
pipe the while. Peter, sitting
against a tree trunk, lost himself
In the intricacies of chess. He
carried with him a small papier
mache board with pieces of flat
celluloid. and while his patron
worked involved himself in games
that had once worried the great
Paul Morphy in his struggles with
the giant ANDERSEN.
During these periods not a word
was spoken; the artist was deep
In the work Of creation; his Man
Friday was deep in the work Of
recreation. Each was oblivious of
the world, the chess student the
more so.
On this particular day Miss Cole
after stumbling over a path none
too smooth had some difficulty In
discovering the painter.
Prudence once more enveloped
in the friendly folds Of the cape,
was able to look the world in the
face, but the world still continued
to be amused; even the lady who
was talking to the proper Mrs.
Garrison remarking with a tinge
OF acidity: MY dear, your little
friend seems to be decidedly
charming-so simple. isn't She
