The shake of his head chilled
her. More to be done. you

your heart high, Emily"
They were interrupted here by
a big fellow in the uniform of a
club employee. He slithered in
and stood at Kent's elbow.

She closed her eyes, curling one

Saxon-you don't have to love me
back! Only I'll be most awfully
pleased if you do!'
He saw her five nights. Late
one afternoon she came into the
office. They were alone. As they
were leaving he caught her, kissed
her. They laughed.
Just then Paul entered.

the hall, annoyed that he hadn't

opened. They came out. chatting

He went in and sat at the i'm
mense high board that was his
altar. Saxon's sketches for the
Italian farmhouse were laid care
fully before him.
Paul glanced at them, became
excited, then vastly pleased. He
studied them carefully. Suddenly
he banged on the table: ne called
out: "Sacks!"
But he had pulled open the
door of the empty room before ne

print very carefully.
1t was a plate of Spanish combs.
And one of the pictures was al
most a photographic likeness of
the comb that lay beside it on the
table, shimmering in a dull, yellow
way.
Almost, but not quite.
When Emily put the volume
aside, her face. was dashed with
excited color and little shivers kept
creeping along her spine.
She went at once to the tele-
Thone and called the district at
torney's office.

But hf was going over to Novel

And he thought Of Jerry.
Thought of last night. She had
reached her hands to his neck and
laid her soft cheek on his. The
sweetness of this movement wont
through him like music. He loved
her. He wanted her. Exceedingly.
Suppose-well. suppose they did
get married.
His breath labored on the
thought. Then he laughed softly,
imagining himself and Jerry going
off together. He became warm and
excited-burning with restlessness.
Why could they not do this?
He pulled a sheet Of paper
rouahly-begaE furiously to sketch.
No-he couldn't get married. He
hoped he wasn't going to so in
sane and try this.
1t would end in misery. For
both. Paul would be disgusted-
would probably kick him out. And
he was under a moral obligation
to carry on here at least till his
debt was paid.

she now wore.
She was choosing another work
dress when pale gold flounces
caught her eyes from the back Of
the closet. She took down the
frock she had been saving such
q long time. So dainty and sweet
it was, such a sheen it put in her
hair that she couldn't resist it.
She looked very much like pale,
yellow rose when she met Kent at
the club.
He was waiting for her in the
lounge. a certain restlessness in
his face which changed TO admira-
ton as he came forward.
How beautiful you are, Emily.
Exquisite ss a song"
She flushed and kept her head
down, fearful; of the joy flooding
into her heart.
When they were seated he got
out the minute yellow dagger and
the shred of lace and placed them
side by side on the table. Now

said.
She felt again the little shivers

about and said something in Span
ish, jerking her head. A tall comb
slipped from her hair; after she
had gone Emily picked it up from
the rug. Not until they were in
the car again did she realize that
she still carried it.
Take it tack later" Kent said.
'IlI want to see her again"
He dropped Emily at the shop
and she told him goodby rather alb
sentmindedly, eyes on the comb.
Once inside. she became lively
enough. With a great burst of
energy she PULLED dusty volume

to live like rec1use: to give up
everything for his work. He can

He would rationalize in this
manner when he was taking time
off for week-ends. Or when. for
three or four nights in succession
he was devoting himself to
pleasure. After all, a fellow is

a brief moment

titude. But he was never able to
hold it long. A piece OF work
would suddenly absorb him. Or
Paul would note some brilliant
detail in one of his sketches. He
would offer a scant word of praise.
Saxon was young enough to be
carried away by this. He would
plunge heart and soul into the
dream that had kept him grinding
through four years at college,
ana that made him now hold him
self down merciIessly to his work.
He still owed Paul 81 800.
Tt was this thought that now
came stealing upon him as he
went back to his stool. He wrote
on the corner of a paper: 81 300.
Paul had helped him in his last
two years because Paul had faith
in him and wanted him to give all
his time to his studies.
He got out the rough sketch of
the Bromley place. 1t was to be
an Italian farmhouse, a vision OF
loneliness, rising in natural beauty
like the very trees on the knoll.
He didn't draw. He thought of

The door to an inner room

Saxon grinned. Later on would

energy. A genius-consumed with
one fervor-his work. It was

TO 1t and an unconscious slave

He would return to that room

elevations for the million-dollar
apartment house he was about to
