chandelier still quivering above his
head, and rose slowly to his feet.
Marcia Vane was fiat on her back in
the middle of the floor. A tiny portable
gramophone was yelping the Parade
of the Wooden Soldiers, and Marcia was
counting and kicking with charming
abandon.
Something heavy crashed twice against
her door and Marcia bounced. Still fiat
on her back, she stammered, "C-come
in!" before she really meant it.
Geoffrey came in-something after
the manner of an enraged truck horse.
Must you," he demanded with icy calm,
"do your idiotic reducing exercises at
IL o'clock at night?"
The girl twisted to a sitting position.
I'm not reducing!" she snapped indig-
nantly. II don't have to! I was eXer-
cising-and I'll do it any time I pleased"
Then for Pete's sake do it down in
the basement, will you? Every time you

who says SOP" Marcia wanted to
know.
"Who says what?" impatiently.
''Who says they were perfectly good
drawings?"
Geoffrey ignored this with the scorn
it deserved II have important work to
do" he told the girl slowly, rather as
one speaks to a slightly backward child,
"and it has to be finished before morn
ing. So, will you please play your little
games somewhere else than on my
ceiling?"
Your ceiling" responded Marcia with
deceptive sweetness, happens to be my
floor! Moreover" she added, my job
is Just as important to me as yours is
to you!"
Rubbish" snapped Godfrey. "a lot
of empty headed babies kicking up their
heels for the benefit of a row Of de-
generate grandfathers!"
Marcia caught furious breath. "A
lot of feeble-minded pictures of anemic
Office boys getting to be general man
ayers by eating somebody's grapenuts!"
she flashed.
That little round being more or less
of o draw, there was an instant's pause
while the opponents glared at each
other, and from somewhere down the
hall an infant with powerful lungs burst
into penetrating walls. Marcia grinned
maliciously.
Dear, dear! Another nuisance arriv-
ing! If I were you I'd speak to the
mother. I'm sure she'd be happy to
smother it for you!"
She came to her feet and toe-danced
10 her gramophone in liquid glide that
eaused the stormy gray eyes of the young
artist to widen curiouSly. Then he re-
anembered what foul-tempered, impos-
sible brat she was, and he abruptly left
the room.

longed to get something hung this year
as he had never longed for salvation!
Perhaps" he thought bitterly, II
might prevail on them to accept an
intriguing study of a bottle of mouth
wash! I can't think of anything else
to paint!"
So he continued to throw away half
finished jobs which afflicted him with
more than the usual touch Of nausea, to
smoke too many cigarettes and to swear
soulfully at the bouncing dancer and the
wooden Soldiers" upstairsl
This young lady was Just as desper-
ately in earnest over her career as was
her neighbor. She, too, looked upon her
present job-that of chorus girl in David
Wahlberg's Naughty Nancy" musical
comedy due to open shortly-as mere
potboiling. Marcia was a good dancer,
and she knew it, and she meant to get
somewhere.
Marcia was 20 and high-spirited and
pretty as kitten. She was very popular
with every one in Mrs. Brady's little
establishment except Mr.. Mallard, who
seemed to look upon all his neighborS
as personal enemies, especially herself
and the 1o-month-old Martin gentle
man, newly arrived with his mother,
widow.
Whereupon it surprised the young
dancer more than little to come home
one afternoon and find him squatting on
the bottom stair outside Mrs. Bradys
door, reluctantly endeavoring to pour
some eight ounces Of warm milk into an
equally reluctant infant.
Marcia regarded this charming picture
with an expression Of sanity awe.

most beautiful and sacred"
Shut up" said Geoffrey. Here! Take
this, will you?"

Geof7rey tipped the bottle up, and
James Montressor Martin hit him in
the eye with 2-inch fist. Marcia
giggled. Geoffrey spoke between
clenched teeth.

GEOFFREY MAILARD was "A and
bristling with ideals and earnest
ness. At 21 it had been his intention to
90 abroad and study, but the sudden
death of his father, who was his only
living relative, and consequent evapo-
ration of all income, had brutally wiped
that plan into nothing. It had been
O double blow and a severe one. Even
tually he decided that commercial art,
which he loathed, could be employed.
Wherefore he sat up late at night evolv-
ing out-size tomatoes, silk hose, cans Of
house paint and toothbrushes, and he
boarded his infrequent gold tenaciously.
But the matter that crept eternally
across the background Of his struggling
young mind was the thought of the
Littlefeld exhibit. This was an en-
dowed affair, with an annual prize Of
5000 for the best, and $1,000 for the

years Of naval service.
Years before he entered the Ameri-
