my horror a lady invade iny studio As you say the place has worn a Puritanic aspect since her ad vent there even I myself feel sort of Bj the Guy called while she was but I got her out of the She does not wish him to know she is He goes hunting tomor so it is all He has gotten me in a nice boat he always was too free with my If he liked the why didnt he give her lessons Because he cant paint a it is a real work of chanty to aid this lonely She thinks you perfection I wouldnt wonder if she proved to have Just look at this little sketch she made of you as yon first appeared upon her startled and Miss Danforth held out a scrap of paper upon which was depicted Barry to the His hair standing on end his moustache bristling with lively The very surroundings faithfully drawn Barry was at first a little angry but upon second thought when his own artistic perception was recalled and to his mind rose a mental image of he remembered slyly that it was a game at which they both could He begged the sketch and placed it in his and on his way later to his club in Madison having regarded it for the seventeenth a genial glow of appreciation lit his features and he consigned it for the last time to his pocket with a frank laugh at the humor and skill with which it was Barry Seymour was a young man of high aims and ability but his social position being necessarily among the upper he was careless and alternating with hard work and perse That his social duties inter in a measure with his did not prevent him from acquiring fame in his artistic Art did not mean bread to him it was the accomplish ment of a unwilling to live wholly in the luxury of He had genius and his country acknowledged What ever he painted he and his own natural saved him from being a martyr to his He was a bachelor and meant to remain For the reason most common in he had bound himself to one by her cool appropriation prevented him from forming any new attachment in her and relying upon his own good breeding and refinement to prevent his forsaking her to choose another in a lower That he did not love her was a fact patent even to the lady her That he wore her chains at all was because he had not yet seen sufficient motive to cast them from his In the month of October Dorcas im proved and it is not drawing it strong to say that Barry was delighted with his A warm attachment had grown between Miss Danforth and Dor in the six or seven weeks of their Miss Danforths story was a sad one her life had been bitter and She had been married to a scamp who de and she was granted a di taking again her maiden Her one friend when she began her ca reer in New York had been who procured her pupils and by dint of her own womanly heart she made her self a coveted Many were the women she cheered by her own hopeful many the talents she and There was indeed small wonder that Dorcas loved her for her manifold Everything was going smoothly but everything will not go smoothly in this world for any length of So it happened the first week in November that Guy Williams felt inclined to terminate his hunting expedition and re turn to In his offhand way he had carried in his memory the image of a young girl he thought it might be easy to A young girl he had met one and this young girl being none other than he contrived to stop over in the small city where he first had met is he who hopes after lapse of time to renew amid old scenes the same Change is the and change cannot endure the taking up of old Guy found the bird flown none knew considerably he returned to New and one of the first places he visited was Barrys Barry was in and bard at Upon an easel was his last painting and Barry was giving it the last lingering love pats the true artist loves to It was a mellow and subdued in Guy took a cigar and his favorite chair before he began the history of his Barry an odd feeling at his heart when Guv spoke of Dorcas and his visit to her old when he openly avowed bis at with a stroke of his wiped out a small hut in his mid dle and let in more sky in the rift he bad With this stroke he imagined be had wiped out some futile hopes that had crept into his breast the last eight His cigar Guy began to walk restlessly about the while Barry pretended to mix his colors Presently there was a genuine cry of amazement from Hello Barry Where did you get this It is the best picture of you I ever It was the sketch Dorcas had and Barry had pinned it to the He rose to take it from the but he was not quick Dorcas cried This is signed Dorcas and a terribly jealous look came in his said Barry I was waiting a chance to tell you about your She ia not far from you hasten you may see A strange expression flitted through Guys eyes and he examined the sketch I do not know as I care to see If she has come here among artists and she is no longer the same pirL On your was it not Dorcas I saw in this very room Why in heavens did you spoil that sweet girl She was as sweet and as pure as an Hold dont say too It was your own her coming here you sent her to and in all good faith she She saw no harm in calling at what she supposed was a public studio she did not know these were my private On my I am speaking the Not wishing yon to know she had comedown to earning her I tried to prevent your seeing yon know with what is now with Ella and I have given her in She has already sold three pictures and is none the worse for that I know Pardon for my unkind I will go and see her some time but it is no use my going in the character of a lover for Ive not the least doubt but that she loves Barry made no reply he was thinking of how he might best deny the imputation when he heard the door Guy had Once the inevitable stares us in the face we are apt to know what our wishes were in regard to a different It had taken Barry some time to frame in his heart the wish to marry He had at first felt it impossible to change his mode of living but upon knowing Dorcas better he discovered her tastes did not incline toward a traditional domestic She was too much in love with her painting to court social No other barrier present ing he felt he could care for Dor cas and her family He spent a dreary hour in his studio after Guy Palette and brushes re mained while he gazed at his cherished minus the cosy the next morning being les son he went to Miss Danforths It was and while plac ing his umbrella in the the door of the studio opened and Dorcas blonde head Im glad youve Ella is how solemn you look any body dead No have you seen Guy Did he call if he did I seen What of it Jibing Hes
