Brittany wasanything but ta beast- ly place, as Jack Wesley had declar- ed, and the prospect of golden sands, deep blue sea and sky, and rugged rocks ought to have, filled Cyril's ar- tistic soul with rapture. But - the expression on his face was. anything but rapturous, and he worked at his picture with the 'stolid, dogged countenance of a con- vict pursuing his allotted task. Every now and then he stopped painting and stared at the canvas as if he were looking through it, and at "How cloth the busy bee? Well, .tad, how goes the. picture?" "Why, man, where did you come from?" he demanded: "What on earth, brings you here?" "I will be merciful and not reply the Havre hoot and my own legs," said Jack, smiling•. "Is thee° any law, French or otherwise, which for- bids ine to put foot on Breton sIiore?" "I -I couldn't tell you .how glad I am to see you if I tried!" said Cyril, his face flushed with the un- expected pleasure. "I was thinlcdng of you not ten minutes ago, I was, indeed. now well you look, Jack! "And how unwell you look, Cyril!'° he retorted. smiling still, but with a sneaking suspicion of tenderness in his voice, for the flush had died out such tunes his head sank upon his of •Oyril's face, and it looked,• pale breast, and what little light had and harrassed. "What's the _natter, been in his eyes died out, and a lad.? Brittany -air doesn't suit you?" hopeless, sick -and -sorry look crept over his handeorne face; a look which teas not good to, see on the counten- anco of a man young, clever, and with all the world before him. It Is scarcely necessary to say that at these times he was thinking of Norah. It would be rather difficult to say when he was not thinking of h of him r•justthoughts •htsh he and as her > S were full of problems and unanswer- able enigmas, so were his of her. When a man falls in love with a girl, he flatters himself that at least e knows and eausderstands her na- tare. For instance: If any one had asked Cyril to describe Norah, he would have summed her up somewhat in *his- fashion: • "Beautiful, truthful, loving, honest as the day to all the world, and faithful to me- unto death!" Iuid this girl, this pearl among women, had quietly and coolly jilt- ed him; and, had either grown tired of hint in a few days, or thrown him over at the behest of her father. The more he thought '`:her and her desertion of hiin,',:su'more bit- ter he became, the more puzzled and the more miserable. For, notwith- standing her treatment of hiin, he knew that he loved her still -that if t turnt his 1 him.and whistlet she chose o to l a w flim to her side he must fly- to her, 1 and kneel at her feet just as much' her worshipper and slave as he had ever been. • In the words of the Persian poet Sadi, ho had given his heart to her, and could not take it back. Behind him, perched on the cliffs, was the' house which Lord Newall. bad built for himself, but his lord- ship had gone away and left ' Cyril sole master. In fact, his lordship had found the young artist so gloomy and morose a companion that ho could not stand him for longer than a week, and had flown in self iletensse, Cyril would have flown, too; quite' a hundred times a day he had been assailed by an intense longing 'to. kick his unfinished picture into the Hen and start .off somewhere, or any- where; but he had learned something else beside the kack of painting, and that was that for his complaint there was noremedy half so eificaci6us as hard work. He could manage to forget Norah -say, for a quarter of an hour at a time -while he was painting, and he felt that if he threw np his work and wandered off noth- ing to do but brood over his trouble be should probably go road. So, he worked on silently and moodily. The good people of Lor- i fent, who are sociable enough if you rub them the right way, could _m eke nothing of the youngpainter ivho was staying at "milord's" house. The !nen got nothing to answer to their genial ''lion jour, monsieur,,, blit'a growl, and the: girls -most of whore are terrible pretty -might as well have east their; seniles at the rocks and stones as bestow them up- on the handsome young foreigner who did nothing but paint, paint, paint, or tramp, tramp, tramp, up and down the sea -shore." They called him -"The Silent Eng - Usher. On this particular afternoon he venton painting; an.c1thinking till ;:Ito failing light warned hint that it was time to leave off painting and take to thinking only, and ho was just, about to rise and put his things ego( hoe, whenhe heard a step . on the beach behind hirci. ide did not turn his head, because when he (lid so, the peasants, ;who and occasionally strayed from the nehin across the beach, would: persist to yieg to tali: to him, and he kept his eyes fixed sullenly before hien ung tn. the footsthps came close behilsd' dine and e voice emit; "tleott-atanir t Oh, I'm all right." "And this is the picture? . snail Jack, standing before it, "Yes. What de you think of it?t' 'Pretty; very. I like the composi- tion. omposition. That piece of graygreen is good,. decidedly goad." Then he stooped anil looked hard at it, and weYnhestehincl the easel and stared at theEtec'd fit.''

They reached the house, and Were soon seated at the meal which served Cyril as dinner and supper combined. "Anti now tell me • all the news, old man," he -said.

"That's a straight question, and deserves a straight answer: Judge for yourself. Y.ou said just now that I was, the lion of this 'off season. That may or may not be. ' Anyhow, for some reason best known to themselves, the people who collect lions i*ti: their drawing -rooms have done mo the honor to ask me to go and roar• -or bray -in then' of late, Generally I refuse, but the other night I went to one of their eon- fout dod receptions. The card of m- vitation was marked 'small and early.' There was a terrific crush, and everybody came late. I poked my nose inside the door, and not liking the prospect of being jostled in a hot room, was bolting, when a woman I didn't know from Eve, but who turned out to be the lady of the house who had asked me, came uA, and after saying something pleas- ant, offered to introduce me to a young lady who was a lioness. She hadn't written a volume of Poems, or committed any cringe of that kind, but she was simply famous for her beauty and her -emu -ins, as the old- fashioned•writer•s used to put it." Cyril sank into his chair and, lean- ing his headupon his hand, listened rather listlessl3, . "I'xn not a painter," went on Jack "and so I can't describe her I only' know that -well, she took my breath away. I dare say there are many more beautiful women in the world, I haven't taken much stock' of them in the flesh; mine are horn in my Imagination; but this young person `fetched' iw in a manner peculiawand strange. She was neither dark nor, fair. I remember she had a kind of. reef -gold hair, anti that her face had very little color in it -what we writers call ivory -white, if T mistake not; and her eyes -I don't think I can tell you . their color. They might have been brown, but I am not sure they were not blue; let's say they were violet. And when she • spoke, a faint, shadowy kind of smile came I've heard oY your success, Jack, and x meant to write to you, he added, rather . shamefacedly, "but though 1 haven't written, you know I'm glad enon'gh I alit eys knew you'd be famous The paper I saw the review of your book insaid you were the, cozuzug poet, and for once a Pangs' diel not lie. And .1 suppose you are the lion of the off season, and will roar all through the next one, Dear old Jackt" "Not much of a lion. 1 expert you'll do all the roaring, and none of the rest of us will be able to make ourselves heard. "lily roar will be a whine. I'na good for nothing; a failure of the very first magnitude. But go on. Instead of going on, Jack, after a glance at him, looked round the room, which was furnished like te fashionable hunting box, but lined with pictures, among them being some of 0yril's earlier ones, show- ing that 'Lord Newall had taken a very solid fancy to Cyril's worn, "Comfortable quarters you've got. I3ut, by the way, where is Lord Newall, for of course, this is his place? I beg his lordship's pardon for not thinking of him before," "Oh, he's gone. Ho was to have stayed for a month, but he found a week of my genial society sufficient. Ile fled the festive scene which my cheery presence was rapidly trans - loaning; into a third-class funeral." "And how did he like the picture?" asked Jack: . "I don't think he liked it all, if 1 may judge from his remarks. Eo observed that it wasn't up to my usual form,, and I could have ior given himr-if I hadn't felt that ho spoke the truth!" "A little off color?" said Jack. "Yes, but I shall be all right now. I wanted' a glimpse of you, old man, that was what I wanted. There will be some heart in the daub, now, you'll see." . "And when do you come back?" "Never. Mat is, I'm not sure. I shan't hurry; I like Brittany. It suits me; it's lonely and , quiet and "I3etter than Sautleigh? 'put in Jack, - quietly. "Yes, better than' Santleigh. :Jack, if you love me, don'tmention the place -not to -night, at any rate, There aro chords in the human heart----" "What's' the _natter with • Sant Leigh? I thought the presence of .a. certain young lady 'beautifzel it and made it a distinct and precious par- adise." "For God's sake, don't chaff rne, Jack," he. said, and bis voice shook. "If you .knew all—" "Tell me all," said Jack, quietly. "Dian, I can't" broke out Cyril,. in a smothered voice. "Its, had enough to. think•.af; "ixelpossible to alit into words." "What has happened? Is she dead? "That's a goon word, Jack. Yes, she is dead -dead to me, at airy rate. Jack, I've been almost mad. I think if you bad not turned up this even- ing, I really should have gone mel- ancholy silly. Don't say a word, and I'll tell you -I've lost her!" Jack was silent a moment as he slowly refilled his pipe. "You've lost her?" he said; fiuiet, ly. "That bears rather a wide sig- nificance. ignificanee. What do you mean?" "Do you want the proper word in all its vulgar brutality?" asked Cyril alMost savagely. '13ave it, then! She has jilted me! There, now. you know what's the matter with me, and why you can't find any heart in my picture.I've no heart to t put into it. Yes, she has jilted me thrown nig over as she would cast aside a worn-out glove, and 1'n3. such a miserable imitations of a man that I'm wearing myself into a shadow over her. I3o laughed bitterly.. "You know what the Spanish pro- verb says, that 'man was made for woman, and woman was made for herself.' And it is true by Heaven! 'icor if she is false -and she is -there is not a true, unselfish woman in the world." That's rather a large order," said Jack, wider his breath. "Why nes she thrown you over, lad?" "Ask of, the winds tba,t blow at. even. Why shouldn't she, you mean? Why should the daughter of an earl be faithful to a man who she thinks is only a poor devil of an artist? I know it all, I can see it all. heaven. knows I've thought enough about it tq enable me to arrive at the truth! It was all very well while lavas with her, but when she was left to herself, to think of what she had none, to face the fear of her father -and yet -- oh, Jack, I believed in her up to the hilt!„ "Why don't you write to her?" "Why don't I? Oh, my good Caesar, what a question! I have written to tier -twice. I put my heart into the letter, though I haven't into the picture. I iznplorod her -there, that's enough! I 'begged her to write me one worn, and -'the rest is silence,' as Hamlet says." She would not even write?" "She: would riot even write a word," said Cyril, grimly.
