"Yoet'd better go home to bed," he seid, throwing down his brush. Without a word she went out to the dressing room., When she came back, ready for the street, she was very meek. "Shall I come back after lunch?" "No—not till te-merrow," He didn't turn around. She opened the door to go, A panic came to him. She might not come back to -morrow! "Aimee!" "Yes, Mr. Neilsen?", "I didn't mean to be cross. I was disappointed—that's all. You Won't fail me in the morning, will you? If you aren't up to it, telephone me." "Of course I won't fail you." A tear rolled over one of her lids. She twist- ed about and swallowed. "I --I'm awf'ly sorry, Mr. Neilsen, but—but I hadn't–Fad any fup in.

His ideas on such things were a generation back. He didn't want to discuss it with her. At the same time, it rather toughed him to have her admit it. "Well, please don't do it again," he said finally. "I was afraid you'd let me go for good, if you found old." "For good!" He swept se hand in the direetion of the 'sketches. "Do you thin I'd let ,y,e,.q..go now, after making all those,?' "I'm ,awfly glad! I told that fe;-. low those highballs had a terrible kick." "Have you another date with him?" "Y -yes, but it's for Saturday night, and we don't work Sundays. AnyhoW, I'll be careful." Neilsen sighed. When she had gone he sat down and stared around. Hundreds 'of sketches of that girl! Any one of them was saleable as it etood. He knew they were good. Beautiful, lithe young Aimee! He was putting her into the best work he had ever done., He hoped, modestly, to iminortalii,e her a little; and she could go out and drink too my highballs 'with some body's college chum! He felt a destructive mood descend- ing :upon him. He feared that mood; so he turned his back on the studio, clapped on his hat and went out. He had a vague idea of going somewhere to think. He took the subway to 125th street and ferried to New Jersey. He rode on a trolley car to the .top of the Palisades. Leaving the highway, he scrambled down the cliff and through undergrowth until he came to a com- fortable ledge of rock. Here he sat down and Iighteds pipe.
