Suddenly, however, he gazed intent- ly and with a semblance of awakened interest at the model. ` The pose wus rather striking. A beery black velvet gown accentuated that peculiar trans- parency of coloring which accompanies a certain deep rich shade of auburn hair. A dull green background recon- ciled tbe brilliant coloring of the upper part of the picture to tate dusky mys- teries of the lower canvas. The pose of the figure was saved from insolence only by the wiusomeness of the face. Carter pulled lazily at his pipe and contineed to gaze at the girl with bait closed critic•tti eyes. "Nice color," he finally asserted. "By .Tore, that's a wonderful pose:" with a sntiden burst of enthusiasm that startled the girl. ":Are you eugaged after you finish with Thompson?" The other artist opened his Mouth; then, with a quiet smile, closed it again. The girl smiled, too, a little smile that curled her upper lip deli - iciously. - "No, Sir; I'm not engaged next week," she replied quietly.

The girl watched the man with fas- cinated eyes. He worked with the pre- cision and energy of a splendid ma- chine. His face shone with positive inspiration. As for Carter himself, he was bliss- fully happy. With .the true artist's sensitiveness he felt the absence of the usual clash between the half hearted, prosaic models and the ideals he strug- gled trutsgled to embody- by their aid. The .at- mosphere backed a single inharmoni- ous element, for the girl seemed to throw her whole personality into the work. At. fast he emerged from . ills trance sufficiently to observe that a white line had appeared around the girl's com- pressed lips and that she wavered as site stood. "It must be time to rest," he ob- served. "Why," as be glanced at the clock, "you've been posing for nearly an hour. Why didn't you rest?" he demanded reproachfully, The girl sank into a chair with an =used gleam ill her eyes. "I never saw anybody so oompletel'yr lost," she said. '"I couldn't bear to disturb you."

At the end 'of the last day but one of the two weeks Carter realized that the central figure of 'his canvas was eompleted, and the realization brought n poignant feeling of regret. The rea- son for it came when it suddenly flashed upon him that tomorrow was Miss Parks' last day.

The man brushed his band across his eyes in n quick, desperate little gesture. He seemed to have brushed the old non- chalance away. He was fairly trans- formed. "Want you!" he gasped. "Want you! Don't you know I want you more than anything fa the world?" "But you don't understaud," the girl began finally in a voice that was some- what smothered by Carter's broad shoulder. "There are reasons." she entailed, with 'dignity, "why 1 can- not ;marry you:" "I am all ears," nvowed Carter sol- emnly, "but yoni won't mind if I say right now that the reasons won'tinake a particle of difference, will you?" "Oh, but they Will. I've been deceiv- ing you," she confessed haltingly. "Go on," commauded Carter. more soberly. All kinds of dreadful pos- sibilities loomed up before him. "You'll never love nie when you. know," she continuer!, with visible ef- fort. "I—I'm not a model at all. I'm .

"You there, Jim?" interrupted a fa- miliar voice from the hall. The girl fled to the model stand and took her pose. Carter dabbed lazily and with perfect composure at his canvas. Billy strolled in, an amused look in his eyes. "Nice model," be remarked. "Can I engage you for next week, my pretty maid?" Carter turned about lazily and re- garded his friend.
