It was only when the hours drag-

eyes to wander.
When an additional ten minutes
had ticked themselves out, and then
a five and then a ten more, the old
fellow became so nervous that he be- '

the library and dining -room, scanning
each group and solitary individual he
passed, until, thoroughly discouraged,
he regained his seat only to press
a bell lying among some half -empty
glasses. The summoned waiter lis-
tened attentively, his head hent low
to catch the whispered order, and
then disappeared noiselessly in the
direction of the front door, Peter's
fingers meanwhile beating an im-

chair.

Jack's eyes danced. Was this what

for? Now it was all clear. And
then again he hail not said a word
about his being in the Street, or

there ever such a good Peter?

The engineer said she was extreme-
ly well, never better in her life, and
that he was delighted to meet a son
of his old friend—then, turning to
the others, immediately forgot Jack's
existence, and for the time being his
daughter, in the discussion still going
on around him.
The young fellow settled himself
in his seat and looked about him— I
at the smoke-stained ceiling, the old
portraits and quaint fittings and
furniture—more particularly at the
men. He would have liked to talk to
Ruth's father a little longer, but he

sive element among the members
picked the institution up bodily and
moved it that far—as later on they
did.
Not that he favored any such in-
novation: "Move up -town! Why, my
dear sir!" he protested, when the
subject was first mentioned, "is there
nothing itt the polish of these old
tables and chairs, rubbed bright by
the elbows of countless good fellows
that appeals to you? Do you think
any modern varnish can replace it?
Here I have sat for thirty years or
more, and—please God!—here I want
to continue to sit."
He was at his own small table in
the front room overlooking the street
when he spoke—his by right of long
use, as it was also of Morris, Mac-
Farlane, Wright, old Partridge the
painter, and Knight the sculptor. For
years this group of Centurions, af-
ter circling the rooms on meeting
nights, criticising the pictures and
helping themselves to the punch, had
dropped into these same seats by the
side of Peter.
And these were not the only chairs
tastily recognized as carrying special
privileges by reason of long usage.
Over in the corner between the two
rooms could be found Bayard Tay-
lor's chair—his for years from which
he dispensed wisdom, adventure and
raillery to a listening coterie—King,
MacDonough and Collins among
them, while near the stairs, his great
shaggy head glistening in the over-
head light, Parke Godwin held court,
with Sterling, Martin and Porter, to
say nothing of still older habitues who

"Yes," rejoined Morris, a quizzical
expression crossing his face—"that
was the curse of it. He was born a
101)0 and had a stomach instead of
bring born a god without one. As
to living ---he didn't really live—no
great painter really lives until he is
dead. And that's the way it should
be—they would never have become
immortal with a box full of bonds
among their assets. They would have
stopped work. Now they can rest
in their graves with the conscious-
ness that they have done their level
best."
"There is one thing would lift him
out of it, or ought to," remarked Har-
rington, with a glance around the cir-
cle. "I am, of course, speaking of
Troyon."
"What?" asked Morris.
"The news that Roberts paid thirty
thousand ,dollars for a picture for
which the painter was glad to get
three thousand francs," a reply which
brought a roar from the group, Mor-
ris joining in heartily.
The circle had now widened to the
filling of a. dozen chairs, Morris's
way of putting things being one of
the features of club nights, he, as
usual, dominating the talk, calling out
"Period"—his way of notifying some
speaker to conte to a full stop, when-
everhe broke, away from the facts
and began soaring into hyperbolics—
Morgan, Harrington and the others
laughing in unison at his sallies.
The clouds of tobacco smoke grew
thicker. The hum of conversation
louder; especially at an adjoining
table where one lean old Academician
in a velvet skull cap was discussing
the new impressionistic craze which
had just begun to show itself in the
work of the younger men. This had
gone on for some minutes when the
old man turned upon them savagely
and began ridiculing the new depar-
ture as a cloak to hide poor drawing,
an outspoken young painter asserting
in their defence, that any technique
was helpful if it would kill off the
snuff-box school in which the man
under the skull rap held first place.
Morris had lent an ear to the dis-
cussion and again took up the cud-
gels. '
"You young fellows are right," he
cried, twisting his- body toward their
table. The realists have had their
day; they work a picture to death;
all of them. If you did but know it,
it really takes two men to paint a
great picture—one to do the work
and the other to kill him when he
