IN AFTER YEABS.
Mrs. Callondef was "at home." Kendal

wby upon earth be had let blf rolatlla

A girl was sitting In a low chair nearly

"Stephanie) Is it Indoed you?"
"It is Indeed." sbe returned. "I have
been watching you for tbe la ten min
utes, feeling so sorry for you."
"I was bored toextlnotlon," be allowed,
milling baok at her.
"Indoed," she pondered reflectively, "it
all depends bow one looks at It, don't you
know. For instance, Mrs. Cullender usu
ally has a lot of celebrities, and then, too,
one may always be certain of hearing real
ly good muilo."
"Do yon still sing, Stephanie?-'
"Yos, Indeed. I am going to sing for
Mrs. Callander presently."
"It is so long since I beard you," Ran
dal Staoey went on dreamily. "Do you
remember those summer evenings when
you used to play and sing to us between

Btepbanle, slnoe those old days. How
long ago It suerosl Is It four or five yours?
Where have you been all this time, and

"But you thought It best not to go and
see for yourself," sbs put in, with a tinge
of mockery In her clear, sweet voloe.
Sbe lifted ber eyes to his and met his
gaze In allonoe a alienee that made him
vaguely unoomfortable.
"I waa young and foolish," sbe said
presently, speaking In a calm, matter of
faot tone, "and at the time 1 did not un
derstand what was perfeotly plain to mo
afterward. It was extremely dense of me,
I admit"
"You are speaking in enigmas," be re
joined a trifle brusquely and awkwardly.
"I wish you'd be a little more explicit."
There was a pause, during which the
thoughts of each bad flown back to that
past be had eonjured up.
"Five years ago bow long It seems!
Much can happen In that tlmo, and much
has happened. You are changed, for In
stance. You have grown visibly older by
those Ave yosrs."
This waa not the Btepbanle be had
known in "those old dnys," and yet how
sweet and altogether desirable sbe seemed I
"Yes," sbe weDt on, "you were different
then, or else a glamour lay over you that i
was too infatuated to see through. Re
member bow I worshiped your beauty,
how I believed you to be all that was grand
and noble" tbe laughing mockery in her
tones made blm wince "so painfully
youthful and foolish of me, was it not?
You told me a fortune lay in my voion
do you reoollcotf and you were inclined
to rave over my little sketches of charao
ter, but still, when I waa left alone in the
world, to sink or swim as beat I might,
you refrained from holding out a helping
hand to me, when a word from you, who
had already won your way In the literary
world, might have saved me many a for
lorn, heartbroken hour, and"
"I didn't know!" broke In Stacey eager
ly. "Ueltove me, I knew nothing, or I
would have helped you. I would have
done anything for you, Stephanie."
"You didn't know I" she. echoed. "But
you yourself pointed out my capabilities,
of which I was Ignorant."
"Yes, yes, I know," bo protested. "One
says what one can to encourage, of course,
but I saw nothing to make me suppose you
would do more than others are trying to
da There le no royal road to success
either in writing or singing, Htephanla."
" Yon spoke differently then, but I sup
pose your words bsd no meaning, any
more than the other things you said."
"Stephanie, you are hard on me, hut
hear ma before you condemn. Justloo at
loast should compel that much. I did care
for you in those old days. I don't think
you have ever been long absent from my
thoughts, but I was a struggling author,
and I bad no right to ask you to share so
vague a future, so I took the wisest course
In going away and leaving you free"
"Still," aho persisted In the samo oold,
sweet voice, "you might bavo shown me
bow to use the literary or musical powers
you told mo I possessed, might you not?"
"My dear Stephanie," he expostulated,
"what would you have done? You had a
certain aptitude for saying clover things,
and you had a pretty, fresh voice of the
average quality, but countless other people
have both too. Where would have been
the use of putting out your poor little, ef
forts against some of our llh-rary and
musical giants? Did you aspire to be a
brilliant authoress like the celebrated
Mrs. Vavasour, for instance?"
"Perhaps I did," she allowed, with an
odd smile. "I was very ambitious In those
days. I am still. I should like to be
greater even than Mrs. Vavasour."
Tho group at the end of the room hud
been broken up and Mrs. Cullender came
toward them. Stephanie rose and followed
Mrs. Callonder into the muslo room.
Stacey watebed her disappear through
the door. What a fool be bad been to let
Stephanie Craven pass out of his lite In
those paatdaysl lie bad not realised It
before. He bsd been a miserable fool, but
be would do better uow. And then across
his musings camo the sound of a voice so
rloh and full and sweet that he started to
his feet.
"A pretty, fresh voice of average qual
ity I" So much for the keen penetration
on which he bad prided himself.
An eager crowd surrounded her when
sbs ended ber song, and Randall Stacvy
could not reach ber Just then.
A tall, fair man waa bending over her
with open admiration, and Staoey felt
vaguely annoyed with blm.

Here perhaps was material for a story.
It might be worked up into a thrilling
tole. Clearly It was my duty to Inquire
modestly into his situation and assist him
with my advice.
"Did you say The Asteroid office?
said I. , ..
I prido myself on this opening. When
the conversation has stopped and you wish
to continue It, but can think of nothing
that does not stew silly or Impertinent, It
Is slways in order to pretend you have
mistaken your companion's meaning. In
this case It succeeded even better than
usual. ,,
"Vn The Planet. Tho Planet Ihey
must have It first. I would not have The
Asteroid get It, a good Item like that, and
exclusive too."
This waa encounmlng. He was a news-
tuiiM-s man. that was plain enough, hut
wby didn't he take bis copy to the office
himself Instead of loafing here on the

I said this because I remember rending
in Emerson or the Blblo or somewhere
that It creates a subtle suit of rrocma
sonry between porsons when they find that
they have worked at the sumo craft In
my youth I used to fold papers In a coun
try town.
" Yes, I was a reporter, but that Is my
last item. Stop I" he oxululiued suddenly.
" You are not a reporter now, are you?"
"No; I have not been a reporter for some

The man was surely crazy, but the story

impulses and pressed a half sovereign Into

barve saved my life!"
Clrcumstunoea prevented me from work
ing up my material for several days, but
my baud was full of It all the time, and
when I sat down at my desk deciding to
write the first serial the plot was clearly
outlined In my mind.
I wrote till lute at night aud then, accord
ing to my custom, went out for a walk.
My feet turned involuntarily toward the
seeno of my late adventure.
I walked out upon the bridge, aud as I
neared the middle I saw two persons en
gaged In conversation almost on the very
soot where I bad been the bumble means

seemed strangely familiar. A moment
later I caught the words, "It it the last

I turned and fled.

have UM.-d judges and courU to give
the color of law to the most lu
