There wait a Iohh of pemaps ten minutes In time on this account. In the meantime the flumes spread rapidly, and when the firemeu got Into action the entire rear portion of the Htore was enveloped in flames and black smoke in great volumes was polirliiK out through the front door. Withlu u few minutes after the fire appaiultiH was placed In nctlou three streams from the hydrants und one I rt) in the chemical engine was playing on the flames, which were soon sub dued. ) Comparatively little of the stock of goods was saved, only a few trimmed hats and the Hhow cukcs in the front room being carried out. .Mrs. Shu mate had just laid In a large stock of goods, and had it all In the rear room, where the lire started. This was entirely destroyed or reddened unfit for use in the millinery busi ness. The insurance was compara tively light and will not cover a third of the loss.

Ills friends declared that Herbert Wyndbam would one day be recog nized as a great artist. "Genius will out," they Initiated, grieving secretly orer the nndlsguUable poverty which clung to man and studio. s They were Jubilant In this declara tion when Miss Ruth Grevtlle sat to hlru for a portrait. Bhe was the first butterfly who had drifted from the gilded renlms of society Into the ob scure studio lu Herkimer street. With box came a breath of luxury from u world which bad long become a stran ger to Wyudham. Her parents arranged with the nrtlat for her sittings. Now and then nil three turned and looked at her, settling between them the pose in which she was lo be (minted. The girl herself said little. She appeared sweetly anx ious lo have the portrnlt painted ex actly ns her parents pleased. Of jier sonnl vnnlly she seemed to have uotic. Wyndham Httrred with keen pleasure ns he noticed her niiprecintive scrutiny of bis pictures. She evidently under stood something of art. Wyndham saw behind the roses and lilies 6f ber fnco lu Its frame of curling hair a mind to be explored. He was eager to begin the portrnlt. When be did his hand was unsteady. To the excitement of a first profitable order of the kind he had longed for was'added t,he excitement of painting a face whose kindling beauty batned while It enchanted him. Some u n formed idea of delightful chats about art had lingered in his mind, to lie brushed aside like a cob web at her first sitting. She was cold. with n culm serenity which held him aloof as effectunlly as some lmpnssnble barrier. Nothing of haughtiness tinged her manner. It seemed merely not to "WON'T YOU f'tUlK TO HER UK ?" SIIH AaKKU Sllll'LV. occur to her that nay social Intercourse could exist between an aristocrat of Klmwoixl avenue and a dweller In thli small studio at the top of three flights of dingy stairs.

He met her unre sponsiveness wltsi like reserve, her un eomiuuulciitlvcness with silence. Hut ns lie paluteil In the Hues of her graceful figure and the bloom of lier face, grew under his hand upon the canvas lie was acutely conscious of every lovely contour and tint, madly rebellious that this clrl. with her wide, intellectual brow and soft, sympathetic eyes, never vouchsafed htm a ataxic unnecessary word, never looked bis way with an even momentary sym pathy. "Your hair battles mel" he declared one day, laying down Ills brush. Something In his tone startled her. "Are artists always so Intense?" she asked herself. She raised her hand to the ripples or her pale brown hair, where golden lights shifted and changed with a warm glow as alluring as It was Im possible to express. Her violet eyes widened. "Shall I change my position?" she asked. lie rushed Into an explanation of the illttlculty of painting light In hair. She looked Interested, ibut made no com ment. Wyndham saw what her observant eyes noted every mskeshlft lu the studio. It hurt 111 lu to feel that she comprehended every particle of the poverty of Ills life. This hurt the more when, toward the last, lie thought that lie surprised a look of pity In her e cs. He hardly expected her to tell lj l ill at purling that she meant to send ail her friends lo hltn to ln painted he rimse he did It so beautifully. Ili:t ihe did. and -.he kept her word.

In n little memorandum boos In an Inside pocket he kept It, whero he could peep at It wheaevcr he Jotted In a date or looked up a reference. One day the glory of life seemed to flood his world again, for Ruth Ure ville came to his studio. A charity ba zaar was to be held, and she bad charge of the art table. She wanted a picture for ft, and she thought be might contribute some little sketch. He promised more than that. Ue would superintend the erection of her stall and decorate It himself. She wondered at his enthusiasm. When he refused payment for the work she was embar rassed. This bsd not been what she Intended. Nor did she realize till lonj afterward, that a busy artist could not spend two days overseeing the erec tion and d "corn t Ion uf the most beauti ful booth lu the bazaar without some pecuniary loss. She yviis charmed with his work and unlioiit to be gracious, nlthough she hud lii-st cast a startled glance at the distinguished looking man in evening clothe who approuched her when Wyndliain became a purchaser at her stall. Ilerauve !;: re:rl her thought so well he made but a small purchase there, a trifle decora ti 'J by her own hands. She saw him kp?u-.I freely at another booth. After that Wynilham removed to a better studio. lie would try to forget her. he told himself. He did not suc ceed. Kveiy frou-frou of silken skirts upon bis stuli-s made bis heart pound expectantly. One day she come. He hoped she had not noticed his pallor Mild nervousness when he wel comed ber. Ho fer.rcd she had, for a sort of wondering Interrogation flashed over her mobile features. Bhe wanted to have an engagement made for somcwork. she said. His hands still trembled as be pulled out. bis little book and turned over Its pages. From between tliem there flut tered n rose geranium leaf. A flood of crimson rushed to his forehead. Ills eyes of guilty consciousness betrayed all the story of his love to her glance of swift Inquiry and comprehension. He saw that she recognized Ihe leaf, but he could not conceal the tendernesi: with which be picked It up. "It was such a pretty leaf so won derfully formed" he stammered apol ogetically. She looked at blm bravely, a flush fading from her own cheeks, and ex plained her errand as though, the Inci dent of the leaf had meant nothing to fher. Hut as he wrote down n date (here suddenly rushed over her the re membrance of his faithfulness, his proud 'dignity in poverty, his mcrlesty in hard won success.. She paused upon, .the threshold and held out her hand. "Won't you come to see me?" she asked simply. Her eyes were filled with n light be had never seen in them before. In their depths he rend sur render. "Come soon," she added tremulously, withdrawing her band, "for I have long wanted to sny this." Avoiding Direct Testimony. The wealthy parlshoner had with him his pastor, and miles of road were thrown into clouds of dust by the plunging automobile. "Halt!" commanded the officer, but no more attention was given to blm than to the Hitting telephone pules.

"I never use such lan guage." "We must pvotect our officers from profanity." Intoned the Justice. Then, turning to the clergyman, "Perhaps this gentleman, who will not make n misstatement, will toll us whether or not the devil was mentioned lu this controversy." "Y'our honor." pleaded the clergy man, "I ami my brethren refer to his Satanic majesty so frequently that any additional allusion to hint would not Impress Itself upon me sufilclently to remember the Incident."
