HER NAME'S SHADOW. By ESTHER SANGBORN. Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press. If she bad not been named Beryl perhaps Miss Stanhope would not have thought herself so hopelessly plain, so thoroughly and utterly unattractive. But that name so beautiful, so poetic al, sounding like an utterance in one short burning word of a womanly beauty almost divine was as a curse to her. It made her morbid. She shivered lest people learn it and smile at the Incongruity. Superconsclous of her angles, her lack of color and dark circled eyes, re flected in every shop window, Beryl wondered why she had been named so Incongruously. She almost cried when a wizened old woman with a parch ment skin, in charge of a fruit stand, answered to the name of Violet. What would she, Beryl Stanhope, be like twenty -five years hence? She could not free herself from the tormenting thought. In old age, with ugliness intensified, she must still hear the musical Beryl applied to her, a name designed for a round, milk skinned creature, with hair like corn silk and eyes the color of a calm sea, the cool, restful 'blue that is more nearly green. , She was reasoning to silence her ever renewed womanly Hunger ior beauty of person when she tapped at the studio shared by her brother and Lindley Wood. Her brother was out, but Wood was painting feverishly, a seldom seen exultation on his serious face. . "Come in, Miss Stanhope," he called hospitably. "Dick will be back in a Jiffy. We are both making hay while the sun shines this week. Miss Cuyler Is kindly posing for us, and she leaves the city Monday. Beryl had not glanced at the model throne, but at this Bhe turned quickly and caught her breath with a little gasp. A girl with the sheen of corn silk in her hair and eyes like a lapis lazuli Bca was silhouetted against a background of palo green plush. A sharp pain that Beryl did not know was envy shot to her heart as she drank in the sumptuous coloring of the nonchalant beauty. Recovering her composure with an effort, she re turned Miss Cuyler's greeting and Btepped forward. "Are you and Dick working on one theme, Mr. Wood?" she asked. "May I see?" "Not one theme," answered Wood. "Dick is doing an Andromache, but mine is only a study, an ideal head. I'll be very glad of your criticism, Miss Stanhope. My work falls to sat isfy me." Lindley Wood's pictures usually re ceived praise from his friend's sister, but for once there were no exclama tory remarks. After a long look she drew back a step with heightened col or. "Wherefore the name?" she asked haughtily. "Beryl?" said Wood unconcernedly, touching up the round white throat on his canvas. "That is Just a fancy of mine. Haven't you names to fit your Ideal types? I would not think of painting a blond Judith or a dark Rosamond. I've always had a liking for tho name of Beryl!" with boyish eagerness "and Miss Cuyler happens to look my conception of it. Do you like the pose?" "Very much," Bho replied, thankful she could say so honestly. But thero was a strange inflection in her voice, despite her effort. Lindley Wood's keen ear caught it, and he responded with swift artistic intuition. "You Bee something wrong with it," ho exclaimed. "I want to know what It isl Bo frank, and tell mo why you do not like my Beryl." Tho living Beryl trembled foolishly as she buttoned her coat. "Seek to picas tho institute committee, not me," she laughed. "My opinion is not worth that doleful expression, Mr. Wood. Tell Dick I shall expect him early." And, with a nod that included the model, she left the room. Over their tete-a-tete dinner that night Beryl tried to question her brother about Lindley Wood's Interest In Miss Cuyler. But sho could not Her brother had been strangely pre occupied of late, and tablo conversa tion was monosyllabic. "Wood hasn't been hero for som time," he remarked suddenly, and' Beryl, surprised in her thoughts, was glad that the doorbell spared her a reply. When Dick returned his friend's name was not mentioned. Beryl sat reading in the little parlor when her brother went out "to pay some calls," he said evasively. When tho door closed behind him she drop ped her book and assumed case. racing up and down the rooms, she assured herself that she would go to work at something presently and for get the episode. But, try as she would, her heart was filled with bitterness that her brother's friend her friend, too, she had once thought should bar been so heartless, so utterly contemptu ous of her as to paint an Ideal Beryl. "He could not have told me my short- Joinings more brutally In plain words," hlspered Bhe passionately. Then, seeing something whtte on the hall rug, she stooped and picked up a card. "Edith Cuyler," she read her brother's Andromache and Lindley Wood's Beryl! In that moment she felt almost as If she hated both artists and their model. A chaos of thoughts danced through her brain, but through It all she al ways saw the pink and white face that had smiled from Wood's canvas above her name. Unable to stay Indoors, she put on her wraps' and went out, but even the clear ozone of the winter's night did not arouse her from the strange thrall put upon her by the card. She turned Into the block where some friends, the Stones, lived, but she had no Intention of going In, for she knew that Edith Cuyler was staying there. Suddenly a pillar of flame shot from a building ahead. In a moment j the street was a confusion of hoarse ' shouts and screams. Beryl stood still : and watched the residents, like a stream of human ants, carrying valu ables to safety. Then, as one awaken ing from a troubled dream recognizes the environment, she realized she was looking at the Stones' house and that it was afire! Attracted by a shrill scream, she raised her eyes to the third floor. The beautiful Miss Cuyler stood In a win dow, her blond bend silhouetted against a curtain of fire. Beryl was consdlous of a commotion In the crowd. Then a man in evening dress fought his way to the burning structure and went up the ladder with eager steps. At the second floor a tongue of flame lit his features, and Beryl almost swooned with horror ns she recognized her brother Dick. The next five minutes were each a fearful, anguish laden century to the watching girl. At any instant the walls might collapse and engulf them both. She saw the cameo-like face, pearl white against that red curtain, bright en with hope as she recognized the coming hero. Beryl saw Dick lift-her from the narrow ledge and begin the perilous downward Journey with her arms around his neck. They reached tho second floor in safety, though the ladder swayed un steadily. Willing hands held it ns well as inexperienced people could, but dan ger threatened every step. Forgetting that she stood among strangers, Beryl clutched some one near. "I can't look!" she cried despairingly. "Oh, if they should fall!" "Why, Miss Stanhope," answered an amazed, familiar voice, "why are you here?" She clung to Lindley Wood with a little sob of relief. "Tell me," she begged pitifully. By the necromancy of intuition he understood. "They are safe," he said, tucking her hand under his arm. "Let me take you home. You are Icy cold Dick is all right," reassuringly. She trembled violently. To reassure her the artist assumed a light, jesting tone. "If Dick and Miss Cuyler were not already engaged they will be now," he went on. "How can I manage, I won der, to make myself appear equally he roic to you, Miss Stanhope?" "Why?" in a gentle whisper. "Because I love you," drawing her Into the shadow of a building away from the crowd. "I was coming to say it, but it is easier to say it here under the stars than it would be in your lighted rooms. I can better en dure your 'No' if you cannot see its ef fect." "Your Ideal Beryl Is a cameo blond," she reminded. "I am plalu" "What has my ideal Beryl to do with you?" he interrupted, looking his sur prise. "My name Is Beryl," she answered. "Didn't you know?" "No!" ho cried emphatically, and in stantly the memory of his words in the studio stood before him in letters of flame and he saw their significance. "Tom always calls you Sis and and I believed your initial represented Bar barn. A blond Beryl may be my Ideal on canvas, but tho woman I love and would cull wife has eyes like deep, dark wells. Don't draw away, dear. Miss Cuyler is ouly a model to me." lie paused a moment, as she did not speak. 'Terhnps thero is some one else," ho said sadly. "I dare not hope that you can care for me." The hand on his arm tightened gen tly. "There is no one else," she said softly, "uouo but you. If you are satisfied I will never again complain or envy my future sister her beau ty." "Why should you?" cried he, press ing her to his heart "Beauty of soul shines from your every lineament, my queen and wife, and don't you know that you are a true type of dark beau ty, anyway?"
