If It had not been for Mrs. Oliver, Fanny still would have been liv ing In one room. Her Innate care lessness was a fearful handicap In making a living. After several at tempts at other things, Fanny had resigned herself to clerking In the stores employing cheap, untrained help. But this last summer Mrs. Oliver had, sent her an advertisement from Hlrshberg & Co., wholesale dress manufacturers, for a model. by MATEO. HOWE FARNHAM "1 fsbelled at first, but In those days I kept hoping Laura would get well. But the point of this mild confession Is that in the course ot time I have taken on most ot the perquisites and privileges of .a bachelor. Even my sisters-in-law- and they are arch conservatives grant my right to come and go, call and entertain and be pleasantly en amored now and again, quits as If I had no ties." He smiled, and ths smile and his blondness mads him seem very young. "I am telling you this," be went on, "because I very much hope to see a good deal ot you." Fanny on the other side ot the hearth smiled back. "I hope you' will." - . "You belong In an age that had leisure for charm and gracious noss," he continued. "You art a little impetuous perhaps, and you ' make mistakes, but I see you striv ing to live richly and beautifully." "You pay pretty compliments compliments that warm the very cockles of my vanity," ab said lightly, "but I'm forced to confess that none ot them are deserved. I am probably the most Inefficient person on the face ot the earth." I "Naturally. You were fore-or-dalned to be taken care of.

Mr. Hirshberg took one look at Fanny and engaged her at a salary which seemed sheer affluence, after the hand to mouth existence of the past years. Fanny shared a bathroom with a. reader for a publishing bouso, Anne Lawson. A few months after Fanny had moved to her new apart ment she went one evening with Anne and two others to a neighbor ing club to Improve her mind by listening to Shakespeare. Tbe place was crowded and Fanny had to take a place by bernolf at one side. The reader was a distinguished elderly gentleman with an Impres sive manner and a dyed moustache, who delivered the lines of the ghost of Hamlet's father In an awful bass, Hamlet's In baritone, the queen's In tenor and Ophelia's In high falsetto. Fanny, crouched low In her chair to hide her uncontrol lable laughter, finally sat on the floor burying her bead In her arms. : "Hadn't yon better get out ot here before you're put out?" said an amused voice at Fanny's ear. Fanny had noticed a tall blond man In a dinner coat leaning against the wall with folded arms; he was her rescuer. Fanny managed to pull herself together as he led the way out by 9 side door. "It was exactly like the story of ths three bears," 6be gasped In ex-Dlanatlon It was Impossible after that to be unfriendly. The man Introduced himself as Uarrelt Wcntworth; Fanny gave her name. "Look here," he said nt her door. "I've, had an awfully good time. I know Anne Lawson. If she says .I'm all right may I come to see vou? I'll bring Anne If you like, put I'd much rather come alone." Fanny learned his story next day. He was the son of a one time fa- mous editor ot one ot the better literary magazines, and hold an Im norlanl executive position in a well known conservative publishing house Me was educated In this country and sbioad. He ' now lo bis early forties, bad married In bis twenties, and his wife was an Invalid who for the last 111 years bad bad to live In the South. On bis second call Garrett spoke in Fanny of bis wife and tlicir en forced separation. I don't know why you are living in one room a very charming room and supporting yourself. But I do know It's only a question of time until someone snatches you away to bo chatelaine of his castle prob ably sonic strong, ruth less, abom inably handsome, prince of finance.' loathe him already." "A castle In Spain," said Fanny. Perhaps some day 1 will tell you ray story. But not now. I m too busy now trying to pick up the pieces and fit them together." She told him far sooner than sbe oxpected. About 10 days later Gar rett came In one rainy Sunday afternoon tor lea. At dusk, as Fanny still sat at her tea table and as Garrett lounged at his ease In her one big overstuffed rhalr he said simply, "You know 1 love you, don't you?" " '' Fanny glanced at him quickly In genuine alarm and distress. But she saw that be was smiling and smiled back In glad relief. I remember you told me you were priveleged to be mildly en amored. I'm flattered." "This is far more serious. I've loved you almost from the first, certainly from the second meeting. Perhaps 1 shouldn't have told you. since 1 cannot ask you to marry me. But I promise not to worry or distress you. I think 1 can be happy, reasonably happy. If you'll Just let me go o. loving you ana seeing you occasionally. The hard est part Is not to be able to take care of you. It was then with her bead bent over I he tea table, one hand stir ring the dregs of sugar In her cup. that Fanny baldly sketched her story. She was hoping for a little reassuring sympathy, but she was utterly unprepared for the warmth of Garrett's rage. He sprang to champion her as against the cruel ty ot the wicked, and was Insistent that she let him engage sf lawyei and sue for the right to see bei child. But Fanny was adamant.
