Its an honest occupation, he averred. Do you do thisregularly. She pursued with an effort. Off and on. Theres good money in it. Oh. She mourned again. Then youre doing this so that you can afford to buy paints and canvas andand things to paint me, she accused. It isnt fair. Id do worse than this for that, he declared valiantly. Less than a fortnight later she caught him doing worse. She had ceased to speak to him of his chauffeurdom because it seemed to cause him painful embarrassment. It did, and should have. There had been a big

Oh. She cried

Oh. She cried out, as if something had hurt her. Julien, for once startled out of his accustomed poise, uncovered and looked at her apprehensively. Her voice quivered a little as she asked, very low, do you have to do that. Whyerno, began the puzzled julien, who failed for the moment to perceive what of tragic portent inhered in a prospective afternoon of golf. Her next words enlightened him. I should think you might have let me help before taking aservants position.

And continued sculpting. Iii as julien had prophesied, it was only a question of time when he would be surprised by his patroness in his true garb and estate. The event occurred as he was stepping from his touringcar to get his golfclubs from the hallway of his gramercy park apartment at the very moment when bobbie holland emerged from the house next door. Both her hands flew involuntarily to her cheeks, as she took in and wholly misinterpreted his costume, which is not to be wondered at when one considers the similarity of a golfing outfit to a chauffeurs livery.

Ask the dominie.

Ask the dominie. He says that julien crawled out of a gutter with the manners of a preux chevalier. Anyway, he never swallowed any of my knives. Though hes had plenty of opportunity. Its very puzzling, lamented bobbie. Why let it prey like a worm i the bud of your mind. Youre not going to adopt him, perhaps. For the moment bobbie hollands eyes were dreamy and her tongue unguarded. I dont know what im going to do with him, said she with a gesture as of one who despairingly gives over an insoluble problem. Umph. Said the bonnie lassie.

be nice, sweet maid, and let who will be clever, declaimed the bonnie lassie, who was feeling perverse that day. You want me to define his social status for you and tell you whether youd better invite him to dinner. Youd better not. He might swallow his knife. You know he wouldnt. Denied the girl in resentful tones. Ive never known any one with more instinctive good manners. He seems to go right naturally. All due to my influence and training, bragged the bonnie lassie. I helped bring him up. Then you must know something of his antecedents.

everything, is my authority for the statement. To her went the patroness of art, on leaving juliens grenier that day. Cecily, she said, in the most casual manner she could contrive, who is julien tenney. Nobody. You know what i mean, pleaded the girl. What is he. A brand snatched from the potboiling, returned the bonnie lassie, quite pleased with her next turn, which was more than her companion was. Please dont be clever. Be nice and tell me

Tell me, if you have the power, who i am. Am i an orphan, as has been told me or have i parents yet living, affluent, and high in society. Do they seek me and cannot find me. Oh. Let the fates speak, old man, for this world has given me nothing but pain and shame.

along, and one day a vagrant wind brought in the dangerous element of historical personalities. The wind, entering at the end of a session, displaced a hanging above the studio door, revealing in bold script upon the plastering brangers famous line dans un grenier quon est bien vingt ans. Did you write that there. Asked the girl. Seven long years ago. And meant it, every word. How did you come to know branger. Im french born. In a garret how good is life at twenty, she translated freely. I

caspar. What are you going to do. Dont. Youll embarrass him frightfully. But he was already heading off his prey at the exit. Bobbie saw her painters face flame into welcome, then stiffen into dismay. The pair vanished beyond the watchers ken. On his return the gilded youth behaved strangely. From time to time he shook his head. From time to time he chuckled. And, while bobbie was talking to her other neighbor, he shot curious and amused glances at her. He told her nothing. But his interest in his supper returned. Bobbies didnt. To discuss the social aspects of menial service with a practitioner of

it who has been admitted to a certain implicit equality is a difficult and delicate matter for a girl brought up in roberta hollands school. Several times after the restaurant encounter she essayed it trying both the indirect approach and the method of extreme frankness. Neither answered. Julien responded to her advances by alternate moods of extreme gloom and slyly inexplicable amusement. Bobbie gave it up, concluding that he was in a very queer mood, anyway. She was right. He was. The next episode of their progress took the form of a veritable unmasking which, perversely enough, only fixed the mask tighter upon julien tenney. By way of loosening up his wrist for the open season,

within it. The old man preserves his equanimity, says he has a fortune to tell her. Fortunes are best told at midnight. The stars, too, let out their secrets more willingly when the nightking rules. He bids her follow him, and totters back to the little parlor. With a wise air, he bids her be seated on the sofa, saying he never mistakes maidens when they call at this hour. Maria, who rose from the table at the entrance of the stranger, bows, shuts her book mechanically, and retires. Can there be another face so lovely. She questions within herself, as she pauses to contemplate the

Know him. I know him. He bunked in with me for two weeks at grandpr. He was captain of a machinegun outfit sent down to help us clean out that little wasps nest. His names tenney, and if ever there was a hellion in a fight. And seewhat hes come to. My god. Well, dont cry about it, advised the girl, serenely, though it was hard for her to keep her voice steady. Theres nothing to do about it, is there. Isnt there. Retorted the youth, rising purposefully. Im going to get him and find him a job thats fit for him if i have to take him into partnership. Of all the dashblankeddodblizzened

functionary, developing a sense of humor under the stimulus of a twentydollar bill, procured him on the spot an illfitting coat and a black string tie, and gave him certain simple directions. When the patroness of art next observed the object of her patronage, he was performing the humble but useful duties of an omnibus. Miss holland suddenly lost a perfectly good and hitherto reliable appetite. Nor was she the only member of the supper party to develop symptoms of shock. The gilded and stalwart youth on her left, following her glance, stared at the amateur servitor with protruding eyes, ceased to eat or

theater party, important enough to get itself detailed in the valuable columns which the papers devote to such matters, and afterward supper at the most expensive uptown restaurant, miss roberta holland being one of the listed guests. As she took her place at the table, she caught a glimpse of an unmistakable figure disappearing through the waiters exit. And julien tenney, who had risen from his little supper party of four stag hastily but just too late, on catching sight of her, saw that he was recognized. Flight, instant and permanent, had been his original intent. Now it would not do. Bolder measures must be devised. He appealed to the headwaiter to help him carry out a joke, and that
