Taking her Art with a big A, she allows Raoul Uhlan, a well known portralt painter, to come three times a week to zive her instruction.

She ‘was more than serious, she was even grim about it all. And if Gerry ‘West laughed at her, at any moment of that perilous mood, © everything would have been over between them. But Gerry wus wolemnity, iteelf. “Go on!” ho sald, almost brusquely. “Now Raoul Uhlan claims that he's. lost a valuable commission | through what was done to him. And the young lady who's interested 1r Gunboat Dorgan seems to think be- cause I had him protect me in this way that I've interfered with her claim on this hero of hers.” “In what way interfered him?" demanded Gerry. “That I've—that I've made love to him,” acknowledged the none too happy Theodora Lydia. “Why do you say that?" “Because she’s seeing her lawyer edout it.” “and this man Uhlan “He sent his attorney, a man| named Shotwell, to my studio to ex-! plain that because of his injuries he couldn't paint his twelve-thousand- dollar portrait.

Life, after all, wasn't so simple as she had once imagined it. “He came to make love to me,” she finally admittec, not meeting Ger- ry's eyes. “And I had Gunboat Dor- gan re to give him what he de- served.” Gerry wagged his head. He did so with what impressed Teddie as quite unnecessary solemnity. “Now about this man Dorgan: He he did?” “Of course! . “And be expected to be duly pala for this—er—service he rendere(i you?" asked Gerry, seeming to per: | sist in his determination that things | should not be made too easy for her. | “No, he declined to have the mat: | ter of money come into it at all,” Teddie rather falteringly acknowl- what was the understand-| “There was no understanding.” | “Then what did he do, when the | ” | thing was over?
