He was thinking of his early years in America when he had first known Austrelitz. Even in those days, be had liked the doctor because he had al- ways talked to him as though they were colleagues. And when Bigelow’s parents had decided upon their di- vorce, it had been Austrelitz who was chosen to explain the matter to the y.

Bige- low was accustomed to explaining that he had inherited Austrelitz. who had been a close friend of his father. “She is such a perfect specimen of her type,” continued Bigelow, “so sleek and well groomed-~-so poised.” Austrelitz nodded. “And she looks.” he agreed, “as if she knows every- thing there is to know about life and finds nothing worth while.” “Exactly.” “Whereas,” pursued the doctor laughing -oftly, “she really knows nothing and finds everything worth while. She merely has the gift of in- spiring one’s imagination. That ts what makes famous courtesans. They need not be beautiful; they need not even be young: they need not ve clever nor talented; but they must be able to stir a man’s romantic imagina- tion. This intangible quality—which 1 believe was called ‘glamor vester- day—is only a kind of mirage. Austrelitz drank nis branay and drew out his cigar case. With lov- ing care, he selected a cigar, punc- tured the end and lighted it. Bige-| low admired the long, slender, clever fingers.

So in the years while he was growing up, he had seen Austrelitz only when the doctor spent a holiday in France. But somehow, they had never quite lost touch with each other. It was Austrelitz who had written him of his father’s death. It was Austrelitz who had hurried to Paris to make the vain effort to save his mother’s life. Then—as he had done many times before—the doctor had urged Bige- low to return to America with him, if only for a visit, but Bigelow had never felt disposed to go. He had come to look upon Paris as his home. His friends were all there. The Letter From His Aunt UT in the end, there had come the letter from his aunt that he felt he could not ignore: My dear Clarke: Forgive me for coining to you with my troubles, but after all, you are my nearest male relative and 1 never have bothered you before. 1 am at my wits’ end, this time, however, £ am so worried about my step-daughter, Anne Phelps. You will probably not re- member her as she was so little when you went away and in those da}s you were not very tolerant of |little girls.

Bigelow had made instant inquiry among his friends, but although many of them vaguely recalled Vronski’s name and a few had even met him, nobody seemed to know anything whatever about him. So Bigelow nad cabled his aunt that he was coming over himself to make Vronski’s ac- quaintance. ... “Well—2” said Austrelitz sudden- ly, interrupting Bigelow’s reverie, “Yes, I suppose so,” murmured Bigelow. i They had anoth r drink and sepa- rated for the nigh.

However, Mr, Li was partner on Sunday to Mr. William Pious Bill and when it was necessary for Mr..

Grandpa Stow ers said both were because he won the match himself and a couple of Mesa and Albury voices piped up and said they had won, so to end the argument let us all believe that each of them won the match. | WANTED | Small House About $1,000 | SEE US AT ONCE OVER-SEA i} i] | j REALTY EXCHANGE OVER-SEA HOTEL BUY — SELL — RENT | a ing lessons last Saturday and lat-; that defeat when they meet the ; Miami Beach club. | The Beach Combers are the |same boys who played here last year under the name of Ida M. | Fisher High.
