His studio was a place for sight-seers, as well as a pleasant re- sort for friends and neighbors. Others succumbed to Lorimer's in- fluence because they found him re- sponsive and congenial, but I imagined that he attracted me because he was my contrast. It was he, himself, who discovered that our natures, beneath the surface, were positive and not neg- ative, and with that discovery he swept away all imagined barriers between us, placing me at once in the heart of the company that haunted his bungalow. He said to me one day as he looped a Persian drapery beliind his model's chair: “Tisdale, you have the depth of artist-instinct, but you haven't the Bift of expression. “You don't even talk. These others, for instance,’— waving his hand in the direction of the chatterers just gone—"these others talk about everything they feel, and, dear boy, they have so little to tell!” His tone to me was like a velvet touch, and his eyes held a steel-blue gleam that made me love to look at him. [ knew that he knew my inner self, and that whatever that self might be, it was valued by him, I shall never forget the kindly sym- pathy that shone from his eyes when he realized one special day that [ needed him to understand me. I had 80one to him, troubled about my moth. er's orphaned cousin Lucy, who had come to us to live, having no other place to go. I wanted to befriend her, to make her happy, and 1 could not even tell her that she was welcome. She was a little daisy maid, blossom- ing into womanhood almost in a day, | under our soft skics and in our south- ivrn California breezes As 1 entered the studio, Lorimer's f elean-shaven cheeks, lis locks of dark haiv thrown ofp torchead, the riendly ey Lis heavy brow s, made o fit crov to his tall form | standing hetore the eauol, 1 can soe | the very dab oi ochre on his thumb He was liis wondertul { L | in the ""l" light 1y woyetiow on the lichen covered t “Yoes, lovimer said, after T had looked tor a long time over his { shoulder withont speaking, 1 feel the :jny ol utterance.

From the crowds [ met in cars and shops, why could not | have taken another woman and been satisfied? My very sllence was confession after his avowal of love for Lucy, and then he admonished gravely, “Tisdale, re- member we are her courtiers, and the courtiers stand aside when the queen passes, choosing whom she will." Oh! but it was hard to give another man fair play; hard for us both. Lorl- mer's face grew thin under the strain, and a river of fire seemed to flow in and out of my heart. At last, Lucy consented to sit for her portrait. Gne day, hidden in sport behind some studio trumpery, we watched her eumter. Lorimer's hand Was on my ‘shoulder. As fortune had decreed, my hamdkerchief lay on the floor. Her own hand had so em- broidered the square of linen that ft seemed too dainty for the pocket of my shaggy coat; but when I carried the sheer and pretty thing, she seemed close. Now, Lucy looked hastily to right and left, then, believing herself alone, she caught up the handkerchiet and pressed it to her lips; then she thrust it into her gown, and as she went away, she covered the placc with ber hand, as though a bird had flown into her bosom. Lorimer gripped my shoulder, but the blood leaped to my face for joy, and then ran back in a tide of ame, because I was so poor a creatire.
