Leone yawned and wandered once more around the big studio, where there was a fascinating clutter of eas- els and paint tubes, sheaves of brushes in ancient pottery jars, portfolios spilling their contents in dusty cor- ners, cabinets of curios from every corner of the world, and the melan- choly assemblage of Jim's unsold pic- tures. “If poor Jim's bread and butter de- pended upon the sale of his pictures— the dear boy would have to sharpen his teeth on crusts!” giggled Leone as arry you downstairs.” she picked up her erminé stole and eanny . muff. “I suppose he is dashing around in that nerveracking car while I am waiting here for him-—prebably for- gotten that he invited me to dine wit him. Heigh-ho, for the particular form of lunacy some people call ‘ec- centricities of genius.”” She went to the front window an looked down into the street. The limousine had disappeared. Henri had followed her instructions to return home at once. The rcom was rapidly growing dark, and Leoine lighted a lamp and sat down at the table to write a few caus- tic lines to her most forgetful brother. “There!” she murmured, as her lit- tle hand folded the paper. forget that lecture very soon, Master Jim!” A moment later she had extin- guished the lamp and was groping to- ward the door. It resisted all her ef- forts to open it. The knob simply re- fused to turn.

There was no fire escape and the great windows in the glant of the roof dld not offer hope cf escape. There wu no possibility of Jim missing her for hours and he would only seek the studio after he had been home and had been reminded of the dinner engage- ment. This was the second time he had forgotten her. last. “He won't have another opportun- ity,” half sobbed Leone as she leaned drearily against the window that looked out on the flat roof of the build- “You won't' h dlflppnarod d at him; “but, you see, when a chap's ¥ LAKELAND, FLA., FEB. 10, 1914. Her ankle hurt—she believed that she had sprained it, and he was so very ¢ angry. As for the man, he stared back at her with increasing surprise. One does not expect to find on the roof of a studio building at eight p. m. a beau- tiful girl, clad in silk and velvet and furs, with golden hair tumbling from under an ermine turban and a sofa pillow clutched to'her breast. “I am Miss Colson,” said Leone coolly. “I was locked in my brother’s studio and I didn’t want to wait—so I jumped down here.” The man glanced up at the open window in Jim Colson's workshop., “You jumped from there?” he asked incredulously, and as she nodded, he added quickly: “You are hurt—wait a moment and I will fetch you a cup of coffee—then, perhaps you will let me At the kindness his altered tone Leone promptly sat down on the sofa pillow and sobbed while her rescuer “I hope you will pardon my rude- ness,” he said when she had fimx‘u q the cup of hot coffee and could sr up against it—the lost egg and the end of the loaf mean a whole lot! Oh, there'll be plenty more tomorrow,” li» went on hastily, as a pitiful little ery escaped her, “only it was inconvenient, you know. I'll run out and get a bite to eat by and by.” Leone smiled again, but a wave of pity swept over her heart for she felt very sure that his light tone covered heavy heartedness and that he would 80 to bed supperless now that she had ruined his omelet. But there was nothing she could say or do to mitigate the circumstances; although the gold mesh bag was: crammed with money, she could not' man whose supper she had spoiled. Leone would not let him carry her arm, and as they made slow progress down four flights of stairs to the street he told her something about himself. It seemed that he was an illustrator; ! he had turned out some fair stuff, he been slow. While he was awaiting the payment for some magazine sketches he was {llustrating advertisements. | “Shocking, {sn't it?” he laughed. “I think it's splendid!” cried Leone. “Why, I always look at the advertis- ing sections of the magazines the very first thing.” \ “I am encouraged,” he cried almost It would bo the gally; “some of them pay very well— but you know, it isn't the sort of stuff I really want to turn out.” “Of course not,” agreed Leone so- berly.

The moon peered over the roof of the taller building and saw Leone struggle to her feet. She was gasping for breath and she felt bruised and beaten as she picked up her scattered belongings—stole and muff and hand- bag, and as many of her amber hat- pins as the moonlight revealed. “Silly idiot!” muttered Leone, Himp- ing toward a skylight which showed a yellow patch of light. “How do I know whether anyone will let me into the building? My story sounds incredible —but—ah!” She peered down into the room beneath. -It was a small room and meanly fur- nished with the barest necessities. A convertible couch bed, a table, a few chairs, bookeases, and some painting paraphernalia. The canvasses were turned face to the wall, A young man, gaunt of frame, grim of countenance, was cooking some- thing over a small gas stove. Present- ly he came and laid a table for one person. It was a meager meal when it was set forth—a pot of coffee, a half loaf of rather dry-looking bread, and a most appetizing omelet hot from the pan. At that moment, when the young man was about to sit down to the meal—and somehow Leone knew that he was hungry for it—she arose with the intention of finding some stairway that would lead into the building. The sight of the appetizing meal had made her hungry. As she turned away her heavy gold mesh bag slipped from her careless | grasp, struck the glass skylight and disappeared from her startled sight. From belew came the sound of a| crashing of china and a surprised shout. Two minutes later a door burst open and the gaunt young man, ex- cited and wrathful, appeared on the| roof. Leone hur rried m\\ ard “I am so sorry, plain; “but I was tryir way down and I and—" “You spoiled a perf: tried to ex- to find the dropped my bag let!” he interrupted trg ly. “Worse luck, too—the last egg [ had.” Then, with a closer look at her, his tone changed to one of astonishment. “What urder the sun are you doing up here?” Leone held her head haughtily. She was hungry and she was Dear to tears. | ¥ good ome- | (Copy ‘mmk‘n& for himself when funds were In the Colson mansion, James Col- son, Jr. was plunging into his over- coat in remorseful search for his pret- ty sister. He had entirely forgotten his dinner engagement with Leone un- til long after the appointed time; then he had arrived home to discover that no one had seen Leone and no one knew where she was. When Leone came limping into the house it was to fall into Jim's arms. In the warm library, where her father and mother had taken anxious refuge during Jim's absence, Leone told her amazing story and tossed the sofa pillow at her brother, “Loomis—Carl Loomis? Well, I should say I did know him. Best chap in the world. Didn’t 1 ever tell you about the agreement he made with his father? You know old Loomis is roll- ing in money—could buy the governor out several times, couldn't he, sir?” grinned Jim. Mr. Colson smiled indulgently and passed a hand over Leone's bright hafr. “Is he the youngster who wanted to be an artist and his father told him if he could support himseif for one year by his pen and brush he would settle a hundred thousand dollars on him and send him abroad to study?” “That's Carl Loomis,” exclaimed Jim. “He told me the other day that the year would be up next week—said he had been on the ragged edge of starvation half the time, but he had worried through.
