SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING INSTALMENTS. a, a last—but that {s telling th’ country girl can conquer city life, a care DAN’S REPROACHES. HREE or four suppresséd jeers Ap came ¢o Barbara's ears as she left the studio, She could hear the giggles and ‘‘Can you beat it!" of several of the girls while one scream- ingly demanded, ‘Wonder who sho thinks she is, anyway? Fat chance she'll have of getting up in the art world by herself.'* But Barbara shook herself as if’to throw off the Bohemian atmosphere of typlanky artist's studio. That did not represent art to her, She wanted a real studio, a place which represented her with bric-a-brac, oriental rugs, gold and iavender curtains and soft cushiony window seats where one might go and admire one's half finish- ed picture. Greenwich Village with its half bare studios did not appeal to her. She would move uptown—away from artist atmosphere, and create her own studio, a place of beauty and work, It would not be a place to en- tertain Bohemians and people who just dreamed about what they were going to do. For several blocks Barbara saun- tered along to her own little rear bed- room in the village. Then she heard the quick, energetic footsteps of Dan Dover and waited for him to come up to her. “You treated my friends fine to- night," he began, ‘I went to a good deal of trouble to introduce you to one of the best art editors and artiste in this city, and after I get you into his studio that is the way you treat him, The idea of breaking up the party like that!’* “I'm frightfully sorry," she said, “but ething within rebelled. I simply couldn't abide those girls with their make-up and their cigarettes. I didn't come to New York to pose as an artist. ‘I want to work and get ahead and I know I could never do anything among that type of people." “Needn't have been so rough on them just the sam: continued Dan. “Can't you let people down easily? There's going to be a big dance there later and I sort of wanted to have you seo a bit of Village lif ‘T have a good imagination,” sniffed Barbara. “I suppose the girls drink quite a little, hang over the men's shoulders and dance thoso horrid fox-trots. Then’ I suppose some of the more talented ones kick the chandeliers, or at least kick as high as the place where the chan- deliers ought to be, Then they drink some more and the party breaks up at about 3 in the morning. No, thank you, i don't want to know that type of people.” Dan was sullen and said nothing more, He had admired Barbara, even hoped to win her hand in marriage as time advanced, but now he felt he was escorting a prude about, a “greenhorn’’ from the country who would peer into olty Iffe, sniff, carry her head a little higher, and after painting several pictures which would be promptly rejected return to the country and remain there the rest of her days. But there was something very ene! getic and forceful about the slim, willowy girl beside him, Did she look ike the type of girl who could be beaten? Had the factory girls downed her? Had old Smithy walked over hey? What was this persist ance, this desire to beat things in her? Would that spirit get her any- where.

I'm going to get @ small room uptown and work every evehing.”* Dover experienced & sudden change of mind. That was what he ought to do. He wanted to paint. He had planned to do it for two years, but his friends—these very friends in Greenwich Village—had kept him from working. He sported about with them, stayed up late nights and talked a great ‘deal about art, but he never did any of the things he planned to do when he was back home. “Barbara, you're right,” he sud- denly exclaimed, reaching out for her hand. “Dash it all, I'm going to move to.

Four hours later, at 2 o'clock, Rodrigo Trian: sailor, won $100 reward by being the first to shout “Lg Terra,” land, His cry confirmed the vision of Colum- bus; America lay five miles distant, only @ line of trees above the waves. Had that oar been smaller, or not present at all, the discovery of the New World might have been post- poned, for the future discoverer was then two leagues from shore. Colum- bus was born tn Genoa, Italy, in 1436. His father was a wool comber. Fired by stories of pigates on the Medi- terranean, the boy studied geometry, astronomy and navigation at the Un!- versity of Pavia. Ho entered the Genoese navy when he was fourteen yars old and commanded his ship when he was thirty-four.

Quitting the sea he became a map- maker, specializing on the west coast of Africa, then just being discovered Yet his interests reached west, en couraged by stories of islands locatea far distant. Finally he became con- vinced that sailing 2,500 miles gue west from the Canary Islands wdiild bring him to Japan. In 1474 he ap proached the Portuguese Government asking for aid. The financial support required for his venture was small, smaller than the amount now expended in building a yacht for an international race Yet at the end of ten years he had succeeded in convincing only a small group of men that Iris undertakiny was practical or even worth trying They played him false. this idea they tried to steal t which would come to him should succeed; with a good crew they salled west of the Azores when, fearing they might fall off the edge of the ocean which they still half suspected to be flat—they were stricken by fright turned about and sneaked back to harbor, Thinking to interest Ferdinand and Isabella, joint sovereigns of Spain, in his scheme he entered their service, but the monarchs had heard rumors of his dream and took no stock In St Discouraged, having waited seventeen years for an interview, Columbus turned to Charles VIII. of France. As he was travelling along the road he fell in with Father Juan Perez de Marchena, who urged the navigator to eppeal to the Spanish monarchs again. An interview was arranged Columbus met Ferdinand and Isabella and was rebuffed. Hearing of the final refusal, Luis de Santangel hustled to the Queen's chambers and con- vinced her that Columbus had an idea worth trying. She offered Colum- bus the financial aid he needed and Ferdinand followed with his support On April 17, 1492, the agreement was signed. In three months the expedition was ready to depart, the three ships which made up the party being manned by pirates, prisoners released,from jail on condition they would join the ex- Pedition—in all, an unreliable group of men.

You got them fall hats Saturday. I saw you." ‘Those cheap things!" cried Mrs. Jarr. “Why, I only got those for them to wear to school and save their Sunday hats."" “When [ was a boy I had one change of shoes," said Mr. Jarr. “That was put on and taken off. When the weather was warm I went barefooted and it made me healthy!" “Yes, and you lived tn the country,"” seid Mrs. Jarr. “How ridiculously you talk!'’ “It's you that's talking ridiculous- ly,” replied Mr. Jarr heatedly. “You fly from one extreme to the oth rt @idn't mean that our children should 0 barefoot. I simply said I used to. I do object, however, to filling their heads with foolish notions. If they had one good pair of strong shoes for every day and a better pair for Sun- day and holidays, that should %e enough. But look at them! They even haye dancing shoes!" ‘I try to ket them with nice associ- ates," sobbed Mrs. Jarr, “but you would prefer to see them associating with ragamuffins. And so I sand them to dancing school, and if they go to danoing school they have to have dancing shoes, don't they?"* “Well, I suppose they do,” growled Mr. Jarr. ‘*These are hard times and if we don't save a little money now we never will. But I'm going to take the children downtown and buy them some strong, sensible shoes that will last them, and I won't pay a big price for them elther."* Mr. Jarr was back in an hour with the two children, It was hard to say who was the proudest—the children wearing fancy shoes of the latest style or Mr. Jarre beholding them in turn. “There!"' he said proudly. “Those cost eight dollars a pair, but I tell you my children are going to hay: the best, and it’s cheapest im the lony run.’* 1
