Confessions of an Artist's Model "Why- I returned a little puz-1 zled at his invitation to remain, "you know I must see a few artists this afternoon. The work won't come to me unless I go after it." "Quite true," he "it must certainly keep you busy." He was made still no effort holding to my release hand it. and He I was looking straight into my eyes but his glance was perfectly passive now and I no longer feared him. I smiled and that encouraged him, to hope speak.

I haven't offended you Betty. I lost control of myself, but really dear, I like you," and he squeezed my hand. "There are different ways of expressing admiration, Mr. Hughes, besides embarrasing a girl." "I'll admit I was too hasty," he responded, "but you see I have no one in this world; no one to love and I'm lonely, do you understand?" "Yes, I do understand and I'm sorry. But there are so many nice girls in this world.

You surely meet some, so of course there if no reason for your loneliness." He smiled, "But they don't all appeal to me and the one that does, I don't appeal to, so there you are, what is a fellow to do?" "Why just do what I suggested to you once before, get married." "Well," he replied laughing, "you know what my theories are on that subject?" "Yes, and they don't quite appeal to me. I think you have the wrong idea and I am sure if you think different, you will be. happier. course we all have our own ideas about things, so far be it from me to urge you to do anything that wouldn't appeal to you." "Well, would you marry me then?" he questioned. I reflected a moment, then said, "No, I don't love you in that way and I knaw don't love me either.

Why DoTh hardly know each other and I realize as I hope you do that you have allowed your animal instincts to gain the better of your will. Now I must be going," He clasped my hand tightly and smiled as he released it. "Come again," he said, and I responded, "Good-bye." That occurance gave me something to think about. I marveled at my narrow escape. I wondered what instinct had warned me not to yield to his passionate embrace.

.1 liked Mr. Hughes and his touch had thrilled me and made me feel weak. I knew I would never see him again however, I was afraid of myself. I unconsciously strayed into Mr. O'Hara's studio.

He was my confessor and I hoped he would grant me absolution. Altho surprised to hear my admission of weakness, he only said: "If you felt weak, accept the tact, with more. courage And and if you resolve err to and do recognize the fact, set up good actions, more powerful than your mistakes and reap the reward of these." "But, Mr. O'Hara," I pleaded, haven't done anything wrong but oh--I Was so near it-" and then the tears began to come and a lump formed in my throat. couldn't speak but I poured out in tears and silence the repentance that surged in my soul.

and after the storm, a rainbow The flood of tears was a peared and I was in a jocular mood. "Mr. O'Hata," I began, trying to eradicate the traces of my tears with a smile, "you are the best friend, I have and I hope I never prove unworthy of your friendship, and it- I added, "you weren't married, I'd express my appreciation by a hearty hug." He laughed, "Betty," he reproached me, "I see you have a dual nature. Sometimes xou are A little angel and at others a vera Itable devil." "Well, beware of the demon," warned him laughingly and he assured me that he stood unafraid. CHAPTER XXVIII.

In the weeks that followed, Maid and Wife BY CAROLY BEECHER. The Life Story of a Society Girl I put out my hand. An impulse I could not resist impelled the action. "Thank you -everythit 1 said. Before I could take my hand away Kenneth Hunt had raised it to his lips.

"You have nothing to thank me for- dear," he said, softly. Then immediately gave the waiting chauffeur the order to take me home. "Shall I take you to the car?" he asked. "No, please, I will go but I noticed that he watched from the door until I had entered the elevator. During the ride home I became more calm.

It would never do to worry mother about my experience. I had decided that it could do no good. tell her; that it would only cause her to be unhappy over me, and my work. So when I went in i tried to appear as usual. But her eyes were very sharp.

and she said anxiously: "You have had a hard day, dear, can tell by your looks. Is that other girl still away, and are you doing her work?" "Yes, to both your questions," I answered, glad that Miss Cantor's absence could be used as an excuse for my white face. "Well, you lie down until dinner table, then you are going to bed. I'll help undress you just as I did when you tiny girl. I am afraid yowerare working harder than you otherwise would to make things for me." "Not a bit of it," I returned.

"You forget that we are rich now that you have SO large a check from Harold. No, mother, you have absolutely nothing to do with my work; only to make it easier. Just think what it is to come home to this when I am tired. You should have seen me in Mrs. Murphy's boarding house, making tea on the gas when I was almost too tired to stand.

"Dear Sheila!" and mother left a light kiss on my cheek before she left me to finish preparing our dinner. What should I do without her? Chapter OH. After dinner mother did as she had threatened, and helped me undress and then tucked me in bed as if I were two years old. I suggested reading a while, but she vetoed it immediately and put out the light opened the windows before she left me. I fell asleep almost immediately and slept soundly until morning.

felt poLfectly all right again, and yet Defore we finished breakfast Mr. Hunt telephoned to say that it I felt at all badly I should remain at home. "You see, you were ill yesterday," mother said after I had hung up the receiver. foolish; I did not realize until many hours later. "She says she can dance." "Give us a dance!" "A fancy dance." And I felt myself being lifted upon a table amidst these shouters.

I suppose I tried to dance. I felt my arms and legs going thru the motions of some sort of step measured to the music and the beating on the floor, of the revelers, but I was blissfully unconscious of how ridiculous I must have looked. I couldn't see a thing. The blur had not been lifted from my sight. The rhythm of the music I heard lured me on and urged me to exaggerate the performance I was suffered to go thru to pacify the carousers.

Suddenly I realized that my feet were becoming as heavy as my head dull and I felt myself slipping slipping and, I dimly heard that exclamation of pain, as I felt my feet give way and realized too late that I had made a misstep. I suppose I fainted, for I rememfound bered myself nothing on a after sofa that in the until par- 1 lor below. Several girls were attending me, bathing my head and rubbing my limbs. "What happened?" I questioned one, trying to recollect where was. She informed me that had fainted but would be all right in a little while.

I told her then that I wanted to rest for a few moments! I felt rather weak. She agreed that it would be best and return to the hall. She seemed quite young and had a soft pretty face and I presumed that she might be a model. She did not question me but sat by my side quietly, her pretty blue eyes expressing sympathy, and recalling my past actions, blushed for shame. She seemed to notice but said nothing, and this only tended to increase my embarrassment and I longed to escape.

I made a desperate effort to thank for her was not necessary for to stay kindness and assured her that it with me any longer when she might be enjoying herself in the "Yes, but today is another day, and really, mother, I was not ill, only overtired and nervous." "You are sure you are able to go down today?" "Quite sure; and, mother dear, don't worry about me." When I reached the office and opened my desk the first thing I saw was the letter from Miss Canwhich I had opened, but not read. Well, it would have to go unread until I reached home. So I tucked it into my coat pocket so I would not again leave it, and straightaway forgot all about it. Naturally I felt a little nervous and more than a little anxious as to how Mr. Rogers would act after the experience of the previous day.

But he seemed to have himself well in hand, and aside from a perfunctory bow when I passed him on entering. the office, he appeared absolutely oblivious of my presence. One could not help but admire the man's sang froid, nerve, whichever it was. I felt myself flush, it made me self-conscious and ill at ease. However, I was soon absorbed in my work.

Reports from Washington had had an unsettling effect on the cotton market, and it seemed to be the general impression that it was time to Sell. I was glad to be kept busy. did not want to think of the night before. Once during the morning I found myself counting the days until should receive my next letter from Clark. He had been absolutely be depended upon each seventh day.

Now it seemed a long time to wait. A long time before I would know whether he would find any difference in Sheila Andrews, a rich man's daughter, and Sheila, Andrews, the working girl. Mother, without meaning to, had instilled a doubt in my mind. She had said that there was a glamour about a gay, beautifully dressed, carefree girl to most men. I felt that she was right.

And while knew that Clark was an unusual personality, he, might, in this regard, be no different from others. And to be honest, I must say that I did not know my own feeling in the matter. You see, I was not sure I wanted to give myself Clark. I was not sure I wanted his masterful love, and the domination he would exercise over me. To be perfectly frank, I did not know my own mind.

And why should didn't know him. I had a memor to whom I had given my allegiance--in a way, a phantom lover, who had filled my girlish mind, and whom I at times feared would disappoint the sober, serious woman I had now become. To my surprise when I reached home I found a letter from him. he ahead of time?" mother asked, smiling. "Indeed he is; about four days." "Well, read it, dear.

You will have plenty of time before dinner." He wrote as follows: was kept continually busy and I worked very often the evenings. Mr. Parkhurst was becoming a good dancer under my instructions, but I was too busy to profit much by his lessons in French. I felt confident, however, that I would master the language in due time and he considered apt scholar. All my spare time I spent in making my costume and on the evening of the club's dance, I arrayed myself in the garb of a Persian dancer.

Mr. Parkhurst represented a rajah and had a huge striped snake wound around belt which I was supposed to charm. I assured him that I would be no snake charmer when there were so many handsome fellows around and if, he didn't take care, I would begin with him. The decorations of the dance hall and the costumes were wonderful. I had never witnessed such a gorgeous spectacle before.

It thrilled me and dazzled me. I was sparkling with vivacity and as the merry A waves of laughter reached my ears, I felt myself being lifted from my physical body--and floating like an elf of mirth I found myself in the midst of this babel. The dancers were masked and 80 of course I was unknown to them as they were me and this ignorance seemed to urge the demon, which Mr. O'Hara had warned me I possessed, to assert itself. I seemed to be unconscious of the liberties I allowed the masked revelers to with me.

I had lost my escort, Mr. Parkhurst, in their midst, but I was glad for I wanted to evade him. I danced first with one admirer and then another until my hrain fairly whirled and I was obliged to follow my last partner to a table at the farther end of the hall where mad revelers were stimulating their fine feelings by imbibing the cordial that the demon himself had brewed. I sank into a chair beside him, exhausted from my last turn of the tango. The sight of the intoxicants did not appall me as they ably would have done on a less liberal occasion, and when the cordial was raised to my lips, I was satiated with the atmosphere.

So I drank and liked it and asked for more. I was not quite under its infuence. I was conscious of my a actions but everything before my eyes seemed dark. "Why did they turn the lights out?" I questioned the beside me. He laughed and replied, that the lights weren't out that I had been drinking too much.

"Oh, I assured him; know what I'm doing, but I can't see," He encouraged me to take another drink, explaining that it would brace me up and so I followed his advice. It did indeed brace me up; braced me up to be more hall above, dancing. She flashed back, "I've had the good time I'm going to. have for tonight, so don't be uneasy about my missing anything." I did not wish to question about any disappointment she may have had but I wondered what had brot her pleasure to an end. "Well, I don't see why I should be lying here any longer," I told her and I made an effort to rise.

The pain seemed to numb my every sense and as I made a second tempt to stand, realized that was impossible for me to do so. "Oh," and the tears were falling fast, "I've broken my leg!" "No?" she screamed hastening aid me in returning to the sofa. "Shall I call a doctor? Who did you come Good Lord, hope it isn't true!" and she urged me to control myself and not hesitate about giving her the information she desired. So I told her to seek Mr. Parkhurst.

"Tell him that I had an accident and wish to be taken home." Not many minutes later she turned with him and her pretty face was wet with tears: I turned from her touched to the core and half whispered to' Mr. Parkhurst that I had broken my leg and begged him to take me home and a doctor. "Betty, Betty, how did it all happen? Whatever possessed you leave me? I had been seeking all evening. "Please, please," I replied, "don't question me now and don't be severe. I was carried away by spirit of occasion and I myself in the crowd- and oh been so foolish.

I had buried my face on his arm and was sobbing like a child. (Copyright, 1919, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)
