*t the Juhian Âamdemy. When tihe .lock struck noon mie b.d stepped rm lthe pl.tform vfth the. aasumned indifference of an experienoed model. It had not been fatigue that had madle -her tremble with eagernesa te exchange the close studio air for the sunshine of the Champs Elyee& It was Mardi Gras, Mardi Graz in Paris-that is te say, the sun dazzled, the river gleam- ed, the air sparkled with irresistable hilarity ; the very trees on the boule- vards threw out gay littie ribbons of temptations. Anisette b.d promised to pose al the afternoon for George Blackwood ; but before that abe would have at least one glinipse of the revel-satisfy ber thirsty littie soul witb one bastily enatched swalbow of enjoyment, Se she ran the gauntlet of the crowded streets, held here, caught there ; cajol. ed, tbreatened, paarued, until she es- caped into the impasse off the Boule- vard St. Michel, where Blackwood lived. She amrved at the studio flushed, dishevelled and breathlese, -with ber absurd littie bat and her shabby velvet cape aIl powdered witli gold and silver dust. George Blackwood had heen pacing up and clown in a rage of impatience, but at her entrance he threw birnecif into ai chair with a about of relief. "lEnfin, Anisette," ho cried, Ilbut is it adorable of you te corne to-day! " "4V'la!1" said Anisette, proudly, I promised I would corne. I amn here. 1 understand bow mucb depends upon me. Besides, 1 must be in the Champs de Mars as veli as that peacock, Ce- lestine, posing for your friend at No. 25. As for the felly out8ide, that je ail child'e play." She waved her hand with superb disdain, tossed ber bat acrose tbe room, and began at once te prepare for ber pose. Seizing hie palette, Blackwood grasped hie tubes with an unsteady hand. 11e was a young fellow, but hie 25 years had been aIl 1"eturm und drang." He had a worn face, witb higb cbeek bottes; hie forehead, wbere it~ was visible under the tbat.cb of grayish blonde hair, was prematurely iined, aud the eyes, whicb shone under overhauging brows, blinked and stared hike tbose of a cat in the dark. At once imaginative and critical, he was a victim cf that moral bypochondria, niorbid sef-analysis ; with a giant's physique, he combined a wornan'e sen- sibilities, a woman's power of concen trated passion. Intensely preoccupied with hiniseif, he gave but a perfune- tory attention te the experiences s0 many other men were eager to dilate upon for bis heneit ; as a conslequen ce, be could number bis acquaintance8 upon bis ingers-he had no friends. He lived aleone, drinking innumerable cups cf bla.ck coffee, smoking cigar- ant.' She stepped into a shadow caut by a screen, and she seemed te hini to have a luminous quality, like a streak of pale light. He had painted ber ini an artificial twilight, against a piece of purpie velvet that had been worn into grays as delicate as the its over dis- tant his. at evening. The iight bruebed ber shoulde"; and ber out- stretched arma in a tbread of gold, rnelted in the diaphanous drapery loating about ber anýbuMed like a flame in ber bair. T4'wing8 of a great "ea bird bovered behind ber. The abouts from the atm-ot below reached them faintly. Anisette occup ied herseli with fancies as bizarre au the costnmes of the revotera, but ahe neither spoke nom- moved, and thE tmansfigured purity of ber upturnec faca was as changelesa as a mask ol marbie. To Blackwood, as he painted she was as incorporeal as the. evenux4 star. He bcd thought of calling buf picturo that when il vau completed. Blackwood talked unoonsciously U< himself as he vorked ; he painted witi sbt*ing ingers,, stopping. every nom and then t tay ipel,,ta-u herdnnb1>-~o8 'mieeut thriIIe anew by the besuty of ber conception3 the triunlisat, sons. >of \ý>oer, tii uleàà teexpressionoveSme b1 ~t ~l~êa jpy 'e ar .Up __ nd1avehiwithtienasa sshik syourl 'Âdamthingi te ver-bobe- thiug for yor pret.y litt. e boul" -ho added, fionriaing a peint br"u Anisette gloved writh pleasure. "Allons!1 Let us work, thon, lot us work ! " ae crie4. Blackvwood seized bis palette; for an heur the silence vas unbroken. An- isette b.d lost feeling in~ on. of ber foot and ber arme trembled witi the effort of holding thon upraised. Sh. had posed standing -from 8 o'clock till 12, from 1 tili noamly 4. Sh. vas grateful that the February day vas short, but Biackwoed, as the light faded, worked himself inte desperation. Hie b.d exhausted bis tube of madder; Anisette's little figure be.d grown rigid, it b.d lost itas abtie delicacy of movement. ",Baste !"Ilhoe aid at laut, dropping into a chair vitb a gudden spaam of exhaustion;_ his palette arm bcad cramped, bis -painting hand wua tiff as vith cold. Anisette -threw hemself ea:gemly inte ber preparations for departurr' What vild scees of revelry damted ito ber brilliant littie head, pale but a moment before witb faintnese and fatigue ! I I ant this handkrerchief, my friend," ahe cried ; "it if Mardi Gras. And I want this bit of bine silk, and you muet lend me this dm-ol bag with spangles. It will hold my confetti." Anisette tvisted the eilk into ber bright hair, covored ber woru vlvet bodice with the drapery, suepended from ber neck the bàg witb the spangles, and, finaily, when alvas complete, stood on a chair in order to see berseif in a misty and deprecating mirror. Blackweod watcbed her with contempt, centmating ber witb the in- tellectual delicacy cf bis painted fig- u re. Anise tte started biîn f rom bis re fiectiens by balancing hersoîf on ene foot and landing on the other close te bis chair, witb one baud beld eut in a saucy little movemens of appeal. A dark flush mounted inte Black- vood's face. Hie band made a me- chanical jeu rney te his pocket. -"Only a little-a very little, " sbe demanded. Blackwood's eearcb brought te igbt eue silver piece of 10 sous and baif a dozen coppers. Hie sunken eyes blaz- ed at tbe girl, wbo vas about te pes- eess herseif of tbem. "Tiias'e all I bave," ho saiti harshly. Aniseitte besitateti, sigbing deeply, but hem- eyes wero rivetted upon the silver piece. "lLend them te me, " sho said. "J1 viii bring tbeni back te you to-mer- rew, or, better stili, this evening at 7." With a sudden, ewift eep, hem- littie baud grasped the coin, and thon Anisette, laughing liko a chilti, threw birn a kiss and fled. Blacgwood hurled the deor to vcith bis foot. He glanceti around the om-cr like an animal, breathing heavily; bis lips meved into suppressed execra- tiens againet ber, against art, against the wbele accursed city. Anisette rau eut cf the dark im- passe into the Boulevard St. Michel. The- streets vore crowded, mibbons cf colored paper fiuttored frein the vin- deve andti bc aught in the bmanches of tie bar. trees, A Pierrot with an artist's beard caugbt ber sud rained a shower of caufetti over ber boul and shouldere.

As the dlock struck the baîf heur after 7 Anisette turnod inte the bouse vbom-e Blackçwood had bis studio on the top floor. The concierge b.d joined the rovelers, and the sînail flicker of vgs hicb usually emphasized tbe darknoss vas net yet lit. Anisette foit hem- way carefully-she had ber arma full. Thore vas a windov on one landing, and ber ahadow, ladon vith bundies, threw a long grotesque blackness on tho opposite waîl. She avaloveti a little hum-st of laughter. Before Blackwood's door she paused to get hem- breatb ; it wus inteneelly stili. Hem- bande were full, 80 ahe knocked gently with ber heel. There vas ne anzver, and Anisette, trem hi- ing with impatience, deposited ber bundios upon the floor, and putting hem- cheek against the door, called his name in a veice that gradually sank to a whisper. An orange molled out from a bag, and dropped with a soit, nielancboly distinctnese froni stair te atair. Oneocf the beautiful oranges! Her beart began te beat beavily- there was ne sound-no eound f rom within. Sbe turned the bande eoftly and it yielded te hem- teuch.
