A SHIFTED VIEWPOINT} Rissa Jordan steed looking into a show window when she should have been on her way to Mrs. Cassidy's, where she had a room up three flights of "stairs with a peek-a-boo window squinting. out of the roof. There were two things in the world Which she wanted with all the "want" that was in her.- One" of" these things~was a willow plume! : A great bouquet of willow plumes formed the chief attraction of the brilliantly lighted window, and it was colored But only one of these plumes en- chanted Rissa. What her eyes saw and 'saw only was the magnificent pink one that topped the whole clus- ter. It came to her that if she had that plume on a black velvet hat the new floorwalker must look at her in- stead of over or around her as he had a way of doing. (I'd be pretty in that pink willow, I know I would," Rissa sighed. s Rissa Jordan had been nine months in the city, and for seven months she had sold petticoats. Her nine months in the city had been lonely ones, for she was shy and did not 'make friends easily. She found people so "different" and not altogether trustworthy. She was in- deed learning all the time. She kept to herself and put every cent she gould spare in the savings bank against that rainy day which Miss Pride, the high nosed, spectacled spinster' who sold corsets at the op- posite counter told her was a feature of a city working girl's existence. "The savings bank is the best friend you can have," Miss Pride said. "If 1 were pretty--if I had that pink willow plume," thought Rissa, as she climbed the steps to Mrs. Cas- sidy's front door and inserted her latchkey. 4 + Smells of dinner greeted her. She was hungry, for her luncheon had consisted merely of a sandwich and tea. Her breakfast before that--in her own room---had been more tea and rolls. Rissa crawled up to her room with "the peek-a-boo window and sinking down on the bed felt just for a few moments that she was going to break down and cry. It came to her suddenly that life was inconceivably hard, and would not be less hard the longer she lived in it. She thought of Miss Pride and wondered what kind of a lifé shé had. She looked calm, but it was the calm that suc- ceeded actual storm. The din ; bell was jangling at the foot of 'The stairs as she went down. She slipped into' the dining room and found her place at the long table. - The soup was handed round, and when she reached the bottom of her plate and began to feel somewhat relieved Rissa realized that the young man at her Iéft was passing her the crackers for the fifth time. She turned her even as the rainbow. $® 3 WHIG, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1014. ~ eyes met. His were blue, set in a pinky-brown face that had the least suggestion of a dark stubble on it.

She was very glad. It saved her snubbing him. It was amusing, however, to think how differently she would have acted if she had bad that chance to be nice to thé fleor- walker. . After a long time Dan Powell came back to Rissa's side at the table. The landlady had moved him again. This time, somehow, she was glad to have him «there, for she was very lonely. Many pink plumes had gone to grace the velvet hats of richer girls, 'but still she had not realized her wish to possess one, and the floorwalker, that ideal of ideals, had taken Eva Spencer, the cashier, to the theatre twice and to dinner. once in a single week. So it was that Dan Powell's smile and eager in- tention to be friends meant some- thing to Rissa. She was quite gracious to him dur- ing a week of stormy 'evenings; then one night he asked her in a whisper if she wouldn't like to go somewhere with: him. "You'll know which is the best play. I've not been yet," he said. A "Neither have 1," Rissa admitted. And then they looked at each other in mutial astonishment and laughed - From that evening they fell into the way of going to the theater once or twice a week. And once, when Rissa was sick with a cold for two days, Dan sent her a new book and a bunch of carnations, which bloom- ed in her water pitcher for quite a week. But it was not the carnations that made Rissa like.Dan so much more than she had ever dreamed she could like anybody beside the floor- walker. In the meamtime the floorwalker had shifted his attention from girl to girl, leaving a trail of mourning hearts behind him. One could not fancy Dan Powell as ever beirrg thus mercurial. One could be quite sure if he liked her that he would like head and looked at him, and their her forever. And Rissa was begin- dan naturally felt above a Powell' He seemed, however, suddenly to} {ardent admirer. a 1 ning to he sure. Moreover, she liked the idea exceedingly. ~ And then one afternoon the great and unexpected happened. For the floorwalker sauntered up to Rissa's counter, and leaning upon it, bent all the enchantment of his dark eyes upon her. He was aware of her at last. "Will you go with me to the theatre to-night, Miss Jordan?" he pleaded, in tones that were intended- ed to make one feel that a refusal would blight his life forever. Eva Spencer and the rest were looking on with impotent jealousy and rage and Rissa knew it. She folded and ntoldef a ce tin petticoat three ti by e answered: "I'm very sorry, Mr pt tingill," but I have another engage- ment." 33 She told Dan about it as they were walking home from the theatre later. The March wight how as warm as simmer. Dan laughed. "I guess you must like me quite a jot," he said. "I do,' Rissa replied, » "Then will you marry me? Rissa say--" and he told her it all. "I'm getting $150 per as chief engineer of the lighting plant," he confided. It was the first time Rissa had ever known anything definite about his iob.

"You can have my pink willow now if you want it, Rissa. I'll sell it to you cheap." There had been times when the stght of Edna's pink plume set Rissa's heart to shaking terribly. But now she only smiled. "Oh, wil- lows are aH out," she said carelessly. "And, besides, I've got over wanting one." _ LIVED A KILLING PACE. Noted Painter's Death Due to Cards and Wine, Paris, May 27.--The death of Raphael, the greatest painter of the Italian school, 400 years ago, is at- tributed by Dr. Cabanas, of Tours, to irregular living. 'In collaboration with M. Dezar- rols, who has made exhaustive re searches into the archives of the principal French and Italian librar- ies, Dr. Cabanas has issued a broch- ure, in which he describes the illus- trious artists' devotion to cards and the table. The author asserts that Raphael, when .already enfeebled by incipient consumption, wilfully neglected his health out of chagrin at being re- pulsed by a certain noble lady of the Medici family, of whom he was an She, it is stated, addressed him a letter concluding: "A word to a too audacious gen- ius: Painters should rest content with their models, and leave the Medicis to their splendid solitude."
