A Thrilling Serial of Devotion and Mystery

"Potion more deadly than a mad iof tooth." Noel Crawley atood, palette to band, In front of an easel In Ms splendid studio. There was a delightful prospect from the big bay window, one of the pleaaantest prospecta to London the great River Thames, ban tt.su' pint down the tide, crowded , ateam boats hurrying to and fro, Just a hint of the mighty traffic In the great pool below. - Opposite, wharf and factory, a broken sky line, the huge - Doulton pottery works, one of the landmarks of London, all wrapped In a gray, misty atmosphere, cold yet mysteriously suggestive, and a joy to the eye since the great dead artist taught the world to see ft. ': . - - Outside the bay window -Was a little terrace 'set with a' row of quaint bar trees in great pots, for all the world as if they had come out of a child's Noah' Ark. , The finest view in London, said all who came to Noel Crawley' fourthfloor studio flat The address was 40a Orosve nor road; London, 8. w., but on certain Spring nights, when the band' some and. popular painter, gave a stu dio party and. strung a chain of Japanese lanterns across the terrace outside the bay window and somebody played a mandolin and somebody else sang to a -mellow tenor-voice, -then,- leaning down and casing Into the water, with the myrSrirgW twlnkirng on Its' smooth surface, one might nave thought It an enchanted night in Venice instead of a fashionable .party in the heart pf the great Empire City of the world. v : ; - . Within the studio was nobly proportioned. There was not much furniture, but what there was showed taste allied

to opulence. The usual things were

there, of course the Eastern embrol

derles, the pierced Moorish lamps, the plaster cast, the beautiful rugs on- the

polished floor, the bjg eaales with their canvasses draped; 4 but other things tave this particular studio a note of idivldualty. r - There were a great many flowers arranged so that, they seemed to. be growing, and. on several small tables

a heap of books, pome beautifully

bound, some just paper covered, but the latest of every Kind,' in several

languages. There were some : very

comfortable chairs, but two particu

larly comfortable, and one of them was heaped with enormous. bizarrer cushions of black satin J embroidered with gold. In short, the individual note" was clearly more feminine than masculine. - .t-. A Question of i ' J V Man's Personality. . - . Perhaps the explanation of this was in the personality of.JJoel .Crwjqy himself. He was extremely handsome, very tall and slight and graceful, With a. fine head covered with short, crisp dark hair, splendid black eyes, a broad forehead, sensitive apse, and really noble , month and .chW... Bui there ; was just that touch of ovepreflnement to the face that, .though' certainly net stamping him as nn effeminate, might arconnt for tie feet that he, gave; a trmlnent plade to" the softer graces 6f "fo. Frr f?c was strong as well as hprt'frl. prrt not onlv v strong but conl'- Thre were lines abflut'he moih tb"t ronrdIcied Hba dreamjr ey, ihv'rr tht the man was a man of action und of stpong passions, as well " " visionary." Jt was the. face of pb H"'t eternally at war with the lowor inPt!nctscf a strong and imperious nature. Per han-ttatr mort-indiTldTrar"notwtf all In this beautiful studio was expressed 1n the" mass" bTsltetchesT In i water color, in oils. In pastel, in pencil, in chalk: three on small a?el9. the rest tacked on to the wall, tlje most complete of M framed ovr the mantleplece and all renreeitlar one woman. It was no wortdpr ti.t Nol rwwley painted herN stytrKed hec, drey her, In every Vonceivhle foe. in every, possible llaht In turp, with i a great hat shddowlng her eves, with her bust and"houlders- gleamtng thai5pery,: full length, or ftily the head, stretched on a couch of skins, or reading, with the lamplight shining on her hair. 8uch a woman, surely, an artist could paint all his life, and seek no other model, and never tire... 'It was" a glorious face, a face of paulon and mystery, with enormous eyes, strange, haunttarrbetfeechTng "eye's, with" a soul looking out of-4hetn that-was-for ever asking andnever satisfied. . Tha woman Noel Crawley - loved, surely, and none else.

On this ray and Tbllly-afternoon of early March the artist -was striving to catch tbev last-rays- Of clear 'daylight

for a certain effect. But his heart did; not: seem to be In his work. He mixed his colors desultory, aad gazed vwith disapproval, at the canvas' on the easel. It was nt a portrait, but an Interior, strong and masterly. In treatment of the 'mingling of natural and artificial light. - T And as be stepped hack, for the twentieth .time in hatf an hour, with a 'frown drawing his . finely,-pencilled black brows"1 into a straight line. ' the door at the 'other end' of. the studio opened and a woman came In unannounced. , The Woman of the C : J ketches Appears. It was the woman of the sketches, the woman whose marvellous face looked at one from every corner of the studio. Crawley turned sharply at the rust-' ling skirts.- ' - . "Zoe!" he exclaimed, "I didn't expect you today." His handsome face bad grown very grave, almost stern, certainly there

was no joy to bis voice, hardly any warmth.

The woman advanced into the room.

8be held out both her white-gloved hands, slipping one arm through her huge sable muff, and he took; them

and clasped them gently. The glorious

eyea of the aketcbea looked wistfully at him, at If aba! expected a warmer greeting. . - 7

She was far more beautiful than any sketch, because she was alive. And so

magnificently alivg, ao'fUIl "of warmth, color, vitality. I rresjs table magnetism!

The great eyea pleaded, wept, demanded, adored; the full red lips trembled; the soft little bands caressed the man's stroked them, held them to her lovely creamy cheeks. Her whole soul

was in her face as she looked Into

his, and ner soul worshipped him. Obviously the woman jwho loved Noel Crawley! But the artist looked ao grave, ao uncertain, so embarrassed. Obviously, then, not the woman whom Noel Crawley loved.

"I bad to comr, Noel," she said in a low rich voice vibrant with all that her face expressed, .betraying the woman of emotional temperament who has no thought, no dreams, ho , hope; no desire that Hoes not 'center in one man. "I couldn't stay away. You said

yesterday you--were -going to Parle to

morrow. Tesrriuve ta tcirBur w said good

bye. I didn't want you to Come today."

"Why have I given my heart Into

your aanaa that you may torture, me?" "Hush. , Zoe, don't talk like ; that. Come into the other room, It's, cold here. I'll make you some tea,' and

we will smoke's cigarette."

They passed out through a second door f the same side of the studio as the one by which she had entered.

sac ciunrto bis arm and looked up Inttt bia face with those . bewildering eyes that,Vby a miracle, seemed to leave him .unmoved, or moved only to intense embarrassment. '. , -The room they entered Was the room of a sybarite.- full of beautiful things, mellow paintings, old china, bronjes, marble, books, old "-se tapestry on the' walls, old rose curtains of heavy ribbed silk with golden fringes, old rose -velvet piled underfoot. .The air was scented with gardenia

and tuberose; there were bowls of exotics everywhere; on a small table by the finF.a tea equipage, glittering silver, egg-shell china; covered dsb.es, dainty heaps of cakes. Everything for comfort, tor beauty, everything chosen with unerring taste and betraying the occupation of a man who had ample

means- to- satisfy his craving for a

perfectly harmonious life, ; fThe' woman sank into a deep chair; thenshe rose again to unfasten her furs.'' She was most richly dressed like a queen. The sable wrap that she let fall from her shoulders was magnificent, 'a garment covering her from head to foot and obviously fashioned from picked skins "and not' bought ready-made. 'She was no longer very young, a woman perhaps of twentyseven and her superb figure had all the grace and general .curves of ripened womanhood. She wore a plain gown of velvet, falling In' rich" simple folds, with old lace at the throat and the gleam of diamonds fastening a great bunch of Pffrtaa violets at her breast. A broad brimmed hat of pale violet felt wreathed round with one enormous shaded plpm'e, rested on her hair that was very' abundant, and slightly coarse in texture, and In color resembled nottaIng.so much. as -the lighter stripe of.a tiaer's coat with the sun on it.

Crawley luisled himseie with the sil

ver kettle Every now and then he looked furitlvely at- the-woman., She was sitting with 'her elbows wither knees and her chin In her hands, and there -was a great dark -brooding shadow on her face. He could not understand her. As a rule she would not let him stir hajid or foot; it was her pleasure tq wait on him like a slave. Minutes passed. The kettle sang on the burning spirit, but still she did not

.apeak..- x-- ... k

"Zoe," the man said, going and standing over her, "why did you come tqday?" !"""" ""You are going to Parls tomorrow?" she asked in a arrange, dull voice, so unlike her natural tender tones. " "Yes,"' ' ' 1 j J "'To Be Continued.

How to Feel WeD During MxdtBo life Told by Three WWh Learned from Experience.

The. Change of Life is a most critical period of a woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain. Women everywhere should remember that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so successfully carry women through this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Read, these letters:

Jtilladelphia, Pa. "I started the Change of 112s five years ago. I always had a headache and backache with bearing down pains and I would have heat flashes very bad at times with dizzy spells and nervous feelings. After taking Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I feel like a new person and am in better health and no more troubled with the aches and pains I had before I took your Tvonderful remedy. I recommend it to my txtid for I cannot praise it enough.0 Sirs. Masoabbt GiLissman, 759 X. Ringgold St, Philadelphia, Pa. Beverly. Mass. " I took Lydia E. Pinkham's

Vegetable Compound, for nervousness and dyspepsia, when I was going through the Change of Life. I found it very helpful and I have always spoken of it to other women vho suffer as I did and

have had them try I: and they aisf nave received good results from iV Mrs. Gbobod A. Duxbab,
