THE STQRY'OF "ZQE"

Levered ge smacked his leg. A look of Intense relief crossed bis face. "Send a wire to Mr. Crawley at once," be said, "asking him to come here immediately." Then he returned to the "Circe" salon. Crawley finished his breakfast in state of comparative ease of mind. He did not fully realize his danger, and there had undoubtedly been a certain sort of satisfaction In the result of his interview with Mr. Leveredge. His was a nature which demanded the unusual, the romantic, the bizarre; and his early morning conversation with the great picture dealer had thor oughly satisfied his demands. Moreover, he could not help being very glad that be bad been able to witness Mr. Leveredge's discomfiture; and, at the same time, he looked forward with a stoclal calm and philosophic Indifference to what all the time he realized to be' the inevitable. And the inevitable, as far as Mr. Leveredge was concerned, was hat, before very long, that worthy gentleman would discover that some one had tampered very seriously, with his precious "Circe." He Had Made an ' Entirely New Face. Prom a purely artistic point of view It was, in Crawley's erudite mind, a moot point whether or not he bad actually Improved the picture. Hence his singular and unqualified elation of spirit on this sunny 8prlng morning. He had not mutilated the "Circe;" he bad not spoiled it. The picture, despite his forebodings, was still a great work of art. He had been Inspired last night. Some invisible and intangible power had guided his band. ' True, it was that he had obliterated all trace of any likeness In his "Circe" to Mrs. Godfrey Brooke, and true also It was that she stood to him, as she had always, done from the very moment he had first looked into her wonderful face, for the incarnation of earthly loveliness, the Incarnation of beauty, the most superbly beautiful woman his imagination had ever conjured; still for all that, he had not spoiled Ieveredge's "Circe" not from an artistic point of view. Last night he had witnessed a tour de force. In two or three hours of diligent painting he had produced another "Circe." He had painted by electric light, and under the influence or Intense excitement and conflicting emotions. Like a giant he had, for

the Bake of himself and Brooke, and incidentally Zoe, crushedall the personal feeling from his mlrtd,.and had kept the artistic Idea before him. But because his artistic nature told him that he had triumphed against the overwhelming odds he was singularly glad and content. A year or more before Zoe had come into his life to hurl tragedy across his path, he had painted a greit deal from quite a different model a beautiful girl in her way, with a lovely face, and copper-red hair. That she had bad teeth and a very pronounced Cockney accept had not troubled him. She was young, fresh and obedient. She also knew her business, as her mother and grandmother, had done before her. - Her name was Folly Martin. Her mother had sat to "Leighton and Mlllais, and to Franz Struck. Her grandmother had been immortalized by the mid-Victorians. She hung in the galleries of half a dozen European art centres. The model's real name was Eliza Mary Jane Martin, and she lived with her maternal relative in Chelsea. She was eminently respectable, and only sat by her mother's permission to certain fully approved and very favored painters. Among these was Mr. Noel Crawley, to whom, indeed, it was an honor to sit. Her name of Folly, by which the girl was known to the brethren of the brush, had been originally given to her by the South Kensington students, and had been confirmed by Paris and Munich, both of which Mies Martin knew well. Crawley knew the girl's face by heart, and it was her face, slightly altered, which he had painted on to the Leveredge "Circe." He smiled to himself as he thought of Leveredge's chargin; but the smile died abruptly with the realization of the denouement impending.

He finished hla breakfast, wrote

two or three letters, and started off

Kidney Trouble Causes Sleeplessness, Dizzy Spells I have great confidence in your medicine, called Swamp-Root, as 1 have tested it thoroughly. I had Kidney trouble for several years and found no relief, until I took Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. The doctor said my disease was Kidney trouble of the worst kind. I had pains in my back, dizzy spells and fever. Had a languid feeling and could not 6leep on account of having to urinate so often. The doctors told me that I could not get well, but I am well now and feel better than I ever did. Can sleep well and am not bothered any more with my kidneys. Have never taken a dose of medicine since the last bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. My age is 55 years. Have resided in Darlington 20 years. Yours very truly, W. A. LEE, 400 W.

hope that he might meet Eva Warren, a hope that was. Indeed, half a dread. A brisk walk of about a quarter of an hour did him a lot of good, and he felt even more optimistic than he had done 'over his breakfast. He looked into his club In St. James's street, and chatted for a few minutes with several acquaintances, and then sat down to write to Zoe, returning her check. He found the task more difficult than he had anticipated, and had sat down for a quarter of an hour facing the only words he seemed able to write: "Dear Mrs. Brooke." For the life of him he could get no further. He nibbled the end of his penholder and drew grotesque faces and figures on the blotting paper, then be commenced to decorate the neat heading of the notepaper bearing the words, "Orian Club, St. James's street, S. W." No, it was no good; he must give if up. What he wanted to say could

not be expressed In conventional writ

ten words. He must see Zoe and speak to her. Besides, it would hardly be sane to commit himself to writing now. Between two people like Brooke and his wife, who knew that the correspondence of either was sacred? Brooke might open the letter. And then . No, the risk was too great. . He must wait until he saw her. They were bound to meet soon. He was a little frightened of himself when he realized how very much he really wanted to see her again. He Seta Off to See Eva Warren. He tore up the sheet of notepaper, replaced her letter and check in his letter-case and, bracing himself for the ordeal, set off for the Warrens' house In Curzon street. . It was quite an unconventional hour for calling but Noel , Crawley was quite en famille there. The Warrens' electric landaulette stood outside the door, but he was disappointed to find that Eva was not at home. "Miss Eva went out early this morning, walking, sir," said the servant who answered his summons. "Her ladyship is in the . morning room." Crawley was not altogether anxious to see Lady Warren, especially as she would all probability Insist on his accompanying her. in the motor. However, he had no choice but to enter; 4 ' . . . He ; found Lady Warren attired 1 for tions to the butler concerning a luncheon party she was giving later In the day. She was delighted to Bee Crawley, and seized both his hands effusively. 1 "Ah, my dear Noel, I am glad to see you! What a delightful surprise! Why, we were picturing you enjoying yourself in Paris, and envying -you.

We thought of you last night," too ugh! And what a rough crossing it was, according to the papers this

morning! But what does it mean?

"It means," answered Crawley, "that at the last moment I found I

should have to postpone my Journey.'

"Then why didn't you come in last

night? Poor Eva was quite incon

"I had an important business appointment," said Crawley a little

awkwardly. ...

"Oh, you men with your business appointments! You don't suppose that we women swallow all of them, do

you? She shook her head coyly.

"Oh, no, Noel; we women 4 are not quite such fools as you men would
