S H nr tea OorraiOMT. lass, at t a. tieeiNCort company ano CHAPTER VIII. Delatolo's apurtinents were in the Uni versity buildiug. Ho loved the weather stained pile because it was old ho little was old in New York. He loved the gloomy hall-H and the high, dusty win dows. His rooms were a medley whero discord in the extreme blended into a startling harmony Curiosity shops had been ransacked for treasures, and he had even paid flying visits to ship chandlers' shops upon the wharves in the desire to collect antagonistic bits. Fish nets that had the salt of the sea woven into their fibers took the place of more conven tional hangings. Mugs of every size and the most fanciful shapes, some of them very old. hung in a line around the man tel, each a mirror for the crackling tire below. Divans swathed in Turkish stuffs jutted from shadowy angles and held palpitating gleams from hanging lamps in their oriental, bespangled folds. His bed had curtains of pale tapestry fra grant as spice and looped up by spears. It was screened by a leathery Indian mat resembling the back of a huge turtle and suspended by hooks from the ceiling. Delatole had many sides to his charac ter, lie was a rake, a parasite, but he was also a genuine artist and loved his work. He loved the somber dreams which stole in upon his solitude in this old house, in this old street. They tipped his pen with cabalistic power. When the wind howled and the buow fell, the drafty passages seemed trodden by ghostly feet, and fancy often crossed his threshold, garbed in some fluttering rag of the dead years. Sometimes he had but to half shut his eyes, and looking across his untidy desk to the limits of the spacious square beyond see the roof tops stretch away into a sun kissed des ert, and the hanging smoke become the white tents of a waiting army. Yes, he loved the place, but it must go and his life there be remembered as a dream. On this November afternoon while he waited for Tom he held in his hand, which was trembling with rage, a notice to leave theso self same apart ments or pay a very large sum In a very short time. Cmious that a man should prefer as a tenant some commonplace fellow with money instead of a brilliant critic who made cigarette lighters of his dunning letters! A few oaths that reduced creation to chaos, and a few puffs of a cigarette cleared his brain. He sat back to think. So much money had gone at the gam bling table; so much on the races; so much in speculation. And the result? Enormous bills flowing in from every quarter, chief among them an appalling array of figures for more than a year's rent. "There's not a hole or corner where 1 can borrow a third of it," he exclaimed impatiently, nnd tightening the girdlo of the eastern robe infolding his slight figure he strolled to the window, and through the tangle of bare branches looked across at the snowy grass plots of Washington square. He scarcely moved for many minutes. Was there nothing ho could do? Nothing? One plan after another was dismissed as impracticable until his eyes fell upon Tom coming across the park, the orange light streaming from the west behind him, making a moving silhouette of his vigorous figure. Delatole's eyes became inscrutable, the smoke wreaths curled furiously around his head, and ho caressed his lip with the point of his tongue, as if ho had literally tasted a palatable thought. "You fool! Why didn't you think cl him before?" ho said aloud and burst o;it laughing. When the sedate English valet, who had almost forgotten the look of Ameri can money, opened the door for Tom, his host strolled from the window with bands outstretched. "Only half an hour late!" ho said air ily in his drawling voice. "Not bad for a new celebrity. Did you see Tho Chal lenge this morning? Good wasn't it? Here, read this." Ho picked up some loosely scattered pages covered with his delicate, cramped writing and pushed them into Tom's hands. "Thi3will- be in on Thursday moan ing. You see, it's a minute review of the play. You certainly can't complain." Tom carried them to tho window and turned one rustling page after another. Glorious words were theso magnetic, intense. And how tme!-how marvel ously true! His own intimate struggles In writing the play had been divined by the keen critical understanding of the writer. Tho lines flowed delicately, sub tly, and wero sweet as incense. They throbbed in his brain; his eyes lightened. i i! m Tom carried them to the window. "I had not hoped for this," he said, with a grateful glance as he came back to the table while slowly drawing off his cloves. "How awfully kind of youl My ' tonviction that you taean it art ts fat dearer than that New York will read these words." "Yes, I mean it all." Delatole handed him a cigarette, gave an abrupt glance at his harassed, weary face, and said musingly "You don't look like yourself today. Aren't you well'" "I'm inito well." "Cut you seem depressed." Tom smoked for a moment in silence. "Not so much depressed. 1 am dis gusted," he said fiercely. "Did you . know that 1 was drunk last night?" I Delatole opened his eyes very wide and softly laughed as if infinitely amused. "I wish you wouldn't laugh," Tom said, a little sullenly, a streak of color crossing his cheek. "It was the first ; time and is not pleasant to remember." Delatole's eyebrows twitched; he low ered his eyes and thoughtfully moved some trifle on the table. "But, 1 say, are you going in for re spectabilityfor that cumbersome re spectability that 'strains at a gnat? Are you?" The languid curiosity of his tone was more contemptuous than his laugh. Tom was troubled by a strange feeling j as he listened. He did not like Delatole 1 in his usual genial, unreserved way. Just to watch the slow movements of his listless hands held an enigmatical fascination. He felt a strong desire to emulate his ease and sagacity, but un derneath and through it all there floated on ill defined repulsion. The man seemed the product of a ! forced, perverted life. Something about his dark pallor and sneering lips dimly reminded Tom of a flower forced into a semblance of bloom by the aid of a nox ious gas, but with life and color and strength missing. "You see, my dear fellow," Delatole continued, "I know that you are fresh from a religious environment that you are young; therefore I don't accept your views seriously. Perhaps they are but natural. 1 won't label you 'prig' and give you up. I'll only give you time. Here comes my man with somo brandy and soda. Perhaps your saintship won't have any?" "Of course I will. You dir.i't supyvsa I meant to draw such fine distinctions. Surely you understand," said Tom ear nestly, and he looked away into the leap ing golden heart of the fire. "Last night's event? gave a blow to my precon ceived ideas of life. I mean to hold to them, you see." "Rubbish! A little laxity only makes a man's nature wholesomely expand. Now, look here, Murray," and Delatole spoke impressively as he stroked his pointed beard, "I'm going to transplant you, and to a soil where you'll grow mentally. If you don't astound us with a play even more unforgettable than 'The World's Way,' because more ma ture, it won't be my fault." A question darkened Tom's eyes, and he leaned eagerly forward. "You made a wonderfully good guess at life's flavor in 'The World's Way.' But I'm going to make you taste it in truth, tho brackish and the sweet. In short, I'm going to ask you to pitch in your fortunes with mine and share these rooms wi.L iao. Since Glendenning dis appointed :r.e I havo preferred to live and dream alone. But frankly I like you. The suite is large. We would not clash. Besides, just across the hall is an atelier left vacant since Do Courcey ran away only recently to escapo his debts. You'll probably find the drapery of a departed model still upon the plat form. You could furnish it as j'ou please and have it ns your own particu lar den." He watched Tom's eyes tnfc-el half wistfully aroxuid the odd, artistic place. "Charming," he said at length and added slowly, "but impossible. You see, I'm going to marry very soon." Delatole stared at him as if incapable of grasping the statement. "Yes," said Tom, and now a blunt tenderness rang in his voice, "I am go ing 1o marry Virginia Kent." "Aro you mad?" and tho words were a slow exclamation. Delatole roso as ho spoke, lifted one of tho fragile glasses on the table and con temptuously flung it from him. It lay upon tlio hearth, a mass of opaline splin ters. "In another year you will bo as artis tically ruined as that glass." Not dreaming of the selfish motive firompting this violent objection and istening to words that were a passion less prophecy, Tom could not resist tho shudder that ominously passed over him. "One would think I talked of commit ting a crime." And tho words were breathless. "And so you aro. Isn't it a crime to throw away your chance? Life doesn't offer too many of them. Let mo tell, you, too, my dear fellow, that you do not strike mo as ono who would culti vate the virtues of patience and humility under tho stress of failure and poverty. Marry now, when you havo just crossed the line, beforo your strength has had a fair test, and you'll not only fail, but probably break your wife's heart in a year. You remember what I said to you last night. I. did not dream then that you were thinking of tho madness of an early marriage; that you stood oa thever,geof tho abyss strewn with tho ruins of good beginnings." As Tom listened his face grew stern, his eyes searching. "Why should I fail because I keep my word to a woman, better, truer, a hun dred times, than I am not a woman to retard any man's progress? She has been my inspiration. You don't know Virginia. She is more to me than any thing in the world. I need not fail. I will not fail." . He looked very stalwart, very deter mined, as he towered above Delatole, his blue eyes flashing in his intense face. "What interest can I have but for your good?" asked his new friend, and the silken voice held a soothing gontle ness after Tom's hot, strained tones. "Let us look at this matter dispassion ately. You are young. You have writ ten ono play of startling strength and charm. It will bring you so much mon ey. Alone, independent, you would nave a good income, be. able to mix with the world, travel a little and feed your brain until it teemed with digested impressions gathered from boudoir and barroom. The same money will not support a' home and a wife except in a cramped, obscure way. Your love for her will be another drawback to earnest work. The treadmill of your dull, loving, respecta ble existence day in and day out in some little flat will afford no foverish impetus to your imagination. You will never write a play worth having typewritten on the inspiration offered by a baby's fists. Ah, havo 1 not watched the mental paralysis set in before? Love is bad enough, but love and poverty" i- Tom turned away and faced the win dow. Ho did not seek tho park. For just one moment the gray picture Delatole stretched rose beforo him, and an acute, unmeasured despair took hold of him. . He beat it back fiercely. Ho would not believo. But tho resistance was no longer buoyant; it was forced. "Then there is the other side freedom knowing no limit," continued Delatole in a soliloquizing tone as he walked up and down smoking, never once glancing at the silent, erect figure in the window. "Freedom. Only those who have sur rendered it know the full sweetness of that word. Every door would be open to you. You need not only bo a Bohe mian. A fellow like you, of undoubted talent, well looking, clever, independent and with some money would not have to knock at society's golden door for ad mission. 'It would fly open to you. For myself I hate the stiff set, but it is al- j ways well for an artist to become : acquainted with every sort of human. Under conditions of this sort your artistic vein would warm and expand, your na ture vibrate to change after change. The man who enters a race fettered is a fooL When I have said this, 1 have said all." There was silence after these words and then the rustling of paper. Tom , hastily turned and saw Delatole leaning ! against the table, looking scornfully over each of the pages whereon the criticism was written that had so delighted him. A painful premonition made him cold, but he said nothing. "Ah, well, I wish 1 had known that you contemplated thi3 idiocy beforo I wasted time and ink on you, Murray. You didn't tell me, of course. No rea son why you should. But I assure you, had 1 guessed what manner of man -you were I wouldn't have plunged into such a bewildering prophecy about your fu ture greatness. I'm not usually so im pulsive," and he rent the sheets half ! across before Tom's voice made him ! pause. j "Is this fair? If you really liked 'The j World's Way,' why won't you say so?" The mysterious violet gray of twilight stealing through the high windows be hind him touched his young face with shadows. It was pinched, eager, watch ful. "Oh, Til do that, of course. A few lines, a paragraph, will suffice, but not this psalm ct victory, this heralding of a new voice that is not to be stilled, but will rise again and again not that. You'll have to prove all I've said false beforo I write of you in that strain." And he was tho incarnation of bland,' impersonal regret as the papers once more fluttered in his hands. He looked them over half regretfully. "It's one of the best things I'vo ever written, but in submission to my honest opinion I must destroy it." In a few strides Tom was beside him. They looked intently at each other. Tom's eyes wavered and fell. "Don't don't," he said, and his voice was half choked "Give me time. Let me think." Half an hour later they wero walking up University place. They dined at a chophouse frequented by Bohemia, whero tables were bare and beer was served in mugs. "Better than Delmonico's in certain moods," said Delatole as they crossed the sanded floor; "the food is excellent and cooked to suit Lucullus. As accom paniments you have art, devil-may-care-ism, smoko and even socialism." His friends were scattered through the long room, and merry greetings were called out to him, which he repaid in kind. The hours passed in sparkling reminiscences, jests and laughter. Dela tole's levity became astonisl.'iig, and in this impudent wag, who soon formed a group around liiraself, there was not a traco of tho cynic, tho philosopher, the serious man of letters. Much that he said was coarse, but so audaciously hu morous it was impossible not to respond. Tom found himself moved to enthusi asm and laughter. His pulses were alive; his eyes glistened. Yes, let him reason ns he would, ho was attuned to this reckless brilliancy, this mingling of wits, this clatter of defiant freedom and spontaneity. Delatole was right. Chance words here nnd there gave him a new in sight into a happy, modern paganism that fillod his brain with imagery. The witchery, tho sweep of it wero intoxicat ing. He regretted when 9 o'clock came and Delatolo parted with him to keep an ap pointment at his club. No word had been exchanged between tho two men upon tho subject that so nearly con cerned them both. Now, as Tom hur ried up town the undecided question danced beforo his eyes, his heart becamo suddenly weighted. should ho cast tho old life behind him utterly and enter upon n new one free? Ho reached Union square. It sparkled in crystal whiteness. Tho branches pat terned on tho pavements waved fantas tically about hi feet as ho strode on, his head down. Passionate indecision went with him like a wraith in the whito rays. He thought of his enchanted dreaming of the night befdre. Only last night! Ah, he had learned much sinco then. Had ho over really reasoned or under stood before? ."Keep yourself unshackled. The man who enters a race fettered is a fool." Tho frosty breeze that whistled past his cars seemed whispering these words to him. nis memory flew back to a miserable childhood spent among tho rigors of a poor western farm, and ho shuddered. Only by a hard fight and incredible sac- rihce naa nis ratuer saved the money necessary for his BUpiwrt and education. Poverty! How lie loathed aud feared it! How ho had always loathed it! In grained in his nature wus a love for the poetry of life, a hatred of the common place, and now let him be careful, lest by one ill advised step he ta-ste all the old bitterness ugain. The fragrance of the hyacinths in his coat came to him in the crisp air, so penetratingly sweet it gave him a heart ache the flowers she hud given him. With a gran he flung himself into a seat. "1 love hcrj 1 love berl And 6ho? nave I not hud the confession in her eyes in her kiss? Who has helied me ! who has understood me like her? How can 1 pain her how can I leave her?" , For himself, if the reckless ambition mastering him required it, ho could put love uwuy, blot it from his life, uud tho thought had some of the ecstasy of mar tyrdom. But Virginia loved him. and he knew it. The thought of hurting her was cruel, and in the agonized tumult of the moment cold drops stood on his brow. Again as in the morning came the inward avowal of his own weakness. Oh, what if Delatole had spoken truly, and tho sovereignty of love meant the enslaving of the talent vhe had sworn should make him famous! Then oh, then, to what depths his ruined hopes would fling himt And he would drag her with him in his fall, perhaps making her taste a bitter anguish to which this younger disappointment was but little. And tho other side of the picture the life of the artist purely, the untrammeled, easy, earnest life, where great things would bo accomplished was it not bet ter? Hours passed in this, mute conflict. Love with dove's eyes first pleaded, then changed to a fury and scourged him. Doubt, fear of himself, insatiable ambi tion, passed in mocking line and with shadowy lips whispered predictions that terrified him. When he roso rrom the seat, he was benumbed. The frost seemed to have made a casing for his heart. Tho mid night traffic of the town, like the throb bing of massive machinery, swept across the white silence of tho square impera tively rousing him to a sense of action. Yes, there lay his world, his life. No more dreaming. He had dreamed long enough. The conflict was finished. Love had received its death wound. To be continued. A Danco Without a Smile. They have a singular kind of dance conducted on the greens of country vil lages in Russia. The dancers stand apart, a knot of young men here, a knot of maidens there, each sex by itself, and silent as a crowd of mutes. A piper breaks into a tune, a youth pulls off his cap and challenges his girl with a wave and a bow. If the girl is willing, she waves her handkerchief in token of as sent. The youth advances, takes a cor ner of the handkerchief in his hand and leads his lassie round and round. No word is spoken, and no laugh is heard. Stiff with cords and rich with braids the girl moves heavily by herself, going round and round, and never al lowing her partner to touch her hand. The pipe goes droning on for hours in the same sad key and measure, and the prize of merit in this "circling," as the dance is called, is given by spectators to the lassie who in all that summer revelry has never spoken and never Eiriled.
