"Nobody's call l_j ed uie thut for ten years." "Just teu years ago that you graduated, wasn't It?" "Yes. Tbeu I knew you In college. You must have been'before my class." The bearded oue nodded. "Senior to your freshman," said he. The younger man scrutinized him. "ChesUfr Keut!" said he softly. "What on earth are you doiug behind that bush?" Kent caressed the maligned whisk ers. "Utility," he explained. "Patent, Impenetrable mosquito screeu. I've been off in the wilds and am—or was —going back presently." "Not until you've stopped long enough to get reacqualnted," declared Sedgwick. "Just at presenCyou're go '.ng to stay to dinner." "Very good. Just now you happen to be in my immediate line of Interest. It Is a fortunate circumstance for me to find you here—possibly sor you too." Old interests sprang to life and speech between them. Presently Fran cis Sedgwick was telling his friend the story of his feverish and thwarted ten years In the world. Within a year of his graduation his only surviving relative bad died, willing to him a considerable fortune, the income of which be used in furtherance of a hitherto suppressed ambition to study art. Paris, bis Mecca, wus first a taskmistress, then a temptress, finally a vampire. Before succumbing be bad gone far In a few years toward the development of a curious technique of his own. Followed then two yenrs of dissipation, a year of travel to recu perate and the return to Paris, wbicb was to be once more the taskmistress. But, to his terror and self loathing. be found the power of application gone. Their-' *'«s of bis mind had Ualjßy. "All by virtue of a woman's laugh; the laugh of a woman without virtue," he told Kent "It was at the Moulin de la Galette—perhaps you know the dance hall on the slope of Montmartre —and she was one of the dancers, the wreck of what bad once been beauty and, one must suppose, innocence. Probably she thought me too mucb absinth soaleed to hear or understand as I sat balf asleep at my table. At all events she answered, full voiced, her companion's question, 'Who is the drunken foreigner?" by saying: 'He was an artist. The studios talked of btm five years ago. Look at him now! That Is what life does to us, mon ami. I'm the woman of it. That's the man of it* I staggered up, made her a bow and a promise and left her laugh ing. Last month I redeemed the prom ise; sent ber the first thousand dol lars I,made by my own work and de clared my debt discharged. How about yourself?" " 'Postgraduate science. Agricultur al department job. Lectures. Inven tion. Judiciary -department expert Signed. Chester Kent' Ten words count them—ten." , "Interesting, but unsatisfying," re torted his friend. "Can't you expand a bit? 1 suppose you haven't any dark secret in your life?" "No secret, dark or light," sighed the other. "The newspapers won't let me have." "Eb? Won't let you? Am I to Infer that you've become a famous person? What are you, anyway?" "What I told you, an export in the service of the department of justice. I like to flatter myself tbat my pur suit Is aclentlflc." "Pursuit? What do you pursue?" "Men and motives." Sedgwick's Intelligent eyes widened. "Walt," he said; "something occurs to me, an article In a French Journal about a wonderful new American ex pert In criminology who knows sli there Is to know and takes only the most abstruse cases. I recall now that the article called him 'le Professeur Cbetre Kennat.' Tbat would be about •a near ss they would coma to your name. The Frenchman made you out a most superior species of highfaiutin detective, working along lines peculiarly your own"— - "Rot!" interjected Kent "The only lines a detective can work along suc cessfully are the lines laid down for him by the man he Is after." "Bounds more reasonable than ro tnsntic," admitted the artist "Come now, Kent, open up and tell me some thing about yourself." "Ton remember I got Into trouble my senior ysar with the college au thorities by proving the typhoid epi demic direct against a forgotten de fect in the sewer system. It nearly cost me my diploma, but it helped me too, later, for a scientist In the depart ment of agriculture st Washington learned of it and sent for mo after graduation. He mapped oat for me s three years' nostgraduste course, which I bad just about enough money to take. While I specialized on botany, entomology and bacteriology, I picked np a working knowledge of other branches—chemistry, toxicology, geol ogy, mineralogy, physiology and most of the natural sciences. • "Once in the department I found my self with a sort of roving rommlesion I worked under such men ss Wiley, Howard end Merrlam and learned from them something of tike Infinite and scrupulous patience that truly original scientlflc achievement de mands.

The terms include liberal voca tions, one ot which I am now taking. And here I am! Is that sufficient?" "What about your forty horsepower kick?

But kindly finish that 'even up here." I rec ollect your saying that you were wait ing for me. Haven't traced any scien tlflc crime to my door, have you?" "Let me forget my work for a little while." pleaded his visitor, "and look at yours." Sedgwick rose. "Come upstairs." he said and led the way to the big. bare, bright studio. From the threshold Chester Kent de livered an opinion after one approving survey. "You really work, I see." "I really do. Where do' you see It, though?" "All over the place. No draperies or fripperies or fopperies of art here. The barer the- room the more work 1 done in It" He walked over to a curious contri vance resembling a small hand press, examined it, surveyed the empty easel, against which were leaning face in a number of pictures all of a size and turned half a dozen of them over, rang ing them and stepping back for ex amination. "Good work," "pronounced Kent quietly, and in some subtle way the commonplaco words conveyed to their hearer the fact tbat the man who spoke tbem knew. "It's the best there Is In me at least," said Sedgwick. Kent went slowly around the walls. keenly 1 examining, silently appraising. There were landscapes, genre bits, studies of the ocean in Its various moods, all the varied subjects bandied with a deftness of truth and drawing and colored with a clear softness quite individual. "Have you found or founded a new system of coloring?" asked Kent as he moved among the little masterpieces. "No; don't tell ma" He touched ooe of the surfaces delicately. "It's not paint and It's not pastel. Ob. I see! They're all of one size, of course." He glanced at the heavy mechanism near the easel. "They're color prints." SedgeWlck nodded. "Monotypes." said be.

"it's the first oue I've given a name to. I call it 'The Bough Rider.' " A full moon, brilliant amid blowu cloud rack, lighted up the vast proces sion of billows charging In upon a near coast. In the foreground a corpse, the face hcut ur up and back from the spar to which It was lushed, rode with wild abandon headlong at the onlook er on the cr 'Ht of a roaring surge. The rest wan Infinite clarity .of distance nnd dcKiihitkui. - " 'The Itough Klder!"" murmured Kent; then, with a change of tone. "When did yon finish this picture?" "Yesterday." "H in!

"Dennett? \Vell, then, that's all up," said Kent! as If speaking to himself. "There's u streak of superstition In all these New Englanders. He'd be sure to Interpret It as a confession before the fact. However. Elder Dennett left this morning for a trip to Cadystowu. That's so much to the .good." "He may have left for a trip to Hadestown for all I care," stated Sedg wick with conviction. "What's It all about anyway?" "I'lf tell you as soon us I've mulled It over a little. Just let me cool my mind down with some moro of your pictures." He turned to the wall bor der agalu and faced auother picture out. "What's this? Vou seem to bo something of a dab In black and white too." "Oh, that's an Imaginary face,".said Sedgwick carelessly. "Imaginary face studied from va rious angles." commented Kent. "It's a very lovely face and the most wist ful I've ever seen. A fairy prisoned on earth by cockcrow might wearsome' such expression of startled wondering purity, 1 foncy." "Poetry as well as mystery'/ Kent, you grow and expand ou acquaint ance." "There' Is poetry in your study of that imaginary fay. imaginary! Dm hum!" contiued Keut dryly as bo stooped to the floor. "1-suppose this is an imaginary hairpin too." "My Chinaman"— began Sedgwick quickly, when the other caugbt lilni up: "Don't be uneasy. I'm not going to commit the Toollsbuess of asking who sbe la." "If you did I give you my word of honor I couldn't tell you. I only wish ! I knew!" There was alienee between tbem for o moment, tben the painter broke out with the air of one wbo takes a resolu tion:! "See here, Kent! You're a sort of de tective, aren't you?" "I've been called so." "'And you like my picture of The Rough Rider?"" "Five hundred dollars' worth." "You can have that and any other picture in my studio except this one." he indicated tbe canvas witb the face, "if you'll find out for me wbo she Is." "That might be done. We shall ace. But frankly, Sedgwick, there's a mat ter of more Importance"— "Importance? Good heavens, man! Tbere'e nothing so Important in this world!" "Oh, is It as bad as thai?" A heavy knock sounded from lielow, followed by tbe China men's voice In termingled with boylsb accents de manding Sedgwick In the name of a telegraph company.

A Strange MaatJng. "A ND ' ,ow Sedgwick, said Kent /\ decisively, "If I'm to help yon suppose you tell me all that you know about the woman who called on you last evening?" "Last evening? All, that wasn't the girl of the picture! it's an intermina ble (Six days since I've seen her." "No; 1 kuow It wasn't she, having seen yonr picture, and since then your visitor of last night. The question Is, Who was it?',' "VValt!. How did you know that a woman came here last nlgbt?" "From common gossip." • "And where have yoii seen hor since?" "On the beach at Lonesome Cove." "Lonesome Cove,'' repeated Sedg wick mechanically; then with a star tled glauce. "Not the dead woman!" Kent nodded, watching him closely. For a space of four heartbeats—one very slow and three - very quick there was silence l>etween them. Keut broke it. • "Do you see now the wisdom of frankness?" "You menu that I Khali be accused of having a band In her death?" "Strongly sus|iected, at least." "On what basis?" "You nre the last person known to have seen her allvei" "Surely that Isn't enough?" "Not of Itself. There's a bruise back of your right ear." Involuntarily Sedgwick's hand went to the spot. "Who gave It to yon?" pursued Kent. "You know It all without my telling you." cried Sedgwick; "but I never saw the woman before In my life, Kent I give yon m.v word of honor! She came nnd went, but who she Is or why she came or where she weflt I have no more Idea than you hare—per haps not nearly so much." "There you nre wrong.

"You did-no; pardon my: it was the j messenger Ist,v. lliity.uti'sald that her : body was found in' Lonesome Cove." j "Tbat Is quite a'different matter." "She wasn't drowned?" ! "I should bo Very much surprised If the autopsy showed any water lu j the lungs." I "But thy boy said that tho body was lashed to a grating, nnd there were | chains on it—l» that true?" "It was lashed to a grating and man acled." "Manacled? What n ghastly mys tery!" Sedgwick dropped Ills chin in medltutioh. "If she wasn't drowned then she was murdered and thrown overboard from a boat-is that It?" I Chester Keut smiled Inscrutably. "Suppose you let me do the questlon . lug a while. Vou can give no clew j whatsoever to the Identity of your yes -1 terday's visitor?" j There was the slightest possible hes itation before the artist replied, "Nono at all." "If I find It difficult to believe that what will the villagers think of it when Elder Dennett returns from Ca dystown and tells his story, ss he Is sure to do?" "Does Dennett know tho woman?" "No; but It Isn't his fault that he doesn't. He did bis best In the Inter viewing line when he met her on ber way to your place." "She wasn't on her way to my place." objectid Sedgwick. "Dennett got the notion that she was. ll* lifd behind a bush and watched." I "Dlil be overhear our con remit Ion?"

"Hhe thanked me and asked If 1 were Mr. Sedgwick, i answered that 1 was and suggested that she make good by completing the introduction." j "Bho wasn't a woman of jour own class, then''" Sedgwick looked puixled. "Well, no. I thought not then or 1 shouldn't have been so free and easy with her. For one thing, she was painted badly, and tho perspiration, running down her forehead, had mude her a sight Yet 1 don't know. Her voice was that of a cultivated person. Her manner was awkwnrd and ber dress weird for that time of day. and fo'r nil that she car ried herself like a person accustomed to some degree of consideration. That I felt quite plainly.

In tbo light of what has happened, wouldn't it? Yet there was an uncanny air of Joyous ness about ber too." "I don't like It." announced Kent. "I do not llko-It!" By which he meant that he did not understand It. Wbat Chester Kent does not understand, Cheater Kent re sents. " , "I/OVe affair, perha|M," suggested the artist.

'That's what I've been guarding against," retorted the other. "It Isn't a thing that 1 can tell, man to man. Don't you understand? Or," he added savagely, "do you misunderstand?"
