I905.W - I HAT are you doing now, Stor mont? Have you anything big vn hand?" asked Jaaper Fan-ell at be sat on the lit tle veranda outside bla friend's studio puffing contentedly at a fragrant cigar a cigar quite out of proportion to his means, by the way; but, then, Jasper's Income was small, and bis tastes were large, so he did not let one Interfere with the other more than was absolute ly necessary, i Adrian Btormont lived at Sunbury In a little house with a garden running down to the river, and he was leaning back In a deck chair Idly watching the boats as they went past with their f varied freight; the men in white flan nels, who were taking things easily be cause there was a girl on tha red cash- f toned seat to talk to, and the club men In "sweaters," who gave no thought to ; girls as they flew along under the stern aye rot the cockswain, but only to the coming race.. ;; "I beg your pardon," Adrian said, re- memDering mat ne naa been asked a Question. "What am I doing, did yon say? Well, nothing much just at prea- ent, but I am contemplating something big, though I don't know whather hall ever arrive at It I have received ; communication from the ancient bor- ough-of .Stonehaven making me a pro posal to paint a 'St Margaret for their town hall. 8t Margaret, you .must know, te the patron saint of Stoneha en, and they are very proud of her." "Wen, why do you hesitate? I don' see much difficulty about that On the contrary,' you are to be congratulated." "But that fsn'tulte all," said Adrian a little dryly." "St Margaret la the type of all that Is Innocent and beauti ful In woman.:. She Is a pure, ethereal creature, -bearing 'the martyr's palm and crown. As you Ttnow, -my figure studies have been chiefly men. I have rarely employed a female model, and In any case no hired model would an swer my idea of St Margaret So am at a standstUl." "Oh, I know you- have always fought shy Df women and shut-yourself , up here like a Diogenes in-hia tub. Teu are almost as Innocent ef the world as a babyr but It la, not quite tha wicked place you fancy, and there are St Mar garets to be found In it yet" - "I don't know,"? rejoined Adrian, "that I hate thought of It as very wicked, .but the few women I have met have aH; seemed to me very much alike, not much better than we are. Now, I want a woman who I as dif ferent from man as light from dark ness, whose Innate goodness shines in her beautiful face, making It tender and pitiful to the sins she could not commit but -can understand a saint to be worshiped and yet" his voice droDDlna. "a woman to be loved." "I am afraid I cannot help yon. Ton want so much. She must be a beauty and a . pattern of all tha virtue as welL ' The two so seldom go together, yon see." Virtue Is rightly considered as the nrivlleae of the plain. : And she mustn't be a model, -yon say, or know a very nice little glrT- "Oh, no, not a model," Interrupted Adrian Impatiently. "Fancy a crea ture who simpers to yon for so much an hour nosing as St Margaret!" Jasper shrugged his shoulders. "As I aatd before, your notions are a little exaggerated," he remarked. "Why can't yon Idealise, like otner mem ' dsuhw don't come and sit for their portraits unfortunately, f am not an -unreasonable ss to ex pect my "Meal complete- in the flesh," replied Adrian, "but f must have youth and innocence at least I must' paint my saint from one not altogether un worthy to stand in ner piacw.

As Jasper had said, there was something almost unearthly bdoui ner beauty, it was so pure sad splrltuelle. The mind could harbor no evil thaj gave expression to such a race. Adrian stood a moment motionless, almost Holding his breath. Waa he dreaming? Had the St Margaret of aia visions come to life? He had seen so few women that she seemed to' him a veritable miracle. He did not notice tne shabby setting of the gem, the too sharp outlines of the delicate cheek and chin, the deep shadows under the violet eyes, for they but gave the touch of pathoa which completed the picture. He wanted Just that wistful expression, the knowledge of paat sor row and susTerlng deepening the starry eyes. A slow smile came over her face sa be looked. "Shall I dor she asked softly. He awoke with a start "I beg your pardon, I" be stammered. Then be "Shall I dot" the asked, stopped and recovered himself. "Ton will do perfectly," he said gravely. "If you will honor me by sitting for my St. Margaret I could ask for no better model." She looked at him a little thought fully. "Very well," she replied. "I will come tomorrow if yoa like. I am free every afternoon." The first time she sat to him Adrian saw that she knew how to pose her self; he had only to suggest and She seemed to fall Into the right attitude at once. As she stood on the throne, crowned with palm, holding up a cross, ber white robe falling back from her lovely arms, the light ef glorified mar tyrdom shining In ber face, bis heart beat faster end his hand almost trem bled. Could be do Justice to such a picture? Wss his band strong enough to cope with a masterpiece of tha great Creator? As time went on Adrian discovered that she had charms of mind as well as body; when she began to talk at first she was very silent and reserved be found that she had many original thoughts and graceful fancies. Perhaps the pleasantest half Hour in the' afternoon was when she came down from the throne for a rest and tha housekeeper brought la tea. ..She was woman enough, to appreciate the dainty arrangements of the tea tray, and Adrian liked to see her handling his .old Worcester, pouring out his cream and eating his cakes; she seem ed more women than saint then. They would discuss the progress of tha pic ture, for she could take aa Intelligent interest in bis work, and be bad mora than once profited by ber suggestions. It pleased him to see that so far from her unusual occupation's tinng Ber, she seemed to enjoy It At last the dar came when tne pic ture was complete; the finishing touch bad been given, and even Adrian, who waa alwavs bis own; severest critic, wss fain to acknowledge -that be was content -j It was ar. worthy St Mar garet; from the sole of bet foot te the m of her neaa tnera wee r wow iBb-lnber.

"I am going away," shs said, and each word cost her an effort "Have mercy and don't stop ma Go to Mr. Farrell; be will explain everything I can't" And she turned to go. Cold with undefined fear, too bewil dered to speak, be made no effort to de tain her. "Forgive me," she murmured, drop ping at bis feet and passionately kiss ing bis hand. "I didn't know what I waa doing. Try and forgive me by and by." The next moment she was gene. Some hours later be was still sitting In the same place, bis arms thrown en the easel that bore the picture of bla saint bis bead burled In bis bands. when the door opened and soma one came In. It waa quite dark in the room now, and be could not sea who It was. The Intruder struck a light and, looking up mechanically wbea the gleam caught bis aye, Adrian saw Jaa per Farrell. "Oh, there' yon are!" Jasper cried rather boisterously. "Wbatl Worship ing at the shrine, eh? Let ma have a took." And ba stationed himself be hind Adrian. "Well, she's a beauty and no mis take. I congratulate you, old man, Don't you feel grateful to me? Ton could never bare done that If I hadn't found you such a peerless model." ' "Have you come to explain? Has she told your Adrian asked, speaking for the first time. "There has been some villainy at work. Make haste and explain If yon don't want ma to choke It out of yon." His vole waa scarcely raised above a whisper, but his bands were twitching, and Jasper moved a little farther off. "What do yon mean? I don't under stand you. I give myself soma trouble to help yon out of a difficulty and In re turn yoa abuse me. I think It is for me to demand an explanation." "I am waiting," Adrian said hoarsely. "I shouldn't advise yon to play with me too long. I asked Miss Kerr to ba my wife, and aba turned from ma In horror and dismay not because she does not love me; of. that I am sura, Shs asked me to forgive ber, but she would say no mora. She said yon would explain. Now do so." "Her conscience Is too tender," Jas per said, with a sneer, bnt he did not seem quite at his ease. "I suppose shs wsa worrying aver a little deception a harmless little Joke we practiced on you, all for your own good." o He waited a moment; bis lips were uncomfortably dry. "Ton want the little mystery cleared up the little mystery that baa been of such benefit to yoa, which has pro duced this beautiful picture far the beet thing yoa have aver dona, by the way.

Out of the 1,140 of such communications two only bit the right note. Among pages of sentiment al and religious commonplace two mes sages alone touched the heart "He was a ninn I loved. I sm with you In your grief," was one. The other ran: "You have lost your beet pal. He was mine too. God help us both." Both of tbem epitomised the senders men with great hearts. But the ac quisition of tact by some of the other sympathisers would have supplied Its place. Again, paying an afternoon visit re cently, my hostess, wanting a book to which our conversation had referred, rang the bell. Within two minutes the servant appeared with tea, and the fol lowing colloquy occurred: "Who told you to bring tear "Please, ma'am, I thought that was what you rang for." "Well, please don't think.

Some of the old Beater customs In England are curiously barbaric, and even st the present time the observ ance of this particular festival Is sur rounded with more or leee superstition. Just enough to lend to It the charm of myatery. Twentlqth century maidens don bright yellow garters, secure In their belief that they will be engaged before the year ends. Others give their tresses "a hundred strokes three times" with the brush while thinking Intently of their heart's desire.' And who does not tab good care to wear their new things on Easter day? Among the earliest of Easter cus toms are the following: At Queen's college, Oxford, a herring placed by the cook to simulate a man on horseback Is set on a corn salad and brought to the table. This Is supposed to represent a red herring riding away on horseback snd Is the last vestige of the once popular pageants Of rejoicing for the end of the Lenten fast It wss erstwhile a bablt In English towns for the boys after the Easter service to run Into the street and snatch the buckles from the shoes of the girls whom they were sble to catch. Easter Monday, however, It was turn about and the women chased the men. If the men refused to pay a alxpenoa or happened to wear boots the women tried to snatch their bats, and to re cover S hat cost a sixpence.-"' In some old towns great cakes were brought to church and there divided among the young people. A singular Easter custom was that of "lifting and weaving." A man sit ting contentedly In bis home was sur prised by the servants and women of bis household, who entered bearing a great armchair lined with white and decorated with ribbons and favors. The men was forced to sit hi the choir aad be lifted by the women, to each of whom be moat give a sixpence. On n day In Easter week, either Monday or Tuesday, the man lifted the women with similar attendant ceremonies. Edward I. wss lifted in his bed by his ladles and maids of honor, snd a record snows the payment made by him to bare been soma $2,000 In sla in older dsys in England monks at Heater acted plays In cbarcbee, the fa vorite subject being the resurrection. Not only were these plays enacted In the churches on these festival days, but there was dancing, particularly In the French cathedrals. Even the sun, It Is said, dances on Easter day. ... In Ireland great preparations were made for the last day of Lent Holy Saturday, about 9 o'clock, a ben snd n piece of bacon were put In the pot and at 12 there were eating and moeh mer rymaking. At 4 sll rose to see the son dance In honor of the resurrection.
