Sit days out of tier week he rlolod
at hnlrplns and thread, and wore Ms-ue-pnper

This, history has to do with the

At four o'clock on Sundny After

Mlunlo lived In a hall bedroom, with

back chair nnd two feet of tl.r space.

variably consisted of n lolled cj;k and
two toasted sola i-ruckcrs, over the
Cus Jet, nnd there were a pew ter spoon

the occupant of the adjoining room,
tul on the sinaJI Iron landing outside
the window she kept a Jar of Jui. and
stewpan. There were three pink

if "Lady Audlcy'a Secret" Inserted
teneatli the mirror to ghe It the tie-
jslred tilt, it was to this that Minnie
returned six out of her seven evenings.
Hut there Is n savin? tlrgacr'nnco.
On the seveoih rtny ?,I;nnle emerged
from her chrysalis and black sateen

day Minnie Stradolla Ceased to Bo.
From four until eight o'clock each Sun
day Minnie Stradolts ceased to be;
almultaneously she dlacarded the sa
teen ahlrtwalst for the tan suit, and
tlj weary yesterdays for the glowing
boar which was the beacon of all the
wary ones that preceded It
At each week end there was one dol
lar nnd thirty cents In Minnie's tan
parae; that meant a club ateak, aheN
tnng potatoes, and Up, In a gold hotel
fining room, with shaded cajidles and
Mdden music. , To be aure, the one
dollar and thirty cents represented
lightly over one-fifth of her week's
earnings, seven hungry noon hours and
tortuous walka from the Biggest Store
to the lull room, but those homely ae
treta were her own.
'When ah strolled Into the marble
lobby of the highest-storied and high-st-prlced
hotel on Broadway she was
flushed with a beauty that is com
monly born of morning sleep and mas
sage; when she established herself.
Its was her wort, In a quiet corner of
cne of the numerous and perfumed
parlors, she was a daughter of For
tune, fresh from her bath of milk and
rose leaves. Who could know that she
was awaiting the grand climax of her
week, and that when the crowds came
fastest and the lights were brightest
she would venture Into the gold dining
room for one hour one dollar and
thirty cents' worth of dreamland that
had cost her six days of aching feet
behind the notion counter It Is true
that at ten o'clock Cinderella was once
more In the small Iron bed. but the
beacon light of an unborn seventh day
was shining truly across the week's
chasm.
Today Minnie put the finishing
touches to her toilet with lingering
core; she drew the neat-flttlng coat
snug around her figure and regarded
herself over, one shoulder. . After the
manner of women she fluffed her hair
ut from beneath hn hat with need
lesa repetition and posed at herself

rZfrf :l"f .P J-J r-f
hf. iter
on ber Hps and la her eyes,
She pictured herself walking smart
ly through the lobby ; she saw lolterlof
heads turn as she passed. Fhiften
rehearsed the racy moment when the
reel of her knife sank deep Into the
red of the steak, the quiet dignity of
her "Keep the change," and the ob
sequious bow of the waiter. The new
hoarder In the adjoining room lurched
noisily about, and with the weariness
bom of experience she closed the win
dow which opened out on the Joint
tire-escape landing nnd turned the key
In the bureau drawer which rontnlnerf
! her Bible nnd mother-of-pearl card-
rnse; Incidentally she turned her bock
on Minnie. t
There Is a parlor In the highest
priced and highest-storied hotel on
Broadway, which Is done In pnle gold
nnd pink; It Is like a small, rare Jewel
box softly tufted In satin and lighted
with opal ctobes; through Its graceful
ly hung doors you can see Info the
glistening lobby beyond, but the only
sounds tlint penetrate nre strains of
fur-away niiHc nnd the soft swish of
women's gowns.
Within this golden retreat Minnie
dropped into the soft embrace of a
brocade divan and gave herself up to
Its luxury ; closing her eyes ever so
slightly she could Imagine herself
Journeying through I.ady Audrey's gar
dens. In a gold and crystal sedan chair,
with n graceful ennui In her pose and
enlln lilies In her hair. The hush of
velvet rues and faint music luUed Min
nie's dreaming senses, her tense bold
on the tan purse one dollar and thlr
ty cents relaxed, and she nestled
deeper In the pink brocade.
A man lu a frock coat nnd shiny
patent shoes dropped wearily on tins
farthest end of the divan. Ills hair
was gray nt the temples and his eyoV
were surfeited with too much living")
he was the typical clubninn and dilet
tante of the seventh-day world.
Minnie regarded him with the little
lntnku of breath which prVnlmlty to
those of his sphere Invarialdy caused
her. From the supercorrect cut of
coat to the shining fingernails he be
spoke Inverness coats und cabs. Min
nle did not cuutly know what consti
tuted an Inverness coat, but no drawing-room
novel was complete without
one. She could also picture this tired
eyed man In the dork mahogany quiet
bf his den, or strolling the white and
brass dei k or n yncht. Her half-closed
eyes to all Intent and purpose were
regarding nn oil painting which hung
b'v'ioud Lis Lcud, but none of his de
tails was lost upon her; she knew that
his cane bad a gun-metal knob and
that his shirt studs were gold,
She bad rehearsed her hour for so
long thnt she was not even surprised
when he leaned toward ber and spoke.
"That Is a very warm and rich bit
of worl;. You admire Ms school?" lie
referred to the oil painting, and his
tones were deep nnd serious.
"It's Just beautiful," replied Minnie,
who had not even observed the por
trait. Her temples were throbbing violent
ly. She felt that she was contatiinat
lug this seventh-day creature In even
replying, and that he would resent her
if he knew. Just as she resented Mr.
Suuggs In the white goods.
"I see you riding In the park quite
often. Onl a few mornings nno I was
bold enough to canter after you, ad
miring your mount."
"Thank you," she replied, tnklng the
plunge and tilting her small head a bit.
"The women In my family have al
ways ridden well."
"If you bespeak the race, I doubt It
not."
He spoke the words with a patrician
grace that thrilled her; she groped for
a suitable reply, hut none came. There
was a pause; she observed that he
wore a crested ring on his right hand.
She felt it incumbent upon her to Jus
tify her unattended presence, and
glanced with well-restrained impa
tience Into the lobby beyond.
He was on his feet Immediately.
"You are waiting for some one. Can
I be of any assistance r
"Thank you; no. My maid will be
here presently; she is unnecessarily
long."
She sank back and let her eyes rest
on a misty landscape framed in silver.
He followed her gate
"I have the twin Corot to that rare
bit In my private collection, I an
rery fond of It" ......
"Oh I" she murmured. "How lovely r
"There Is something compelling In
the strength of that stretch of mere
meadow-land." . .
"Yes." she agreed cautiously. "I
love the country." '.
He adjusted a pair of plnce-net and
regarded her as If seeing her for the
first time. J
"You are an exotic, and yet you
crave the natural?"
She closed her eyes and the delicate
line of her profile met the pink
brocade.
"Yes," she recited, "this artificial
life, the routine of ball and function,
tho formality of livery and society
make me long to fly back to Nature."
The man moved toward her with a
new Interest
"Strange," he half mused, "that
when I left my club an hour ago that
same coll within me prompted me to
tell my man. on the spur of the mo
ment, that we are off for the West to
morrow. I, too, am weary of the honk
of the automobile, the chug of a yacht,
the titter of society. I w ant the wlde
ness and the mountain tops."
She sighed appreciatively.
"I sometimes even long to change
places with my maid."
"I cannot tell you how all thla In
terests me." His face betrayed his
eagerness. "Often have I sat behind
my chauffeur and envied . him. We
suffer from ennui, but we do not heed
the call; we crave houseboats, but
cling to the yacht and ocean liner

"ii you win paraon ine personality,

"Doubtless." she replied. "One
meets so many."
He glnneed at his watch.
"Since your maid is delayed, mny 1
have the honor of dining with you?"
"Thank; you Abut I am dining in my
own apartments. I cannot account for
this delay. Annette Is usually most
punctual."
He did not press further, but bowed
and handed her his card.
"At least these few moments have
been a pleTsure. dear lady."
"II. Iuidiey Livingston." , The name
meant nothing to her. but she rend It
with an Intelligent raising of the eye
brows and glanced again toward the
lobby.
"Knowing you at least by hearsay,
and since you ask If. I will dine with
you. If you will return me here Imme
diately. Annette Is stupid."
He smiled with pleasure, and rose.
"I will station a pnfce here to await
your maid."
She placed a quick, detaining hand
on bis sieve.
"No, no- she will wait."
"As you will, dear lady," he c

Its frail sides.
"We wUl probably meet some day,"

"At least wear your knight's cojors."
She In turn snapped the stem of a
fragrant red carnation near its head
and 'presented it to him with silent

"And you the lady's," she whis

"I am beginning to fear that I am

said, after they had finished with the
salad course.
"If releasing me from a stupid soiree
and an hour of cords at the club con
possibly mean encroachment, you are
offering a delightful substitute; this Is
a happy respite."
"Yes, but I cannot permit you to sac

dictates of my engagement calendar."
"Let us Ignore those dictates to

"You tempt me," she said, "but I
have already been sufficiently indis

She watched him blow thoughtful
wreaths of cigarette smoke, and leaned
back In her chair contentedly.

who have been in the continuous serv

least twenty years, may be entitled to
