Rough-Hewn Dorothy Canfield | (Continued from Test«rdaiJ srsorsis. Neale Crittenden, typical American young man. has grown up in Vniontmvn, k village near New York city, h is been lUaduaied from Columbia univrri .y and was taken a poeition with a lumber firm. /At college he fell in love with Martha Wentworth, who declined his nroposal to wed. Martha fe spending a year in tier many with her father. Neale accepts his ^ rilsaopnjntmrnt philosophically .and nees. Neale’a father who is foreign agent for an Amer ican firm. She Is an accomplished lin guist nnd pianist and goes to Komc to continue her studies. Neale is spending a ycur abroad. in Rome he inerts Marise and they become close friends. Neale and Murlse visit places of interest with two other Americans, a young man named Livingstone and a young woman, ttugenla Mills. Neale and Marise find thev are In love with each other, though neither ha* mentioned it. Marise goes to I’aris to visit her father. Neale Impatient ly await* her return and meanwhile spends part of his time with Kugenln. Marise leaves Paris for a visit with her old musio teacher, Mile. Hasparren, In a Pyrenees village. At the piano Mile. Hasparren and Father Armandariz were talking to gether of the next evening's rehear sal. Mile. Hasparren occasionally illustrating with one hand what she was saying. How deeply human was l he look of intimate confidence they bent on each other, the ugly young priest and the ugly old school teacher. They might well be thankful that they had found each other In the world. Mile. Hasparren turned around now and asked Marise if she would not play for them. “I would be so proud to show my friends what an old pupil of mine has come to be,” she said fondly. It seemed to Marise that she had never In her life felt so like playing. What should it be? She swerved on her way to the piano to stoop to kiss Mile. Hasparren’s swarthy cheek* and, sitting down, with an affection ate smiie at her, began the Toc cata in D minor, just as Mile. Has parren had taught It to her. with all she had learned since then. She had never played to such an audience; when she turned around Father Ar mandariz was looking beatific and Mile. Hasparren exalted with pride. Site had never played so well. She she felt, just begun to know e- 'hat music was. *•>') ~ Mile Hasparren had set up for her a folding cot in her own room, since there was no other bedroom in the tiny house. They slept side by side, near enough so that they could have reached out and clasped each other's hands as on that night so long ago when Mile. Hasparren had pulled Ma rise out of the black pit. Marise could not go to sleep. Long after Mile. Hasparren lay breath 1 lg deep, her dark face relaxed in 1 selfless quiet that was not more selfless than her waking look, Marise lay looking out at the stars and the mountains, thinking, trembling, somet'mes feel ing hot bitter tears in her eyes, some times feeling her heart swell high with strange, unearthly aspiration. Mile. Hasparren was right. She had always been right. To keep clear of all troubling, maddening, personal relations that were sure to end by poisoning you, not to want anything for yourself, to give all for music—how safe you would he, to live like that. And how sweet it would be to feel safe! She never had. She was so tired of feeling afraid. Why not live like that? When you knew it was the only safe way! When you knew that if you did not, you would fall headlong Into that dreadful mire that splashed up such indelible stains upon your mind at even the few chance contacts with It which life brought to a girl. Yes, that was the only safe way. Never to go back to Rome at all. Somehow to devise a life all devotion to music, with the miserable personal affections burned up in that greater ardor. Yes, that. Marise decided, that '.as the only tolerable, the only endurable future she could see. People began to stand up. to put on their wraps and collect their va lises. The train was passing the out skirts of Rome. It would be in the station in a few minutes. Marise tied on her veil over a pit eous white face. She had said she would not go back to Rome at all. She had scarcely been 10 days away. She had come back. Like any other woman she had come. back to the trap. CHAPTER LIII. She had not seen him yet. She had had her breakfast sent to her room when she heard he was still at the pension. She had thought certainly he would be gone away by this time. She knew he would not have gone away! She stood now with Eugenia at the entrance to the Plncian, up on the hill, by the fountain, under the ilex trees looking down over the city. This was where their first walk to gether had ended. "I think I see Mr. Crittenden just come up the Trinita steps and turn ing this way,” remarked Eugenia, looking in that direction. If Marise could have stirred, she would have run away. She turned her head and saw him coming. Al though he was still so far away that she could not make out his face, she knew by the sudden tautness of his figure, by the spring forward of his step that he had seen her. There he came, striding strongly towards her, as he had come to seek Pianos For Bent | $3.00 a Month I Choice of 15 high grade instrument*, fij Free tuning *nd insurance.

He looked Infinitely familiar to her, and yet lniinitely different from all she had been thinking of him. She had forgotten! What had she been imagining him? When ho drew near enough to he sure it was she. he snatched off his hat and swung it around his head with a bright, boyish gesture of joy. Tlje wind ruffled his hair, the sun shone full on his bold,'clear face, on his deep eyes, on his tender, full lipped mouth. He was smiling at her, all his heart in his smile. He was welcoming her back. Marise felt a warm gush ail over her body, as though her heart had suddenly begup to beat again, as though he had welcomed her back into life. Why, this was Neale! This was no monster to dread. If she had seen him, only seen his face that morning, only had one look from his ej'es that both smiled and were steady . . . she would never have run away. She was not hurt at all. only fright ened half to deuth She was not just a woman in love, ready to give her self up to a man. She was Marise in love with Neale. He had come up to them now. his breath coming fast ns though he had been running. For an instant he did not speak, taking her hand silent ly in his. All that life had made of him looked out on her from his clear eyes. With a heating flutter, her heart sprang up from its numb torpor of fright and sgcpad its wings. "Well, we certainly have missed you!" was what he finally said. "I'm very glad to be back in Rome," she answered. CHAPTER HIV. . I. He had stood this gregarious flock ing around just all he was going to. Neale decided that morning, up un der the ilex trees, exchanging com monplaces with the two girls, unable to say or even to look what he felt, because Eugenia wa» there. And he’d had plenty of Eugenia during the last 10 days. What a nightmare those 10 days had been to him! What a hideous blockhead he had been to let Ms rise slip away from him. even for a time, before he had made a chance to see her, really to see her, in a quiet place where they could hear themselves think—with none of those third and fourth persons hanging around. What had he been thinking of, drifting along like a man in a dream, witn no sense of time? But that absence of hers had waked him up. Yes, it had waked him up!

How had he ever lived through that suspense and uncer tainty without losing his mind? Well, she was back and he bad been too frightened not to have learned a little sense. He'd manage a walk with her alone, just the two of them before the day was out or— How could he? How did you do anything? You just went and did It. _ He went boldly to her room and knocked on the door. When Marine came to open it, he said, “To cele brate your return, won't you let me show you a specially lovely spot on the Campagna I’ve found? I've been taking some long, solitary walks while you were away." He added firmly, “No, not Miss Mills and Mr. Livingstone because they don’t like to tramp, and this is 'cross country." There! It had been no harder than that. Why In the name of haven ■-—-/ hadn't he thought of the simple, ob vious way to get the thing done? He went back to his room and sat down, staling at the wall, to wait till the afternoon came and to fry to plan what he would say when It came. He hoped a great deal that she had read Browning.
