Before the Moor danced again the artist had asked him to be his servant. The Moor could not say, modestly, "What, in this auirt ? for his scarlet robes and turban were gorgeous; but he did murmur something about being dressed differently from American servants. The artist wanted him as he was, and said so. So as he is. in scarlet grandeur, ha waits on the artist's studio apartments. The guests hold their breath a little when the enormous man in red enters the room to do the tea chores. The artist, however, breathe: evenly Tin Moor has a trick of hospitality toward his employer's guests of which, perhaps, it would be well for the artist to break him. as it proves nerve shattering to the unitiated.

A man is quickly disillusioned, which commonly means that he has set up his own idea of what things should be by the side of what things are, and sulka forever at the result. He then commits the fully of becoming old, and pi efers existence to life. He clambers into one or other of the many shelters that line the way, curia up within and smiles pityingly at. the young of all res pressing on to some end, no matter what, alive to the beauty of the sky and the clouds and the birds and the trees, alive even to the beauty to be seen in one another, breathing deeply of the air of strength, living and loving and beloved, until at last they are made one with nature. But the heart, like the Mver, grows torpid without exercise; a gradual decay comes to the mthi In the shelter, a decay from which he is released, much against his will, by death. There are too many shelters. Hugh de Selin-cour- t. CHAPTER SIX Continued. good to be an American? asked Jessie, as her hand stole into John's.
