All this I took in at a plance, for Miss
Kinsley condnett-d mo to her Itoudoir
(as nho called it) to lav aside my wraps.
"Has lie not sonlfnl eyes?" she asked.
"Who?" said 1. though I knew to whom
she lnnwt r»-fer
"Mr. Uarr."
"What is her said I.
•*A liohemian, dear," sho replied, in a
tono of satisfaction.
"Really?"
I had long wished to meet a member of
that mysterious brotherhood, of which
of course I had heard and read.
"Yes. He is a poet painter, and a great
frietid of Mr. Spence. Have you never
seen his pictures? Even Mr. Spence ad-
mits that they possess the abandon of
genius, although he disapproves of aban-
don. Their views today aro totally dis-
similar, but yet their friendship is sym-
pathetic as ever. Is it not inspiring?"
"Mr. Spenco is coming, I hope?"
"Oh, yes. I expect him every moment,
and I havo made Mr. liarr promise to
get him to give us an exposition. Not
knowing how you might feel, Virginia—
may I call you Virginia? It seems so
much more natural after having heard
your aunt always speak of you in that
way. Thank you, dear. And if you will
call me Lucretia 1 shall feel much flatter-
ed—not knowing how you might feel
about coming where there was no matron,
1 asked Mrs. Marsh to join us. We do
not regard it of importance, and you will
not a little later; but just at first it is
[wrhaps as well. D> you know Mr.
Fleisch by reputation? He plays with
artistic charm, rare even in this musical
epoch. Ho is a follower of Mr. Spence,
and is seeking to apply his principles of
I moderation to mnsic with striking snc-
| cess. Ah! you must excuse me, dear, it
is his knock."
1 understood that sho referred to Mr
Spence, and 1 waited an instant to put a
finishing touch to my toilet before fol-
lowing her into the other room. For 1
hail still something of the old Adam, or
rather of the old Eve. left in me; so that
I must confess my eagerness for culture
was not without a spice of coquetry
half unconscious though it were.
Mr Spence, from his appearance, was
| fairly entitled to be called a moderation-
] 1st He had nothing of the splendid
savagery of Mr. Paul Barr, whose luxuri-
I ant and matted head of hair now struck
my attention, nor the etudentlike insig-
nificance of Mr. Fleisch. He was neither
tall nor short, stout nor inadequately
, spare; and he was in evening dress like
| anybody else. Had 1 met him without
] knowing who he was, 1 should never
j havo imagined him a celebrity. This
I was my first impression, but a second
I look at his face revealed firm though
thin lips, and small, nervous eyes that
were full of fire when in movement. It
was not, however, until I heard him speak
j that I recovered from iny disappoint-
j ment "Be it so," was all he said in
j re^ily to some remark addressed to him;
| but the enunciation of the words was so
musical, so soft and winning, yet so clear
i and authoritative, that I was spellbound
for an instant and quite lost my com-
j posuro as Miss Kingsley, becoming aware
| of my presence, proceeded to make us
i acquainted.
| The backs of all the company except
Mr. Spence had been turned on me, for
' Mr. Barr was fulfilling his promise of
persuading his friend to introduce his
j system of speech as the order of the
evening. The ecstatic expression of Miss
Kingsley's face, as well as the few words
j I had heard him utter, were sufficient to
: show that he had been successful; but
j winking her eyes more rapidly than ever
! «he whispered in my ear with an imita-
tion, as I thought, of her master's style:
"It is to lie."
Almost immediately Mr. Spence, whose
bow I had thought rather formal and
like that of the rest of the world, came
up to me and said:
"Welcome, Miss Harlan, to our circle.
i know your aunt—a massive woman in-
tellectually, and my benefactor. As 1
think our hostess has already intimated
to you, it is the wish of some of the
company that I should give a practical
illustration of certain views regarding
the essence of speech peculiar to me, of
which it may be you have heard from
your kinswoman or others, and which
are a corollary of the general truth or
virtue known to the outside world as
moderation. I have, however, mme deli-
cacy in inflicting so great an incubus—
for it must seem such to the uninitiated
—upon one who, like you, is of the beau
monde and i«»ed to ita smooth ways. 1
sjieak knowingly, for I too in my day be-
longed to the beau monde, and am fa-
miliar with the easy, however volatile,
flow of speech incident thereto."

He h:td no am-
,and as we walked into tea together Miss j
Kingsley whispered that he was alout to j
practice his theory.
"Of conrse, Virginia, dear, every one |
will understand that yon am a novice, j
and yon will be at liberty to tal!v in your
natural manner. The rest of us aro ex- i
pecU'd to assist Mr. Spence as far as pos- |
sihle. I am all in a flutter I know 1
shall break down."
The room in which we took tea was a |
veritable snuggery. The servant found j
it difficult to get round the table, and
there was a strong smell of the frying
pan owing to tho vicinity of the tiny
kitchen. But these inconveniences, if
they were so to be called, merely added
to my zest and enjoyment. Here, in-
deed, was agreeable and talented society.
Aunt Agnes was right My associates
hitherto had been frivolous and volatile.
The world of fashion was a sham. What
a contrast—1 could not help making it—
between the insipid speeches of my for-
mer friends and tho clover talk of this
purely literary circle, where Ideas and
scholarship were recognized and crowned!
Mr. Spence and Mr. Barr sat on either
side of Miss Kingsley, and I glanced
from tho op.e to the other, debuting with i
myself whether 1 preferred the bold, j
strong beauty of tho artist, or the sub- i
tile and more delicate traits of feature I
of the philosopher. For. though 1 had
In-gun by regarding Mr. Spence almost
its commonplace in appearance, the ear- |
nestnerw of his manner and the serious
fervor of his eye3 gavij him an expres- i
sion of having a deep and genuine be lief
in his own theories, which when com-
pared with thoimp.tuous but more vol-
atile air of Paul Barr commended him
to my respect and admiration even while
I was flattered by tho gallantries of liin
rival.
It was Mr. Barr who first broke the
silence after we sat down to table by
asking mo if I had not passed the sum- 1
mer at Tinker's Reach. As he spoke in
the ordinary guiso 1 was surprised, until
it occurred to me that, as i» member of
another school, he could hardly be ex
[ttvfed, even from courtesy or friendship,
to practice doctrine? to which he couid
not subscribe.
"Yes," said 1.
"Malaria," began Mr. Spence.
There was a little murmur of ex-
pectation, and Mr Fleisch, brimming
over with excitement, said, "Bad drain
"No excuse. Sea near. Inhabitants
should agitate question." continue 1 Mr.
Spence.
"Every body apjiearance of health not-
withstanding," exclaimed Mis-- Kingsley.
"Overmuch ozone." said Mr. Spence.
"Unhealthy stimulus. Reaction later.'
added the little German.
"Are we clear? Air of Tinker's Reach
you know; so clever," whispered Miss
bition to grow rich. Indeed, it was one
of his tenets that no one should retain
more than a certain amount of projierty
—doubtle.vS enough to keep thj wolf
from the door and to permit tho con-
tinuation of scholarship, llow much more
unselfish and ennobling a life than that
of the feverish money getter, with all
his appliances of forgo and factory and
export and import! I had found an an-
swer to my yearnings and my unre.it in
this untiring devotion to abstract truth
A part of this w;ws true undoubtedly
of Paul Barr as well. Ardor and zeal
were the very essence of his philosophy,
but it was easy to divine by looking at
him —at least it app.-ared so to me—that
he lacked the spirit of pe.'.dntenl, unsel-
fish scholarship which distinguished his
rival. I felt that he was superficial, a:ul
that he would rather sacrifice his prin-
ciples than his own interests.
All the more did I have faith in this
instinctive preference for Mr. Spenc
from the fact that from the standpjint
of the picturesque and romantic every
thing was on the side of the artist-poet.
Tall, dashing, handsome and brilliant,
he was adapted anl doubtless accus-
tomed to carry hearts by storm.
No woman could receive his admiring
! glances without that slight thrill and
J flutter of the heart which proves the
presence of a fascinating man. On the
other hand tho master—1 liked to think
j of bim as such—was. as 1 have already
intimated, commonplace in appearance
| at the first glance, and save, for his mar-
i velous voice, distinguished for none of
those graces which attract mv sex. Per-
hap» it would be more just to say that
he sought to repress them rather than
that they did not exist, for when under
the influence of enthusiasm for his sci-
ence his face was inspiring to look upon.
Sr.ch were tho conclusions at which 1
arrived after sifting my impre&sions.
But never did my incapacity and dearth
of knowledge appear to me in a less
complimentary light than at this time.
| vowed again and again to give myself
up unreservedly to study, and first of all
to choose some special branch that would

"Do not mind me, I pray," said L "In-
deed, I have read your essays as well as
your poems, Mr. Spence, and am very
anxious to understand your system prac-
tically."
"Be it so," he replied. "1 did not
wish to inllict myself unduly. Art
should be sensitive. Do you not agree
with me. Miss Ilarlan?"
"How exquisite!" I heard Miss Kings-
ley whisper to Mr. Fleisch, with whom
she was standing a few feet distant gaz-
ing at the master.
It was Mr. Paul Barr who answered
the question for me;
"No, Miss Harlan, art should be ag-
gressive; art should be ardent I do not
agree with Mr. Spence. In fact, we never
agree upon any subject But we are
friends, lifelong bosom friends. Shake.
Charles, shake; we have not given the
grip and pressure of amity to-night"
He spoke in a deep, sonorous bass, and
extended to his friend a hirsute hand.
"It is true we belong to different
schools, Mr. Barr and I, Miss Harlan,"
said Mr. Spence. "He believes in the
supremacy of the untrammeled, as his
poems and pictures show; I, cn the con-
trary, give my voice to equipoise. But,
as he lias well said, we are devoted
friends."
"You shall judge between us," con-
tinned Paul Barr, addressing me. "Which
is better, the free undulation of self, or
eternal tension?"
Kingsley

down."
1 nodded to give her encouragement.
All this was somewhat bewildering, but
1 was able to follow the conversation. 1
was conscious, too, of Mr. Barr's eyes
fixed upon me with intensity. He would
eat hurriedly for a moment, and then
fold his arms and listen with his brow
almost buried in his black, bristly beard,
and his glance centered on me.
The talk went on briskly.
I rapidly grew proficient, and so ab-
sorbed did I become in an attempt made
by us three to carry on connectedly an
entire conversation in single words that
I was startled at hearing a voice just be-
liiud me say;
"Carriage."
I turned and found myself facc to face
with Mr. Spence. I understood that he
had come to announce to me the arrival
of my coupe.
"Servant," he added.
This told me that my maid was wait-
ing at the door.
"Home," I said to my hostess.
"Early."
"Horses."
"Sorry."
Her face expressed the regret at my
departure which it seemed to me any
extra words would have impaired the
artistic value of, so much of a convert
to the views regarding moderation had 1
become.
Miss Kingsley produced my wraps
from her boudoir, which Paul Barr, with
a brace of sighs, assisted me to put on.
I bade good evening to them all. Mr.
Spence made me a low but formal bow.
I could see his lip tremble. The instant
after, as with Paul Barr at my side I be-
gan to descend the stairs, a hurried step
behind told me that the master was
1 coming aiso. I went down to my car-
riage with one on either hand, the artist
poet pouring out a flood of words which
I scarcely heeded, while Mr. Spence in
an occasional monosyllable endeavored
to express the hope that he might meet
mo again.
Just ;ks I reached the threshold a su-
perb rose, which had been the only orna-
ment of my costume, chanced to fall
from my corsage on the marble floor. It
iay nearest to Mr. Spence, "who started
to pick it up, but he hesitated, and the
consequent delay was taken advantage
of by his rival, who had darted forward
at the same moment. Mr. Barr lifted
the rose and pressed it to his lips eager-
ly, twice and thrice. Then, without ask-
ing my leave, he put it in his button-
hole. It was he, too, who helped me into
my carriage. Ho bent low over the hand
1 gave him, while Mr. Spence, still irres-
olute, bowed from the shadow of the
doorway.
"May I have the honor of calling upon
you?" asked Paul Barr.
"Certainly, if yon wish, aud, Mr.
I Spence I shall be very glad to see you
also," I cried from the carriage window.

"Mein Gott! but it is not true, that
free undulation of self. It deceives, it
deludes; it is a—what word is it I am
seeking?—a—eh—I have it—boomerang
—a boomerang that plagues the invent-
or," said Mr. Fleisch.
"Refuted, well refuted!" said Mr.
Suenca "Fleisch has hit the mark. Tha
ify me to take sides intelligently. But
yet I had already a distinct preference. 1
felt that whatever the value of his sys-
tem Mr. Spence was thoroughly and
grandly in earnest His whole soul was
in the spread and development of his
peculiar doctrines. To obtain their
recognition he was willing to sacrifice
luxury, comfort and all the pleasures of
merely desultory work. If so, what bet-
ter field could 1 ch»x)3o than that in
which there were fellow workers al-
ready whom I knew and with whom 1
could sympathize? The more 1 thought
about the subj ft the stronger did the
argument in favor of this selection ap-
pear. At last ono morning, i;i an excess
of enthusiasm, 1 sat down and wrote a
note to Mr. S[>eiiee, asking if he would
be kind enough to call on me at his leis-
ure—"on a matter of business," 1 added,
so as to preclude any possible misinter-
pretation on his part.
This was about a week after Miss
Kingsley's tea. In the meantime I had
been to see Aunt Agnes twice, but had
not found her at home. I was curious
to hear what Miss Kingsley would say
concerning me, for I felt by no means
Hure that her remarks would be wholly
complimentary. Freely as I blamed my-
self for my conceited notions at the time
regarding the attentions of the two I
philosophers, I was not ready to absolve
her from the imputation of jealousy. It
was difficult to explain her conduct on
any ether ground, and 1 remembered
what Mrs. Marsh had said as to tender
relations between her aud Mr. Spence.
Indeed, I felt some irritation against her,
and a conviction that she was not likely
to be altogether my friend when we
were not face to face. However, she
; had chosen to insert my name in the
! next issue of The Mercury as havinz
I
I been present at a small gathering at her
"parlors" to inc-et "the distinguished
| scientist and poet, Charles Liversage
Spenco"—a notice which she doubtless
considered "sympathetic."
1 staid at home tho whole of the day
following that on which I wroto to Mr.
Spence, and was rewarded by receiving
a visit from him in the afternoon. He
seemed little at his ease when he en-
tered tho room, and 1 observed a num-
ber of details of dress and manner which
showed that he was not versed in the
usages of fashionable life despite his
early experiences. These lapses, or
rather differences, did not affect me dis-
agreeably—indeed, I was well content
that he should be as unlike as possible
tho flippant youths of so called society-
hut they were much more noticeable
than when he was in tho midst of such
artistic surroundings as he found at
Miss Kingsley's.
I judged it best to enter at once on the
matter I had at heart.
' You will pardon me, I am sure, Mr.
Spence, for taking up your valuable
time, when 1 tell yon my reason for ask-
ing you to call ujkjii me. I will be frank,
and say tliat I have been for some time
anxious to find an interest to which 1
could devote myself thoroughly and sys-
tematically, and one that was wholly in
sympathy with what 1 feel to bo my
tastes and aspirations. I have a great
deal of time at my disposal, and have
become weary of tho amusements of so-
ciety aud of the merely superficial char-
acter of iny studies hitherto. The exer-
cises to which I hail the good fortune to
listen at Miss Kingsley's the other even-
ing were almost a revelation to me.
They confirmed at least the opinion 1
bad liegun to have, that outside of what
the world calls fashionable circles there
is a class of people who, like your-
self, find their happiness in intellectual
aims and pleasures. So much interested
was I by what I heard then that 1 have
decided, after some hesitation on the
score of troubling you, to offer myself as
a stadeDt of your system of moderation.
It may be," I added, speaking hurriedly
in my desire to put the matter clearly
before him, and yet not to be prolix,
"you do not care for the co-operation of
persons so little advanced as I; for I tell
you honestly that though tolerably pro-
ficient in what are known as accom-
plishments, I am ignorant of all that ap-
pertains to serious knowledge. But be-
lieve me when I say that 1 am thorough-
ly in earnest, and will devote myself to
the cause with all my heart, in case you
think ir*; able to be of assistance."
Mr. Spence heard mo to the end with-
out interruption. I had looked straight
before me, intent alone upon presenting
my case in such a light that while he
knew the worst, he would not reject my
request to become one of his pupils. Nor
did he reply at once. I glanced at him,
and saw that he was blushing; but he
mastered his confusion, aod said Quietly;
