T BASCOM’S .
I ARISTOCRACY
By JASPER COLIMCWOOD
£ Copyright, JUKI, by E. Warner
When I iorhfii Bascota's effects were
moved lido tlie Holbein studios the
other occupants gathered in the flout
windows uml jeered openly, Bascom,
whose hearing was singularly acute,
caught the -comments as far up as the
third floor. What those on the fourth
tioor thought was scarcely of impor-
tance. The singular unanimity of
opinion among the dwfilers of the three
lower Poors argued that those up above
would scarcely la* moved to comment
approvingly in defiance of their fel-
lows.
The only trouble with Itnscom's ef-
fects whs that they were new—dis-
tressingly new. I'puui the oilcloth for
the tiny kitchen to the I’eralau rugs
and Turkish hangings they all came
from first hand stores. The Holbein
ites weie unaccustomed to such ex-
travagances. They had bought second
hand things when they had first set
up and thereby had acquired merit In
the eyes of those already established.
Ii was uuoolniidan, as Tolliver ex-
pressed it. to have glaring new furni-
ture and things in one's studio. It
argued I lie possession of unseemly
quantities of money and small artistic
merit from Hie moment that the first
delivery wagon bucked up to tbe door
Itaseotn lost his surname, so far as
Ids fellows were concerned, unii gained
the title of the Aristocrat. It was
Tolliver's nickname, but It spread rap
idly, and no I reach communist ever
hated the name more than the llol-
belnltes. •
As soon as the place had been set-
tled Bascom went arouud one morn-
ing delivering invitations for a studio
tea Hint afternoon There were many
moved to accept the Invitation, for the
delivery wagon of a leading grocery
had unloaded much that looked at-
tractive that morning.
But Tolliver made a personal can-
vass, and when Bascom IKirried home
that afternoon, laden with additional
packages, he was met by a neat pile
of regrets carefully pinned upon bis
door. As a result of Tolliver's activity
it bad been decided to snub Ibis aris-
tocrat who sought by means of the tea
to flaunt bis rich possessions before
their eyes. It was tmhoheinlan, and,
w hile Ids presence lmd to be tolerated,
,1 i'iemlslilp and fellowship should Ire
withheld.
Bascom was no fool. Fie readily per-
ceived why he was being snubbed and
(quietly accepted the situation. He
nodded friendlll.v to the men when he
met them In the halls and gravely re
Amoved his hat when he pnssod the wo
men. For 1 lie-rest he went to work,
and found in this an absorption which
did not permit 1dm to worry about the
attitude of Ids neighbors. He missed
their companionship, but he had letters
in plenty. Since the artistic colony re-
fused to recognize hint he devoted him-
self to his society engagement? when
time permitted, thereby bringing forth
additional comment ns to the gor-
geousaess of his garments. "
Then eniue Miss Alice Caswell. She
was hut a decorator of china, but her
effects were pitifully meager, and she
was nt onco accepted by the rest of the
Inhabitants as a bohemian.
She was n bright, brisk, even tem-
pered girl, and before the week was
out site bad made friends even with
the janitor, '«a feat hitherto supposed
to be impossible. .She hsd the studio
across the hall from Bascom, and be-
fore she had learned of his Isolation
had already formed, a friendship with
him. She had needed some material
which she did not have time to go out
for, nnd be had generously supplied her
wants. She had noted with approving
eye his skill as n draftsman and line
seuse of color. After tbot she soon ac-
quired the habit of dropping in to ask
bis advice about her designs, finding
bis wide experience of great value.
By tlie time tbe other dwellers in
the studio building had thought to
warn her of tbe intruder in their col-
ony the intruder had become her men-
tor, and she grieved greatly ns one
after another the eest of tlio artists let
slip some caustic fling.
"But he is a really clever man.” she
assured Tolliver one day os he sat
pfcrched In the window seat declaiming
against tbe Aristocrat “I assure you
that his pointings are very much above
the average.”
Tolliver snorted contemptuously.
"My dear child,” he remarked pater-
nally, “you do some very clever china
work. Don't try.to get beyond it and
set up as a critic. There never was a
man who settled here with new
furniture. He can’t be an artist.” Then
the conversation dropped. There was
no arguing with Tolliver when be call-
ed one "dear child.”
A few weeks Inter she bad a birth-
day pirrty. Early In the morning tbe
upants of tbe other studios began
i (n
meat of the criticism wras because she
was openly Ills champion and the rest
had decided to respect her ‘‘delusion,”
as they termed' it. She. was so happy
getting the spread ready that she never
noticed the clock until all of the prep-
arations hud been jnode? *
"Why, It's !1!” site said wondeiingly.
"I asked them to come in about 8. I’ll
take a little run down the hall and re-
mind some of I hern."
Bascom sank into the easy chair in
front of the cnnuel coal lire. Cunnl-l
coal was a luxury in the Holbein flats,
but he hud sent two scuttlefule that
morning in honor of the event. Alice
ran down the hall to Tolliver's door.
There pinned to a panel, was the sign,
"Gone to the theater." She retraced
her steps to the stairway. On every
door was some card giving notice that
the owner had gone out. She de-
scended to the lower floors. Apparent-
ly not a soul remained In the building.
Bascom by the fireplace was startled
by the tiny tigure that darted In and
sunk sobbing upon the homemade cozy
corner.
It took small questioning to get at
the trouble. Tbe cause he already
knew. The form the opposition had
taken was all he needed to ask.
"I wouldn't have minded so much,"
she sobbed, "only 1 did so want them
to meet you and see how nice you
really were.”
"Did you get it all up for mo,” he
demanded eagerly.
She nodded. "That isn't the worst
of It,” she confessed. "I even invented
the birthday. Mine was seven months
away and I couldn't wait. I thought
they would he more frpt to' come to a
birthday party. Now I have all their
presents and they wouldn't come." .
“He drew the tearful-little face down
upon his shoulder. "Little girl," lie
said gently, "don't you think they
would be more apt to come to a wed
diV’V”
"I couldn’t invent that,” she pro
tested In a mulllcd voice.
"It's very easy," he preslsted. “.lust
say ‘yes.’ I will look after the rest. 1
have wanted to ask you for a long
time."
Even Tolliver came to the wedding
and led the chorus of "He's a jolly
good fellow” ns he poured several
quarts or rice down the elevator shaft
after the departing pair, .lames had
discovered that Bascom really had to
work for a living, and that the studio
had been furnished by a maiden aunt,
who insisted that he be started right.

An Armenian Legend.
Ararat, .one of the most majestic
niountaii J in the world, rises 17,000
feet above the vast flat plain which
bears Its iVme and reigns over the snr
rounding mountains. Early in the
morning, while all the vnlleys of Ara- ]
rat and tbe.neighboring mountains are
burled in shadow, the white top of the
Scriptural mountain gleams beautiful
in the first beams of the sun.
The Armenian people tell this story ,
about the Inhabitants of Pharbee:
Onto the devil and a Pharbee man
laid a wager as to which should first
see the sun. The one Who 'saw it first
was to box the other's ears. "Very
well,” said the Armenlnn, and he lay-
down nnd slept sweetly, while the
devil, Itching do punish his enemy,
stood looking eastwnrd, and with eager
eyes watched the whole night for the
sunrise. Early in the morning the
Pharbee man rose and pointing to the
top of the Ararat, which was already
shining In tho sun, cried Joyfully. "I
see It!” The devil was vanquished.
The Pharbee man, with his strong
1 hand, boxed the devil’s enrs. Ever
since that time the devil has been
nfrnid of the people of the Armenian
village of Pharbee.
