That made a company of six, for already there was Itlco, his bear and his Anna, ond Nlta that wicked Old Nlta, who danced tho "coquette" herself when they, bears and all, went late one night to the Hal Ilodln In Montmartre. How funny sho had looked, dancing, with her shapeless old moutii a-binll-Ing! Tramp stenmcrB! The" sn ell of them came sharply across the autumn wind. Weeks of motion and of stanch, and then at last tho dying of the en gine-throb, the crowding end the los tling, and tlie great rush out upon the snore of somo new land. On such voyage it was that Carlos and Hernia nla had Joined them, bringing a cln namon bear. Where had not these eight been what roads they had traveled togethe under sun and moou! This hoet of memories I'edro felt I their ensenco, In a single breath, as It were, bereft of detail save for some picture of a small Incident or two, trivial, but never to bo forgot Th heart of that past life ho held for moment In his own. No! no! he could not give It up. And yet, this othc call, which had been with him, It would seem, since birth, waj now grown too strong for resistance, lie foio his eyes he must seo the though of Ilia heart depicted by the labor of his brulti anil liaml. Ho must paint He was nn artist, an artist! "I will go!" said I'edro shuddcringly Then, as if shedding tho past, he squared his shoulders. I omo! said he to the animal. "We shall return to camp and toll tucin what we are going to do." Not until ho was within a hundred yards of the road did Pedro realize that he had been trespassing on what now evinced Itself to be a country estnto of some pretensions; and at this point the fact was mudo manifest by tho sight of a cedar and fir hedge, Near by was a closed gate, flanked by pillars of old brick and soapstone, giv ing ncces to a narrow footpath which wound along at the base of the hill ho had Just crossed. Apparently he had been dreaming away tho afternoon upon the farming section of the place. The sloping ground which lay between him and the hedge was smooth and soft, and tempt ed by It, Mr. Jones lay down and rolled a little way. Then he got up and trotted on some distance in ad vance or ins master, 'ine road was very near now, and there came sound of pattering footsteps from It and tho ewlsh of light garments Through the somber evergreens I'edro could see a gleam of white, moving swiftly. Then enmo tho noiso of heav ier tramping a man's step this time a man In baste at that. Then a worn an screamed, her frightened cry ring Ing out sharply. The bear, moved to curiosity by the sound, plunged through the hedge and disappeared, and I'edro, grasping his staff like a cudgel, set off down tho slope at a run, reaching the hedge (CopjiUbl If Dobtw-UenUl Co.) d don Aether in the lmy of i.i.. . , ,,(.

The 'fragrant branches whipped ncross Uie boy's face as ho rushed past, emerging breathless upon the high way. A dramatic scene awaited him. Down the road a thoroughly fright ened tramp was speeding from the ter rifying and wholly unexpected oppa ritlon of the bear, a cloud of .dust En veloping his horrified retreat. Close to the gateway, her purse clasped fran tically to her bosom, 6tood a girl, be wildered and alarmed a girl whom the last sunbeams bathed ln glory, gleaming on her hair that was "red- gold, liko'Jby." And to complete the picture, there stood Mr. Jones, erect upon his hind legs, his tongue lolling out and his clumsy paws waving from, her to I'edro. It was an introduction. That she was almost as much frightened by the bear as. by the tramp, whose attempted robbery the animal's sudden appearance had frus trated, was clear. At sight of Pedro she screamed again. "Oh! the bear!. Help, help! Oh, take him away!" she cried. "Abas!" said Pedro sharply, address ing hie pet But Mr. Jones did not obey Immediately, and for a moment the three stood as If transfixed. Then the boar dropped to all fours, and the spell of the tableau was broken. "Oh, how fortunate that you were near!" she began breathlessly. "It was a tramp. Ho wanted my little silk purso . . . but the bear fright ened him away; he came so suddenly the bear did, that Ib. In another In stant that dreadrul man would have had my bag. Not that I would have cared so much about the money, you know," she added a trifle apologeti cally, "but I have registered letters In It for my father. 1 have juwt come from the post olllce, and If they had been lost . . . but, perhaps, you do not understand Kngllsh?" nn, yes:" said I'edro taking his eyes from her slender throat and Hashing u brilliant smllo at her. "Oh yes, Indeed, I understand you!" ."Then please lt me thank you,' Fain sue, lier Interest In him growing every moment. "Hut there Is nothing for which I may receive thanks!" he protested. Actually, s!e st ciiied to consider th bear's Introduction sulliclent. Kum blingly ho removed his wide, soft hat and clasped It ukui his heart with both hamK How she stared! Wait ing or him to speak again, she gav her chin a tilt which accentuated thnt heavenly line. Involuntarily he pic tured drapery behind it, his artist Boui longing to depict It. hike a Ma donna. "It should be blue!" he said aloud I a queer, choked voice. "What did you say?" asked the girl with a puzzled expression. At realization of his speech his con fusion beenme complete, and suddenly his ono Idea was to escape her watel, ful eyes. "I that Is to say, er It was Mr. Jones entirely," ho stammered, "1 I did no'hlng, nada! It was all th bear." "Hut he Is your bear, evidently." she replied, "and I Insist that ho share the thanks with you." "Thank you!" said Pedro eagerly "You do not know the exquisite do light er till oh!" (lasplng, he sought to extricate himself from the awkwardness of the Impulsivo compll merit he had half-blurted out. "Forgive me, gracious lady, er er I must go now!" he finished lamely. "Well, I give you my most grateful thanks, whether you take them or not," said she with a smile. Put he was now too embarrassed to rally and did what one often does upon attaining a desired situation: be came suddenly panicky and ran away from it. I shall hold your words In my heart," said he, and then, with a ges tore half beseeching, half apologetic and wholly graceful, ho swept his hat upon his head, and, calling the bear. set off down tho road. The wording of his speech was odd and unexpected, and tho manner of his departure so precipitant that It looked like a retreat For ns long as he remained In sight sho stood gazing after him, her Interest In him cement ed by his flight. With a sigh she was scarcely conscious of uttering, so faint it was, sho reluctantly tumd ln at the gatn In the hedge and went slowly along the little winding path. CHAPTER II. A Belief In Signs. Put I'edro walked rapidly, so thnt the bear had dltliculty ln imitating the puce. The youth had now definitely made up his mind to tako the new course of action, for this second vision of the beautiful lady had confirmed his resolution, mid he felt he must gut back to the others quickly. In order to tell them before ho hnd time to change his mind. As ho walked he kept muttering "blue, blue!" and his brows wcro knit furiously. lie had to pass some villas with a semi-suburban look about them, and then an elm-shaded street, where conunerco and conservatism rubbed shoulders. Next, by switching off from this neighborhood, he passed between rows of frame houses, which dimln- shed ln their appearance of lmpor- anco and prosperity tho farther he went, until finally the street. If such It could properly bo called at this point, was fringed only by shacks that lenned Inquisitively over tho gutters, or braced themselves at a fearsome angle against .the slanting liltlo gar dens at their backs. , When these humble habitations came to an end there stood an old barn amid a stony Held, scattered over with paper, rubbish and dieenrded cans. In the lee of the dilapidated building a (Ire was burning Uuii the ground, and about it a group of people bad gath- red. Over the blaze a kettle had been hung, Into which an old woman was throwing greens from her apron. Near her, his back against the barn, lay a giant of a man", with a patch over one eye. This was Iieau-Jean, tho mighty Provencal, who at this moment was engaged In carving an elaborate design upon tho base of a bear-stave; while besldi! him lay the grent animal whom be ruled, asleep with its nose tucked under Its paws. Two younger omen Gunny, Dean-Jean's wife, and turdy Hermanla, wife of Carlos (who lay asleep near by) were mending their shoes. At a little distance, Anna, the pretty and irresponsible, na weaving a garland of bright, golden maple leaves, Rico watching adoringly, the while he p'oteuded to be busy nursing tho wounded paw of their animal. At sight and smell of his familiars Mr. Junes trotted up, engerly sniffing as he came. Old Nlta aroused herself at his approach. 'Tedro, you have let him loose again, oh, careless one!" sHe cried; some day he will betray you and be off! or, worse yet, stolen." "Cross Old Nlta!" replied Pedro, stepping into iho lighted circle and smiling at her. "He Is too fond of me to run away aren't you, old fol low, eh? What's to eat?" he Inquired, stooping over the kettle. "Greens! Is thnt all?" "There is rye brend a single loaf," responded Nlta. "Thanks to your go ing off by yourself, we have only tak en In a few pesetas all day!" "'You know very well, Aged One," rescinded I'edro, "that you take in as much alone as with me, or very nearly. And as for going off! . . . Well, I have something to tell you, but all must hear. Let us gather together first, and eat." Ko far the conversation had been In Spanish, the native tongue of these two. Now, as the conversation be enme general, they fell Into a patois Kngllsh, the language of tho road. sometimes slipping Into French, some times back Into Spnnish, their talk being as polyglot as their origin. "Now, do you want to hear, eh?" Pe dro asked, addressing tho compnny "If so, I shall tell my plan." Iieau-Jean replied first, ln his deep, husky voice. "Let the little one tell his notion. The plans of Pedro have brought "How will you do so?" asked Pedro eagerly. i uo not know that, either," re sponded Heau-Jcan. kf "Hast Thou Sinned, Even as I?" ninny a laugh, and so many a coin from the crowd on the market street." "My shoes will not stand another mending," said Hermanla. "If Pedro can tell a plan to get others I will heed." The lad has wit; did ho not con ceive the praying trick for Koko?" mumbled Old Nlta. "Come, child, what has thy brain devised now to help us?" "Oh, duu't, don't!" cried Pedro. 'Why do you say these things on this night of all nights? I cannot endure It! Call me evil names, and ubuse me, rather! Please! It is almost too hard for tne to do, and yet I must! Amlgos! It Is for myself only that I am planning my notion will not help you, ulas!" Ho buried his faco ln his hands, and for a moment there was an astonished silence. Such nn outburst of emotion on the part of their Joy mis Pedro was a thing undreamed of by any of them Into the silence tho voice of Old Nlta broke tremblingly. "Hast tliou sinned, even ns 1, that thou weep"st so? What Is It, Pedro of my heart?" "No, no!" ho cried, raising his head "I have not sinned, but I have seen line au exquisite curve from an ovnl chin to tho base of a white throat." "Ah! ln love!" exclaimed Rico and Anna simultaneously. "No; again no!" cried Pedro. "I do not love It, bu; I've got to paint It!' There was another Interval of puz zled silence, broken this timo by lleau-Jean. "Oh, littlo Pedro," said he, "what do you mean by 'paint If?" "Just that." said Pedro, striving to conquer his emotion. "1 nm going to be nn artist, a painter. Don't you understand?" Tho little group stirred rellevedly. This was nothing eo terrible, after all. Then for a few moments all spoke at once, voicing their relief. Hermnnlu's query mudo Itself evident abovo the jnt.ior of th8 rest. 1 "Hut why docs this distress you so? Always, always you have made pic tures. Pictures of us all, of every where, of everybody; alwnys, always scribbling little pictures upon bits of paper! Where Ib the trouble?" 'Tho troublo comes because I shall have to leave you all," stlld Pedro sadly. "I must go to the city, where can have the right things to work with, nnd colors colors colors! 1 must learn about them. It will be hard, but I can do It." Go awny! Leave them!" Such a clangor as they raised! "I have tried not to do this," he said as soon ns they let .him speak, but I can't help it. The art It bosses nie now!" "Hut wliero shnll you go?" asked Nlta. 'To New York; it la nearest," re lied Pedro. And how will you live?" from Car los. "I do not know." "Who will teach you?" queried Her manla. "I do not know." "And those colors, where will you get them?" asked Anna. "I do not know." "And knowing nothing, you are yet determined to go?" lleau-Jeon demanded. "Yes," answered Pedro, stubbornly "Then," said Beau-Jean, with a sigh, It Is our plain duty to help you." Next morning the eight set out to gether for tho city. Whatever strange undertaking Pedro was considering, they would all go along and assist if possible. And so, without any idea save that of action, they set forth, de termined though Indefinite. Tho coppers of yesterday were all expended for breakfast, and tho first step toward tho beginning of a day being accomplished, they betook them selves to the railroad track and walked beside It Hut noon camo and passed, and still no granlto towers loomed be fore their expectant eyes. Finally, to rest themselves, they turned from the wearying, shining vista of rails, and seated themselves upon the deud grass hesldo tho mllo post that bore the dis couraging legend: N. Y. 25 M. Harrison 1 M. Ily this time all were tired and hun gry. Worso yet, the bears were hun grya condition to be reckoned with before the need of tho masters. "Let us go," suggested I'edro, "Into the town which this dusty road leads to, and dance tho bears, pass the hat, und eat, eh?" Tho suggestion needed no second ing. With groans nnd complaints they got to their feet aguln, und set off for tho village. Hut fa to was not smiling uixm them Just then. Tho town was almost de serted nt this hour, llesldes which, near the end of the performance, Toto, who was supposed to "sing," raised his voice from his usual growling mono tone to a hungry growl. ' That sent tho watchers running off In all directions. Ruefully Old Nlta couuted tho earn ings. . "Only seven pennies In all," sho complained. "Hetter to ha;e rested beside the railroad." "It Is not enough to feed one bear, even, remarked Heuu-Jean, "and I am as hungry ns two." Meanwhllo Pedro wns talking to himself. "You got them Into this; otherwiso they would have traveled the regular way. Now you get them out." Then Pedro noticed a dingy lunch wagon by the broken curb, some fifty feet away. At the entrance to It stood a fat man with a dismal, flabby face. Ills hands were tucked beneath nn apron whose Immaculate whiteness shone out conspicuously umong the gray surroundings. The man was motionless, as though ho had become petrllled while waiting for cus tomers who never came. Ah!" said Pedro aloud, "I have an Idea! Stay where you are, all of you, until I beckon." Then, thrusting his hands Into his pockets, he strolled nonchnlaully away In the direction of the lunch wagon. It was a dingy affair, as has been said, and Uxn Its tawdry sides the lettering hnd grbwn dim. Still, It was easy enough to mako out the inscrip tion: The Elite- Pies, Coffee, Milk, Frankfurter Over the doorway was an invitation to "walk In," and underneath this tho owner's name "Isaac Lovejoy, Prop had been printed small. Pedro sidled up to tho Individual who. It would seem, bore this name and title. "Husiness thriving 'bout here asked Pedro conversationally, by way of nn opening. Tho man gave him a glance, but without moving to do so. , "Nope!" ho replied. "What! In n place whore travelers must pass so often?" Pedro exclaimed, lifting his eyebrows. "Yep!" said tho man, still motion loss. "What Is tho trouble? Are there uo travelers?" "Travelers, all right," said tho fat man, "but no customers! No one stops here!" "What's tho trouble, do you think?' Pedro Inquired. "The lunch-wngon tru.".t!" exclaimed tho man. "I'm nn iiideH'iidi:nt, I am; but everywhere I go where there might bo good business doin' say a corner near a factory,, or any such real wide-awake place one of them trust wagons Is tsero before me, all Bhined up ni' covered with gold paint nn' plate glass! A fellow like me ain't got no show." "Why don't you spruce up a little, then, eh?" asked Pedro. "Why don't you buy somethtn' so's I'll get tho money for to buy the gold paint with?" retorted tho other. "Hecnuso I have no money," Pedro repllod. Same reason here, In answer to your llrst, criod tno rat man triumphantly. "Supposing, now," snld Pedro, "that I could put you on the right track to competing with those trusts, eh?" "What d'yer mean?" demanded the man. "Those wagons of the trust they are all alike?" Yes," said Mr. Ixivejoy, "all the same; and very slick and fancy." Aha! Then what you want Is something entirely different from them; something to make people no tice you." "Sure, but what?" "That." replied Pedro, "is Just what I can tell you. I have a proposition to make." The man scowled at him for a mo ment, as though wondering nt the Im prudence of this whipper-snapper's of fering to deal with him. Then Pedro looked at him, and smiled one of those vivid, startling smiles that were pe culiar to him, and usually took people unawares, making them smllo back at him before they really knew what they were doing. Nor did It fall this time. The flaccid face of the lunch-wagon man expanded Into a broad grlu, "That's it!" exclulmed Pedro. "Thut's what?" asked tho man, grow ing serious again. "Oh, don't spoil It!" cried the lad, "that smile Is Just what you need to attract customers!" This time the man laughed. "Well," said he, "what is your prop osition, young one?" "I have some friends with me," be- gan I'edro; "all those over there and the bears. We are all hungry, seo? Now I willpa!nt you a picture on the side of your wagon, and also I will paint for you a new sign; nnd If, when I have finished, you agree that the sign and the picture will bring you customers In the future, you will feed us all, not forgottlng the bears, eh?" The fat man considered a long time before replying, and Pedro watched him unxlouuly. "Well," he said at last, "tho old dog wagon couldn't look no worse'n It do now; an my stock what I have laid In will get spoiled if it don't get cat You can have a try, young one, if you like." "Hurrah!" said Pedro, and hurried over to tell Nlta and the others. A musty hardwuro store thut also sold grain and lumber, furnished a few crude materials. The fat man paid for them, nnd Pedro carried them over to tho cart nnd set to work. "Please, one thing," he begged of Its proprietor, "don't you look till all Is finished." "All right," agreed tho man, "1 11 sit here. Just Inside the door, and read outer the paper till you're done." Pedro answered nothing, but gave a glance ot a lit tin mirror that hung Just opposite to where tho uncoil prions Mr. Lovejoy sat, whipped off the old green coat and began working frantically. The proprietor settled himself on tho little stool near tho door, nnd, faithful to hla promise, unfolded a pink evening paper. Cautiously, and speaking not at nil, Old Nlta drew near, leading Mr. Jones. They sat down In the dust beside) the step nnd watched Pedro In silence. Then came Heau Jean und Koko, followed by Gunny, who settled themselves beside tho old woman. Itefore half an hour was gone all tho town, for the first time In the lunch wagon's history, had clustered before its door. As for Pe dro; he had forgotten that there was a world whirl) might come to gnpe nd crltleiz," Ho was working. Hut If tho painter wns unconscious of the crowd, the proprietor was not. Twice he wanted to move, but dared not; and as the crowd Increased, so did his Impatience. For half an hour longer or more Pe dro worked, glancing now nnd then at tho little mirror Just Inside the door, In which Mr. Lovejoy's unconscious faco was reflected. There began to bo an occasional tittering from tho crowd, nnd then, later, spontaneous bursts of laughter. "Whin kin I come out?" cried Mr. Ijovejoy nt Intervals, and "Walt," commanded Pedro. Fever ishly ho added tho finishing touches to bis production, and then at length stood back und Invited his patron to descend. As the fat man came down tho steps there was a little burst of applause, which he was at a loss to understand until he stood before his transformed place of business. All tho old lettering, nlready faint, hnd been obliterated, and In tho cen ter of the largest space was a portrait head of himself n large, laughing por trait, Just like hi in, yet irresistibly merry. It was a face nt which one In stantly smiled In sympathy; indeed It woro tho very "smile to attract cus tomers," ns Pedro hnd said. Over this extraordinary production Pedro had painted in neat, black letters: t.

"You win!" ho said to Pedro, a Binllo like that ln tho picture over spreading his large countenance. In a seco'nd the square was In an uproar, the crowd expressing Its de light noisily.
