patron. ShaueMcDermid winws to
lell Liane the man wounded In the
gun fire will recover.
At Muriel Ladd's home Llane ■
train meets the handsome stranger
who rpoke to her in the theatre.
He is VAN ROBAKD and when C .«
hears hi* name the makes more to
do with him. Llane agrees with re-
luctance. Nn. Cleespaugh ask* Ciuw
to let Llane stay with her during
the winter. Muriel leaves the theatre
one evening with CHUCK DES-
MOND, newspaper man, and Mrs.
Ladd, believing the two have el-
oped, asks Robard to find them. Van
enlists Llane's aid. He makes love
to Llane, but later the girl is crush-
ed when Elsie tells her Robard is
said to be Mrs. Ladd's lover.
Muriel telephones nest morning
from a New York hotel where she
has spent the night discreetly. Ll-
ane tries to forget Van Robard.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Tiie visiting star that week was
Curtis Blue, i 35 blonde, with eyes of
so deep a color they seemed almost
the "violet eyes" of Victorian novels.
He was of the inatlnee idol tribe
and professed to hate It. He had
a wife somwhere In Hollywood, a
feverish, dark, young woman who
vas teaching the Mayfair accent to
Queenie Whitebait, the comedy star.
"Isn't he a lamb?" asked Muriel
the day of his arival.
"He's rather nice. Mother played I
with him in 'Cabbages and Kings,'
Llane returned indifferently.
"You knew him before, then?
Why. you sly piece!" And Muriel
pretended to see something | that
*ras not there.
Blue came along perfectly groom-
ed in his dark gray coat and strip-
ed trousers, his beautiful curved
soft gray hat. His bow was a mi-
racle of precision. He stopped with
a side glance for the liscious Miss
Ladd in her apple green sports shirt
and shorts, her brown legs shapley
and seductively bare.
Llane I performed introductions
and Muriel cooed at him. "I en-
Joyed your performance so much!"
He looked as modest as possible.
"I thought you had threatened to
break into the company this sea-
son," he said to Liane.
"You wretch," she pouted. "When
I asked your advice last winter you
said not to go on the stage what-
ever else I did. You told me I was
an awkard cub, that 1 needed to
learn to talk and walk and smile
properly. You told me I said
'gonna.'
"Well, so you did," he. returned,
flashing his pustly famous smile at
her. "But you've improved. You
might learn. Who can tell?"
Liane threw out her hands in de-
spair. "How is a poor girl to know
what to do? First you say 'yes'
then you say 'no.' I'm bewildered."
"Oh, you'll marry within the year
and settle down to have a flock of
babies." Blue drawled. "Maybe it's
the best way. I don't know."
. "No, I shan't! How horrled of
you!" she flamed. Muriel inter-
posed, dulcet-toned. "How about me,
Mr. Blue? Wouldd you say 1 had a
chance?'
* *
He favored her with an eye half
Insolent, half honestly appraising.
"Tiie chorus for you," he said with
coolndps. "You've the looks, the
nerve. That is, if you can dance.
It doesn't matter whether you sing
or not and you can speak like a
macaw for all they care."
M'uriel pouted. "You're very
flattering, I must cay."
"Well, you asked me."
"So I did. Come along and have
a cocktail with me to prove you
didn't mean to hurt my feelings."
He glanced at his watch. "Five
o'clock. How far is it? I've got to
be back at the inn by six. Must
have an early dinner or I'm all
wrong for the evening perform-
ance."
Muriel said airily. "I'll drive like
a streak. You ne?d a pick-me-up
with that grouch of yours."
He stared at her. He. the great
Blue, being cheeked by a flapper!
Eut she was so pretty, so saucy, he
decided to forgive and forget. Be-
sides, a spot of something would
perk him up.
Llane watched them climb into
the foedy rpAd&ter half amu/)2d,
half envious. No wonder Muriel aW
ways got her man! She certainly
went after this one calmly enough.
Llane wondered Just how deep her
feeling for the impecunious Chuck
Desmond had bitten. Huriel was
frightfully susceptible. She was the
modern feminine version of the rov-
ing sailor. She had a boy In every
port.
Even now, Liane did not like to
think about that night the had
hunted tor Muriel with Van Ho-
bard. Was it true—wiiut Elsie hud
said about him and Muriel's moth-
er? She shuddered away from the
and straightforward. But then,
what did she really know about
hinv? Nothing except that lie had a
few million dollars, played polo, and
had been a soldier when .she, Llane,
had been in kindergarten. He must
be 35. That seemed terrifically old
to Liane. And why was her mother
so bitter about him? How could .she
ever have known him? Was it some
old scandal, some hall-forgotten
newspaper story, that her mother
remembered.
Cass was really very straightlaced.
actually prim She seemed always
to be throwing guards about Liane,
almost in the manner of the 80 s.
•Mother would in full force,"
thought the young girl shrewdly.
"But why, I wonder? She seemed
from the little she says to have
had a gay carefree time herself as
a young girl. But then as she laway.s
reminds me, she didn't grow up in
New York."
Liane went down the aisle,
through the now darkened theater.
A workman was hammering away
at a set and the chief electrician,
a tall, bold-looking young Dane,
stopped to stare at her. She felt
Impelled to explain her presence
there. "I'm looking for my moth-
er," she said.
His smile angered her. "Ho, the
mamma's girl!" he returned, sllk-
ily. "Always so polite, so correct.
Wonder what she is really like, this
haughty one."
* « ♦
Liane tossed her head and started
to pass. In her haste she did not
notice the tangle of wires and she
stumbled and would have fallen if
the big man had not reached out
and caught her in his arms.
Drat that man His clothes
smelled of pipe tobacco and winier-
green. Liane tried to free herself,
regain some of her loc>fc dignity.
Before she knew actually what was
happening he had planted his big
face next hers, liad kissed her
squarely on the mouth.
She screamed. "You—you awful
creature!" She struck out at him
wildly, her small fists flailing him.
He was laughing, holding her tight.
Oh, how she hated him! Now she
thought, she knew how murderers
felt. The lust fcr killing. She
knew what it meant to se red.
"You let me go—" she was wail-
ing, appalled to find her strength
availed her nothing against his
rock-ribbed hardness, she tasted
the salt of her own angry tears.
Suddenly a hurricane was upon
them. The tall Dane went whirl-
ing.
unclean, from this distasteful con-
tact.
"Me certainly was," she said so-
bering. "I've never spoken three
words to him in all my life."
"Wot a nerve!" Chuck Desmond
shot his cuffs and favored the van-
quished one with a baleful store.
"He's the kind of bird who gets his
picture on the front pages when a
man-hunt is on," he said.
"See here, my god man," flipping
ids card in the direction of the
furious electrician. "If ever I hear
of you annoying the Duchess again
I'll have my three pet police cap-
tains on your neck with charges
that won t sound pretty with the
morning coffee."
Desmond stuck out his arm and
Liane crooked her fingers over it
gratefully. "I'll see you to your
carriage." he told her.
"You were wonderful just now,"
Liane marveled as they walked
down the road.
"Whre's this-here-now Miss Ladd
gone and fluttered away to?" de-
manded Charles Desmond, sticking
tiie inevitable cigaret between his
lips and hunting in five sparatc
pockets for the non-existent match.
"Here it's my day off and every-
thing and I get on my bike and
trail away out here to find her
missing!"
Liane started to explain but
thought better of it. "She—she
went home," she finished lamely.
But Chuck hud been watching her
expressive face.
'Got herself'another boy friend?"
he inquired.
"There was—somebody Just drop-
ped in," Unproved Muriel's friend.
"Oh, yeah?" Desmond appeared
doubtful. "Well, I can't waste the
entire evening Just because she
changed her mind. How about you
troting off and having dinner with
me? I can't tjat alone. I'm funny
that way. Even so since earliest
chlldhtjod."
"Oh , dear, if mother only would
let me!" cried Liane childishly.
"Well, there's nothing like in-
quiring," Chuck said.
Liane Introduced the pair and to
her utter amazement Cass beamed
on the young man.
"Wasn't your mother Grace
Franks, who played Shakesperean
roles long years ago?" she Inquired.
Charles said "yes" very solemnly.
"I thought so," Cass nodded
"You run along, Liane, and change
your dress while I talk to Mr. Des-
mond. There are so many things
I want to ask him."
Will wonders never cease,
thought Llane, as she hastily slip-
ped into her one presentable frock.
Chuck Desmond wus funny. He
was nice, even though he wasn't
