about &c start for the subway, three
days after the events narrated in our
last chapter
Harold Dogstory plunged his hand into
his pockets and dug up 50 cents.
7 expect TO get some money from the
star to-day" he said with regret, hand
ing over the small change to his wife.
she has appointed me her manager as
well as her press agent. and 1 Will have
charge Of everything"
Katherine TOOK the chicken feed and
sighed
Are you sure this one is all righty'
she inquired. Remember. a dollar in
the hand is worth a hundred promises.
and you have been stung so often before
by mere promises"
Harold waved the suggestion aside
laushingiy.
Absurd, ne declared. Miss de Lin
gerie has the promised hacking OF a PITTS
burg millionaire and even II he passed
her Up the show could get along for
weeks on the diamonds that woman
wears. Would you believe It. L saw her
rocks yesterday. She has a ton OF stones.

FOR Miss Dorothy de Lingerie"
Harold Dogstory. nervously fumblins
his card case in an effort 10 select a card
which was spotless. handed the paste
board TO the pompous turnkey In livery al
the Hotel Of the 81. Midas
Certainly. monsieur. Madame Is ex-
pccting you"
Harold followed the turnkey into the
elevator and in a few minutes was ush-
cred into the anteroom OF the suite occu-
pied by Mile. de Lingerie. Here a French
maid took his hat and stick, and the
turnkey. retired, obsequiously bowling TO
our hero as he passed
7 viii tell ze Madame Eat ze American
gentleman IS here-vot you call hinge

After several moments delay. during
which time our hero carefully calcu-
lated that the French actress was living
on scale Of magnifcence that would
easily permit him 10 get any salary he
cared to ask. he was uShered into the
serene presence.
An. but Dorothy de Lingerie was In
deed beautiful Tail. slender, svelte.
with a wealth Of dark brown hair, a
pale. wistful countenance, the gaze of a
gazelle, and the charm OF a Lorelei she
came 10 Harold and fairly dazzled him
with her beauty as she held out her
graceful. taDered fingers
The moment was so full Of meaning
to our hero, his emotions at beholding
this fascinating creature we've so iDde-
scribable. that II is absolutely necessary

CHAPTER VI.



Mother won't give me any money
These terrible words fell from the
CHASTITY lips Of young Reginald Keane.
the son Of Pittsburg's famous millionaire.
as he burst into the dressing-room Of
Dorothy de Lingerie, the star Of The
Girl In the Nightsown," after the matt
nee Performance at the opera house IN

shut the door," commanded Harold
Dogstory, the press agent. who was con-
ferrtng with the star AT the time Regi-
nald broke the dread tidings we must
not let the company suspect that we can
not pay salaries"
Reginald obeyed the imperious young
man, who now that the ship seemed TO
have gone upon the rocks assumed com
mand in no uncertain tones.
we must pawn your diamonds. Miss
de Lingerie" he continued briskly. we
need money for salaries and for rail-
road fares. There was only 1916 In the
house this afternoon, and there won't be
much more tonight"
Reginald Keane, the young son OF the
famous Pittsburg millionaire. sank upon
a couch and sobbed.
ITO think that I should bring the wo-
man love to such extremities that she
must pawn her family jewels" he cried
Historically. I was sure the show would
make hit, but here We are. stranded
in Willimantic, and you have to pawn
your diamonds"
oh If Oh ~, =,
Harold harshly Miss de Lingerie. YOU
understand, Of course, how much I re-
greet this. but there is no other way. If
We don't pawn the diamonds the actors
may bring suit and attach not only the
scenery, but the diamonds themselves.
Quick, the Jewels"
Dorothy de Lingerie. picking up the
glittering baubles from her dressing
table. handed them 10 the press agent
with an air or noble self-sacrIfce and
resignation.
Take them. she said dramatically.
This necklace was a present from the
Prince Of Monaco, who said It cost 10000
forms. You should get something on il:
enough to tide US over our troubles.
This ring with the three large stones
came from certain high official in Eng
land, whose name am not at liberty 10

enough money TO return to New York.

Ing boy who said he would star me"
And ignoring the inarticulate cries %

CHAPTER III.
Signing the Papers.

Now YOU understand. Mr.. Dogstory,
just what I want?"
Dorothy de Lingerie spoke in a fiawiess
English without a trace OF a foreign ac-
cent. a feat which she laughinglv ex-
planned was due to the fact that her real
name was Maggie McHugh. while the
French name had been assumed merely
10 give the press agent an opportunity
TO describe her ancestral estates and her
historical chateau in the south OF France.
Perfectly. Miss de Lingerie" rerlied
Harold. In other words you want me
TO hand out lot OF bull con 10 the news
paper men about what great actress
you are, how YOU took Paris and Rome
and some OF those other wise burgs by
storm, how the Duke de Chameroux
nearly killed himself because OF despair
at your refusal to marry him and a few
other frllIs and literary furbelows just
to make people think you are a great
actress. Is that the dope?"
That, I believe. is the proposition I
have outlined to YOU" responded the
beautiful actress haughtily
Although. Of course, you have never
