al do this lots of times" Elsie told
young Wilkins. my mother says there's
more joy in our studio over one drunk
saved than the ninety sober.
Once my sister Stephanie brought in a
half frozen bag, and when the bag thawed
out she tried to kidnap me. And once my
sister Marian hauled in stray dog, and
he went mad and bit Katie-the maid,
you know. And once Floyd Drake-he
and Stephanie are going to be married
next month-once Floyd brought in a
starving legless boy, and the legless boy
stole my mothers diamonds, and got
away with them! We have some awfully
funny times!" Elsie laughed gaily.
Young Wilkins looked at the uncon-
cerned figure beside him. Publicity,
tonic for the Madden family, was marked
with cross-bones and a skull on his family
shelf. But when Elsie smiled up at him,
his face lost its austerity.
When the car stopped, Elsie said to
her chauffeur: Jimmie, come around

discussing sex-problem plot with Floyd
Drake. Young Wilkins mouth went
down.
Elsie saw the sneer, and drew back in
her corner of the divan.
81 must be going young Wilkins said
briefly, and stood up.
He crossed the room to Jeffries.
"Good night, Mrs. Maddern," he said,
holding out his hand. His adieux to Elsie's
people held barely perceptible hint of
condescension. He shook hands hurriedly
with Elsie. His departure had an air of
fnality.
Elsie's dark eyes followed him out.
THE end seat of the fifth row in the
orchestra was now occupied each night
and matinee by stranger. Elsie learned
to overlook it, as she coquetted through
Vashti Vanity. The Madden pride,
the Madden temper, the Madden bluff,
ran strong through Elsie's veins. But,
like the poor old clown Punchinello, when

"That's shame!" calculated Elsie,
bending forward. "My mother says
that's the way they get started" She
swung open the limousine door. "Offi-
cert she called.
"Sh-sh!' expostulated young Will
kins, conscious of the rabble.
"Officer!" repeated Elsie loudly.
The big Broadway policeman, his hand
on the girls shoulder, turned. He knew
Elsie Madden, of the Maddern family,
by sight, and he touched his hat respect
fully.
"What has she done, officer" called
Elsie.
"I'm locking her up for safety, Miss
Maddern," replied the arm of the law.
"She was spilled out of taxi"
"Too young to go to the night court,
officer" vetoed Elsie. "Ill take charge
of her. Bring her here"
Miss Maddern!" interfered young
Wilkins.
The officer, evidently familiar with the
idiosyncrasies of the Madden family,
made majestic way through the gaping
crowd, holding up the girl.
"Put her in here, officer" commanded
Lisle. we IL Keep Her overnight anu lec-
ture her in the morning-you know how
my mother can talk to them. Put her in,

The officer deposited the helpless girl on
the rear seat of the limousine, touched
his hat, and closed the door. In the same
moment the whistle of the crossing police
man sounded, and the blockade broke.

the play was over and the public shut out,
Elsie crept off to solitude.
The Madden family held a council.
Versed in affairs of the heart, they did not
say that Elsie was overworked or over
strung. Young Wilkins was ardently
discussed. The wrath of the Maddern
family rose. Young Wilkins was set down
as snob and snipe.
Elsie came in at the height of the con-
fab. Jeffries told her what they had been
talking about. ooh, don't!' said Elsie,
her lip quivering.
"You care about him, don't you,
honey?" questioned Mary Helen solicit
tously.
Elsie nodded.
"A doggoned shame!' calculated Mar

II don't know confessed Elsie.
"He's pretty good-looking, admitted
Stephanie. "But pretty is as pretty

and get her out" Ana to young Will
kins, "You help She directed the
operation.
The chauffeur held up his end with
cheerful solidity. Young Wilkins strove
to appear professionally impersonal with
his.
The Madderns received the Broadway
outcast with open arms. Elsie volun-
teered to curl up that night on divan,
and the dubious guest was laid away in
Elsie's bed, and the dragon-embroidered
portieres were drawn on her.
YOUNG Wilkins was introduced to Ell
sizes family, and invited to supper.
Every night the Madden assembly had
midnight collation. served from little
restaurant around the corner, each person
selecting his own dish. Elsie expressed
a desire for strawberry ice-cream and
chocolate cake.
"You take it, too" she told young Will
kins.
There was a running fire of up-to-the-
minute theatrical gossip as sauce for the
conglomerate feast. Elsie and young
Wilkins sat on the divan and ate ice
cream and cake.
Young Wilkins put his saucer down
beside Elsie's. A shadow was settling on
his face. He glanced about the sumptu-
ously furnished room-at the beringed
Jeffries heartily eating shrimps; at the
fair and ford Mary Helen studying a
music score and sometimes missing her
mouth with her club sandwich; at Marian,
eating chops and English mullins in shirt
waist and stiff linen collar; at Stephanie,
