"a little. She'll do anything we ask
She's good girl that way"
The three were still buried in discus
sion when Lorelei appeared at the
door.
"I'm going over to Mabel's," she
paused moment to say. "I'll be back
early, mother"
In Peter Knights eyes, as he gazed
at his daughter, there was something
akin to shame; but Jim evinced only
hard, calculating appraisal. Both men
inwardly acknowledged that the moth
er had spoken less than half the truth,
for the girl was extravagantly. be-
witchingly attractive. Her face and
form would have been noticeable any
where and under any circumstances;
but now, in contrast with the unmodi-
fed LONELINESS of her parents and
brother her comellness was almost
startling. The others seemed to har-
monze with their drab surroundings,
with the dull, unattractive house and
its furnishings, but Lorelel was in vio-
lent opposition to everything about her.
She wore her beauty unconsclously.
too, as a princess wears the purple OF
her rank. Neither in speech nor in
look did she show a trace of her ia
TIERS fatuous commonplaceness, and
she gave no sign of her mothers coldly
calculating disposition. Equally the
girl differed from her brother, for Jim
was anemic, underdeveloped, sallow;
his only mark Of distinction being his
bright and impudeEt eye, while she
was full-blooded, healthy and clean.
Splendldly distinctive, from her crown
Of warm amber hair to her shapely
slender feet, 1t seemed that all the
hopes, all the aspirations, all the long
ings Of bygone generations of knights
had fowered In her. As muddy waters
purify themselves in running, so had
the Knight blood, coming through un-
pleasant channels, finally clarified and
sweetened itself in this girl.
In the doorway she hesitated an in.
slant, favoring the group with her
shadowy, impersonal smile. In her
gaze there was faint inquiry, for 1t
was plain that she had interrupted a
serious discussion. She came forward
and rested hand upon her fathers
thinly haired bullet head. Peter
reached up and took It in his own
moist palm.
1--WE were just talking about you,"
he said.
"YesT The smile remained as the
girls touch fingered.
"Your ma thinks I'd better accept
that New York offer on your account"
"On miner don't understand"
Peter stroked the hand in his clasp,
and his weak, upturned face was
wrinkled with apprehension. "She
thinks you should see the world and
make something Of yourself"
"That would be nice" Lorelei's lips
we're still parted as she turned toward
her mother In some bewilderment.

Mrs. Knight inquired.
"Why, yes; l suppose So"
"We're poor-poorer than we've ever
been. Jim will have to work, and so
will you"

At this juncture Mrs. Knight, hav-
ing finished the supper dishes and set
her bread to rise, entered the shoddy
parlor. Jim turned to her, struggling

rear. Along the sides ran mirrors, be-

shelf. One section of the wall was de-
voted to telegraph and cable forms,
bearing messages of felicitation at the
opening of "The Revue of 1913" A
zoologist would have found the display
uninteresting; but a society reporter
would have reveled in the names--aud
especially in the sentiments-inscribed
upon the yellow sheets. Some were ad-
dressed to Lorelei knight, others to
Lllas Lynn, her roommate.
Pope found Lorelei completely
dressed, in expectation of his arrival.
She wore the white and silver first-act
costume of the Fairy Princess. Both
she and her mother were plainly nom
plused at the appearance of their
caller; but Mrs. knight recovered
quickly from the shock and said agree
ably:
"Lorelei was frightened to death at
your message yesterday. She was al
most afraid to let you interview her
after what you wrote about Adoree
Demorest."
Pope shrugged. "Your daughter is
altogether different to the star Of the
Palace Garden, Mrs. Knight. Demo

and-I don't like bad women. New
York never would have taken her up
II she hadn't advertised as the wicked

ther act, sing nor dance. However,
she's become the rage, so had to in
clude her in my series OF articles. Now,
Miss Knight has made a legitimate
success as far as she has gone"
He turned to the girl herself who
was smiling at him as she had smiled
since his entrance. He did not wonder
at the prominence her beauty had
brought her, for even at this close
range her makeup could not disguise
her loveliness. The lily had been
painted, to be sure, but the sacrilege
was not too noticeable; the lips were
glaringly red now, but the expression
was none the less sweet and friendly
"There's nothing legitimate about
musical shows" she told him, in reply
to his last remark, "and l can't act oil
sing or dance as we'll as Miss Demo

"YOu don't need to; just let the pub

Mrs. Knight answered for her daugh
ter. "Lorelei has too much sense fol
that. She succeeded easily, but she
isn't spoiled"
Then, In response to a question by
Pope, Lorelei told him something oi
her experience. "We're upstate people

for types, and l seemed to suit, so
got an engagement at once. The news

he produced this show he had the part
