CHAPTER I.

Peter Knight flung himself into the

table and growled:

His son James smiled crookedly,
with a languid tolerance bcspeaking

lips into pucker and stared specula-

criuged. "she could be starred easy,
and she will be, too, in another sea-

Pope resented Mrs. knights share In
the conversation. He did not like the

would have reveled In the names--and
especially in the sentlments-inscribed

dressed to Lorelei Knight. others to
Lilas 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

Pope shrugged. "Your daughter Is

clude her in my series OF articles. Now
Miss Knight has made legitimate
success as far as she has gone"
He turned to the girl herself, wht
was smiling at him as she had smiled
since his entrance. He did not wonder
at the prominence her beauty hat
brought her, for even at this clos,
range her makeup could not disguls,
her loyeliness. The lily had beef
painted, to be sure, but the sacrileg,
was not too noticeable; the lips wer,
glaringly red now. but the expression

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

Mrs. Knight answered for her daugf

isn't spoiled"
Then, in response to question b

"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 Mabeps," 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 a
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-
monize with their drab surroundings.

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 fiowered in her. As muddy waters
purify themselves In running. so had
the Knight blood, ecoming through un'
pleasant. channels, finally clarified and
sweetened itself in this girl.
In the doorway she hesitated an IN
stant favoring the group with her
shadowy, impersonal smile. In her
gaze there was a faint inquiry. for II
was plain that she had interrupted q
serious discussion. She came forward
and rested hand upon her fathers
