CHAPTER XII.

been his most likable trait had been
lost In habitual peevishness.

her pity at the sight OF the invalld's
pasty face and fiabby form, then
turned to the window. Her emotion
prevented her from observing the relief
that greeted her words.
The moment was painful; Lorelel's
eyes were dim, and she hardly saw the
dreary prospect of fire escapes, OF
whitewashed brick, of bare, gaping
back yards overhung with clotheslines,
like nerves exposed in the process OF
dissection.
"Yes. things will 20 on Just the

Two hours later a dray called for
her trunks and took them across town.

she entered: the elevator man stared

She ended with an abruptness that
evidenced her agitation. Rising, she
jerked a beaded chain that depended
from the center lamp and the room
was flooded with mellow light; then
she drew out the table drawer at her

then carefully transferred the liquid
into the cap OF a pearl-and- gold foun-

the receptacle into first one, then the

made known the exclusive charact
OF the house In such pointed manner
as TO offend her.
Lilas was out, she learned, which
probably meant that she was still
asleep. Lorelei ascended to her new
home In low spirits. Now that she
saw the place In strong daylight, she
was vaguely disappointed. She was
very lonely, very frlendless, and very
much discouraged. Then she noticed
the telephone and sprang toward 1t.
Adoree was ut home; her voice an
swered cheerlly, ana her Interruptions
of amazement and delight caused Lore
lei's message TO spin itself out unduly.
Without waiting for an invitation
Adoree cried:

and I'll be there in ten minutes. i.

Side by side the girls worked; they

its life clean and orderly. and the two
occupants dressed and went out to a
nearby hotel for dinner Returning,
they put the final touches to their task.
When Adoree left. late that night,
she kissed her friend, saying:
THANK you for the loveliest Sunday
ever had. 1t was splendid, and I'll
come again tomorrow"
The theatrical profession is full of
women whose lives are hawless; hence
II had not been difficult for Lorelei to
build up reputation that insured re-
spect, although her connection with a
Bergman show made the task more diff
ficult than II would otherwise have
been. During the two years OF J.
stage experience no scandal had

attentions upon her. but so long as she
had been recognized as the Lady Un-

advances. Now, however.

Lorelel had never heard her room

such strain. But Lilas seemed quite
unconscious of her little burst of elo-
quence. She was seated. leaning for

her knees; her eyes were brilliant in
the gathering dusk. Her memories
