him savagely, so that Lorelei was
often painfully embarrassed.

first time Lilas showed trace of feel
ing in her voice; she dropped her chin
into her palm and, leaning upon the
table, stared as If at a vision. Her
dark eyes were somber, her brows
were lowered and drawn together.
The slipshod informality of the meal,
the constant faultfinding of the host
ess, made it something of trial Lore
lei was not sorry when it was over
and Lilas took her to look at the va
cant fiat.
Miss Moore's apartment offered a
wide contrast to the one they had just
quilted, being very small and very
modestly furnished; but it was on the
second floor, convenient to both eleva-
tor and stairway, it boosted a piano,
and the superintendent allowed his
prospective tenant to name her own
terms. She descended with relief, feel
ing that she had made not bad bar
gain.
She stated, as she sank into LiIas'
big library chair. 81 feel quite indie

"This place is too grand for me-" Lo-
relief objected
"Oh, offer your own price for Ger
ties fiat if you like it. They're crazy
for tenants. It's cheaper than hotels
if you want to save money"
Lorelei was surprised to find her
friends quarters not only richly but
lavishly furnished. The decorations
were harmonious and bespoke reck-
less disregard of cost. A fluffy jap
anese spaniel with protruding eyes and
distorted visage capered deliriously at
it's mistress feet.
But the objects that intrigued the
visitor most strongly were several
paintings. They were of kind she
had seldom seen, and in the afternoon
light one stood out with particularly
startling effect. 1t was a dusky land
scape; there was stream, meadow
edge, trees just growing black against
a dying sunset, a herd Of cattle COM
ing out of the west. Before this pic
ture Lorelei paused, staring with wide
eyes of wonder.
Lilas flung her hat carelessly into a
chair, lit a cigarette from a Tiffany
| humidor, then turned with the spaniel
in her arms and, beholding her guest
with rapt, upturned face, remarked,
with laugh:
Looks like the real thing, doesn't it?"
"Oh-it's wonderful-so clean and
cool and quiet! I've seen cattle in Vale
that looked just like those, when I
went barefoot in the grass"
"Some Dutchman painted this

II had no idea you lived like this"
Lorelei peered through a pair of
French doors and into a perfectly ap-
pointed library, with a massive mahog-

ing lamp.

humming the chorus Of the senseless
popular song from which she had
quoted.
Everywhere was the same evidence
of good taste in decoration and luxury
of equipment, but suspicion had en-
tered Lorelei's mind, and she avoided
comment. Hitchy Koo was cook, but

THE AUCTION BLOCK
Continued From P:.ge 81

She was far too well balanced for
hasty resolutions. but her mind. once
made up. was seldom changed. 1t dis
tressed her grievously to leave her
people, but at the thought of remain
ing longer with them every instinct
rebelled. Her own kin, urged by
greed had not hesitated to cheaper
and degrade her; their last offense
coupled with all that had gone before,
was more than could be borne. Yet
she was less resentful than sad. for it
seemed to her that this was the be-
ginning of the end. First the father
had been crippled, then the moral fiber
of the whole family had disintegrated
until the mother had become harpy,
the brother scamp. and she, Lorelei,
a shameless hunter of men. Now the
home tie, that last bond of respect
ability, was to be broken.
Her first impulse was to take up her
abode with Adoree Demorest. but a
little thought showed the inadvisability
of that. In her doubt she appealed to
LIilas, broaching the subject as the two
girls were dressing after the perform
ance.
When Lorelei had made known her
decision, the other girl nodded her ap-
proval.
Il don't blame you a bit; girl needs
liberty. have five rooms, and a Jap
to take care of them; they're lovely"
~ can't afford an expensive place"
"Well. there are some three-room
fats in the rear, and-I have it! Ger
tie Moore kept one, but she's gone on
the road. It's all furnished, too. If
it hasn't been sublet you can get it at
your own terms. The building is re-
spectacle, too; it's as proper as the
Ritz. I'm dining alone tonight Come
to dinner with me and we'll find out
all about it."
Lorelei would have preferred a diff
ferent location, not particularly desir-
ing to be near Lilas; but there was no
time in which to look about and the
necessity that faced her made any
assistance welcome. Without more
discussions she agreed, and the two
girls rode uptown together.
The Elegancia, where Lilas lived,
was a painfully new, overelaborate
building, with a Gothic front and a
Gotham rear-half its windows pasted

Independence for America, finan-
cial and industrial as complete as the
political independence we now enjoy
is the dream of many scientists and
business men of the United States. In
accomplishing this result much will
depend on the skill OF our chemists
Present events have demonstrated
the important position of the chemist
in peace and war our industries are
now crippled for want of dyestuffs
because American chemists have not
had the individual aggressiyeness and
the governmental backing that the
Germans have had. We have, there
fore been dependent upon Germany
for vast number OF chemical pro-
ducts.
Big changes are certain to follow
the war. They will affect business as
well as boundary lines. How to meet
them, prepare for them, discount
them, If possible, is now engaging the
of all thoughtful men. One
