CHAPTER TX.

Lorelei was not little mystlfied by
Merkle's cryptic message, for she
could imagine no possible way in
which she or the writer himself could
be connected discredltably with Jar
Wis Hammon's affair. She gained some
light, however, when that evening she
read the note to Lilas.
"why, they're going to blackmail
Merkle, too" Lllas exclaimed. "well,
they'd be foolish to let him off,
wouldn't they"
$50 they think he'll pay to keep his
name out of the papers?"
Exactly. And he wlll-for your
sake"
II won't let him."
Lilas was surprised. "Why2 He's
rich. He wouldn't miss few thou
sand"
You wouldn't allow Mr.. Harmon
to be robbed. would your
"Oh. wouldn't II. II he didn't care
enough for me to protect mo from
scandal I'd want to know IT,"
"Lilas, you puzzle me-" confessed
Lorelei. doubtfully. 'You say things
that make me think you don't care
for him at all; then again you seem
to be crazy about him. How do you
feel? How far would you go with
him?"
Lilas laughed airily. perhaps I'd
go farther with him than for him. He
asked me to marry him IL his wife
gets divorce; and agreed. Now that
he has come to the point. I'm sorry
things happened Just as they did. A
woman must look out for herself-no
man will ever help her. It's worth
some notorlety to become Mrs. Jarvis
Harmon"
Something In the speakers words
rang false; but just what that some
thing was, Lorelei could not decide.
"Then you'd like to see the story
made public?" she queried.
Naturally"
II dare say IL l loved u man I'd
want him at any price, but I--hope I'm
not going to be dragged into this mat
ter"
my dear, you have family; they
can make Merkle do the right thing
by you. He could be made to pay, at
least, and you'll be sorry II you don't
get something out OF him. Just wait
and see what~a difference the story
makes with your other men friends"
During the ensuing performance Lo-
relei pondered her friends disqueting
prophecy; yet she could see no reason
for grave apprehension. Publicity Of
the kind threatened would, of course.
be disagreeable; but how II could serl-
ously affect her was not apparent.
Later in the evening Robert Whar-
ton appeared, as usual, and so resent
full was he at the decept,ons previously
practiced upon him that Lorelei with
dificulty escaped Q scene. at last lie

either, and-I'm not sure you could
stand It."
As Lorelei walked homeward that
afternoon she felt an unaccustomed
warmth in her breast, and realized that
she. too, had been very lonely In the
city. The certainty that she had made
friend gladdened her heart. She
looked forward with thrill to the
morrow when she could see Adoree
again.
During her absence Jim had returned
and departed; but a note was waiting
for her. 1t had been brought by a mes
senger, and read:
Things look bad. I'm afraid Wen
be implicated. too. Better see your
brother quickly. NJ"

that circus wagon. It's all right for
me, but-you're one of the decent kind.
II you have a reputation It won't do
to parade II in n show case. Wen take
a taxi" Lorelei's relief must have
been obvious, for Adoree sped swiftly
to the corner, then was back again
without the dog. "If there's anything
more conspicuous than n blonde with
a white poodle" she explained, "its
two blondes with two poodles." Then
she flung herself into the cab and
slammed the door.
"You must think I'm very rude" her
guest ventured.
Nothing OF the sort know just
how you feel" Miss Democrats smile
was a trine strained. "Only-I'm aw-
fully lonesome, and--Tll take care that
nobody sees u.s."
"Now know I've been nasty" Lo-
relel felt her embarrassment growing,
for this woman differed entirely from
what she had expected. Underneath
the dancers extravagant thea tricalism
she appeared natural and unaffected.
Adoree changed the current of the
conversation by saying:
s"I hope those bloodhounds get to
fighting"
"How-funnyr Lorelei was eying
the speaker with undisguised curiosity
you're not Frenchwoman?"
"Agnes Smith is the name. Decent
by descent, but an actress by adver-
tlsing. What's your gamer
"Um-m-My nose is straight: l don't
limp; so I'm an actress by force of fea-
ture."
Both girls laughed unatfectedly.

That's lovely. And let's make the

"Oh, ! can't drink anything strong

wonder II I'm dreaming"
The girls hsd much in common; they
chattered continuously through the
short ride. and when they alighted
from the taxicab they disputed over
the right to pay for II. When the
guest was ushered into Adoree's apart
ment she received another surprise
for the place was neither elaborate mol
snowy. II consisted merely of two
large, comfortable rooms overlooking
n side street lined with monotonous
brownstone boarding houses.
A battered teakettle was set to boi
over an absurd alcohol stove that re
quired expert assistance to maintain
its equilibrium. Adoree flung out OF
her finery and donned Japanese robe

CLEVELAND MANAGER
 BELIEVES HE HAS FINE
 PITCHER FEN JIM BAGBY


 New Orleans, March 23-Manager Lee Foh1 of the Cleveland Indians is said to be much taken with Jim Bag by, his pitching recruit secured from the New Orleans Pels. Bagby has two strong recommendations He is not only able to do a vast amount of work in the box-he pitched 293 innings for New Orleans last year but he also is rated a whale with the batand because of his hitting took his place in the outfleId on a number of occasions.
 Indeed, it is said FohI seriously considers making an outf1eIder of him because of his swatting ability, in case the outer gardeners now in sight fail to live up to expectations. Bagby hit .27O with New Orleans last year in 5s games Bagby halls from Georgia, and broke into the professional game in 1910 with Augusta in the South At 1antic league.
 All his work has been done in the minors of the Eouth except for a. brief trial with the Cincinnati Reds in 1912. That the Reds did not keep him is not, in the minds of many of the experts, anything to be held against his record
