CHAPTER Xxx.
AnticIimax.

It was out of the limbo of the un-
foreseeable that the blind instrument
of Fate appeared to tell Rodney about
Rose. He was country lawyer from
down-state, who had been in Chicago
three or four days, spending an hour
or two of every day In Rodney's office
in consultation with him, and, for the
rest Of the time, dangling about, more
or less at a loose end. A belated
sense of this struck Rodney at the end
Of their last consultation.
"Tm sorry haven't been able to do
MORE" Rodney said-"dO anything,
really, in the way of showing you a
good time. AS matter Of fact, I've
spent every evening this week here in
the Office"
ooh, I haven't lacked for entertain
ment," the man said. eve hayseeds
find the city pretty lively place. I
went to see a show just last night
called The Girl Upstairs sup
pose you've seen It,"
"No," said Rodney, III haven't"
"Well, 1t was downright funny.
haven't laughed so hard in year. If
you want a real good time, you go to
see it."
The last part Of this conversation
took place In the outer office. Rodney
saw the man off with final hand
shake, closed the door after him, and
strolled irresolutely back toward Miss
Beach's desk.
II was true, he'd been taking it on
rather recklessly during the past two
months. But they'd been pretty
sterile, those long. solitary evening
hours. He'd worked fitfully, grinding
away by brute strength for while,
and then, in frenzy of impotence,
thrusting the legal rubbish out Of the
way and letting the enigma of his
great failure usurp his mind and his
memories.
Telephone over to the University
club" he said suddenly to Miss Beach,
land see If you can get me seat for
The Girl Upstairs
The office boy was out on an errand
and in his absence the switchboard
was In Miss Beach's care. She arose
obediently and moved over to the
switchboard, then began fumbling
with the directory.
"Why, Miss Beach," said Rodney.
"You know the number of the Univer-
sity club!'
He was looking at her now with I'M
disguised curiosity. She was acting,
for perfectly infallible machine like
Miss Beach, almost queer. Without
looking around at him, she said: "Mr.
Aldrich. you won't like that show. If
you go, you'll be sorry"
While he was still staring at her,
young Craig came bursting bllthely
out of his office. "Oh, Miss Beach 7"
he said, and then stopped short. see
ing that something had happened.
Rodney tried an experiment.
"Craig," he said, miss Beach doesn't
want me to see The Girl Upstairs
She says won't like It. Do you agree
with herr
A flare Of red came into the boys
face, and his jaw dropped. Then. as
well as he could, he pulled himself
together. Eyes, sir" he said, swung
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1917-08-17

well enough what had happened. But
1t was all right. She was going on as
II nothing had happened.
The other man was Jimmy Wallace
himself. He released, too, little sigh
Of relief when he saw her off in her
stride again after that mOmentary
falter. But he hardly looked at the
stage after that; stared absently at
his program instead, and presently
availed himself of the dramatic crit
ic's license and left the theater.
AS for Rose herself. in her conscious
thoughts she didn't recognize the hope
already beating unanimously in her
veins, that he would tell Rodney-tnat
perhaps even before she got back to
her dismal little room, Rodney, pacing
his, would know.
1t was so irrational q hope-so I'M
expected and so well disguised-that
she mistoOk 1t for fear. But fear never
made ones heart glow like that.
That's where all her thoughts were
when John Galbraith halted her on
the way from the dressing room after
the performance was over.
II know you're tired" he said
brusquely. "But fancied you'd be
tireder in the morning, and I have to
leave for New York on the fast train.
So, you see, 1t was now or never"
Strangely enough, that got her. She
stared at him almost in CONSERVATION.
"DO you mean you are going away?"
she asked. Tomorrow"
"Of course" he said, rather sharply.
"I've nothing more to stay around here
for" He added, as she still seemed
not to have got it through her head :
my contract with Goldsmith and
Block ended tonight, with the opening
performance"
"Of course" she said in depreciation
Of her stupidity. "And yet it's always
seemed that the show was you; just
something that you made go. II
doesn't seem possible that it could
keep on going with you not there"
The sincerity Of that made 1t really
fine compliment-just the sort of com.
pliment he'd appreciate But-the old
perversity again-the very freedom
with which she said it spoiled it for
him.
81 may be missed" he said-it was
more Of growl, really-'but sha'n't
be regretted. There's always sort
Of 'Hallelujah chorus set up by the
company when they realize I'm gone
81 shall regret 1t very much" said
Rose. The words would have set his
blood on fire If she'd just faltered over
them. But she didn't. She was hope

felt you never could be an actress. You
see the thing the way do-the whole
fun of the game is getting the thing.
Once it's got d. :" He snapped his
fingers, and with an eager nod she

advantage as sort of personal as

work just of the sort you did with the
sextette. teaching people to talk and
move about like the sort of folk they're
supposed to represent. 1t would be
done more IL we could teach chorus
people to act human. Well, you can
do that better than !, that's the plain
truth. Under this new contract OF
mine that i expect to sign In a day Oh

And then. of course there's the cos

think you've talent for 1t.
"There you are! The job will be
paid from the first a great deal better
than what you've got here. And the
cOstuming end Of 1t, II you succeed
would run to real money. Well, how
about it,"
But" said Rose, a little GREATNESS

ooh. I sha'n't hp ready for you just
yet, anyway" he said. I'll write wher

weeks notice. They'll be annoyed, OF

she said. "les, I'll come. of course.
He gazed ut her in a sort of fas
cination. Her eyes were starry, hel
lips little parted, and she was
so still she seemed not even to bt
breathing. But the eyes weren't look
ing at him. Another vision filled them
The vision-oh, he was sure Of 1t now
of that "only one" whoever he was
that mattered."

said. "I'll have them get taxi ant
send you home"
She said she didn't want taxi. Ht
didn't demur to her wish to be put or

waited for it after an almost silen
walk, he did manage to shake hand:
and tell her she'd hear from him soon
But he kicked his way to the curl
after the car had carried her off. ant
marched to his hotel in sort o.
baffled fury. He didn't know exactly
just what 1t was he'd wanted. Blu
he did know, with perfectly abysma
conviction, that he was a fool!
