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 Mabel's," 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 unmodl-
| fed LONELINESS Of her parents and
brother her comeliness was almost
startling. The others seemed to har-

she gave no sign of her mothers coldly

girl differed from her brother, for Jim
was anemic, underdeveloped, sallow;
his only mark of distinction being his

was full-blooded, healthy and clean.

In the doorway she hesitated an in
slant, favoring the group with her
shadowy. impersonal smile. In her
gaze there was faint inquiry, for 1t
was plain that she had interrupted a
serious discussion. She came forward
and rested a hand upon her fathers
thinly haired bullet head. Peter
reached up and took 1t in his own
moist palm.

he said.
"Yes?" The smile remained as the
girls touch fingered.

and his weak, upturned face was
wrinkled with apprehension. "She

were still parted as she turned toward
her mother in some bewilderment.

dow opening from the lavatory at the
rear. Along the sides ran mirrors, be-
meath which was fixed a wide makeup
shelf. One section of the wall was de-
voted to telegraph and cable forms,
bearing messages of felicitation at the
opening of "The Revue of 1913" A
zoologist would have found the display
embarrassing; but society reporter
would have reveled in the names-and
especially in the sentiments-inscribed
upon the yellow sheets. Some were ad-
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
Demorest."
Pope shrugged. "Your daughter is
altogether different to the star of the
Palace Garden, Mrs. Knight. Demo

if she hadn't advertised as the wicked

Their act, sing nor dance. However,
she's become the rage, so had to in
clude her in my series of articles. Now,
Miss knight has made a legitimate
success as far as she has gone"
He turned to the girl herself, who
was smiling at him as she had smiled
since his entrance. He did not wonder
at the prominence her beauty had
brought her, for even at this close
range her makeup could not disguise
her loneliness. The lily had been
painted, to be sure, but the sacrilege
was not too noticeable; the lips were
glaringly red now, but the expression
was none the less sweet and friendly.
There's nothing legitimate about
musical shows" she told him, in reply
to his last remark, "and can't act or
sing or dance as well as Miss Demo-
rest"
you don't need to; just let the pub
lie rest its eyes on you and it will be
satlsfied-anyhow, it should be. OF
course everybody fiatters you. Has
success turned your head"
Mrs. Knight answered for her daugh-
ter. "Lorelei has too much sense for
that. She succeeded easily, but she
isn't spoiled"
Then, in response to a question by
Pope, Lorelei told him something of
her experience. "We're upstate people,
you know. Mr.. Bergman was looking
for types, and l seemed to suit, so
got an engagement at once. The news

he produced this show he had the part

mother said, chidingly.

put in.
Again the mother answered. ''In-
deed she is, and she's bound to sue

experience to speak of, but there's

Press agents for the large baking

on the job Monday without increase
in pay by spreading story that the
government will take over and Oper-

trouble is settled. If this were true,
of course a strike would be futile.

in the tense days that preceded the
declaration OF war; OF blowing up
every piece of American government
property he could reach. So when the
war broke out, he was promptly clap
ped into jail.
The other arrest is a more serious
matter. Conrad Andre, former German
consul at the important southern city
of Cebu, for months has been the CEN
ter of rumors that connected him with
q plot to stir up malcontents among
the Filipinos to open revolt. These
reports accused him of having kept
lists of men who had figured in insur

sign a document pledging his support
to this revolt.
Every German in the Philippine is
lands has been compelled to register

stabulary in the provinces. Men in
the government service, of German
birth, have been compelled to prove
