New York? They would like t.
talk over a series of stories SINH
lar to the prize winner.
The Professor and Jarvis had
both departed to their lairs OIL
they would have witnessed thu
best pas seul of Bambi's life. She
tluttered the joy-bringing letter
above her head, and circled the
breakfast room in whirl of hap
piness.
She waited until next day tc
explode her bomb.
Il think If you finish up the
play this week, Jarvis, we can
have 1t typed early next week, and
get off to New York on Friday OF
Saturday"
he stared at her.
ION foot?" he inquired.
"Oh, no. l find l have the
money
You find you have it! You had
that much and didn't know it,"
he exploded so loudly that the
Professor came to, and paid at
tention.
Il am careless about these
things" Bambi murmured.
whats all this?" queried the
professor.
She's got money enough. to
take us to New York." repeated
Jarvis.
Thank you. l don't wish to go
to that terrible place. OF all the
distressing, improbable places,
New York is the worst" replied
Professor Parkhurst.
BE calm, Professor. | was
not planning to take you" sooth-
ed his daughter.
but what Is to be done with
me?" he inquired, anxiously.
you are to be left the one sole
duty of Ardelia, to be overfed and
pampered until you aren't fit to
live with"
But you can't go off alone with
Jarvis"
why not? I'm married to
him."
Eyes, l suppose you are. but
you seem so unmarried" he OBJ
jected.
1--WE will have to practice up a
few married poses. Jarvis. You
must not act so interested in me.
Father says we don't act mar
ried."
II am not the least interested
in you," Jarvis defended himself,
valiantly.
There, father, could anything
be more husbandlike?
Jarvis made no protest at all,
until the night before they were
to start. He came to her and
offered her a little black note
book.
What Is this?"
81 want you to put down every
cent we spend. This is a loan,
you understand"
"It's a gift from the gods. Go
offer libations. / don't want your
old debit and credit book"
He laid his hand on her Shout
der, and looked into her shining
eyes.
Good little fairy" he said, 81
want to put some gold dust in the
pot, too"
"wait until we get to the end
OF the rainbow"
Just keep a record for me. My
mind is such a sieve" he said, Of
tering the spurned black book.
"All right. Give me the Black
Maria. l will ride your figures
In it,"
THAT was a pun. You ought to
be spanked"
"Oh, Jarvis, isn't 1t fun?" she
cried to linn.
The next day they set forth on
their journey. Bambi left lists all
over the house as reminders for
the Professor. Ardelia had orders
enough to maneuver an army. The
Professor went to the station with
them, and absent-mindedly kissed
Jarvis goodbye, which Infatuated
his victim and nearly sent Bambi
INTO Mysteries. AS the train pulled
out, she leaned from the window
and called, Go home, now, Pro-
fessor!" and with mechanical
jerk he turned and started off In
the direction indicated.
II never leave him with any
she admitted to Jarvis.
"He is so apt TO mislay himself"

Exactly. With Bambi off your

That night, after dinner, Bam-
hi arranged the electric reading
light in the screened porch, drew
big chair beside 1t, placed the
Professors favorite chaise-lounge
nearby, and got him into 1t.
What is the play supposed to
be about?" Professor Parkhurst
inquired.
1.-THE title is Success II is
about a woman who sold herself
for success, and paid with her
soul"
lis it a comedy?"
Good Lord, no! l don't try to
make people laugh. | make them
think.
Go ahead"
Don't interrupt again, father"
Jarvis began to read, nervously
at first, then with greater conf
dence. He read intelligently, but
without dramatic value. and Bam-
bi longed to seize the manuscript
and do it herself. Once, during
the first act, the Professor cleared
his throat.
Don't do that" said Jarvis,
without pausing for the Profess
sor's hasty apology.
The play told the story of a
woman whose God was Success.
She sacrificed everything to him.
First her mother and father were
offered up, that she might have a
career. Then her lover. She mar
ried a man she did not love, that
she might mount one step higher,
and finally she sacrificed her child
to her devouring ambition. When
she reached the goal she had WIS.,
toned from the first, she was no
longer a human being, with pow
ers of enjoyment, or suffering.
She was, instead, a monster, in
capable of approaching what she
had won, and in despair she kill
ed herself.
There were big scenes, some
bold, telling strokes, in Jarvis
handling of his theme. Again, it
was utterly lacking in drama. The
author stopped the action and
took to the pulpit.
AS he closed the manuscript
Bambi reached out her hand for
it.
"Give 1t to me, in my hand!"
she ordered. He obeyed, ques-
tioningly.
II feel as IL 1t was such a big
thing, mangled and bleeding. l
want to hold it and help it."
"Mangled?"
Eyes. Don't you feel It? She
isn't a woman, She's monster.
You don't believe her. You won't
believe her, because you hate
her,"
but she's true. She lives to-
day. She is the woman of now"
he repeated.
"No, no, no! Woman may ap-
proximate this, but she doesn't
reason 1t out. Let her be fine,
and big, and righteously ambi- |
tious. Make us sympathize with
her."
"But 1 am preaching against
her."
"All the better. Make her a
tragedy. Show the futility of it
all. She didn't kill herself. You
killed her."
"Do you write plays?" he asked
