BY this time we had reached the
house.
Lucille crested No downstairs in the
living room.
Miss Duumore II waiting for you
l looked around to see whom she
was addressing.
II mean you, Mr.. Blainey."
"Who is Miss Dunmorer'
The lady whose life you saved. Do
you mean to say that you didn't rec
ognize her with those-things ont"
II don't know what you mean."
That's right" said Bopp. mo mat,
ter what you say we'll all of US agree
that It's true. We men must stick to-
gether. Monty never saw the lady be-

This was especially despicable on
the part of Bopp, rs he knew as well
a. did that the telegram had been for
the other Blaney whom Clair bad spo-
ken Of.
"How about this, thenT inquired
Lucille sweetly, handing me damp
newspaper clipping. "She had that In
her hand all the time"
looked at Il IN amazement. 1t was
my own criticism Of production OF
GAS You Like It." which had been
staged the week before. One para
graph was marked with blue pencil
and read as follows:
Ths fashionable audience which assem-
blsd to see Miss Lansland ~ Rosalind was
obviously disappointed when the manage
ment announced that Miss Iangland was
indisposed and that her understudy would
play the part. Before the first act was
over, however. the discriminating ones in
front knew that they had been present at
the birth Of a new star. The manage
ment need never again offer excuses for
presenting Miss vids Dunmore as Rosa
lind. The public haA never dreamed that
Rosalind cou6 b alphabetically perfect as
Miss Dunmore made US sec her. Shake
spears could never have written the part
had he seen Miss Dunmores figure. He
would have known that Rosalind In tights
could not for an instant deceive Orlando
as to her sex.
It u impossible to say more than that
tho part and the boots have never been
moro perfectly hlled. Aiss Dunmore comes
from Z famous theatrical family. and mel
Their her Cousin Ethel nor her Uncle Jack
nesd fear that the family laursls viii fade
in Miss Dunmors's possession. Her voice
has the soft note Of the thrush which
seams too sweet to be heard by an en-
tire audience.
1 had Written IN a burst Of enthusi-
asm over a perfect bit of artistry.
Taken away from the context Of the
review, however. the paragraph did
sound q trife eulogisic.
Hadn't you better 60 up and see
herr" urged Lucille. "She IL conscious
now, and she seemed SO pleased when
I told her you were here. I didn't tell
her that you were the one who rescued
her. I thought she would prefer to
hear that from your own lips"
II / had known as much then as l
do now about girl psychology I could
have read jealousy into every word Lu-
Gle spoke, and 1t would have comfort
ed me 4 lot. Az It was, l let her drive
me upstairs and into the room occu-
pied BY Miss Dunmore.
I entered alone. Dressed in one of
Lucile's negligees she was propped up
in bed. My dramatic criticism was
right. She was pretty. There was .
veil Of charm about her such as one
expects to find around . convent bred
girl who knows nothing Of the world.
Did you wish to see me" I asked.
'You are Mr.. Green?" she hesitated.
"No7 I have seen no one except the
lady, and I didn't understand whether
she said Miss or Mrs."
Her voice lost none Of its quality
through not being heard over the foot
lights. 1t vibrated like the &C" string
ON Z violin. -5
Miss Green 1t is" I informed her.
"she said you wanted to see me. I'm
MI. Blainey."
