CHAPTER ONE LndH HnunfIful

Why the devil do you stay in this deadly room Fay? You haven't been outside since the show struck the townw Morty Edwards spoke angrily to the leading woman of the Edwards Elite Stock company
 The afternoon sun lighted up mercilessly the horrors of the brldat suite of the American House in Wea- ver's Falls. Fay McMillian yawned herself fully awake
 Because, old dear. these hick towns bore mel" she retorted, as she drew her soiled wrapper closer around her and lighted cigarette Swell way you're keeping your pro York and Parisp
 She was pretty but dissipated looking brunette in her twenties Her face was hard. and her tempera- ment was known and feared far and wide. It had cost her many an opp portunity, and the only reason st.e still remained with Morty Edwards her present angel, was that when reused his disposition was even worse than hers.
 It showed itself now. Well, that don't go, seer Morty's jaw stuck out In a way Fay had learned to under stand. Hank Bedell, who runs the opera house here, Is as sore as prp. He says you haven't lived up to your reputation nor given the boys any thing to talk about to draw them to the theatre--like what you did driv- ing the fire engine in Cooksville or walking down Main street in Allen town with a rhinestone snake around your ankle. What do you want to do? D1av fn ernrafV hOuaeYr

 ''Well, of all the crazy janes Won't they see you at the theatre?'
 There was little silence. and then from Fay "The folks I know don't go to the theatre"
 "The hell they dontr sneered Nor ty And I suppose you've left psalm singing sweetheart behind you -or a huaband. Don't want to meet him. eh?''
 The effect of this was electric. With an exclamation which rivalied any of his own, she seized the heavy water jug full of ice and hurled 1t straight at his head. Fortunately her aim, as usual, was bad Morty escaped with thrill and, losing his temper in turn, he made known to her in no uncertain terms the press agent stunt he had planned and which they were to stage at the county orphan asylum.
 You're to put on your glad rags -- carry the lorgnette and the poodle and do the society act. And don't start telling me you're afraid to go therer
 And so 1t happened that within short time they dashed up to the orphanage in the big red car which was the show piece of Clayton's

 Fay raised her 1orgnette with a mingled air of condescension and haughtiness and descended on the matron with a billowing of taffeta ruffles and an overpowering frag- rance of lily of the valley. Morty. resplcndent In checked suit, white spats and a yellow cane, carried two bags of apples, while the village photographer followed with the cam era.

 But instead of the prince, most ferocious dragon came forth ara screamed I'm t-~you" Y the little girl acclaimed to her awe struck listeners.
 At this point the visitors entered and the strange child with shrlek of surprise fell off her stool.

 Mrs. Tucker conducted Fay and Morty to the platform. Now child ren," she announced in her best com pany manner, this Is Miss McMillan, the lady who is playing at the opera house tomorrow night. She has taken the trouble to drive all the way out here to see you and bring you some nice red apples. What do you say to that?'
 The children all kept their eyes on her and chorused exactly as i, they had been timed Thank you Ma'ami"
 Little Pauline now stood in front of Fay. Her dancing brown eyes had opened wide with admiration of the beautiful lady who was the first real actress she had ever seen.
 Fay's vanity was touched by the worship she read in the kiddy's eyes. She held out the largest and reddest apple in the bag, but Pauline hung back, her sensitive little race trse pale and then rosy red with timidlty at her own daring.
 'Please--could I have--a kiss--in- stead?" she stammered.
 Fay was hard, but not hard enough to resist that Something gripped her bv the throat and she tried unsuc- cessfully to turn it off by saying to Morty:
 'sNow, isn't that too sweet"
 Seeing that he was still resting his chin on his cane with an expres- sion of utter indifference, she turh- ed again to the child and bent over to meet the rosebud lips that were so trustful1y puekered to meet ners. And then, as she glanced into the eyes so dark they seemed almost Mack. into the beautiful little face framed by it's dark curls she had the strange sensation of seeing her own self. A call she could not re- sist--an electric shock of recogn,- tion went through her.
