CHAPTER XXXV


STANLEY QUENTIN'S camp in the
~ Adirondacks was the most beautiful
place Of its kind that l have ever seen.
1t was q long, low house Of logs, with
veranda that seemed to hang right over
the edge of n precipice. and from which
you got breath taking view OF
wonderful valley. The living room was
enormous, with great freplaces at either
end that first day, after our long sleigh

had left the train, / cried out with de-
light MS | came into that room, with

and its gay cushions and many books.

about many times.
And my own little room-how /
loved that. ! felt when / stepped into
it that / had found the corner Of the
world that was meant for me. There
was an open fire there. too, with low
bookcases built in at either side: evil

that one must always have books about.
There was great white bearskin rug
before the fire. and another one lay
by INV bed. where ] would step out on
IL in the morning when / got up.
Gay. rose strewn chintz covered the
white enameled bed, matching the
painted qarlands on the furniture; 1t
was hung at the windows, too, and
covered the cushions on the chaise
Tongue.
And from the little balcony outside
7 could look straight up at the won
derf,l, snowy mountains. THE hills
from whence cometh my salvation -
the words sang in my head as l slipped
out of my blue serge frock and into
one Of soft white wool; surely the mud
died condition Of my life would
straighten out in this quiet, lovely
place!
That evening at dinner a telegram
came for Malcolm Sandy. lie read 1t
eagerly, then read it again. And then
he tossed 1t down on the table, with n
happy, exultant laugh.
i've got her. he exclaimed Jubi-
lantly. ?'Phyllis FairchiId has signed
with me.
Now, Phyllis Fairchild was one of the
hest known and best loved actresses on
the American stage. Every one knows
her real name. and. no matter how
had the play in which she appears,
crowds throng to the theatres. She
Is very beautiful. and, in reality. very

doesn't know that. -.
I knew that several motion picture
producers Ind been trying to get her
to sign with them. but she had insisted
that she didn't care 70 go into the
movies. and nobody had been able to
pursuade her to change her mind. 1t
had been question Of money. OF
course: her box Office value would be
tremendous. but she was demanding a
huge salary and n big sum In advance.
And now Malcolm Sandy had done what
nobody else could do. and signed her.
The telegram lay there in the ruddy
glow from the rose shaded candles,
