A Playful Millionaire.

Lorelei watched him curiously.
She saw a powerfully built gray
haired man. whose vigor age had
not impaired. In face he was
perhaps fifty years old, in body
he was much less. He was the
typical forceful New York man
of affairs, carefully groomed,
perhaps a little inclined to stout
ness.
By this time millionaires had
lost their novelty for the girl.
She had met some who were more
distinguished in appearance than
this man, but never one who
seemed possessed OF more ner-
vous energy and virility. Jarvis
Harmon had a bold, incisivs
manner that was compelling and
stamped him as a big man in
more ways than one. Playfully
he pinched Lilas' cheek, then

In a rural community by a schem-
ing mother, who sees in her good

knight, the father, has just lost

forms him that she has arranged

life to which Lorelei Knight be-
longed-that army Of men and
women from shows like Bergman's

tive community - a community,
moreover, that Is characteristic OF
New York alone. Its code Is OF its
own making: its habits Of life are
as individual as its figures OF
speech. Although at first all this
bewildered the country girl, at
length she had come to adopt the
new ways as matter OF course.
From the association she had
learned much. She had learned
how to reap the fruits Of popular
ity, how to take without giving.
how to profit without sacrifice,
and under her mothers influence
she was not allowed to forget
what she had learned.
With the support Of the family
entirely upon her shoulders. she
had been driven to many shifts in
order to stretch her salary to liv-
able proportions. Peter was a
total burden and Jim either re-
fused or was unable to contribute
toward the common fund. while
the mother devoted her time al
most solely to managing Lorelei's
affairs. Presents were showered

Lorelei took naturally to the
work, finding 1t more like play;
and. being quite free from girllsh
timidity, she felt no stage fright,
even upon her first appearance
Her recognition had followed
quickly-it was impossible to hide
such perfection of loveliness as
hers-and the publicity pleased her.
In due course rival managers be-
gan to make offers, which Mrs.
Knight. rising nobly to the first
test of her business ability, used
as levers to raise her daughters
salary and to pry out Of Bergman
a five-year contract. The role OF
the Fairy Princess was a result.
Thus 1t was that without con-
scious effort. without even a proof
OF merit beyond her appearance,
Lorelei had arrived at the point
where further advancement de-
pended upon study and hard work:
but, since these formed no part Of
the family program, she remained
idle while Mrs. Knight and Jim
arranged so many demands upon
her time that she had no leisure
for serious endeavors, even had
she desired it. Proficiency in
stage-craft of any sort comes only
at the expense of peonage, and
this girl was being groomed solely
for matrimony.

since Bergman's shows were IA
nous for their new faces. The
result was that he signed her
promptly, and mother and daugh-
ter had walked out Of his office
quite unconscious Of having ac-
compllshed the unusual.
At first the city had seemed
strange and bewildering, and
Lorelei had suffered pangs at the
memory Of Vale, for at her age the
roots Of association strike deep;
but in short time the novelty of
her new life proved an anodyne
and deadened acute regrets, while
the vague hazard Of 1t all kept her
at an agreeable pitch Of excite
ment.

Russia's Plan to Sovietize
Persia Has Failed

Baku, Azerbiajan, Feb. 13.-The
last of the Russian Communists have
arrived here from Persia, fleeing be-
fore the troops of Sha, under the
general direction of the Prime Minis
ter Ghavamos Saltane, who demand
ed that the terms of the Anglo Rus
sian treaty for both nations to let
Persia work out her own destiny be
observed. Rotstein, the Soviet am
bassador to Teheran, has been sent
home, among others.
The invasion of Persia was under
taken in 1920, the Russian Commun-
lists cooperating with three revolu-
tionary bandit chiefs of Persia-Eh-
sanella, Kutchik and Haidar.
The failure of the movement is at
tributed here to quarrels between the
three bandit chiefs.
Now that the effort Of Soviet Rus
sia to sovietize Persia has definitely
failed, the Russians are taking a
rather impartial if not cynical view
of the events there during the past
year. They maintain that the 60 or
