"Ill try to hurry and try to get
ready before you go, she said, shak-
ing hands all round with charming
grace; but if I don't see you again,
it's been just wonderful to meet you
all, and | do hope this isn't goodby

The bank lights Kissed out and the
camera stilled its suffering.
Mice little scene" said Mr.. Culp,
intercepting Lucinda as she left the
set. Coin to screen pretty. I'm
bankin' on Jack here"
He dropped an affectionate, fat
hand on the shoulder Of the camera
man. Excuse me, Mrs. bruce, want
to introduce you to Mr.. Jack Timilty,

sheepishly and proffered a diffident
hand. mo temp-ament, no funny

averred. 81 wouldn't say about the
others, but you and that other little
blonde lady"
Mrs. Lontaine."
"Her and you registered like a
million dollars"
Nevertheless the little fillup ad-
ministered to her self-esteem made
Lucinda feel more cptented; it deep
ened her interest in the business in
hand.
On the point of leaving, Culp put
in hasty appearance and insisted
on escorting Lucinda to the door.

volunteered: Jack says your tests

At first glance, the huge main
room of the Palais Royal seemed
less frequented by clients than by
walters; but the influx of the form
er was constant, and when a gang
of incurable melomaniacs crashed,
blared and whanged into a jazz
fox trot, the oval dance, floor was
quickly hidden by swaying couples.
For some mi.41tes Lucinda sat
looking out over without seeing
these herded dancers, only aware of
the shifting swirl of color and the
hypnotic influence Of savage music,
her thoughts far from this decadent
adaptation of jungle orgies which
she had come to witness And
presently a smile began to flicker in
the depths of her eyes.
"Oh" she said, rodsing when
Daubeney uttered a note of inter
rogation-'I was thinking about
this afternoon, remembering King
Laughlin moping and mawing in his
magnificent delusion that he was
conducting an orchestra"
"You don't know about the hand
some offer Mr.. Culp made me, with
his wife's approval, just as we were
going away" she continued.
Dobbin frowned What kind of
an offer?"
"To become movie actress under
the Culp banner, a sister-in-art to
Alma Daley"
do you mean Culp actually had
the impertinence-"
ooh, comet" Lucinda's amusement
subsidized "Mr. Culp was most kind,
at least he meant to be. He said he,
his wife and his eameraman-whose
opinion he values more highly than
any director's-all agreed | had
shown a great deal of promise; and
that, If cared to try it on, he'd be
glad to give me good part in Miss
Daley's next picture, and if made
good that he'd form a company to
star me-"
What rOtW
VERY well, Do1bin. Let's say no
more about it,"
The constraint that fell between
them like a curtain of muffling
folds, was presently emphasized by
an abrupt suspension of the music.
When Daubeney could endure it no
longer, he broke it with a question,
the most impolitic conceivable: you
didn't tell me what answer you gave
Culp, Cinda?"
Didn't l? But I'm sure it doesn't
matter"
But his manifest penitence earned
him no more than show of restora-
ton to favor. The heart in Lucinda's
bosom felt hot and hard and heavy
with chagrin, she had banked so con-
fidently on Dobbin's sympathy

Descending the several steps from
the box level to the common, they
threaded their way through jam of
tables to the fringe of the dance-mad
mob, in whose closely-packed, rock
ing and surging rout considerable
imagination and ingenuity were re-
quired to find room.
All about them couples were prac-
ticing every conceivable variety of
step tht acould be executed to the
rhythm beaten out by tireless drums
whose timbre had all the grim and
weirdly stimulating monotony of
African tom-toms. Many contented
themselves with a solemn, well-nigh
ritualistic jigging by means of which
they traversed the floor crab-wise,
inch by inch. Others charged short
distances at headlong speed, check
ed short, whirled madly, darted and
swooped again with incredible
agility, in sort Of corybantic fren-
zy. Still others favored tedious
twirling, like amorous dervishes. Yet
there were strangely few COLI

We stop when we get round to our
box?"
Without warning Lucinda was
struck by wildly careering body
with such force that she lost footing
altogether and must have fallen but
for Dobbin.
simultaneously the floor shook
with the impact of two heavy falls.
And clinging to Dobbin, little
dazed, Lucinda saw a strikingly
pretty young woman, stunningly
underdressed, sprawling at her feet,
and at yards distance a man in
similar plight.

Washington. Aug. 10.-From the be-
ginning of the Ohio primary campaign
political Washington has been far
more interested in the result OF the
November election in that State than
in the matter OF the nominations.
1t had been taken for granted for
weeks that Senator Pomerene would
be nominated TO succeed himself by
the Democrats. and when Walter
Brown and Representative Theodore
+. Burton declined to enter the fight
for the Republican Senatorial nomi-
nation few people doubted that Repre-
sentative Simeon d. Fees would win.
Messrs. Fess and Pomerene will face
each other In the general election in
n contest of national Importance. II
the Democratic candidate should tri-
umph in the Presidents own State
overturning the unprecedented ma
jority which It gave to the Repubh-
can ticket in 1920. 1t is certain that
the admirers OF Mr.. Pomerene Will
begin grooming him for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination In
1924.

cOATESVLLE CASHIER
BLAMES HIS BROTHER
Raymond NswIin Admitted
Having Taken $23o,ooo OF
the Banks Money.

Phila., Aug. 10.--The governments
case against George II. Newlin,
brother OF Raymond c. Newfin, former
cashier OF the Coatesville National
Bank, who Is charged with embex-
cling about $3.50. 900 from the hank. was
revealed for the first time yesterday,
in testimony presented before Fed
eral Judge Dickinson by Joseph A.
Geneau, n government bank examiner.
George, who was arrested In New
York on Juno 2s. u being held In
Moyame nsing person on charges OF
beuefiting by hls brothers alleged
peculations.
The testimony was developed In a
habeas corpus hearing requested OF
Nathan NJ. Griffith, counsel for George
Newlin. Grtffith maintained that his
client was unable to obtain the $10.-
900 bail ordered by Judge Dickinson,
and that II the governments case
was not as strong as It was supposed
to be the bail should be reduced.
Geneeu testified that he found Ray
mond Newlin's bank account to be
1927 900 short. and that this shortage
covered the period from January J.
1919 to May IS, 1922. An analysis, he
eaid, showed that currency to the ex-
tent OF $4,000 had been credited to
the account OF George Newlin on the
bank books but Georges pass book
did not show that any deposits had
been made.
MANY checks" he said, had been
drawn by George, most Of them in
favor OF the Algonquin Hotel, New
York for sums ranging from $25 to
$500, until only SASS balance of the
account remained. The check on which
the warrant OF arrest was based was
for $500. to the order Of william I.
White. who Is connected with - local
brokerage concern"
BY examining the records OF the
poetoffice in Coatesville, Geneau said
he found that Raymond had sent nu-
merous registered letters containing
money TO George In New York.
On cross-examlnation he said hi.
Testimony was based largely on infor-
nation given him by Raymond in the
West Chester county jail and In O
subsequent confession. He said hC
learned from Rsymond's own state.
