eyes. the billboards all about town
were announcing her. and in para
graph and advertisement she was cell
ebrated. But SO many Others were
also claiming the public eyel other
newcomers and favorites in impreg-
nslbie esteem.
People WHO had come from Calverly
were claiming Mem as a fellow-citizen
and feeling that they gained some
mystic authority from mere vicinage.
Some of them called upon her in per-
son or by telephone and set her
heart agog. She wanted to do them
and the town Justice.
Somehow she endured until the
night her own picture was shown.
and then stepped out before what
seemed to be the world in convention
assembled. She felt as tiny as she
looked to the farthest girl in the ui-
innate seat I'D under the back rafters.
She parroted the little speech that
Bermond's publicity man hac' writ
ten for her, and aftarward wondered
what she had said. There was n
cloudburst of handclapping and a
salvo from the orchestra that swept
her from the stage into the wings.
And that was that!
She did not know that one of the
towns wealthiest men was lolling in
a fauteuil DOWN front and that her
beauty and her terror smote him.

was like a bay along the Santa. Mon

spectator a Persian luxury. From

believes. I think it is a good thing
for children and grown-ups to know
by heart. But what stumps me is
the Inconsistency of the professional
soul savers who want the law to pre-
things that children are encouraged
to read. In Los Angeles I saw one

a pfous Boer was reading from The
Songs of Solomon, and. when they

bowels, but believed tina their irregu.

Mrs. Steddon yawned and said
that she was going to bed. 1t was
late. and Mem turned in. too.
In the meanwhile. in the great
rhythm of the world the Puritans
were on the upswing as so often be-
fore. They would gain the barren.
artless height OF their ideals. and
then the billow would break and
carry them snarling back to the

The world was apparently in for a
gray Sabbath and 1t would satisfy no
body any more than the last or the
next Saturnal.a. Censorship had al

most altogether out OF the realm of

CHAPTER Lv1u
The mex Mem knew was the shud.
der of the doorbell. The porter
called through the metal panel a
warning that Chicago was looping to-
ward them out of the east. and they
must make ready to leave the train.
They scurried to get up and pack
and out Then they went, with their
@E.1eNf %AOoo III lodLllE SlTttl<
to the Lake Shore station and got
breakfast there-this on the advice
and under the guidance of an az.
liable gentleman who met them and
said that he represented the Ber-
mond company's Chicago Exchange
and had been ordered by Mr.. Ber-
urond to take especial caro- of Miss
Steddon. Mem tried to look as II
she were USED to such distinction.
but shc failed joyousiy.
Half n day was all they had for
learning Chicago. 1t was even larg-
er n buster than Los Angeles!
Mem felt lost and ignored until she
saw n a dubious giimmer of I'M
lighted electric letters hung in front
of n big motion-picture theater the
name of her latest film. The thea.
ter would not open until eleven. but
her own pictures were scattered
about the lobby. And that was some
thing tremendous.
She and her mother drank deep of
this III OF fame. They took their
~luncheons s%cudding on the TWEEN

yet left Chicago when the train ste.
~nographer raped at the door ana
asked their names against the posi-

how her mother sat a little higher
with proud humility as she answered.:
Miss Remember Steddon and
mother!'
There were italics IN Mrs. Sted-
don's voice and exclamation points
in the s~tenographer's eyes. After a
moments hesitation, as his pencil
stumbled on the pad. he mumbled:
THAT name is very familiar in our
home. II your excuse me. The wife
says you are the biggest conner of
them all. and I must say I agree with
her. IL you don't mind"
Mem didn't MIND. She gave him
one Of her queenliest smiles. and
concealed her own agitation until he
closed the door on his. She was en-

a lit In its rush. The next morn.
ing found h Hudson alongside,
moving slowly under its plate mail OF
ice to New York.
Mrs. Steddon loyalty denounced
the river as far Inferior to her own
Mississippi, but Mem found the New
York stream better groomed, some.

cities. 1t led on to the metropolis

she was come to conquer. She won
dered IL h city would be nice to
her. She had heard that 1t had n
mind Of its own and that 1t never
knew who came or went. Yet the
Chicago courier had said that New
York was the hickest village in the
U. S. A.. Just a bundle of small
towns
Whatever 1t was. it was destiny.
Yet here again the long arms of Ber-
mond had provided her with a re.
caption committee most affable
gentleman from the New York of.
flee. and two photographers, one with
a motion camera. also two or three
young reporters WHOSE stories would
be published. But neither they
nor Mem knew this and she under
went the pleasant anguish of being
interviewed on the station platform.
Rooms had been reserved for her at.
the Gotham. and she went thither In

Her experience of the city had been
experienced by millions of visitors, to
whom the high buildings. the Metro.

things metropolitan We're the real
ization of old dreams.
She went to n theator or an opera
every night. and to n matinee every
afternoon when there was one. And
shc marveled that her fathers reli-
sion had SGT the curse Of denial upon
the whole cloud realm of the drama.
On Sundays the theaters were closed
except to sacred concerts but the
good people who were trying to close
the motion picture houses had not
yet succeeded.

a multitude thai their heads were

The architecture seemed perfection
to Mem-perfection with grandeur.
yet of an indefinable exquisiteness.
Everything was Roman or Etruscan
gold. There was n forest of columns
as tall as, the sequoias of California.
