Clancy shrugged as she sur

Clancy, half an hour after the

Clancy did the thing that made

kissed the judge warmly in re-

standing a trifle behind the
judge, although Clancy hadn't

Infringing her hands with a

her face.

it worse, find that I can't trust

found the kiss returned.

about her when dinner ended and
then started for the opera. She
did not know that, before he went
upon the bench, Judge Walbrough
had been the cleverest cross-ex-
aminer at the bar, and that all
through dinner he had been verify
ing his first estimate of her char
acter. For the Walbroughs. as
she was later to learn, did not
''pick up" every lovely young fe-
male whom they CHANGED to meet
and admire. A happy couple, they
still were lonely at times-lonely
for the sound Of younger voices.
And the significant glance that
the Judge cast at his wife at the
end of the dinner went unnoticed
by Clancy. She did not know that
they had passed upon her and
found her worth while.
And with this friendly couple
she heard her first opera. It was
''Manon," and Farrar sang. From
the beginning to the tragic de-
nouement, Clancy was held en-
thraIled. She was different from
the average country girl who at
tends the opera. She was not at
all interested in the persons,
though they were personages, who
were in the boxes. She was inter-
ested in the singers, and in them
only. She had never heard great
music before, save from a phono-
graph. She made mental vow
that she would hear more again

guffaw.

Mrs. Walbrough tapped him with

Please stop annoying her. The
suggestion that she should spend
an hour alone with you must be
horrifying to any young lady.
Come"
The Judge gave an arm to each
of the ladies'. and they walked,
with much stateliness on the part
of the judge, to dining-room that
opened off the landing at the head
of the stars.
Clancy felt happier that she had
deemed it possible for her to be.
Perhaps it was even stupid. But
to be with two people who so evil
IDENTIFY liked her, and who so pa
tently adored each other, was to
partake of their happiness, no

There was the sound Of a

to Clancy persons with whom he
was acquainted. Ordinarily, Clancy
would have been thrilled at the
mere sight OF the demi-gods and
goddesses. Tonight, they left her
cold. Yet, out OF courtesy, she
professed interest.
And there's my little friend
Darcy" she heard the judge say.
She reused herself from abstrac-
ton, an abstraction in which she
was mentally reviewing the acting
and singing of the superb Farrar.
ttWho is he?" she asked. =
The judge smiled.

Pennsylvania. Now he dWelleth

For a second, her thoughts far
away, Clancy did not get the inn
plication. Then she replied.
But ! thought that the mnni-
tions miIlionaires made so much
that they found it hard to get rid
of it,
''This is a wonderful town. Miss.
Deane. It affords opportunity for
everyone ana everything. No man
ever made money so fast that New.
York couldn't take it away from
him. If the ordinary methods are.
not sufficient, some brilliant New
Yorker will invent something new.
And they're inventing them for
Darcy-and ten thousand other
Darcys, too"
Clancy stared at the squat little
millionaire a few seats away.
HE doesn't look very brilliant, "
she announced.
HE isn't, said the Judge.
But he's worth millions" pro-
tested Clancy.
'"That doesn't prove brilliance.
! 1t proves knack and tenacity,
that's ALL" said her host. Some
of the most brilliant men I know
are paupers; some Of the most;
stupid are millionaires.
"And vice versa?'' suggested
Clancy.
The judge shrugged.
''The brilliant millionaires are
wealthy despite their brilliance.
My child, money was never SO easy
TO make-or so easy to spend. And
those who make it are spending
it."
But isn't every one spending,
not only the millionaires?" de-
mand Clancy.
It's the fashion" said the
Judge. '.But fashions. change. I'm
not worried about America. +"
The curtain rose, cutting short
Walbrough's disquisition. But, for,
a moment, Clancy pondered on
what he had said. 1.-THE Land of

Apparently misunderstanding her, believing
she was not telling the truth, Grannis had then
left on the table the money and departed.
Clancy's adventures started the moment she
landed in New York from the country, an in
teligent and beautiful country girl, determined
to become famous film actress. She assumed
the name Of "Florine Ladue" and Immediately
became enmeshed in tragedy as a result of an
effort to land a, position with some moving pic
ture concern. She made two good friends David
Randall and Mrs. Carey. The Beiner death cut
short her theatrical ambitions, but she became
connected with, a real estate concern and because
of her business ability was rapidly achieving
success She had hoped that the past was buried
until Grannis confronted her and recognized her
as the girl at the Zenda party.
