But Mem would IS soon have fol-
lowed a pack of gypsies or a circus
troupe out Of Calverly. 1t was only
when tbs To- people were gone
that she realized how much they
had filled the scene. how empty and
little h stage was, now that the
picture crowd abandoned It.
She found a place as maid in the
homo of a stojekeeper at such
wages as he could afford. She began
the sordid routine OF her tasks. but,
contrasting them with the glamour
of playing tragic roles. she felt her.
self entombed.
Then the summer heat began and
grew SO fierce that her employers

at him and struck at him with a
manly vlgor.
He controlled himself and groaned

CHAPTER XIII.
When the moving.picture caravan
left Palm Springs, Mem lost the
courage that had led her to refuse
to go with it.
Tom Hobby rather colby advised
her to take up the moving pictures
as a career. The director praised
her and promised not to forget her.
Leva Lemaire begged her to come
to Los Angeles where II would be
cool and profitable. and warned her
not TO risk her life in the desert.
Also she collected for Mem tho days

her work as an extra woman. This

The Indian girl dispeIled the nat.

when she was brought bark to con.
seriousness was a shrek of terror
that resumed her thoughts where
they had left off.
She was recognized and taken
home. The village doctor was fetch
ed, and he d!d all that his skill could
do to hasten the repairs that nature
began upon at once.
Though Mem had never dared TO
visit tho doctor. he knew of her.
and knew of her rs a widow. The
wedding ring on her finger fore
stalled even a thought OF the truth.
When she was strong enough to
DO talked to he prepared her for bad
news.
Am I to be crippled for lte?' she
cried.

ter In the loss OF 4 husband who. she
knew, had never lived and could not

his demise were written for the sake
of her husband. but she WINS never
meant for a dramatic author and
Mem could feel the artificlality of her
language. Blu her father was COM

Now that her acciGo had annullAd

science forbade her to 10 home again.
Now she felt an exile indeed, and
an utterable loneliness, without her

even the familiar scenes that might

yet a kind OF sn~obblshness even in

She crossed a strip OF sand a.
soft as deep.plled velvet. and came
to a path that slanted up a rounded
cliff lifting a granite wall right aloft
from the unripp.ed surface Of the
desert.
The exertion Of climbing was more
than Mem had barEaIned for. She
was weaker and weiEhtier than she
had thought. The sleeps hat looked

fought the everlasting tendency 10

return.
And now. as she stared at the
swift descent before her. she grew
more afraid of climbing down than
of climbing up. She hesitated. then
mounted a few steps with pain and
struggle.
She had not the strength to go on.

1t filled his honest soul with poison

courage to send her away. but the
sorrow in her eyes made it impossible
to dismiss her. Finally, being as
wise as he was good. he determined
TO fee from the temptation to tempt
and took shelter with his wife.
Mem had not watched him well
enough to note her influence upon
him. She went about in a daze, with
a heavier and heavier heart and
tread.
She spent much thought upon the
letter home that she had not yet
written. that she must write If ever
she were to go home again. The
whole purpose of this long, long
journey into loneliness was to be
