CHAPTER TX.
A Meeting With Dane.

- NAOOUAAAS OdAACs
He wanted to hurt her MORALLY.
And he did. She read the note, her
eyes fixed, sobs frozen in her throat.
He had sent for her letter as she
longed and prayed that he would.
So he must have still cared? Must
have been eager and curious?
But instead of coming with the
tenderness warm and living again
in his look; instead of saying as she,
dreamed: mora Lee-all that love
can't be gone? You want me now?"
Instead of this fancied scene, he
had gone back through their young,
glowing years, gathered up all their
treasures and flung them with a
finished irony in her race.
Why had he taken this brutal
way to end it? If he didn't want
her or her love, need he have hurled
it SO viciously from his heart?
Her hands stacking the letters
shook uncontrollably. She put
them behind her, gripping the
rungs of the chair. Then she be-
gan to tip-toe about the room,
whispering to herself. But she re-
turned almost Immediately to the
desk and reread in labored slow
ness his note. She had a curious,
panied feeling as though someone
with a nail were picking at her
heart, peeling its membranes layer
by layer, leaving it raw, inflamed,
slowly bleeding.
Reason Sought.
What was there in that last i'm
petuous letter of zlers to incite him
to rage and sarcasm? To make
him suddenly wish to root her so
completely from his every thought?
She tried to recall its tenor. The
last sentence came None but you,
Dane, has ever dwelt in my heart
none ever cam"
Hadn't he liked that? She fum-
bled through the pile of pictures
and letters. She came on this one
with its lnIch scrubbed envelope.
The many pages were wrinkled as
though he had doubled them in his
fist and later smoothed them out.
She pictured him with dark, storm
ing eyes holding the pale, laven-
der paper, reading the living
phrases: Dane, you have every
thing in the wide earth that
want. You only have It. care
potbinp for all the wealth Of the
world. 1 want only you-only
your eyes to look at me. want
vo,,r Inns. All other things are
hateful.
A New Resolution.
He had read that and 1t had
maddened him. Why?
She ran her palm over the
mussed pages. And slowly heat
mounted-became oppressive and
sitting, stealing the breath from
her lungs. She saw herself with
Dane Herrick's eyes. She cared
nothing for all the wealth Of the
world! Wanted only him-his eyes,
his lips-all other things were
hateful! He read that and read
ing it knew that she had pledged
herself to another; knew she was
going to take those hateful
things"
She now became excited-nush-
ed and wild. He didn't know
she had broken with Richard
didn't guess that was all piece
of madness-that she had plunged
into it recklessly only believing
him lost.
She said aloud: I'm go and tell
him." She took all the letters,
bound them securely, pulled them
to the edge Of the desk. She would
give them to him!

Pansy Williams and her Blues"
singing are quite the best thingc OF
"Hsppin Round" this weeks attrac-
ton at the Capitol. Close to her in
honor is Leon Devoe in the Scottish
number in the first act.
1t is in this number that the re-

ing on the part Of the chorus is
brought out They do a formation
dance that last for quite few min
utes without a single slip or pause.
For d chorus that has to learn a
whole new show every two or three
weeks I should think this a feat to
be complimented on. There is also
some good comedy present and as a
whole the show is entertaining.

be hit because it has real melody

Getting a Line on Some Corking
One Act Plays for Club ShOzCi7ag
By WALTER D. HICKMAN

By WALTER D. HICKMAN
n Y job today Is to aid those
IIVIl who are attempting to get a
Ill line on some good one-act
plays for presentation by amateurs
and for reading before clubs.
My mail has been heavy for the
past weeks from the younger people
of the city who are interested in
their own dramatic and reading
clubs.
So many requests have been re-
ceived that I decided to get in
touch with Samuel French, play
publisher, $3.50 w. Thirty Eighth
St.. New York, and get line on
some one-act plays.
French in the past has been most
considerate in helping those who
are interested in plays. AS far as
know this publisher has one OF the
largest collection of plays in cap
tivity and I might also say it is
the best, as far as know.
Am going to list few Of the one
