rN ancient Bagdad the fakirs per-
formed amazing feats before
the eyes of the admiring throng.
One made silver coins appear and
disappear by mere wave of the
hand. Another sold charms to ward
off plaques and pestilences. To the
Arabian maiden he offered beauty
and husband.
That was the fakir Of the color
full days of old. Today's magician
doles out neither charms nor hus-
bands. His bait is the promise that
he can make pounds disappear by
some magic method and with virtu-
ally a pass of the hand change
comely plump ladies of middle life
into wandlike misses of sixteen.
It is against this modern Ali

has enlisted on the side Of the med

couldn't think of having you leave

afternoon"
"But don't wish to impose on you,
Mr. Dalton" she said, almost coldly;
because, frankly, Verna was just a
bit disappointe,.. Other men had
spoiled her for a man like Dalton.
Where they had fallen head over
heels in love with her at first sight,
he, after knowing her for over a
month, had not given her the Slight
est indication that he was at all

lfor the first time in her life, and he
was treating her as if she was just
another woman. Wasn't he human?
Was he perfectly blind to her
charms? For the first time since the
day when she had discovered her
beauty in the cracked looking glass
picked up on trash heap, she de-
cided to consciously make an effort to
win man.
Gone was all thoughts of ambition.
of conquering, of attaining success on
her own initiative. For the first
time in her life she was a primitive
woman stalking her prey, intent on
getting her man.
OF course Wendell Dalton was OBJ
livious to all of these thoughts rae
ing around in the pretty head of
Verna Nash. Or If he was able to
read her mind he showed no indica-
ton of 1t. The butler prepared very
nice collation. and they dined while
the radio played gay music from one
of the big hotels. All during the meal
she caught herself time and again
almost staring at him, watching the
graceful way he used his hands, the
firm set Of his chin. the cultured
tone of his voice. Finally, when they
had finished their dessert. she de-

he fall as the Others had? she asked
herself.
Aloud she told him: "I'll be all
ready when you get down here, Mr..
Dalton"
How strange it seemed to call him
Mr.. Dalton when she was aching in
every nerve to call him Wendell,
softly and soothingly!
An hour and half later, the long,
blue roadster swept up Edgecombe
Avenue and stopped in front of a
ritzy apartment house on what is
known in Harlem as sugar Hill"
The uniformed footman rushed to
help her from the car. She surveyed
the place with respect and admira-
ton. He must have money to live
in a place like this, she unused to
herself.
Her surprise was increased, how
ever, when they stepped off the au-
tomato elevator on the sixth floor
and entered his palatial four-room
apartment with its modernistic fur
niture, brilliant hangings and golden
baby grand piano. The latter, he in
formed her, had been present from
Lady Mondcrieff, very handsome
British widow at whose country place
he had once spent a weekend or two
while in England.
Verna Awed
Verna thought with smile of the
home of the Richlands in Norrisburg,
where she had worked as maid only
a little over year and half be-
fore. She had at that time never
thought that Negroes anywhere
owned things so beautiful and yet
here was a home that far surpassed
anything the Richlands had ever
dreamed of having.
Wendell helped her off with her
wraps, brought a cooling drink and
apologised for the fact that his butler
was off for the afternoon. Butler!
Verna echoed to herself. She had
not dreamed that Wendell Dalton
was so successful. She suddenly had
new respect for this tall, black
man that had triumphed over in
superable obstacles and risen to the
heights in his profession.
"Now, Miss Nash," he began, seat
ing himself at the piano and begin
ming to sort over neat pile OF music,
there are several pieces here that
I think are well adapted for you. Sup
pose we run over them, see what you
like and what is appropriate, make a
selection and pretty soon I think we
can be getting down to work. I'm
sure you'll find a whole lot of things
here to your liking
Then he began playing over several
pieces while Verna tried out her
voice on them. Six o'clock came be-
fore either of them noticed it. Verna
looked at the clock and started TO
rise to go.

CHAPTER NINE

Verna sighed with relief when her
lessons at Professor Komffort's studio
were completed. 1t was not that she
did not like the atmosphere there. On
the contrary, the contacts she had
made with some of the leading people
in the musical world were, she felt
sure, quite valuable and would stand
her in good stead when she started
on her career in earnest.
1t was because of the attentions of
the professor himself that she was
glad to get away from the place. And
even before she finished her last two
weeks she had to go out to dinner
with the funny little old fellow twice
at the International Restaurant.
Now that she was free of that
burden and had received certificate
showing that she had been under
the instruction of the learned mas
ter, she breathed more easily and was
jubilant. The only cloud on the
horizon of her happiness now we !
the Count Ferdinand de Raalbonne.
His attentions were persistent and
hardly day passed that he did not
send her flowers and call her on the
telephone. She always got rid OF him
as quickly and as politely as one can
get rid of ones benefactor.
Wendell Dalton, Mystery
In the meantime she had been out
in the company of Wendell Dalton
on several occasions and he was to
her as much of mystery as ever.
She just couldn't understand the
man. He took her motoring, took
her to visit many of his Negro friends
in their palatial apartments on
sugar Hill" or in the Dunbar Apart
ments, took her to luncheon and din
ner at the first class eating places
of Harlem, took her to SmallS, the
Nest, and a dozen of the smaller
places, but he never seemed to notice
her beauty and never made single
proposal of any sort. She was be-
ginning to look upon him with the
eye of suspicion, and yet he was one
of the mJst manly men she had ever
met or heard of.
She had just come back from
luncheon with Count de Raalbonne at
a cute Italian restaurant in the VII
lage one day, when the telephone
rang. 1t was Wendell on the wire.
I'm coming down after you, ne
said in his quiet, forceful way. you
know what you promised about prac-
ticing for that recital? Well, I think
we'd better be starting. What do
you Say?"
Verna was thrilled. She was thrilled
at the prospect of rehearsals for her
recital; thrilled that the great Ven
de- Dalton was to be her accom-
PIANIST; thrilled that the two would
be alone in the privacy of his studio
hour after hour, day after day. She
smiled couquettishly to herself. Would
