CHAPTER SIX

THE ride to Jackson Heights in
Il the subway was tiresome. Shela
had practiced all day, hardly stop
ping for lunch, her muscles becom-
ing more painful as the hours pro-
crossed.
She knew that a dancer already
known as a success never would
have consented to fill in this way
after weeks without practice.
OF course there were few dance
instructors like Brady. This Sheila
understood. Brady had been pa
tent and she had intelligence and
talent, but no one, not even Brady,
could turn out a really finished
number in so short a time.
Next week some time-Bill had
been rather vague about it-there
would be another lesson. Three
routines for $50 was his price and
Roscoe probably had not Overpaid
him for rushing Sheila through the
PAGES.
Her muscles did ache fearfully.
If she had had the money to spare,
Sheila would have taken a cab. She
did not have the money and her
little overnight bag. with makeup
and q book to read during waits,
stood at her feet in the subway car
where fare was only a nickel.
Maybe I should have gone to
Mr.. Lanes party after ALL Sheila
thought ruefuIly. "Seventy-flve
dollars is a lot of money. And he
said I could sing"
But she had not telephoned the
number Dick Stanley had left for
her. Neither had he called back to
remind her that the opportunity still
was open. He might have done
that. She hardly had expected it
yet was disappointed because he
didn't.

Why are so many persons killed by

good custom. If there should happen

greater number of these beautiful crea-

years or more ago.
The Virginia deer Is shy and keeps
out of the Imelight. Their silent, grace
full movements Of long, springy jumps
and low bounding ones get them over
the ground rapidly. When they trot or
gallop they throw out their legs in
their own; when frightened their gait is
very different.
Food is not a problem with them.
Their digestion is perfect and their
menu varied-lichens, deer moss, leaves,
lily pads, acorns, nuts. tree buds, berries
and tender bark Running water they
must have, and deer will risk his life

creature, with his branching antlers
and glossy coat of reddish brown in
the Summer and snowy-white under

underside, which can be seen on the
darkest night. When deer parents are

aloft and guides the fawns with un-

In February or March the bucks leave
the open spaces and their families. They

handy, they pull off the old horns.

A complex is nothing but temporary
