as she saw her reflection in the over
head mirror. Pink had returned to
her softly rounded cheeks. Her rus
set hair lay damply and becomingly
in little tendrils round her temples,
and in loose curls round her pretty
face.
Was this dream? AS she stared
upwards, her own face seemed to
fade and in it's place was the hand
some face of her "rescuer."
"In spite of what Bubbles says,
there are nice men in the world! I've
been lucky enough to run into one, "
said Lucinda to herself, blissfully.
It was almost ten minutes later that
she got out of the tub, and dried her
self with a monogrammed bath-towel
that was as big as sheet.
Heavy, pale blue pajamas hung
over a glass rail. She put them on
luxuriating in the rich feel of the silk.
In the white enamel cabinet she
found fragrant talcum powder. She
rubbed some on her face, to remove
the shininess. There was a clean
brush there. After she had dried her
hair, she brushed it thoroughly. The
russell curls leaped out about her pref
tily-shaped head as though they had
been filled with electricity.
81 don't look so badly, after all,
said Lucinda to herself, very softly,
King Cophetua and the Beggar
Maid? She smiled, and her smile
made her perfectly lovely as she added
"Who knows what this wonderful
meeting may lead to-"
"Now tell me all about yourself"
said Carter Chalaire in his charm
ing, well-bred voice as he piled a
couple of logs on his sitting-room
fire.
Lucinda was curled up on white
bearskin rug directly in front of it.
AS the flames cracked up, flinging
a yellow light over her in the fasci-
mating blue pajamas that were COM
ically too big for her, she looked like
one of those lovely maidens you see
on the advertising billboards.
Carter told her so. He was young
man who missed nothing.
"I'm in the advertising business
but Pm no poSter!" she laughed mer-
rily. Eight hours a day Pm posed
on hard chair, madly turning out
advertising copy-most of it pretty
feeble, I'm afraid"
Beauty and brains! That's inter-
esting." He went over to a small
table which held an array of bottles.
Someone had apparently set it out
for him. you'll have Scotch high
ball, won't you?"
Lucinda hesitated. Her hot bath
and the warmth of the fire had re-
moved her chill. But when he added,
with twinkle: purely for medicinal
purposes, my dear child" she gave in.
He poured her a stiff one. She
was amused, on looking closer, to
see that the heavy silver tray con-
tanned a small tin of bicarbonate of
soda, and a bottle Of bromo-seltzer.
His glance followed her. Jenkins
is bright lad. He thinks of every

fitted him so beautifully that it al
most seemed as if he had been poured
into them. She noticed the shiny
CLEAN of his tall silk hat, the silk
scarf about his neck, the watch chain
of platinum on his white vest.
She said, with a little breathless
laugh, as she sank into the deeply-up-
holstered seat beside him: "King Co.
phetua and the Beggar Maid!"
They were in his private sitting
room in the left wing of the big house,
and the young man was poking up the
embers of fire the butler had left
for him.
"Now warm yourself for minute
while I draw you hot BATH" The
young man disappeared. Lucinda,
curled up on the hearth, put her hands
out to the blaze, and gazed about the
charming room.
It was panelled in wood. There
were gay French prints upon the walls.
Beautiful pastels of ladies in the nude.
Lucinda wondered for vague NOM
ent, if she had been wrong and reck-
less in coming here at all?
But it was so cozy. So warm and
so luxurious. And he was so very
handsome. What else could she have
Done, in the absurd circumstances?
She ought to feel extremely CRATE
ful-and she did. Lucky that they
had been able to get in without awak-
ing his father and mother!
"They must be very rich," she
thought wistfully. For the first time
since their meeting, she felt wildly
conscious of her bizarre costume Of
gunny-sacking. =.
cinderella and the Prince!" But
it wasn't midnight. The French clock
on his mantlepiece struck exactly four
chimes!
81 ought to run home in my rags,
with the rats after mel" said Lucinda
with happy little shudder when the
good-looking young man returned.
you'll do nothing of the sort.
You'll pop straight into the first room
on the left and into the hot tub"
He was masterful and positive, like
that.
Lucinda had never seen such beau
tiful bathroom. 1t was very large,
and queerly enough, the entire ceiling
was mirror.
The walls were shiny black, and
the lights and fixtures a bright
orange.
But the exciting feature of the
place was the big sunken tub. You
had to go down two steps to get into
it. 1t was of black marble.
The water smelled divinely. Some
thing like pines, or jasmin-or mix
'ture of both.
Yes, he had spilled some bathsalts
on the edge. That accounted for it.
Lucinda flung off the dripping old
sack, with it's holes she had made for
arms and her head. She felt as
though she were stepping into a new,
exciting world as she slithered down,
down into the scented water.
Heat-thrice blessed heat-envelop-
ed her. She lay luxuriously there,
the aches and chills melting from her
slender body.
"And don't look so terrible, after
all. :" she WHISPERED to herself happily.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1935-10-04
Jenkins apparently was the

butler.
Slipping her drink in this lovely
mellow room with it's leaping fire
light, an added warmth crept through
Lucinda's veins. Was this dream?
Or was it what she had queerly mag
ined might happen at the end of the
longest day of the year?
AS though, he had read her thoughts
young Chalaire said, suddenly: "You
must keep those pajamas. You rath-
er adorn them, you know"
She said: "You must think me
frightfully unconventional, barging
into your house like this at the crack
Ct dawn without even knowing you'll"
He grinned. He had regular white
teeth in deeply tanned face.
"In this year Of 1888, you mean
to tell me that lovely girl who is
clever enough to earn her own living
is worried by conventions? What's
Your Name, I'm surprised at you!"
"My names Lucinda"
Sounds old-fashioned. 'Cindy in
her sackcloth. But wouldn't you
much rather have purple and fine lin
en-"
81 feel grand as I am. I feel as
though could tear down mountains"
He grinned again, engagingly.
"What about the devil taking you up
high hill and offering you the whole
earth?"
"That's out Of the Bible"
"Then it gains all the more force.
At this moment do feel bit devil
ish."
She laughed back at him. "What
are you doing? Tempting me?"
81 wish you could. You'd look Won
derful in purple and fine linen. But
as you've broken bread, or salt, or
whatever it is, under my house, l
ought to feel Sir Galahad-ish."
"That rather fits the bill. He was
handsome knight, wasn't he?-who
rescued damsels in distress"
"Well, I think he passed up lots OF
chances. Lucinda, you look terribly
kissable at this moment. D'you think
you could learn to like me?"
Her heart thudded. He came over
to the bearskin rug, and sat down
beside her, his glass with the Scotch
highball in it in his hand.
She saw then how extremely good
looking this boy was. He had a
straight nose, and fine forehead and
chin, with a forceful jaw-line.
But there was dissipation round his
eyes. They were unusually fine and
deep-set and dark.
Could she learn to like him? Some
thing seemed to turn over in her heart
at the words.
But she answered lightly: "That's
tall order. For all you know, I
may be engaged, or even married and
done for!"
