beIievably picturesque. it was
hard to believe that it was part
of the same world as that chintz-
hung room that looked out over
the frozen park.
Constance wondered sometimes,
when they all met at the leisurely
meals served by the soft-voiced
Mexican servants, that they could
possibly find anything to talk
about except that tossing figure
in the darkened room upstairs,
Yet they did talk-quietly, and
often amusingly. And if Derek
and Constance exchanged only
the barest civilities, no one SEEM
ed to notice-unless it was Mark
Rogers, who occasionally ate a
meal with the family. Constance
had a feeling that little that hap
pened escaped his quietly amused
eyes.
Throughout the first few days
George ThOrvald had continued to
waken, crying out terrified for
Camilla Wynn-moaning that he
had killed her. But each time a
few words from Constance -
sometimes her bare presence -
served to quiet him. After that
first day the Identification of her
with the actress seemed so firmly
fixed in the boys fevered mind
that there was no longer any
necessity for artificial disguise.
Constance slipped in and out of
the sick room at the call Of both
the nurses; but it was Miss Will
cox with whom she chatted oc-
casionally.
Il understand the Wynnc wo-
man has been definitely scared
off" she said to Constance one
day. II shouldn't have been sur
priSed if she'd made trouble when
she found out George had given
her the gate. But since Mr.. Thor
valid had a talk with her she seems
to have decided that the kind Of
advertising she might sth' up
wouldn't be so good for little Ca
milla. Part of her publicity
value has been that she was some
thing pretty special in the way Of
sirens. 1t wouldn't help lot with
the fans to have it get about that
she had a stand-in good enough
TO fool the current bOy-friend."
DR.. Rogers Constance saw on
ly occasionally. That he was IN
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1938-03-31

that night at Daimler's. She had
thought he would be amused now
But he only said with weary
shrug:
Don't waste time practicine
on me. You're letter-perfect al
ready" ....
Feeling snubbed and hurt out
of all proportion, she followed
him to George Thorvald's room
But she could never entirely dis,
like him when she saw him with
the sick boy; he was so skillful,
so sure of himself-so genuinely
tender.
When the magic Of her mimic,
ny had done it's work, and she was
moving down the corridor toward
her own room, she hesitated. She
was wide-awake now. Perhaps
she had better go to the library
and pick up something to read in
case sleep failed to return to her
at once.
Just inside the library door,
she halted abruptly, startled to
find that she was not alone.
Huddled in the corner Of the
couch, Mark Rogers was fast
asleep-his cheek resting on one
arm, his feet still on the floor, as
if he had sat down, intending on
ly to rest there for a moment,
and then had dropped off in ut
ter exhaustion. Constance was
shocked when she saw how utter
~ weary he looked - shocked,
and unaccountably touched, as
women often are by the helpless
ness of men in sleep.
Perhaps it was because in his
WEAKNESS he seemed younger and
a little wistful-as if, Constance
thought, he might have dropped
off wondering whether there
might not be more to life some
times than telling people what to
do, and being caustic about it
when they didn't do it.
A light but chill wind had sift-
ed down from the mountains that
evening. AS Constance watched,
the sleeping man stirred uncom-
fortably, and shivered a little.
Taking a Mexican blanket from
the end of the couch, she oflded
it about him. Without opening his
eyes, he Struggled under the COM
Portable warmth, shifted to a
more comfortable position, and
said with a drowsy half smile,
Thanks, Hilda. You're a brick"
Constance smiled a little bleak
ly. So Hilda Thorvald had per-
formed this service for him, too,
often enough so that he took it
for granted that this was she. -.
The thought caused a faint flut-
ter of annoyance which Con-
stance, unreasonably enough,
could not forget.
