girl, with a sensation of pity.

CHAPTER EIGHT

OI1AI lEh C1OHl
The news that Tod Patrick had
made the required deposit of $50
pesos with the Mexican border de-
partment made Mallory want to
scream her rage. The buttinsky
double-crosser!" she was thinking.
But she could not voice that rage,
or even let it be shown on her
face. Too many persons wer e
watching her, their faces rapt with
admiration for Mallory Baker, the
famous singer.
She contradicted, But I'm not
going to Mexico to make appear.
ances. I'm going for a rest" A
melting smile belied the fact that
she was considering boiling Tod
Patrick in oil. I'm very tired.
I've had a strenuous fall season
and 1 have to be back soon after
the New Year to prepare for an
equally strenuous spring season. -
The Mexican smiled also and
spoke again. You must be MIS-
taken, Miss Baker. Mr.. Patrick
wired the dates of your concerts
at the Palace of Fine Arts right
along with your deposit money
A second time he consulted the
paper in his hand. "There!" he
exclaimed, holding the yellow slip
before her amazed eyes. "Decem-
Der the twenty-first, the twenty.
eighth and January the third"
Weakly she replied, Something
is wrong" She repeated her
words. This time her voice was
out of control, wild and angry
Something is wrong"
The mans alarmed face forced
her to regain her calm. She must
pretend to be the victim of some
trivial misarrangement. All the
same, she felt helpless. Miles and
miles separated her from Tod Pat.
rick, yet he still was pulling
strings. So what could she do?
She had to be agreeable to gel
past the customs agent. Too, they
were fans whom sne must not dis
illusion. Their recognition and &C
claim were too flatteringly child
like to disillusion. Different from
that awful Richard Blythe's.
All right! She would go on, but
that old adage about leading q
horse to water could be worked
toward Tod Patrick. When she got
to the city she would show him
who was singing and who wasn't
He could sing himself, a plaintive
little tune of disappointment, be-
cause that would be the way he'o
feel. The traiterous 10 per center.
She started to say something,
but the Mexican holding the tele-
gram was speaking. "You surely
don't think we'd let the great Nal.
lory Baker be in Mexico without
singing?"
