In the shadow of some tall palms near the door. he took both her hands in his, for a mo- ment. “You’re my girl now. aren't you?” he asked. and there was a deep note of tenderness in his voice. May beamed up at him. without a word. To herself she was thinking: "Yes, and you’re mine! .. . . You and your bank account!” Aloud she said. “Hal-by.

She had decorated it with dozens and dozens ‘of white roses. and had ordered dinner for five to be served in the large fitting- room that faced the sea. “I may just as well ask Jackiberu- ,lcy, too," she had said to herself. after she had invited Dan‘sndCsr» lctta. "It won't do Hex-by the least bit of harm to see that another man's crazy about me. . . ." The boy had accepted eagerly. "Just you and I?" he had salted. And May had not answered, but had only laughed as she hung the receiver back upon its book. ' “He's due to get the iolt of his life when howl‘lnds out that this mil Ax hour lath-Jay mo moved . l in ‘honor of my engagement to Hex-by." she remarked cheerfully to herself. powdering her face with a. lavish hand, before the mirror of her new bedroom. ‘ She began to brush her hair. ap- preciating its blackness against the pearl of her skin. with the eye of an artist. Then she met her own eyes in the mirror. and laughed aloud. "You smart thing!" she addressed herself. “To pick up a million-dollar husband. Just Ike thati" And she snapped her fingers. Presently she sat down before the glass to manicure the almond-shaped nails of her long. slender hands. She spr _ it her lingers and looked at the . On the third finger of the left hand the black pearl gleamed dully. "That's where I ought to be wear- ing Herby's engagement ring!" she thought suddenly. "Oh. dear. why didn't I make him buy me one today when we were out on the Boardwalk? . . ., We must have passed two or t O . in: I}? l mu LNHP‘MQI But then. in a. week at the very latest. she would have not only an engagement ring. but a. wedding ring. tool . . . And after that. she could spend all the money she wsntsd for rings! . . . Herby's money! "I'll make him give me a good. in clothes allowance,” she decided dreamily. "And we'll go to Egypt for our honeymoon . . .”. The sharp ringing of the telephone brought her back from these thoughts of wedded bliss and the land of the Nile. "Mr. Sprsgue ceiling," said the telephone girl, and May asked her to send him up. She met Dan. standing in the cen- ter of the great rose-scented living- room. and held out both her hands in welcome. ' "How hscinsting he is in his ugly way!" she was thinking. as she smiled at him with slightly-parted lint. "Good Lord, how rich she must be . . . to live like thisl" Bprague was thinking. as he looked down at her. lie had not glanced at the room ap- parently. but his sharp eyes had in- siantly registered the size and He raised his brows and his eyes questioned he} as he held a stock certificate before her. . “ \ i!” splehdor of it . . . and of the bed- rocm beyond. He knew that a suite of this sort was not to be had for a. song at a Boardwalk hotel in At- lantic City. “Dear lady. I come to talklbusiness with you." he said. laughing in an exasperated sort of ww. “And how can I talk business to you when you look the way you dc? i want to kiss you . . ." "Oh, so on wlth you!" May said. the corners of her lips tilting up. “If you wanted to kiss me. you would!" Then. as He. came toward her. she put a. little gilt chair between them. ."No. no . . Sprague laughed genlolly. “All right, if you won’t let me make love to you. perhaps you‘ll lot is make money for you." he said. i lug the gilt chair from her. "Come down- stairs and while we have some ten 1 will explain to you." May agreed and together wont to the dining room. lie cleared his throat and began. "Perhaps Waterbury's told you about my oil well out in California." he said. ‘They’ve sunk the shaft, and the superintendent tells me it's go- ing to make us all rich . . . Water- they who are in with me. on it. Want to come along?" He raised his brows, and his eyes questioned her as he held a stock certificate before her. . ‘3‘ "Ddo you mean you want me to put some of my money into it?" May asked. ."puy stock in it? Is that what you mean?" “You can make a colossal fortune if you do . . . that is, if you put a few thousands into it," Dan answered her. “There's an ocean of oil out there. under the old sand-hill where we're drilling." . May looked dreamily out of the window. She was a born gambler with a. gambler‘s love of taking a. chance. . . . "I think I'll come in on it with you. Dan." she said slowly. "But I'd like Pb think it over for a few days. Will that be all right?" bury and two or three other fellows ~ 1 a would have to wait to do it until Ulysses Ibrgsn should send her the money from the sale of the house. "Yes. I'll do it." she repeated. “And I‘ll see you tonight at.seven- thirty, won't l'r . ~. . Don't forget you're having dinner with me." Ills eyes werorsproaohful. "How could I forget?" he asked. "Don't you know that I look forward to every moment with you?"

She picked it up. and as she stood with it in her hands there came a sharp rapping on the door of the sitting-room. "That‘s probably the waiter with the table—" she thought. “Well. he'll Just have to wait a minute.” Unhurrledl'y she slipped the twi- light-colored dress over her head. and stood back from thl mirror. lost in admiration of herpelt. She turned hei" head from IMO to side. noting with keen Onloylnent the flashes which the electric light brought out from the sheen of her hair. and from the sliver of her gown. . , . "Oh. you are‘ lovely. tonightl" she said aloud to herself. leanipg closer to the mirror. and gazing at herself with dreamy eyes. “You deem-vs to have money—lots of it!"

And if she wanted to sell her beauty and ‘youth to a man who could give her marriage and millions, whose business was it but harsh—Love? That was for girls and boys in their teens! . . . Again the knocking sounded upon the outer door. .And May dashed a last admiring glance at- her brilliant reflection, before she went to open it. instead of the waiter. whom she expected to see. Jack Darnley stood? there. immaculate in his dinner jacket, and holding in his arms an enormous bunch of long'stemmcd red roses. lie stepped into the room, dropped the flowers down upon the nearest chair. and took May roughly ~into his arms. lie thrust her head back and ruined kisses upon her mouth-— hard, ferocious kisses that rocked with the smell of whiskey. May could feel his hot, tumultuous breath—and an inch from her eyes were his own—blood-shot and glassy. With a. great effort she pulled her- self away from him. "You dreadful child!" she cried. rubbing her bruised lips with the back of her hand. “How dare you touch me—?" . Young Darnlcy laughed. "How dare I touch you?" he repeated thickly, “How dare I touch you-— tlint's,good! I suppose you’ve for- gotten the other night on the Steel Pler—" He leaned forward and seized her again. "I always knew I was going to have a. crush on a widow. some‘ time or oiherl" he muttered, "And believe me. Xanthippe, I have ill—- ilct puppy, but l'm crazy about you!" May pushed him firmly away from her. "New. Jack. behave your- self!" she said sharply. “You‘ve been drinking!" "Set any more than usual. l’rn pleasantly Jingled most of the time. ’s a matter of fact." he said sulklly. May pushed him down into a chair. and picked up his roses.

He jumped up. and threw his ems around her once more. crushing the roses in her arms.

BCS’I‘ER KEA'X‘ON'S LATEST. NEW‘ YORK. Nov. 10.—-Busler Keaton's past performances conslt- lute a promise that each of his new pictures will contain an element of novelty. of freshness. a yeasty qual- ity of travesty. And “Go West" am- ply fulfills this tacit pledge to his audience. With lively imagination it rails satirically at the conventional situa- tions of "Western" movies, Keaton assuming the grotesque guise of a cowboy and becoming an unwitting hero in his tenderfoot desperatlo s.

But his sifrighted spirit is assuaged by the dog-like devotion of a placid Jersey cow, the only creature which has ever understood and sympa. thizsd with our sorry hero’s inner self. Buster saves her from the branding iron. and "Brown Eyes." bovine star of the piece. retaliates by preserving him from an angry steer. It is "The Drifter's" desperate ef~ font to keep "Brown Eyes" from the slaughter pens that serve indi— rectly to rate- him a hero in the eyes of his ranch boas (Howard Trues- dale) and the lstter's pretty daugh- l l l sun OVER PLAY; , .\'l-1\\’ YORK, New. :l.—»’i‘lm dram- rin lhlgl go on \illlllll (ll’lllll‘tih'. lllll- rlcu away from ”it? i'm‘ts beyond the l'ooilighis. on: always more inlcrcsl- _ ‘“"___‘ _ . lint: than llll: synthetic nut-eludes of 3E“ l Olik. 3‘0“ j”""l‘\r“' 3 life upon ihu hoards.
