with First National & PREM ey praia 8 at aal Pictures, Inc, and. Frank CHAPTER XIII. (Continued) The girl took no offense; she maintained her curious observation of him; she appeared genuinely in- terefted in acquainting herself with a man who could master such a phe- nomenal quantity of liquor. There was mystification in her tone when saw you come in alone. And now you're drinking alone.” “Is that a reproach? I beg your pardon.” Pierce swept her a mock- ing bow. “What will you have?” Without removing her chin from its resting-place, the stranger shook her head shortly, so he downed his beverage as before. The git! watched him interestedly as-he paid for it. “That’s more money than I've seen in a month,” said she. “I wouldn't be so free and easy with it, if I were you.” “No? Why not?” She merely shrugged, and con- tinued to study him with that same i intentness — she re- Pierce noticed now that she was a very pretty girl, and quite appro- priately dressed, under the circum- stances, She wore a boy’s suit, with a short skirt over her knickerbock- © since she was slim, the gar- ments added to her appearance of immaturity. Her face was oval in outline, and it was of a perfectly uniform olive tint; her eyes were large and black and velvety, their lashes were long, their lids were faintly smudged with a shadowy under-coloring that magnified their size and intensified their brilliance. Her hair was almost black, never- theless it was of fine texture; a few unruly strands had escaped from:be- neath her fur cap and they clouded her brow and temples. At first sight she appeared to be foreign, and of that smoky type commonly associated with the Russian idea of beauty, but she was not foreign, not Russian; nor were her features pre- dominantly racial. “What’s your name?” she asked, suddenly. “What's your name?” she asked, suddenly. _ Pierce told her. “And yours?” he “Laure what om 7 “Just Laure—for the present.” “Humph! You're one of this— theatrical company, I presume.” He indicated the singers across the room. f “Yes. Morris Best hired us to work in his place at‘Dawson.” “I remember your outfit at Sheep Camp. Best was nearly crazy—" | “He's crazier row than ever. Laure smiled for the first time and her face lit up with mischief. “Poor Morris!’ We lead him around by his big nose. He's deathly afraid he'll lose us, and we know it, so we make his life. miserable.” | She /turned serious abruptly, and with a candor quite startling said, “I like , “Indeed!” Pierce was nonplussed. The girl nodded. “You looked good to me when you cane: in. Are you going to Dawson? i : “Of course. Everybody's going to Paper have partners?” “I suppose you hav is “Nore Picree’s face darkened. “]'m alone—very much atone.” He undertook to speak in a hollow, hopeless Gan “Big outfit?” “None at all, But I have enough money for my needs and—l' Ly prob- ably hook up with somebody.” Now there was a brave'but cheerless res- ignation in his words, Laure pondered for a moment; even more carefully than before she studied her companion. That the result satisfied her she made plain by saying: . ; Maat orris wants mem. I can get him to hire you. Would you want. up with us?” * : fe eas Oe know. It doesn’t much matter, Will you have something to drink now?” Bi o Why should 1? They don’t, give any percentage here. Wait! Tl see Morris and tell you what he says.’ Leaving Pierce, the speaker huried to a harassed little man of Hebraic countenance who was engaged in the difficult task of chaperoning this unruly aggregation of talent. To him she said: “I’ve found a man for you, Morris.” “Man?” “To go to Dawson with us. That tall, good-looking fellow at the bar.” Mr. Best was bewildered. “What ails you?” he ‘queried. “I don’t ‘want any men, and you know it.” “You want this fellow, and you're him.” t going to hire }s0n.~ “Am I? What makes you think sa?” “Betause it's—him or me,” Laure said, calmly. Mr. Best was both surprised and. angered .at this cool announcement. “You mean, I s’pose, that you'll quit,” he satd, beligerently. “I mean that very thing. The man has repney—” Best's anger disappeared as if by magic; his tone became apologetic. “Oh! Why didn’t you say so? If he'll pay enough, and if you want him, why, of course—” Laure interrupted with an unex- pected dash of temper. “He isn’t going to pay iz anything; you're going to pav him—top w: yt Understand?” pinion The unhappy recipient of this ulti- matum raised his hands in a gesture of despair, “Himmel! There's no understanding you girls! There's no getting on with you, either. What's on your mind, eh? Are you after him or his coi?” _ “I—don't_know.” ing at Phillips with a peculiar ex- pression, “I'sh’ not sure. Maybe i'm after both. Will you be good and hire him, or—” “Oh, you've got me!” Best de- clared, with frank resentment, “If you want him, I s’pose I'll have to get him for you, but”—he muttered an oath under his. breath—“you'll ruin me. Oy! Oy! I'll be glad when you're all in Dawson and at work.” Aiter some further talk the man- ager approached Phillips and made himseli known, “Laure tells me you want to jom our troupe,” he began. “TM see that he pays you well,” the girl urged. “Come on.” Phillips’ thoughts were not quite clear, but, even so, the situation struck him as lesquely amusing. ‘I'm no song-and-dance man,” he said, with a vt ea would you expect me to @ man- dolin?” Z “I don’t ‘know exactly,” Best re- plied. “Maybe you could hetp me ride herd on these Bernhardts.” He ran a hand through his thin black liir,.thinner now by half than when he left the States. “Ii you could do that, why—you could save my aea- Laure was gaz- “rie wants you to be a Simon egree,” Laure explained, The manager seconded this state- ment by a nod of his head. “Sure! Crack the whip over ’em, -Keep ’em in line. Don’t let ’em get married. I thought I was wise to hire good- lookers, but—I Was crazy. ‘hey smile and they make eyes and the ien fight for ‘em. They steal ’em away. I’ve had a dozen battles and every time I've been licked. Already four of my girls are gone. If I lose four more I can’t open; I'll be ruined. Oy! Such a country! Every day a new love-affair; every day more trouble—" Laure threw back her dark head and laughed in mischievous delight. “It's alfact,” she'told Pierce. “The best Best gets is the worst of it. He's not our manager, he's our slave; we ‘have lots of fun with him,” Stepping eloser to the young man, she slipped her arm within his and, looking up into his face, ‘said, in a low. voice: “I knew I could fix it, for Ialways have my way. ‘Wilt you go?” When he hesitated she repeated: “Will you go with me or —shall I go with you?” Phillips statted. His brain was fogged.and he ‘bad difficulty in fo- cusing his gaze upon the eager, up- turned: face of the: girl; nevertheless, he appreciated the significance .of this <aydacious inquiry and_ there came to him the memory of his re- cent conversation: with the Countess Courtean, | ““Why-do you say that?”| a he queried, after a moment, “Why do yeu want-me to go?” Laure’s eyes ‘searched his; there was an odd light in them, and a peculiar intensity which he dimly felt ‘but scarcely understood. “I don’t know,” she confessed. She was no longer smiling, and, al- though her. gaze remained hypnotic- ally axed upon ‘his, she seemed to be searching her own soul. “I don’t know,” ‘she -said ‘again, “but -you have a—call.” si Tn ‘spite of ‘the young woman's charms, and .they were numerous enough, Phillips was not strongly drawn to:her; resentment, anger, his rankling sense of injury, all these left no room for other emotions. That she was interested in “him he still had sense enough to perceive; her amazii Proposal, her unmis- takable air of proprictorship,:- showed that much, -and ‘in consequence a sort of mialicioys triumph arose! within him. “Here, right at hand, was an-agency of forgetfulness, more potent by far than the ohe to which he had first tufned, “Danger- ous?

The fellow held the girl for an instant and helped her to regain her equilibrium, exclaiming, with laugh: “Say! What's the matter with you, sister? where you're going?” When Rou- letta. made no response the man continued in an even friendlier tone, “Well, I can see; my eyesight’s good, and it tells me you're about the best-looking dame I’ve run into tonight.” Still laughing, he bent his head as if to catch the girl's answer, | “Eh? I don’t get you. Who d'you say you're looking for?” *Poleon was frankly puzzled. He resented this man’s tone of easy fa- miliarity and, about to interfere, he ‘was restrained by Rouletta’s appar- ent indifference. What ailed girl? It was too dark to moke out her face, but her voice, oddly changed and unnatural, gave him cause for wonderment. Could it be —'Poleon's was answered ‘by the str cried, in mock reproach: Naughty! You've had a little too much, that’s what's the matter with you, Why, you need a guardeen.” ‘Taking Rouletta by the shoulders, the speaker turned her about so that the dim half-light ‘that filtered through the canvas wall of the tent saloon shone full upon her face. ’Poleon saw. now that the girl was indeed not herself; there nwa a childish, vacuous expression upon her face; she appeared to be dazed and to comprehend little of what the man was saying. This was Proved by her blank acceptance of his next insinuating words: “Say, it’s lucky I stumbled on to you. I Been up all aiaht and so have you. pose we get better acquainted. What?” . : i 1 Ronletta offered np ohjcction ic this proposal; the fellow slipped an atm about’ her and led her away, meanwhile pouring a contidential murmur into her ear. They had proceeded but a few steps when ‘Poleon Doret strode out of the gloom and laid a heavy hand upen the man. i 1 he “My _ fried’, demanded. brusquely, “were you takin’ dis The fellow wheeled sharp- hats the idea? What is she “She ain't not’in’,to me. But I seen you plenty tarhs an’—yow ain't no good.” Rouletta spoke intelligibly for the firs: time: “I've.no place to go—no Place'to slecp.
