Downey was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., and from his earliest infancy, he has been known as a singer with @ superb voice which in time devel- oped into a tenor often compared to Joun McCcrmack’s, He was for many years identified with Paul White- men’s famous musical organization as ccloist. He was in Europe for several years and on his return in October, | 1928, he was given his first {and singing role in “Syncopation.” ‘This was followed by his appearance in a stellar role in “Mother's Boy,” and in “Lucky in Love” he has the part of an Irish stable boy, whose | golden voice wins the love of Lady | Mary Cerdigan, an Irish beauty. | ‘The story written by Gene Markey, affords Mr. Downey numerous op- portunities for the display of his | Mimetic and vocal talent. There is | plenty of drama, comedy and fine melody.

CHAPTER XI EVEN Helen was touched by the piteous quaver with which Cunningham echoed Brent's words. It bespoke a yearning that had little in keeping with the character that had been attributed to her grandfather. The disparity confused her, And in a flash her confusion was deepened, for Mr. Cunni ham burst suddenly into a lau; that was like a slap in her face. W was mirthiess, sardonic, insult- ing. “I dare say, I dare eay,” he gasped at the end of it. Brent stood, frowning and still. Helen Pay the price,” Mr. Cunning! went on. “It would be nice for my granddaughter if I cared to see her. Nice for Nellin, too. Yi nicer perhaps for Nellin.” He shook his head and his cackle2 laughter ceased. “I think it would be nicer, as you put it,” Brent interjected sharply, “for you, Mr. Cunning- ham.” “Eh? Eh? For me? 80 you think I’ve some lingering affectiow for Evangeline left, do you? Why Pa He stopped abruptly ai looked Brent with rising Picion of him as jividual, “What have you to do with her?

The sneer changed fiercely to &@ snar). “What do you think I am, a doddering old fool?” he thrust at Brent. Brent shrugged. “I believe you would not care to listen to my opinion of you, Mr. Cunningham,” jurprised. ‘You see, I happened been a friend of Charles Nellin's,” Brent explained. did not know your eet yg Thave seen her photograph. not care to ex- press my opinion {a her daughter's presence of a man who would ill- treat he: “Il-treat her?” Mr. Cunning ham screeched. “Ill-treat her?” “Well,” Brent paseed it off with t Leaders’ Footsteps Turn Toward Williston for Week | Here before him stood @ git who might be his omn flesh end blood. ‘And yet he ofa mummy. A quiver ran across lps and down to the Dead! Evangeline was dead! They saw the remorseless truth of it eat into his soul. He bowed his silence, except for ths painful expulsion of his breath. Cyril Cunningham lifted his head. “Tell me about it,” he said weakly. “I'd suggest that you first sum: mon your valet or companion and let him give you something to steady you, sir,” Brent replied, concerned with tae effect of tl shock he had dealt the old man. “I'm all right,” Mr. Cunning- ham insisted, but quite obviously was’in great physical distress. | pan, just hand me that glass, please,” directed, reaching out a hand toward a nearby table. Brent did as he requested. The glass must, he thought, contain something Mr. Cunningham hed been on the verge of taking when they ‘entered his room, for the quid was of a pale, grayish tinge. Mr. Cunsingham swallowed it quickly, and settled back in his chair to rest a moment before |speaking again. Brent and Helen ‘waited. ‘Who these two were and what they wanted of him he had yet to prove to himself. = Suddenly Helen asked a qués- tion of Brent that opened the in- terview anew. “Leonard,” she said with a note of tenderness in her voice that was not lost upon their host, “Leonard, you said awhile ago that you have seen a ter-| picture of my mother.

Mr. Cunningham's gaze went from one face to another, seeking an answer to this amazing state- ment. “Perhaps,” he suggested, “since you have come here it would be better if you told me your story from the beginning.” “Right,” Brent agreed. “When we have done that we shall have no further obligations to you or to your daughter and her hus- 4. “Nellin! Is he alive?” “He is not, and please listen, sir, without interruption.” Mr. Cunningham nodded in as- sent. Brent told him then of how he was called to Mexico to the bed- side of his dying friend, Charles Nellin, and given charge of the little girl who was named for her ir. 1, “They called themselves Mr. and Mrs. Page,” he explained be- fore he went on to tell how he had brought Helen up, “because Charles feared that one of your agents might find them and suc- ceed in separating him from Evas- geline. “E have kept the secret of Helen's parentage for 15 years. Frankly I had no wish to bripg her to you, sir, but as J’ve said. i I was compelled to do so. And 4 T have not hesitated to reveal your i character to her as it came to me from my friend, Charles.
