By a queer thance, he engages the Golden phony Eight, and Ray, re- that a mask will hide features, agrees to play the band at the party, smiling ironically at the para- al turn of affairs. Rita ‘#@md Ray are working feverish- Ty on the score for Pete An- Melm's revue. The pretty dancer ‘mianages to hide her heartache, pesulting from the discovery that Ray still loves his wife and speks cuccess only as a means of a reconciliation with her. ‘But one night she wavers and ‘Ay begins to comprehend what he ‘means to the girl. Chapter 30 BARBARA’S HOUSE WARMING The night of Barbara’s house- warming! Thousands of colored lights dotted the drive. Limousines' were winding in a never-ending stfeam between the tall pines that stood sentinel on either side. Laughing ladies, a glimpse of some bizarre costume revealed be- meath opera cloak of velvet or satin, ‘were being assisted to alight by fheir men, likewise fantastically garbed. Clown costumes were favored by the men—circus riders by the wo- ‘men. the season, every one vowed. Then, dear Barbara always had been noted for her bizarre parties in the old ‘days—but how original to have evolved an idea such as thts! Everyorie was agog to see Bar-!‘ bara herself, who, the servants in- ‘formed: them, was receiving in the ballroom. That was in the new wihg she had added to her home especially for the occasion. !""The new wing consisted of two ‘fioors, the ehtrance to the ballroom belng a wide statrcase leading di- ‘veetly infto ti from the hall below. "There cverything was in readiness foF a continuous buffet supper, the ‘tables llterally groaning under a 1 of delicacies. fip the wide staircase and into the balirpom they trooped, to stop ‘and utter a gasp of amazement and ‘delight. For immediately they were carried straight back to the dear ‘exeiting days of childhood on which the clrcus eame to town! ‘he dancing was in a gigantic witeus ring. Around this, instead of chairs, were wooden bencnes. From ‘the cetling ' hung trapezes, tight ‘Yopes and all the indispensable ‘trappings of the circus. Ragged drohins circled the hall, shouting in realistic monotone, “Peanuts, pop- @oth and crackerjack,” or “Ice-cold ginger-pop, pink lemonade.” Cer- talply this was a ball to be re- mémbered! tBarbara herself, in a short circus aglitter of spangles, a tinsel crown encircling her copper-brown head, found herself overwhelmed ALIAS SUMMONS 4. “No. 820 P 1h, the' Commissionet’s Court, Ter-| ‘fitory of Alaska, First Judiclal ‘Precinct, Juneau Precinct, Be- fore, Frank A.

She laughingly discounted it ,passing not a little praise on to Henderson. | The costume he wore was, that of { inn old-fashioned ringmaster, a tall |black hat, an ill-fitting tail coat, | dress trousers and, in his hand a :whlp which he cracked continuously. Dancing now was in full swing, a | mad, merry jumble on the floor. A porcupine with a kangaroo, a bear | with a rabbit, a trapeze artist with |a seal—the laughs they got out of |it, the fun! Never had they felt | themselves freer from restraint— | more determined on a roaring good | time. The very clothes they wore, cir- |cus clothes, seemed to transplant | them to the care-free days of child-| hood—business worries, disappoint- ing love affairs, all vanished for the time being. During the first part of the eve- ning the Golden Symphony Eight was concealed behind a trellis. They were being kept in reserve for one ‘of the specially arranged stunts planned to enliven the evening. } Henderson, dancing with Bar- bara, was whispering: “It's a splendid success. I'm so glad for you. You're happy, aren't | you, my dear? Please tell me you're happy .. ." “Yes, Hendy. I'm happy. I'd be ;an ungrateful little pig, wouldn’t I, [if T weren't?” | Yes—she supposed she was happy. She llked the signs of life and ex- citement all around her. Only—see- ling the hands cf a young couple |cling together longer than was ne- |cessary at the end of a dance— |then was she conscious of a sharp twinge in her heart. A sharp twinge of envy, of memory, of long- ing for the days when she and Ray had been so absurdly in love . . . A gala entertainment was planned for the middle of the evening. To open it, Barbara, acceding to nu- merous requests, had promised to dance for her guests. In her short skirts, with her bare knces and high boots, she suited her dance to vhe spirit of the occasion, cracking her whip as she went through her steps, ending with a couple of somersaults that brought forth thunderous applause. Ray sufficiently tell to watch her over the trellis, was poignantly aware of strangely mixed feelings. The lavishness he saw around him made it seem absurd that it was his own wife who was doing it. The ifrony made him feel like laughing, especially when he thought of his own meager apartment. How had he ever had the nerve to marry |Barbara when their- two worlds were so completely apart! Still, incredible as it ruight be, she was still his wife. A mad no- tion had seized him to rush down into that circus ring, take Barbara and whirl her away in his arms. Why not? But watching her laughing face, the impulse died. He believed in her assumed gaiety. He had no means of knowing that it was not real. Tight-rope walkers and trapeze artists followed Barbara’s turn. Then oathe the event of the eve- nihg, a veritable circus parade— gehulne wild animals hired from an act touring the vaudeville cir- tult. 5 They were led up the wide stair- case and into the ring by their keepers. What laughter, what ap- plause greeted them! For a num- ber of the animals led were most humorously costumed. } A great bear paraded in tartan plain pantaloons, an ostrich wore glasses and an absurd hat was tuck on her head; monkeys were festive with huge Elizabethan ruffs, and wee poodles, parading on their hind legs, were dressed for all the VICTOR RADIO 10 Tubes Complete $178.00 A Late Assortment of VICTOR RECORDS Now Being Demonstrated JUNEAU MELODY ' HOUSE Témporary location over Dr. Pigg's Office Repairing AERIALS ERECTED A compleet stock of Batteries, Tubes, Aerial Wire, etc. - Capital Electric Co.

And, as a climax as though all this wasn’t enough, an elephant entered the ring and there on its back, in a basket-shaped arrange- ment, Eight! [ a ball been staged in the annals of society! The elephant, vaudeville trained, commenced to jazz. Very heavily and deliberately, but jazz, neverthe- less. That proved too much for the audience. They couldn’t sit still Shouting and laughing they broke through the ring, clustering around the animal. Then it was that an extraordinary thing happened. A strange sound like the ripping of timber was heard, growing grad- ually louder on the far side of the room. Guests felt dizzy. They at each other stupefied, unable to comprehend what was happening. Suddenly a shout rang out, faint- ly discernible above the growing din. “Good Lord! Look out! Tne floor is giving away.” (Copyright, Dial Press) A thousand guests face death in the swaying building.
