Then, with Picrre’s departure for dramatic NOPSIS: When ov Pierre tcheel imminent, he tells him that Anne’s tears are due to Pierrc’s rofusal to provide the meney that would mean a pay- ing invectment for them all Pierre does not know that the mine is promoted by his es- tranged father, Roy Donovan, Brucc's stepfather. The misrep- resentation causes Pierre to hand Bruce the money as the latter is starting on a trip for the bank that employs him and Anne’s father, Martin Bevis. Picrre’s sudden misgivings are tharpened by Bruce’s cool fare- well. Then, alone with Ann,“he helps her take some dress meas- urements and is overwhelmed upen discovering that he is des- perately in love with her. i Chapter 20 TRAGIC BURLESQUE Ann had run o her room get a dress, while Pierre stooc thoughtfully contemplating the dress form which from his meas urements of Ann's person had beer made an exact duplicate of her living body. He had been so preoccupied that he had not answered Ann, when clapping her hands in excitement she stood beside the form anc cried: “Isn't it exactly like me?” Then she had returned with ¢ slip like the one she had beer wearing as he had taken her meas-} urements, and had placed it on the form . And now he was alone again witl the dress imidly and for- getful of all else he touc ed the model with loving caresses as 1 Ann's garment covered not the wires and rods of a mechanica form but Ann’s living self. He was thus engaged when Ani appeared with the dress, which she had gons to fetch, over her arm In the doorway she stopped shor and stood amazed and frightened but wondrously elated at what shc saw. The very intimacies which hac aroused Pierre had awakened he. to the realities of her affection fo: him, and she, too, was overwhelmec by the flood of emotions which a this discovery of his love swep over her. Then Pierre knew that she wa: there. As they fac d each other, ful realization ca to them both. But in that same instant the finc spiritual endowments which Pierre had from his mother, Harriet Noel the strength of character whict had been given him through the peautiful companionship of mothel and son, the true greatness of sou which had been so wisely fosterec in him by the old actor, Antonic fatour—all the essential forces ol his nature were aroused As instinctively as he had drawn close to the dress form which, by the magic of the moment, was the body of Ann, he now moved to pro- teéct the love which in the madnes: of the moment they both had rec- ognized. ‘With his arm about the waist of the dress form he acted a ridicu- 1bus burlesque love scene whick reached its ‘climax when, with the dress form in his arms, he whirlec about the room in a wild, grotesque dance.

By CLIFF STERRETT LIGHT, YES, THIS IS OUR HEAVIEST SET, SIR/ WHERE SHALL I SEND THEM? ~'NEEDN'T SEND 'EM, SON/ I'LL people who write plays for the pa-| pers are saying wonderful things | about you! He says that you are the great- t actor of your generation and that some day the people of Or- hard Hill will read in their papers about you and that then they will appreciate you. Only today he told me that they'd sing a different tune about you.” In the high pitch of emotional | ’xcitement to which he had al-| eady been aroused, Ann's words vere almost more than he could sndure. | Beside himself with anguish, hs houted: “For God’'s sake let me vone. Don't talk about what I am going to do. I can't stand it, I tell you!” He dropped into a chair and ouried his face in his hands. Interpreting this as referring to heir love she cried out: “Plerre!” ind made as if to go to him. But m the verge of sweeping everything iside with an open avowal of love, he stopped. | Again she cried “Plerre!” then lowly she drew back. Quietly, sad- y, she said, “I fear it is fortunate Pierre ,that you are going away in the morning.” “But that's just it,” he shouted, pringing to his feet, “I am not z0ing away in the morning! “Do you understand? I am not joing away to school at all.” “You are not going to school?” she faltered. “Why, Pierre! If you are not going to school as you ave planned, what are you going to do?” *Stay here and be a soda jerk in he Owl Drug Store, I suppose.” Suddenly the significance of 3ruce’s manner when telling them | good-by and the meaning of Pierre’s | listurbed state of mind was clear o her. She ran to Pierre and caught him )y the arm. In her excitement she hook him as if he were a child. “Pierre—Pierre Donovan! I be- ieve you gave your school money 0 Bruce! Tell me, did 1? Did you?” i “Yes." “Oh, Pierre, Pierre, why, why iid you do such a thing?” Pierre, remembering all that| 3ruce had said about her hopes wnd disappointment, vildered to speak. “It was wicked', she said, “wick- | >d! Oh, why did you do it? He stared at her stupidly. 4 “Why did you do it?” she said gain. “How could you take the noney your mother left to train| 7ou for the stage and let Bruce 2ave it for his mining scheme? “What about Father Tony and 1s plans to make you famous on | he stage!” Suddenly he understood how Bruce had tricked him by appeal- ng to his love for Ann. He laugh- 2d. Ann, frightened, cried, Sierre—don’t—don’t!" With reckless passion, he shout- xd: “I did it so that we can all de rich. You want to be rich, don't you? “Don’t you want beautiful things —dresses and jewelry and automo- Jiles? Don't you want to live in 1 fine house with servants and go ‘0 the theatre and sit in a box ind see great plays? Of course was too be-| “Pierre, you do. “Bruce wants to be rich; he would commit a murder if it vould bring him money enough. Your father wants to be rich. “I want to be rich, too. To hell “Everybody wants to be rich, ex- body says he is a fooll” “Plerre, stop it!" she cried. “you know you don’t mean a word you are saying. “I shall make Bruce return every he gets home tomorrow morning.” Pierre laughed: “Yes, you willl I ‘With bitter scorn of his own his kind. I'll never go back to that damned soda fountain, so help me God! Tl get the money I need if I have to steal it; I'll get it if T have to kill somebody Ann was frightened; she had never realized that Pierre was cap- able of such passion. He' had al- ways been so calm and well poised. “Pierre,” she said gently, timidly ‘please, dear, don’t—don’t lose con- trol of yourself like this—you—" But Pierre rushed from the room. Ann called wildly: “Pierre!— Pierre! Everything will be all right, Pierre!” The front door slammed. (Copyright, 1930, by D. Applewni and Co.) Ann’s werry over Pierre con- tirues.
