The room looked drear and dull. Marthe's face was pale and wan and drawn, and her eves fretted. Elise had a sudden impulse to cry unre strainedly. Almost she hated herself for the night's unhappiness, for the promise the last few minutes had brought to her. “Oh, Marthe,” she said, 1 am sorry. 1 gone.” “You shouldn't,” answered Marthe shortly. “Doctor was here with me, and he said you shouldn't.” Elise undressed. And now she was tired indeed, and the golden wideness of her vision beautiful was shut out from her sight behind the drab walls of reality. ‘1 am sorry. should never have CHAPTER X.

It was within two days of the bal masque; a note addressed to her at the room in the Rue Jacques, asking her to call on him at his office at 11 o'clock on the following morning. At first Elise thought it the preface to dismissal, but realized that there would be no ceremony attached to her departure from the Internationale and that anything so catastrophic would be accomplished by Lolette in & few pungent phrases. She found Brunel in his room at the theater, for in building the In- ternationale he had equipped it with a splendid suite of offices, from which he controlled his various other places of amusement scattered about Paris and France. It was a large room, long and high. with a great bookcase down one wall, the others oak paneled and adorned by signed photographs of theatrical celebrities. Brunel was sitting at a great plate-glass topped desk in the Jenter of the polished floor and he wesigned Elise to a seat opposite him, She was a little apprehensive and nervous, although her fears were somewhat negatived by Brunel's smile. y, dance the other The Brunel “You were at m evening, ma’'m'selle. “Yes, monsieur.” And 'yow enjoyed it?" There was a “suave benevolence about Brunel which Elise had never perceived be- fore and which struck a discordant note. ~Very much, monsteur."” “Ah!" I was watching you, and 1 thought you did.” Brunel seemed to settle himself comfortably. as though all the preliminaries were got over and he and she were on terms of es- tablished friendship. “Now you are wondering why 1 have brought you here this morning, eh? Elise admitted that she was. She did not like this treachy. amiability. “The reason I asked you to call” continued Brunel, “Is because I can make vour fortune. She stared at him, thinking for a moment that he was mad, but realiz- ing immediately that Brunel was not the type to be afMlicted with insanity. “I don’t understand, monsieur,” she said at last. . “No? And you dance as I saw you dance at my house? Don’t you real- ize that you are wasting your time in a dressing room?” She hardly dared attempt to grasp his meaning, so incredible was it. He added: “I have made many dancers—I, Brunel. And I know a dancer when I see one. You think this is all ridiculous?” For Elise's bewilderment was plainly written, in her expression. “Regard Lolette! 1 made her, You look at her cars, her jewels and her gowns. You see her with the world at her feet, wealthy, famous, her name on everybody's lips; and she seems far above you, in the stars, beyond your reach. Yet I can remember the time when she sat op- posite me—opposite Brunel—at just such a desk as this, and said she was willing to do her best if only I would help her: Lolette. The premiere danseuse! This man spoke of Lolette and drew a parallel with herself! Elise felt that her senses were reeling. She strove to be calm, and smiled quickly and nervously. 'Her fingers were plucking at the vanity bag on her knees. If all this were true it meant wealth. Her imignation was rearing a structure of fanciful inten- tion which reached to the skies. Marthe would be safe forever. She might even be cured, for the best of medical advice could be obtained for her. There would at least be sun- shine and rest for the remainder of her life, attention and luxury and all the comforts money could purchase. Old Dr. Lapierre would be paid in full and over for the service he had rendered. All this Elise thought swiftly, tumultuously, while yet she tried to grasp the tremendous impor- tance of Brunel's proposition. She heard Brunel speaking again. “You like the idea? It appeals to you?’ “Monsleur—I_don’t know how to thank you.” Despite her efforts at self-control, her agitation was plain- Iy visible. “It is a thing of which I never dreamed. You see—when 1 danced—it was only fun. 1 never thought that there could ever be any- thing in it Brunel nodded. “Tt is just the lit- tle thought—and the opportunity.” Somehow, she felt he was measuring TO COME.” T her with his eyes, heeded it. She was aquiver with vast excite- ments, her heart lilted with happi- ness. She fell as though the gates of fortune had been flung wide for hei, £nd in this first golden vision of op- portunity she was biind to any poss bility of failure, realizing that in ner heart of hearts the dance had plways lured her and beckoned to her, so that now she went gladly in answer to, its call. “The opportunit softly. “It is you who are providing that, monsieur, and 1 cannot express my gratitude.” She could only reiterate her thanks. She felt she wanted time to think, to get hold of the miracle of it all. to look about her and find her footing. She had, in those mo- ments, no definite vision of the fu- ture, not the faintest idea that she would ever rival Lolette: but only a hazy perspective of the riches Brunel had mentioned, and, as a song in her heart, the assurance that the drab- ness of the old days must slip from her like a cloak loosened about her shoulders. Brunel was still measuring her, and now his eyes were aglow. To her cheeks, born of her excitement, had come a littie touch of elusive color, but she hardly repeated Bruncl CONTINUED BRU, CAN MAKE YOUR FORTUNE. pink merging to marble whiteness and her eyes were ke stars, so that she was filled with radjant life, ador- able, alluring. Brunel told himself that even Mordac had never fully ap- preciated the beauty of this girl, and Mordac had an eye for th things which was second to none in Paris He trod carefully. “As you say, 1 provide the oppor- tunity.” But it is only for those who understand me, whom 1 understand— who are willing to work with me and for me—well."” “Of coursge, monsieur.” She was. eager in almost a childish fashion: simply reassuring. I know that. But 1 will work, and 1 will try to under- stand. I will do my best, all my best always. That would be only due to you, for your kindness.” The pity of this declaration passed Brunel by. He was thinking only of her beaut “So!" Now Lolette and I are good friends. “We always have been—trom the first. Lolette is one who sees her opportunities and grasps them with both hands. She is a clever, shrewd woman, as ell 48 a great artiste. She realizes that there are certain things which one must accept in life: that good friendship is a thing which tacitly admits of the existence of the completest confidence “Of course, monsieur. 1y cooled now, with her brain stead ing. wondered why Brunel thought it necessary to point all this out. “Now vou are not only clever, but you are beautiful—more beautiful than any woman I have ever known.” Into Brunel's voice had crept a tre- mor of intense passion, unrestrained:. “In your hands I can place riches be- yond even those of Lolette. 1 can set your name above the names of all of them I can bring the world to your feet. He leaned forward still fur- ther, as though to reach across the desk and clasp her. “Only—there must be understanding and friend- ship. Is it clear?” She stayed quite still for an appre- clable space, staring straight into his eyes; and as she stared she slowly grasped the enormity of the thing he hinted at, and which he had not yet intended "to propose definitely. but which the sight of her beauty had drawn from him.

She had been, that morning, taken to the top of a high mountain and shown all the kingdom of the earth, and then cast down to the bottomless pit be- cause she had turned a deaf ear to the voice of the tempter.
