SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1938, STNOPAIS: Copel, etapleds ar- hime ee ee Farrell Arg! tage, ready for Armitage to make good @ promise to establish him as an artist, He even takes Farrel’s room, although Farrell has fitted an ive suite for pare Sara Quentin. Marks flancde agreed to postpone their ‘wedding @ year; Farrell hopes to win her in that ‘time. Meanwhile Leila Cane, who loves Mark, has paid Patsy Raoul, eccentric actress, to have an affair with Mark. Chapter 24 ENCOUNTER NO. TWO 'T was not on that evening but the next that Mark Lodely sat in the Novelty theater and watched Patsy Raoul. He sat at the back of the box, his eyes keen with excitement. Down below on the stage, bare except for a table and a chair and a ecreen, Patsy Raoul, thin, plain, draped in greenish black, was being a whole dispensary full of women; all of them were undernourished, some dandied infants, one confessed to being “nearly as drunk as I was last Christmas.” Patey Raoul was also the dis- penser, the nurse and the policeman who came in once to restore order and once to fetch the drunken wo man home because her child had just been burned to death. . “Doctor, yew'll ‘ave ter gimme a drop o' somefing fer me nerves naow, wancher?” Then there wag the crash of hand-clapping and the wondering murmur that lifts a success to a sensation. Mark did not clap but he leaned forward, trying to will her to look up. ‘ She had eyes tor no one yet, She nodded, curtly enough, to the packed house and then moved the screen, revealing a piano. She sat down to it and began to talk, to muse aloud to the lisping comment of the music, People began to smile; suddenly she was singing in French and smiles broadened, those who could not understand her show- ing a rather more open appreciation than those who could, Then ehe sang, surprisingly true! and sweet, 2 little country loye- plaint. Mark peered at his pro- gram-and discovered that this was ® composition of her own. He had somehow thought it might be. When she had finished and taken her last call, he had te sit back. She had not looked up, He waited for the interval, then summoned an at- tendant. “I want to see Miss Raoul before she leaves the theater.” “Loould take your card, sir, but" “That will be all right. She will seo me.” “Got Be away! I have not money | now, not anything. I am break, Which why should I checks write when I have not any money?” There was @ great deal of noise but she flapped the sketches in their faces and at last pushed the other artist bodily outside. “Me—genius, you miscree-ations!” she shouted, slam- med the door upon them and came to sit upon the couch next to Mark, “They're better than anyone else's, 69 far. They're me, What are they appearing in?” She had aban- doned her “jargon” without any ex- planation, and Mark’s surprised chuckle wag tribute to her good sense, “D'you mean, what periodical? None. I’ve not offered them any where,” “You're giving them to me, then?" “Oh dear no! If you want them you can buy them. I’m asking | twenty pounds each for them,” Miss Raoul, still in her make-up and her velvet, leapt to her feet, swore that she would throw him out after the others and sat down again beside him. “I can't pay you for a bit,” she He waited, smiling to himsel: tapping a parcel with his long fingers. The next “turn” was over before the attendant returned with the message that Miss Raoul would see him. Even then he did not hurry. He adjusted his crutch, his parcel and himeelt with care. It was fully ten minutes later, after an un- flurried journey up and down stairs and along passages in the wake of & sympathetic dresser, that he en- tered Miss Raoul's room. It held @ good many people, none of whom paid him particular atten- tion. He did not resent this—he sank down on a couch and undid his parcel. From the welter of con- versation he gathered that amongst those present were a woman writer, & man-dregsmaker and an individual in a bowler-hat who had come about @ little matter that was to have been settled last Monday. On an opposite couch a man younger than Mark craned forward to see Miss Raoul and then huddled back again end drew ftrenziedly what he had seen, Mark watched him without rancor, Ho was quite sure his work was very bad. After a reasonable time, as the criss-cross of talk showed no pros- pect of abating, Mark dragged him- self along the couch, and, bending ® little, swung his parcel neatly on to Miss Raoul's table. It dis- placed some jars and bottles and the man-dressmaker turned to stare; but Miss Raoul, still arguing with the bowler-hatted one, picked it up and mechanically began to undo it, Her screech of excitement when Mark’s stetches of her lay open to: ber gaze, stamped her forever an artist. For these were not carica. tures, they did not display her art but only herself, her ugliness, her unwomaniiness. And yet they did not make her just any ugly scare- crow of a woman, She was magnifi- eently—someone. She pushed the admiring circle informed him. “I really am broke.” “Then you'd better borrow trom someone, f'm broke, too! and, in any case, I made up my mind years ago Td never be careless about money if I had a ehance of making any.” “I can’t borrow. There's no one left to borrow trom. Unless—-I might get a fiver out of Farrell Armitage,” “You'll do no such thing,” sald Mark sharply. “I'll do all the bor- rowing from Armitage. He’s mine.” She relinquished the sketches abruptly, went back to her dress- ing-table and stared at herself in the glass, “You're a bit above yourself, aren’t you, Mr. Mark Lodely? Hon- estly?” “I'm the usual temperamental artist, Ask Armitage.” “You can’t pull that stuff with me —I've got a temperament myself! What's behind you? What are you doing?” “Hating and loving.” She clicked her fingers impatient- iy. “Who? Why?” As he did not re- ply, she answered herself-—“One of | the people you hate is Farrell Armitage. I understand that. Why do you take such a lot from him, then?” “Perhaps betause I rather think he’s taking something from me.” Mark had spoken on impulse and because he liked the sound of the retort, And certainly, a part of his mind, perceptively. alert had toyed with the idea that Armitage might be sentimentally interested in Bar- bara. But it was an idea barely worth Weighing. It didn't really matter whether it had any foundation. Bar- bara would never—it was faintly ridiculous to think of Barbara, the patient homemaker, as deserting in favor of a monied life. A slow-mov- ing, plodding, home-loving creature | Barbara; an excellent type to settle down with, one day; a beauti- | ful background to life, “What did you say?” he asked Miss Raoul. “I said I'd back Farrell Armitage against you any day of the week if he has really made up his mind to anything. He knows how to work | and you don’ Quite undisturbed Mark again in- dicated the sketches, “There's work in those.” “I'm not so sure that there 1s,” Miss Raoul examined them anew. “They're good, I don’t deny that, but in a way I'm an easy subject dust because I am such a freak, ‘There's a good deal more luck than judgment’ about your work, so far,” This was a shrewd hit and secret- ly Mark accepted it; but coming from Patsy Raout it roused him to retaliation. “Tho same applies to your per formance tonight!” he retorted. “Your ugliness was @ make-weight | you relied on it heavily in the sur- gery sketch. You couldn't have held the stage three minutes with an or- dinary pink and white kind of countenance.” “There's hard work behind it, anyway!” Miss Raoul thumped the table. “You can’t work like I do, haven't got the guts—" “T haven't as bealthy a body.” “Never mind that, you're the kind that won't work to your own ca- pacity and you'l) sit and make out | it’s the fault of being a cripple! You can’t swing that pathetic stuff on me any more than the temperament. So don’t try!” (Copyright. 1933, Julia Cleft-dddoms) i Mark seizes a curious chance to torture his hostess, Monday, THE ARTMAN PRESS PRIN TING IN THE CITIZEN BLDG. ‘\Basketball Game Here Arranged For Monday Through some Fcteeiatacebee sling, the basketball game sched- juled to be played last night be sae the Celtics and Alumni }was not played.
