She had married | Robey because of her inbred sense | of- gratitude. He had saved her life and she could not refuse the only thing he asked. The memory of that moment of terror when | she had fallen from the platform of a subway station to the track} below came back too vividly for| her ever to forget the debt. It had taken sheer courage to leap. after, her and drag her to safety in the| face of an oncoming train. Only | Robey of all that stricken mob) had possessed it. Whenever the strangeness of her married life threatened to overwhelm her and her desire to get away became almost unbear- able she relived that stark mo- ment she had lost all contact with reason and was sunk in a delir- ium of fear. Even now, knowing that Robey planned some new hu- miliation to gratify his appetite | for drama, she could not desert m. It was probably that same| characteristic that had brought him to her rescue. She was begin- ning to believe it was his craving for publicity that had made him insist on their marriage. The pa- pers had been full of stories about | the heroic rescue of an unknown | girl by the Prince of Broadway. When he had married the same| girl, the headlines had rung with the triumph of romance. Julia’s surprising beauty had seemed a} smashing coincidence and it made | pictures a joy for the tabloids. The great room with its mas- With a sudden start she rec- ognized Robey. She crossed the glass border of the floor to one of the tall case- ment windows on the north and drew the panes inward. The wind came in sharp gusts as if the earth, too, were breathing swift- ly because of the ‘approach of some unknown disturbance. It swept tendrils of hair across her eyes and she pushed them back and gazed at the vista of red tinged leaves that gave a festive air to the trees in Central Park. Her broken thoughts and the atmosphere without created a feeling of unreality that closed over her raw nerves like a deli- cate coating that had no perma- nance. Idly she reached for the | binoculars that Robey kept near sive modern her feel small and “Ro- bey’s famous paintings which had made-more than ene critic ex- claim that here was indeed a genius whose light shone on whatever he touched, did not en-| liven the cold formality of the the windows. She fastened them| ‘on the street below and incurious- ly watched scurrying figures in} the evening rush. It was the same scene she saw each night and about each figure -there was a nostalgic quality.

The | little girl in a plaid jacket swing- ing roller skates was little Julie lin grade school, happy and be- }loved. The men leaning against | the park wall waiting— With a sudden start, she recog- | nized Robey as one of the loung- ters standing almost directly across from the door of the apartment house. | There was no mistaking the | arrogance of his carriage and the slight fiambo: any of his brown | sport suit and hat. He wasn’t tall | but his rough blond head was | spectacular. His body was well | built, tapering from wide shoul- | ders to narrow hip: and giving a | sense of balance and power. Once | she had thought she would learn | to know the person back of his | pale eyes and the disturbing emo- tional voice but now she knew he | was forever hidden behind voice | and gestures that were ruled sole- ly for the effect they could || create. Her slender fingers were white against the binoculars and she did not feel the increasing violence of the uncertain wind that licked |! her bare arms and held the chif- fon gown against her body like a shifting mold. iA WOMAN coming along the +4 street stepped up to Robey and Julia saw them talking. The woman was almost as tall as he and wore a black dress that the wind jerked as a child will. pull at its mother’s skirts. A revealed red petticoat matched the purse and the hat that sat pertly on her creamy colored hair cut Garbo- fashion. Julia didn’t remember ever seeing her before. She took something from her large red purse and gave it to Robey. He looked at it briefly, scribbled a line on it with a pen- cil from his pocket and put it away carefully in his billfold. With a hasty glance to each side, he handed the woman some money from the leather case. Quickly she jammed the roll into the purse and stepped into the street, regardless of the heavy traffic. When she was halfway across, Julia saw a gust of wind, influ- enced by some cyclonic past, pick the red hat from the woman’s head and toss it to the top of a Passing cab. The long curls waved in the wind as if in farewell. The | no doubt realisieg the fuuiity of no doubt futility o! | running after the errant hat.
