CHAPTER XXIX Later, when there was a lull, she went to Jed’s table. She was sitting there, enjoying his friendly banter in the midst of all that strange hilarity, when Mike came seeking her. His small eyes narrowed to ugly slits, but his manner remained affable. Lynn had repulsed his own attentions only the previous evening, and he was still furious. But Jed Townsend was a good patron whom he would not offend. His manner was urbane and he praised Lynn before her friend but Lynn sensed the threat in his hypocrisy and later watched Jed’s departure with a fearful dread. She felt aa if she must run after that disappearing figure and entreat him to take her with him and protect her. But she could not do that She had no claim whatever on Jed Townsend, and besides, she had to maintain her own independence. It wasn’t so much that she was personally afraid of Mike Perrone; it was only that he swung over her the power of life itself. Her smile felt as if it were frozen on her face, her arms and legs moved like mechanical devices which she controlled but whose rigid action she could not altar. At three o’clock, just before she could escape, Mike summoned Lynn to his office. She had expected it, and dreaded the encounter. But she went to him with a stoic calm. His expression leered, and he did not rise from his office chair—which was gilded and upholstered in gold satin, like any pretentious monarch’s throne—as she stood before him. ‘‘So! you scorn Mike Perrone, but take the advantage of bees club to dreenk weeth your friends.” “I supposed you would wish me to act as a hostess to a regular patron,” she said coldly. "Ah, yes—to all my regular patrons!’’ he said significantly. “I have not see you favor my own friends so highly.” He referred to the night when a group of Italian revelers had urged her to joto their party and she had refused with what grace she could command. “But, Mr. Townsend was alone.” “To be sure. He came to see you —not?” ‘‘l suppose he did. He was interested to know how I liked being here, having brought me here in the first place.” Her manner was reserved and inscrutible, but under the surface she controlled violent renunciations. Why? Because of her desperation to hold onto something which served as a link between sustenance and starvation. He sneered. “I do not weesh again to see you favor your own friends, eef you cannot do the same for mine, see?’’ he dismissed her, and Lynn fled from the room, trembling violently within. She cried herself to sleep, finally, as the early spring dawn made of the one window in her room a pale Say square of light. Apparently, ere was no end to her torture. How long would her resistence endure? Another week passed, with little variation tn Lynn’s loathsome existence. But she had a few more dollars in her purse which she was conserving by pennies toward a vague future when she hoped to escape from this horror. Every precious dollar was a step toward liberty, which would enable her to

reach out again for something better. e The meagerness of her wardrobe began to worry her. By studied rotation of her few changes in formal gowns and small efforts for different effect, she tried to conceal the paucity of her equipment. But Mike's wary eyes noted the repeated similarity of her appearance, and he protested one evening: “You have not enough deeferent clothes. You should not wear so much the same theengs.” “I can’t afford much variety in evening gowns on my salary,” she reminded him. “This gown I am wearing cost as much as my income for a month.” “You are not expected to buy gowns from your salary,” he reminded her significantly. She did not reply, only stared at him with rigidly forced equanimity. A slight shrug of his thick shoulders spanned the moment of silence, then he spoke again, and his voice had changed to a mollifying tone, “Now me—l should be veree happy to buy you a new gown, eef only you would be a leetle more generous weeth the smile for me. Why not?” he coaxed, and leaned forward with expectation. “I shall buy my own gowns, as I always have, Mr. Perrone,” Lynn said distinctly, and walked away abruptly. The next day, she arose early and went in search of a new dress. She could not pay much and it was so difficult to find anything which suited her distinct style in the lowpriced dress shops. Finally, she decided on a very severe model of black crepe which maintained a certain dignity in spite of its meek price tag. Having carried it back to her room, she spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening making the necessary alterations and some minor improvements with her own hands. The result was better than she had hoped, and she wore the gown that night. Mike’s discerning glance traveled over her slowly, and then met hers with a gleam of approval. He nodded, and appeared to be vastlypleased—more than her change in costume warranted. Lynn wondered, with a new and undefinable fear, what would be his next display of power over her. Had she made a mistake to humor his command so readily? Would he use that small victory to exact from her further compliance with his wishes? She felt like a small wild creature completely surrounded by the meshes of a bewildering cage. « • • » Mike Perrone walked between the tables with his short waddling steps, following a waiter who had summoned his presence for a patron, Mr. Ollie Barret. Ah, yes! Mr. Barret should have the honor of his Sersonal attention if he so desired. lr. Barret was a good customer, who brought many other good customers to the Roman Chariot. Mike's smile was made to order for the occasion, broad and shining above his bioad and jewel-buttoned white waistcoat. Ollie introduced him to Jack, who also shared the expansive smile. Then Ollie Inquired, “Where’s the new girl I saw here only the other night—the black-haired princess your gsnius discovered somewhere?”

Mike raised his heavy eyebrows inquiringly, wanting more than any. thing else to forget that princess. His palms spread outward with eloquent silence. “Oh, come, you know that sleekhaired beauty who was your hostess last week. Isn’t she here any more?” “Indeed, no!” he hissed, with narrowing eyes. “Weil, you lost something, all right. I've heard a lot of people talking about her. She was a big drawing card.” “Pssh!” Mike’s hands made a shoving gesture. “She was terrible —terrrrible! Eef I have not deescharge her, she tear thees place to pieces!” His eyes implored ths protection of heaven, which he had effected for himself. And so, another man's shoulders were eloquent with their dismissal of Lynn from all future responsibility. At his first intimation that Lynn had gone. Jack's reaction was of otter defeat; but when Mike continued to elaborate upon the terrible disposition of the ex-hostess, he decided that the girl could not possibly have been Lynn, after all. That he had not found her there, was disappointment enough. He was glad to believe that the girl in question, who had left the club only the previous night, could not possibly have been Lynn. So sure was Jack that the missing hostess was not Lynn that he did not bother to ask her name. “I’m sorry I dragged you way up here for nothing,” he apologized to Ollie, “but your description of her fitted so perfectly a girl whom I’ve been hunting for weeks. I guess it couldn’t have been her, though. She wasn’t like that !” “I’d hope not,” laughed Ollie, “else it would be just as well you didn’t find her. What a life you would escape, if she was!” They finished their drinks and departed. As Jack waited for Ollie to unlock the door of the coupe, he stood looking up at a dingily lighted window in a shabby apartment house across the street. For some reason, the one lighted window had attracted his attention. Why, he did not know; but as he slid into the low seat beside Ollie, that window held his gaze and he experienced a strange feeling. As if he almost had touched that for which his hand reached out; a vague withdrawing of something just beyond his grasp. He shook himself irritably and settled down into the seat in an overwhelming mood of dejection. It was his disappointment over not finding Lynn, when he had been so sure that he was going to see her, which affected him, he decided. Beyond that dimly lighted window, however, Lynn lay prone upon the lumpy cotton mattress of her bed, glad that she was not across the street tonight in that garish, tawdry atmosphere of the Roman Chariot; and at the same time horribly frightened because she was not. She was out of the cage now, and in the vast open space where there was danger in every direction she turned. She had one more day in her room with the rent paid. All day, she had been debating what she would do then, (To Be Continued) CopnUhi, 1 >3l. Kin* Fmiuiw SyndlnU, Ine.
ment that their warships in Spanish waters will return Are if flred upon. The warning requested both factious to “issue instructions in the strongest terms" to their repectlve fighting forces to respect the American flag. The protest to the government was made to the Madrid foreign office by the American embassy I there. An Identic protest was made informally to General Francesco Franco through the JChierlean consul at Seville. It was necessary to make the representation i informally, since the United States has not accorded diplomatic recognition that a state of belligerency exists in Spain. The American protest was stern but not unfriendly. It expressed confluence that the leaders of the warring faction* in Spain would desire to warn their fighting forces against a repetition of the attack on an American warship since it is “well known In every quarter that the sole purpose of the presence of American naval vessels about the Spanish coast is to afford facilities for the removal of American nationals from Spain.” The identity of the attacking plane was not ascertained. "Both government forces and the opposing forces tn Spain in the friendliest spirit have made every possible effort to avoid injure to American nationals aiRT American property," the state department said. o “ CLASSIFIED * ADVERTISEMENTS I BUSINESS CARDS | AND NOTICES ♦ • RATES * ' One Time—Minimum charge of 25c for 20 words or less.
