1- _ SYNOPSIS Enrouts to her home in Los Ani gcles from college, beautiful Elizabeth Harmon meets Gerald Bruton, a stock broker. Her step-father. Colonel James McCarthy, disapproves of Gerald, but after a whirlwind courtship, the young couple elope to Arizona and are nvrried. That same day, in the lobby of a hotel at San Diego, a woman approaches Gerald and exclaims, ‘‘Why, Gerald. I’d no idea you were in California. Have you brought your wife along? Or is Mrs. Bruton in Chicago?" Elizabeth is stunned but Gerald assures her he was divorced, adding that he rcj trained from telling her for fear of losing her love. A few hours later. Gerald is arrested for defrauding investors. Unable to face the disgrace, Elizabeth goes to New York. She changes her name to Luana Waters and registers at a cheap hotel. In search of employment, she reads an announcement of a beauty contest to be held at a Fashion Show and Tea Dance, the winnera of which will be given positiona as mannequins in the famous House of Quackenbush. Luana's beauty attracts the attention of the wealthy Mrs. Joel Vandaveer who personally enters Luana in the contest. She wins. The following Monday, arriving at the Quackenbush establishment, Luana is coolly received by the other models. Hoping to embarrass Luana, they present her with a monkey named “Chou-Chou." At lunchtime, she meets Yvonne Dautrey. another model, who tells her to ignore the jealousy of the others. Yvonne suggests that Luana share her Greenwich Village apartment. CHAPTER XI The apartment of Yvonne Dautrey was in the old-fashioned French manner. Directly under the roof in a somewhat dilapidated-looking house in the old part of Greenwich Village, its little entrance hall and living room and bedroom were papcret throughout in a gaudy pattern of enormous flowers and birds against impossible-looking foliage. This wallpaper covered even the very doors I It made Chou-Chou shriek exuberantly, as if he felt right back where he belonged, in his original forest! Because she was practically devoid of money until pay-day (which was five days off) and because Yvonne had been insistent, and she had felt lonely in this great city, and

she had no time to look for lodgings, Luana had consented to stay with the French girl. Yvonne would be company in the evenings. Luana dreaded her own thoughts and memories. She was still suffering from the shock of her unfortunate, brief marriage with its sequel. The chatter of Yvonne helped to dispel, however temporarily, the vision of this recent, devastating past It struck Luana there was something in Yvonne akin to ChouChou, the little monkey. Both had quaint small faces, beady black eyes that noticed everything, incessantly jabbering tongues, and restless bodies. « That Yvonne, In true French 'ashion, had got much the better of the bargain in their division of the apartment had been unnoticed by Luana, however. Gladly she agreed to sleep upon the livingroom couch that quaintly turned into a bed at night The bathroom would be her dressingroom. Yvonne had the bedroom. Luana said she found the arrangement perfectly all right On the fourth night after her arrival, she was sitting alone in the livingroom, Yvonne having gone off to dine and dance somewhere or other. Luana had settled herself near the open window with a book. It was a sweet Spring evening. Soft airs caressed her, flowing in on her over the quaint crazy old roofs. She thought: “1 feel like Trilby. Or like Mimi in her attic.” Then she sighed involuntarily as she remembered that only a lover was missing. But in her present circumstances, it was folly—and worse—to let her thoughts wander towards romance. ... She started as a ball of fur clutching fluttery white papers bounded through the open window past her very nose. "Chou-Choul You bad boy! What have you got? Come here at once!” She had jumped to her feet in pursuit of Chou-Chou, but halted in amazement and alarm. For the light coming from the window was 1 darkened by a man’s figure suddenly blocking the aperture ... a man who made no attempt to stand ;

on ceremony but who sprang over ■ the sill with an agility which ri- ■ vailed Chou-Chou’s, landing several , feet inside the livingroom. , Luana gave a stifled scream. The man paid no attention to her. He swooped down on Chou-Chou i who fled under the couch that later would be turned into a bed. The man dived after him, his long legs in grey flannel trousers jutting from the chintz skirts of the couch, the rest of his body bidden. "Come out, you thievish devil I Give me back those papers! Come out, or I’ll wring your gosh-darn neck!” In a flurry, Chou-Chou emerged to leap to the mantelpiece and from thence to a high shelf whereon was a painted dinner service of Alsatian crockery much cherished by Yvonne.. One end of the roll of papers was in Chou-Chou’s teeth. The other

1 caught the handle of a soup tureen which hurtled to the floor, smashing to pieces. Chou-Chou opened his mouth to bewail (or more probably cheer) the calamity, and the papers skidded down. The irate newcomer grabbed them, ignoring the broken crockery at his feet, turning angrily on Luana. “Is this messy brute yours? I’ve a mind to turn him over to the police I If he’s spoiled my drawings, I swear I will, little sneak-thief that he is!” Hands shaking with excitement and anger, he unrolled the papers. Luana saw they were pen-and-ink plans of buildings. He hastily scanned them for possible injury. But there were only marks of little teeth down one side. “What's it all about?" she demanded haughtily. “What right have you to break into this apartment? I’ve a good mind to call the police myself 1’ “Is that so?” He glared at Luana. He seemed absolutely unconscious of her youth and beauty, so indignant he was. “You harbor this thief who steals property that may be worth thousands of dollars to me—that may be the turning point of my whole life—my future—and so far from apologizing, you have the effrontery to talk that way!" “Effrontery? You’re the most impudent man I’ve ever met!” she choked. “Indeed, you're more of a monkey than a man, climbing over roofs to burst into people’s houses. Don’t blame Chou-Chou 1 You’re as bad as he is!” Brown eyes glared furiously into blue. Blue met brown eyes coldly, unflinchingly. She was through with men. Greedy, grabbing predatory creatures, thinking only of themselves and their petty property! “The monkey broke into my studio, I tell you. He ran off with my architectural designs. It was no time to stand on ceremony. I had to follow him over the roofs and get them. If you choose to have a menace for a pet, then the consequences are your own show, not mine.”

Luana was furious. Both breathed • quickly as they stared at each I other. She said, pointing to the open window: '‘Will you kindly go back the way you came, or must I . call the janitor?” i He gave an Ironical bow He • started to move to the window, hold- ■ ing his papers. He was a thin i young man with dark reddish han i and a face that would have been ati tractive had it not been so worn looking, she bad noted. Suddenly, with one hand on the i window-sill, he hesitated, and seemed to stagger. Then he slumped down on the window scat, as though in collapse. Luana stood still, staring nt him Was it melodramatics? Had he been drinking? This was the crown- . ing touch! His head had fallen forward, his body had slipped slackly against

1 the left wall of the little alcove. I Luana took three quick steps to- ■ wards him. She bent down to look > at his face It was very pale. His eyes were closed. It was as though I he had fainted. I Compassion touched her. Here ? was no shamming. Her mind worked 1 fast. Young artist of Greenwich Village . . . probably starving Sick, ! anyhow. Maybe a heart attack. ? Brought on by the chase across the , roofs, the feat of losing what he ; had worked long over, and that he fondly expected would bring him : fame or money. She waited a moment. Give him ; time to recover. He did not move. ’ She became alarmed. Ought she to run for the janitor? Call a doctor? Considering the w-ay he had arrived here, that would be embar- • rassing for him—suppose it wasn’t : serious?—and for her as well. If it was serious—were he to die ) here—the ensuing publicity would doubtless bring forth further ap- . palling publicity about her runa I 1 way marriage with a man now in prison ... on the principle that one calamity will lead to another. ■ troubles never coming singly I She shook him by the shoulder. He stirred slightly, mumbled some- ' thing, then slumped again. Trembling with apprehension, she ran to an old-fashioned buffet or dresser that fitted in an alcove in the tiny entrance to the fiat. She prayed there might be brandy or Scotch there. There was a flagon of red wine beloved of Yvonne. With shaking fingers she drew the cork out poured a glassful, took it to him “Wake up. Drink this. It’ll do you good.” She put an arm about him, supporting him. He opened his eyes. They were very brown, with tiny flecks in them like sunshine makes in brackish pools when it filigrees through the branches and leaves of trees in the Autumn. His eyes looked vague, uncertain, now. as though he was ’ not at all sure of his surroundings, or what had happened. (To Be Continued) Copyright. 1131. King gutiuu Syndiou. too
