"LUXURY MODEUter

CHAPTER XXXVIII One night when Luana was a little late in coming from the hospital, Nancy and Jasper and dinner awaited her. The young couple whiled away the time by turning on the radio to hear the seven o’clock news. “The Berkeley reporter speaking ... giving highlights of today’s news from the press radio bureau of the . . They listened. After world events came local news. “Another break from the State prison has been successfully perpetrated early this morning but, through the vigilance of the guards, an even greater break has been prevented. Only two felons made their get-away, by sawing the bars of their cell. Prison authorities are puzzled at the slick escape of the polished defrauder of thousands of innocent Californian investors. Gerald Bruton has again lived up to his name of ‘Slippery.’ He and his cellmate made their get-away just before daybreak.” White-faced, Nancy and Jasper stared at each other. “We'll have to tell her. I hate to tell her. But what else can we do?” It came like a wail from Nancy. They had switched off the radio, and the Berkeley reporter, and his appalling news of the escape of Ger-

aid Bruton from San Quentin. Any minute, Elizabeth—now known as Luana—would walk in on them, happy in the recovery of her stepfather, happy in the glowing business future that awaited her in New York, happy in the love of Jimmy Randolph. She had told them all about Jimmy and her wonderful engagement to tl.e young man from Kentucky. » Jasper Bayne looked severely at his young bride. “Look here, Nancy, there’s no necessity whatever of telling her. You’re a thrill-seeker, that’s what you are!” “What on earth do you mean?” Nancy bristled like the proverbial porcupine. “Women can’t keep their mouths shut.” Jasper could come tersely to the point, at times. “But—it’s for her own good. Fore-warned’s forearmed. He’ll try to get in touch with her. He’ll want money. Protection. She married him, Jasper. She’s beautiful. Their honeymoon was interrupted. He—oh, heavens! can’t you understand? —his first idea’ll be to go through with the honeymoon he didn’t have 1 Don’t you realize that?” Now Jasper was no fool. He might lord it over Nancy, be the great I-AM with her, but in his heart he had a respect for feminine intuition, for the queer hit-the-nail-on-the-head of Feminine Logic. . . . The crook had risked plenty in marrying the girl — or going through a ceremony of marriage in Yuma. He believed, no doubt, that he had been defrauded at the last minute. Whether he had a legal wife had not much actual bearing on his attitude. The law meant nothing to him. Nor did social ties. His arrest had proved that. And his record, too. “He won’t come near San Francisco. He wouldn’t be such t prize fool.” “Where a woman's concerned,” said the wise young Nancy, “you simply can’t tell what a man will do. Particularly,” she added, meaningly, “a man who’s been shut away from women for a long stretch, as he has. Jasper, he was only out of prison a bare month before he met Elizabeth on the train coming from college, and he wasted no time in going through the marriage ceremony with her!” “That was largely your fault. You put the idea in her head. You planted it there.” “Because I was so crazy about you, darling.” Marriage and her belated comprehension of her love for Jasper had taught the heedless Nancy tact. He looked mollified. “Okay. Granted. But believe me, Gerald Bruton’s a tough bird. If, as you claim, he's going to try and get in touch with Elizabeth—otherwise Luana, though 1 can’t get used to calling her by her new name —l’d say it would be more out of a spirit of revenge than passion. You remember, she told us how callous he was to her after he was arrested in San Diego—he blamed her and her delay there for his arrest—he wanted to get clear across the bor-

der into Mexico, but she was tired i out after being up all night at the , Miramar, and then flying to Yuma. Personally”—Jasper lit a cigarette and blew a ring of smoke into the air—“l’d say his idea would be vendetta rather than lovemaking . . .” Which was a long speech for Jasper. It carried weight with Nancy. But she doubted its logic. “I think the first thing he’ll do is telephone the orange grove on Ventura Boulevard, just out of Hollywood.” “It’s closed. Old Martha went to stay with a married sister in Hermosa Beach when the Colonel came up here on strike-duty. Elizabeth —I mean Luana—told me so.” “He’ll try to trace her.” “He can't. She’s changed her name. She's faded out of the Californian picture.” “She got loads of publicity in New York. Why, in a very recent issue of the Sunday Examiner, in the American Weekly section, there was a full-length picture of her with that little monkey she’s so fond of.” “And under the photograph the name: ‘Luana Waters.’ Those good-looking blonde girls all have the same kind of looks. He wouldn’t recognize it if he saw it—which I doubt he would, in San Quentin,” averred the obstinate Jasper. “I

jr doubt if they’re even permitted to s see the Sunday papers.” i, Nancy remained unconvinced. "I think we ought to tell her, - Jasper. You think he wouldn’t v come near San Francisco, because of the people gunning for him 1 through his swindles, but I think - the man’s a desperado. I don’t mind i telling you now that I myself was attracted to him just through that t very dare-deviltry of his.” “Is—that—so?” said Jasper omi- ) nously. But if he expected Nancy to wilt, t he was disappointed. “I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if ’ the first thing he does, after calling 1 up her home and not finding a reply from it, is to look in the telephone s book for your name. He was with i us in an important moment of his life—no matter how hardened he . may be, he must remember it r “That scene at Yuma—how vilely t hot it was that morning—I remem--1 ber how he insisted on dodging the ■ news photographers—-he’ll remem- . ber us, Jasper—we were Elizabeth’s ’ friends—he’ll try to get in touch i with us and find out where she is.” ! “I differ,” slid Jasper, hating to give in, because his assumption of ■ superiority was his biggest asset ■ with Nancy. “He’ll clear right out i of the State of California. Mean- > time, I’ve an idea which would kill two birds simultaneously. Tomor- . row’s Admission Day, a legal holii day, and the bank will be closed. • Why shouldn’t the three of us drive down tonight to the shack at San Gregorio directly after dinner, stay ; the night and spend tomorrow there, loafing? I’d go fishing. By clearing out of town, Elizabeth won’t see tomorrow’s papers which undoubtedly will mention Bruton’s escape, and needlessly upset her. You two girls could pass a nice restful day on the beach.” “You’re a wonder,” Nancy exclaimed enthusiastically, rising to kiss him. She adored the little shack which they had got on the time-payment plan. The hundred dollars down had been a wedding present from an aunt of hers, and the twenty-a-month payments were made from their housekeeping budget. Week-ends they spent there, immensely happy and busy in fixing up the modest cabin. Jasper put up shelves and hooks and made cupboards and all kinds of convenient gadgets, splashing paint everywhere, very much the householder Nancy had raided the department and other stores for pots and pans and gaily colored dishes and glasses, and cutlery with red and green handles. They spent hours digging and planting and pruning in the little garden among the eucalyptus trees that swayed to the salty breezes of the ocean. As dear to them as the tiny apartment in San Francisco was Honeymoon Cottage on the Pacific. Luana walked in. A smiling Luana, ful! of apologies for having: f.tayed late at the hospital. The i Colonel was so much better that I they had h*en playing a game of I backgammon, she told them. ’

Q Should a man raise his hat when accepting a courtesy or extending one? A. Yes, alwaye. Trade In a Good Town—Decatur.

‘‘We're going to drive down to the i cottage at San Gregorio tonight,” sang Nancy. a “It’s a holiday at the bank tomorrow, and I’m just crazy to get in a good day’s fishing,” said Jasper. They urged her to come with them. When she demurred, they insisted. “Write a note now to the Colonel, telling him you’ll be over at the hospital tomorrow evening round half past eight.” She did so. They packed an overnight bag, leaving a message for the maid to cook tomorrow’s dinner for them at the flat. Then off in the coupi, with Jasper at the wheel, and Luana squashed happily between them, through the enchanting beauty of Golden Gate Park in the moonlight, out to the Skyline Road. Through tall, shimmering redwoods where the air had an aromatic tang, and then the sea came nearer, and the air grew salty. They passed Salada Beech, and Moss Beach, and Granada, and at the end of two hours’ driving were in San Gregorio, and just beyond on a little cliff that ran to the rocky edge of the ocean lay the Paynes' picturesque log-cabin. “It’s perfectly adorable!” exclaimed Luana as Jasper unpadlocked the heavy front door, switched on a lamp and they went

I inside. Nancy had made the one big room gay with chintzes, and there , was an inner kind of bunny-hutch t with a double bed and a chair in it ■ that they laughingly referred to as i “the master bedroom.” : “I sleep out here by the log-fire I on the divan,” said Jasper, as he i put a match to the eucalyptus logs : that were neatly piled in the enormous stone hearth. “I’m going to ■ make a cup of chocolate for you two girls, and after we’ve got warmed , up a bit, you can retire into the ‘master bedroom’ and no curtain- ! talks, for I’m going to turn in early, ■ so as to be up at six for halibut and ■ bass.” i “This is the real life,” Nancy i told Luana, her eyes shining. "oei fore I married Jasper I never re- ■ alized how silly, how utterly SILLY, the so-called Society round is, with • its eternal drinking and parties and getting pie-eyed. So utterly wasteful! Jasper and I have an infinitely better time down here over the weekends, and any other time we can get away to the cabin, fishing and swimming and hiking, and fixing the place up.” “Because you’re creating. You’re building. You’ve got something permanent,” Luana agreed. She thought how wonderful it would be if only Jimmy and she could create this warm hominess together, have a little place like this, with perhaps a chubby, rosy-cheeked baby in it after a time . . . The New York nightclubs, balls and race-meetings seemed like a meaningless dream to her. Here was happiness. Here was solid reality, no matter how humble the little shack was. In the alcove double bed. she slept with Nancy till eight o’clock next morning. She was awakened by the fragrant smell of coffee, and bacon and eggs frying on the shabby but serviceable little wood stove in the cabin. Nancy was up and was preparing breakfast, a rubber bungalow-apron in gay color over her sports suit, her dark curls rumpled ecstatically and her face shining. “Jasper was up and out two hours ago. It’s a divine morning. You can take a nice warm shower now that the wood-stove's going beautifully. Look, it connects with that pipe that runs to the rafters into that dizzylooking little water-tank!” “Don’t apologize to me for the primitiveness of the arrangements! I adore it! I’m madly jealous that you own such a darling Honeymoon Cottage. Nancv!” cried Luana, tumbling out of bed and through the chintz curtain into the livingroomcum - sleepingroom - cum - kitchen, where Nancy was busily wiping dishes at the sink. This end of the one big room was hung with gay little pots and pans and spoons and gadgets, like a Christmas tree, and on open shelves that Jasper had proudly painted : was set forth the cheap crockery iof multi-color dear to Nancy's j housekeeping heart.

CHAPTER XXXIX They had a long, lazy day on the beach, swimming, talking and picnicking. They ate the halibut and bass that Jasper caught, and discussed the merits of San Francisco and other places for living and working. Nancy said: “The San Francisco people are so rea-L One makes solid friends in San Francisco. People that stand by you, and you know exactly where you stand with them. They’re wonderful friends.” "They’re so hospitable,” Luana declared. “It’s different elsewhere, although one is invited to loads of parties, and there’s heaps of entertaining. it hasn’t anything solid , back of it. The only things that count are money and success.” At quarter of six they bade adieu to the cottage, and piled into the car. Two hours later, at the apartment, with dinner on the table, the little maid was telling Nancy that a man who wouldn’t leave his name had telephoned three times during the late afternoon, asking to speak with her. “What sort of a voice had he, Kate?" “Rough. Mumbling. It made me kind of nervous. He thought I was stalling, that you were really in the flat” Nancy and Jasper looked at each other, the same appalling suspicion in their minds. Could it... dare it... be Gerald Bruton, wanting news of their friend . . .? Twenty minutes later, the telephone rang again. Kate went to answer it. She came back and said it was the same man’s voice. Nancy went to the telephone, picked up the receiver. As she listened, her face went white as chalk; her hand shook. “Jasper, it’s he/ It’s Gerald Bruton!” Her hand over the receiver, her lips trembling with apprehension, Nancy faced her husband in the little telephone alcove in the hall of the apartment. “Good lord!” “He says it’s no good to say she isn't here, for he saw us come in just now—he saw her come in with us—he must be telephoning from the drug store on the corner, Jasper!” “He wants her to talk with him on the telephone? Or to see her? Which?” “Both. He says he has a claim on her, that she’s married to him. His voice was so queer and thick, Jasper. I imagine he’s been drinking.” “As long as he’s seen her with us, I’ll get Elizabeth to go on the ’phone. She’d better see what his game is. Then I’ll get in touch with the police." Nancy went back into the livingroom for Luana, and a moment or two later the two girls returned. Luana's face was deathly white as she stared at the receiver lying on its shelf in the hall. “I can’t—” she whispered, "Jasper, I can’t talk to him. I’m—afraid." “Nonsense!” He put his hand over the receiver. “Buck up! We re here with you. We’re right by you. Find out what he wants.” With shaking hand she took the ear-piece from him. “Hello.” She could hardly hear at first, his voice sounded so muffled. “Speak louder,” she faltered. In silence her friends watched her—heard her protest, “But I can't do it! I haven’t got a thousand dollars! I haven’t any money for you! It’s impossible, I tell you!” -Another lang silence, broken by a faint echo of the voice on the line. Jasper could stand her perturbation no longer. He interfered, puting his hand over the mouthpiece, so that Gerald Bruton might not hear him. "What does he want?” Luana’s blue eyes were swimming in tears. “He—he insists that he needs a thousand dollars for his get-away, Jasper. I’m terrified, and —and yet I think we should help

After the soil has thawed and dried, bake it in a hot oven to kill weed seeds and insects that may be lurking in the soil. Stow it away and mix with a little pulverized sheep manure and have it read to sift into the seed boxes when the time comes. These are details usually left until the last minute, but their preparation early in the season will go a long way towards making the raising of plants from seeds a success and will do away with the

him out He asks ms to meet him on the corset of Washington and Pierce street in a half hour from now, with the money —” “That’d be a criminal offense. The law is mighty hard on those who aid and abet felons,” warned Jasper. “You got off once, but for the lord’s sake don’t get into worse trouble! I’ll handle the situation. Nancy, take her back to the livingroom. I’ll see this thing through.” Swiftly, he hung up the receiver as the two girls moved away. A moment later, he was asking the operator to connect him immediately with police headquarters. "Get me Lieutenant-Detective Tim Murphy. This is his friend, Jasper Payne speaking. It’s very urgent.” His party came on the 'phone, and assured him that in a few minutes he would be over. Meantime, Gerald Bruton in his booth on the corner drug store was getting the “busy” sign. Again and again he triea to get the number, only to hear a loud, maddening buzzing on the line. So she had dared to cut him off? She was calling the police? Five minutes later his suspicion was confirmed. For in the distance, getting louder and nearer every second, he heard the siren of a police car and leaped to his feet in the booth, so that the tell-tale light went out, leaving him in darkness. The car whirled by the drug store and round the corner towards the Paynes’ apartment building. “The double-crossing ! 11l get her yet! I’ll make her pay for this!” the fugitive muttered, as he slipped from the booth and out by a side door in the opposite direction. • • • “Leave it to me, lady. I’ll have the appointment kept for you — where did you say the bird asked you to meet him?” Thus Detective Tim Murphy, to Luana. She shook her head. "I can’t remember.” Jasper said sharply: “On the corner of Washington and Pierce, a half-hour from now.” She stared piteously at the detective, then burst into tears. “No publicity about this young lady, Murphy,” said Jasper, patting Luana’s shoulder. “Remember, not a word to the reporters about her.” “Okay. Leave it to us, lady. He won’t bother you again. We'li have this place well watched.” When the man had gone. Jasper said slowly to Luana: “The best thing for you to do is get out of town. Get right back to New York at once. He can’t find you in New York.” “But—the Colonel? I can’t leave him. Oh, it seems cowardly—to run away—” “It’s the wisest procedure,” said Jasper, “suppose they do find him, you don’t want your name to be dragged into it. Think what a blow that would be to the Colonel!” “Just when he’s convalescing so nicely, a scandal would be terrible,” Nancy chimed in. Their hasty conference decided that Luana should board that night’s plane—a fast one for New York City, she would visit the hospital to see the Colonel, as promised, but tel] him that an unexpected development in her business venture had summoned her across the continent, and that she must leave immediately. “He'll suspect nothing. And you’ll be safe from this rascal, under your new name,” Jasper reassured her. "He’ll be back in prison soon.” Luana arrived at the Newark airport at four o’clock next afternoon. Mr. Vandaveer’s car was waiting for her. Tired and nervous as she was, that attention touched her. Reporters were at the airport. They recognized Luana and she was photographed as Lewis, the chauf feur, held the door of the limousine open for her. They drove off. She gave Lewis the address of the workroom over by the East River.

“ Pardon me, Madame,’’ said Lewis, “but Mr. Vandaveer’s particular instructions were to take you to 66A East 56th Street. He said to tell you he’ll be waiting you there. Madame.” Luana was mystified, but did not argue. She leaned back against the cushioned seat, her mind revolving the appalling happenings of last evening. From the airport in San Francisco, Jasper had telephoned police headquarters to find out whether Lieutenant Murphy had returned ? The detective himself came to the telephone. “Say, that bird’s a sharp one! He smelled a rat somewhere! He didn’t show up at Washington and Pierce, not he, he was too smart for that. My belief is he was watching the apartment and saw me go by in the police-car, vamoosing while the get-away was good!” Jasper had told this to Luana, urging her not to worry, that he would soon be caught. Photographs and descriptions of the escaped convict were all over San Francisco, and it was extremely unlikely that he would be able to get out of the city. Luana tried not to think about it now, tried to put her mind on the forthcoming opening of her dressmaking establishment Jimmy Randolph would soon be home. She would have Jimmy's support and encouragement. She would tell him about Gerald. There was nothing she wouldn't tell him about her past. “I was a fool not to confide in him, but he'll forgive me.” Love would bridge everything. Soon they would be married. The car drew up at a neat little four-story house between Madison and Park Avenue. There were lacecurtains at the windows, and gerapi-um-boxes, and a shir.y brass knocker on the newly-painted green door. Mr. Vandaveer himself opened the front door to her, greeting her kindly. She stepped into a small hallway and through open glass doors looked into a gray -carpeted salon that had spindle-legged golden chairs and small couches dotted about it. “How d’you like it, Luana? Our new business premises.” She breathed: “I’m—dazzled!” “As the bank was foreclosing the mortgage, I got this property cheap. For a song, really. Later, we can pull the old house down and build a really nice store. The location is excellent, and some day will be worth a lot of money.” “I’m delighted. I love the carpet. The furniture’s lovely.” From the salon, they went up to the second, third, and fourth floors. The fourth was the workroom. Tables and chairs and fixtures were ail in. “Tomorrow the girls can come over and get settled, but I wanted you to see it first,” he told her. She thanked him. She was enthusiastic. A small stair led upward from the workroom. “Come this way, Luana.” He unlocked the door at the top, and she found herself in the foyer of a charming little roof-apartment. “This is where you’ll live. I’ve had the penthouse fixed for you.” She hadn’t known there was a penthouse to the building. It was a charming little place, its main en-i trance being from the roof, and with' its own elevator. The same rich gray carpeting as in the shop was also here. The furniture was simpler, but in excellent taste. There was a studio-living-room, a good kitchen and bathroom, and a roomy bedroom. “Os course this goes under store expenses, so that I pay my share?” “That will be perfectly all right,” he told her, “but I thought it better to take advantage of this bargain, and you see you can live right here on the premises and keep an eye on everything.” (To Be Continued) Copyright King foaturoe Bjodlctu.
