SYNOPSIS Darnley Carfax, 20-year-old village beauty, was "driven from town" when a painting of her in a red bathing suit flamed vividly as a front cover of a national magazine It was the work of a noted young artist, Peter Orrick, who had visited relatives in Colby where Damley lived with her sturdy old grandfather. The latter stood by her throughout the storm of scandal and sent her to New York with his blessing. On arrival, she ran into a job in the big railroad station, posing for a photographer, Clyde Farrish, when his model, Marie, slipped and claimed she sprained an ankle. She saw Farrish strike a man called Gorse after a brief and cryptic exchange of words. Aquiver with excitement, she hurried to Orrick's studio where, while Peter is advising her, Adrian De Groot, an ace columnist, drops i in, and the trio went to lunch in a , nearby “celebrity cage." She again saw Lacey Goree who came to their table and swapped sarcasm with De Groot over Gorse's recent fistic clash with Farrish. Darnley gives her brief version of Clyde's hitting Gorse, much to the latter's chagrin. When Gorse left, Peter tells of the scandal caused by his painting of Darnley. De Groot remarks banteringly. “And now she’s dropped in to bold you responsible for her shattered life?" CHAPTER EIGHT A “The answer is no,” said Orrick. "Until now she didn't know that I knew she had been flayed from a pulpit She neglected to mention it Briefly, Miss Carfax is a square ’ shooter.” Darnley arose swiftly to her feet, I and her face was flushed. "That’s ’ why you were so queer when I eame | in! You thought I had eome to trade on that You thought I was going to be a nuisanee about HI i And so did you —you hippopotaI mus!” she burst out fiercely at De Groot. "I’m so ashamed 1 came to | your studio. Well, you ean bet the next ten years of your life I never eome again. And thanks for the lunch.” She pushed away from the table and almost ran from the crowded room. Diners stared after her and then directed their eyes toward the table she had just left. Peter Orrick was red to the ears. De Groot smiled as he remarked, "Blast me, Pete, if I don't do my bit to make her famous!” ... oa o a With the aid of a telephone directory. Darnley found the Wolfgang Model Agency. In the outer room waited a handsome but rather effeminate young man and two slender, blonde girls, obviously models. Darnley diffidently gave her name at the reception desk and asked to see Mr. Wolfgang. "Are you Mias Carfax?" asked the rrceptionist. "You'd better rush right in. Where have you been? The old man's been snatching oat hunks of hair.” Darnley cone-aled her astonishment as she passed through the doer into the private office, a room whose walls were quite covered with photographs of girts who had passed through Wolfgang’s hands to fame or notoriety. There were girls who had taken this read to Hollywood, the Foffies. to society marriages, to participation in gangster murders, to success upon the dramatie stage. It seemed that none of Wolfgang's protegees bogged down Into placid, -meventfu! Ihres. To a scientist, a sociologist, that room would have been a rich field for the study of beauty—to each of the scores of girls whose looked down upon you, beauty had done somethmg sensational. Beauty had set them apart, had prevented them from living nornml. natural Uvea. Adriaa Do Groot,

Marion Policeman Killed By Burqlars Pendleton, Jan. 2—(UPl—44tate police announced thia morning that two colored men have signed sworn statements accusing each other of slaying Marion policeman Chaney Boles. The fatal shooting occurred during a tavern burglary at Marion early yesterday. Slate police sergeant George Daugherty of the Pendleton bar-

writing a column about that room, had once referred to It as Wolfgang's Poison Garden, and the name had clung. Wolfgang took a gloomy delight In it and in its name. He would nod his Lisst-like mane. "In dis room iss a moo-scum of beauty. Is there goot love, sin, chealousy, noble sacrifice, devil’s meanness, gold-dig-ging, fait'fulness—all that is fine und all that is evil. All from beauty comes, yah. Gott help und guide the girl mit beauty!” Into this room Darnley stepped for the first time, not knowing that it was the ambition of every model in New York to have her photograph bung in that gallery. Behind a littered desk sat a little man with cherry cheeks and silver hair that concealed his ears. He appraised her swiftly. "A new one,” ho said softly. "Comes to Papa Wolgang, iaa it? What name?” “Darnley Carfax, M r. Wolfgang." "So-oo!” He drew out the word ominously. "The one who says she works for Wolfgang w’en she does not for Wolfgang work at ail! Isa erust! Isa cheek! Were all the day has you been, ch?" “1 thought, Mr. Wolfgang, that if I came to you with a job it might make it easier to get on your list.” "You do this job. You say you are one of Wolfgang’s girls. If you do not say it, you get ail the foe. If you say it, then Wolfgang takes his commission. Wass that so smart?" "I thought so,” said Darnley. Wolfgang nodded three separate times. "Maybe,” he murmured. “Maybe. We will see.” “I also posed for Mr. Orrick’s Motropolu cover,” said Darnley. "But that was just for fun—and to find out” "Ah, that iss it I theenk I see you before." He pounded the desk suddenly. "You will not again pose for the figure. It in nodt goot business. Do you hear?” “Yes, sir.” "You will io all t'ing be guide* by Wolfgang?” “Yes, sir.” “Os course you will not. You will make fools of yourself In your own way.” He stared at her gravely. "In your face iss a story,” he said, "las it goot story: iss it bad story, I do not see.” Suddenly he snapped al her, “Vote all day do you hide?” “I was seeing an acquaintance to get some information.” "Yah. Veil, I got information. It iss me you ask. Thia Clyde Farrish he telephone, he bellow, be moan. He want right off for you to pope. You vill go there quoeck.” “Thon you will accept me?" she asked. "Ve vill make to try you out Yea.” "And put me in your book?” "No. Nodt in the book, no. You do the pose, 1 do the theenk. Leaf your address at the desk. Also you will get a telephone.” “I must find a place to live,” Darnley told him. "1 don’t know how to go about it” "First you go do this chob,” said Wolfgang. "Tomorrow in the morning you vill eome here and thou ve Shftll SMe** The girl at the desk told Darnley bow to roach Farrtoh'a place of business, and ia twenty miautrn abe waa ascending ia the elevator to his floor.
