Beautiful JOAYNA MANNERS, clerk. Is summoned by HARKNESS. the buyer, to appear before her employer, Mr. Graydon, who delivers an overwhelming message. Someone whose identity she is not (o know has placed $1,000,000 on deposit at the Metropolitan Bank subject to her personal check. Graydon assures her “there are no strings tied to the proposition,’' and has his chauffeur take her to the banker. Andrew Eg-gelston, Graydon’s old friend. With SIO,OOO her first withdrawal. Joanna purchases an expensive outfit for herself and promises to buy some smart new clothes for GEORGIE. her chum. That evening, when Joanna hopes to talk confidentially with JOHN, her fiance, she finds also the eloquent FRANCIS BRANDON. her banker s nephew, waiting in the drawing room Sensing the situation. Brandon departs, after being assured of a later engagement. > Joanna promises to share her fortune with John, but he' will not believe her story and departs with utmost coldness. ~ Perplexed because John as well aa COHEN, the furrier, and even her landlady, MRS. ADAMS, now distrust her, Joanna goes to Graydon. He offers no advice, but hopes that John will apologize. Joanna suddenly realizes that only Brandon can show her the way to go. By H. L. Gates CHAPTER IX Joanna Answers Questions — RANDON watched the girl who sat opposite him, across the little table. The wraithlike smile —the smile that irritated while It taunted, hovered slyly at his lips, and in his eyes. The girl he watched breathed quickly, alertly, while she surveyed the bright scene around them. Her eyes leaped into far corners of the pink and gold hung room, In among the dancers and the other vis a vis tables like their own. Suddenly her glance met Brandon’s. She nodded at him ,as if she had surprised his reflections, whatever they were. “It was good of you to come,” Brandon murmured. “Presently it will not be such a simple matter to win a tete a tete front you.” "After a while, I hope, you will tell me what you know and I don't know, of what ‘presently’ is to be for me,” Joanna returned, the serious cloud which was never far absent, showing again in her face. “We shall have to make anew bargain,” he said. “That you will accept from me completely that I am only a spectator to your extraordinary circumstances. I shall he a part of them, only as you give me favor. What are you—?” “Please!” Joanna Interrupted. “Not now—not just yet! Os course a man always has a list of questions to put to any girl he is just getting acquainted with, at least that’s w.hat I’ve found, and your list is longer than most, I suppose. I’ve always had the answers—learned them by' heart, you know, but they won’t fit now. So I shall have to think when you start in. And I don’t want to think—-just yet. About myself, I mean.” She fell to looking about the room, again, eyes wandering restlessly, but shining with the inner' satisfactions of youth with its setting of the moment. * • * B'"| RANDON had come for her, ap they had agreed, In the wake of the flowers she had found, in their tissued box, awaiting her when she returned with Georgie from their gay round of shopping after, her visit to Graydon’s office. One of the blooms now clung to her waist. Brandon, as he eyed her, compared its delicate perfections with the more buoyant loveliness of its mistress —a loveliness still marred, he saw, by the too eleborately penciled eyebrows, the beaded lashes copied from a screen close-up, and lips that betrayed anew attempt at reserve, hut still were much toe /••• ••• ••• NM ••• •% 3 mi ••• | Gir % This | iGleamy, Thick, Wavy I i . • i Hair in a Moment j j. ... —i \ J / (jpf’'.

Cupid-like. They were accentuations that few would notice in the conglomerate company around them, but Brandon’s was an experienced taste. For their evening they had chosen the brightest of the fashionable rendezvous where names and distinction of some sort or other are held to be the only acceptable sesames. The women were beautiful and of the varied pattern that decorates the new age. Debutantes and matrons from the first families, nasalvoiced and red-throated women of the nouveau riche from the last families, and the ever inescapable bevy of njovie celebrities from none. Joanna had tasted of the gaudy Cabarets —they had been the lamp posts along her paths of gaiety. But here —here were women gowned by the master dressmakers of the day, artists of the world of the elect. And the men matched the women. She caught her breath at the originality of this thought—the men matched the women whose jeweled throats and ears shone velvet white against their black shoulders! And the music—soft exotic strains that laughed and sobbed their rhythmic ecstacies. Jazz, of course, but not the kind she had ever heard. A super-jazz thgt called to her wdth its melodies of lulling romance. Her feet w'ere still and her slender, warm pulsed little body was quiet, but her soul was dancing; the gleams in her deep brown eyes were dancing, and through her brain new.sensations danced. Brandon was wholly sensible of the little dramas that flitted across the eager face he eyed so curiously. “I would like to dance,” Joanna exclaimed, suddenly. “Shall we?” • * • E rose instantly and swept her into the maze on the floor. i__J Joanna observed that women, when they had looked Into Brandon’s face and recognized him, shifted their eyes quickly into her’s. What she saw In their glances puzzled her; she recognized something speculative, as if these women who knew the man whose arm encircled her and who danced as none of Joanna's partners danced, had a common curious regard for his unknown companion. She concluded, shrewd's?-, that women would profess to not like Brandon, but were secretly fascinated by him. She felt uneasy, again, and was glad when the encore finished. “Now the question,” she challenged him, abruptly, when he had held a light to her cigaret and then to his own. “But I Haven’t made a program of them,” he protested—once more his voice was like a caress. “I promise to combine them all into one, or, two, at most; and be content with whatever you conclude to tell me. What are you going to do? —that, of course, is the first one.” “And that’s longer than any list any man ever put to me,” she assured him. “Yesterday morning I ing If I could get along for two weeks’ salary. Tonight I'm wonderwent to my job at the store wondering where to begin to spend money. You see one of my plans—the first one I made, got all smashed up somehow, I don’t know how —hut It’s gone, anyhow.” Brandon probed deep. “That was a most interesting chap who waited for you last night—in the drawing room,” he ventured. “I wonder if the smash you have in mind came after I left you?” ♦ * • mOANNA looked out into the room, as if, in the brilliance of the scene to soothe her memory of the hours in the “draw1 V I Puzzle a Day To be in fashion a Florida tourist bought a, plot of land in the Everglades.

ing room only” after Brandon had gone. “Yes,” she admitted, quietly. “After you left. You see John was all that I had, the only one to share with. He dug a knife into me and twisted it around.” “That shouldn’t be serious.” Brandon observed. “Wounds of that sort are easily healed. He’ll jsqon be thinking better of his temper—and his suspicions.” "I am not so sure of that!” she returned, quickly. “He doesn’t understand me—it seems as if nobody does. But he was the only one who hurt. It would be easy to straighten out his mind, of course. But he couldn’t preach at me, any more. That would make him uncomfortable." “Was it. then, so serious? Is he so very necessary?” Joanna shot a quick glance at him. “I’ll not answer that now.” she said. “You said there was to be a second question—what is that one?” “You have already answered It,” he murmured. "It had to do with — John. I won't ask any more about him. I’m to be his rival, you know.” Brandon’s habit of saying this sort of thing so easily, worried Joanna. Any of her boys fumbled dreadfully when they attempted deft gallantries. “I believe you could look Into any woman’s eyes and say, ’I love you’ with a free conscience and without a quiver,” she challenged him. He laughed softly. “You will find few men, in your new career, who will hesitate with such a vow,” l.e replied. “And, I fancy, you will not be long learning how to meet all such emergencies.” “I shan’t fear the men,” she agreed. “It’s the women. I wonder how I can bring myself to measure up. You see, I realize that I shall have to learn a lot of new—well, learn a lot!” “I’d give most anything if you would finish your phrase—a lot of what?” “Tricks,” she confessed, laughing to him. “I could hold my own with Georgie—she'3 been rather a chum, you know —or with any of the rest. If they had anybody I wanted I usually landed them, If I tried, and they had to start -parly to get any one away from me—but now, well, T’m In for new competition now.” • • * — WOMAN, a young woman, A whose smooth black hair clung to a beautifully formed head, a woman with sombre black eyes that suggested twin flowers of night, hovered close to the table and paused. An observer would have thought that she had stopped, and was about to speak to one or the other of the pair at. the table. But she moved on, her slender hand fluttering at her escort’s sleeve. Only one who observed very closely would have detected the almost imperceptible signal that Brandon passed to her with a gesture of his cigaret. Joanna was not even conscious of the little tableau of an instant. Brandon kept her attention. “You think', then that your problems will have, to do mostly with—what you are r calling competition from your own sex? That implies that your plans, when they’ve formed, will be a conquest of men?” Joanna’s brow wrinkled. “That sounds as If I’d admitted something I .shouldn’t. Won’t you tell me what?” “But you haven’t.” he protested, earnestly. “What else should there be for you to plan—but to bring the moths to your candle-flame. Could there be anything more interesting for a girl so lovely and so free from care?” Joanna smiled Into his eyes, brightly. “There really Isn’t anything else to do, Is there? For a while I shall be just buying things. No one will tell me of any thing else to do with the money. And there are so many things to buy, I hardly know where to start in. I shall have to find someone, too. to help me. Georgie has been my best girl friend, but she’s too much like I am. All she can do Is to squeal. That’s a trick she developed until It’s become second nature to her. I imagine men like you, for example, require more efforts on the parts of a. girl than we could think of behind the silg counter.” • • • B"1 RANDON smiled with her. “You mustn’t class me as so different from the rest of ‘your boys’ as you call them. You have succeeded admirably In captivating me, without added wiles. And you can’t put me down as a plain fortune hunter, can you? You see, I have a famous banker sa a doting uncle and I’ve heaps of stocks and bonds and such things—so you are not to consider me as having set a trap for your millions.” “There—that’s what I mean,” Joanna flung at him. “I shall have to learn how to meet you and your kind when you say things like that. The best sort of talk I’ve ever had for a man who went right down into deep water was, ‘come In out of the

wet,’ or something like that. John has been the only one I could ever allow to talk seriously to me about —tVell, about my ever being married, you know.” N Mrandon caught the witfulness In her voice, the wistfulness that came into It at every mention of John. His lips curled again, ever so slightly. “You will have to listen to a great many men who will talk of marriag'e,” he said. ”1 think it Is better for you that you had your little smash, last night before you had plunged John will be waiting, when you are ready to call him —if you really want him.” A deep flush warmed Joanna’s face. Her eyes hardened. Brandon saw, but he had been deliberate. He met her eyes coolly. Before she could make her attack he disarmed her. , “I fancy that whoever bestowed a fortune upon you would prefer that you be uninfluenced in your spending of It —for a time, at any rate. That, though, is only my own conclusion. And I’m wondering if you will fit John into your new career as snugly as you fitted him into the one behind you.” Again Joanna surveyed the company around her while she considered what sort of reply to make. She realized that Brandon had been leading up to this—and she was unhappy before a doubt that he had succeeded in planting in her mind. Would John fit In? Now? Into this gay world of pleasure, joy, unrepression, to which she was being admitted? Could she, with him holding up for her the examples of his own old-fashioned ideals, exact from her new opportunities their full meed of the only things she knew to be worth while. She hated Brandon, fiercely, she concluded, for conjuring up the doubt. And hated him for the cunning with which he had stirred it. She was brought abruptly out of her reflections. The woman who had once at the table, had come up again. Joanna had not seen that quiet signal from B'andon’s cigaret which was Instantly caught at the nearby table where a woman sat with her escort, a man made much after the pattern of Brandon himself. Brandon rose and greeted the newcomer. Joanna looked up at her, startled by a sleek, perfectly assembled beauty that was as pungent as the essence of some heavy perfume. Brandon made his presentations easily. Joanna caught the softness of a foreign sounding name, and heard that Brandon called the stranger, “Yvonne.” Despite the pretenses. Joanna sensed, instinctively, that the meeting had been arranged. (Copyright, by H. L. Gates.) / (To Be Continued)
