BEGUN HEBE TODAT n Diana Farwell’s mother overtalk of love between her daughter . schoolboy friend, she is fearful ihe will “go wrong” like her 5i5..... ..... Vivian, who ran away from home four years ago. So the mother hastens a marriage of Diana with Arthur Vance, some years older, a successful San Francisco lawyer. Diana Is only 18 and goes Into marriage believing “Arthur is so different from other men he will always be satisfied with merely spiritual love.” He respects her reserve, as a young girl's natural shyness, at first. Then, after many months of loveless wedded life, he tells her she has wrecked his life. Some time after her mother dies, Diana leaves Arthur and finds her long-lost sister. Vivian, living in a luxurious apartment, packing for a trip to New York. Diana arranges to rent a room at the home of Mrs. Burton, the widowed friend of Diana’s mother, and to go to Seton's School of Acting to prepare herself for the stage. After visiting Mrs. Burton, she returns to Vivian’s apartment. There she meets Jason Wlnterble, a friend of Vivian’s whom Diana thinks is to accompany her sister East. The first day at school she meets Beachy and Barbara Dean, two young girls In the dancing class, and "Mamzelle,” the temperamental dancing teacher. NOW pO WITH THE STOBT CHAPTER XXI SHERE followed an hour of voice work. Diana felt a wild desire to laugh at the ridiculous “raging rocks with shivering shocks" they chanted so seriously. It was weeks before she realized that these same stupid exercises were giving her a richness and depth of tone. She found that the director, an English actor with a marvelously pure voice, had a dignity and gentle kindness which outweighed his waistcoat with its row of purple buttons. He repaid her attention with a quiet smile, which sent her spirits soaring. After class she confided her admiration to the friendly Beachy, who answered, "Oh, sure, Standish is an old dear. But wait until you see Seton!” Beachy had shown signs of restlessness during the last hour. She ■wned and fidgeted. At the beginlg of the class with the famous isalek she moved her seat beside > of the boys. She called him, ictionately, "My Charles Ray.” >iana was atoused to hear that ral of the students went by the names of movie stars, whom they faintly resembled and deliberately imitated.

DIANA?

Daniels,” and a big girl whose unlovely features and awkward movements had in derision, won the title of “Pola Negri." Diana liked the good-natured readiness with which she responded to it. Not many months later she was to see that homely grin across the footlights in New York—a riot in musical comedy. . . . Beachy began a whispered conversation with her “Charles.” Klesalek, white haired and temperamental, had been glancing in their direction for some time before he said, “Miss Beachy, you may take the part of Clotilde.” She stared at him. “I don’t know it, Mr. Klesalek." “Very well. Read it then.” She came to the improvised stage, still frowning, and made her entrance through the doorway of two upturned chairs. The scene was was from “The Baron’s Wager.” A ridiculous fellow, whose wild hair had won the name of Trotzky, had the part of the Baron. Diana had been sitting by him. He was the most amazingly illiterate person she had even seen. He claimed, loudly, to be from the "movies.” His pronunciation was clipped and terrible. It was all he could do to read his lines. Everyone smiled as he stumbled to his place. Beachy looked him over, sulkily, and began, “I wish to Heaven I had someone to talk to.” Trotzky boomed, “Heaven has heard your prayer, madame.” Beachy shrugged and hastened on. “Gracious, a GENTLEMAN!” The grinnig class roared. Diana was amazed at the swiftness of the girl’s reaction. She threw her script on the floor. She stamped Aher foot. She screamed, “I won’t stand up here and be made a fool of.” Diana expected Klesalek to lift her up and throw her from the room. Instead, he waved the “Baron” to a seat and said kindly, "Come, come. Get hold of yourself, darling." "I WON’T.” “Run out in the court for awhile. And when you come back,” he added with emph- sis, “see that you behave

yourself. Dr. Ruthven and Miss Deane, same scene.” Beachy departed weeping. Diana looked at Trotzky. He took his humiliation lightly. She had yet to learn that only the COMMONPLACE was unforgiven here. Bab proved as talented as she was beautful. Her .voice was sweet and clear. She watched Klesalek, responded instantly, became sarcastic, yielding, an experienced woman of the world beneath his quick direction. He seemed gratified. While the class giggled and flirted about them, he went over and over the lines, patiently bringing out new shades of meaning. When they had finished he asked Diana to read the part. She felt the class hush to hear the “new girl,” and was painfully conscious of their critical eyes. She read the lines badly, stumbling over the unfamiliar words. Klesalek stopped her. “What is your name?” “Diana Vane.” He put one fine, white hand above her trembling one. “Diana! That’s a good name. I like that. Diana, forget that class out there.” She looked up, embarrassed. “I don’t understand . . “Forget them. Absolutely! Pretend that you and I are here alone. No one else. Just be yourself. Now! How do you like this work of mine? Are you willing to give yourself up to it? Body and soul?” All consciousness of the other? left her. “I want to,” she answered, meeting l*i burning blue gaze. He smiled and dropped her hand. The class floated back into her vision. “That was very good, I can work with you only as you forget your-

She was all over her tears. Diana had hoped she would ask her to eat lunch with her, but Beachy seemed too busy now to notice the lonely figure. And Bab had departed. Diana wished she had gone without lunch as she faced the small basement room, with its crowd of pupils, teachers, and one or two real actors. A smiling colored waiter led her to a small table, where another girl wa r . seated. Diana remembered seeing her in class. She was very fair with curly hair which stuck out around a childish face. “Well, how do you like it?" she smiled. “I love it.” “You’ll feel that way for a while, then there will come days when you think you can’t go on.

A contract calls for a year’s work including private lessons with Mr. Seton. He’s wonderful, but expensive. And I work for my tuition.” | “How can you work and go to school?” “You can do anything if you have to. I dance afternoons and evenings. I’m dog-tired sometimes, but after all it’s no harder on me than running around with some man every night. And I’ll get some place. You watch me.” Diana, looking at the determined little chin, realized that here was a difference from the girls she had known at boarding school. They dressed alike, rouged, flirted and discussed men, but under their sleek bobbed hair these girls had ambition. And it made them twice as interesting. Her new friend continued, “What do you think of the men?” “They’re all right,” Diana answered, warily. “I was interested in Dr. Ruthven, who took the part with Bab this morning. Why do they call him doctor?” "Oh, he was one before the war. Just ready to practice when he enlisted. He was shell shocked and gassed and in a hospital for several years. Some of his friends got him interested in this, but you can tell that there are times when he thinks it’s the bunk.” Diana looked at the table where he was sitting with some boys and he returned her glance with a half smile of interest. But the half hour with Shepherd Seton was the climax of her day. Here she found a magnetic person-

student and made him his. The restless class gave absolute attention. They relaxed. They sang. Diana felt as if an electric current were pouring into her body. Yet he spoke to her only once, criticising her breathing. Nothing escaped him. She left his room with every nerve tingling. Was half way to the street car before she came to earth. Then she stopped and saw in front of her the dingy window with its blue teapot. She smiled, condescendingly. “I wouldn’t go back for anything,” she asserted boldly. “I was just like you shut up in your dingy window. Now I’m alive. You don’t know what that means.” It looked more stupid than ever and she swept on. . . . But she found that the sight of the teapot had changed her mood. In spite of her bravado, Arthur entered her dream castle, and he seemed more real than the visions she had had. The wind chilled her through. By the time she reached Mrs. Burton’s her face was colorless. . . . (To Be Continued) NEW LOCOMOTIVE HERE Interurban Company to Exhibit Powerful Electric Type.

FIND CACHE OF ART TREASURES Pieces Valued at $150,000 Believed Stolen. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Fragile works of art in silver, gold, bronze and jade and tapestries were in the hands of the police today, the result of a search of an unoccupied room. The articles, valued at $150,000, were discovered carefully wrapped in moth balls in an old trunk. Detectives had been watching the room three days, suspecting it was headquarters for a gang of art thieves. Impatient at the delay, they broke down the door and found the valuables. Detectives believed the pieces,

which they said were stolen from the gallery of P. Jackson Higgs Aug. 2, 1926, and from the Fo Watt Company April 11, this year, could not be disposed of because they were too individual. Among the pieces were a small figure of Hercules attributed to Benvenuto Cellini, a Gobelin tapestry in gold and silver thread, “Adoration of the Magi,” by Mabuse, and numerous Chinese antiques. Police believe the works were stolen by men now in Sing Sing, who left them in care of friends. BRITISH BIRTHS FEWER England and Wales Record Lowest Rate of Their History.
