CHAPTER XXV In Blondle's bedroom Lurline looked around in admiration. ■ Swell!" ahe exclaimed. “Like It?" asked Blondie. "I'm going to have my place done In silver and hlack—modern, you know," Lurline said, as lilondie left tlie room. Lurline walked over to the dressing table and started to freshen her make-up. Her eye caught Bloodie s jewel case, and, she looked around hastily to he sure she was in thcroom alone. She lifted the lid quickly and gasped in amazement at its contents. Hearing Blondle’s approach, she dropped the lid quickly. In the mirror Lurline saw Blondie enter with a bottle of champagne. "Come on!” "Sure,' said Lurline. "tiot a date?” "Nut mi the theatre ..." Blondie poured the drinks. As Ahc handed a glass to Lurline site 'held her wrist out for Lurline's inspection. 'You know where you hold me in the ballet?" she said. ". . . look Where your nails have been, every night." "1 know." said Lurline. glancing at the deep scratches. "I've hated you. I couldn’t help It, Blondie; I wanted to hurt you.' •'You thought I was seeing Lurry?" "Yes—you weren't, were you?. . . On your honor?" "On what’s left of my honor . . .” Lurline looked relieved. "You're Improved . . . you've developed . , . you talk like a lady.”

lout huskily, fur her voice was choked with emotion: "Lurline, let’s go mad! Forget it all! Drown our sorrows!" "sjurel" "Drink up! . . . they're all earning over. Heigh! Heigh!” "Funny kid!” exclaimed Lurline, looking at tier frankly. "You’re suffering. aren’t you? "Mug!" smiled lilondie, filling her glass. Again they raised the bubbling i ; , ■. s :i, . .!, i. but tbi-' iinie their eyes were Idled with tears. In less than an hour Blondie’s apartment was filled with peopletalking. shouting, singing, dancing, drinking—mostly drinking. Jazz kept things humming in the drawI ing room, in another room an ac- ■ ordian player pulled torch songs lout of his shining box for those who ! wanted to sing harmony. Corks ) popped continuously, and champagne flowed abundantly in an everlosing battle against unquenchable thirsts. It was a lilondie McClune cocktail party, and as such it was renowned. Lurline pulled Rlondle away from the piano where she was doing a solo number for the entertainment ol the restless crowd. "We’ll have to sober up for the show," Lurline said, drunkenly. as she got Blondie off in a corner. Something tells me 1 won’t be at the show tonight," replied Blondie. rubbing the back of her liapd across her forehead. "I'm going to take care of you, kid." said Lurline, thickly. Before Blondie could answer the maid Interrupted with a message thpt she was wanted on the telephone. "Who is it': ‘ asked Blondie "Better go—it may he Mr. Pratt," said Lurline. "No—he’s away duck shooting." "It's a man’s voice,” replied the

Lurline let'i go mad’ Forget U all. 1 Drou* our torrou'n!”

Lurline was eager to change the subject. "1 didn't know you really cared for him," said Blondie, ignoring Lurline's comment. "Who wouldn't care for him—you do. too. You can tell me ...” "You won’t slap my face, this time?" smiled Blondie, remembering "Of course not," scoffed Lurline. i "It's Just a rotten break . there’ll never be anyone else—listen, you may not believe me—but do you know—1 could marry Pratt!" "He’s done well by you ..." "I could marry him," Blondie reiterated. "Don’t kid yourself . . . ■* Blondie quickly produced a letter from the dressing table ‘ Head that! . . . And It’s signed 1 " As Lurline read the letter with little gasps of surprDe, the maid entered and called Blondie to the phone She picked up the extension in her bedroom. "Hello . . . Oh. hello, Paul . . . sure, come on over . . . sure, we’re on a binge . . . bring ’em all . . . Lurline's here now . . .yes, the orchestra, too . , . sure, all of 'em f. . . we’ll have a real party . . . hurry now, . . . goodbye." "That’s the Locke twins . . . they have a gang and they'll be right over,” explained Blondie. ".Swell,” said Lurline. Then, handing the letter to Blondie, she aald: "Why don't you marry him—it’s millions." "When I marry—It'll lie for love , . replied Blondie. seriously. ' "Oh, that's gone," said Lurline, with a little smile. "How?” ' "It Just walked out of the door— eli. kid?" Blondie covered her feelings by going to the dressing table and returning the letter to its drawer. Then ah* turned quickly and cried

maid "I can't make out the name — It sounded like Clark . . ." "Tell him to send up another case — two cases,” said Blondie. laughing. "What'll you bet it's a new bootlegger?" I II go—you can never tell about men." As Lurline left Blondie returned to the piano and her song. The crowd was rucking with laughter at her imitation of Garbo singing an American jazz song when Lurline grasped her arm. "Oh, Blondie’ . . . Something terrible lias happened!" she whispered in Blondie'a ear. . "It’s your Pa . . . he fell and hurt himself , . . he's culling for you." "What?" gasped Blondie, but she i hurried out with Lurline In the kitchen Blondie ordered the maid to bring their huts and coat# quickly. "We ll go out the back way," she said. They put on their wraps, running to the elevator. "Did you get the address?" asked Blondie. "Yes, 1 got . . . where's that elevator?” They shot down to the street and jumped Into u waiting taxi. Lurline called out the address. "Twenty dollars and pay all fines,” shouted Blondie. She was too stunned to talk. The shock of the news had partially swept away the effects of the champagne. Her Pa—her pal—surely nothing serious could happen to him, 'she thought, but that message . . . Her mind was In a whirl. She couldn't think clearly. She would have to pull herself together. Her mind raced on and on, but everything was so disconnected.. Would they never get there? (CONTINUED) PAgiyrlght. 1932, International pilm t»i vise Un,, Intj

RERUN, July 31 (UP)-President Paul von Hirndenhurg, Germany’s aged war hero and beloved peacetime leader, was critically ill today. The cabinet was summoned hurriedly fmm all parts of the nation. Tho rugged, 86-year old warrior, although weakened by months of serious illness, refused to bow his head to the enemy. He left his bed this morning, took a little nourishment and showed lively interest in his surroundings. Then he returned to bed, his doctors announced, “arwl entered a peaceful sleep.” For months he has suffered from a bladder com-

plaint.

He has shown complete mental clarity and until yesterday was able to receive the usual daily reports on the state of the nation. The public meanwhile went about its daily tasks, unaware that the national idol was gravely ill. The press has been ordered to publish no ex-

tras.

BERLIN, July 31 (UP)—The condition of President Paul Von Rindenburg is causing grave anxiety, it was said officially today. Many feared that the aged Field Marshal President, Germany’s greatest world war hero, a man regarded j as a unifying force of almost unimaginable strength, was dying. An unofficial source declared it possible that he would not survive the day. This, of course, was not confirmed in official quarters. I A few hours before the ministry of propaganda, denying that he was ser-' iously ill, said he was pursuing his normal activities at his estate at Neulieck in Bast Prussia, where he has spent most of his time f„ r many months in the interval of fare offic-

ial appearances.

He has lieen visile I by a physician each week, as his health is chronically

bad.

Hindenburg is 86 y. ar s old. He retired as a general in 19H, only to be recalled to the army irv Him an) | win j brilliant victories. He retire?l again, and was called by national demand to' reunite Germany as president in 1925. He served one seven year term, an! it was thought that his age would prevent his serving again. But he was told that his country needed him and' he was elected again in 1932 for a I term expiring April 10, 1939. He is revered in Germany. Even I the Nazis, who have flouted other leaders since Adolf Hitler in the early 1 pre-war days began his fight against ! what he thought the d( order of things, have K „ np „ llt ((f thejr way to show him difference.
