KING OF HEARTS
By EDNA ROBB WEBSTER
SYNOPSIS
Left destitute when her mother
dies, Lynn Uartel 1b forced to leave
private school and go to business.
Sho becomes a mannequin for
Dunnines, un exclusive Chicago
dress shop. Lynn has very low
friends as her training has placed
her on u higher social level than
her fellow-workors and her low
financial status treventH her .from
associating with her own set. Sho
hau olio triend, howover, in Su
saune, the Block girl, and Bhe
wished thoir tustos were more In
common. All in all, Lynn's life
was very lonely. Then one day, a
letter comes from her wealthy and
pampered cousin, '"Dotl" Merchon
inviting Lynn to New Orleans 'for
the Mardi Gras. With a light
heart and an inexpensive ward
robe, Lynn goes south. She re
ceives 'a hoarly welcome from her
Aunt Zola and "Doli." Lynn Is
given the room her mother had
whon a girl and her heart over
flows with gratitude and grief;
grief because it was she, and not
her mother, who returned to this
lovely home aftor so many yeara'
absence. Mrs, Bnrtol had given up
a lifo of luxury for love und com
parative poyerty. "Doti" takoB
Lynn around to moot her friends,
.tuck Thorpe is among the missing
and "Doti" Is disappointed. Al
though Jack had not proposed, it
has been understood since child
hood that, ho and "Doti" would
marry. Tho boys swarm uhout
Lynn, the vivacious newcomer in
thoir midst.' When Lynn finally
meets Jack hor henrt skips a
boat. He was everything "Doti"
had said and more. I alitor, dressing
for the masquerade, Lynn could
not forget IiIb dark eyes holding
Ihm'b in thoir depths, Tho carnival
thrills Lynn. Never had Rho seen
no much fanfare, color and happi
ness. Tho socially promlnont and
very eligible Dewey Condon shows
hor marked attention. "Doti"
prophesies that Dewoy will pre
sent Lynn with his "krewo" pip oT
Proteus, signifying serious Inten
tions. Lynn protests but "Doti"
oxplartia you aro obliged lo accept,
but can got out of tho difficulty
later with some tactful oxcuse.
CIUPTKIt XII
Tho dancing wius in progress
when they arrived at tho club, all
masked, to join the anonymous rev
elers, Lynn was caught tip and
drawn Irresistibly Into that Vortex
of gnyoty. It was Ihe beginning of
her complete social transformation,
lor she never could be quite, the
saiuo after that taste of the joyous,
carefree life which was (ho com
plete nnlltheBls of everything she
hint known.
Sho was claimed at once by in
sistent partners in astonishing ms
tunics, and delighted in tho
strange voices which spoke from
lips beneath mysterious masks.
Ilul the attitude of her third part
ner was more familiar as be claim
ed hor and swung through the
maze of dangling serpentine ami
fluttering confetti. The fulling
showers reminded her of Ihe snow
flakes which Vrobnbly were falling
at home at that moment, but there
was nothing ol.se lu the atmosphere
which surrounded her to let her
thoughts dwell for long "on that
remote place.
During the Intermission, her
partner took something from the
pocket of bis Houmn soldier's uni
form and held it toward her with
an nlwequlus bow. "To the fair
est guest of iTolens!" he said.
I.ynn mailed self consciously ns
she reeoguiited tho identity of (he
Jeweled pin the velvet-lined ease.
Doti s pronnoBiieations bad been
correct. Sire was being presented
with the treasured krewe pm of
Proteus, ttovetd by every girl In
the city.
"U'h lovely," she eclnlmed
brenthlessly,"but I shouldn't ac
cept it. Vm only a stranger here,
und you don't know mo at all,"
"Oh, don't 1?" laughed the Ro

man general. "I know you quite
enough to want to know you bet
tor. . This Is my first danco. I told
you I wouldn't dance until I founa
you, didn't 1?"
And Lynn knew that Dewey had
singled hor out from all those girls
he knew bo well, to honor with tho
gift of his krowe. She lot him pin
the little ornament on the bodico of
her gown, wondering how she might
escape from Kb significance, later.
For ono thing, she could not claim
that she had not known who he
was. Dewey Condon was one of
tho few men she did known iu
that strange assembly.
"Wo were too lata for tho tab
leaux," ho remarked, as they
danced again. "Did you see it'.'"
"No, wo were delayed so long by
traffic. I'm sorry to have missed it,
but Doti says that the tableaux of
Hex will bo oven more impressive"
"Is that so?" he laughed with
good humored defence of his own
krowe.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Lynn apolo-"
glzed hastily. "I didn't roalizo that
yours was a rival organization." .
"Well, the king is supreme. Long
llvo Kex, the king," ho saluted gay
ly. "How do you like our insane
celebration?"
"It's the most enchanting thing I
ever saw!"
"What else do you do up north,
besides trying to keop warm?" he
wanted to know. "I think I'll got
mo an ICskimo suit and explore
around there sometime"
"We don't live in igloos, in Chi
cago," she laughed.
"0)i, no? Then it could be worse,
t suppose, but 1 don't know bow
you endure it. I! 1 loft hero, I'd
rnthor go further south. I'd like
to lake you down into Guatemala
and Honduras, sometime That is
real enchantment."
"Doti told me you went to Cen
tral America every year. What an
adventure that would he!"
"Should you like that?" eagerly.
"I'd ndoro it. What do you do
down there?"
"Look over thousands of acres
of bananas, talk with phmtntlon
managers, draw new contracts and,
when tho business Is finished, I
usually explore Inlnnd somewhere
for glimpses of those, ruined an
cient Mayan cities that aro to be
found everywhere in tho Jungle.
How about going along on the next
trip? Make it our honeymoon," his
nrm drew her closer with ardent
insistence.
Lynn was dismayed. She did not
know whether to treat that as a
genuine proposal of marriage, or
accept It in the spirit of masquer
ade which surrounded them. Out
of tho obscurity of her drab lifo.
she had been whirled into such a
happy confusion or beauty and gay
ety; and now, on this first eve
ning, mi proposal from a stranger
who was ono of tho most eligible
men of the city's elite. It was
much too bewildering for her com
prehension. She smiled and prom
ised. "I'll think about it."
"Please do," his lips Insisted,
close to her face; and his hand
pressed hers for emphasis.
The music stopped. A tnll mnsk
rd figure approoohed them hur
riedly and bowed to Lynn. Ills
regal enstumo was lavishly decor
ated with hearts of all sixes, and
his mask was two red hearts
through which bis o.vob twinkled
dowq at her. "1 am the King of
Hearts, in quest of a fair lady, and
will be content with nothing less
than the moon." his smile flashed
beneath tho mask, and his voire
filled Lynn VitH an Involuntary
tremor of pleasure.
The ttomnu soldier retreated gra
ciously, nnd her royal partner took
her Into Ms arms, Lynn had danc
ed so little iu her youthful exper
ience that Mie hud oeen more than
a Utile apprehensive about trying
to tollow these youths who danc
ed away so many hours of thoir
lives as naturally as they slept
But she lost all trepidation as soon
OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1937.
as she hud gilded half the length
of the shining floor with the King
of Hearts. The Roman soldier
had been a pleasant partner, but
she discovered, that there could be
a vast difference even between two
men who had danced a great deal.
She felt like Unit mystic lady of
the heavens vhich her costume
personified, sailing through swift
clouds as she had seen her often,
carried on the bosom of the sky;
sorene and shining and supreme.
She felt detached from everything,
a remote part of the universe, con
scious only of a deep rhythm and
an exalted rapture which carried
her far above reality. Tho day and
the evening, and those first dances
had been like a beautiful dream;
but now, they receded Mnto i the
background like the Insignificant
prelude to a stirring throbbing
Bymphony. .
This was the climax of every
thing, this was tho theme and
meaning of the entire fantasy.
Lynn tried to believe she did not
know who he was this stranger
who held her bo possessively ftnd
bent his face to hers in the unity
of their rhythm. But her heart
told her. He did not speak while
they were dancing, and said little
more while they paused between
numbers.. He - remained through
two dances and said, when 'anoth
er claimed her for the next. "I'll
return soon. Don't run away
please." u
Later, she haw him dancing with
Doti, who was masquerading as a
gypsy, and Lynh folt a queer tight
ening of her throat as ff a hand of
fear had gripped her for a moment.
KHe bolougs to Doti," she reminded
herself severely, and Resolutely dis
missed. from hor mind the memory
of his nearness when he had danc
ed with her.
The short evoning passed all too
swiftly. Lynn was dancing again
with the King of Hearts when the
order was given to unmask. The
dancers stopped and obeyed in gay
contusion, Perhaps there was none
who did not know who was his
partner, but there followed a bab
ble of surprised exclamations and
greetings und compliments. Jack
smiled down into Lynn's eyes as
she lifted hor crescent mask of
silver.
"So! it was you. who danced so
divinely!"
"And you!" she retorted, feeling
flushed and guilty and helpless all
at once. "Where is Doti?"
"I don't know. Haven't seen her
for several dances. Did you havo u
good time?"
"Marvelous!"
He said bluntly, his glanre not
ing the krewe pin on her bodice,
"I seo you accomplished quito a
lot in ono evening."
"Ob " sho laughed, nnd flushed
again. "Dot! told mo not to refuse
if anyone offered me a pin. She
said 1 might deny afterward that
I knew who gave it to me."
"Hut you did know," he insisted
soberly, as If he were accusing hor
of that which ho disapproved; and
at the moment, Dewey approach
ed thorn.
"So ynn'ro tho scoundrel who
took away my moon lady!" ho be
rated .lack with good humor. "Well,
you can't have hor now. Pm tak
ing her on tho rest of her night
journey across the sky, so get thy
royal highness henco and look for
thy gypsy."
"Hut lotl expects Miss Tlartel to
go homo with us.," Jack objected.
"Isn't Miss Hartel old tmnugh to
bo ont at night without a iia
eron? I don't think she likes to
be herded around like a lost sheep.
You Just tell Dot! we'll ho seeln'
her, later." His charming smile
flashed for Lynn. "Shnll wo go?"
Her glance met Juck's tor n hav
ering inoment, then somo spark of
defiance prompted her lo say, "1
don't think Dolt will ndnd hot hav
ing mo with you, to make a crowd.
I promised to go homo 1vtth Mr.
Condon, nnd I think Doll expected
me to, Mr. Thorpe." ;
