THE LAND OF JAZZ
The willing o( Ray'i aaxophone
echoed In Barbara's ear u he
picked up the telephone receiver.
"Mrs. Ray Lawther there? Boa
ton calling."
Henderson, of count. Could she
be bothered speaking to him? As
she hesitated, fatally, clearly she
heard again the notes of the saxo
phone. Her eyes were thunder dark, lit
by sudden flash of Cury.
"Mrs. Ray Lowther Is speaking."
A moment's silence and then Hen
demon's voice.
"Barbara, dear. I'm rottenly mis
erable away from you. What do
you say to my coming back to New
York?"
A pause, then In a rush:
"Yes, come, Hendy. I want you.
She dropped the receiver. Straigh
tening herself she listened mechan
ically. It seemed the sound of Jazz
completely filled the room.
Suddenly she felt that she must
cet awar from It. She ran breath'
lefsly out of the apartment and
a moment later she found herself
In the wide entrance ball demand'
lng a taxi. The porter whistled for
one and when It arrived she gave
the driver Cora Trenton-Jones' ad
dress.
The cab rattled on down the
avenue while outside the wind
howled. She had passed almost Into
a state of coma when suddenly she
leaned forward, fear In her eyes.
For she had fancied she had heard
faintly the wail of a saxophone,
Ray took off his mask and wiped
his forehead. It was a golden mask,
designed especially for the Oolden
Symphony Eight, the Jazz band of
the Oolden Dollar club, latest and
smartest of New York's night clubs.
"These things are hot," he grum
bled. "If we didn't come out here
every now and then for a breath
of air. I'd suffocate."
"You're right there." said BiU
Foster, looking unusually rplump in
an evening suit of metal cloth with
purple satin facings, "but you've
- got to admit this crazy stunt has
been a success, rigging us up in
these golden tuxedos with masks
to hide our fatal beauty from the
public gaze. Every one's crazv to
learn who we are, whereas. If there
were no mystery about us, not a
soul would care."
"Boy. you've said It," the sousa
phonlst, a large, portly man, broke
In, "there ore the craziest stories
circulating. I heard, the other
nlht. that we were all sons of
prominent society folks million
aires mostly and that we wore
masks to save old family names
frcm eternal disgrace 1"
Thev laughed at that, as they sat
In a little anteroom during an Interval.
"How long do tou think we will
be able to keep It up?" asked the
violinist.
"Can't say." said Drams. "Per
sonally. I don't care how long they
keen It up. Suits me fine.
"Same here," muttered Ray un
der his breath.
. As a matter of fact one of the
chief inducements to his taking
this particular Job had lain In the
fact that they were to be masked.
A fashionable club was bound to be
freouented by Barbara's set; It was
likely that Barbara herself might
drop In occasionally and he pre
ferred to remain Incognito.
Three months now since the
night he had told Barbara of his
determination to leave her three
- months since he had lart set eyes
upon her. A hundred times had
he been on the point of phoning
her; a hundred times had he
passed by her home fearful, yet
eager, that she might suddenly ap
pear.
Those were the days when he felt
desperately lonely for her when
he doubled whether nnv rerognl
tlon in sacrificing her love. But
there ware compensations.
Standing with the boys on the
platform, BUI Foster would lean
across and whisper. "Come on.
Ray, lead us in one of your own.
we'll follow you."
And when, at the end, the
dancers would applaud, often up
roariouslyfor Ray's tunes were
sure-tire Jazz he would be repaid
by that thrill which comes from
acclaimed recognition of something
you have treated.
Ray had been sharing Bill
Foster's apartment since the break
with Barbara.
Now BUI arose from the lounge,
threw his cigarette on the floor
"Come on, fellows, we'd best be get
ting back."
Bill led the way and 1 as they
trouped back onto the stage the'
made a truly extraordinary and im
pressive sight. Their metal evening
suits glittered like beaten gold
under the brilliant electric lights;
their golden masks were comic and
bizarre, and their music was guar
anteed to make paraUzed man
get up and wiggle! Small wonder
the Oolden Dollar was packed from
theater closing time tlU dawn.
As for the club Itself. It was one
gasp of wonderment. Vivid golden
trimmings were set against a back
ground of rich royal purple; thou
sands of golden dollars were plas
tered everywher, on the celling,
on walls, on the backs of chairs.
Of course there was a cabaret
performance, twice nightly, the
artists being the foremost stars of
the day.
Ray did not usually pay much
attention to the performers but he
noticed one particular girl, who for
the past week had brought down
the biggest hand, was curiously
striking. Tall and willowy, her fea
tures were set In a lovely oval
face; her hair was magnificent, like
that of a thoroughbred, falling in
dark clouds on either side of her
face and caught up in a huge knot
behind. Her suppleness, length of
limb and rounded sllmness would
have fascinated the heart of a
sculptor. Ray found her an unde
niable pleasure. That is, from afar.
It had never occured to him to
cultivate her acquaintance, al
though the other fellows were top
pling over each -other to meet her
before she had been on the bin a
day. But he remained strangely
aloof.
Therefor, he was not a little
surprised when, early one morning,
she approached him.
"Mr. Lowther." she smiled witn
engaging charm, "would you think
me forward If I asked you to have
supner with me?" '
Not at all, I'd be delighted,"
Ray replied.
"I want to talk with you and
thought we might have a bite to
gether somewhere. That is. If you
haven't a date or a wife waiting
for you."
