WNU S.rlna CHAPTER X Continued He drew a long, deep, quivering breath. Well, he would have an ex planation of thla myttury If he bad to drag Meely by force Into the parlor car to face either her empty chair or her living counterpart! "Meely I" She turned with a bound and at eight of him, her dull face expressed aurprlte and pleature, "Well -of all thlngal Mr. Crelghton yet I Well, me, I'm that took hack, Mr. Crelghtonl Whnt brang you to New Tork over? Come on," ihe laid, mak ing room for him bostdu her, "and aet down here, aide by each ain't? My land'a aakeal" the exclaimed aa he obeyed her, "ain't you feelln' good, Mr. CrelghtonT You look that pale) Moat like a dead one! What alia yon, anyhow? Are you mebby car-tick? I got awful car tick goln'. Hut comln', I'm feelln' light good. I waa to New Tork over to look for a place. ' I'm a right good cooker and I heerd they paid god cooka In New Tork aa mucn aa live dollare week. With room and board yet I Bo I aaya to I'op, 1 aaya" She atopped abort, reached for a coat that waa crushed between her and tho window, slipped It on and atood op. "Come, Bt. Croix." the apoke naturally, "the game'a up of course. Let'a go hark to our chain If you're not emliarratacd to walk through thla train with my pompa dour I I thought thla the qulckeat, easiest way to make you aee how I do It I For I'm In the way of being a profetttonal actress, St. Croix, and make-up' It my atrongeat point." Iler countenance waa concerned and aympathettc aa, altttng oppotlte htm In the parlor car, ahe considered ble white-faced suffering. Waa ahe cruel, ahe wondered? Hut aurely, thla waa "coming to him" he deterved It I And yet he looked ao gliaatlyt Per hapa he might kill hlmtelf and It would be her fault I Well, would that be aa had aa what he had plotted to do to1 "Jleely Schwenckton"? It would Dot! "I'll tell you. St Croix, all about It If yoo want to know," the augi-cated la a troubled voice, her face almott aa pale aa hit own. "I'm aorry If I've hurt you terribly, but think how yoo were going to hurt me!" "Not you I the girl you pretended to be," he aald huskily. "And auch ft girt would not have been hurt I A girl like you can't Judge for one like Mce of the Schwenckton breed 1" "Better than yoa can. St Croix I Ton would have ruined her life for her!" "Not If ahe'd been what ahe aeemed!" he Inflated, hla voice low pitched and hoarse. "What ihe aeemed waa an Ignorant, etupld. but perfectly decent girl I And after the pitiful note Mr. Schwenck ton wrote yoa which you thought waa about me I It waa about hla daughter Nettle, who he knew waa In love with you. It waa ahe that acnt you that fudge." "How the h I yoo ever managed the devilish coup!" he exclaimed dot perately, "The queer thing, St,, Croix, waa that there watn't thing premeditat ed about It It all Just happened. I Just fell Into the thing atop hy step. I'll tell you. I'll begin with the molo. I knew that waa a -landmark for you I Bo I put flesh-colored court platter over It and powered the tpot with Bonn-colored powder." He atnred at her helplessly. "The big mlttnke you made, St Croix, waa In not knowing I waa the teacher of William I'cnn achool. Net tle Schwenckton watn't You had ua mixed. I waa the teacher; and I boarded at the Schwenckton farm." "Put but," he atammcrcd, "then Marvin helped you put thla thing over on mel" "Oh, dear, nof ne had nothing to do with It 1" "Do you ewear to me he didn't know who you were?" St. Croix demanded with Joaloue suspicion and resent ment "Well, he certainly did suspect me for a fraud and a blurt when he heard me teach United States geography I But he didn't know anything more about me than you did. Now, I'll tell you ALL) I've alwaya been mad to go on the stage or the terpen. I man aged to icrape together enough money to go to Parla to study dramatic art few months. Then I got a email part In an English repertoire company that played In the provinces and I earned enough to buy my passage to America, the only place, I was told, where acreen atara earned anything. It waa an awful risk, my coming here, I had ao little money. Hut I rena aured my anxloua parents by tolling them that If I got stranded I'd lend out an S 0 8 to the Cretghton fumtly. Meantime, aa Marvin haa Jilted me, Mother and Father decided there waa no obligation upon ua, now, to tell your family of my adventure and my ambition, until we tnw how 1 suc ceeded on the acreen, If at all 1" "Hut It haa aurely been understood all along, Sylvia, that I was eager to take Marvin's place". "There watn't any place to take, Bt Croix. Marvin may think, In his prldn, that he Jilted me hut the fuel of the case Is that I Jilted him first 1 never would hoar of marrying either of you I liut my poor parents needed your money so badly, they alwaya hoped I'd chonge my mind, and ao they never broke It to any of you that I'd backed out Well, I cume over to America In the utmost Ignorance of everything I ehnuld have known; rather expecting to take Hollywood by atorm I feeling quite condescend ing In offering my talents (which I myself greatly admired) to the Amer ican managnre; and not knowing that Hollywood waa three thousand miles from New York. Fortunately, I learned a few needful facta on the way over. My deck chair happened to be next to a young American wom an who had been a country teacher. 8 ho told me all about herself how ahe had gone over In June with the atudent-tent-her excursion and had met and fallen In love with a man on the ahlp, young college professor. Aa toon aa they'd landed at Plymouth, they'd gotten married, traveled alt m miner and were now on their way home. She told me the first thing she'd got to do when the got homo was to send In her resignation to the country achool ahe waa to have taught If she had not met her fate and gotten married. When she mentioned the atate, county and township where she waa to have taught I recognized them "You Made Love to That OH and Would Have Dtspolltd and Rav lihtd Her aa the address of the Crelghtona. Next thing I was telling her my story; and when ahe learned how little money I had, ahe waa appalled; and when ahe told me Hollywood waa three thousand miles from New York and that It took five daya and five hundred dollara to get there. I waa panlc atrlcken. So we fixed up a plot Her parents' home waa In Heading, Penn sylvania, and her husband and ahe were going there until hla college opened. She Invited me to go home with them and she would give me her normal achool diploma and lend me the use of her name, Amelia Schwenckton (now no longer her name), and I could go and appropri ate her achool for a few months, until I'd anved enough to go to Bollywood. "She waa really a young woman of quite a feverish Imagination, I do al lure you. Her Schwenckton relatives had never eocn ber (they're very dis tantly related) ao I could pasa myself off to them aa their cousin. The thing appealed to me not only aa a solution of my penniless predicament but aa a Jolly adventure, especially at I knew the achool waa In the neighborhood of the Crelghtons' hornet I'd have a chance, I thought to look them over without their knowing It "Of course, St Croix, I meant to make myself known to your family very soon. Hut I had not realized how difficult that was going to be. I got In deeper every day. And It wat such fun, I didn't want to give up my lark and my freedom and become Lady Sylvia I And It waa all auch a marvelous achool of acting for me; I wai proving to myself that I could act mastering that dlntect with Its extraordinary Inflections; and suc ceeding In taking you In, St Croix, to far beyond my highest hopes I "It wni when you were pointed out to me, St Croix, at that barn dance that the Idea first came to me to pass myself off to you aa a Pennsyl vonla Dutch girl for I thought It would give me auch a chance aa no girl had ever had before to lenrn to know my possible future husband 1" "I'm afraid," St. Croix murmured, "you think you learned to know hliu too well I" "I'm afraid, Bt Croix, I did 1" "Do you think It was fulr to take me mi ii wares like that)' "Why not?" Suddenly a new realisation came to htm that turned him a degree cold er than he already was. "Ilut If you were the teacher," he exclaimed, "why, then, It wni you that Marvin waa all the time seeing at that achoolhousel It waa to you my father paid Ave thou sand dollars to get away I My O d 1" "Yes, wasn't that a aprlghtly acenel That'a what I'm going to at your fa ther about. I ran home to England with that money to feed my etnrvlng parents. Now I'm going to make a clean breast of It all to your father and then If he'll let me l.orrow what I'va, still got of that five thousand, I'll go to Hollywood with It The only blot on my family escutcheon," she sighed, "Is my having taken thBt bribe from your father I Hut I needed It" "WH1 you tell me," demanded Bt Croix, frowning darkly, "la Marvin In love with your "I'm sure I don't know. lie never told me ao, the one time 1 met him unprofesalonally." "And you are perfectly confident, are you, that Marvin bad no suspicions at all aa to who you were?" "I funcy be had several suspicions. Oh, Bt Croix, (fa going to be awfully embarrassing, facing them all 1 Espe cially your awful father after my tak ing that money from him I It makea me ahuddcrl When we get there, Bt. Croix, let me walk In behind yoo, will you? and I promise to bring np a good, aolld rear In the procession! Oh, but I'm nervous about It I" "To aee you sitting there looking like Meely Schwenckton and talking straight English ! It's the d t knock out I've ever experienced 1" Bt Croix almost groaned. "Didn't I do the part to the lifer the amazingly appealed for applause. "Now I can go to Hollywood not only to offer Myself, but my Tlece aa well for I've written a scenario of this weird, wild escapade, St Croix, that they can't resist I You'll aee yourself In a 'movie' and find out Just bow Just what you're like!" "Sylvia!" He leaned forward and took her hand. (They had their end of the cor pretty much to themselves.) "Give op this Hollywood Idea! You know bow t love yoo "'How.'" she repeated thoughtfully, as she gently withdrew ber band. "Yes, I know 'how'." "Mut look here! You're not going to bold me to account for treating you like the creature you pretended to be!" "What sort of a creature waa I pretending to ber "You know what I mean, Sylvia V "Yet you made love to that crea ture 1 A man'a standards," ahe shook ber head over It "are certainly low T "They're high enough when It cornea to choosing a wife, 8ylvlar "Then let a woman'a standards be as high when choosing a husband V "You don't know life, my dear, or you wouldn't say such an Impossible thing! My own atandarda are far more fastidious than the averager "Gracious !" "If you'll marry me, m worship and reverence and adore you all my life long!" "My dear St Croix. I can't Imagine anything more uncomfortable than be ing 'reverenced' heavens I You've known Meely Bchwenckton much longer and better than you've known Cousin Sylvia and I'm afraid If yoa married me, you'd be far more likely to bully and browbeat the meek and lowly Meely than to ."worship, rev erence and adore' the Lady Sylvia I You're ao used to bullying me, I couldn't risk It r "You actually believe I could ever for a moment confound you wltli the stupid, vulgar girl you pretended to ber "You made love to that girl and would have despoiled and ravished herr He winced and looked shocked. "Please! Such words ou your lipti" "Bunk! Bosh! You would have done to her what you consider Inde cent even to speak of to me I Do you think I forget what you told her of your feelings, about your marriage? You aald to her- T will marry my cous in because I shall enjoy the prestige this marriage will give to me and to my children.' You weren't even hop. Ing for love In your marriage. That you would find outside of marriage with glrla like Meely Schwenckton I" "I hadn't seen you then, Bylvla!" "You were planning, fi marry one girt while you were trying your best to seduce another! And In the face of that, you dare to speak of marriage to mer "Yes! Because I love you! I was mad about 'Meely and you are ahe with Just the difference that turna de sire into worship 1" "I'm afraid, St Croix, that Marvin's repudiating me Is more to my taste I You aee, my dear cousin, I know too well how unchlvatroua you are to womanhood, how you dishonor It and ravage It 1" Again he winced and drew back. "I cannot bear," he frowned, disgust In hla eyes, "to hear such coarse lan guage on the lips of a glr! I respect I" (TO UK CONTINUED.)
