TWO IT wai not on that evening but the next that Mark Lodely gat In the Kovelty theater and watched Patsy Raoul. He tat at the back of the box, bis yea keen with excitement Down below on the stasis, bare esrcept for a table and a chair and a screen, Patsy Raoul, thin, plain, draped In greenish black, was being a whole dispensary full of women; all of them were under-nourished, some dandled Infants, one confessed to .being "nearly eb drunk as I was last Christmas." i : Patsy Raoul was also the dis penser, the nurse and the policeman who came In once to restore order and once to fetch the drunken wo man home because ber child bad Just been burned to death. . . "Doctor, yew'll 'ave ter Klmme a drop o' someflng ter me nerves aaow, woncher?" I Tt.en there was the crash of hand-clapping and the wondering murmur , that lifts a success to a sensation. Mark did not clap but he leaned forward, trying to will ber to look up. Bhe bad eyes for no one yet She nodded, curtly enough, to the packed house and then moved the screen, revealing a piano. She sat down to it and began to talk, to muse aloud to the lisping comment of the muslo. People began to mile; suddenly she was singing In French and smiles broadened, those irho could not understand ber show ing a rather more open appreciation than those wbo could. Then she sang, surprisingly true nd sweet, a little country Iove plalnt Mark peered at his pro gram and discovered that this waa a composition of her own. He had jpomenow thought It might be.' When she bad finished and taken her last call, he had to sit baok. She bad not looked up. He waited for the Interval, then summoned an at tendant. "I want to see Miss Raoul before he leaves the theater." "I could take your card, sir, but " 'That will be all right. She will aee me." He waited, smiling to himself, tapping a parcel with his long fingers. The next "turn" was over before the attendant returned with the message that Miss Raoul would see him. Even then he did not hurry. He adjusted bis crutch, bis rnrcnl idS himself with care. It waa fully ten minutes later, after an un flurrled Journey up and down stairs nd along passages In the wake of a sympathetic dresser, that he en tered Miss Raoul'a room. It held a good many people, none of whom paid him particular atten tion. He did not resent this he sank down on a couch and undid bis parcel. From the welter of con versation he gathered that amongst :those present were a woman writer, a man-dressmaker and an Individual in a bowler-hat who had come about a little matter that was to have been settled last Monday. On an opposite couch a man younger than Mark craned forward to see Miss Raoul and then huddled back again and drew trentledly what he had seen. Mark watched him without rancor, He was quite sure his work waa yery bad. After a reasonable time, as the criss-cross of talk showed no pros pect of abating, Mark dragged him self along the oouch, and, bending a little, swung his parcel neatly on to Miss Raoul'a table. It dis placed some Jars and bottles and the man-dressmaker turned to stare but Miss Raoul, still arguing with the bowler-hatted one, picked it up and mechanically began to nndo It Her screech of excitement when Mark's sketches of her lay open to her gaze, stamped her forever an artist For these were not carica tures, they did not display ber art but only herself, ber ugliness, her nnwomanllness. And yet tbey did not make her Just any ugly scare crow of a woman. She was magnify cently someone. Bhe pushed the admfrlng circle aside. JOAN.

Norton, crossed the plains in 1645, bringing bJs family to Oregon. "Go; Be awayl I have not money now, not anything. I am break. Which why should I checks write when I ha7e not any money?" There was a great deal of noise but she flapped the sketches In their faces and at last pushed the other artist bodily outside. "Me genius, you mlscree-atlonsl" she shouted, slam med the door upon them and came to sit upon the couch next to Mark. "They're better than anyone else's, so far. They're me. What are they appearing In 7" She had aban doned her "Jargon" without any ex planation, and Mark's surprised chuckle was tribute to her good sense. "D'you mean, what periodical? None. I've not offered them any where." , "You're giving thein to me, then?" "Oh dear nol If you want them you can buy them. I'm asking twenty pounds each for them." Miss Raoul, still in her make-up and her velvet leapt to her feet, swore that she would throw blm out after the others and eat down again beside him. "I can't pay you for a bit," she Informed him. "I really am broke." "Then you'd better borrow from someone. I'm broke, tool and, In any case, I made up my mind years ago I'd never be careless about money If I had a chance of making any." "I can't borrow. There's no ons left to borrow from. Unless I might get a fiver out of Farrell Armltage." "You'll do no such thing," said Mark sharply. "Ill do all the bor rowing from Armltage. He's mine." She relinquished the sketches abruptly, went back to ber dressing-table and stared at herself In the glass. "You're a bit above yourself, aren't you, Mr. Mark Lodely? Hon estly?" "I'm the usual temperamental artist Ask Armltage." "You can't pull that stuff with me I've got a temperament myself I What's behind you? What are you doing?" "Hating and loving." She clicked her fingers Impatient, ly. "Who? Why?" As he did not. re ply, she answered herself "One of the people you hate Is Farrell Armltage. I understand that Why do you take such a lot from blm, then?" "Perhaps because I rather think he's taking something from me." Mark had spoken on Impulse and because be liked the sound of the retort And certainly, a part of his mind, perceptively alert had toyed with the Idea that Armltage might be sentimentally Interested In Bar bara. v But It was an Idea barely worth weighing. It didn't really matter whether It had any foundation. Bar bara would never It was faintly ridiculous to think of Barbara, the patient homemaker, as deserting In favor of a monled life. A slow-moving, plodding, home-loving creature Barbara; an excellent type to settle down with, one day; a beauti ful background to lite. "What did you say?" he asked Miss Raoul. I said I'd back Farrell Armltage against you any day of the week It be has really made up his mind to anything. He knows how to work and you don't." Quite undisturbed Mark again In dicated the sketches. "There's work In those." "I'm not so sure that there is." Miss Raoul examined them anew. "They're good, I don't deny that, but In a way I'm an easy subject Just because I am such a froak. There'a a good deal more luck than Judgment about your work, so tar." This was a shrewd hit and secret ly Mark accepted It; but coming from Patsy Raoul It roused him to retaliation. "The same applies to your per formance tonlghtl" he retorted. "Your ugliness was a make-weight you railed oa 11 heavily In the sur gery sketch. You couldn't have held the stage three minutes with an or dinary pink and white kind ot countenance." "There's hard work behind It anyway!" Miss Raoul thumped the table. "You can't work Ilka I do,j haen't got the guts" "I haven't as healthy a body." "Never mind that you're the kind that won't work to your own ca pacity and you'll sit and make out It's the fault of being a cripple! You can't swing tbat pathetlo stuff on me any more than the temperament So donit try!" (Copyright. 1S$, Julia Cltt-Addams) Mark stint a ourlout ehtnot U torture bit hotttii, Monday.
