Chapter U
ENCOUNTER NO. 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.

O. 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!"
