Chapter 25
CRUCIFYING CON8TANTIA
PATSY'S asssrtlos that ha traded
on his crippled body entirely In
furiated Mark. It was the first time
In his lite that his plea (or special
concessions had been brushed aside.
He became smilingly venomous. He
said
"Another thing that will prevent
you from ever amounting to any
thing Is the (act that yeu are un
educated. Such broad effects as you
get, yon get photographically yon
don't develop them by means ot a
cultured or even an Intelligent ob
servation. In short, you can only
mimic, you can't create "
"You'd better go and tell that to
the 'Watcher,' they printed a whole
column about my art being the only
creative "
It was the harassed dresBer who,
ten minutes later, managed to Inter
Tens. And even then no definite
truce was called until the door was
flung wide and a bunch ot young
men and women slithered Into the
dressing-room. With much flaunting
of bad language and many endear
ments, they jostled each other upon
the threshold and demanded the
company ot Patsy Raoul for the rest
ot the night.
Mark's excitement Increased. He
was not Impressed by tbe enamelled
costliness of the women, nor by tbe
over-confident bearing ot tbe men,
but he saw at last his avenues of
approach to a world that must be
made to take heed ot him.
"An, madams la ducbesse, I (eel
ao sorrow," Miss Raoul was apolo
gising. "But no, I asleep must go;
much late hours ee-nervate, not?"
She pointed derisively to Mark.
"But there, there Is a oree-atlve
artist whom can rest all the day.
As I cannotl"
The scented and bejewelled flock
turned Inquiringly. Mark lifted his
yes to those ot a dark-skinned,
atralght-backed -woman whose hair
was hidden under a sort ot bathing
cap ot gold brocade.
"My passports," he murmured, of
fering her the sketches.
She made a great deal ot noise
over them and her companions,
when she was persuaded to let them
share her raptures, made a great
deal more. A young woman whom
Mark recognised as the Duchess ot
Morthorlng flopped to the seat be
side him. She was more heavily
made up than Patsy Raoul and near
ly as thin.
"But you mitat be most deoompos
lsgly clever 1" she announced.
''These things ara simply decompos
Ingly good. You must draw me next
everybody always draws me and
then they draw Constantla " she
looked with malice at a short wo
man In a backless dress ot yellow.
"She'll pay you a lot but I shall
be far better advertisement tor you.
You must see that Isn't Patsy
Raoul quite too urgent, really T"
"She doesn't like me," said Mark.
'Do you. Miss Raoul? I think per
baps she's Jealous ot me."
"Take him away. Far," command
ad Miss Raoul with every sign ot
disgust.
Mark allowed himself to be taken.
There were more of the orew, ap
parently, outside In tbe passage.
"Hullo, Mark!"
Mark looked up from prodigious
labor with bis crutch for In spite
ot their sympathy and admiration
for him, none ot his friends seemed
to think It necessary to wait for him
or help him and discovered Leila.
"Hullo, Leila I As one country
cousin to another, where are these
grand ladles and gentlemen taking
us tot And who Is going to pay
for our drinks t"
"It's my party," vociferated the
ahort woman In yellow whom the
others called Constantla and treated
with a sort ot contemptuous toler
ance. "1 wish Miss Raoul could
have come but I've got Fan Rln and
her dancing partner and that eweot
boy out of 'Here's Hoping!' and
Mr. Lodoly Is a find. Bring your
friend along, Mr. Lodely, she looks
a sweet girl."
The lovely young duchess hooked
an arm round Mark. His crutch
(lipped perilously. He looked Into
. her fair face that had not In It one!
IRK LEGISLATORS
BARXUBflURO, Pa Jul II. (AP)
Doors to th newly-formed legis
lative league have been officially
lammed In the fnce ot the "beau
tlful lady lobbyist.
"I'm sick of feminine lobbyists,"
said State Representative Thomas
Wilson of McKean county, when the
fro up organised last night as a non
polMcal. non-partisan forum. "I
want them to stay away from my
chair and let me make up my own
feeble mind.
"I have notloed. he added, "that
It takes far longer for a good looking
woman to complete an Interview
than for a woman with half Che
number of teeth sh ought to
have."
Wilson found ready support and
women lobbyists beautiful or not
were banned.

glint of ctuuacter or courage, and
swore at hex Utterly for ber clumsl
ness. She twuleu her delight.
"Oh, I sisipir tingle for you! How
urgent K fesls to be sworn at In the

Mr, Lodely, whea my divorce Is
through, will yon marry me? I shan't
have a cent, ot course, because
Nortberlng Is going bankrupt di
rectly aftorwards, but you'll be mak
ing thousands and rlly I can dress
on very little."
A blond youth with red-rlmmed
eyes Interposed a witticism which
temporarily Incapacitated the en
tire company with the exception of
the hostess; she was trying to rope
In two slim, sequin-covered acrobats
who were just emerging from their
dressing-room.
"Now do come to my party. It's at
the Da Capo, Juat ask for Mrs.
Lewis J. Jacobson's table there'll
be a whole bunch of tbe loveliest
folks " The acrobats, who were
Russians, made exquisite gestures
ot non-undorstandlng, threw their
white dust-cloaks round them and
ran off In the direction of the wings.
"Coming, Leila?" smiled Mark.
"Coming, sweet girl?"
"I may come on later but I must
see Patsy Raoul. 1 want Barbara to
fix her house for her but "
Mark did not trouble to listen. A
man known as Freddy was pulling
Impatiently at him and he set him
self to traverse the space before
him. The blond Freddy was aa In
adequate a support as one might
have expected from his appearance
and Mark was relieved when he
hastened on In front and opened and
shut doors Instead. Mark't brow was
wet by the time he bad dragged blm
self out ot the theater and Into the
car which awaited them.
Nevertheless, ho was still smil
ing as they drove off at the tall ot
the festal procession. He was not
going to lose his temper except
when be could do It to dramatic
advantage. While Freddy and the
duchos. continued to besmear the
name and fame of Mrs. Lewis J.
Jacobson with mud the very car
that held them was, he gathered,
hers he tried to fix his mind upon
the next few hours. Irrltatlngly,
Leila's scarlet and gold floated be
fore his vision.
"I loathe tbe Da Capo, absolutely
loathe it," announced the duchess,
getting briskly out as the car drew
up before a portico outlined in small
blue lights. "You'll see to Mr. Lode
ly, Freddy darling? 'Cos I have to
try and find Biggies."
Freddy held the door of the car
and looked vaguely after ber.
"If you hate staying with me as
much ae I hate having you stay,"
said Mark, "we've got a lot in com
mon. Suppose we meet Inside?"
Freddy, releaood, bolted after the
duchoss and Mark took his time. By
Inside porter, cloakroom attendant
and page, he was eventually 'seen'
Into the club. The atmosphere of
Mrs. Jacobson's party had grown
more quarrelsome but more toler
able. The gold-capped woman was whis
pering to a beautiful young boy; she
bad dropped the sketches ot Patsy
Raoul under her chair. With care
Mark retrieved them and sitting
down outside the circle began to
draw upon their backs. He drew his
hostess, Constantla J. Jacobson;
drew her wrangling, drew her eat
ing, and finally, from memory, drew
ber blandishing the Russian acro
bats. He had so tar gone unob
served and when he had touched In
her thickness ot lips and nose he
signalled to a waiter and had a
chair placed Just behind his victim.
When he was settled upon It, be
touched her obese shoulder.
"I do wleh you'd buy these studies
ot Miss Raoul," he said as she
turned. "They're forty pounds each."
She laughed the halt-bitter, halt
simpering laugh ot the grossly rich.
"You certainly have a nerve! And
anyway, they were only twenty
hack In the thentsr."
"Ahl" smiled Mark. "But they've
doubled their value since then."
He lifted one a little so that she
could see what was upon Its back.
Ha saw a purplish red mount under
her powder, mount to the roots of
ber hair; her black eyes squinted
tor a second.
"Is that how I look to you?" she
muttered.
"Not really, no," Mark admitted.
"But you se,e, I happen to want
money and you happen to have It
And who are either t us to strug
gle against our fate?"

SCOTLAND YARD
IN MURDER CASE
LONDON, Jan. 13. ghostly
fog-shrouded dawn found Scotland
Yard's host of police relentlessly pur
suing Samuel Furnace today In the
most minute search London and the
surrounding territory ever have un
dergone In criminal annals.
He la sought as the slayer of his
friend, Walter Spatchett, whose body
was burned In such a manner that
murder at first was unsuspected and
the victim was identified as Furnace
himself.
Throughout the huge London eone
which contains a larger population
than any other equal area in the
world, officers In plain clothes con
ducted an almost microscopic exam
ination. They combed highways and byways.
They visited hotels, lodging houses.
Inns, roadhouses, coffee stalls, hos
pitals, and In some Instances private
dwellings.
Police, disguised In the nondescript
apparel of down-and-outs re mingled
with denizens of the underworld, lis
tening for a word which might guide
them to their quarry.
During seven days of search many
clues have ieen found, apparently

Furnace was a builder. On the
night of January a there was a fire
in his office workshop. When police

It was that of Furnace, and It was
Identified as such by friends and
relatives.

discovered tbe man had been shot
three times In such a manner that
the wounds could not have been self
inflicted. Then It developed Spafc
chett, a friend, of Furnace, had dis

hunt for Furnace began.

IN WIFE'S BEHALF
HARRESBURO, Pa., Jan. 13. (ff)
Business was momentarily halted Jn
the state senate yesterday as Gov
ernor Pinchot demanded and obtain
ed an apology for what he termed
"a dastardly attack" upon his wife.
With tbe fall of the gavel the gov
ernor requested an Immediate hear
ing to answer remarks Senator George
L. Reed of Harrlsburg directed at
Mrs. Pinchot In a speech Monday.
He told the senators the laws of
the state prevented him from taking
the punishment in his own hands.
"I cannot properly horsewhip a
senator, however much I desire to,
and however much the senator may
deserve It." he said.
The Reed remarks, expunged from
the senate records Immediately after
they were made, are "unqallfledly
false," the governor asserted.
"I demand that you require the
slanderer to produce his proof jr
make public reparation," he declared.
"The senate has disciplinary author
ity and power. The course which" Is
demanded of you by the good name
of the commonwealth should be clear
before you. I bid you good-day."
