Chapter 20 SURPRISE A FOOTMAN opened a door lead- leg off the great ball Into long room, full of soft lights and wonderful brocadei and dull glided furniture and mellow Italian pic tures, and roses roses roses everywhere! The room was empty. They had met some people when they arrived an elderly lady, very fashionable, relative of their host, an elderly man, and bis chic, ultra-modern daughter. Glad hoped to get some bints from that girl. "How lovely to be rich!" chanted Gladys to horself. as the footman shut the door behind her. "Mr. Al bery Is a lamb! 1 love blm! Girls on the stage often marry millionaires! 1 wonder If I shall?" The door opened again and a tall young man came In, smoking a clgaret and whistling light-heartedly. He bad rather thick features, which gave bis face a blurred ef fect, but he was very good-looking, and exuded tbat curious magnetism that no one can describe. His eyes were hazel, with green lights, very merry: his balr was light brown and thick, but fashionably plas tered: bis ears were big and stuck out from bis bead, whlcb was very broad on the top. His evening clothes bid their perfection under an air of belonging to blm. Gladys gave a little shriek. "Jimmy! Jimmy Smith! Here's bapplness!" The young man gave a quick, startled glance round the room; tben bis eyes came back to Olady's lovely little figure In the azure-blue frock that Laurie had made her. A dream of witchery, with her grey-blue eyes so deliberately Inviting his admira tion. This was like a fairy tale, to find ber boy here, tbe boy of the clgaret eaae, the boy who had taught ber to eat oysters in the grill of the Mid land Grand at Manchester, the boy of the streara-llned sporting car In which they bad skimmed over the roads like a long red-and-whlte bird! "What are you doing' here?" be asked. "Staying here, pet! Are you? I'm with my sister she's Mr. Al bery's secretary." "Staying bere!" He looked at her, and, with a quick movement, took her In his arms and kissed ber. "You're the same cuddlesome eutle!" he said teaslngly, and light ly pinched her ear. "But, listen, you mustn't know me hero I Don't ask questions! There's no time. My name's not Smltb. i can't explain now. Somebody may come In any minute. Vou don't know me. Glad understand? We've never met be fore. You're adorable, cutles, and I'll tell you later on. I'm Just the same, but I'm not Jimmy Smith. Now. there's somebody coming!" His Tolce fell to a whisper, as the door handle turned. "Don't play the fool, or you'll get us both In a hell of a mess!" TT was Mark Albery who came Into A the room, alone. He smiled at tbe two young people. His eyes did not fall to take In Glady'a spectacular loveliness, but It made no appeal to him. "So you've Introduced yourselves that's right!" lie had the careless ease of the born host, never worrying about bis guests, but making everybody feel at borne by showing that be expected tbem to. Gladys, who bad tbe Instinct of luxury In Its crudest form, looked at blm with flattering eyes, lost In an ecstatic adoration of bts sheer wealth. "1 hope my young friend Jimmy Dallas will amuse you, Miss Gladys," he said. "According to bis father, be only lives for pleasure. Sorry your people couldn't come tonight. Jimmy. An Important political meet ing at Cambridge, your father says. Well, he's the kind of a man the poor old country wants. Always puts duty first. There'll tie a few young people dropping In after dinner to dsnce. YouT have to mind your step with Miss Olsdrs she's a real dancer, and Is going to be famous some day." Gladys nearly burst out that Jimmy knew ibai quite well. She lust saved berself.

His name was not Smith; it was Dallas. He bad been playing the fool with ber In the North. And he didn't want their host to know that they'd met. Well, sbe wouldn't give the show away now. She'd wait and give him a piece of ber mind later on. Albery, who knew that Jimmy Dallas had been a great trouble to his father, a stern, narrow-minded moralist, with one of those Iron wills that must dominate his entire family and surroundings, was inclined to be sympathetic to the young man. Jimmy seemed to blm to be much the same as all those of bis class who had grown up In the post-war years of excess and brilliance of crisis and gloom. One couldn't expect those boys to drudge and slave as their fathers and grandfathers bad done, building up the great busi nesses tbat were pow crashing on every band. Working without respite, under crushing taxation and vexatious labor conditions, for a fu ture that nobody could foresee. But then Mark Albery was one of those rare men with the Midas touch, a gift from birth. And all bis life be bad had the remakable luck to be able to work and play as well. Be sides, be was absolutely non-moral; a man lacking In conscience. THE other guests came In. There were some people from the neighborhood, besides the bouse party, an equal number of men and women. Gladys sat 'beside tbe handsome elderly man with tbe very modern daughter. Her chatter, so uncon sciously egotistic, seemed to amuse him. She was a little Intoxicated by ber' success. She looked at Laurie, fur tber down tbe table. How quiet she was. Jimmy Dallas was beside her, but she bardly opened ber moutb. Something bad come over Laurie since her husband's return. She bad got kind of dull. Glad was almost asbamed of her sister tonight. She looked as If all this luxury and gaiety was too much for ber. That was certainly not the case. Laurie, who had brains snd char acter, and much more Imagination than her sister, was far better able to appreciate her surroundings and keep ber bead at the same time. But her three hours alone with Al bery, although they were working hours, bad filled her once again with that curious depression. And each time she met his eyes and be smiled In his friendly way, she felt that there was something deep In hie nature that she could never under stand. Also, she was wondering It Rex Moore were on his way back. "It's too hot to dance," said Jimmy Dallas to Gladys, some hours later. "I'm melting away. Come Into the garden!" He knew tbe place well, and led her across a big lawn, through a shrubbery, Into a wild garden. where azaleas and sweet-scented peonies In rich tints of rose and apricot and flame made an exquisite picture unoer ine moon. There was nobody there and Jimmy took ber In bis arms, squeez ing her tight, and covering ber smooth, peach-bloom face with kisses. "Klowerface, what a treat!" be murmured. "I never expected any thing Ilka this!" Flowerface! His sweet nickname for her! The girl looked Into his merry deceiver's eyes, trying to b e angry. What did you want to call your self Smith for, Jimmy? What was the game? Making a fool of me!" 'Darling, I couldn't help myself! Let me tell! My old governor Is a perfect terror. He didn't know 1 was up there at all. Nobody did. I was supposed to be somewhere else. If he'd got wind of It, that 1 was having fun with the sweetest little girl In the world, I'd never have beard the end of It." "You mean your father?" asked Gladys suspiciously. "But you're not so darned young you're not a kid!" "The governor thinks I am an In fant In arms! He wants me to do nothing but slave away at the bally old business. If he knew I'd been seeing something of you girls np there In Liverpool, he'd think I was beading straight for hell." "Thank you, Mr. Dallas. I'm quite respectable!" said Gladya furiously. Sweet, I'm trying to explain the old man to you! He belongs to an other age." "Still using a false name!" shi objected. He drew ber to him. (Copyright. l9Si. Coratte Btantonl Tomorrow, miki a pact.

The Jump In wheat values was gen eral, not only here but in mlnne apolls and Kansas City. Extreme top prices were touched in the last hour of trading, and were accompanied by dealings on an unusually broad scale. After the top limits were reached, trading was practically lim ited to profit-taking and moderate reactions were witnessed. A large wheat grower at Bismarck, N. D., reported that a combination of rust, "blight and heat had ruined most spring wheat In North Dakota.
