His face bore the strain of a man who is doing his best to appear cheerful and nonchalant under adverse condi tions , “Are you Oliver M. Brunell?” she asked bluntly. Waterbury laughed, “Well, I seem to have his letter—” he an swered with guarded carelessness. “I suppose you're Brunell and Waterbury, too—and one of the names is your alias,’’ May went on thoughtfully. “Upon my soul, Car lotta was right—and you and Dan arc crooks!” Waterbury folded his arms and loooked at her in cold silence. “AU the things you told me about —your country house and your town house, and your trips to Europe— they were all lies, weren’t they?” May asked. His silence maddened her. “Weren’t they?” Her voice rose higher and higher, “Why don’t you tell the whole hotel about it?” Waterbury asked, laying bis hand heavily on her shoul der. “You don’t have to shout, do you?” May' flushed, and lowered her voice. “You just invented all that stuff, to make me think you were worth a million dollars, you cheat! You piker!" she said between clenched teeth. “You thought I had a lot of money , and you wanted to marry St— ’’ She broke off, trembling so violently that voice shook. And who told me you had a lot. of money? Who told me you were a walking gold mine?” Waterbury asked. There was a sting in the sneering smile he flashed at her. “You took mighty good care not to let me knbw how poor you were until you thought you’d landed me didn’t you?” He paused a moment and then went on. “But don’t kid yourself that you fooled me—l saw right through your little game from the very start,” he said cooly. “I knew you were down here fortune-hunting, lik many another widow who’s looking for a new meal-ticket! I’ve met your kind before. Mrs. Seymour— plenty of times!” May pulled herself together, men tally, before she spoke again. And v;hen she did, her voice was cur iously calm. It sounded tar away to her own ears. “How much chance have I to get my $14,000 back from you?” she asked. He stared at her. “Because I’ve just made up my mind to get ft, now, tonight—even if I have to go to the hotel detec tive about it,” she said simply. He caught her again by the shoul der, turning her toward him. “Look here, May, do you really believe all this tommy-rot that Car lotta’s been telling you?” he asked. She made no answer . and his grasp tightened on her soft shoulder. “Os course. I’ll admit that some of the stuff I told you was just ‘plain tales from the hills’,” lie said laughingly. “But every man dresses himself up a bit for the woman he loves. He,tells her things aren't strictly true about himself, just to appear more attractive in her eyes. 1 do have a house up in Pittsfield, as a matter of fact, but it’s mort gaged up to the hilt—” , He looked pleadingly at her, for an instant. > “You did the same thing, voip self, you know,” he continued. “You tried to make me think you had a lot more monsy than you really have. Now didn’t you?” May shooic his hand from her shoulder, "fv’uere is that check I gave you?” she asked, and there was ice in her voice. He shock his head, despairingly. “May, you’re going to regret this—” he began, but the dangerous glint in her eyes silenced him. “Where is that check of mine?” she asked again. “Now, I'm not fooling. Herbert Waterbury! Either you give, me back that mon ey of mine, or I’m going straight over to the desk for the house de tective!" Waterbary saw that she meant what she said. He rose heavily to his feet, leaning upon his gold-head ed cane. “It’s upstairs in my room, in a despatch box in the left-hand draw er of my dresser —if you want to know the exact spot,”’ he answered, flushing darkly. “Go up and get it!’.’ May com manded, looking at the clock above the door. “I’ll give you just five minutes.” He nodded, without looking at her. She watched him lurch toward the elevator, and disappear within its elaborate, grilled door, remember- i FOR HOME AND STABLE The extraordinary Borozone treatment for flesh wounds, cuts, sores, galls, burns and scalds is just as effective in the stable as in the home.

How handsome he had seemed to her then—how utter ly desirable as a prospective hus band ! “And he’s nothing but a crook!” she thought. “My stars! What queer men a woman does meet when she’s knocking around the world, alone!” She thought over the men she had met the last year: Waterbury, Dan Sprague, vicious young Jack Darn ley, Ulysses Forgan— But Ulyses was in a class by him self. “Why he’s so honest and so gen erous that he didn't even pay him self a commission when he sold my house for me!’ May thought. ‘When I get that money back. I must send him a check. 1 can’t let him do things for mq without being paid— ’ She realized then that ten min utes had passed, and Herbert had not returned. She waited Five more minutes crawled by. At last May got up and walked over to the room clerk. “Will you please call Mr. Water bury in 312 for me?” she asked. The dapper, young clerk, who looked like an ad for men’s clothing, shoved the telephone across the desk toward her. May called Room 3 12. There was no answer. Bewildered, May hung up the re ceiver, and walkid over to the ele vators. As she stood there, one of them descended, and several people stepped out. But Herbert was not among t hem. “Where can he be?” she asked cjo • a M S tS'ic’ C.jxJ A *| |Z| v\V /C« I |\n «p XJSc-X'.c, ■>W r <w> Are you Proud 1; ¥ of your watch 4 If not you should ffflt J2R-. own a “South ,W. ® Bend " 1 Then you will be # proud of its modern beauty and wonder ful accuracy.

Twenty minutes had gone by since he had left her, promising to be back in five minutes, “I guess I'll go up and see—” She stepped into the elevator, and got out at the third floor. The door of Room 312 stood open and the key hung from the lock. W ithin, every light was blazing. May went in, and stood in the cent er of the room, looking about her. Drawers stoo d open, a torn collar lay upon the floor, the end of a necktie hung over the edge of the wastebasket. But even then, what had happen ed did not dawn upon her— “ Tho gentleman who has this room—” May began. “He just left, ma’am,” the girl answered primly, “about a quarter of an hour ago—taking, if you ’please, even the silk shades from (USSHDAMHENHIJ " FOR SALE FOR SALE 186 acres of good cot ton land 1 1-2 miles west of Les lie.

In Bristol, England, where I come from *twas the same. ‘Of water pitchers they’d take, and bath towels—anything they could lay their hands on.” ’ She shook out a sheet, and began to make up the’bed, as she talked And May stood there, listening, be cause she was incapable of sane thought or action, for the time be ing—so dumbfounded was she by Herbert’s flight. “I don’t know how ’tis,” the maid went on, “But folks who wouldn't steal a pin's point from anybody, will take everything they can from ahotel, and think it’s all right! I’ve known ’em to steal the very forks and salt cellars from restaurant tables, or from their mornin’ break fast trays, Ma’am! And yet I've no doubt they calls themselves honest folk—” May shook her head. “A person who’d steal a towel from a hotel would commit another other sort of crime, I think.” she said slowly. “In fact, I know it—” Her eyes were on the maid’s red checked face, but she was speaking to herself. At last she know the truth about Waterbury; that he was not a gentleman and a millionaire, but the commonest sort of crook— a thief who would steal thousands of dollars from a widow with the same casual air that he would strip a hotel bedroom of its silk lamp shades, its towels, and bathmats— Even in his flight he had stopped to do that! Without being aware of how she had come there, she found herself presently outside the hotel. She was hurrying down the Boardwalk as if she were late to keep an ap pointment with someone—and yet there was not one soul in the gay resort whom she knew. They were all gone—her queer friends—Wa terbury, Dan, Carlotta, even Fran cie Lee. She stood beside the railing, look ing out at the sea. trying to think. What was she going to do, now? i She had almost no money—not more than three or four dollars that were in the bead purse dangling from her arm. She didn’t even know Water bury’s name, or where to find him. And'what use was there in trying to find him, anyway? She had sign ed her money over to him No court would convict him of robbing her. That was certain. No, she had been a fool. She had brought this thing upon herself! And here she was stripped of every penny she had—with nothing but the clothes she wore, and a few more on the hangers in her closet in the hotel. And think! Think of the bill she owed at the hotel—! May drew in her breath, gripped the railing with both her bare hands until her fingers were sore and bruised. But she felt no bodily pain. She began to cry—not with tears —but with the dreadful whimper of an animal that has been caught in a hidden trap. She stood there in the darkness, rocking back and forth in her agony. “I’m done for! I m done for!” she sobbed. (To Be Continued) WANTED WANTED—Every one to drink Flint Rock Ginger Ale for an appetizer—before and after meals. | 5c per bottle.

He is cast in the role of Walter Grenham, en gaged to marry Janet Livingstone (Aileen Pringle), who has accepted him conditionally—that he forget all about other women and settle down. Menjou does quiet down a bit— for a day or so, anyway—and then Betty King comes in and ruins ev erything. Betty is in love with her husband, but sees no reason why she cannot engage in a little inno cent flirtation with the personable Grenham. Os course, King and Janet fly off the handle, and for a time it looks like the end of a happy domestic life for the Kings and a case of “nothing doing” for Grenham so far as Janet is concern ed. But leave it to Menjou to wrig gle out of the precarious position Betty places him in through her thoughtless attentions.

How do you like your vampires— blond or brunette? for some unex plained reason, brunette actresses have always been associated with the vampire roles on both stage and screen. Possibly the brunette type appears more vampish than the blond. Oh, it is merely that the first vamp role was played by a brunette, and the precedent thus established. \t any rate, First National is of fering an innovation in vampires in its new picture, “Inez From Holly-> wood.” Anna Q.
