VANCE-TIMES Thril.sday, IVIarch 3rd, 1132 0 eel $ATflA4UNt LIN BUT SYNOPSIS Fresh from a French convent, Jo- celyn Marlowe returns to New York to her socially -elect :mother,. a relig- ious, ambitious woman, The girl is hurried into an engagement with the wealthy Felix Kent. Her father, Nick Sandal,surreptiously enters the girl's home one night. He tells her he used' to call her - Lynda .Sandal. The girl is torn by her desire to see life in the raw and to become part of her mother's society. Her father studies her surroundings. Lynda visits her father in hes dingy quarters. She finds four mien playing cards when she arrives, One of them, Jock Ayleward, her father :tells her, is 'like a son to him, but warns' the girl he is a trifler. Lynda pays a second visit to her father and jock takes her home, on the way stopping 'with her at an un- derworld cabaret. Jock asks her to dance. Jockinto a fight With a gang - ster n .. getsh aag- ster who intends on dancing with Lynda. He then takes Lynda home, Later she • mention Felix's name to Jock and Ayleward's face displays his demoniac hatred` of the millionaire. • jock .tells Lynda that Felix caused him to be sent to jail unjustly by fixing up his report ons a mine. Lynda says she doesn't. believe his story. She pays another visit to her father aitd goes to a cabaret with him and dances with Jock, who suddenly. stops and tells her he is going to take her right home. He had seen Felix dancing with another woman. Felix tells . Jocelyn that Jock is a worthless scamp. Later Lynda tells Jock she does not believe in his in- nocence but will try and find, thru Felix, some letters Jock claims will clear his name. Marcella finds her jewels stolen and hires a private detective who un- covers the mysterious prowl:ings of Lynda, without knowing who she is. Lynda suspects her father. Jocelyn decides' to marry Felix quickly and preparations for the wed- ding are made. She asks hini to tell her the combination of his safe, as a mark of his confidence in her. Armed with the combination and accompanied by Jock, Lynda enters Felix' office at night, abstracts the wanted papers from, his safe and throws. theni clown to Jock, evho is waiting below. Then she is captur- ed by the janitor and turned over to the police. Felix learns the next morning, in Washington, that a 'boy' had broken into his safe. Felix finds Lynda in a cell and demands of her the paper she took from his safe., Felix gets her out of jail but de- niands the papers she took and that silC: tell him where Jock can be found. She declines to do either. When they reach her home, Joce- 13,n dresses up in Lynda's clothes and. faces Felix, telling him she loves Jeck. Her mother conies in and fails to recognize Jocelyn, thinking her the girl who she thinks stole her jew- els. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "My god!" he' ejaculated in a stage voice which, however, ' Marcella in her frenzy found convincing. "Not Jocelyn? This—this woman—she's been trading on the likeness then, I lusenient, "Now you can get the drift, 'can't you? Now you can sec where you've landed? If you can't .per- suade your young man to give you back those papers, or if he' uses thern —I'll jail you both fora theft of jew- els. Think, my girl, stand still. Think hard. This is the last chance ybu niay have for clear ,calm thought:" She stood there in fact quite still, thinking. Aficara behind her, in the room all 'filled with her . own bridal flowers and gifts, her mother, wild- eyed and shaking, sat down as she' was bidden to ring for the police. Mary, who had answered another summons at the 'front door,came in. "I\Irs, 1:larlowe, there's a man—" "It's Catring., Bring him 'in," and as Mary began to speak again Mar- cella bent down again to the 'phone and set her long index finger into the dial. Her shoulder was turned: to- werd` the French doors while Felix, Lynda in his arias, stood carefully with his back to them; 'so no one, not even Mary who had withdrawn at once in some offense, saw the roan Whowas supposed 'to be Catriug as he came in to the room. He carne slowly, painfully, pro gressing from door to sofa and' along it, using its back for his support un- til he came up to Marcella and touch- ed her elbow. And as ,she looked up he laid a leather box upon' her knees. "1 have brought a wedding pres- ent for my daughter," announced Nick Sandal purringly, It was Marcella's terrible low cry that procured Jocelyn her release. 1 The cry, had so little of the human in it that Felix leaped and wheeled, forgetting everything but some' un- canny instinctive fear ' of beasts. Marcella had bent down close over the opened box and. was looking at her jewels. ' "They're all here," she • touched them with her fingers, "but they're wet." She trembled and her teeth chattered. "That's Julians blood." Jocelyn knelt before that- terrible figure. "Mother, don't. There's no blood. • Mother, please look up." "Touch them yourself, dear. i Put your hand on them. My husband killed him. The police will be coming: We must hide these. Julian . gave them to me. They were a gift. We were going away. They are n'iy trust. I'll put them behind an altar. They will be an offering. She got flip, holding the box against her breast, and went over to the shrine, All three of the scared watchers let her go. They watched her fold herself' in behind the leather doors, It was Felix Kent who took con- trol. "She's out of her wits," he said, "and must have a doctor." He turn- ed to Nick whose hollow eyes had lost their malice and were distracted With terror and remorse. "1 • don't know who you are, but since you brought about this condi- tion byea rather ill-advised return of missing property, you'd better be the one to go for ae doctor. 13ring him back here as quickly as you. can. This young lady has an important' engage- ment and must go out with me ,at once." "No, Felix." "Yes. I' -in afraid that it's' neces- sary. And in good time, probably, thanks to Catring, I see that I'll have some help if 1 should be driven to needing it. He directed her gate toward the eseefeeefeee "They're all . here," she s aid, fingering their jewels. found her at the police station. They gent alio word. T must take her back at once. Telephone for the police, Mrs, Marlowe, No time to lose.. It's dangerous to iiave her hero. She's, stolen my paper and your jewels, :Site's been Making use of an acci- tleetal resemblance, a remarkable one Rita Lynda's car he ve is pared fiercely, evert with a grimsort of'' am - a square hail, It seemed to her scared • eyes. to be filled with men, At •sight of. thein Nick went back a little to- ward the shining window, 'But Felix boldly advanced and filing °pee the glass doors: "I am Felix Kent, gentlemen. I' ani hi charge here. Mr. Catring has scut you? 'dor an arrest? Come right n, please., 1 array need help;" One of them did cook in obedient- ly, displaying a paper and a badge. "You are Felix Kent You're the man we're looking for then. A sum- mons from Chicago'. They want to see you there about some—evidence, An old case, Will you come with us now, and quietly, please." In thatsquare entrance hall after they had closed the tallglass doors Jocelyn saw him, standing among. them, turn back as though against his will to look at her. Site remembered another outline — noble, patient, proud. This outline of her bridegroom had rio such quality. Its narrow knave face was shrunken with pale hatred, with frustrated. passion, with lost vengeance. To escaPe that last ter- rible look, the- girl fell dovn before Nick Sandal and hid her face. He put his arms about her eager- ly. And Felix, with themen, went out A• strange day. A strange sad ev- ening. Marcella had gone into the sanctuary distracted by her memor- ies; she came out quite'serene,ia child whose memory is only of to -day and yesterday. She thought that Nick Sandal was her indulgent uncle and Jocelyn a friend to :love. They sent for a psychiatrist who promptly ordered her taken to a sani- tarium. She hardly knew that Dr. Bond had left, until Nick spoke to her: "Come over here, Lynda. Are you too tired?" He was seated on the small bro- caded sofa, curled up there painfully as she had seen hini on the sofa in his shabby room.' "I'm not tired. I'm afraid. "Afraid?" He winced, his swollen fingers paused in their task of filling his pipe. "Of me, dear? "Of what you are going to tell .me, Nick." "You'd rather I'd be quiet? Let it all go? You'd rather never know the truth?" "I'd .rather.. but of course I must listen. It's too late now. I'll listen, Nick. Only, do you love the?" "To my regret. It's because I was fool enough to let you trick me with those confounded eyes and ways of yours—those darling eyes and ways —yes, trick me into loving you, that I've done what I have done . and been the blasted fool I have been lately." "Lately?" "V"on think it's not such a recent development? Well it has been. Jock's . been living—lately—with a sort of . maniac.. I've been jeal- ous. -I've wanted you to myself. It was you I was trying to steal, when I came in here on that wet night and took the jewels.. There , now. Go back to your seat. I've got a pen- ance to gq through with now, Lynda." "I met yourthother in a California cafe, San Francisco. She was mak- ing the American grand tour. She got. separated from her party, lost. her chaperon. A man insulted her. I knocked him down.

Those wecl -cads were gcorgeous enough to feed a man's starvedniein- ory for gray years, to paint even a prison wall. " "I had to have more money. I got to gambling in earnest. I made en- ough at the: tables sometimes almost to satisfy even 'Cella., But of course 1 was uncertain, There wore other times when 1 .was cleaned' out' and she had to pawn or sell her treasures. That made her physically ill. To part with any bright thing she had hand- led—seemed to wither her. Her own colors would fade. She'd go gray like a steel knife. "Julian.

Lynda, you've seen those jew- els?„ She sat up straight, startlecl by 'the sharpness of this sodden question. "Your mother loved that man. But sometimes I've thought that if it hadn't been for that man's glorious possession—" "Was that his fortune, Nick?" "All : of it. Yes; and it wasn't rightly his.

"This ' is rotten for you, Lynda. Let's get it over. Your mother took, a lover and though him a better man than me.

I was no cripple in those days and I got the pistol away from him and r kill- ed him..". "Nick, what did they do to you?" "Arrested me of course.

More'than seventy, boys from Ottawa and Ottawa Valley points , competed for the Chateau Laurier cup and twenty-. five other prizes., All dogs were owned and driven . by boys or .girls under sixteen years of age.
