MC \ • CHAPTER 42 . \BY THE WAY,\ Peter said sud.- denjy, \we are invited to a party for Saturday Slight. Avis Js having a hot *sJtudio-W£frming, X suppose you would call it, and she commands our pres- ence.!* . A'-Uttlft frown shadowed Camilla's face for\ an instant. \I can't under- ..stand.why Avis took that large stu- dio when she does practically no painting.\ \I suppose because she can afford to do whatever she fancies. Just a whim., of the moment.\ \No doubt. But, even so, I wonder why she didn't take a place in the Craft building, since money is no obstacle. The apartments are ever so much nicer and more modern.\ . \She doesn't think so at all. I asked her the same question. She ..says the older building is ever jso much more artistic and has more at- mospheife. than the new. And you know,' her suite looks out on that little garden\ court with a window alcove from each room. I don't know but she's right, at that. Her furnish- ings- are ever so much more effective in those high ceilinged rooms than they would be in the low rooms of the Craft building, with narrow case- ments and shining new varnish. She has some gorgeous stuff.\ \Oh you've seen her apartment?\ \Of course, being her nearest neighbor, 1 had to pass inspection on it before she opened it to the public,\ he said'lightly. \She's going to have me do some things for her when I get time, too. First prospect, old girl, So you must be your sweetest to the new client. Remember, the customer is always right, whether she is or not.\ \Most of the time she isn't, but I'll do my best for the cause.\ Camilla smiled gallantly. A little se- cret fear clutched at her \heart—was It premonition or warning? But she^ quickly dismissed any • such depressing thoughts, in the ecstasy of that night with Peter. He was once again her gentle, adoring lover, who laughed delightedly at her quaint remarks and gestures, and told her how much he had accom- plished during the. three days since she had seen him. Neither of them referred again to the harsh words of their last meeting, and they each believed that the experience was erased as com- pletely as the day itself that had slipped into the past of countless yesterdays. She lay in his arms and heard the deep resonance of his voice with sweet content, lost her- self in his ardent kisses and dreamed again of'that happy day when they would be together forever. Camilla would\ have preferred to decline the invitation for Saturday evening, hut she recognized the ob- ligation as another of those -unpleas- ant duties which she would be called upon to meet many times in the course of her career as Peter's wife. Like him—she would have to serve his public...The more famous he be- came, the more public would be their private lives. But any duty became a pleasure when it involved being • Peter's wife, which position more women would envy her as he ad- vanced. Avis was one of the first of these. Camilla knew that. She never had been particularly fond of Avis Werth, and her very obvious per- sonal interest in Peter did not di- minish her aversion to tie other girl. It might be flattering to Peter to have other women adore him, but it did not make life more secure for Us -wife. Camilla told herself that such a condition should also be flattering to her—that' this man whom other women coveted had selected her from-them all, to cherish and honor for all his life. But that was just the trouble, exactly, her caution re- minded her. For all his life would probably be for a long time, and there Was always a chance—. The -studio party was a magnifi- cent-gesture to make an Impression upon each and every guest for a long time to come. Most of them be- ing, the kind who had grown im- mune to Impressions, It probably failed In that respect, with two ex- ceptions. And those two were the most Important targets at which Avis was aiming—so that was all right. One was Peter, for every woman who is in love will exert herself to the utmost to impress the man she loves. The other -was Camffla, who \I especially -want him to meet my ttncle. was much more accustomed to ex- pensive displays than Peter; but Avis especially wanted to Impress Camttla with the fact that she now held the advantage over her with respect to having money for anything she might wish to do. She did. Camilla Jjnew that although, she now felt financially secure about providing for herself, even that salary which she regarded as very good for a be- ginning was only a mite as compared to the cost of Avis' party. The guests were many and varied: Avis' own social group, art students and critics, established professionals, favorite models, tenants of both the Craft building and the Anney. They drifted in and out all the long eve- ning, danced, ate, drank and made merry, with the generous encourage- ment of the hostess and her bever- ages. For effect and approbation, she had selected several paintings and sculp- tured pieces from, the most distin- guished of her guests for a private exhibit. They added to the attrac- tions and assured her the approval of the leaders of her adopted profes- sion as a patron\ of the arts, at least. To a certain extent, her efforts linked the producers and the market, and one sale did actually culminate from the affair. Avis was stunning in wide-mesh black net, like delicate spider-webs that more revealed than concealed her white shoulders and molded form and net-clad ankles below the long, full skirt that left the line of her figure half way down to swirl in a clinging fullness as she fnoved gra- ciously among her guests. She held most of the time to Peter's arm, having taken possession of him as soon as she arrived and saying sweetly to Camilla, Tm sure you won't mind if I give Peter a little the better of this evening. He needs to know people—the kind of people who are here tonight, and I want to be sure he meets everyone and they remember who he Isi I want every- one to know you, too, but you al- ready know more of them than Peter does and after all, he is the one who has to make an impression with the right people, If he Is going to suc- ceed.\ She inclined her head toward a group across the room and low- ered her voice, \I especially want him to meet my uncle, Mr. Danforth, who Is one of the judging committee for the National exhibit. I'll intro- duce you later, my dear.\ As a matter of fact, she failed to do so, but Camilla gave no thought to it She was just as anxious for Peter to meet Mr. Danforth as Avis was. She smHed\ a. generous approval\! of her hostess* plans. \Of course, I want you to introduce Peter to everyone. I s there anything I can do to help you?\ \Indeed there is. Help everyone you know to get acquainted with everyone else. There's Terry over there,\ sho added significantly. \I know ho will bo delighted to see you again.\ Terry was delighted, and expressed his pleasure in no uncertain words and gestures. He took possession of Camilla much as Avi3 had done with Peter. Camilla wore a sheer frock of cherry red, with cut crystals for or- naments, and more eyes followed her about on Terry's arm than noticed Avis and Peter. But Avi3 gave no heed to that, if she noticed it at all. It was Peter's attention which she sought, and held throughout the evening. Except to those who knew he was married, sho made no reference to his wife, and Peter did not note the omission. He was gravely anxious to make that impression for which Avis was striv- ing, grateful to her for her unselfish interest and earnestly convinced that sho was doing him a very generous favor. Mr. Danforth was a solid little man with a handsome head and a._Van. Dyke beard, who Inspected Peter's height with evident approval and ap- peared to bo adequately impressed. Avis made sure that he would not forget Peter. \Uncle John, I want you to know Peter Anson,\ she explained dis- tinctly. \Ho is that favorite pupil of Professor Drake's, who finished Na- tional this year and is entering a piece in the Paris scholarship ex- hibit. I told you about him before.\ \You shouldn't tell him everything you know about me,\ Peter chided her with good humor. Danforth clasped his big hand firmly. \Yes indeed, it is a pleasure to know you, Mr. Anson. I look for- ward to seeing your work. Avis has spoken of you often, In fact, every time I have seen her recently,\ he laughed. His manner might have Im- plied that Peter was not a married man, and an object of Avis' affec- tions. But no one heeded that, and tho two men entered into an amiable discussion of sculpture, with an In- terested comment or two from Avis. She was clever enough not to stress too much her interest In Peter's ex- hibit entry — her objective was to have Peter himself impress his charming personality upon her rela- tive who would hold one of tho votes which should determine Peter's fu- ture career.

(Code No.) ^There's Always The Bridge' \I never wasi age-conscious be- fore. I'm 57. They said that •was too old. . ,. . So I didn't get the job.\ Even as he got off the ele- v a t o r, and came briskly across the room, the in- erasable stamp of his former profession was easily dis- guisuable. I had not hung around 'stage doors during my youth for nothing. j He had been I a n actor once, For a quarter of ; a century, up until seven years ago, he had heen a working mem- \ ber ol the profession. He had played with ithe late Richard Mansfield in '\Beau Brummell,\ and other pieces. \Ah there was an actor,\ he exulted. \Later I was with Thomas Shea in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.' His 'JekyU and Hyde* -was far infe- rior to Mansfieild's. A good sec- ond rate actor. I did a hit in vaudeville with him, too. But you know\—he smiled wanly— \you know what's happened to actors, in the past few years.\ He tossed his jBlne, artistic hands. He was a man of medium height, slim, with iron gray hair that curled back from his tem- ples in graceful little question marks. A silken muffler, the least frayed 'at the edges, was secured about his low white col- lar; his clothes, neatly pressed and tightly buttoned, looked like the clothes you get at stores that advertise men's garments for $14.95—marked down from ?18.50. His hat was gray felt, and pre- cisely set upon his head. When he removed his overcoat, the leaved edces were visible and one torn lapol was held together, by & hidden safety pin. His shoes- shoes that had known \better days —were lustrous. Neat—this man was neat _ as a pin—for all his reverses i n fortune. * * » Someone had sent him to me. BCe had hitch-ihiked up from Washington, a passenger, in the last few miles into Rochester, of a man who knew me. The motorist had told him to come to me. A guy -whose picture ap- pears i n the paper three times a week should bei an easy mark. The college boys who want you to help them through Michigan or Dartmouth or Northwestern are a cinch to duck. But an old actor, down on his luck, that's a different story. I suppose I'm. soft; gullible. Anyway, I listened. * * » It seemed a latnd company had been formed in East St, Louis. The old fellow '(I imagine they called him \Handsome in his youth; and since I neglected to. ask his name, '\Handsome\ will do for this purpose) and two, other fellows weire the promoters- It was a chiseling outfit. They took money under false, pretenses —embezzlement, the State called it—and all three were arrested, indicted. The other two, Hand- some said, went £ree. \They were cagey ones,\ he explained, with a swing of his handsome head. \Very cagey. I took the rap.\ He stopped, brought a frayed handkerchief, neatly folded, from the upper pocket of his coat, and touched it to his forehead. The room was uncommonly warm. \They gave ma five years,\ he went on. \I was stitching uppers in the prison shoe shop when a guard came arouind one day and told me to report in the bull pen. There were my papers. I had heen pardoned. The warden gave me a cigar, and ten dollars. I went out, determined to make a new man of myself. \I was on parole, of course. On parole you can't leave the state. I went across tihe border into Missouri, and they picked me up in Jefferson City;, I went baqk to stir for another year and six months. It was a good prison, as prisons go. The -warden was a real guy. He.put me in the record office, and I was going along good. I had a pal in the shoe shop, -who -was always hungry. Qne day they caught me slipping him some sweets from the officer's mess, and I went into the hole for a few days.\ \The hole?\ I inquired. \Yeah. The hole is solitary confinement. Not a nice place? Of course, there is one window. But it's high up, and very small. It is damp—sort of mouldy, down there. And bread and water isn't the best'dish in the world. You get kind of tired of it, after the first day. But that's better than hanging to the bar.\ I had never heard of hanging to the bar. That sounded .like a torture of the Inquisition. My caller explained: \They hang you to the bar when you're real tough. Of course, you don't really hang. They simply chain your hands and feet to an upright and you stand like that from 6 in the morning untifc 12 noon. ' Then you go backigfrom 1 -until 4. After that it'll solitary, till the next day. T9ee or iour days of that and tat toughest of 'em are ready to«ry, 'Uncle.' But they don't ha||» you to the bar for .stealing sWeets from the of- ficers' mess.\ He had been out several weeks, when I saw him. He had tried one job after another, and had been out-bid by youth. Some- one told him to go to Washing- ton, where there might be work in the Federal Department of Public Works. He had a friend who knew a man in the Capital; he had one of those letters that men, these days, carry around in the inside pockets of their coats until the paper tears at the creases and the writing is smudged by the thumb marks of the many men to whom it has been submitted. But down in Washington the man of 57 is the forgotten man. \Too old,\ they told him. afier several days of eager, - -oful waiting. \You're too c'. . He had left t_„ -Jipital for the broad highway. Back in Chicago, from where he had come, there still might be a chance. Tm telling you- the truth, \he said, \I'm hungry.\ He made a slight jingling sound in a trous- ers pocket. \Tve got exactly nine .cents. Just nine cents. I've got a poem I'd like to sell, but I know you're not the one to buy it.. I'm on my way, to Chicago. What I came to you for is a grub stake.\ _ \And -what are you going to do if you don't make it in Chicago?\ I asked. He shrugged his shoulders. \There's just one thing to do.\ He leaned over and -whispered, as though revealing a shameful secret. \There's the bridge, you know. There's always the bridge,\ \That's a silly way to talk, I told him trying to simulate outrage. \Perfectly silly ...\ \Yes he said slowly, \silly. I know. Have you ever been really hungry? Really with your back against the wall? When all ways—north, south, east and -west—offer an impenetrable bar- rier? Silly\—his voice trailed off, died. I got two bucks for him. X had to horrow it. Pay day was still a day away. I thought, after he had gone, what an absurd gesture, giving* a crook money, When so many honest men are hungry. But an old line of the Apostle Paul came \ to mind. Remember, Paul wrote to the Galatians: \Brethren if a man be over- taken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; consider- ing thyself, lest thou be tempted.\ Out on the roads an old guy was hitch-hiking for Chicago,- for a job that \might\ await Then I remembered that i n case of fail- lire, he had said, \There's always the bridge.\ patient in Hepburn hospital, is gaining nicely.
