rrfc.tn TfTfß FIRST:
It t« the year 1932, and Roper
Scarlett, pood.looking, substantial
bachelor of about thirty-five, with
his niece. Esther, a young and at
tractive sceeiitrcn-ycar-olrl, are at
tending a night dab show in New
York, accompanied by Dick Stoddard,
a brother officer from the tear days,
and hi* girl friend, Kay Gardner, a
rather sophisticated woman of thirty.
As they sit listening to the entertain
ment a woman entertainer, bitted as
"Pre-war I.ady", comes out to sing.
She is golden-haired, beautiful, is
clad in the dress of a young girl of
the year t9!B, and wears a mask.
Both men are xisibly moved by her
appearance and declare she is like
tomaone they used to know.
[NOW GO OS WITH THE STORY]
CHAPTER 2
KAT LEANED back and laughed.
“Yeah, it’s funny," said Dick, dan
gerously near anger. "It’s so funny
ws’vo been laughing ever since. We
bolteved all that and more ...” he
drew a long, sobbing breath—“and
■ay God, it was comfortable!"
"Own up. Dick, what tragedy does
she recall?" Instated Kay.
Dick never treated Kay with any
particular politeness: she didn't want
U. Now h« rounded on her.
“If you will have it, yes. A girl
in the war. Roger knew her, too."
“Roger T'
“Yes,” Roger said with a touch of
withdrawal.
“Good God, she's her Image!”
“Yes," said Roger briefly again.
Dick went hurriedly on, gulping
his sauterne and refilling the glass.
“Well ... of course Emilia wouldn’t
look like that at alt now, she’d be
fashionably gaunt, her face would be
older and tlreder.”
“They have to try harder to keep
up." Kay said with a cool smile.
"Poor devils . . . who 1/xia your
Emilia?”
Her words dropped, as always, tele
graphically, neutrally. She was
secretly angry.
Roger answered her, still with his
touch of grand seigneur. She eyed
Roger's fine bulk and height and
wondered . . . could she play him oft
against Dick? Dick deserved some
thing. . . .
“My distant cousin. Her people’s
place on the river is was next
mine.”
“But 1 wonder who this girl Is,”
Dick resumed.
“She might be some hard-up Ger
man HocktcoMgeborew with a cour
tesy title.” suggested Roger, detached
again, and pleasantly the host “Kay.
you'll have some more wine?”
But Kay was not going to let him
slip casually away from it so. She
remembered something. The ac
quaintance of Roger Scarlett with
the manager of this string of caba
rets. If the woman herself, shoddy,
shabby, not in first youth, could be
got down here for Dick to see. it
would peel the gilt off the ginger
• bread for Dick, she knew —Dick, for
the minute in chains to a girl and
a day she had never known.
“Dick said you thought you knew
the man who runs this place,” she
said. “Have him 'round. Roger, and
let's meet the Masked Marvel.”
It was perfectly clear that Roger
did not want to do anything of the
kind. Did he too. want to go on
pretending she was the vision of that
dream-Emtlla ? Emilia, who stood for
everything bright and innocent and
believing in a world Kay could set
no foot in? Then all the more reason
for forcing It through. The demur of
a host « hoM courtesy is old-fashioned
and Ingrained mutt needs break un

der the aeilberaie pressure stay
knew how to put on It She made the
refusal as close as possible to the
price of a scene, quite coolly. “Oh.
then, we’ll go— No, 1 can go back
by myself—"
Roger penciled a note, which she
took care to dictate, and gave it to
one of the harried waiters. His cour
tesy had become quietly hard, but
Kay did not inind in the least Men
forgot easily, if you smoothed them
down a bit. She smiled at him with
bright gratitude, and gave his coat
sleeve a little squeeze.
“What’s the manager's name?” she
said confidentially. “Where did you
And him?"
"I knew him in France,” Roger an
swered politely. She had not yet
learned that she would never get
nearer than this to Roger again.
Dick stared at the card.
“Mr. Manuel Rose—by Jove. Roger,
not sulky Manny Rosen, that used to
be razzed by the boys to make him
lose his temper and shriek at them
that he'd be a great man when the
war was over? He’s put It over!
What a Joke!”
"Manny Rosen. Ran Into him at
the Athletic Club. Nothing funny
about him. now, either. Rather a fine
chap. Played the piano somewhere
afterwards, picked up an option—l
don’t know how they do It! But he's
a rich man now, with a chain of
cabarets.”
“Just another boy who made good
—what & kick! Oh, I love your
party," said Kay to Roger, mechan
ically wriggling her slim shoulders
under their black straps.
A velvet-skirted girl rather of
Kay's type, was on now, dancing a
tango a troi* with two little South
Americans in evening dress. Kay
watched her with pleasure, and a
little relief. The girl’s naked ankles
moved moek-dcmurely under the full,
long, black velvet, as the two part
ners snatched and swung and tossed
her from one to the other. It ended;
the girl, Polly-Lou Ritz, she was
called, was tossed shoulder-high, then
upside down, by her men. in a feat
of acrobatic balancing. Her full vel
vet skirts fell hack from ivr thighs.
Her arms, as white, flung bark in a
gav gesture of goou-bye. Kay looked
at Dick to share her admiration, but
he was more interested in what the
waiter was saying to Roger.
“Mr. Rose says. sir. he’s sorry, he
can't bring the lady over.”
"Come on. dance, darling!” said
Kay.
She stood up, with her air of being
limply afire, leaning to him and
whispering. In a moment they were
on the quickly crowded dims, danc
ing tike one welded person. Dick
dropped his head to kisa her as Es
ther watched them.
“Would you like to dance, dear?"
her uncle asked. “I should have told
you to bring some boy your own age.
Sorry.”
Esther shook her smooth head.
“Don't bother about me," she said,
“this is a swell evening—"
She happened to mean the conven
tional phrase of her moment. Under
Its Inexpressiveness aha was wildly
excited. The effect this singer had
had on this professional charmer of
a Mr. Stoddard; more significant, on
her adored uncle.
Roger, seeing her flushed cheeks
and brightened eyes, thought for the
thousandth time what a dependable
child she was. You never knew what
she thought, but you believed In her.
The other two returned, very good
friends.
The orchestra hurled itself Into an
other shrieking fox-trot, and the
harried waiter came back.
“Mr. Rose, air—” and darted off
omciousiy the way he had come.
Roger held out tua hand to the
lanky man in evening dress.
“This is good of you, Manny." be
said.
Dick greetted him boisterously.
“Well, well. It’s the same old Manny,
musical as ever! You made it, didn’t
you, old boy!”
Manny smiled. He waa swarthy,
lanky, with black, conventionally pol
ished hair, harsh, large features; his
kind, dead-black eyes held something
or the infinite sadness of a monkey's
until he smiled at you. which he <Hd
with an unexpected, disarming
sweetness.
“I’d do a lot for you. Captainhe
said sincerely. Esther wondered what
war-time mercies of Roger’s lay back
of the impresario’s gratitude, obvi
ously lasting and honest Then ha
stepped back with an expression very
near dismay.
“You didn’t tell me Captain Stod
dard was along.”
"Me and my gal," said Dick heart
ily. Roger introduced bim to the two
girls. He tried to hurry away.
“What’s the matter?” said Dick.
“Still think I have gun scrubbing In
my pants pocket? Not a bit of It, old
boy. You've taken me back to the
good old war days, though. . . . Back
behind the war—" the automatic
heartiness changed to something
more real—“behind the moon, far the
matter of that."
Manny moved uneasily.
“Captain Scarlett, the fact Is—my
masked lady's shy. I didn't get it
there waa a party. You alone, that'd
be one thing. ... A little dinner,
now, tomorrow night?"
“I’m sorry. Kay.” Roger assented
with quick willingness. “Perhaps Mr.
Rose will let us arrange the party
later —”
The orchestra had begun again the
old-fashioned sweetness of strings
and piano that the audience knew
meant their Masked Lady. They
clapped impatiently. She faced her
audience, smiled, and began. She was
singing the song which still holds,
for all Its subdued quaint decorus
nese, patience, heartbreak and hope
lessness beyond most songs.
•Therp'a a bower of roses by
Bendemeef’s stream
And the nightingale sings In
it all the day long,
In the days of my childhood *t
was like a sweet dream
To sit In the roses and hear
the bird's song;
That bower In its beauty I’M
never forget
And oft when alone In the
spring of the year
I think—ls the nightingale sing
ing there yet.

Dick Stoddard spoke, anseemg,
across to Roger Scarlett. “She used
to sing that too —with a blue rib
bon round her hair. Robin played for
her at the old Chlckerlng. Yoq. and I
sat there in our new uniforms. , . .

His handsome face, with Its moist,
red lips, was loosened out of all con
trol. He clutched Roger's sleeve in
his stammering intensity.

Only Eight School Boyc
In Highway Prison Camp
(Continued from rage One.)
numbered 11,765. leaving, 412 prison
ers listed in highway camps as the
new fiscal year started July 1 last.
An interesting note was that of the
825 escapes, out of the more than 16 -
000 prisoners handled a total of 364
were caught.
The average daily capacity of 4.163
was 1.600 below the number the de
partment could take care of with its
accommodations for 5,764 prisoners.
Larceny Crimea Lead.
Statistics on the prisoners handled
showtd that of the 12,139 received
from courts there were 3.809 sent to
the roads for larceny, which was far
more than were sentenced for any
other single offense.
Violation of the prohibition laws
came next with 2,809, ami assault was
third with 2,013 while burglary came
behind with 581 and next wais driv
ing intoxicated, with 523. It was noted
that 30 persona were sentenced to
the road for homicide. 16 for rape and
42 for robbery.
18 to 30 Commonest Age*.
There were 7.659 prisoners i-eeeived
from courts who were between the
ages of 19 and 30 years of age. or al
most 65 per cent of the total of 12.-
139. There were 2.857 persons between
24 and 30 yearn sentenced, making
this age bracket lead all others. There
were only five under 15 years of age.
28 between 15 and 16 and 875 between
16 arid 18. Between 18 and 21 there
were 2.135, between 21 and 24 came
2,667, between 30 and 40 there were
2.264, between 40 and 50 came 835 and
between 50 and 00 were 358.
Over 100 AtKive 00.
It was reported that there were 99
persons between till and 70 years of
age sentenced to the roads and, offi
cials said, a surprising thing was that
16 persons 70 yea is or over in age
were sent to the roads.
Larceny was the chief offense, ac
cording to age classifications of all
age brackets below that of 30 to 40
years, when violation of liquor laws
took the lead and held it throughout
the rest of the divisions.
Only nine prisoners received in th«
highway prison camps during the year
were sentenced lo terms of five years
or over, 4,343 were given 90 days to
six months. Next in length of indivi
dual sentences came six months to
one year, with 2.970 prisoners serving
that term, while there were 2.897 sen
tenced to 60 to 90 days.
Os the discharges listed, it waa
shown that only 284 out of 11 76S list
ed as discharged received paroles and
no pardons were granted.
Laborers Predominate.
Laborers lead all classifications In
total convictions listed, with 4.664. and
next came farmers with 3,179. The un
employed came next with their 1.243
and then came textile workers with
629.
No Teachers.
Officials noted with interest that
one sheriff, one actor, one bail play
er, one cotton buyer, one druggist, one
fighter, one trainman and no teach
er j 'vere listed among the convicts
when it crime to employment class
