But she surprises them all with her fine traits of char acter. Her struggles and con stant danger are frightening, but she brings help and happi ness to men and women who need it much. This Is a story with strong pulse. 1 SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER 1-I'eter KnlKht, defeated for pulitti ul office In his town, decides to venture Nw rk In enter tlmt Hie fata lly fortunes might benefit by the i-xpectud line uf Ills charming daughter, Lorelei. "I don't know, never having met the lady, f wouldn't humiliate myself by n peieoual Interview, so I built a story on tho Broadway gossip. Inasmuch ' is she goes In for notoriety, I gave Iwr some of the best that I had In ""rWr" TTef photographer did the rest." Thu door curtains parted, and Lllas Lynn, a slim, black-eyed young wom an, euterod. She greeted Pope cor dially as she removed her hat and " Me What You Think of Flourishing Little City." handed it to the woman who acted as 'dresser for the two occupants of the , room, j , ' "''Tni Intel as usual," (die said. "Hut don't leave on my account." She dis appeared into the lavatory, and emerged a moment latpr lu n combing Jacket. "Lorelei's got her nerve to talk to you after the panning you gave Dcmorest," she continued. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself to strike u defenseless slur?" ' .I'or nodded. "I am,, and Tin Asbltuiod of my entire sex when I hear of them flocking lo the Palace Oar idert just to see a woman who has nnth ; intf to distinguish her but a reputation for vlleness." "Dlil you see the crown jewelsthe King's ' Citbachon rubles?" Lorelei naked. "Only from the front. I dare My they're as counterfeit nst she In." Mlsu Lynn turned, revealing a coiliitenaiice as shiny as that of nn Eskimo belle. Willi her war paint only half ripplled and her hair secured close ly to her small head, she did not in the least resemble the dashing "count ess" of the program. , "Oh, they're real enough. I got that straight." Campbell Popo scoffed. "Isn't it true about the king of Pel dovla? Didn't he wreck his throne?" eair-rly queried Mrs. Knight. . "1 nerer met tbrf klnjr, find I haven't Our . . . v . examined his throne. 'Hut, you Titiow, kings ean do no wrong, and thrones tire easily mended." Hut Mrs. Knight was insistent; ler eyes glittered, her sharp uose was thrust forward Inquisitively. "They say she draws two thousand a week, and won't go to supper with a man for less than live hundred dollar. She says if fellows want to be seen la public with her they'll have to pay for It, ami she's right. Of course she's ter ribly had, hut you must ndiiiit she's done mighty well for herself." "We'll have a chance to see her to night." announced Lllas. "Mr. Ilam- mon is giving n big supper to some of I his friends and we're going Lorelei 'mid I. Jiemorest Is down for her 'Dunne de Nuit.' They say ' It's the limit." , "llamrnon. the steel man?" queried j the critic, curiously. ".Sure. There's only one ILtinmon. Hut nix on the newspaper story; this ! Is a private affair." j "Never let us speak 111 of a poor , Pittsburgh millionaire," laughed Pope, j "Scandal must never darken the soot of that village," lie turned as Slos son. the pres agent of the show, en : tcred with n bundle of photographs, j "Here are the uf pictures of Lore I lei for your story, old mau." Mr. Wes son said. "Hergmann will appreciate the boost for one of his girls. Help yourself to those you want. If you need any more stuff I'll supply It." "Don't go to the trouble," Pope hast ily deprecated. "I know the story. Now I'm going to leave and let Miss Lynn tlress." "Don't go on my account," urged I.Ilas. "This room Is like a subway station, and I've got so 1 could 'change' In I'.r.vant park nt noon and never shock a policeman." "You won't say anything mean about list, will you?" Mrs. Knight implored. "In this business a girl's reputation is all she has." "I promise." Pope held out Ills hand to Lorelei, and as she shook it her lips parte 1 In her ever-ready smile. "N'ico girl, that." the critic remarked, ns he and Siosson descended the stairs. "Which cine Lorelei, Lllas, or the fermi'i" gorilla?" "How did she come to choose that for a mother?" muttered Pope. "One of nature's inscrutable myste ries. P.ut wait. Have you seen Hrother Jim?" "No. Who's he?" "Ills mother's son. Xeed we say more? lie's a great help to the family, for ho keeps 'cm from getting too proud over Lorelei. He sells Introduc tions to his sister." - Campbell pope's exclamation was lost in a babble of voices as a bev.y of "Swimming Girls" descended from the enchanted regions above and scur ried out upon the stage. Through the double curtain the orchestra could be faintly heard; a voice was crying, "Places." "Sonic Soul Kissers with this troupe, eh?" remarked Siosson, when the scampering figures had disappeared. "Yes. Ilergman has made a fortune out of this kind ti show. He's a friend to the 'Tired Business Man.'" "Speaking of tin? weary Wall street workers, there will be a dozen of our ribbon winners at the llamrnon sup per tonight." "Tell me, Is Lorelei Knight ti 'regit, lar (rWreipienler of these affairs'" "Sure. It's part of the graft." "I se." "She has to piece out her salary like the other girls. Why, her whole family Is n round her neck mother, brother and father. Old maa Knight was run over by n taxlcab Inst summer. It didn't hurt the machine, but he's Rot a broken back or something. Too had It wasn't brother Jimmy. You must meet him, by the way! I never beard of Lorelei's doing anything really bad." For the moment Campbell pope made no reply, Meanwhile a great wave of singing flooded the regions nt tho back of tho theater ns the curtain rose and the chorus broke Into sudden sound." When be did speak It was with unusual bitterness. "It's the rottetiest business In the world, Siosson. Two years ngo she was n country girl; now she's a P.rond- way I telle. "How lung will she last, d'you think r "Slie'8 too beautiful to last Imcr." agreed the press agent, soberly, "espe cially now that the wolves arc on her trail. Hut her dancer jmi't so much from the people she meets with as the people she eats with. That family of jliers would drive any girl to the limit. They Intend to cash in on her; the m.Tther Kays so." "And they wiil, too. She can have her eledee of the wealthy roundels." "Ioi't got tnt wrong." Siosson has tened to qualify. "She's square; un drwtat;dr" "Of course; 'object tint ti iinony." It's the old story, and her mother v.lii see to the in:,' ti;d the orar.e lihw-oms. But what's tic difference, after all. Siosson.'
