gasp of relief. He caught sight of
uane and his joy died instantly.
Wh^fcurn loved Daphne abd wanted
her for Ills own. He had counted her
his own, and still had neither refunded
the engagement ring nor.paid for it.
Daphne was more.pleased With Wife
burn’s misery than with Duane’s fe
licity.—— '■ mi' , - 1 ——r—
“Won’t you cotpe up, Clay?” she’
asked.

"Will you take a little walk with me

"All right,” the said as she led the
way out Into* the street. "I’m pretty
tired, though. I walked home from
the theater." /
“With Duane!” Clay snarled. “You'
weren’t too tired for tfcat.” -
Daphne thought of the motor ride
and the supper she had declined. She
said, “Are you dragging me out here
for the sake of a fight?"
- “There’ll be no fight if you'll cut out
that man Dunne.” \
“Ap I to. have no friends at all?’V -
“You can have all you want, pro

Butterson arrived nt length. He wus

Daphne was again her fiber's own

He was glad to have her back, but
he could hnve wished that she had not
.gone away, since he paid the freight

himself In New York nnd nothing to
ahow for oil the spilt milk of time,
money and emotions.
•At the critical moment Daphne men
tioned that the star whose understudy
she was would earn fifty thousand dol
lars thot year In spite of the hard
times. "Fifty thousand dollars” had a
musical sound to Wesley's ears. If
Daphne could earn n tenth of that be
would believe in miracles. t
“Where were y«m planning to Ilv4,
honey, while you’re acting? With
Bayard, I suppose."
“Oh, no." said Daphne; "we’ve ru

“Who with, tbenf’
_ “Oh. by myself, 1 suppose." . .
“Go<»d Lord I you couldn't do that
very well—a young girl like you."
"Why not?" she said.
He turned pale. This was like being
asked why hubles were found under
cabbuge leaves. He was an old-fash
ioned father, and he had never been
able to rise to the,new school of dis
cussing vitally Important topics with
the children vitally Interested.
“Why, why," he stammered, “why,

Daphne studied-him with a tender
amusement. He was aoLlmufiBsnt_In

her to his breast, then held hef out
arm’s length to prulse her and to
praise Bayard for bringing her Into the
family. - - —
, AUs. Kip did not delay long the as
sault on Daphne's position. But Wes
ley said:
"We’ve had a long t(^lk and I guess
she's pretty set In her way. She's a
good girl, though, mamma. And she
knows her own mind better than we
do. Anyways, It's her own mind. Let
her have her way and If anything goes
wrong she can always come back
home." \
His wife boiled over. It made her
feel as much at home as an old kettle
on a. stove to have her husband there
to bitll over on: “Wesley Kip, are you
going to set there and encouruge that
girl to ruin her life nnd her reputa
tion without doing anything to protect
her?"
“Oh. I guess she’s not going to ruin
anything. After nil, the best way to
protect folks Is to trust ’em.”
It was lyild plagiarism, but Daphne
made no complaint. Wesley got into
trouble at oihs*. however, by making
the suggestion.- that his wife retpnin
as a -companion for her chiUi, Mrs.
Kip took It, as .1 Sign that he wanted
to get nl of m r, and I>aphne refused

ne was so restrained that Daphne
broke out for him, “Do you think I am
a complete Idiot, Mr. Batterson?"
“Far from It, my dear," said Batter
son. “You are a very Intelligent young
woman. The trouble Is that you are
too Intelligent for the child’s pluy of

You’ve got to pretend or you can’t
feel nnd you can’t make anybody else

And that, Indeed, was Daphne’s ag
ony. She could not release her Imagi
nation or command her clear vision to
see what was not there.
Night after night she reported nt
the theater and left it When tlie cur-
roslor. But, lover-like, he took um
brage and pain and despair from her
advice, and since they were again at
the vestibule he sighed, "Good night,
Mrs. Duane," and Hung out . Into thd

Daphne sighed, and the poor eleva
tor man who saw s<> much of this ?*>rt
of thing sighed with her and for tjer.
CHAPTER XII.
<
All this while Daphne was kept In
readiness to take Miss Kemble’s part
in case the Illness of her child-should
result In death and In the further case
thi}t she should be unfltde to finish her
performances. • With the theatrical
season In such bad estate nnd most of
Rehen's companies nnd theaters losing
money heavily, Sheila Kemble was his
one certain dependence. He called
her his breadwinner.
Miss Kemble’s baby passed the cri
sis nnd recovered. And then the
mother, worn out with the double
strain, caught a little chill that became
blinding, choking cold. She ttt*nt
through the Saturday matinee In a
whisper, but the night performance
was beyond her.
And now at last Daphne’s change ar
rival. The Saturday night house was
enormous in spite .of the heat. There
wet# enough people there to make
fourteen hundred dollars—twenty-five
hundred for the day.

So all four went up in the elevator

Batterson came at last and ordered
iiim off the stage, Rei>en obeyefbhim.
Then Batterson talked to her. lie told
her that there was no reason to fear
the house. A Saturday night audience
was always easy. It wanted its mon
ey’s wor/h! It would help to get it.
“I see/’ said Daphne. “I’m not
afraid of the audience.”
“Th on *what on earth a re youafraid

“I’m afraid of‘me!”
Batterson laughed scornfully. "Oh,
you!" You’re going to score a knock
out. You’re going to make a big hit!"
"Yes,” said Daphne, “so you’ve al

The curtain rose. Miss Winsor and
the young man skipped onto their
job; the butler stalked; Eldon entered
and made his exit. Mrs. Vining spread
iTer skirts and sailed on, then Eldon
went back, ' Finally Daphne’s cue
came. ' ’ .
She was startled a little as Batter
son nudged hgr forward. She went to
the door and opened it on her new
career to make her public debut with
the all-important “How d’ you do7"
She saw before her the draw ing room
