CHAPTER VUI.—Continued

That was Starr Ellison’s deadly
fascination—the thousand and one
contradictions in her volatile person-
ality that made Michael Fairbourne
certain that it had been nothing less
than inspiration which had led him
to concoct that story about her hay-
ing Egyptian princess ancestry. He
was probably right, without having
known it, except by inspiration. If
truth were told, she probably had
come straight down in a direct line
from the sirenest of all sirens. It
would not have been hard to per-
suade Michael that Cleopatra her-
self had sent along her blood—and
her allure—through the centuries to
the girl-woman who called herself
Starr Ellison.

Michael stared down the long
room at Lance Marlowe's guests. In
the group clustered near the flicker-
ing fire on the hearth Starr was al-
most hidden by the men who sur-
rounded her. Moths, Stephanie call-
ed them. And Michael Fairbourne
realized suddenly, with an attempt
at mental castigation, that he was no
better than the rest. He feltsan un-
conrollable impulse to follow wher-
ever she went. But he had no inten-
tion of joining that crowd. He
would not. At least he could keep
his self-respect to that extent. So
he remained on the fringe, a dark
and angry moth, watching.

The group parted when someone
called for fresh cocktails, and
Michael saw Starr. Her exotic beauty
was like a flame. She was wearing
a startling costume this day—which
was Russian in’ effect. It was all
black and scarlet with little bands
of fur around the throat. She car-
ried a ridiculous little black muff of
the same astrakan that appeared to
serve her for gesturing purposes as
well as the fan for a Spanish wo-
man, or any of .the well known
props. Her dusky cloud of hair, be-
neath a tiny scarlet hat, fell almost
to her shoulders.

No one but Starr Ellison would
have dared wear an outfit like that,
and she knew it. Her clothes were
as breath-taking as her conduct. She
long since had got out of hand with
Michael who at first had considered
it his duty to take her shopping.
Starr had ideas of her own, and she
had not hesitated to let him know it.
He could pay the bill—and did—but
hers was the selection.

Her eyes met Michael's, and they
held each other's for a strange, long
moment. The girl who was the
toast of a city, and the man who
had made her what she was.

They had not spoken to each other
intimately since their flare-up in the
ballroom at Pierre's the night of
Starr's debut, just about two weeks
before. No longer did Michael come
to the penthouse apartment and the
living room with the mushrabiyeh
windows for consultations or inti-
mate chat. That was all over. Their
meetings since the party had. been
but few, and those had been tinged
with brittle sarcasm and deadly
barbs of caustic wit. Their defiance
against each other left steel daggers
always drawn, just beneath the sur-
face. Not even an armed truce.

That one long look from gray eyes
to black. . . Suddenly Starr left her
little group of satellites. A freakish
impulse led her to Michael. A provo-
cative slant of those deep-fringed
eyes swept the tall, stern-faced man.
She stood in front of him, her black
eyes lifted to his face. She said sud-
denly:

“You're elected to take me home,
Has—Michael!”

A stiffness crept over his big
frame.

“May I ask why?” he said, his
tone itself challenging.

Starr said insolently:

“Because you’re the most miser-
able-looking man present, and you
need thawing out.” She spread her
hands and laughed. “Besides, every-
| boay else is tight, and some of them
might have the idea they could
drive.”

When he did not reply directly, the
imperious “Play-Girl” commanded:

“Hurry! I’ve barely enough time
to get home and slip into a bath and
some sort of a dress for Tod Rang-
er’s party at the Mayfair tonight”

Neither of them had noticed Lance
Marlowe saunter up, but the ever-
present Lance suggested in his
smooth voice:

“Why go home?
here, Starr.”

A ripple of amusement greeted his
words. Starr did not seem to mind

the amusement. She fayored Lance

eS

with one of her mysterious smiles.

It might have meant yes—or no—or
perhaps.

Michael quivered suddenly with
black rage. He had not missed the
obvious. For Starr to change, to
dress here, certainly meant that
there would be here something more
for her to dress in than Lance Mar-
lowe's pajamas. Why? Was it true,
then, what people were whispering
about her? Why should she have a
wardrobe, or any part of it, here?
How many times had she stayed here
with Lance?

He burst out savagely?

“You can keep your accommoda-
tions, Marlow. Ill take her home.”

Lance’s thin eyebrows rose. “All

in fun, Mike, old chap— Don’t get|_

the wind up. . .”
And immediately Michael Fair-

‘| bourne was conscious of having made

a transcendental ass of himself, by
being serious when everybody else in
the place was ragging. The ripple
of amusement grew to a chorus
which dinned in his ears. Michael
clenched his fists. Starr was laugh-
ing more amusedly than any of
them.

Michael was glum and silent as
they rode down in the elevator. In
silence he helped her into his road-
ster, got in and jammed down the
starter. Starr leaned back against
the upholstery and snuggled down
comfortably in her seat, but her
heart was doing a queer little kind of
pounding dance. From the corner of
her eyes she glanced toward the
clean-cut profile of the man beside
her, admiring, in spite/of all the will
power she could bring to bear on that
subject, the cut of his lean, strongly
molded, set jaw; his firm, tanned fea-
tures. Why did he have to be so un-
reasonably attractive?

‘Don't be more of an idiot than
you can help,” she was telling her-
self sternly. “This 1s a business
arrangement, and you certainly
ought to know it by now.”

But even as she watched every
play of his features, saw the keenness
of his gray eyes as they were set on
the traffic, in her heart was one dull
thought. If only things could be dif-
ferent!

Just looking at him gripped a pain
around her heart that had never been
there once in her life before she had
met him. He was so alive and care-
lessly masterful and—different. In
spite of the way he had acted as far
as she was concerned, she could not
force it from her mind that he was
basically finer, more honorable, than
any of the rest of that set he played
around with. Certainly he was the
only one who, so far, had not allow-
ed the “mysterious” ‘“Play-Girl” to
twist him around her little finger
whenever she chose. And that had
been her whole intention.

Michael was still silent—furiously
so. He cut his way through the

gathering dusk and the maze of
traffic with vicious speed.

For a second Starr closed her eyes.
Her delicate cameo profile was so
white, except for the too-bright
coloring of her defiant young mouth.

“And I am making you very rich,
Michael-Hassan?”

It was the first time since the
night of the debut party that she
had mentioned their bargain.

He said stiffly, without moving his
gaze from straight ahead:

“In the last few days the sales of
my book have jumped amazingly,
thanks to you!”

“Thanks to my complete lack of
reticence as regards the public air-
ing of my love affairs, you mean!”
she corrected him brazenly.

The line of his hard-gripped jaw
was white.

“Starr! How can you?”

Her red lips twisted ironically.
That certainly was funny, coming
from Michael Fairbourne—the man
who had been so insistent in saying
once: “All I ask is that you keep
your name in the headlines—I don’t
care how.”

Well, she had done that for him.
The name was becoming as familiar
to the reading public as the weather
report. In just the short time since
she had swept onto the New York
horizon like a brilliant meteor, she
had blazed her mad, reckless way
through highly colorful escapades
which could not be ignored—they
were news. She had accomplished
what she had set out to do, too, as
far as she herself was concerned. Her
metamorphosis was complete. Starr
Ellison was lost—she was all “Play-
Girl.” It had not taken long, and
now she was pulling the strings.
Men were her puppets.

Michael was saying roughly:

“What's happened to you, Starr
Ellison? You've grown into some-
thing shallow, and unreal, like a lot
of vivid color painted on glass!’

“Play-Girl” laughed. She echoed:
“Viyid color painted on glass! How
clever of you, Michael-Hassen.
must remember to tell that to Lance.
He'll think it too divine and pass it
around as he has passed that so-
brilliant remark of mine about my
insatiable appetite for bakhshish!”

Suddenly his anger got the better
of him. His eyes blazed as his hands
tightened on the wheel until the
knuckles showed white.

“Lance!” he spat out. “Look here,
Starr, I never intended for you to
carry out this thing this far. What
I may have thought about you at
first—well, I've changed my mind. . .
Do you realize what people are hint-
ing about you?”

And then Starr was angry, too. A
deep, bitter anger. The supreme
arrogance of the man! She flared:

“What right have you to tell me
where I shall start, and where I
shall leave off? The only interest
you can possibly have is in whether
I keep my name before the public or
not—that was distinctly your bar-
gain! I’m doing that—plenty! Ill
carry it all as far as I please! It’s
none of your business! Yes, I know
what people are saying—that I am
Lance’s mistress!”

She turned to meet the full glare
of his gray eyes as the speed of the
car slackened momentarily. She
drawled impudently:

“Well, what do you think?”

Michael looked long at the veiled
allure of her eyes, at the mocking in-
solence of her mouth. Then he
studie@: the almost childlike curve of
her white throat against the dark
fur, and refiected on the everlasting
contradiction of her, as if in very
truth she were the siren type of
another day which his own press
work had made her in the eyes of
the public.

He said hoarsely: “I don't know. I
don't know what to think about you
at all—in any way. I wish to heaven
I did!”

All at once a hot flood of ‘words
fell on her ears.

“J know one thing about you!
You're not the girl I thought you
were when I first found you. .. If I'd
had the faintest idea you were not,
T’d never have let you in for this
thing in a million years. I thought
—I thought—well, never mind what.
It just wasn’t so, and if you'd ever
loosen up maybe I’d know just why
you were playing La Luna, . . Never
mind that, either. What I do mind
is now! What's happening to you
since you've gone crazy with a little
fleeting power and adulation. Don't}
you ever give a thought to your fu-
ture? Have you considered what
will become of you when all this has
worn off?”

‘I think you warned me once be-
fore that ‘Play-Girl’ would not last
forever,” said Starr placidly, and her
delicate shoulders shrugged. ‘I'm
not worrying.”

“You should be! When ‘Play-Girl’
is finished, where will your fair-

very actions now may forever ruin
your chance for any real future hap-
piness!”

Unprecedented Flying

American Experiments may Lead To
Using Super-Transport Planes

A revolutionary change in air
transportation with gigantic liners
speeding across the United States
thousands of feet above the altitude
attained by present commercial planes
is presaged by experimental flights
at Kansas City, Mo.

The tests are being conducted by
Transcontinental and Western A\ir,
Inc. The company is collecting scien-
tific data regarding aeroplane per-
formance, atmospheric conditions and
the feasibility of operating schedules
at drastically higher altitudes than
are now common.

Such knowledge is to be embodied
in the construction of a new super-
transport plane designed for regular
operation on the company’s coast-to-
coast route.

When completed, such planes are
expected to be capable of unprece-
dented performance at altitudes lofty
enough to prevent interference from
weather disturbances closer to the
earth’s surface.

Capt. D. W. Tomlinson piloted a
laboratory plane to an altitude of
80,000 feet in 30 minutes in a recent
experimental flight. From a tem-
pereture of 110 degres at the airport,
Tomlinson reported a _ precipitate
plunge of the mercury until it
touched 18 degrees below zero at the
peak of his climb.

Tomlinson hopes to reach 45,000
feet. At that height, greater effici-
ency in performance will be notice-
able and additional data will be ob-
tained, he believes.

New trips into the troposphere and
stratosphere are planned. Accom-
panying Tomlinson on the flight is an
engineer, who keeps a record of the
apparatus being tested for altitude

The Dead Sea

Modern Science Is Taking Out Valu-
able Chemicals From Its Waters
The Dead Sea, the strangest body

of water in the world, {is slowly com-

ing to life again. x
Lying 1,300 feet below the level of

the Mediterranean, receiving an in-

flow of 6,000,000 tons of water daily
from the River Jordan, without an
outlet, the sea has puzzled archae-
ologists and geologists for centuries.

To-day, where once Sodom and
Gomorrah stood, where David took
refuge, where Herod and Marianne
fled when the. Parthians captured
Jerusalem in 42 B.C., modern science
is taking out potash and bromine—
and the Dead Sea area is alive with
activity.

Once barren and thought useless,
the sea’s shoreline is now ringing
with the sound of hammers as a new
potash works, with a 39,000-ton
capacity annually, has brought on a
building boom.

Resorts put up by British capital,
in and around the Dead Sea, are
bringing thousands of visitors to the
sea each winter, and homes and work
buildings are springing up.

Great Britain {is closely watching
the potash processes, for the Dead
Sea is a great source of potash and
bromine for various uses.

By contrast to~- ordinary ocean
water, which contains from four to
six per cent, salts, the Dead Sea con-
tains 25 per cent. No animal life is
able to live in its waters, and very
little vegetable life,

The evaporation from the sea, its
only outlet from the heavy inflow,
causes strange-looking blue-white
clouds to float overhead, giving it a
fantastic sheen from a distance.
