SYNOPSIS .
Adele Dayton, starring tn uPoio-
der My Back," visits her married
sister, Mazie, in their home town,
Broolfton, Iowa. During her stay,
Harry Stark, her niece's beau, and
George Robertson, her childhood
sweetheart, now a bank president,
both fall in love icith her. She re-
turns to New York and Harry fol-
lows her. Later, George arrives, ex-
plaining that Harry decamped with
bank funds and that her niece is
heart-broken. Whereupon, for the
sake of her niece, she goes to At-
lantic City with George and when
Harry follows her and begs her to
run axcay with him, she appears
without her makeup, showing him
her real age.
CHAPTER XVII—Continued
'‘You’ll be a lot better and a lot
more broad-minded for them. And
perhaps you’ll bring all the little
Starks for me to see some day—
and I hope that you call one of the
girls after me.”
“Adele! How can you be so
heartless!” Harry exclaimed, the
pain of this final blow still causing
him to shudder.,
“Heartless! Can’t you see that
I’m doing all this—O, what’s the
use, Harry.” Adele’s voice was
very stern and her words very defi-
nite. She knew that Harry did
not realize, and never would, the
sacrifice she had made. So she
wanted to end everything as quick-
ly as possible. “Now, you must run
along,” she spoke in the old, fa-
miliar tones. “I hqve to dress, and
it’s almost time for my engage-
ment. Come on—shoo! No, we’re
“Come on in, George
not going to say any good-byes.
Give my love to Mildred, and all
that sort of thing.”
“But Adele," Harry began, al-
though he was as anxious to get
out as Adele was to have him go,
yet he hated to act as though he
were definitely leaving her. But
she Baved him the trouble of an ef-
fort.
“Come on. There’s a good boy.”
She opened the door for him. “I
have to meet George Robertson,
‘that old fossil’,” she laughed. “By
the way, I went to school with
him." With that parthian shot she
pushed Harry out into the hallway
and closed the door behind him.
She leaned back against the door
her head high. She shut her teeth
with a little click, and drew a deep
breath. She had carried out her
plan and gained her end.
CHAPTER XVIII
It was Renee's voice reminding
her that It was after eight o’clock,
and that Mr. Robertson was due
to arrive a little after eight-thirty,
that brought Adele back iuto the
present moment She nodded to
the maid and returned to her room
and sat down before the mirror.
Her own eyes looked back at her,
hard and unflinching. Her mouth
drooped — catching a suggestion
of that grim line that Mazie’s had.
She felt cold—as though something
within her had died. p
“Renee,” she turned away from
the mirror quickly. “Order a
siphon and some cracked ice right
away and mix me a highball.”
“Yes, Madame,” Renee answered
and took up the telephone to give
the order.
Adele arose and took off the
brownish yellow dress and flung
it on the floor. “And Renee,
throw that dress out—I never want
to see it again. You may have
it, if you like, but please have it
dyed. I can’t wear that color—
i never could."
“O, yes, Madame—thank you.”
The maid finished her telephone
order and picked up the costume
and tucked it away into an obscure
corner of her bag. She laid out
the make-up boxes and arranged
the dresser. "You will want these
this evening?" she Inquired, point-
ing to the rouge and paint-pots, not
quite certain whether Madame in-
tended continuing this strange
policy of frightening her friends
Off this way.
k ♦‘Yes, indeed, Renee, I’m goias

to use them—lots of them,” Adele
laughed, and 6at down to Mfii?. her
toilette.
Once more she Btarted the work
of camouflaging her face. Quickly
she hid the sight of her natural
looks from her own eyes. She
never wanted to see herself that
way again. It was too startling—
too upsetting. But, she decided,
this would be the last time that
she would ever allow herself to be-
come so entangled that she had
to resort to such measures. She
had had this one fling, and It had
brought only bitterness and hurt
Now that it was over with, she
was through. She would go back
to work—what a relief It would be
to return to New York and the
theatre tomorrow night
Perhaps, after all, she told her-
self, George might be the answer
to the whole question. It was
sometimes tiresome having no one
but the maid to talk to. And the
marmoset she had soon discarded
because she had grown tired of its
ceaseless chatter—even though It
was good publicity. But George
was such a sane, sensible person.
He wouldn’t expect her to fall
violently in love with him—
wouldn’t really want her to. He
had a respect for her work, and
he was broad-minded enough to
realize that her first thought would
be for the theatre.
And George, too, wanted com-
panionship—someone who would
know how to spend his money
properly, and who coaid be charm-
ing to his friends when necessary.
And he was used to traveling about
alone, so that he would never ex-
pect her to make these trips with
him. And he respected her as a
woman who had worked her own
way through life, as he himself
had. They oould have frightfully
good times together traveling
abroad, and going places and see-
ing things. And he was her own
age.
Renee brought In the highball
and set It on the table. Adele
sipped It slowly as she made up
and prepared to meet George. It
might be possible, _.She reflected
after a while, that they would be
very happy together, and quite
companionable.
Adele arose and began to draw
on the evening gown of rich brown
chiffon velvet Renee adjusted it
as the actress stood before the
mirror and surveyed herself. It
was a most becoming dress that
fitted her beautifully. The flaring
bow and drapes at the side, lined
with flaming orange, Otve it a dash
and smartness. The-low-cut front •
filled In with flesh colored georg-
ette, went back over her shoulders
in tiny straps, and the broad ex-
panse of bare back revealed was a
typical “Adele Dayton” gown.
As Renee finished powdering the
famous back a knock came at the
door, and the maid put down the
puff to answer. Adele scrutinized
herself in the mirror once more.
But now she looked like the Adele
Payton whose photographs graced
magazines and posters. She was
as stunningly beautiful as ever;
as charmingly sophisticated as
her reputation would have one be-
lieve. And with# all that staring
back at her from the glass, she 1
knew, too, that she had been very
wise in doing whg£ sik€ tiad done,
even though it had hurt. Like an
aching tooth that has just been
extracted, she told herself, smiling.
You still remember the pain, and
there was a void there, but you
knew that it would soon become
an accustomed thing and finally
forgotten.
"Ah, Adele!” George stood at
the open door leading into the bed-
room. “How are you.”
“Oome on In, George. I’ve just
finished dressing. And I want to
tell you that the worst is over.
Everything turned out, just as we
had expected.” Adele shook hands
with he* visitor and motioned him
to a big armchair beside the dress-
ing table. “Harry came here to-
day wi$h a gun, looking for the
‘other jnan.’ But after we had
gone oier the situation fully, he
finally decided that I was righL”
“Well, what’s he going to do
now?” George asked.
“I think—in fact I’m certain that
he’s going back to Brookton and
he’ll undoubtedly fall In love with
Mildred all over' again,” Adele
laughed. "O, I had no compunc-
tions about it, George. I impressed
him with my age,” she laughed
again, but she did not mention
how, and she felt that Harry never
would, “and explained to him that
we were so far apart in ideas,
thoughts—everything.”
“What did he say about going
back to the bank?”
“He spoke of that—rather, I sug-
gested that the best thing for him
to do was to go back to the bank,
and he said that he couldn't—that
I didn’t know the situation there.
I explained that I knew the situa-
tion thoroughly, ani advised him
to accept your offer.*

Public Cordially Incited
Ocean Vessels
In Radio Chain
To Help Fliers
By CHARLES A. SMITH
(IMS) Staff Correspondent
LONDON.—With the object df re-
ducing the casultv list of those who
attempt to conquer the Atlantic
Ocean by air. Lieut Donald MacMil-
laui, an experienced navigating offi-
cer of the Cunard Line, has planned
a scheme whereby Atlantic shipping
would act as an unbroken chain of
organized “radio advisers” to airmen
making Atlantic flights.
Lieut. MacMillan’s plan is simple in
principle and it is believed would be
practicable provided the necessary
co-operation was forthcoming.
Under a pre-arranged scheme
ships would appoint a “plotting” ship
for each 10 degrees of Longitude
across the ocean when a flight was
begun. At each hour (Greenwich
Mean Time) the ’plane would trans-
mit a call sign. All ships in a position
ta do so would observe its beairng by
directional radio.
Weathqr Reports
Then they would transmit data, in-
j eluding weather reports, to the plot-
ting—or main ship—in their zone,
and the navigator of the plotter would
collate the reports and transmit them
to the airmen. The ’plane would thus
be guided throughout its Journey.
Lieut. MacMillan has approached
the biggest navigating and shipping
concern here to act as a coordinating
body in the organization of his plan.
This company is in touch with hun-
dreds 'of navigators serving in Atlan-
tic vessels.
“Provided the cooperation of all
concerned were obtained the scheme
could be offered to any airman who
asked for It,” Captain Coombs, man-
ager of the insurance company, told
International News Service. “It is not
anticipated that the position will be
obtainable at every hour, nor is it cer-
tain. owing to technical difficulties,
that a plane could receive such infor-
mation should it be available.
Would Be Useful
But a great deal of useful work
could be done. Correct information on
the direction of the prevailing swell,
for instance, would enable the air-
man to verify his course.
“The scheme would cost the ship-
ping companies nothing, and might
easily save them thousands of dol-
lars by preventing the deviation of

their vessels unnecessarily in the
search and rescue work of Atlantic
airmen.
“A scheme of cooperation between
seamen and airmen will eventually be
organized and controlled. I think, by
the Governments concerned, but pri-
vate enterprise will be necessary to
set it going.”
