CHAPTER XXX
Stuart was walking over the Hol-
lywood hills one windy day in Feb-
ruary. Great grey clouds scudded
across the sky out of the black
North. They twisted and writhed in
a tumbled mass over the opening
of the ravine, blotting out the com-
forting glimpse of the town. His
eyes were fixed somberly on the
great blackened patch ahead where
a disastrous brush fire had roared
its destructive way in the autumn.
“Am I to be Ijke that seared
ground forever?” he thought* Nev-
er to feel the uprush of Spring in-
side me again?”
A meadow lark trilled with Polly-
annish perseverance.
‘‘Oh, shut up!” Stuart muttered
irritably and turned towards home.
He stopped at the mailbox at the
foot of the hill. He had not been
interested enough to look in it for
three days. A solitary bill was
forthcoming. It was from the art-
ists* supply firm. Stuart tore it
open on the way up to the house,
dreading to find out how much he
owed. There was a note appended
to the bill. Very peremptory. “We
regret that we shall have to close
your account if this bill, long over-
due, is not paid at once:**
And the bill was for close to two
hundred dollars.
Stuart let himself into his studio
and looked blankly ground the cold,
cheerless place, as nf asking where

I used to be a tailor in the Old Coun-

you still had them—”
“Oh, .yes, I have them some-
where.” Stuart was remembering
the Eddie Meyer clothes that had
been locked away in a trunk since
the day he moved out of Sharlene’s
house.
“Good! There are lots of actors
apd such in Hollywood that would
be glad to buy those clothes. Solo-

the money was to come from. No
use sending any more soap “ideas.”
The advertising business was shot
to bits along with almost every
other enterprise since the crash of
the stock market.
With a sigh Stuart started to
pack up the canvases smeared with
that two hundred dollars’ worth of
paint. He did not belieAre in any one
of them. Horrible daubs. Hesitat-
ing, immature. But his only stock
in trade. Perhaps Abe Foreman
could get a few dollars for them
from some benighted foot.
But Foreman, the art dealer, was
having his own troubles, being in a
“luxury” business. Abe was ner-
vous and irritable and in no mood
to be kind. Nothing good had come
from that hill-top studio for a long
time. He eyed his tall, thin, reluc-
tant visitor without warmth.
“I—I hope you can sell some of
this truck, Abe,” Stuart began halt-
ingly.
“Let’s see it,” nonrcommittally
from’ Foreman. Stuart unpacked
and set up his canvases in the midst
of a depressing silence that contin-
ued ominously as the expert scru-
tinized each painting in turn.
At the end Abe turned away and
lit a cigar. “Take ’em away,” hei
said tersely. “I can’t sell 'em.”.
“I—hoped perhaps there’d be
some—”
■“Some boob, eh? Well, I don't
play my customers a dirty trick,

any better than to buy these—on

“For a prop, you know.”
“Oh I Like that Spanish comb you
brought home one time. ... You
never £ot to paint me as & Mexican
girl, did you* Stuart?” •
“No.” He spoke absently, almost
abruptly.'. An idea was stirring,
stirring, demanding to be bom.
Julie curled up on the couch.
"Set fire to that trash in the fire-
place, darling. This room is aw-
fully cold.” *
He did so. She kicked off her lit-
tle! pumps and held her stockinged
feat toward the blaze, watching
Stuart as he strode up and down
the room. There began to be a per-
vading excitement about him. His
blue eyes sparkled when he turned
in his restless pacing to face the
fire. His hair was still tumbled
from the wind. His mouth—he had
cut it. Julie longed to kiss it At
first she watched him lazily while
she basked lik^a kitten, reveling in
the sight of him. Then she began
to catch his excitement, only hers
was for a very different reason.
“I had to see you, Stuart.” she
said thro&tily. “I’ve been dy«ig to
see ydu!”
He threw her an absent smile
and continued to pace. She got ug
quickly and ran to seize his arm,
padding along with him in silk shod
feet up and down, up and down the
room. He was not aware of her, but
she did not know it for a while.
“Know why I came, darling?
'Cause I love you, that’s why! And
I get hungry for you. Hungry,
Stuart—”
VTo the hungry heart—” he mur-
mured under his breath.
She coiild feel the tenseness of
hia arm nnder her hand.
*Of course, you were right dar-
ling, not to marry me then and live
mV life. But look, Stuart why can’t
we* recon—yes, reconsider it”
&he ran with little kitten-padding
steps to keep up with his strides.
She did not look at hint, -but she
knew that he was stirred.
“O* course, I’ve got lots of men
friends—it isn’t that” She paused
for that to sink in—to get him jeal-
ous. He hurried his stops and she
was jubilAt
“But ygu feee,” she went on ca-
ressingly, "“I miss you, darling, and
I want you—”
Stuart interrupted her suddenly
with some- indeterminate word like
“wait” He went over to his easel,
threw aside a half-finished picture
and grabbed up a new canvas. His
eyeis were blazing now and his lips

tan?”
“Why,” said Stuart, laughing a
little m . embarrassment, “that’s
mighty kind. If you think—well,
yes, we could try itl"
“All right Mr. Pennington. And
I want to remind you I have some
of that special alazarine crimson
you used to use.”
“Thanks. I’ll be in soon.”

Stuart dragged the wardrobe
trunk into the studio from where
it had stood for months in the sec-
ond bedroom, ’and finally found the
keys in a tumbled bureau drawer
cheek by jowl with some collars and
a few discarded tubes of paint He
rather shrank from -opening the
trunk. He had been successful in
walling off all sick memories of
those last turbulent months. He
had walled off Sharlene herself so
successfully that he rarely thought
of her any more.
Drawing dut the suits on the rods,
he satisfied himself that the moths
had not ravaged them. When he
shook out the handsome dinner
clothes he had wdm on his “Last
Appearance” as “Prince Consort,"
his hand encountered something
soft as flower petals in a pocket.
Stuart drew it out It was the
scarf the Mah arena of Udaipur had
given Sharlene on that magio jour-
ney to the Wind Palace at Ja! Sa-
mand. It Was drawn through her
little diamond-studded wedding
ring and clung to his hands like a
cob-web, with a gossamer yet per-
sistent caress.
“So delicate," she had said, “that
one may pass a whole scarf through
a finger ring.”
!She had left him the scarf—and
the ring, mute reminders of the
glorious moments that were his
alone. She must have felt that even
she had no right to share that mem-
ory with him any longer. ... So
like Shariene!
Suddenly Stuart buried his face
in the scarf. The fragrance of
Sharlene still pervaded it. He stood
there in the big untidy room,
shaken like the silver birch outside
hjs window in the February wind.
The diamonds in the ring cut into
h1s mouth as he crushed it against
