"I have no spirit in me when I am there. It‘s cold and black and ugly and nowhere can I see that it might be a marble palaceâ€"" * "I know, kid, you‘re getting a tougn break. Forget all this and imagine the crowds out front. Gse, kid, when you dance and know that there are thouâ€" sands of people out there in front, watching every move you make, why, it makes all the difference in the world. I‘d like to take you and let you see it alive but," he grinned, "they won‘t let you backstage till it‘s necessary, littie hellcat. You know New York has been reading a lot about you. We haven‘t a ticket left to sell." He was coaxing thelight back into her eyes. "Baby, you‘ve got a chance to go over like a million gollars.

She‘s afraid yvouil take her place Consuelo, a beautiful gypsy girl who longs to dance, is loved by the Dummy, a deaf mute, and Marcu. She despises her mother, Anica, but ‘is fond of her father, Girtza. Marcu tempts Consuelo with a huge diamond and she agrees to marry him. But on her wedding day she boards a train for New York on which are riding Stewart Blackmire., theatrical producer; Doug, his secreâ€" tary, and Bill, a friend. Consuelo had danced for them 10 days previously when their private car had been waitâ€" ing on a railroad siding in town. Doug takes the gypsy into Stewart‘s car. Stewart telegraphs his publicity agent andâ€"also his friend, Louise, telling her not to meet the train. Consuelo throws her arms around him. In New York a series of publicity stunts prepares Conâ€" suelo for her debut in the Follies. Crowds watch her everywhere she goes. Longing for green grass, the gypsy leaves her hotel alone and finally gets into Central Park, where she bathes her tired feet in a fountain poolâ€"and is arrested. Rescued for rehearsal she not only dances without fire, but has a fight with Louise LWVille, the star, who demands that Consuelo be reâ€" moved from the cast., Doug tells the gypsy girl she can have only one more chance. CHAPTER 24 STILL CONSUELO did not look up, but sat tense in‘ the chair. â€" "It will be differeni," she said. ‘"Well, it‘d better be," said Doug. "Gosh, kid, when you danced beside the train Td never seen anyone so good. Why didn‘t you dance like that when you were on the stage?" w w _ .. ‘. wow w # w# *# ha w# ## w# # w# * # «fuatoale«? + ..0 « *# # # ## “. # *# ## # *# ## # # *4 # # ## # # ## #. * .“.“. ind *# *# w# #e« 71 Third Ave. 20 inch 16 inch GY PSY CIRL 4 inch _ _ J‘ .

Dogs, all of them, she thought. This white woman, ah, how I hate her! I locked at her and thought she was beautiful but my eyes lied to me. My white man sends me a necklace that is more costly than any I have ever owned and yet he does not come to me. A piece of glass was worth more than that to Marcu. Marcu . .. "Rubies, rubies for a gypsy!" She looked .t it long and lovingly and the light of happiness came back into her eyes. "Tell him that the rubies are no redder than my lips which are waiting for him." She put the necklace on and bent her head and pressed the stones against her cheek. "Tell him I will be good. Tell him I will not spit on this white woman, I will dance for him and forget that ugly stage. Tell Mr. Goldâ€" berg, who is fat and looks lilke a frog, that I will make money for him. Tell him I will give him all of the silvé: dollars that roll to my feet." She paused. "Tell my white man that I am lonesomeâ€"" She thought of the gypsy camp. She went into the bedroom, took the shaw!l from the drawer and wrapped it around her shoulders. She saw the Dummy, his dark eyes upon her, loving her, his lips so speechless. She saw him and Marcu fighting and the dust that stirred about their feet. She saw Girtza and her heart became more lonely than it haq ever been. Walls about her, jholding her in, crushing her. Big Ann, a giantess. No no laughing brooks, no man to hold her in his arms. No man to whisâ€" per words of loveâ€"or to beat her. Marâ€" cu, tall and straight, flinging her to the ground and laughing. Marcu who had said, gypsy women lie, and had put the ring on his finger before he had taken her in his arms. Did he not know the ring was unnecessary? If only then Consuelo opened the black box. Inâ€" side lay a necklace with four squareâ€" cut rubies. She grasped and held it, devouring its beauty. AIY become the star of the the show. T‘l ldberg doesn‘t make them throw their dollars with reckless abaindon. I will not think of that bare place, but of brooks and of trees and through the trees I will emember that the white woman is watching me. Her eyes closed. Her body relaxed. Music began to throb through her and she saw herself dancing. As she danced the stage became the high hill and the palace of marble and she wonâ€" dered at the import of the thing she saw. Was it possible? The dance ended. To her ears came the sound of clapping like thunder and the people were not on the high hill, but before her sitting row after row in the black theatre, Ah, it was good to dream thus! If only the Dummy might come to her now and watch her angq tell her with his eyes that she was the most wonderful danâ€" cer in the worldâ€"he who knew her dream. Her thoughts became muddled. They Her thoughts became muddled. They were no longer coherent. All of this that had happened was a bad nightâ€" mare. She had never left the gypsy camp. She had never sought revenge on Marcu. She was going to marry him now. But the bridegroom who stood sefore her was not Marcu., It was the white man. Over there sitting cross= legged m the dirt by the campfire was the "goldenâ€"haired woman. ~Consuelo went into the van and got the long rawhide whip with its beautiful carved handle and came out and began to beat the white woman. Now she was laughâ€" ing and at each fall of the whip she cried, "This is for that lying word and that one and that oneâ€"" Then there was confusion and somsone else had the whip and it was Anica beating her again in the van and she was crying out from the pain. She opened her eyes and big Ann was shaking her and the sun was streaming in the windows. "You can‘t sleep in your chair lik this, miss. You‘ll catch cold." She picked the gypsy up in her arms andq carried her into the bathroom. She stripped the girl of her clothes and liftâ€" ed her into a steaming hot tub and beâ€" gan to massage the ochre skin. Consuelo, out of eyes half closed with sleep, grinned up at her. "I am beginning to like you, my Ann. It is good to have one to boss me and not ask me first if I will be good."
