Tea "est from the gordi" > SON OF THE GODS SYNOPSIS. 'When Lee Ying, a prosperous Chinese merchant of San Francisco, announces t a son has arrived at his home, only ficer Dunne knows that the child is really a white foundling. Sam Lee is raised as. Lee Ying's son and sent to Bastern College as a Chinese student. Everett Himes schemes with Esther Ste- yens and her daughter to blackmail Lee Ying, through a supposed affair between the daughter and Sam. Lee Ying foils them but is unable to avert newspaper Bublicity. Sam is expelled from college, oroughly disillusioned, he goes abrouza and becomes assistant to Cyril Bathurst, petieh dramatist. He meets Alanna Tr. CHAPTER XVI.--(Cont'd.) He had taken an instant liking to 8am and when Cyril Bathurst liked a person he made a good deal of him. {The truth is Sam interested the dra- matist: a Chinese boy of high attain- ments with all the outward attributes of an Occidental was a phenomencn wh' "h' afforded opportunity for study and for speculation. It was something mew. Bathurst was not slow to realize that the boy had a "white mind" and that in all but one respect he was an American: here then was an anomaly, & "situation," which could not fail to intrigue any thoughtful man, Bathurst wrote melodramas for intelligent audi- ences but a polite drama in real life was going on right in his own house and he wondered if there might not be a stage play in it. Race prejudice. Religion. Social barriers. Biological variations. Inherited instincts and revulsions that ran back into the core of two opposing civilizations. Bath- wurst, himself, gave little importance to such things, for he was a cosmo- politan .and he had no practical pre- judice to speak of, but he realized that he was an exception and that other people regarded them very differently. With such materials, a skillful and sympathetic writer could build a play of deeper significance than any he had put his hand to and while-he re- stance, was having quite an affair with his protege and what the outcome would be Bathurst had not the faini- ust idea. 4 As for the young man, himself, he neither concealed nor advertised the fact that he was of Oriental parent. age, this being in keeping with hia dignified reserve. Having been entiva- ly frank with his benefactor he as- sumed that the latter was equally frank with their mutual scquain- tances, and inasmuch as the question wag seldom referred to in his pres- ence, even indirectly, he attributed his improved status to that wider toler- ance, that easier grace he had expect- ed to find among cultured Europeans. In this assumption he was not al- together warranted: Bathurst did tell some of his friends, to be sure, but others he did not tell. Any com- ment the truth may have excited never reached Sam's ears, he never noti-ed any coolness on the part of his new happier than he had ever been. He won for himself a considerable popu- larity which was gratifying, but rot [vere surprising, for his manners were perfect, he was an asset to any dinner table and people took to him | readily. As for the Wagner gir], Cyril Bath- urst had never cared for her: she was too sophisticated and too sure of her- self. She was too modern and too highly Americanized to meet the ap- proval of a conservative Britisher like im. | h CHAPTER XVI. The principal guests at the most ex- pensive hotel in Paradis were Albert Wagner and his daughter, Whever the Wagners went, they were the prin- i cipal guests, or at least they spent more money than anybody else, for the gretted the fact that his friendship father traveled in style and he pro- dor Sam precluded the use of them, be nevertheless was fascinated by their dramatic possibilities. He was #he more interested when he learned that women liked Sam and that Sam %iked them. The Wagner girl, for in- vided himself in an elaborate way. He was not offensively ostentatious but he enjoyed luxury, he was inordin- ately proud and his daughter and it gratified him to show her off to the 'best possible advantage. It pleased him to show off all of his possessions, as a matter of fact, und with some reason, too, for they were of the finest. Alanna, for instance, was 3 beauty. Mr. Wagner's business was enormous- ly prosperous and its organization was a mode. of efficiency; he indulged himself in numerous hobbies, and his California estate was famous for its size and its appointments: The house, itself, he had filled with treasures, in his garage were nothing but high- priced cars and in his stables were only the finest of blooded stock. Al Wagner, in short, was prodigiously successful and he lived up to it. There were times when Alanna overpowered him a bit, much as did his magnificent residednce, for he understood her as imperfectly as he appreciated his paintings and his statuary, and he managed her no more skillfully than he managed his thor- oughbreds when he undertook to ride or to drive them. At the conclusion of the famous Wagner divorce the court had given him custody of the girl but control of her and he was too indul- gent, too fond of her to assert himse'f beyond a certain point. Having proven acquaintances and he found himsci?| that a business can be made to grow , and to succeed by the employment of { high-priced execiatives he had applied i the same common-sense principle, as he called it, to the rearing of his daughter--a not unusual practice am- i cng modern parenis who can afford | the expense, In justice to both it may | be said that the procedure had work- , ed out pretty well and that neither | kad any serious fault to find with it. On the whole, both father and daughter were perfectly satisfied with themselves and almost as thoroughly satisfied with each other. Alanna was well educated, well poised, well groomed and well spoiled. She was twenty years old and she had been engaged four times--first to a Her two intervening heart affairs had the others, both fiances having been nice, ordinary fellows, mere mill-run products of her set who danced well. intimate friends and suffered no em- barrassment at meeting them.

The story had been play- _) Seeing may that you don't Her engagement to the prince she had never taken very seriously--he was altogether too dark-skinned--but it had been an interesting escapade, it had provoked much amusing social chatter and had resulted in innumer- able rotogravure pictures. In termi- nating it of her own accord and with- out unpleasant consequences she had fortified her father in the comfortable conviction that she had inherited his common sense and could pretty well take care of herself in any situation. This, by the way, was one of the few beliefs they shared in common. This afternoon, Mr. Wagner looked up from his newspapers as Alanna came through the light-ceilinged Louis XIV drawing room of their suite on her way to their private "lift." She was wearing an effective sport out- fit which he had never seen and he stopped her to admire it. "I like that get-up," he told her. "You look like. a million dollars. Where are you going?" "Over to the Casino." "Meeting that Lee fellow again?" The daughter nodded. Spying ser reflection in one of the mirrors, she approached it and appraised herself critically. i "It seems to me he's giving you quite a rush," Wagner ventured. Still posturing 'before 'the glass, Alanna shook her head in negaticn. "I'm rushing him," she declared. "So? That's out of the ordinary. What ails him?" "I wish I knew. I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me. I seem to look pll right but-- he's an iron fan? "Say! Who is he?" : The girl lifted her brows. She turm- ed a blank, interrogatory gaze upon her father. "Who--is he?" "Yes. What do you know about him?" 1 "Oh! Nothing. . . All I know is he --affects me. I've been waiting t» meet him ever since I was three years old." "Really?" With a frown Wagner laid aside his newspaper. "Is this the dawn of another of your famous in fatuations or----17" "Why yes: I presume it is. He's a ripping tennis player, and a pretly good golfer. He swims well and he dances--Oh, how that man can dance!" The speaker lifted her ey:s heavenward, a sensation of laaguor- ous delicht seemed to flow through her supple body. She shivered ecstatic- ally. "Magnetism: Charm! It! Mec has--everything." "Hm-m! Foreigner, isnt ac?" "Born in San Ffrancisco. Lives in New York?" "Lee! , .. I don't place the name. And I can't make him out either: he talks lize an Englishman or some- thing. But--who is he and wkas is he? . « Has he got any money!" Alanna raised ber brows in mock concern, "I--I never thought to ask him, darling, but I will. I'll do that right away, and let you know," Then her expression changed and she ir- quired, "If he interests me, what dif- ference would that make?" "Oh, I know----" "You saw him win two hundred { thousand francs that night I met him: n "Yes, and I've seen him win half a dozen times since, He behaves him- self like a professional gambler." "He's living with Cyril Bathurst. They're writing a play together." "That doesn't sound prosperous. and meanwhile he's making a play at you, eh?" "No, damn it!" Alanna exploded. "Now see here," her father began protestingly, but she interrupted him, "Say, Reverend, are you off an an- other hallelujah? Why all the sud- friend?"
