the newspaper owners son.

''He's just full of temperament"
The old newspaper man Indignantly

more favor tonight, in reference to
little actress friend of mine, Miss
Gueneviere Mckenzie" #
''Oh-come- DON'T )
''Run her picture in prominent
place, won't you?" Sylvester handed
Brand a photo. Miss Gueneviere Nc
Kenzie. Don't you know her? She's
in the second row at the Tyroll, and
it's darn shame. I've got Iibretto
for her later on. Can't you help her
out and get her small part now?,
"Tm afraid that is hardly in my
line" -
you'd be doing a favor to the
show, for she's good enough to be a
prima donna. She's been Kept back by
jealousy. Told me so herself When
will you have it in-tomorrow?'

sort of thing in the Advance. We
don't print pictures of chorus girls
unless there's some good story about
them-lost jewels, barred from a ho-
tel on account of a dog, divorce orr
Sylvester broke in relievedly, "Oh,
she's been divorced!'
''Has she! When?" #
"Last year."

Brand was impatient because of the
precious time that had been wasted.
He had work to do and little time in
which to do it. and it was the most
