CHAPTER IV-Continued.
Copyright. 1909. by Augustus Thomas

The day after their meeting at the
theater Miss Fullerton and Mr.. HOl-
comb met at lunch as per agreement.
There was an amplitude Of formality
throughout the function that would
have satisfied anything less than the
o~verdeveloped and specialized Greek
sense of fate that obsessed Aunt Cor
nelia.
my play has been accepted" said
Holcomb, with an intellectual genu.
fexion. when he had ordered a lunch
that was admirable in its omissions.
He had not reached the high point Of
dramaturgy that is gastronOmically
marked by the intrusions of soup and
game and calculated to rouse the ire
Of gormandic Genealogy stretching
from Athanaeus to Vatel.
Yes Dora was genuinely. truly
interested. and. cursed as she was with
the name that Dickens sacrificed in
the fire of fiction. she was moved only
by a woman's best instinct to see a
man she liked. if not loved, reach his
goal.
II want you to play the leading
part" he added.
The lunch. Holcomb, everything
swan about Dora for a moment. The
statement and the emotion that It
aroused had the same quality that the
lyrical conception has in it the poet
1t hit her, as DR.. Holmes would have
said, like a bullet in the back of the
head"
you know" said Holcomb to Dora,

my life, but the thing that | have most
wanted to do was a ~play-that is, to
put a play or the stage and have a
real audience pass judgment on it. |
have come very near production a
number of times, but the managers al
ways had some excuse or other for
sending back my manuscript. In q
way | feel that I owe this first pro-
duction to you. While we were re
hearsing my manuscript was sent back
to me. They said that the woman in
it was not real and asked if | could
get a real woman in it; if so. it would
be a good play. All the time we We're
rehearsing | was studying you and
writing, and before we left New York
had practically rewritten my play.
So, you see. that is why | want you TO
play the leading part"
1t was a few minutes before Dora
was really able to join In the CONVEX,
sation.
But you have nevet told me the
story, and yet you say that you have
altered the leading part to make II
look like me-"
He only wanted that invitation To
plunge into his recital, and what had
been intended as a formal lunch drift
ed into an all afternoon session. He
talked to her about his play and his
ambitions and she of her ambitions and
the things she would like tc do, and
finally they separated, he to make
ready his play and she to wait at Len.
OK for the call TO rehearsal.
Thus began n partnership which was
destined vitality to affect both their
ambitious young lives.

- affairs that he might almost
be said to have forgotten her. He had
been told hat he would get a certain
royalty, that the play would have a
most adequate production, that he
would have his choice Of actors, etc.
When, however, he got down to details
with his manager, or, as he learned to
call him afterward, his producer, he
found that his wings were clipped at
almost every point. Not only once,
but half a dozen times. he almost felt
that the game was not worth the can
die, that he would throw it up and
that all the allurement that there was
