Tall Office buildings with wings and
courts have furnished a new worlds

ed instead Of imaginary mes.
Torrance. l paid no entrance fee and
sat alone. My box was the space in
which my desk was placed, and I look
ed through window glass. The stage
was set n story below me which en-
abled me to look down upon it, and it
was just far enough removed to enable
me to see the actors clearly. even to
the expressions on their faces. There
was no change Of scenery from the be-
ginning to the end of the play. The
stage setting consisted Of three rooms,
all of which l could look into. One
was a general Office, with a number of
desks for clerks. Next was a small
room. an anteroom to the third. be-
side the window of which stood a type
writer desk. This room communicated
by a single doorway with the third
room. which was handsomely furnish
ed with oriental rugs and a large rose
wood desk and chairs. The desk stood
beside the window, and on it were a
telephone and a bell with which to call
employees.
Act lat the rosewood desk sits an
elderly and eminently respectable man.
while in the anteroom a young girl Is
seated at the typewriter.
She is the leading lady Of the drama.

must have a name, but it Is only nee

the seconds that interviewed before the
boat could be dropped from the davits
the shark had halved the distance be-

tain and crew realized that before the
boat could reach Kirstell the shark
would have overtaken him.
Still they lowered the boat. but it
was many feet from Kirstell, whose
efforts had brought him almost be-
meath the overhang of the stern. The
shark was less than a dozen feet be-
