brother and sister from want, and nat
urally inferred that at the last moment
she had been unable to carry out her
intention. He made no effort to find
her and did not even inquire later If
she had returned 10 her home.
| On the morning of the intended wed
ding the postman had left a letter for
Estelle from the manager Of the film
company which had taken her address.
1t was simply a request that she would
call upon him. She went at once, and
be told her that the actress he had en-
gagged had failed to comprehend the
part she was to enact and he would
give Estelle trial. Estelle replied that
she must be given a trial and deci-
sion at once or she would not be open
for engagement
The company was assembled and
Estelle was given the scenario of her
part, which she committed to memory
scene by scene. In the movies a great
deal depends on the power of facial
expression. This turned out to be
gift with Estelle, and at the end of the
third act the manager offered Estelle
an engagement at S25 a week. So abb
sorbed had she been in the play that
she had taken no account OF time.
When this offer was made to her she
asked to be informed of the hour. What
was her establishment to learn that it
was IL o'clock-the hour for her mar
riage.
To appear at the church dressed as
she was was unthinkable, and 1t would
require half an hour to get there. The
manager, who was bent on securing her
for the part, wrote out contract nam
ing $50 instead Of SOS week salary
and placed it before her. Tempted by
the pay, scarcely knowing what she
did, she signed and was launched as
movie actress.
That evening when her mother was
putting the children to bed Estelle stole
into the house and told what she had
done. She was suffering at the posi-
ton in which she had been placed with
regard to Atwood and rejoicing that

This is as near to an engagement as

able attitude in the matter.
The question has been one of long

cities interested and senators at
Washington. It involves the discrim-
nation against Pensacola, Mol lie and
New Orleans prohibiting those ports
importing cattle from South America
while shipment is allowed through

AS the four cities have much in
common it is considered an unjust
