director released him on the third
day. It was now half year since
he had enjoyed an income. and in the
meantime his capital had dwindled
almost to tho vanishing point.
Abruptly he sensed that. as a sweep
ing generality, he wasn't wanted. He
was capable Of giving lectures on
dramatic composition and the tech
niQue of tho modern play. but nobody
wanted aim to illustrate his educa-
ton. One manager told him to his
face that he wasn't good enough to go
out with a second company to play
the cities: and another told him that
he was wasting time when he tried
to got an engagement from anybody
who had ever seen him act.

clearly to his ears. They were barely
arm's-length distance from him, con-
oeaied BY an anglo Of canvas; they
thought that Picard was safe upstairs
in his dressing room.

without animua "Oh. he tries hard
enough, but when a man can't read his
lines and can't act, what's the sense Of
paying him $500 week to be a cigar
store Indianf' Every time he goes on
he slows up the action like an emergency
brake"
The director murmured a response
and the woman spoke again. We'll,
think we've found man, finally,
and I'm going to see that Stuart gets
his notice tomorrow. I'm sort OF

since I was sixteen. But IL you'd
stayed with us, Stuart, you'd have
gone up faster than 1 have. They all
said so. I say SO myself"
That's nice" said Picard absently.
DO you ever wish I'd persuaded
you to stay:' .-
You couldn't have said Picard,
and sighed reminiscently.
- Benham laughed. You're stubborn
as ever. Stuart. Tell me, are you
satisfied with your success? Have
you got all the prestige and soon
you wanted-or do you sec 1t in
sight:"
II haven't changed my mind yet,
anyway" said Picard. but he did
that Benham might possibly choose
to be honest again Picard knew very
well that his name was far from be-
ing a household word, but he wasn't
anxious for Benham to tell him SO.
by the way, that's a mighty nice
girl you've got IN your Office"
Benham raised his head. Miss
simply couldn't get along without
her. .
She's got the finest business 5udg-
ment, and the keenest judgment Of
people -.
"Oh. nonsense!'". said Picard, with q
grimace. "T use to be in the insur-
ance game myself. There isn't a
business judgment. Some of 'em may
have enough personality. or magnetism,
or whatever you call 1t. to get away
with murder, but 1 don't call that
business judgment"
Benham gave another laugh. Aren't

you use to be-"

a good bit Of life since the old days.
and knows what I knows-and

Benham gravely.

THEY parted on tho best Of terms,
i and Benhan agreed to see the
show as soon as possible, and Picard
mentioned his desire to redeem his
pledge and give a testimonial banquet
to those Of his friends who still re-
mained In the insurance ONCE. He
couldn't refrain from being a wee
bit lordly about 1t: but afterward he
was pertinent. because he knew that
he hadn't yet done anything to be
lordly-or even modest-abodt.
He had been engaged TO replace in
q comedy which had already run for
a hundred nights an eminent star
who was entitled to vacation. It
was a brilliant opportunity for
Picard; the Job was temporary. but
he knew that II he handled 1t well.
IL meant q season on the road at the
head Of the second company. and after
that the sky for q perspective. He
knew that he needed only a single
victory on Broadway to put his In
come on level with Benham's and
his fame on q level infinitely higher.
Picard wasn't exactly Jealous Of BEN
ham. but in view OF what had befalIen
both Of them. he was inclined to be
a little Jealous Of himself. He re-
joiced that Benham had done 30
extraordinarily well, but he was also
disturbed by what Benham had said
about Picard's own souandered
chances in the insurance business.
Benham was already an executive.
and Picard owned scarcely two
thousand dollars in tho bank but
here At last was the crossroad where
the tramc regulations allowed the
worm to turn. He told himself shat
under no conditions would he ever
permit himself 70 gloat ever Renham;
but he would dearly love TO put him.

was based he held firm to his belief
that any woman. even Bertha, and,
perhaps. especially Bertha. because he
knew her better than he had known
any other woman, was essentially in
capable Of any sound decision. Already
she knew him more accurately than he
had ever known himself. and she could
have administered his affairs, and the
affairs Of twenty others like him, with
out apparent effort and with excep-
tional results. but Picard wanted the
best executive secretary in New York
to be helpless bride, and she loved
him enough to make herself as helpless
and dependent AZ she possibly could.
So he left tho stage and became GUS

said Picard, cor heard from him for
six. What Is he now, anyway"
Hes fourth vice president" said
the girl, casually.
The revelation took Picard's breath
away: he sat down hard. and stared
at the Autographed calendars on the
wall. He wondered how long ago 1t
was that he had fallen ipto the habit
of being sorry for Benham. To be
sure. Benham must be thirty-six.
while Picard was only thirty-two. and
yet, eight years ago. they had worked
side by side on a common footing.
Picard's immediate grandeur was
ggently shaken by the thought that
his friend had acquired power by
staying at home. ...-.

Picard scowled at the calendars,

swung open. ana Benham was on the
threshold. and Picard forgot the silent
years which had gone between them.

but he had reNeQ upon nls enerSoe1S
ambition and his common sense. and
It bruised his self-respect to be con-
s,dered q blockhead. Some men might
have resented the epithet by q dis
play Of fists: Pickard resented II by
devoting eighteen hours a day toward
making 1t inapplicable-
II was only q few months ago that
he had starred as "Crichton" In the
greatest Of all tho Comedy Club pro-
ductions, and now he was estimated
too wooden to be allowed to walk on
as the messenger in Mrs. Temples
Telegram" He shuddered to realize
that while he had been a petted ANA
tour and the recipient Of praise which
hardly stopped short Of comparison
with Gillette and Drew. he had been
ignorant Of the simplest fundamentals
Of the profession. He was successfully
charmed. dazed. humbled and despond-
ent: indeed. except for that paramount
stubbornness Of his, he would certainly
have deserted the stage at the end OF
the first week and gone limping back
to the insurance business. As 1t was,
Ia wrote Benham that 1t took more
Intelligence to be q bad actor than
n did to be q good insurance solicitor.
and Benham knew that 1t was futile to
afKue with him.
By the end Of the second week Of
AfIirent labor Picard found himself
family encouraged. because the director
had stopped yelling at him about his
hands and feet. BY the end Of the
month he had begun. to carry himself
with q mildly dsprecatins. assurance.
