 Any objections to Hamlet?
 Whats the use trying to tell you chaps anything? Choliy got up wrath fully.

Was it in the scenario? Oh, it was. But, Lord, you cant leave us in the lurch like this the last moment! Why. you're half the show!' Birch turned and winked at the glowering comedian. Stick 1t out for a few days longer. SuEe. l promised you straight draws when the chance turned up. Stick it out, will you? .. That's a good girl,'' Birch hung up the receiver and rumpled his hair.

 And new man for me at the same time. And why not tell him at the start just what he's up against?' ?'' said Cholly
 I'll do the best I can. Cholly."
 Bowed His Head
 Alone once more Gas he supposed), Birch bowed his head in his hands. He lived in a den of snarling wolves and splitting she-leopards If he liked a played he never dared show it; if he hated one he had to keep his hatred under cover. If one of the directors wanted a secondhand rail- road engine to throw over a broken trestle, why, he had to go out and hunt for it. About all he did was to sign vouchers, hire actors, dis charge them, settle temperamental disputes, dicker with authors and theatrical managers, plan advertising campaigns, keep supplies at per, fight extravaganza with the acting directors and stinginess with the stockholders.
 For instance, what, in the name of Solomons wives, did these women do with hairpins? They used a million a week. He had been married six teen years, and box of hairpins lasted Mrs. Birch a good six months.
 He wished he had a farm some where and could raise intelligent potatoesl
 "Ahem," came from little east of north, the one drab corner Of Birch's office.
 Birch turned with jump. He saw a young man, good looking, with twinkling blue eyes and a whimsical smile that cried "Irish!" a mile off

tions toward this form of social rec reation, and his friends saw him there but rarely.
 He gave his card to the doorman, who called to another attendant. Brennan walked into the nearest room and sat down to wait. And as he waited, the whimsical smile re- turned from time to time, but a cer- tain grimness began to change it's quality and a hardness settled at his jaws ends.

It wasn't meant to be possible.

 One bright California morning Cholly came into the managing direc- tors office and flung himself dis consoiately into the chair at the side of the desk.
 Whats the trouble, Cholly" asked the managing director wearily.

 They are, or. ought to be. Shco Did the new man fall down?"

The threat Is regarded here as n
bluff TO gain time to ro-cOllect his

The Kailin mines are largely
British owned and operate nine
shafts employing 1900 men. IL is
believed Chang expected British in
torvention to prevent Wu's advance
but It was stated officially at tho
British legation that Great Britain
viii not interfere.
Reports today stated that Wu's
forces are moving northward
through Tien Tsin.
Advices from the north state that
recruiting is going on all over Man
churia TO bolster ,Chang's forces.
While a clash Ia regarded as likely.
no fighting on the new front Is ex-
ucCted for several days.
Ills Position Strong.
His retreating forces occupy strong
defensive positions at the point
where the Peking Mukden railroad
crosses the Lwan river and Lwan
