 Nothing satisfactory yet?" queried Holdsworth. ... .,c. 7. ,"No, guess I'll go to 1unch." an- swered Don as he started towards his own room.
 As he crossed its threshold his eye lighted once more on the layouts on his desk, and flinging himself into his chair he studied them carefully. Just then Holdsworth passed through the room and noting how Don was engaged, said |:
 ''How would it be to use photo graphs" 2.
 T was thinking of that" replied Far rar, but it's no good. What we need are some stunning wash drawings in color" Well, don't moon over that any long CT. Go and have your lunch. Maybe you'll find some one this afternoon" Holdsworth left the room with an air of unconcern as if he felt sure something would turn up.
 Carefully Don gathered up the papers and placed them in their folder which he slipped into one of the capacious draw CTS in his desk Picking up a cigarette he started to light it and was just about to leave the room when an office boy handed him a slip of paper. "Oh look heren' he exclaimed impa- tiently, "Im going to lunch. I can't see any one now"
 But she's beach," said the artfnl office boy.
 I'm looking for an artist" Don re piled, trying to repress smile. tShe's all that, bet"

Ann replied as she started for the house.
 "Where is Witch Wiggle and where is Witch Grundy" the Captains nice mamma asked of the little brown man. "I heard them awhile ago say they were going upstairs to take nap" he told the Raggedys.
 ''Then we will run right up and see them!" Raggedy Ann cried.
 When they reached the Witches room, there, instead of the two ugly, long -nosed Witches, were two very, very pretty girls, fast asleep.
 "Sh!" Raggedy Ann whispered, "Less go down stairs and prepare fine par ty supper of ice cream puffs, and all kinds of goodies, so when the Witches awaken we can give them a great sur prise and have a fine party for them v
 So they tiptoed down stairs and made taffy and all kinds of goodies, then sat down and waited for the pretty Witches to come down.

 That was all right, Farrar."
 ''Van swore the changes would ruin the illustrations. I told him that was nonsense and all of a sudden he seized the drawings and tore them up."
 But couldn't you have stopped him?'
 Stopped him?" reiterated Farrar. T was standing at one end of the room and the drawings were set up against the wall on the far table. l jumped across the room but he was beside them and quick as a flash he showed the bits of cardboard into his pocket. 1 grabbed him and told him to hand them over, but he yanked himself free and telling from the room."
 "Some movie you'd had," smiled Holdsworth. "Surely he must be bit off. But what are we to do? Do you think we could get them back from him and patch them up temporarily so l could show them to MT. Brown?"
 Guess not I went to his studio later in the day, thinking maybe he had come to his senses, for you know, I don't believe he's making pile of money and he has a wife to support. She met me and I told her what l wanted. but he refused to see me. I talked to her quite while and begged her to per- suade him to let me have the drawings. I hung around for at least an hour. When she appeared again she said that he refused absolutely to give them up. told her I'd gladly increase the price we'd agreed to pay him-you know it was pretty generous-but she said noth- ing would induce him to let us have the drawings"
 "Well, you'll have to get some one else to do them"
 Don Farrar groaned. "That's just what I've been trying to do-been inter-

A tall, well-built man about thlr- ty, he wore dark-rimmed glasses that seemed to accentuate the deep blue gray of his eyes. Rising suddenly, from his chair he strode to the window, then with a muttered exclamation turned again to his desk An air of tension marked each movement. Opening a folder he took out the rough lay-outs of some striking ads. Placing them on the desk, he had started to make notations on a pad when an office boy entered and said:
 "Mr. Holdsworth's here now and would like to see you if it's conven- ient." !
 "All right" answered Don as the boy left the room.
 "Well, Farrar," said Holdsworth in a cheery tone, as Don stepped into his office, whats this hear about the Fairyform campaign?"

 "Well, I've no drawings now. Van brought them in and I was most en- thusiastic about them. They were beau ties, too. With your copy and Vans drawings I knew we could swing the contract.
