CHAPTER LII

Gus picked up the squat brown
"a bottle and poured himself an.
other "snifter" before he said any
thing. He seemed to be thinking
over what Bobbie had said to him.
Then he sat down again, his
face so close to hers that she could
feel his breath, warm and whiskey-
scented, on her cheek.
Now. let me get this straight"
he began slowly, looking her
straight in the eye. ''FYou want me
to give you the Gretchen part, not
because I'm crazy about you and
want to do something for you-but
because think you're fitted for it?
Is that it?''
Bobbie nodded, smiling nerv-
ously.
But don't think you're fitted
for it, particularly. I don't think
you could do it half so well as
AS Monica, for instance" he told
her with brutal frankness. I'm
giving it to you as I'd give you any
other gift-because it gives me
pleasure to make you happy. Be
cause I'm in love with you. and
then you tell me mustn't be in
love with you. You tell me A1ust
treat you as perfect stranger.
Excuse me, Bobbie, but I don't see
myself falling for that stuff"
You mean you won't give me
the part simply because you think
l could not do it well?' Bobbie
asked. She wished he wouldn't sit
so close to her. She was still
deeply infatuated with him, and
his nearness made quick, trem-
bling come into her heart and a
lump rise in her throat so that it
was hard for her to speak calmly.
No Actress
II know you won't do it we'll
not without lot of coaching and
training" Gus said promptly.
You're a beautiful girl, but you're
no actress. You're too stiff, and
you haven't any glow and pep on
the screen. Even Roy Schultz says
that, and you remember that he
started out by thinking you were
a world-beater. You notice he
hasn't given you any work lately,

Bobbie nodded silently. She had
strong desire to burst into tears.
1t is very hard to be brave when
some one tells you you are a fail
urea total flop.
"But I'm perfectly willing to take
a chance on you, anyway" Gus
said. II think if we work to-
gether we can make something
out of you-but we can't do it If

lump in her throat seemed to rise
and grow still larger, choking her.

worn blue hat from the top Of the

high and her eyes were dry but

as though to catch her. The other
women were strangely silent and
something seemed to strike into

ice.

NOD Go On With The Story

tHE old ship carpenters eyes

flung back a. though his IS
years of life were as naught in
q sudden renewal of youthful
vigor. "By Godfrey, Anse-boy, ye

ters who loafed about the yard
and spent hours in his hotel room
smoking his cigars and drinking
his whiskey.
AnS0n's Uncle
While the ship was building,
the stars in their courses decreed
that Arson should meet his uncle.
The old clergyman passed the
steps of the Hilton House one
morning just as Arson was com.
ing out on his way to the ship
yard. Peter Campbell, austere as
ever and abating not a jot in his
feelings toward his unregenera-
tive nephew, was nevertheless
arrested in his walk by the sight
of his brothers son. The sudden
nature of the meeting, the long
years of eXpounding Christian
attributes, the acquired habit of
sinking personal dislikes and con-
trolling his antipathies, and more
probably the fact that an audience
was curiously scrutinizing him,
robbed the churchman of his de.
termination to ignore Arson. He
stopped and turned towards his
nephew with somewhat arti.
fetal attempt at Cancellation.
I'm an old man, Anson"-lle
began, holding out his hand.
The others face hardened in its
handsome lineanents and his dark
eyes mirrored an expression of
chilly impenetrability. He calmly
Gshed a cigar from his pocket.
You're an old fool!' he inter-
rupted in a rasping voice. And
carelessly turning his back on the
uncle, he scratched a match on
the veranda post, ignited the cigar
and walked coolly away down the
street.

SAVING THE
EYES

TURN on the radio and shut
your eyes, is the advice Of

eye-saying rules reported In

To rest them, as well as to
avoid distracting sights, close the
