When Tony Hull entered Mr.. Da-
Wilson's private office at the studio
the following morning about half
past q, he passed Irene l0unging in
an easy chair in the reception room.
This, however, ~occasioned him M
surprise, since word that Mr.. David
son had arrived. bringing his new
recruit along with him. had spread
through the studio like wildfire. a
few moments after his limousine had
driven through the gates.
Tony greeted her with a curt nod.
an equally curt good morning. II
might have been better policy on his
part 70 have concealed his dislike for
the girl, but he was a poor hand at
dissimulation, and his reasons for
not liking Irene Shirley were deep
seated. She. on her part. gave him a
disarming smile, but the flash in her
eyes. had he seen il, might have
warned him that ii a fight was "a
come, she would be quite ready for

Dir. Davidson, behind his huge bare
lesk. seemed to have been rcjuve-
mated by his trip. Instead of his
usual s0mber black he wore a fash
ioEably cut suit Of blue mohair, and
his shirt and tie reflected colorfully
the bright mood in which he found
himself on this warm spring day.

HIN" Davidson scratched some
figures on a pad. And IN how much
Of that foOtage has Miss Dare

IN Tony's breast as he realized the
purpose of the question.

got 20 scrap. II ! give Miss Dare'S
