DR.. Maxine Menard. eminent French
roentgenologist, began to study the
X-ray In 1880 when he was % years
old. In 1910 his hands began to show
signs of Inflammation. In 1914 one
finger was amputated; in 1916 another
finger was cut of and his left eye was
removed. He died in September. 1926,
having received from his government
the sum of $4,000 francs and the Cross
of the Legion Of Honor just before his
/ death.
The English roll Of honor for work
with the X-ray includes among many
others the names of Reginald @. Black
all and j. Hall Edwards. Their stories,
too. are typical. Mr. Blackall began TO
note Inflammation of his hands In 1902,
H. had associated with him two tech
nicians named Hanrak and Wilson.
They died early in 1928, AZ the time
of his death both OF his hands had been
amputated. In 1923 the Carnegie
Hero Fund had given him its certificate
and S375 a year. Later the hospital III
which he worked gave him Si,425 a
year. But he died In December. 1928,
and therefore did not live long to enjoy
these pensions.

before Blackall His trouble began With
x-ray burns In 1900, when his sacri-
fees were recognized by the receipt of
the Queens medal with four clasps. In
1905 his left arm was amputated,

the Hale and Hart Revue. 1t was the
jewel atop the coronet. 1t was public
recognition of the fact that the team
name was the chief box-office attrac-
ton.
Even the theatrical world was bow
ing down before this newest and great
est of musical comedy teams. Betty
Hale was known from coast to coast
material wealth poured in to her. She
had unbelievable vaudeville offers, ten
ders of contracts from motion picture
producers, an opportunity to star in a
legitimate Broadway production.
She would have been less human had
she failed to derive thrill from the
largess of a beneficent Fate. But, with
the passing of the months, her mind
dwelt more and more upon Jim.
For over year now she had not
heard from him directly. Thrice she
had written: begging him to return to
her. humbling herself because of her
love. RE had not even answered the
letters lGrimly. he refused to encour-
age her. The little sign from hinl-the
meager hint-that was all that she
asked Of life, was not forthcoming.
Her desire for Jim was almost phys
ical ache. Her triumphs were empty.
Praise, success, money-they meant
nothing. She prayed that he would some
day awaken to realization of his own
selfishness-would understand that he
had no right to withhold himself from
her.
Hers was a love eager to forgive-and
she knew that his stubborn pride for
bade him to yield. That he loved her.
she did not doubt. But she was afraid
--fearfully ysafraid-that he would never
permit his reserve to crumble.
She knew that he was still working
as ticket-taker in the Philadelphia bur-
lesque house. She knew definitely that
his salary was now SIS a week. Hers
was S2.500-for as many weeks as she
cared to work Each week she banked
more than he earned in year.
She went into rehearsal of the new
show that was destined to establish
her once and for all among the truly
great of the musical comedy stage. But
her heart was not In her work. Success
was no longer a novelty-and 1t was
now without SAVIOR. She wanted only
one thing in the world She wanted
the man she loved and to whom she
was married--and he denied himself
to her.
And IL. during rehearsals. she did not
seem to have her usual buoyancy-thst
vas because she was watching and wait
ing and hoping and praying for the tinv
little sign from Jiin--his signal that
everything was all right
Yet. with the passing of the days.

" telling the world how good he was.
Between Eddie and Betty there devel-
oped a rare friendship. He never knew
whether 1t would have transcribed that
on his part had he given his emotions
free REIN The fact that he didn't in
dicated that he possessed common sense
and an understanding Of the girls ma
ture. He knew that the single cloud
in her life was the love she had for
her husband-and the fact that circum-
stances had separated them.
Hale and Hart received new con-
tract at three thousand week. And,
as though that were insufficient before
their bookings expired, a great producer
of revues came to them with an offer
that opened the gates of theatrical
heaven.
They were to be starred In lavish
revue.
To any person engaged in any branch
of the theatrical profession. the op-
portunity to star on Broadway Is some-
thing that cannot be described in mere
words. Betty Hale and Edie Hart ac-
cepted and signed their names to the
new contract. Then they set about
completing their vaudeville bookings
while the new production was being
made ready.
TT was then that Betty Hale took stock
of herself and her life and realized
that without her husband the wine OF
success was bitter. She had heard oc-
casionally from Jim. but she didn't
know where he was or what he was
doing. She addressed him at branch
station post ONCE box.
She went to the Office of a firm OF
private investigators. They put one OF
their best operatives on the case. ana
he went to Philadelphia. He returned
very shortly with terse and heart
breaking report.
Hes working as a ticket-taker In

than $25 a week. Cheap boarding

The following morning she presented

to him, "Arep't you going to kiss ne?"
He brushed her lips with his.
and only the trembling OF his big body
told her of his fight TO keep from
crushing her TO him
She sat down on the edge OF his bed
and gazed refiectively at him. He was
thin. His eyes were sunken and his
shoulders dropped. after the manner OF
men who have fought good fight and
lost.
She was hungry for him, yet found

from your deadwood."
"Meaning?"
Jim Hale"
Even white teeth closed over hel
lower lip. The color drained from her
cheeks and she spoke in a strained
little voice.
tt can't do that"
why not?" Obviously the agent
had prepared In advance for an argu-
ment. Jim is a nice feller-I'd be the
last one TO say he wasn't. And / guess
he's a good husband. But you got
your career to think of, Betty. 1t sure
couldn't do him any harm for you to
be a great actress. Lemme see-your
act is making hundred and fifty now,
amt it?"
Yes"
That's seventy-five a week apiece
The act I got in mind for you would
draw down a thousand to start with
and double that in a year. If 1t clicked
Jim could afford to lay off and still
put money in the bank"

DEITY wanted to be convinced She
- adored Jim. but she had the soul
of a vaudevillian. Therefore she was
easy prey to false logic She knew in
her heart that 1t wouldn't be the same
it couldn't be the same. AS from
great distance she heard the earnest
voice of the booking agent.
This is one of my prettiest schemes,
Betty. I had Eddie Hart go out and
look you over. He's nuts about the
scheme"
THAT riveted her attention. "Who?"
she asked, with a little catch in her
voice.
The agent smiled inwardly. Eddie
Hart. He's the guy want you to team
UP with. Fifty-fifty split of salary and
billing"
Eddie Hart! A name to conjure with.
One of the best singles in the country.
But-Dut--- SI1e StdmmeTeu, anu

II know exactly what you're gonna
say. Eddie makes thousand single.
But he's a classy kid and he looks
ahead. He sees the same thing / do.

Betty rose and walked to the window.
She stared down Broadway and
glimpsed the great sign before the
Castle. She half-closed her eyes and
