For ten minutes after TarZan's departure, Jane,
Lady Greystoke, restlessly wandered about the
luxurious living room Her mind was in an
anguish of hopes and fears. Her intuition told
her that grave dangers were waiting now for
both her husband and son. Perhaps that tele-

I had the melancholy air of an
ascetic. Even the customary sweater
and Knockers were missing.
The little waitress tossed her
head.
"We1l, rather I used to be in
pictures myself
She was pretty enough. Howell
wondered why she had not con-
tinued her career, not knowing yet
that there is only one reason girls
in Hollywood ever give for having
changed from that profession.
At the moment, however, his in
terest was concentrated in the man
at the other table. 1t was almost
midnight and the place was practi-
cally deserted. What an opportun-
ity to present his case to a we'll
known directorl What a victory to
stroll back into the casting Office
with a letter from him.
Howell ordered and when the
waitress had departed, rose and
walked, determinedly, across the
| room.
Mr.. Walker, may speak with you
a moment?"
Martin B. Walker lifted whimsical
eyebrows and sighed.

"No, sir! My name is Howell

What do you want to see me
about? Work."

''Well, I can't do anything for you.

desperately, 1--WE been up there

haven't even a chance of meeting
anybody, and gave up my medical
studies to come out here"
At last there was flicker OF at
tention in the tired eyes.
Howell explained, concluding
"You see I have to make good.
There's so much at stake.
The famous director regarded him
for moment then to Howells
amazement and JOY, said, quietly:
"Sit down, Mr.. -. What was the
name?"
Sheffield"
ooh, yes! Now, Mr.. Sheffield, I'm
going to do something I practically
never do"
HowelPs face lightened.
Don't misunderstood me I've no
intention of offering you the recon-
mendation you desire. 1 am simply
going to spend a few moments of
my very valuable time telling you
why you'll have to go back home"
He was off, speaking so rapidly
that Howell could scarcely follow

Howell had an inspiration.

eff I had a personal acquaint-
ance with studio executive, would
it make any difference"
Mr.. Collins blew a little cloud of
cigarette smoke into the air.
Unfortunately, yes. If you came
to ME with a request from such
person should be forced to register
you. Central Casting is run for the
benefit of the studios and if a di-
rector wished to use a certain per-
son it is his privilege to register
him and offer him work.
Even so, it would not necessarily
follow that you would make enough
to support yourself. Although SO
q day sounds like a lot of money,
doesn't it?"
VERY good to start with" admit
ted Howell 81 wouldn't expect to
remain an extra long"
We'll, that's where you're wrong
because the chances are ten to one
that once you're an extra you'll re-
main an extra"
Howell said he had reason to be-
iieve he would be an exception.
"They all think that"
"You absolutely refuse to register
me them"
Under the circumstances I can't.
We aren't taking registration and
haven't taken any for months"
His tone had f1nality with which
Howell dared not arc7Ie
Forcing grin, he cried, We'll,
never say die. I'll be back with a
recommendation from somebody"
The other already turning to the
waiting Italian, smiled.
I'm that case, 1t may be different"
DRAVADO! Howell walked to the
ID elevator smarting with defeat!
Against a stone wall! If they would
not even let him register, how would
he have chance to show what he
could do? The man in the casting
office had exhibited patient frank
ness which was more diScouraging
than violence.
The expression in his eyes, the
very tone of his voice, showed that
he had said these same things time
after time, day after day. But,
thought Howell, people DO get in.
What about Jacqueline Bordini?"
Four years ago! The situation evil
IDENTIFY had changed since then. Why
not accept defeat and go on home.
He pictured himself sneaking back
to Fairfax, received with good
natured jibes by the neighborS, with
tears and gratitude at home.
Howell, we're glad. Now you
can go back to school,"

IT should say not!" Not if he had
to walk the streets. He couldn't go
back.
Queer how the passing of few
weeks time could so definitely cut
off retreat. Howell hadn't realized
before just how impossible going
back would be.
The knowledge carried him, So
berry, along the boulevard, mentally
recounting what remained to him
of $500. How many weeks would
that scant sum last, divided by room
and boarS? And board did not in
clude lunches. If only he could re-
frain from eating at noon.
But the very thought of 1t made
him hungry. He wouldn't do with
out food until it became absolutely
necessary. All right, but what was
he going to do? Here was a stu
alton which offered no alternative.
He couldn't be an extra unless he
was registered at Central Casting.

istrations except when recommend

Howell had no such acquaintance
nor any means of making any, I'M
less Sally
But the idea of asking help from
that source made his blood run cold.
After dinner that night he found
himself unable to respond to her
challenge, What luck, Valentino?"
None at ALL he admitted, grim
ly. They aren't taking registra-
tons"
81 could have told you that" she
said, quietly, but I thought you'd
better find it out for yourself"
It was ridiculous the way she was
able to upset him. And he resented
her protective, motherly air even
more than he had her laughter.

said, definitely. Because some way
some time I'm going back there

Her eyes met his, indifferently.

CHE disappeared into the night
- with startling abruptness. It
was raining, but she probably didn't
mind. She was such a poppy, little,
creature, with such seemingly
boundleSs vitality.
Howell Strolled across the yard to
his own room. Turned on the light
above the felt covered table which
served as a desk and began letter
to Eunice.
Hollywood is great! I was in one
of the studios yesterday watching

His pen dragged across the paper
into meaningless scraWls, until sud-
denly he realized he had written

to Eunice.
What was the matter with him,
anyway? With wave of Self-diS-
gust, he tore the paper into Shreds

What he needed was more mas
culine companionship. He hadn't
talked with fellow of his own age
since coming to Mrs. Benton's. He
missed the hilarious fellowship of
the university. Friendships of three
and half years are not lightly
tossed aside.
Selling his college slicker, he
dashed forth into the rain. Walk

HOWELL, staring in the direction

thin man, sitting alone at little
table. His face was worried, almost
haggard looking. His keen, dark
eyes held an expression of sadness.

tion of a movie director could
scarcely be imagined. This man

MORRISON cavern TOB Be

Washington, Feb. 12.-Dan A.
Morrison of Whitehall, now an old
man in broken health, is finally
in line for partial reimbursement
for expense incurred early in the
century in the development of the
large cavern which bears his
name. The claim has been before
congress at various times during
the past fifteen years, but no ac-
titon was taken until Congressman
Scott Leavitt interested himself in
the project.
In the summer of 1927, and
again in 1928, Mr.. Leavitt visited
the cavern, now a part of the

MONT. SCHOOL OF Mines
ISSUES new BULLETINS

The Kevin-Sunburst field has
produced over II million barrels
OF oil of a value between S1.5O and
$500 per barrel, and should pro-
duce 3 to 4 million barrels of high
grade oil in the next 8 years from
the leached and porous upper part
OF the Madison limestone forma-
ton, rather than from the sand
stones of the Ellis formation as is
popularity believed, according to in
formation contained in Memoir
No. 1, a newly published report
OF the Montana State Bureau of
Mines. The Kevin-Sunburst and
adjacent fields are described as un-
usual in that the oil underground
is stored in local zones or areas
within the rock which have been
made extraordinarily porous by
the solvent acton of ground water
on limestone. The pore space in
some specimens examined is said
to have amounted to about two
thirds of the total volume, and
this texture rock is one of the
factors responsible for the large
gushers common to the Kelvin
Sunburst field. Several pages of
photographs, some of which were
taken through high powered mic
roscopes, picture s%trikingly the
character of this rock, and show
not only the spongy appearance
but also some of the fossil life
forms found within the oil bear
ing formation. Two maps in par
ticular have been designed in a
rather unusual manne so as to
show the distribution of some of
these porous areas, and they show
graphically the distribution of
large and small producing wells.
All that area between Great Falls
and the Canadian boundary line,
including the new Pondera field,
is covered by the report.
The new bulletin, written by DR..
Eugene S. Perry, head of the De-
partment of Geology at the State
of Mines, contains over 40
pages of descriptive matter and
seven maps, besides the several
pages of photographs. 1t is the
