galow were less frequent now. Anne did not urge him; and he sup posed she felt that under the cirs cumstances things were better this way.
 Between them had come a slight -restraint, though both had sought to avoid such thing. Dafs man. ner was more deferent of late and hers was somewhat lacking in its old comradeiness.
 Mona inquired about him often. and once or twice she had remarked to Anne that she wondered where Dan Rorimer was keeping himself; but it did not take her long to sense that something had happened, and she refrained from asking questions that might seem pointed.
 Paul Collier, too, felt that things were not exactly as they should be, but Paul had a blunt way of find ing out.
 What's the matter with you and Anne?"
 Nothing. Why?"
 You can't kid me. You haven't been over there for two or three weeks"
 What of it? I see her every day OF the lot, don't F"
 Paul grinned and dropped down on the piano bench. His fingers struck a chord. There's a lot of satisfaction in that, I guess. Come clean; what happened? Did you pro- pose to Anne and get turned down?"
 Dan was silent, and Paul struck another chord. Did you?" he in- sisted.
 And Dan thought there was no point in hiding the truth from him, so he admitted that that was what had happened.
 Paul said, T thought there was something the matter. Well ." He got up from the piano. Sorry if I was too curious"
 Don't be silly. It's nothing to keep locked up in your vest, is it?"
 Collier smiled. Well. you should worry. Think ofH Johnny Riddle and all of those swell clients of his. Johnny's proposals, if laid end to end. would reach all the way from here to Denver. \ think if Johnny threw his heart out the window it would bounce"
 He moved over to the window, rested one long leg on the sill Anyway" he said presently, "Anne's just kid. Give her time, my boy.' ...
 You're a great comfort" Dan told him with a chuckle. She's old enough to know what she wants I guess"
 The little calendar on Rorimer's desk shed its top leaf daily, and September came to Hollywood. With it came the start of produc- tion on his picture.
 He was having his opportunity now to observe the famous Garry Sloan, at work-and Sloan worked. The mans vitality was terrific and it somehow communicated itself to others around him, so that, though they smarted at times under his ruthless cxaction and the lash of his criticism, they responded, as he demanded they respond, in what had come to be spoken of around the Grand United lot as the Sloan tempo"
 There was no other just like him, Rorimer learned. He was tyrant, lordly and impatient and difficult to please. But he knew what he wanted.
 And for that Dan respected him. Between the two there had been a number of conferences, from each of which Dan emerged with more changes for his script. Garry Sloan dominatsd the picture; it was his; hut Rorimer did not clash with him. Despite the curious resent ment he felt toward the director-a feeling that he had never been able entirely to shake-Dan was forced to yield him his admiration.
 He said to Paul Collier: q give him credit. He knows what'll

BEGIN HERE TODAY

Beginning as an extra, Anne Win ter has progressed rapidly and is now under contract to Grand Unit ed, one of the largest of the Holly wood studios. Anne has been living with two other extras, Mona Morri- son and Eva Hafley. The latter, be- cause of a tragic love experience and her failure to make the grade" leaves Hollywood and re- turns to New Orleans.
 Dan Rorimer, former New York newspaper man and now a scenario writer, is in love with Anne, but he has come to regard his feeling for her as a hopeless one, especially since his release from Continental Pictures and his rather unsuccessful attempts to free lance.
 Paul Collier, who writes a daily movie column for a string of news papers, shares Dams apartment with him. He has great faith in Dams ability, despite the latter's discour- agement. A play that he had writ ten for the stage while in New York is returned to Dan, unaccepted, and Anne and Collier read it and are enthusiastic. They urge him to re- wise it for the movies.
 This he does. Eventually the play is accepted. and he is told that he may be offered a contract Knowing that Anne would like to play dramatic role. Rorimer suggests to studio executives that she be given a test for the leading feminine part. Garry Sloan is to di rect the picture. He gives her a test and she wins the role. Sloan is the biggest director in Hollywood and Anne naturally is elated over the opportunity.
 She and Rorimer go out that evening for a drive, to 'celebrate.' Dan proposes that evening, and she is forced to tell him that she doesn't know whether she loves him. She is afraid her ambition for career has put the prospect of marriage in the remote background.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVIII
 Mona Morrison frequently observ- ed, with her customary flippanCy, that Anne Winter needed a secre- tary. but to Anne letter writing was a form of recreation and had been since childhood. There'was a not in considerable amount of fan mail these days, which she attended to personally and briefly; but the weekly letter to her mother and father was fat and invariably re- quired extra postage.
 About Rorimer she wrote;
 Hes as sweet and considerate as he can be - wonderful friend. l feel that it's my own fault in way. but I'm rather helpless to do anything about it. If 1 loved man enough to want to marry him, I think I'd know it, don't you?"
 It was her father whom she really appealed to in telling of Dams proposal. Her letters always Judge Winter knew his daughter much better than her mother did. Mrs. Winter was besets by maternal doubts and misgivings: she expect ed the worst to happen. Her hus- band argued that Anne had mind Of her own and could use it. He rarely counseled his daughter, of fered specific advice only when it was asked for.

NEW HIGHWAY WILL
GIVE UNEMPLOYED WORK.

Clearing a 32-mile stretch of right
of-way for a proposed relocation of
trunk highway No. / in Cook county,
will be started by the Minnesota High
way department this month as means
or relieving an acute unemployment
situation among the fishermen and
settlers on the north shore of Lake
Superior.
Although right -of-way for the new
road was acquired last summer, the
department had not intended grading
it for two or three years, Commissioner
G. M. Babcock states. Due to circum-
stances which left a great many of the
settlers without means of support, how
ever, the department decided to do the
clearing by day labor this winter. Only
local residents will be employed.
The stretch to be cleared runs from
Cross River to Grand Marais. Or
dinarily clearing is included in the
grading contract, but in this case the
grading will be let at some future
time when funds are available. A
highway engineer has been sent to
Grand Marais to supervise the job.
The allotment for the clearing is
$4,000. No. l is now paved to Two
HarborS and graded and bituminouS
treated from there to Cross River.
From Cross River to Grand Marais an
old county road has been used as a
temporary trunk highway, but the in
crease in traffic has made it made
quate.
Work is expected to start this week
and continue until spring.
