Pretty thoroughly licked, he
thought 80 IN more ways than one.
Waiting for Sloan to appear the
next morning. he felt a few misgiv-
iAgs. They had parted friends, but
he had not ceased 10 reproach him.

feared, might not be so pleasant
about 1t now that he had had d
night IN which 10 think matters
over.
But the director was cordial when
he Gaze, and he took Dan to one
size and told him to forget what
had happened
No n has to know a word abou.
II. No one was there but the three
o. Us. II Doesn't have TO 60 any
farther
One Of the camera men gave me
a funny look last night" Dan told
him with a smile. He must have
thought something
That's all explained. I told him
you stumbled over a step in the
dark"
I'm just a sap"
Sure you are Sloan said cheer
fully, but you'll have to take cred
II for one Of the biggest scene in
the picture"
He ran his fingers through his
blond mop OF hair. Shell be A
great actress, yet, Rorimer. Watch
her I guess / was pretty tough on
her last night" he admitted, 'but
sometimes YOU have to be III this
business 49,. Has she been around
today?"
y haven't seen her"
Anne did not appear at all that
day. There was nothing more for
her in the picture now. There re-
NAMED only the war sequences, in
which she did not appear and
which were TO be made on location.
And Dan was relieved that he did
not have to face her. There had
been no talk between them-noth-
ing; he had remained in the back
ground while Sloan brought her
around to doing what he expected
or her.
The following day. though. he
saw her. The publicity department
had arranged a luncheon appoint
ment for her with a newspaper
writer. Anne came early, and
Garry Sloan discovered her and
took her ID the projection room
forthwith to look az the last rushes
and hear his praise.
Great, Anne. Absolutely greatl"
Sloan'S manner said: Tell me,
now. that I was right" And Anne
told him.
From the window OF his office
Dan Rorimer saw them walking
across the court IN the bright sun
light. Sloan had his arm around
her and Anne's face was smilingly
upturned 20 his. she looked very
happy. and Dan. with a queer little
smile. turned back TO his work.
Later on in the day, as he was
passing through the hall down
stairs. Anne's voice called 10 him
from one OF the publicity offices and
she came out TO him.
He said abruptly. II want to
apologize for what happened the
other night"
You needn't Anne smiled nc
him. She did not look tired now.
Her eyes were bright and gay.
II lost my head. that's all. I'm
sorry. ! guess you think I'm an
awful roughneck.
why. DanI You don't telieve
that" She shook her head. And
she added softly. with a direct look
into his eyes: you couldn't be
a roughneck II you tried. Dan. You
you're too much Of a gentleman"
Dan said. THANK you, Anne"
and he left her then and went up
stairs TO his office.
Anne stood there In the hallway
and watched him 20. She stood
there and watched his back disap-
near around the stair corner. and
for some strange reason then she
though. Of the lines OF a song that
Dan had asked her to sing for him
Tre last time she had sung for him
And she knew that she had
been quite blind not to have real
lied that she loved him very
dearly.
So she went to him.
Dan was bending over his type
writer when she came IN. His Ell
bows we're propped on the ledge
and his chin was buried IN his
hands. Anne closed the door be-
hind her and he looked around at
its sound.
