they'll be rather glad to be bought
out instead of going under sher-
IFS hammer"
Rorin,er shrugged. "Well, it's all
news TO ME. 1 suppose Mr.. Rori-
mer will find himself scouting
around for new job pretty soon."
Paul Collier observed dryly:
You're lucky you haven't had to
do your scouting before this" and
at Louises inquiring look Dan ex-
planned.
Il got sore at Adamson and tore
up my contract
yeah, just like that" Paul COM
mented.
Il think he's smart, Johnny
Riddle said. BE independent; that's
my motto. They think a lot more
of you, Dan, if you tell them to
go to the devil once in a while"
"What'n they do, Louise2" Dan
asked.
MISS WATKINS didn't know. Il
1V1 suppose they'll continue to OPP
crate it under the name of Cont
mental, and apply some of their own
well-known efficiency-"
There's room Tor plenty of that"
Dan observed. I beg your pardon"
Or maybe they'll merge it COM
pletely. But that's not very likely;
the name Continental still means
something"
We'll, I'm for it-especially if it
means that Adamson goes out on
his neck"
"And how about you?" Paul de-
manded.
Dan said, My time was almost
up anyway. Only a couple of
months to go ON the contract, and
know blamed we'll Adamson would
never renew it. In fact. I'm expect
ing the air any day-in large and
copious quantities"
He smiled. Paul" he explained
to Louise and Johnny, worries
about me. I'll give him gray hair
yet"
Collier growled. He said that it
took two to run an establishment
such as theirs. I'D like to main

customed to. but 1 can't afford it.
Dan laughed and went to the
kitchen, and Collier, turning to the
others, said, independent, that's
him all over"
Quit picking on him." Johnny
Riddle advised. Il like to see a
man who can tell some of these
I high-powered executives where to
get off and make them like it. !.
How's Dams girl friend getting
along?"
Coming right along. Johnny.
Better keep an eye on her; she'll
make a good client for you"
Johnny can't sign new client
without losing his heart to her"
Louise Watkins said. That might
complicate matters, if she's a
friend of Dams. Who is she?"
Collier said he didn't think
Louise knew her. Anne Winter
is her name. You met friend of
hers one day. over at Continental.
Eva Harley. That blond girl, re-

Louise did.

wood. Its all very well to have a
legitimate publicity business and to
make money at it.
Lots of it. too" observed Louise
Watkins, although he does moth
ing but complain about business. $
She laughed and called to'Dan, who
had appeared in the doorway with
a tray of glasses, to come in.
We're making Johnny Riddle feel
bad. Dan"
1T can't be done" Dan said.
Where there's no conscience there's
no feeling
ID DDLE grinned, started to pro-

Collier commanded. and he con-
tinued. For clients Johnny has
the most beautiful women in the
world"

Stoutly.
and when they're beautiful
and nice" Paul went on. he falls
in love with them. He has a staff
to do all his work for him and he
spends his time playing golf and
