NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN (Conttn-
ued)

She had found there was one way
In which she could work off her
restlessnesS. There was a small
pond frozen over not more than
six blocks away which was used by
the youngsters of the neighborhood
as a skating rink.
Judith was an expert skater. She
had formed the habit Of slipping
away from the house each after
noon and skating for an hour or 50.
Until 4 O'Clock she could have the
place almost entirely to herself.
Then the children began to arrive
from school
There we're delays about the
house on Wednesday and it was
later than usual when she finally
managed to get away. She walked
with a slightly guilty sense, hoping
no one would think it strange that
young Mrs. Knight adopted such
juvenile pastimes.
Judith reached the pond, adj
1usted her skates and cut out grace
fully across the ice. She circled
the rink, then swung into lazy,
graceful figure Fights.
Three or four children ap-
preached, looked at her question
ingly and then took to the ice. The
youngsters, noting the unknown
young woman's skill, kept at a re-
Spectful distance.
Judith decided recklessly to re-
main another half hour. There
would still be time to dress for din
ner and the ice today was perfect.
1t was after 5 o'clock and the sky
had begun TO darken when at last
she tramped homeward. Judiths
cheeks were flushed and her eyes
sparkled.
At the turn of a corner she
rushed almost headlong into a
young man.
"OhI" cried Judith.
MY fault-why, how do you do,
Mrs. Knight"
Andy Craig had removed his hat
and halted before the girl. She
stood for a moment looking up at
him silently. Before his steady
gaze the color left Judith's cheeks
She glanced away hurriedly.

Through her bitter tears Of disappointment
dawned hope in Lady Greystoke's heart-per-
haps some miracle had occurred to snatch her
baby from Roko1's hands at the last instant be-
fore the Kincaid sailed from England. Pres
emily the infant began to bounce up and down
in the Swede's arms, leaning forward with little
hands outstretched toward her. She gathered
the baby to her breast.

James heart stood still as she saw the baby
which had shared her escape from the Kincaid.
It was not her own-not the son OF TarZan!
When she recovered consciousness she cried in
anguish to her rescuer, the Swede cook: Where
is my baby? You knew that this was not mine!"
The Swede's blue eyes stretched in surprise. Not
yours?" he said. st tink he belong to you-there

wilderness, days following nights in tortuous
slowness. Little by little, through his unfailing
kindness and sympathy. Jane came to see the

Dan made his changes right on
the sets. Collins, remarking that he
was quick and intelligent and facile,

Dan smiled. Il wrote a play, but

Collins nodded. Maybe it helped
you more than you know
When Dan met Frederick Atwood,
the famous screen idol entirely dis
armed Rorimer with the warmth
of his greeting. He shook hands
cordially. said he had read Rori-
mer's story, "Grim Holiday" and
liked it.
Good story. Good writing" His
words were clipped, precise, his ac-
cent British.
Rorimer felt little ashamed; but,
studying the almost feminine beauty
of Atwood's perfect features, yet
persisted in the conviction that the
man had been miscast
He went back to his hotel that
evening, tired but elated. He hadn't
realized the tension he had been
working under until he was driving

understand they're working on a
cold light now. TIN be great If
they perfect 1t.
This morning I was shooting a
restaurant scene, and an extra girl
playing waitress was supposed to
come on id pick up tray. Well,
the table had been under the lights
for a little while-and did she drop
the tray! 1t was hotter than fire.
She said a few things, too
What caused Dan Rorimer to
smile now was the fact that after
three or four days Of being treated
like visiting celebrity he had been
abruptly forgotten.
The scenario chief, showing him
to the little office, had said, well,
Rorimer, this is yours. I'm sending
in bunch of scripts; you can study
them to see how it's done. Well be
making you work pretty soon-and
this is fine little place to sweat.
Rorimer now looked about him.
A fine place to sweat A fine place
to sit and wonder if they ever ex-
pected to use you! Four plain walls,
adorned with a few framed pic
lures of movie celebrities. A door
at one end. a window at the other;
beside the window, his desk.
Someone now stuck his head in
at the door. 1t was Gregg, the
scenario chief.
He said: Il suppose you're ready
to give them a hand-you knew that
Murray was sick?"
Yes said Roriner. I'm darned
glad to get to work"
Gregg smiled. He was gray and
well groomed, with lined cheek
and a perpetually worried look in
his eyes, from frequent tits with
the studio manager.
''You may get more than you're
looking for" he said. Il just wanted
to warn you about one thing; don't
get sore if they ask you to make
changes in your story. Maybe
don't need to tell you that"
Il hope not" said Rorimer.
"Well, it's not pretty to write a
nice magazine story, or book, and
have somebody kick it all around
for you. But try to remember that
the production of talking picture
is an expensive proposition; this one
will run more than $4,000 a day
and it'll probably exceed, its budget
at that. Collins is the direc-
tor

ID reason to think even more high

during rehearsals the director had

CHAPTER FOUR

TT was Monday morning. Re-
l. hearsals were to start that day
for Grim Holiday" Dan Rorimer,
settling down at the desk in his tiny
office and staring out of the window
at drizzle of rain, looked back on
two weeks Of idleness and fervently
hoped there would be work for him
in the forthcoming production.
Even if a lot of changes IN the
script were necessary, he wouldn't
mind-not unless they changed the
framework of his story.
1t at least would make him feel
like an essential part Of the ma
chinery Of this organization instead
of a human fifth wheel, forgotten
in a little coop of an Office with a
typewriter, desk and a couple OF
chairs, and window that looked
out upon numerous parked Gutomo-
bileS.
When Continental Pictures bought
his story, the executive at the New
York Office had informed him that
the studio contemplated immediate
production. Rorimer had thought
Immediate production" meant just
that, and was surprised to find on
his arrival that nothing had been
done beyond the preparation OF the
scenario. He had read that, had
been impressed by its technical
craftsmanship.
Looking back over those two
weeks, Rorimer smiled a little Bit
terly at the recollection of his re-
ception at the Continental lot. He
had been introduced to the pro-
Queer, no less, and that important
and busy individual had ordered
that Rorimer be shown the sights.
The studio manager had invited
him to lunch, introduced him to va
rious directors and scenario writer's
at the table, who had greeted him
pleasantly, pausing long enough in
their game of throwing dice to see
who should be stuck for the meal

'AIRSHIP SAFER
THAN PLANE ON
I ATLANTIC HOPS
RICO Adds to Proof That
DirigibIe Is Logical
Ocean Carrier.
By Science serrics

Bv Science Serrice
WASHINGTON, Aug. Tine safe
arrival at Montreal Of the British
airship RICO, after a nonstop
flight Of 300 miles, from Carding-
ton. England, shows again that the
day of regular .trans-A Atlantic travel
by airship is not far distant.
Since the RICO, one Of the two
largest airships in the world. is an
experimental ship and in many re-
spects is unlike any other ever built,
the success Of this trip well estab-
lishes the present superiority Of the
airship over the airplane for trans
Atlantic travel.
However. the only airplane that
Can carry nearly as many passengers
as an airship. the giant German
Dornier DO-X, is yet to make
flight from Europe to America. Her
performance will be watched with
even more interest than that which
now attends the RICO.
Airship Is Safe
Safety proclaims the airship as
the logical means Of crossing the At
lantic by air. With the arrival Of
the R-lOO bearing forty-four per-
sons, about AIS people have crossed
the north Atlantic nonstop by air,
II is reported.
OF this number, statistics show,
approximately 442. or SO per cent,
havn made ff,a v,occuoo I,tf aiy-cI7ff1
and only about 80, or per cent,
have crossed by airplane.
There have been nine attempts to
fly the North Atlantic by rigid air
ships and all have been successful;
no lives have been lost. Thirty
seven attempts have been made to
fly by airplane and only thirteen
OF these have been successful. The
great loss Of life resulting from the
airplane attempts is well known.
Carries Pay Load
None of the airplanes carried a
pay load, while the Graf Zeppelin
on each of its five trips took TWEEN
ty passengers and several tons of
. mail ana express seven persons on
the RICO are observers. Two other
crossings were made by the British
R-34 and one by the U. S. S. Los
Angeles.
The chief innovation in the design
of the RICO is its "fatness." The
Graf is a slender cigar, while the
RICO curves throughout its entire
length in graceful lines.
1t is about seventy feet shorter
than the German ship and a third
larger in diameter. This feature
IS said to give it great strength to
resist shearing stress, similar to
that which caused the Shenandoah
disaster in the United States.

STATE PAVING COST
CUT 1888 PER MILE

Contracts for 65.4 miles of 20 foot
concrete pavement, to be built in 1880
were awarded last week by the Min
nesOta Highway department, at pric-
es lower than either the 1880 jobs let
in October or the 1929 jobs let last
spring. Accessibility of materials on
all the jobs in the December list
helped to bring down prices, but bet
ter bids are generally received when
work is let in the fall or winter, Com
missioner c. VI. Babcock states.
Last weeks letting brings the total
paving let for 1880 construction to
1898 miles of twenty foot width and
80 miles of 81 foot slab. The aver
age contract price for 20 foot pave
ment for 1880 is $16.395, while the
average cost per mile $24,11O. The
average contract price for 20 pave
ment built in 1929 was $24,333. Due
to uncertainty as to the department s
funds, the 1929 contracts were not let
until spring.
Bids were also opened on several
bridges and one thing job. The list of

Frank Osborne, well h.own Lake

Cook and Jerry Shannahan of Lake
Crystal, and told them of a wolf,
which had been killing pigs and pouI-
try in that community. The three
men took their guns and wolf hounds
into their car and went to the scene.
After hunting for some time Jerry
Shannahan fired a shot which was
followed by a series of yelps, and
Frank Osborne ran over to fire the
killing shot. Upon examining the
wolf it turned to be a German Police
dog. The hunters pass the mistake
onto Mr.. Osborne for they claim he
should know a wolf when he sees
one.

visited Hultin's room early in the
morning, at which time he was asleep.
When he failed to come down after
