How 1t Worked Out

Serge Miltar Engaged" it
read. Gables Actress Sweet
heart from Boat to Announce
Engagement. Famous Bachelor
to Wed Soon."
Walton cut that headline
from the paper and tackled it up
beside the first one. He blew
them both a kiss, bowed low and
went back to work.
When the boat that carried
Serge Miltar pulled into Quar-
antine early Wednesday morn
ing, Maybelle was among the
group of reporters who had been
sent down the bay to meet
him. Walton had managed to
get the precious pass from his
friend, on that morning paper.
The actress was disguised, Of
course, so that none of the
regular reporters might recog-
nize her. And she had her Spe-
cific instructions from Walton.
"You will get in there first"
he told her, "and tell Miltar
that he'll have to say the en-
gagement is on the level. Tell
him you'll break it off as soon
as the publicity dies away.
And tell him that if he doesn't
agree you'll sue him for breach
of promise and hound him
with trouble"
Such were the orders that
Maybelle was to carry out. The
first one she carried out in
splendid fashion. She was the
first in sSerge's cabin. But
from that point she struck out
on her own.
With tears streaming down
her cheeks, Maybelle told the
nice aviator that a bold, bad
man had made her do this
thing. She had begged the bad
man not to make such a ter
rible announcement, but he
had threatened to kill both her
and Serge unless she went
through with it. AS she spoke
she sobbed nightly. She
might have been a Cherry
Sister in front of an audience,
but she certainly did a swell
job in that cabin.
He Gets Drunk
The aviator believed her.
He begged for the name Of the
bad man, but Maybelle shiv.

that nothing could drag it from
her lips. A look Of terror

ExpIains the Idea

"Yes?" murmured the girl.
"Well, that parts all right. But
who is the guy?"
The press agent was vaguely
annoyed.
"Stop fooling, Maybelle," he
asserted. "You must have heard
of him. He's that very famous
explorer and aviator. And he's
one of those babies who has
never been tied up with q dame.
Promised his ailing mother, or
his dying uncle, or something
like that.
"At any rate, he never has
anything to do with the ladies,
even though plenty Of them
have tossed themselves IN ms
path, When your engagement
to him is announced it'll be an
absolute sensation. Plenty OF
the papers will suspect it's a
phoney, but every sheet in the
country will have to print it.
You'll be famous, darling"
Maybelle asked another dis
concerting question.
But, darling" she sald'
what will we do when he ar
rives and denies any such en-
gagement?"
Walton handed out a typical
press agent reply.
well worry about that when
the time comes, baby. Get
dressed and I'll call you back.
I'm going right to work on this.
Bye-bye, baby. Your daddy
loves vOlI p"
The Washington times., 1931-09-02

He Liked MaybeIIe
Thus the situation. Maybelle
was a grand girl and Walton
would have given five years
from his life to land her on
the front pages without going
in for too much scandal.
He shook his head and sighed
again. He picked up another
paper and looked over the front
page. A story met his eye. With
the name changed, the head
line read as follows:
"Serge Miltar, noted explorer
and aviator, to arrive on
Wednesday. Will spend several
weeks in U. S. Mayor to greet
one of worlds most famous
bachelors"
The last word caused Walton
to slide his feet from the desk
and sit suddenly erect. When
a man is world-famouS, he is al
ways a great publicity tie-up.
When the girl is an actress and
the man is single, the result is
almost inevitable. A joyous
gleam crept into Walton'S eyes.
This was Maybelle'S great op-
portunity to make the front
pages. At last the break had ar
rived!
He reached for his phone and
called the sacred number. A
sleepy voice responded.
"Maybelle, darling" cried the
publicity man. wake up, May
belle. I've got the greatest idea
in the world, honey. I'm going
to put you on the front pages.
1.-THE idea hit me in a flash.
Serge Miltar arrives here on
Wednesday. And you're engaged
to be married to him."

The following morning wal
ton had made good on his
promise to Maybelle. It had
been the simplest thing in the
world. He had sent fake
cable from the boat to May
belle. It was written in the
most endearing terms and was
signed by Serge. He had called
a close friend on a morning pa
per and had given him the tip.
That paper printed the engage
lnent announcement on the
front page. And the second edi-
ton of every other paper carried
practically the same line. May
belle was famous at last!
This time the girl called him.
"It's all very wonderful" she
said, "but I'm worried. What
am going to do when that
man gets here?"
"Just you leave it in my
hands, baby" Walton enthused.

Once again he hung up the
receiver and drew forth the
shears. His eyes sought out a
new headline.
