Bought For Paul Mellon
The Virginia estate recently
purchased by Secretary Mellon,
was bought ostensibly for his
son, Paul, a student at oxford,
England, but friends of the
family believe it will be head
quarters for the entire family,
with Paul in the role of host.
Secretary Mellon, by the way,
is planning to go abroad in
June to be present when Paul
receives his sheepskin from the
learned English university, and
Mrs. Bruce will, in all probabil-
ity, accompany him.
May Breed Horses
Upon their return the family
will go to Virginia where Paul,
it is said, may decide to go in
for breeding thoroughbredS.
A not remote possibility, as
everyone with the wherewith-
all in that section is devoted
to horses, first, last, and before
anything else.

possession of their place at

RENO, Nevada, June 27-Gov. Fred B. Balzar today warned Max Baer and Pauline Uzcudun he would have them "yanked out of the ring" if they showed, during the Independence Day battle, any evil dence of not giving their best.

 Gov. Balzar said there were ru- mors the fight has been fixed, which he did not believe, but he warned the fighters they would have to do the best in them.
 Remember you will go if there is the slightest indication that any thing is wrong" the Govern warned.

Chapter 6 TONY LOSES A STAR

Again he, Antonio Latour, and Harriet Noel were to play opposite each other as they had played in their school days in the Orchard Hill Dramatic Club
 Antonio, considering his Cincin- nati engagement, thought of the rehearsals, the intimacies necessary to the plays and the inevitable in 'timacies outside their roles. He thought of the emories which their professional relationship would arouse-of their theatre at the foot of the hill-of their experiences in the Orchard Hill Dramatic Club productiuns--of thousand incl dents in their young lives which they had experienced together.
 At last in the Cincinnati Play hou5e, Antonio and Bob Marshal, another member of the company,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-06-27

were chatting before the first re- hearsal.
 You have met Miss Noel, our leading lady, I suppose?" said Bob casually.
 "Oh, yes" Antonio tried to make his reply as casual as Bob's inquiry but something in his voice caused his fellow-actor to glance at him curiously.
 Hum -m-and do you know this fellow Donovan?"
 T knew Roy Donovan several years ago." Antonio returned quiet ly.
 But again Antonio's companion locked at him curiously and seem ed to be searching his memory for Something forgotten. He spoke with an indifferent air. T hear that Miss Noel is very charming and that everybody predicts great things for her.
 Everybody is right Antonio re- turned. Have you not met her?'
 No You see, she only arrived in town last night-came on from New York with that boy of Dono- vans. She'll be showing up here at the theatre some time this aft crnoon, I suppose. Donovan prob ably met her train and will bring her to rehearsal He smiled know ingly and asked, with another curi- .ous glance, When did you get in?" .sa Antonio answered shortly: Six twenty eight this morning from New York" He was thinking bitter 7y:" So Harriet had been in New York and had not let him know She had not answered his last let ter. She had come to New York and had not even telephoned him They could SO easily have come on to Cincinnati by the same tram

RENO, June 27.-Jack Dempsey's personally promoted heavyweight fight here July 4 may not affect the championship situation but i. has been ballyhooed to the. pro- portions of the old time battles which marked the days of Tex Rickard hereabouts.
 The genial eX-champion will pre- sent Pauline Uzcudun and Max Baer-a pair of stalwarts who bal ance a lack of knowledge of the finer points of the sport with a willingness to walk in and throw punches. It is scheduled as a 20- round bout.
 Dempsey expects some 15OOO or more fans to flock to the Nevada metropolis, termed by it's citizens the biggest little city in the world ? Not since Jack Johnson crushed the comeback" aspirations of Jim Jeff fries here in 1910 has Reno held a spot in the pugilistic picture. Uzcudun, grinning. gold-toothed Basque, is the central figure in Dempsey's plans and hopes to bring the fight crowd to Reno. Many thousands of Spaniards live in California, while Utah and Ne vada have their share of the coun- trymen of Paulino When Uzcu- dun fought George Godfrey in Los Angeles two. years ago, fully a third of the attendance was made up of persons of Spanish descent, all there to cheer for their country man.
 Baer, Livermore. Cal, youngster, who attained fleeting ring promi- hence within the last year, has a strong following in the San Fran cisco bay section despite three de- feats in eastern fights. Win or lose, he gives the customers a thrill.
 Varied added attractions offered by Reno are expected to weigh heavily in making the city meet ing ground for a huge crowd over the Fourth. Games of chance op- crate under the law while the visi- tors also will find horse race meet under way.

Why was she travelling with the boy, Bruce Carey-Donovan's boy? And Donovan, it was assumed, had met her at the train and would bring her to rehearsal"
 The expression on Bob Marshal's handsome features seemed to indi- cate that he had found that half forgotten thing for which he had been searching. With his eyes still on Antonio's troubled countenance he said, Seems to me I heard that you and Miss Noel grew up to- gether.
 We did" returned Tony
 "Hum-m," unused young Mar shal. T suppose you have heard the rumors about our manager and our leading lady?"
 Poor Tony did not answer. He felt smothered under a terrible weight which had suddenly fallen upon him He wanted to cry out, but something kept him silent. Then he heard a voice which sounded faint and muffled. It was Bob Marshall saying: T have it straight that Miss Noel and Dono- van are engaged to be married, so I suppose we will have a pair of newlyweds along with our other troubles this summer"
 Better than any one else in all the world Antonio Latour knew the purity and nobility of Harriet Noels character. That such a woman should give herself to a creature such as he knew Roy Donovan to be was thing too monstrous to be believed.
 But even as he was torn by that emotional turmoil the revelation had raised, Antonio understood how it had happened He remembered how Donovan used to say that all a man needed to make fortune in the theatrical business was star and an angel and that if he could find the star she would eventually find the angel.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-06-27

Tn Harriet Noel the manager had found his star, by craftily appeal ing to those very clements of her nature which should have been her protection The nobility of her own mind and her almost fanatical devotion to her art and career had betrayed her.
 With ostentatious affection for his motherless stepson, Bruce, the man had quieted the instinctive fears and won the confidence of the woman, while with praise of her art and promises to give her that place on the stage which was her goal in life the manager had won the actress.
 When we consider Antonio La tours ardent nature and his un- faltering devotion to Harriet Noel since the day when the boy first became conscious of his girl play mate; when we realize that his whole life-course had been deter mined by his love for this girl and the hope of making her his wife and that his belief in her love for him had never before been shaken, it is not difficult to appreciate that by the shock he was carried to the perilous verge of insanity.
 As to the details of what hap pened next, Tony remembers noth- ing. What was said between him, Harriet and Donovan is lost in the fury of the emotional storm which had so suddenly burst upon him
 The old actor remembers, as in a dream. that he forced his way into Harriets dressing room and con- fronted her with what he had heard; that she confirmed the re- port that she and Donovan were to be married: that there was a ter rible scene upon which Donovan
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-06-27

entered and that he attempted to kill the manager, but was prevented by stage hands who came to the rescue in answer to Harriet's screams.
 Old Tony recalls nothing of the following days until one morning when he found himself back in the little retreat, with it's flowers and grass, which he and Harriett had called their theatre. He must have arrived in Orchard Hill during the night and made his way there with the instinct of a wounded animal Copyright, 1880, by D. Appleton
