And of course Gale is an artist. Lots of
people think he's just good-looking boy.
But know he's an artist. And he was Just
a kid too. He didn't know what he was doing.
He didn't know what real love meant. l
didn't know either. I'd never loved anyone
before. 1t just crept up on us without either
of us knowing like - like thief in the

too late. Well, we just faced it. 1t was dread
full for both of u.s. But it was hardest for him.
You see, he felt absolutely bound - New
Englanders are like that = and respected
him too much even to try to make him break
his word. So we made up our minds to do the
right thing. When went to the station with
him, it was to say our real goodbye"
Dorothy was crying too "You mean you'll
never act with him again?"
"Oh no. We've got to. 1t will be terrible.
But we artists have to put our duty to the

Party. Everyone who knew Gale on the lot
was to 60 along. Dorothy West, to whom her
scoop had brought immense prestige, would
be in the front ranks. And the Old War Horses
could be relied on not to be caught a second
time snoOzing in their stalls. Cameramen,
sardonically alive to drama, would take COM
panion pictures to the touching farewell scene
on the station platform.
And the next afternoon Janet would give
a quiet little cocktail party. Just few init
mate friends. ''The great thing" Janet said,
lis not to frighten her."
Somehow the time of the Thorntons' ar
rival leaked out. The professional crowd of
star-gazers who f1ocked to premieres flocked to
the Los Angeles station. Gale hadn't foreseen
that possibility. He turned quickly and took
Lois hand helping her to the platform, try
ing, in panic himself, to shield and reas-
sure her.
Janet was there with simple bouquet of
roses. She kissed him. So frankly and natu-
rally - like the sister that she was going to
be. And then Gale said, awkward and stam-
mering Janet, this is my wife" and Janet
kissed her too, tenderly, lingeringly, so that
there could be no doubt about it. Both their
hats were knocked a little askew by the en-
brace. Lois hat made her look stupid But
Janet righted her own smart little affair with
gay gallant gesture, as though it were all such
fun and she didn't care what she looked like.

hours to break she reflected. .And it ought
to knock 'em cold"
Then having done what she considered was
her honest best to save Herman Rand, her
self and Gale from the results of the latter's
irresponsible indiscretion, Janet gave her
whole attention to the new role. She wore
simple, subdued clothes. She tried to avoid
interviewers and, when they would no longer
be denied, she met them with bright brave
reticence
'You boys have got things all wrong There
never was anything between Gale Thornton
and me. We were and are just dear friends.
And now that he is going to bring his wife
home to us, I'm going to be her friend too"
That part was going to be easy. Janet
Courteney was naturally good-nat,ned and
she felt positively warm towards this un-
known girl who, without knowing it, had in
vented brand new line in romantic entangle-
ment She was, no doubt, quite awful. But
the more awful the better.
In the short time that remained to her,
Janet worked fast. As she limited to everyone,
there wasn't anything she wouldn't do to
make Gales wife feel at home. Poor kid! It
was going to be hard for her Straight off
the farm and plunged into our wicked, So
phisticated, hard boiled crowd" Janet's eyes
twinkled.. They intimated that of course the
crowd wasn't really hard-boiled or sophisti-
Gated at ALL Underneath their polished ex-
terror they were just too simple and tender
hearted. Anyone could fool them.

THE STORY SO FAR

and talk. They know how to play the game
And you don't. And you'd never learn. You'd
just be country nobody - just Gale Thorn

And you'd break your heart
Lois Graham had cause to remember Leslie
Janson's words in the months to come. At
the time, she had replied that she was willing
to take the chance. She had broken her en-
gagement to him and married Gale, whom
she had known and loved since childhood.
The marriage was blow to Gales Holly
wood associates. Herman Rand, the director
who had discovered the young New Eng
lander working at California gas station,
and Janet Courteney, Gales co-star, con-
sidered that Gale had ruined their pet pub
city - featuring Janet and Gale as boy-and-
girl-sweethearts. Now what would the fans
think?
The bride and groom were already on their
way West so Janet had to work fast to build
up new line. That was why she turned to
Dorothy West, sob-sister columnist and told
her the whole story - that is, the story she
wanted Dorothy to tell the world.

June BUILDING
SETS SFAST PACE
$73,604, 600 Volume for 81
States Is Best Since
May, 1881.

| Not since May, 1881, have the build
ing of new homes and the moderniza-
ton Of old dwellings been as active as
it is today. For June the volume of
residential building, both new and al
terations. amounted to $73.604.6 900 in
the 81 States east of the Rocky Noun
tains. according to F. w. Dodge Corp.
This was almost per cent better than
the May, 1886, figure of $70,253, 400, the
previous high point of the remaining
period, and was about 48 per cent
ahead of the total of S49, 1882, 600 re-
ported for the 81 States during June,
1885.
For the first half of 1886 residential
building of all descriptions. totaling
s334,844, 800, made gain of about 81
per cent over the total of s208. 8.173, 800
for the corresponding period of 1885.
improvement in home-building oper-
ations was general throughout the
country, with every major geographic
area sharing in the general advance.
Total construction of all descriptions
reported in June for the 81 States
amounted to 1898 ,O54, 600 and compares
with s216, 6,o70,700 for May and s148,-
005,200 for June of last year. The
gain over the volume of the previous
month was due to improvement in res
idential building and in civil engineer
ing projects, chiefly bridges, highways
and dams. Non-residential building
reported for June, amounting to s79,-
078,900, was smaller than was shown
for this class of construction in May,
but was materially better than the
total Of $59,035, 300 for June, 1885.

12,351,54 Renting Families.
According to the 1880 census re-

the number of renters is unquestion-
