Nervous indigestion. Too much
work and too heavy dinner for an

heavy but 1 object to the claims to

quickly and be fresh and up-and-

Joan set out before nine the next
morning to put her idea to work.
She went to Sheila's place. Sheila
would be furious with her for be-
ing Weakened at that hour but Joan
was banking on Sheila having a very
real affection for Julian. She was
firm with the maid who feared to call
the actress.
What is it?" Sheila cried in alarm.
Then noting the clock and Joan's
cool demeanor. Joan Spencer, there
isn't anything in the world important
enough to waken me at this CHASTITY

I'm the first place it isn't earlier
than nine and this is important. It's
terribly important and want to talk
to you about this absolutely conf

Sheila dismissed her maid and
promised Joan it would be strictly
confidential.
'EIave you got $40.OOO?" Joan de-
manded and Sheila nearly bolted out
Of bed.

that much I'd be in Paris at this
moment. What have you done

NO." Joan said quietly and pa
tiently and tried to explain the
situation to Sheila as one would to

Sheila was very shpewd.
Sheila lit cigaret and drew on it
silently. her smooth brow knit in
thought.

money" Sheila seemed to be speak
ing her thoughts aloud rather than
speaking to Joan. "Proskauer is a
very shrewd man and he knows his
theater. He has been with Julian in
this for long time. He must have
had a good reason for withdrawing

is that he doesn't think it's going to

a terrific loss on the market. Both

Pleading with Sheila did Joan little
good and she went back to Julian's
house with little of the buoyancy she
had hoped to return with.
But Julian called to her with
lift in his voice.

"But isn't it terribly risky?" Joan

Nevertheless Joan felt as though she
