More than ever before, owners
and breeders Of fine horses in Nebr
aska have a special interest in the
Ak-Sar-Ben running races now in
progress at Ak-Sar-Ben track in
Omaha, because one race every day
is exclusively for Nebraska-b bred
horses, of which there are 81 en-
tered by 80 owners.
A total of $4,000 In prize money
is up for purses in these Nebraska
races. In addition, 3 per cent of the
purse in any open race which is
won by a Nebraska-bred hore will
go to the breeder of that hore. Thus
Nebraska BREEDERS will get both re
cognition and financial reward
when local horses make a good
showing.
The local race is only one of
seven which are run every day ex-
cept Sunday during the season,
which opened May 9th and which
will continue through Monday,
July 9Th, this year. The first few
days were attended by large crowds
particularly over Memorial Day
week nd, when Saturday, Sunday
and Monday constituted practically
a three-ay holiday period.
Since racing returned to Omaha,
owners and trainers of horses from
all over the country have been pay
ing more and more attention to
running at the Ak-Sar-Ben track,
and an exceptional array of horse
flesh is on hand for this years ev-
ents.
Profit from the races will also
assist live stock breeding generally
throughout Nebraska, because
county fairs receive a sum of mon
ey out of the Ak-Sar-Ben proceeds
each year.
Of particular interest to sports
fans of this county are the entries
of the following horses:
Ashland: Bessie Banquet, Tilla-
nook, Lady Flo and Silver Lou,
owned by Omer Hall; Closing Ev-
ent and Sunny Sou, owned by D..
Hall.

ly to developing her art sketches.
Relieved of much of the routine
that had hampered her in the past,
she found genuine pleasure in her
work. Hartley occasionally VEN
tured a suggestion, and was genu-
inely puzzled when Marcia resented
his help. She still was suspicious
Of the new partner.
Bursting into Abe's Office one
afternoon, she heard the two men
talking confidentially. Ibis name
is Knight, and he's in charge of
new branch office. But he hasn't
chance to get this Char-Ming
account away from us. We've got
old Thornton sewed up"
Quietly. she backed out, then
went hastily into Ellen's cubicle.
I'm in fix" she confided, not
taking time to think. Hurriedly'
she outlined her love for Sandy and
his ambitions. "Now he's trying
for this account, and it must mean
so much to him. He hasn't a
ghost of a chance, unless he knows.
what he's up against. Why, with
the money Acme is spending for a.
presentation he'd have to submit
something terrific to have a look
in. What'll do, Ellen-taik toI
him ?"
Gust off hand I'd say your 10y
atty was to Abe, Marcia. After
all, he's paying your salary and
you owe him something" Ellen
used cold logic to convince Marcia
of her obligations, even though she
sympathized with her feelings.
That night, Sandy stopped at
Marcia's apartment as casually as
if there had been no misunder-
standing. His only reference to
the rift was an embarrassed, Lets
start over again, Marcia. I'll try
to understand your side of it."
Almost Immediately he launched
enthusiastically into his plans to
land the CHARMING account. With
out the financial backing or the in!
side contact his simple plan had no
chance for success and Marcia bit
her tongue to keep trust with
Acme. Her seeming approval
acted as a boomerang a few min
utes later when she made slip
revealing that she was working On
the same prospect.
"And you never told me. Let
me go on Dragging like kid about
my plans, when already YOU
Say, maybe you wanted me to talk
so you'd know what you have to
compete with" Again Sandy let
his hurt get the better of him, and
flared up. "You career women are
all alike. Selfish and INSCRIPTIONS.
You'd scalp your own grandmother
if it would help you get ahead"
"Oh, Sandy" Marcia said bitter
ly, too tired to combat this con-
tinual distrust. What use to tell
him she had kept silent out of a
feeling Of loyalty, if he had not
more loyalty to her than that
tYou'd better CO." she said and
shook her head when he would say
more. Gently she pushed him to-
ward the. door, then closed it
wearily behind him.

Sandy and Marcia met quite by accl-
dent near the home of the girls grand
mother in southern California. He is
an advertising executive who has just
established his own firm and she is a
talented commercial artist. Both are
on vacation: week later it's romance
and love. When they go to tell Grand

her office has been trying to reach her.

Back in Los Angeles. Marcia suffers
keen disappointment when Abe Zim-
norman. her employer, introduces her
to Walt Hartley. his new partner. She.
herself, had been led to believe she
would be taken into the firm. Hartley
asks Marcia to dinner and, on the
spur of the moment she accepts. They
bump into Sandy who fails to conceal
his jealousy. Sandy drops in to see
Marcia one evening and becomes in
furiated when he finds she is working
on the same account on which he has
pinned his hopes.

worded, accurate in detail, it
seemed to the artist to lack
punch" and, as she wondered how
to criticize it, Abe stalked into the
Office.
Lander, I've been reading this
copy and it stinks. It's goddawful.
Do you think anyone would buy
this stuff to hear you push statis-
tics in their face; that don't make
them beautiful. No, what they
want is some miracle worker that
will make them more gorgeous.
So that Egelbert will say, Lord
Mable, bat you're colossal Got
it?"
Lander's face reflected amaze
ment, then resentment.
"But this is just what you asked
for, Mr.. Zimmerman. got these
figures right from the analyses"
"Well, if asked for that you're
crazy. Give me something else if
you have to work on it all night.
This is putrid." Then turning to
the design Marcia had under way,
he fused, "And what do you think
you've got here, an illustration for
a fairy tale? We want something
with more CUTS to it. Sex, and
glan1or. Look at that flat-chested
woman-who'd care if she did have
beautiful skin? Give her a little
more a little more 'urnph'." And
he stalked out Of the Office.
Miss Lander was halfway be-
tween tears and anger, and in
soothing her hurt spirits Marcia
realized that, as usual, keen old
Abe was right. They both had
slipped in the crucial point and
couldn't clinch a sale with such
lukewarm tactics.
For two weeks Marcia worked
under pressure, with criticism her
only diet from Abe. Miss Lander
was nervous and irritable; even
Hartley took it upon himself to
give her unrequested pointers here
and there. She herself grew tired
and depressed, resenting Abe's new
attitude of superiority and missing
the old conference days. With the
advent Of Hartley and his money,
Abe seemed a different person: a
driver, and Marcia needed an in
spirational director.
To make matters worse, Sandy
called her one night and said he
felt he shouldn't see her for
while, that he realized how much
she loved her work and he couldn't
be with her and still not ask her to
give it up, that he was afraid to
force another crisis and lose her
forever. Then he warned her he
was determined to win the Char
Ming account just to prove to her
that he could do it, then admitted
he didn't dare subject himself to
her disturbing influence while
competing with her firm.
So, on Aug. 25, when Abe won
the Char-Ming account, Marcia
wondered tremu lously what
Sandy's reaction would be. Know
ing his heart and soul was set on
victory, she felt he would be ter
ribly depressed and in spite of his
keep Off" warning, she deter
mined to go to him.

masque kept any vestige of a smile
from showing on her stiffening
countenance.
"Well, old Stonewall Madden. I
just came over to see if I could
help you on that CHARMING bust
ness. Do you need another expert
mental station? I'd gladly be a
guinea pig for you, and for Acme, ,
she said, striking a pose.
In desperation Marcia grabbed
a pencil and stalking over to her
drawing board outlined the words,
"This is the first time I've ever
known you to be funny, and yet
can't Taught"
A few minutes later she steamed
her face in warm water, then cold,
and emerged shining anG gay.
Marcia appraised her friend
anew as she stood in the dim light
of her room that evening, looking
decidedly younger than her 80
years. Not beautiful, she never
theless had poise and gracious
ness that was charming. At the
Office she was inclined to be a trifle
austere, but in the friendly atmos-
phere of this room there was no
hint of reserve. Marcia admired
the creamy texture of her skin, SO
well set off by her cleaning black
hair. From a beauty standpoint
her nose was too retrousse, but
Marcia approved this one sign of
rebellion in the otherwise topper
feet Ellen.
'It was grand of you to come,
Ellen" Marcia offered her friend
a cigaret before the two settled
down to serious consultation.
Nov get off," commanded Mar
cia after an hour. You need
sleep, and I need to concentrate.
Thanks for coming and goodby."
After literally pushing her friend
out the door, Marcia dabbled in
other CHARMING boxes, read the
chemical analysis and typed liter
allure Abe had included with the
cosmetics. Seeing il. her minds
eye the beautiful lotus-like skin of
lovely Chinese ladies, she began to
sketch aimlessly, then more def
nitely. Using the flower as a basis
she developed a characteristic sig
nature, then another. Feverishly,
she experimental with colors and
evolved type Of distinctive design
which would mark a Char-M Ming
advertisement wherever it might
appear.
Analysing woman's age-old quest
for beauty, she laid foundations for
a psychological appeal to their
vanity. Realizing that the copy re-
quired days Of technical, even his
torical research, she left that for
the future. The corner clock
chimed and she gathered together
her sketches and brief notations,
then sleepily fell into bed.
The next was the first of several
busy days, when Abe and Marcia
went over plans-the man elimi-
mating and cutting where the ideas
didn't appeal to his keen merchan-
dising sense. A new girl was called
in to help on copy in the emer-
gency rush of business, and Marcia
devoted her attention almost who'll

themselves. Now, scoot!"
He turned her around, gave hel
a slight push toward the dressing
rooms, and was gone around the
corner. Marcia respected the con-
cession he had made, but contrar-
lily wondered why he didn't revive
the question, "When will you mar
ry me?" If he was going to play
a friendly, waiting game-well
she, too, could play.
The hasty dip was exhilarating
and the hearty breakfast in the
club cafe was filling. With a long
sigh of satisfaction, Marcia pulled
her hat over her damp hair, picked
up her purse, and made ready to
leave.
"Just a minute. I'm a working
man, too, you know. I'm going to
town, and I'll drive you in" AL
most Immediately they were roar
ing their way out Wiltshire, where
the sunshine seemed the brightest
The well kept residences, the bust
ness section of Beverly Hills, and
finally the growing skyline of Los
Angeles seemed to speed by the
car as they drove rapidly and
wordlessly toward the two Offices
that were to separate them.
"I wish you were driving back
to our home now, Marcia instead
Of wasting your sweetness in
another mans Office" Sandy said
wistfully in farewell.
The girl walked slowly into the
Fine Arts building, reluctant to
leave the shining morning for the
routine that faced her. For Mr..
Thornton had approved her prelim-
mary drawings for the Char-M Ming
account and she had to work her
roughs over into finished drawings
before the week was out. Aug. rs
was the deadline when the Char
Ming account would be awarded,
and she foresaw little time for
play if she was to accomplish her
assignment.
Once in the tiny cubicile that
served as her Office, she rang for
Miss Lander-the new girl en-
ployed to help her on copy and re-
search. When she came, Marcia
asked her half humorously, do
you have a first name, Miss Lam
der?"
IT did, before I came here" the
girl said without a trace Of a smile.
"Since I came to work for Acme
I've been Lander-this and Lander
that" Then, more quietly, "But
my name is Mignon."
Marcia could hardly conceal a
smile, for the girl who stood before
her was angular, rather large fea-
tured, and be-spectacled. Her dark
hair seemed ;neither black nor
brown and had no relieving high
lights. She was intense, a litter
atus", Marcia judged. Certainly
she had nothing in common with
such a name.
''Well, Miss L., -Mignon.
Let's go over this copy. I need
some help on some of these teasers,
and new headlines here and there"
The serious young woman went to
her Office and returned with a sheaf
of papers, on which she had done
painstaking work. Beautifully

CHAPTER IL

MARCIA AWOKE the next
morning with a strange feeling of
loneliness, and, as soon as she col
lected her wits and realized that
once again she had let Sandy walk
out of her life, her spirits definite
ly reached new low. In all hon.
esty, she had to admit that it was
his very sincerity and his love for
her that allowed him to be so easily
hurt, and which forced him into
strange predicaments. Once in
volved, his stubbornness hampered
his escape.
With an almost maternal smile
she recognized the small boy char
acteristics Of the man she loved.
While he had not mentioned a word
of it, she felt he had won a great
victory over his weaker self when
he had come to call last night
and she laughed as she thought
how he'd tried to pass it off, I'M
able to admit, I'm sorry, I was
wrong"
"And just to think, if he'd asked
me point blank to give up my work
last night, I might have thrown
myself into his arms" she thought
a little bitterly as she remembered
the altered setup at Acme.
Hardly had these thoughts &C.
Cured when her doorbell rang and,
wrapping herself in her jade green
robe, she slipped her feet into tiny
mules and hobbled to the door. A
long florists box was thrust into
her face, and she stared at it in
amazement before she ripped the
paper off and gently lifted the lid.
Yellow roses. Fresh, dewy and
fragrant-she devoured their rich
beauty while she sought for card.
If they were from Hartley! But
no. the tiny card fairly cracked
good news: ''Darling:- Jumped
to conclusions last night-could
jump into the ocean this morning.
Can you ever und e d.
Sandy"
And he sent yellow roses-for
jealousy!
spontaneously, she turned to the
phone and called information for
his number, then dialed it with a
mischievous smile on her face.
"Hello, Mr.. Knight? Let's jump
into the ocean together this morn
ing, I'd like to cool off, too Yes,
have to work, but that can wait.
No, I'll get my suit and hop the
bus to save time. And Sandy, the
flowers were lovely"
She slammed up the receiver,
then raced madly about the apart
ment putting things to rights be-
fore she left. She looked at her
watch:-just 8 o'clock. She could
be down at the beach in half an
hour, then an invigorating dip in
the sea, a hearty breakfast and
she would be CONDITIONED" for
another day at the Office.
Sandy met her at the bus,
dragged her off to his club with
the carefree happiness of a kid.
Gee, but I'm glad you came.
You're a mighty square sport,
Marcia"
Good; was just thinking Of
working the angles 20 mooch a
free breakfast. Or am Z being too
obtuse?"
MIXED metaphors. All I see is
curves"
$50 now I'm crooked, am I?
Do you want to start another
fight"
Before he left her at the lockers,
he talked to her seriously.
Marcia, the hardest thing in the
world for me is to say I'm sorry
but I know I acted like a first
class chump last night, to doubt
you for minute. I knew it when
I said it, and I've cussed myself a
thousand times. Now look; from
now on there's going to be no pro-
fessional jealousy between us. If |
you want to work, at least we'll be
friendly enemies in business, and |
let our personal lives take care of |
