made certain that her blouse was
crisp and fresh, her shoes and
gloves immaculate and got in her
little car.
Mrs. Paynter," she said to the
gateman and after few moments
swung the car up to the portals of
the executive building. She was
there at the moment Joel had
asked her to be.
Joel was waiting for her in the
corridor. His hair looked muSsier
than usual and his dark eyes
burned feverishly. That half shy
grin of his broke all over his face
when he saw her.
"Blakely has sent for me, Jan,
he whispered, land ten minutes ago
Chester's secretary came down to
me on the set and told me that
Chester wants to see me immedi-
ately after my interview with
Blakelyw

Janet was very calm, Joel, why
did Blakely send for you? And
should l be here?"
There's only one reason. He's
going to pick I'm my option and

on me-"
wait a minute, darling" she
said slowly. what makes you SO
sure he is going to renew your con-
tract ?"
Because Chester wants to see
me Immediately after. The direc-
tors around here, my little inno-
cent, don't cali for actors to say
goodby to them"
They were walking down the
corridor toward Blakely's Office.
Janet halted, Joel, THAT did you
mean about not letting them put
anything over on you?"
"Well, if they've got something
big for me to do and think they
can get away with Offering me a
measly little three hundred week
they'll :"
you'll take it, Joel! Three hun
dred week is lot of money and
we're living very well. I'm glad
you asked me to come with you"
An hour later Janet, sitting so
small, SO self-effacingly in the big
leather chair a goodly distance
away from Mr.. Blakely's desk, saw
the lines of stubbornness settle
around JoePs mouth.
Blakely had just told them that
he was going to renew Joers con-
tract for two years at five hundred
for the next six months and seven
fifty for the next year.
Janet watched the danger sig
nails in Joeps face. Joel, she knew,
had sensed that the producer was
not offering Joel that money I'M
less there was something afoot for
him that was worth while to the
studio. And Chester had sent for
him. Janet put two and two to-
gether She prayed that Joel
would not spoil the thing that she
saw they had to do.
Joel opened his mouth. He said,
"Seven-ffty a week :"
Very gently and very firmly,
Janet said ".Toer' :. and turned

l. to Mr.. BlakeIy who looked as
though he was. only then aware OF
her presence. 'Mr. Blakely, If you
please, Joel and I have talked this
over. Your option is only for six
months more. Now. we thought"
she spoke very softly-"that Il
you were to pick it up at the. same
price, three hundred week for tho
next six months we both could see,
in that event what turns up. You
wouldn't want Joel to tie himself
to a contract if he is not likely to
show himself worth it. would
you?" i
The astonished Mfr. Blakely for
got himself and lighted his cigar.
Joel appeared to be paralyzed by
what she was saying.
"And I'm sure that if. at the end
Of that time, Joel has proved him
self good person for you, you'd
want to offer him the right salary.
It's because we trust you that we
are willing to sign again for three
hundred week."
Blakely thought: Women!
This one had him and she knew
! it. She said, "Shall we each think
about it over night ?"
Think about it over night, re-
fected Blakely. and have her dis
cover that Chester was giving the
part of Jan to her husband? Not
if he knew it!
I'm afraid not, Mrs. Paynter,"
he said, picking up the legal form.
IT think you kids are foolish but
if those are your terms we'll settle
for a renewal at the same price
and three-year option at the con-
clusion."
He had added two years to the
option period, Janet noted satisfac-
torily.
Joel picked up the pen as though
he were in an unhappy trance.
His feeling of unhappiness was
not mitigated even when he heard
that Chester had cast him for tho
