He was, in fact, a man reprieved.

incredible that this should happen

He realized, alas, that renters
couldn't be choosers, but his flesh
fairly crawled with diState as he
put it on. He fluffed handker
chief out of his breaStpocket as
much as he dared. and still ii
didn't quite cover the spot.
Still, when he surveyed himself
in the dim mirror of his shabby
room, it seemed to him that after
all the result was not displeaSing
He felt he looked more like a we'll
groomed Broadwayite than like
the broken down vaudevillian he
was. He thought he would pass.
This having to dress for Aller-
tons party was nuisance. And
yet, he was in luck. If Allerton
hadn't invited him he mightn't
have been able to reach Tod Mil
Ter at all, because ever since Mil.
Ter had come back to New York
to produce a revue his waiting
room had been thronged, mobbed,
by actors, singers, hooters, all
wanting jobs.
TOD AT THE TOP
The mo More Casting" sign
had been out for days now. Tod
certainly was on the crest of the
wave. one simply couldn't get
near him. even il. one knew him
from years back.
Allerton was the backer in the
newly formed firm of Allerton &
Miller, Theatrical Productions
He was the money man, shrewd
canny, efficient. He had said
briskly, mo More Casting
when he had found Taylor pa
tiently waiting in the ante-roon
on the off-chance Of cornerne
Tod for job.
BUT I just want to say Hello
to Tod" Taylor had insisted
"Gosh, / haven't seen the old boy
in a dogs age. I'm just a trienc
of his" This was stretching 1t 8
bit. of course, but necessity knows
no scruples.
"Oh, a friendP" Allerton hac
said, more cordially, and then
This is a madhouse here, but Tn

Sort of a belated welcome home
Care to come? Extra man always

course"
Naturally, Taylor had accepted
with alacrity, because If he coulc
only get near Tod there might bC
something for him in this new
review after all. Tod was gooc
scout.
Shooting up in the elevator tx
Allerton's penthouse, Taylor
prayed fervently. Arrived, HI
squared his shoulders and wadec
into the party, his eyes wary fol

finally, and Tod, slapping him or
the back, had said, Come into the

The chairs in the library were
big and soft, the brandy was old

And so he leaned back and

AS Taylor spoke, he felt 1t
sounded swell. He began to be-
lieve it himself. Miller scrutin:zed
him thoughtfuly. "Glad you're do
ing so WE'LL" he said. Got any

me! How'd it be to have sort Of

dances, costumes, that'll bring
back memories. The good old days,
and all that. Say, we might work
up something pretty nifty along
that line. How'S it strike you?
Have I got something there?"
He said it lightly, casually, but
his eyes we're anxious and his
smile little fixed. He mopped
his face with his handkerchief and
waited. Miller kept silent.
Apprehension suddenly clutched
at Taylor's heart. This was so i'm
portant, maybe he had muffed it.
Maybe he should have said
nothing, should have let Miller
bring up the subject.
At last Miller spoke. Afraid
can't do a thing" he said. "You
see, we're slaves to that old debbil
budget. Our cast happens to be
complete, principals and all. In
fact, we go into rehearsal tomor-
row. Sorry, old-timer. But try us
another time. The idea'l keep,
you know"
Blaine Taylor sat stunned for
the fraction of second while his
hopes sVld expectations went
crashing. So it was the same old
story! The same old tune!
Another time! Cast complete!
AS though he didn't know darn
well that if they wanted you they
made room for you. AS though he
hadn't heard the same thing a
hundred times before. So his
trunks would stay in hook! And
he had gone and wasted IS in hir-
ing a dress suit
He had thought Surely-but no
matter. The important thing now
was to show nothing, to keep up
his front. He smiled a little wanly,
yet he did smile, as he said, "Oh,
it wasn't important. Forget it..
But hell, don't let's talk about me,
let's hear all about you. You're a
pretty big potato now. Remen1-
ber the fun we used to have at the
good old Palace?"

They talked. Past glories took
shape. But as soon as was de-
Gently possible Taylor excused
himself. He was aching to get
home and out of this hateful suit,
this malevolent suit. The spot on
the lapel new seemed magnified
hundred-fold. He was even sure
he caught Miller staring at it. He
marveled that he had ever thought
he looked all right.
"Well, great to have seen you
again." Miller told him and he

TOM MONEYS CASE
Reaches u. S. Supreme
Court

The case of Tom Mooney has reach

States The necessary papers have
been filed and the court will decide,
we hope, in the very near future
whether or not it will pass on the case.
The counsel in the case have worked
hard and faithfully in preparing the
necessary briefs, and all that now re-
mains is the hope for their day in
court when they feel certain they can
convince the nine members of that
august body that the arrest trial and
conviction of Tom Mooney was
brought about through connivance and
perjured testimony, as has always
been contended.
