MANI come In ana tear yore face
Off"
Mr.. Sid Bromberg almost ex-
ploded.
People did not talk like that to
him. Certainly they didn't dare do
so in his own sanctum, ever. He
sputtered, and pointed, and turned
red in the face, and finally sat
down.
"W-whO is he-this MANI" he
finally managed. "He can't! I'll
have the law on him. I am Sidney
Bromberg. I write no mash notes.
l am engaged to Ellen. 1 am go
ing to her tomorrow, today, now.
Is it a blackmail? A-a-a- ?"
He was sputtering again. "Who
is the man? Tll-TH-"
Bill Baron, straining to main
tain his compOsure, rose to his
rather impressive height. He put
on his best glare, carefully stoop-
ing so that both Of his pistols were
revealed under his coat.
I'm her man. You'll what?"
1t is shame that the scene was
not recorded, filmed with sound,
Tor posterity, especially for Ellen
Dale. 1t was all that she could
have hoped for, and it was worth
a million dollars to Bill himself. he
admitted ever after.
The only catch was that Wild
Bill couldn't maintain it. He
sWelled and he swelled, and finally
ne exploded with laughter.
The secretary poked a tentative
mead in the door, still impressed.
Sidney Bromberg ranted and
raved for five minutes. then
turned into the gentleman which
ne really was. After all, he him
self hadn't always been a wealthy
moving picture man, but had
started business life in a Bowerv
nlckelodeon where $40 a dav was
Dig net. He ended his TRADE nv
inviting Bill to dinner. And. as
Ellen had predicted, by irving to
make him take screen test.
When the two men had thus de-
Veioped mutual respect, the eve

Brown took it as personal affront
because Ellen had chosen Juan in
stead of him for that first ride, and
so sulked in his tent for the re-
mainder Of that day.
The amusing aspects of the cpl
sode so warmed Bill Baron that
much of his gaiety seemed to re-

but she stopped him.
"You let him strictly alone, you
big bully!" she commanded, smil-
ing. He acquiesced, grinning back,
but he didn't stop teasing her and
Juan, to the delight of all the
others present.
After supper he came to her
tent. His mood was distinctly
brighter, in sharp contrast to that
which he had shown in the past
two weeks, and Ellen felt happi-
ness again yelling within her. He
made a brief business report, then
fingered to discuss nothing in par
ticular.
Ellen, strangely excited, won
dered if he really was paying q
social call and what she should do
to keep him in this better mood.
MEN are won through their
stomachs" she had heard some
where, but she had never learned
to cook. That thought suddenly
struck her as appalling. Concep-
cion Rivera would be commanded
to teach her, tomorrow morning.
| II have never ceased to admire
the bracelet you gave me-" she
said, with quick enthusiasm, hold
ing up her arm. "It has never
been off since it came, day or
night" She looked wistfully up
at him.
That's real appreciation, --Ellen,"
he declared, and meant it.
It was a glowing moment,

are doubly close. 1t is not enough
to say that they twinkle; they are

course, an atmospheric phenome-
non, but it is extremely significant
esthetically too. Ellen, gazing up
in rapture, wanted to, slip her

Nothing more was said about it
then, but next day Buckshot was
quite busy with his own sffairs.
He rode his horse away in the
morning and was gone all day.
The following morning an elderly
Mexican man, introduced as Juan
Salazar, came into camp, and he
and Buckshot went to work.
The two had been nominal
friends for many years, Juan be-
ing an impecunious wood peddler
who sold his burro loads Of faggots
in Nogales for enough money to
live on. He was glad of chance
to work on the new Dale-Durango
ranch. He gathered the proper
boards and timbers, labored amid
much leisurely conversation, smok-
ing, reminiscing and hammering,

Nobody bothered them, and Bill
quietly gave orders to the contracz
tor on the scene that the old men
were to have anything in the way
OF tools they required. Within a
week the carreta had begun to
take shape, and Bill drifted by.

Bill had to sell some real estate
that Ellen owned in Beverly Hills.
He had to attend to some tax
matters. He had to confer with
a Los Angeles lawyer for her. He
had to make it clear, by some
means, that one of Americas
screen favorites was done with
that business forever.
Having a strong sense of humor
himself, he went into the masque-
rade with considerable zest.
Through friendships made in
Nogales, he had himself commits
stoned a deputy sheriff, so that he
could strap on two Of the largest,
ugliest pistols he could find. He
wore decent clothing, topped with
an extraordinarily large black
cowboy hat. He practiced grim
acing, snarling, growing, stroking
his beard. BY the time he left for
the coast he was pretty good at it
all.
Between business appointments
in Los Angeles and Hollywood, he
haunted the furniture stores.
Shrewd dealers a time or two
tried to take him into sell him
things at exorbitant prices, mis-
taking him for the hick he an

ton of the station had been issued by Mayor Hayes. Judge McEvoy opines that the $1,000 bond should be sufficient to cover this if recur- rences take place.
 Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor, appearing for Mayor Hayes, who is a defendant in the action, said in court yesterday that he would oppose the issuance of a permit for erection of the station while the matter was in litigation.
 Aldermen Caused It
 Basis of the entirety of the pro- cedure is the act of the board of aldermen in changing the lot at the corner of Cooke street and Wood lawn terrace from the residential to business zone. This was done upon application by MT. Harrington, owner of the lot, which at present is unoccupied by any type of struc- ture.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy, ap- bearing for the plaintiffs, said yes- terday that the action might be taken to the United States supreme court. For this reason, Attorneys Max Traurig and Richardson Bron- son, appearing for the defense, cought 8 sufficient bond.

DETECTIVE WAS
 VERY BADLY HURT

Los Angeles, Jan. 15.-(UP).- Near death from the explosion of an assassin's bomb in his automo- bile, Harry Raymond, private de- tective employed by crusading citi- zens to prey on the underworld, lapsed into 8 coma today after Say- ing that he had enough evidence to "blow the tower off the city hall" An armed guard was posted outside his hospital room and another at his home to protect his wife, Mrs. Beulah Raymond. His attorney, A. Brigham Rose, left his bedside last night, and the Daily News, in a copyrighted story, said that Rose immediately messaged agents in New York, Seattle and San Diego, to come here at once.
 Raymond had hidden his evidence in other cities, the newspaper said.
 Raymond had been employed by Clifford E. Clinton, who served on the county grand jury in 1887 and was so outraged by existing vice conditions, that he began private crusade. He formed Civic (Citizens' Independent Vice Investigation Committed and Rose was attorney for the group.

 Confused, Disappointed
 Some of MT. RooSevelt,s congres- sional supporters appeared to be confused and disappointed by his coincident plans to cooperate with business and abolish all holding companies in the economic Struc- ture.
 There is no evidence that MT Roosevelt's forthcoming message asking legislation dealing with mon- opoly will propose any such far reaching attack on holding com panies as he discussed yesterday at his regular press conference. If such 8 proposal is contained in the mess age there will be another congress sional battle like last years judiciary reorganization engagement with a similar split among Democrats and another severe jolt to the party or ganization.
 A government drive for decentral- ization of industrial and financial control is coming up, in the opin- ion of observers, but they doubt that all holding companies will be sen- fenced to die.
 BOmbshell Almost Hit
 The holding company bombshell almost hit 8 group of distinguished representatives of banking, indus try and labor at the White House. They arrived few minutes after the explosion, headed by Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric Company, and John L. Lewis, of the Committee For Industrial Organization, to dis cuss the serious business condition which has developed since last sum- mer.
