When our boy reached the knowing

II have nothing more he thought.
Then he remembered small pin
Siu-i had sent him once in play. 1t
had been attached to the first page of
a letter. 1t was made of silver and
enameled in the design of the Chinese
flag. Half in fun, he took it from the
box with his cuff links and pinned it to
his lapel. "Why not?" he thought.
"I'm good Chinese and let the world
know it,"
He went out of his room, whistling
an American tune under his breath.
There was no one about, and he saun-
tered in the direction of the main hall.
Then he heard voices and he hurried
his steps slightly. 1t was half an hour
beyond seven, but he had not expect
ed anyone before eight. If he knew his
China, no one came on time to din

voices. It sounded as though everyone
had come.

eye guessed. Then he saw something
else. He could not believe it, but it
was true. Three fourths of the guests
were Japanese! Then his father saw
him.

There was nothing for him to do
but obey -.

slender, silk-robed man. 1t was hard
to believe so dignified gentleman
had been the one he had watched last
night. When Martin thought of this
his will hardened. His father had been
that man, nevertheless.
"Sit down, my son." his father told
him.
He sat down, not cOrnerWise as he
had been taught to sit in an elders
presence, but as one man sits in the
presence of another. If his father
noticed this, he made no sign.
There are many things between us
for talk" his father said. "And yes
terday l was busy"
Your time is no longer your own"
Martin said boldly.
His father threw him a sharp look.
ut is true am busy" he said smooth
ly. Something crept over his face like
aveil, leaving it expressionless. Against
it Martin suddenly rebelled. The last
seven years had been spent among
frank and impulsive foreigners, and
he would not return to careful speech.
Il shall speak plainly" he told his
father. IL was surprised to see our
enemies in this house."
Baron Muraki -"
But Martin interrupted him. The
Baron was only one of more than
score"
The look on his fathers face grew
closer. do you accuse me?" he asked
gently
Il do" Martin said. His eyes were
steady upon his fathers face.
But his fathers eyes did not turn
either. Does it occur to you that l
may have my reasons?" he asked.
There can be no reason, now"
Martin declared. Small things he had
forgotten were coming back to him.
In New York Chinese classmate had
suddenly declined further friendship
with him. When Martin pressed him
one day with an invitation the young
man had said CURLY, before he turned
away, MY father does not know your
father"
IT HAD seemed foolish then to give
as cause against friendship that a
Chinese merchant in New York had
not known a Chinese gentleman in
Picking. That can scarcely be expect
ed,' Martin had said haughtily, and
thereafter had ignored the man. Now
he understood.
And Ling Ma last night - now he
understood her hints. do you know,
Father, what people are saying about
you?" he demanded.
Il have never known what they
say, because | have not cared, his
father said calmly.
You must care now - they are
saying you are a friend of the Japa-

They looked at each other with the
tragic and absolute despair of the

"And | shall tell him SOL"
"You will tell Father that?'
I'm not afraid of him anymore -

He strobe away on this strength to
his father court. But it was now very
late. The rooms we're dark around the
large silent court where his father

his angry courage.

speak calmly and reasonably in the
morning. After all, his father was an
old man and it was possible that he
did not know what he was doing. 1t

eyes of his father did not see all that
went on before them, but the time
must come for him to fail. as for all

could not until it was nearly dawn.
Then he slept long and extravagantly,

Out of old habit Martin leaped to
his feet.
What he must remember; he told
himself an hour later in his fathers

between a man and his son. What the
revolution had begun, this war had
finished. Everywhere young men and
women were telling their parents that

they were telling old people who felt

Round Eight:

Round Ef0hf:
Mr.. Frank Capra, an obscure young
director, is called in by Columbia to
discuss picture to be called Ladies OF
Leisure. He likes it. 1t is deal. The
picture is cast. But MIR. Capra is not
satisfied. The principal part, on which
the success of the picture depends, IS
not right. Let's see some screen tests
of some other actresses, he asks. Screen
tests? Listen, there are about dozen
screen tests of girl from New York,
Barbara Stanwyck, around some place.
Might as we'll look them over.
Miss Stanwyck, meanwhile, is very
busy with her bags and with arrange
ments for her transportation. The
phone rings. She stops work and
answers it. "Is.this Miss Stanwyck?'
Yes, this is Miss Stanwyck. Could she
stop in at Columbia? A man is mighty
anxious to see her.

Frank Capra. A director. He saw
your tests.
