Maybe gold stars are too much

They were out Of the studio then

seemed scarcely to touch the floor,
which had turned to fleecy clouds
beneath her worn shoes.
A page boy hurried up to Healey.
"a telephone call waiting for you
at the desk, Mr.. Healey," he said.
"Oke, son."
He held out his hand and Kit,
seeing only too late that there was

hand in his with warm bushes
of embarrassment brushing her
cheeks.

IN THE control room, the engi-
neer and the announcer listened
without talking any more until the
song was done.
Then Widmer, taking in the
shabbiness of the girls appear
ance, and reading all too knowing
ly what poverty and lack were her
lot, said, Shed better stick to the
job she can get What chance
would a kid like that have with a
lot of prima donnas?'
Vance bestowed a swift look
upon his companion. There's a
bonus for every one that makes
the trials, isn't there ?"
A ligk' broke over Widmer's In
tellect. $50 that's the game?
Broke, Ell? Sure. get it now"
Poor kid" Vance said. Keep
it dark, will you?"
Widmer made a little circle of
two fingers as Vance left the con-
troll room.
The way the kid looked ct him
tugged at Vances heart. Life must
give lousy deals to some people to
make them both 81 big as he re-
membered her on that shameful
morning, and so small and humble
as she was now.
He said, How come you never
get an addition? I'll bet you've
been kidding me. There was pro-
fessional heartiness in his tone. He
hoped to take that look off her
face.
She let her under lip out from
under her teeth.

best?" she asked him.

you think you could do 1t exactly

tried to say something. but the
words slipped past her throat into
her eyes, making them shine.
Vance saw them and turned
away. A damned shame, he
thought, for a sweet little kid to
be going around with a look like
that in her eyes.

what it's all about"
Its This way-Gus Reimer. a

you see him, you can be sure that

sure to see him at ten tomorrow

look. stick to your own stuff.

How about Drink TO Me Only

turned to him anxiously.
He looked into them for a mo-

asked. Swell" he replied, bring

Vance experienced sudden
qualm. He'd have TO fix this thing
up before the youngster developed
an impossible dream. He cleared
his throat. 1--WE got to be honest
