For a short interval after the
dramatic coach had herded the
three curious young actors from
the theater. Larry just kept staring
at his wife. Then he jumped from
the platform stage to the plank
floor and took her In his arms. He
did not kiss her. He just held her
close to him until she quit SILVER

Then they sat down. the girl on
another bale of hay, Larry on the
floor at her feet. To hide his emo

Just as coldly. she retorted, Il
can't very well marry anyone until
I'm divorced. That's why wanted
to ind you" Sudden grief swept
through her. "Oh, Larry, why have
you hidden from me all this time ?"
His voice took on severely dis
cordant tones. Sometime have

from everyone. 1t was worse than
being a criminal. That ugliness is
inside and you hide to protect your
self. My ugliness was outside and I
hid to protect others-I was a mon
ster. Even when your voice came
over the microphone that night of
the premiere and made me feel as
II you had reached out and kissed

savagely. And can't bear to talk

Larry interrupted her. That's

will be sick. How hate the place!
Thumbs down II you make a false

was a scrapbook, filled with notices
about him. Not notices from the

CHAPTER FoRTY-sEvEN


THE EXPENSIVE motor Of An
cites car barely whispered as she
pulled across little wooden bridge
over a stream. Yet II sounded so
noisy TO her that she stopped and
continued on foot, careful not to
make a sound as she approached
the artistic green-shingle theater.
For that was what it was. Rustic
letters OF gnarled bark were
perched above the door. Mill Stream
Theater. Drying against an oak
tree was some scenery, a fireplace
and mantel, some French doors.
On tiptoe now, she walked across
velvety Wild grass and moss to the
door and peered in Curtains Of
heavy black material shut out the
afternoon sun, but beyond that
darkness she saw the small stage
and the crude lighting system
and Verrazano, putting as he bent
over drawing various chalk lines
that represented doors, windows
and furniture.
Silently Anette slipped through
the door into that cobwebby dusk
and found herself sitting down on
something's bale Of hay, she dis
covered when she dared move from
her glued pose. Two girls moved
onto the stage and followed Yer.
razano about. listening attentively
as he. still STOPPING and chalking,
murmured instructions.
At the very edge of the stage, a
bespectacled young man sat astride
a straightforward chair, penciling
a script 1t was Joe! Anette re-
called the day he had shocked Cri-
terion profoundly by shouting,
Money means nothing to me. I'm
shaking the dust of Hollywood from
my feet and I'm delighted to do 1t.
I'm going back where I can write
as ! please" Well. he was proving
his disdainful assertion. Certainly
there was no money connected with
this place Of spider webs and hay
bales. Pure straw hat. And Of the
lowest caliber.
Surely Verrazano could do better
than this. Anette's heart ached for
him. And then 1t stood still. She
felt as If she could never catch an
other breath. 1t was like seeing a
ghost. Laurence Peyton had walked
onto the tiny stage, SO handsome,
so at ease that rage came to her
rescue. To the extent Of holding
back her hysteria, at any rate, but
not to the extent Of providing her
with strength to walk out of the
place. Because that was what she
wanted to do more than anything
else.
She knew she must. It was not
fair that he could put her through
such anguish, even make her al
most hate him. and then simply
walk onto a dinky stage In a home
made summer theater, completely
handsome and self-assured. and
again make himself the most i'm.
portant person in her life.
And that was not the worst
Also. by walking onstage he made
the little shingled shack by the side
OF a country stream, that she had
been ridiculing to herself, seem
more consequential than any OF the
luxurious sets that had been de-
signed for her pictures. It was like
a dream, sitting there in the dark
ness, listening as they began their
rehearsal, a rather sketchy rehear-
sal because someone, named Tubby
was late.
When he finally arrived, Larry
bounced. The girl, in her mouse-like
silence, thought, Il know exactly
everything he is going to say, lust
which word will follow which
word"
But Tubby did not let him get
tar. Il wouldn't have been late only

Of State Hughes to Secretary of
Labor Davis, which read in part:

GRAIN STORAGE
TO BE PROBLEM

One of the most acute grain
storage problems in the history
of the state will face Montana
farmers if the 1912 crop ma
terializes as indicated, Albert
H: Kruse, state commissioner
OF agriculture, said recently.
Mr.. Kruse conferred recentlv

tives Of other grain States on
the problem of transporting and
Warehousing the 1912 crop at
a meeting called by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture.

age space and the present con-
dltlon of the 1912 crop indi-
cate that space will have to be
made available in Montana for
100000 bushels this year. Ell
ther by new construction or
emptying of present storage
units before harvest.
"As the possibility of moving
much of the wheat now in stor-
age is not bright and terminal
elevators are almost full. it
would seem that the only ans
Wer to the problem is new con-
Structlon. This is especially true
since Montana elevators have
very little empty storage space
available" ~
These suggestions for use and
storage of the 1912 crop were
llSted by Mr.. Kruse:
l.. Building more storage space
on the farms. Steel for nails
mas been made available for
erection of frame granaries and
lumber still is obtainable.
2. Feeding more grain to live
stock. Federal quotas of meat
and wool production can be
met more easily if grain is
converted to these vital war
materials, of which there now
a shortage.
3: Immediate planning bv in
olvldual farmers to meet their
prospective needs. Farmers
should view the present situa-
tlon seriously and plan now
tor the storage of the 1912 grain
crop.

There were 1913 delegates reg

Mrs. Grace Dillon served on
the credentials and nominating
committees. Mrs. Hazel Chris
