He might so welcome his freedom, he might
do something entirely new, even take new
name and disappear from all he had known
He saw himself roaming about the world,
different person in one city or another, Lon
don, Paris, Venice, or even just Chicago or
San Francisco.
There was one difficulty He did not want
to do anything except theater. Whatever else
ne attempted, it would all end in a room like
this somewhere, an agent trying to find him
job, and would an agent even try to find an
unknown man a job? At least Drake Forester
had been somebody once. There was memory.
1T HAD been long time since he had wept,
but he wept now, only few tears and not
exactly for himself, but for anybody like him,
anywhere. He was not unique, of course.
There was no use fooling himself He had a
little flair, tiny talent, that, combined with
youth and extreme good looks - oh, he had.
been good looking, still was - had been
enough to carry him little beyond the aver
age, but it had not been enough and would
never be enough.
So why not die? It would be easy. He had
thought of it as anyone alone and unsuccess-
full thinks of it, not as something he would
ever do, but still a possibility. He had thought
of it sometimes at night when he took his
sleeping pills. He held death in the palm of
his hand, he had unused, gazing down on the
white pellets in the palm of his hand, not with

flare for drama, thinking if he could so choose
he could do it.
Now someone else had done it for him
someone with his name. He took up the paper
and read again. No reason was given for his
death. 1t was simply announced with the few
details about his former success on the stage
and his gradual retirement 1t was quite
dignifed, and if he died now, actually, the
effect would be spoiled. This shabby room,
his continual bounding of Nick, the ragged
shirts and his torn pajamas, the disgusting
private details he could keep hidden while he
lived but dead he must reveal. He ought
really to be grateful that someone had died
nicely in his place. They had the address
right, this street, this house.
liz GRINNED, his lips twisted, and suddenly
he felt hungry. He would get up, he would
make his coffee and toast over the gas ring
and he would never call Nick up again. He
might leave here, he might go West tomorrow,
saunter into Hollywood, later, quite on his
own, and get any kind of job around the sets,
even janitor's job. Nothing mattered, since
his name was dead.
The telephone rang suddenly while he was
drinking his coffee at his bedside table. He
got up and went to it. An unknown voice, a
woman's voice, cried out, who is this,
please?"
His name flew to his tongue and he checked
it. Whom do you want?" he growled.

Settlement of the 19-day-old

jective of a meeting of union and

noon with Federal Conciliatol
Gilbert McCutcheon.
The meeting, arranged for {
pm. at the company's headquar-

ton for the wage dispute involv-
ing drivers and maintenance
workers.
The situation was complicated
by a company announcement that
there would be IS per cent slash

is settled. Union spokesmen la
beled this a propaganda move.
Reinstatement of all striking
workers is the aim of the union
and will be one of points to be
argued at today's session. The
company claims it has lost sc
much business due to the strike
that cut in personnel is neces-
