(NOW GO-ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER XIX THE first evening in her new room Betty was lonely, in- uceu. one ncai lu a tajcaiio for dinner, then back to her room. She was about to throw herself on the bed to cry when the wom an who ran the rooming house called up the stairs: "Mr. HarrLs Is here to see you," Miss Brown." Betty went gladlv down to meet George in the dingy room ing house parlor. ''7 V Ax - ' - AN -- - ; V -' ' , rM - ' lsA v - "I thought you might be lonelylthat stuff." and want to go to a moving pic ture," he said,, in his slow voice. "I don't think I care for a pic ture, replied Betty, "but I would like to talk to you, George, for I am very lonely. But let's not sit here. This place is gloomy. Let's go Bit in the park. On a park bench George went at once to the point. "What are you going to do for a living?" I don't know anything but dancing. I shall have to do that." 'Where?" 'A lot of entertainments use paid taleiU. I know the address of a man who hires it: Jack Parker. Several of the girls at dancing school told me that he had given them Jobs at stag dinners and the like." "I am very much opposed to that!" George announced. "No good can come of going to places like that! You will get Into bad company and you are too nice a girl to mix up with the kind of people who go to such places!" "George, you have a wrong idea of dancing girls!" protested Betty. 'The girls at Selikoff's were Just as nice as the girls we knew at high school. A nice girl is a nice girl, whether she dances In pub llo or not." "I am not criticizing the girls. I say a steady association In that work and environment means a steady lowering of your stand ards and ideals." "Regardless of standards and ideals, one must eat!" "I will finance you for the time being If you will seek some more lady-like employment." "You are kind, George, but I could not take money from you. That would be much less ladylike than dancing." "I disapprove!" George repeat ed, emphatically. Oh, George, please don't take that attitude! You have been so good to me these last few months that. I am sorry to displease you: but I must make my own way In my own way!" Of course I have no right te dictate. You must pay the fiddler if you dance. I am sorry. I guess we better say good night." He rose as he spoke. I'm sorry George., I will nev er forget what you have done for me Betty went home and cried her self to sleep, feeling she had lost not only her parents but her best friend. Doc. Andy and Harry had stayed away from her in her trou ble, although they came to her fa ther s funeral. Betty was 'without any rela Uvea. Even in her grief she took pleasure in her absolute freedom. She felt that if allowed her own way she could make a name for herself dancing. Certainly no one NOW PLAYING "The Submarine" Starring Jack Holt, n 5 V lorotby Revier and.

Early the next, morning she went to Jack Parker's theatrical agency.- Parker was a costumer who, supplied everything for pri vate theatrical and fancy dres balls. Betty was met by a frowzy blonde woman. "I want to see Mr. Parker about some dancing engagement," ex plained Betty. "That's what they all say," an swered the girl, her Jaws work ing on chewing gum till she re sembled some ruminating animal. "There are more would-be dancer? I In thla rtvcn than Ihprn ar trnf fic cops!" "I am a pupil of Selikoff's, Bot ty went on. m "Oh, that! I suppose you run around barefooted and give vis ualizations of a nymph in a mea dow feeding a daffodil to a year ing calf. There Is no demand for 'I can do acrobatic and buck." "Lemme see your legs!" de manded a voice behind her. Betty turned to meet an over-dresaed, slender man with a sharp face, a cigarette pendant from his lips. Her look made him add, "I am Jack Parker." Betty hesitated a moment, and then lifted her skirts just abovf her knees. "Say, kid, don't get me wrong. Legs are what I sell and what you have to sell. That's what the cash customers want. It's hip. hip. hur ray.' If there l9too much -hip there is no hurray. No legs, no legacy! I must remember that. That'3 a good nifty. Let's seem 'em."

She turned to go, but Parker merely wayed hts band without replying. Betty thought about the Inter view all. the way home. She felt George was probably right, but onsoled herself with the thought hat this bluff man, Parker, was :ikely bothered with a lot. of girls who wanted -to dance, and his fa miliarity was only the resiil". of hl.i vusiness. She was back at two with her zi itume. The frowzy girl told her to go upstairs and follow the sound of the piano. She fouud her vMf in a large room devoid of fur niture, -except for a jAuno and tl. ree broken chaira. On one of che.Te sat a hard-faced girl, smok ing; r. cigarette. At the piano was a young man of the same type a3 Parker. On the floor a man in sailor costume sang a song about "All Hands on Deck," half a tone off key. At the conclusion of the Bong he danced a hornpipe awkwardly, and then gave an Imitation of drawing a glass of soda, pretend ing to get it out of his ear.

The girl handed two or three dog-eared sheets of music to the piano player and began., a song. Half way through her first verse Parker Interrupted her. "Let's see you dance." The piano player thumbed the music and began to play while the girl began a Charleston. "The Charleston Is out and the Black Bottom, too. cut In Parker. "Those are all I can do!" said the!rl. "Better go back to your Job, waiting on table." - "Now. Pavlowe!" He turned to Betty with a thin-lipped smile. Betty was more frightened th?n she had evar been before an audience. But her excitement did no harm to her dancing. She did her acrobatic number, her Jazs dance and her waltz clog without comment , from either of the two men. "Sing?" Parker asked. "Not well. I can. sing a few simple songs. t "Sing one." She walked to the piano and sang a verse and chorus of a popular song. "Not 6o hot,", said Parker, "but you could learn." . "Leave your name and address with the girl downstairs. I can get you a few engagements If you hove some costumes. They must, be snappy. It's legs they want, remember, girlie. Tell Maggie that I will put you on the pro gram at that, affair Thursday night. She'lV tell you about It. Fifteen bucks you get." Betty left the room elated. Two engagements a week at fifteen dollars each would keep her go ing till she could get more per manent work.' ' She decided that she would1 try a large moving pic ture houee, which kept a regular chorus In addition to the visiting solo dancers and .singers who staved a week only. She felt she had done Parker an Injustice. His brusque and familiar manner was merely the professional way! She was to learn differently, however.
