"All the way home' Andy lured Betty that the Iron Door was a perfectly respectable night club, which : sold no' UQuor, al though no objection was made to guests bringing It af their own risk. He told Betty she need not itay at a table where she was in troduced if the party got rough. She was glad enough to get the sngagement. but feared that being compelled to act as hostess would aot prore pleasant. Tet work in the Orpheum was too uncertain, too dependent on the jealous whims of other performers to de pend on for her dally bread. She went to George Harris' res taurant the next morning for breakfast, to tell him about her new work, although she knew George would be displeased with ler for accepting the position. She did not want to lose George. Her life was working out so near- y true to his predictions that shs was ngry with him and with her self. But this anger was only hurt pride'. She wanted to keep Inclose ouch with George, as the new jwlmmer wants to keep close to he shore. Doc and Harry Ford had been at the night club last night and sad waved to her across (he room. aut had not offered to join them Betty wondered if they considered ber Andy Adair's particular friend. She was to find out that (he performers at the night club ild think so. (To Be Continued.) Dependent Mothers' Assistance Care of Poor Hail Juvenile Court ,,. , District Attorney.

Andy Adair took her out again. and was ewect and affectionate. She cauglit herself wishing Andy wera oMcr and more settled and " wllHns to sropose to her, although nothing seemed further from his thoughts. She could not blame him. Wit!: the allowance his fath er gave h!m, tr.d the good time he seemed to le having. It was hard ly to be expected that he would settle dov.;; cs a family man. Betty was beginning to wish she had taken Ccorge Harris sugges tion and le: duncing alone. Every man with whom she had come in contact had mistaken her for a woman of doubtful morals. While she was clever enough to evade an open break with them, she re sented Jack Parker, the local the atrical manager, and this man Hawkins, thinking that - because she danced she was unconven tional. ' She remembered, 1 also, that while Doc, Harry and Andy were glad enough to play, around with a dancing girl, none of them had suggested any permanency in their attentions. When Betty came to the Thurs day morning rehearsal for her third week at the Orpheum, the stage manager said: "Brown, this prog;n don t look good for you We got a woman hoofer who wants somebody in her act. It's gypsy stuff around a campf Ire and a wagon. One girl dances, and from what I know of these visiting dames she better not be too good. Got any gypsy rags?" "I can make a costume In-plenty of time, and I can do, a Spanish dance which may answer." Betty put in "her spare time making this costume and prac ticing a routine for the dress re hersal at which thevisltlng star would appear. When she arrived for this rehearsal she saw Vera, the red-headed girl from the dan cing school, in the wings. She had parted bad friends with Vera be cause she had taken Andy Adair conn ITSGfOflSM Salem began Its 17th day of con tinuous freezing weather today. With the sky clear overhead and the wind still In the north there was no prospect of immediate abatement. The official temperature was given as , 15 degrees above sero Monday morning. Monday evening at 11 o'clock it was. registered at 20 degrees above xero and was slowly descending. Uniformly " low temperatures have prevailed daily for the last week?

Lyte from withholding permits for wine ' for ' sacramental purposes was dismissed today, by Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer. ground for her act. Vera watched Betty until she had half finished her dance. Then walking Into the middle of the stage, she demand ed of the stage manager, "Is that long-legged amateur the best you got for that dance?" "She Is," answered the stage manager. "Then I will save you the twenty- or twenty-five dollars you are paying her. I don't want1 her in my act." "She's all right," the stage man ager defended splritldly. "She's an , auburn-headed gyp sy!" laughed Vera, sarcastically. "I never saw one with an auburn head or legs that long. This is my act. I'm not asking you to get an other woman. I'm telling you she won't do. and that's that!" "You are the doctor, of course" agreed the stage manager. When Vera walked off the stage he said: "Sorry. Brown, but it is her act. Nothing doing this week Come back next week and we'll see if there's a Job for you." As Andy Adair was to call for her that night at the stage door, she telephoned him at his home that she would not be at the the ater that night. . i "What's up?" asked Andy. ."Your red-headed friend Vera Is the solo dancer. She Is paying :ne back for your deserting -her tor me down at the camp." "She's a cat!" laughed Andy. "Where are you?" "In one of the 'phone booths In the lobby." "Walt 15 .minutes. I'll come get you." Betty was, lonely and unhappy, and only too glad to see Andy and get a chance to tell him her sor rows. In a few minutes she was in his car and whirling down the river road. In reply to Andy's questions, she told him the circumstances. Andy was sympathetic, and said enough unkind things about Vera to put her In a good humor. They drove to a roadside inn, where Andy insisted on having lunch. During the lunch hour a girl entertainer sang several popular songs. As she finished. Andy turn ed to Betty suddenly and said: "I got me a wow of an Idea. They hit me like that sometimes." : "What is it?" laughed Betty. ! "1 know a couple of young fel lows who : are running the Iron Door. It's the best bet in town as a nlrht club. They put on a show at dinner and one at the after theatre hour. I believe I can get vou a lob there. They are closed on Sunday. I'll take you there for dinner and see whatI can do. If a girl makes good they keep her for months." They drpve around the country roads until time to go to dinner, going early so they could see the show. There were only five num bers on the bill, each performer appearing twice with a change of eostume and then in the ensemble number with all on the floor at the same time. , Betty watched the show care fully, the dancers especially.. She told Andy she could make good in such company. "As soon as the crowd scatters" he said. "I'll get Bill Paxton to come and talk to you." He sent a waiter for - the. pro prietor, who soon joined them at the table. --Bill, this is my friend, Betty BrownShe is the best .dancer in this town. X want you to giro her a Job." "What do you do? Where have you worked?" asked Patton. "I have been at the urpneum the last two-weeks. Did a solo ec centric Greek dance with a part ner last week. I can do half a dozen different dances." Got costumes? Do you drink?" He seemed to ask questions dou ble to save time. "Plenty of costumes. : I do not drink." - v "Try you tomorrow night. Hare to go to the table and talk to nice men but no drinking. Get Intro-, duced and all that. Six days a week.' Two shows a day. : Seven o'clock; and 12 o'clock. First time you show up full you are fired. Seventy-five bucks." "What do you mean, talk to nice men?" asked Betty. . . "It's all right." assured Andy. "Now and then men come in here alone, and want to chat with some nice girl. Bill . will Introduce you to them and you sit at their table - County Expenditures Salem. Oregon.
