Rorlmer bad entered the res taurant with Martin Collins, the director, and Jim Donnelly; but ' t sight o( Era Hartley alttlni lone at a corner table, be eicus d himself and hurried orer to her. "Mind I Join you!" he asked, ud Kva, looking up. said, ".Not a bit; glad to have you." She wai In nialw-up: her cheek bright red. Hps carmine, dark blue . aye Intensified and enlarged by purple ahadowa, "Technicolor?"' Dan asked, tak ing a chair. He followed bor swift down ward glance at her costume. Her coat covered bare while armi and abonldera. and a low-cut. tlght watstcd gown of another era. "I'm uppoied to be a Klorldora girl," Eta explained briefly. "1 parked the hat." ' "I see." Dan. looking tout me restaurant, noticed other girls similarly arrayed; but these wore their old-fashioned bate without trace of self-consciousness, or. as at one table he aaw, thsy made merry Joke of It. "How long hare you been at Continental?" Dan asked, and Era. nnamlllngly. Informed him that abe was Just there for the day. n thn..rhi nltringly: "And to- Hnvrnw snnt In the hope that the next day. or the next, may bring frankly? a little mysterious." .thr Job. In the.name of hea-1 He smiled. "I felt that you didn't .inM she aland It: Anne sua .v-. around her, do you?" ehe demand ed, aud Dan aald ha hadn't. "And you won't, aa long as Mona'a willing to listen to me." iiorlmer thought that Eva liar ley waa dangerously close to teara There waa fierceness In her last sentence, a sort of ragged-edge quality that he felt might border on hysteria: and he welcomed the arrival of the waitress with theli luncheon. Hut he knew an Increased re spect for Kva Harley; and If bn had entertained any doubts con cerning her aullablllty as living companion for Anne Winter, they now were gone. He thought: "There's story somewhere down deep In Era. and It's not very pleasant. It a tearing her heart out." Presently he reminded the tall. blonde girl sitting across the table from him that, though she had given her reason for thinking that Mona'a chances for Hollywood fame were amall, she had not, af ter all, aald anything about her own rase. He knew that he would be Interested now In anything aha said about herself. "You don't mind, do you?" ha asked. Eva shrugged. "Why should I?" "Because." Dan said, "yon gave me the Impression when I met yon of being very quiet and eelf-etfac-ing and do yon mind It I speak h, asked casually, and Eva said they botn were tine. "Keening busy?" Not Just at present," Mooa. (he elaborated, had worked one day alnee Dan had seen her last, aud Anne had been relieved of ....,..- rfmiea in- "Married to Way" nearly week ago. "How did abe make out?" he "Anne? All right, Anne would, be added with eome emphasis. . He aald, "JuaVwhy do you aay that, Eva?" and she told him it was the way she felt about Anne. You can see U In her a blind man could.", Eva added, bitterly: "She a not Vu ordinary ham, like the rest of us; ahe'a a real actress. It she gets any breaks at all she'll make a tew of these' alleged aura look alck." i , "You really think ao?" he ask ed a little too eagerly, he thought and at Era's nod1 be produced hie cigareta and aald. but you're not fair to yourself, or to Mona." v Oh. yea t am." She paused while Rorlmer held a light to het cigareL "Mona." ahe aald, "Is one aweet kid; but ahe doesn't know what lt'a all about. She'll hace to be awfully lucky it she ever gets anything better than ex tra work." "She'e mighty pretty girl;" Dan aald. -"I thought ahe. war pretty clever." . . Eva's brief to tie came and went. "What of It?" abe chal lenged. "There's thousands Just aa pretty and Just as clever. Mona'a just a chorus girl lnHolly wood; but." she added, enthusi asm coming Into her voice and kindling her eyes. "If wishing could do It tor her Mona would be star. You wouldn't find it hard to remember ' tbat girl In your prayera It you knew her the way 1 do." i ' Her awlft ardor aurprlsed Rorl mer, left him a lltUe embarrassed. "I'm sure you're' right." he mur mured to fill In the alienee. Eva, blowing an' ash from bet clgaret and turning her gas to ward the sun-filled window, re marked that ft it had not been for Mona Morrison she would have left Hollywood long ago. - "But Mona." she aald, "makes me feel a little ashamed of the thongbt of giving up." "And you mean to aay." Dan demanded, "that's It's Mona'a cheerfulness and optimism that are holding yon here?" Hia tone carried skepticism, ind Eva, though ahe met his eyes calmly enough, colored more deeply beneath her makeup, and Rorlmer remarked that her hand trembled aa it closed on her water (lass. And her reply came with a hade of defiance and a touch ot bitterness. "That's not a),-" ahe admitted, "but it's one reason. Another, if you care to know it, la titat Mona'a Just a kid and sho needs somebody around who knows what's good for her and what isn't. You don't see any of these would-be sheiks hanging like me and that'a an uncomfort able sort of feeling to have." Era looked at him, looked him straight in the eyes until Dan felt awkward and til at ease: and he concluded then that Eva Harley would be the wrong person to lie to. "Because," he thought, "those eyes of hers would find it out." . She said presently, "You're all right. Dan Rorimer, and I do like you." "I'm very glad," Dan aaid. "1 like you, Eva." He thought, watching her: "What a heartbreaking smile!" "I'll tell you about myself," Eva said. "You've heard every body has heard of what happen ed to aome of tie stars when pic ture started to talk. There'a Bar rett, for instance the Great Bar rett: he'a through, and he doesn't know It. But all Hollywood knows it." And she mentioned others he had hesrd of. Bnt there were hundreds of other cases, no less tragic by reason of their ob scurity, that the world never would hear about. She said. "I ve got a voice like a night-club hostess: it's about as pleasant and musical aa scraping your finger-nail along a window pane. Konmer laugnea. issii iooi- ish talk, Eva." he said, but ahe told him: "You ought to hear how it records." . Before the mad rush tor talking pictures, ehe went on, she had found fairly ateady employment. ' I had some pretty decent bita. too. But now well. It you're pre- ty enough and small enough: if you can alng a little and do a tap- ; dance routine without falling on , your face, there'a Jobs to be had 1 in the revues. . . . That's not my style." Her laugh was short and , mirthless. "I'm out of luck, that's 1 all," she concluded. I But you're working today. Rorlmer pointed out. ! Yes. Today ... a on oi , scenery. ... ' A shaft ot sunlight tnrew an Irreznlar shadowed triangle on , her .throat and caught and held i the vellow gold in her hair, ao , that Rorlmer's eyes smarted at its I brightness. Eva, he thought. In her decollete costume of early-century vintage, and her exaggerated make-up, was like a atudy in dis illusionment aa she blew smoke across her shoulder from Ihe aide ot her painted mouth. She waa like those full-blown and fading creatures ha haj seen so otter on the screen as scarlet women of rough western dance halls; wo men, he reflected, whose sins sen timental directors generally wash ed away In great regenerating love or who expiated their purple pasts when they plugged the bad man and thus saved the herolue for a nobler passion. He sat studying her for a while. and presently Eva turned toward him again, extinguishing her rig- aret. and informed him that today was the first motion employment she had had In almost a month. Dan thought: "How can they lire?" His mind ran back to Paul Collier's speech that ntgbt about the extras of llollywwod. Collier had said something about their "hanging on and hoping that, by the grace ot tiod or something, lightning would strike them some how." And Collier had said some thing about the glamour of Hol lywood and Its Irresistible fasci- tlon. . . . Dan waa thinking of Collier and what the latter had called "The Hollywood Story," as he asked: Eva. how do they manage to get along, anyway?" He hoped, he told her, that she wouldn't regard the question as personal. "It's my newspaper curiosity, I aup pose: I haven't outgrown It. But it Eva. It makea a man wonder." (To Be Continued) Four Charged With Disturbing Meeting Charged with disturbing a re ligious meeting In Keno. four youths will go on trial In Justice of the Peace W. B. Barnea" court on August It.
