Gusty Galr, after ' few hours of remorse, had be come shadowy figura outside the shimmering fringe of her dream world. At time he tried to push through and tantalize her con science, but Francie fought off these Intrusions, i Jerry Finney brought her back to the hotel late Saturday after noon. As she walked to her room, Francie caught herself thinking that Jerry hadn't even wished her ; good luck. He had been too busy - talking about his own part in the broadcast. Aunt Hat bounced up to meet Francie. "I don't know what's got into your father. An hour ago he received a telephone ealL He went out in a rush and I haven t seen him since. Now who in the world would call him here?" Francie had a cold feeling in the pit of her stomach. "I I don know, Aunt Hat, unless . , "You're thinking of Gusty again," Aunt Hat accused. "No, I'm not!" Francie denied with far mora emphasis than was necessary. At 7 o'clock Aunt Hat said, "Whatever shall we do. Francie? Do you think anything might hare Happened to your father? Francie bad bought some the atrical make-up and was making her fresh young face rather gro tesque with it "Of course not. Aunt Hati" But as it drew near 7:30 Francie began to share her aunf s nervous ness. It wasn't like Pops to be mysterious. But what could she do? She couldn't miss the big mo ment of her life . . . Aunt Hat settled the matter by calling a cab. A page boy examined Francie's ticket, then gave it back. "Hold your ticket" he intoned. "Mr. Rhinegold and Mr. Klump will in terview alter the broadcast," A second boy said, "Come this way, miss," and led her to tht stags where nearly 60 wide-eyed youngsters fidgeted. The curtail ; hadn't gone up yet. Francie seat ed herself and tried to appear self possessed. She wasn't "green" like . the others, she told herself. Sht was a personal friend of Jaxrj jumey. A BOTE and on either side of the stage was a glass-fronted booth. In one of these sat a group of people in evening clothes. In the other, four men hovered around an instrument panel. One at them wore headphones; another leafed through typewritten pages. The curtain rose, revealing a mass of upturned faces. Francie's heart leaped. To be singing before all these people! It was her dream some true. Her throat felt tight md her knees shook. In the control booth the man with the headphones brought his Inger down in an arc. The an nouncer spoke into the micro phone in low pleasant tones. ". . . and now, ladies and gentlemen, I'd Ilka to introduce that brilliant roung actor and comedian who to- j eight will be our master of cera, Bwrues Jerry Finney!" Jerry ran on stage, smillne" and sowing. He read his lines with the ssuranee or. a veteran. He intro lueed the first participant in the -raraae or American Youth" broadcast He stepped away from be microphone, and a lank-haired roung man began to sing "Roses ot ricaray in a shaky voice. Jerry stood only a few feet from rr ancle. Eagerly she waited for bun to pick her out of the crowd, to smile encouragement at her; but he had eyes only for the au- aience. He did a few dance steps, nimlcked the young amateur. mugged. A ripple of laughter arena in on ine song. Frasicle plucked at Jerry's coat With her lips she formed, "Hello, tarry. He turned with a frown, nodded briefly, then moved sway from how the young idiot got inside of a studio. They were ready to shoot an automobile smash-up, and the stunt man hadn't ap peared. Gusty bluffed himself into the job and Just about broke his neck ramming stone wall." "Gusty did that?" Francie's eyes sparkled with tears. Mr. Weston said. "You aaa. Francie, he was trying to stick It out until the broadcast He had to have money to rent another trumpet" Francie's cheeks burned. She looked at the floor. "I I tried to find him." "Let's be honest Francie. You were busy with young Finney." "B-but Pops, Gusty cant play now. Why shouldn't I have my chance?" "If you want it Francie." aaa THEY stood in silence a moment On the stage the orchestra stopped playing. Jerry Finney's voice carried to Francie: "And now, ladies and gentlemen, a clev er little lady who sings them sweet and hot Miss Francie Weston." "Pops! That's me! It's my turn to singt" Francie was pale, breath less. "I can go to Gusty as soon as the program's over." "Yes, Francie, you can. But Urst, Gusty sent something to you. He had the nurse call all the ho tels to find me. He wanted yon to save this." Francie stared. "It tf a his wal let" "Yes. He never discovered ma loss of the ticket" And and he wanted me to have it" Francie choked. -After the way I acted . . ." "Yes, dear, and ha needa you now." Jerry Finney's voice was louder, a little irritated: "Miss Francie Weston, please." The orchestra played a second Introduction. Francie pressed her fingers Into her eyes. Just a few quick steps would take her back into her bright world of glamor. But if Gusty died as she sang . . . Jerry's voice seemed to come from a great distance: "Last call.
