Very well, Harry. If you don’t care to discuss it, that suits me. I have my own ideas on the subject, and after thinking the matter over I've decided to take my money

Lee's. And added to that he felt that In order to prove to both Mary and his father his ability he must allow that he had real worth in the theatre. But at the same time the scene between Carter and Lee had made him realize the hurt the elder comedian was sustaining. So it was with mingled sensations that he caught Carter's words to the
producer.
"Look here, what’s the big Idea,” he could hear Carter saying. ‘Tve worked up that number all through rehearsals. The house Is going to be packed tonight with my frlonds, and they’re expecting to see a lot of me. What do you think they're going to spread around Broadway tomorrow?”

money out this afternoon!’’ "I realize that,” Dtllings spoke
coldly. "But I’m not concerned with the theatrical business, and you know quite as well as 1 do that I didn’t put money Into the show because I was looking for profit. I put It In because of my Interest In Mary—and I wanted to seo tier given her proper chance. Of course, you know that we were engaged once, and until this Robin person appeared on tho scone I
still hoped—’’
"Good Lord! Robin hasn’t any-

“Mr. Lee,’’ he began, "I'd much

nnd dance man amt he knows how to get that sort of thing across.” "Losing your nerve, Jack?” Lee turned on Uie young songster severely. “Don't you want this op-
portunity?"
"Of course, I do, Mr. Lee. But I'm thinking about the success of
your show."
"I’ll worry about that. You don’t have to. Wo go through dress rehearsal the way I told you. Gene, get everybody 'lined up for the opening number." He turned on his heel abruptly and went over to the stage manager. "Well, I’ve been on the stage for forty years and I’ve never had anything like this happen before. I’m through,” Carter mumbled bit-
terly.
“Awv listen, Carter, don’t got sore now" Jack pleaded. “Walt until tomorrow—Lee’ll probably be only ton glad to give you your own number and all mino, too. Liston, Tve got an idea for a new scene for us. and I'm going to ask Lee If we can use It. Come on over bore and I’ll tell you about It." He led the way to where Mary was waiting and drew her arm through his. "Mary, what do you think of this for a scene for Carter and me.” He began to explain his sketch, trying to take away some of the sting of Carter’s hurt. As tho throe stood deep In dtsrnsslon Hillings sauntered In from the wings. He glanced across the ■tage and remarked the conference, nnd Jack and Mary’s friendly attitude was by no means lost on tho banker. But neither of them noticed him, absorbed as they were, and as he turned to find Lee they wero both hurrying toward tho dressing room to get Into their cos-
tumes.
Lee was leaning over the assistant stage manager's table busily making changes In the manuscript before him when he was Interrupted by an: "Hello, Harry." He turned and looked up. "Oh, hello, Kandy. Come to see the rehearsal?’’ he said, smiling vaguely. "No,—I came to sss you, peri on-
here nor there. As 1 said before, I had hoped that Mary might change her mind, but now—” DillInga shrugged his shoulders. “I’m no stago door Johnny. I’ve carried this matter quite as far as I caro to under the circumstances. From now on what Mary chooses to do is her own business. So If you don’t mind, Just mail me a check this afternoon and we’ll forget all about It.” "But you’re not actually taking this boy seriously!” Lee exclaimed. “Why, he’s nothing but a kid. I think he's going to make a good actor—but—” “You and Mary seem to take him seriously enough,” Dillings retortr ed. “Mary’s friends are already gossiping. So far as I’m concerned I have nothing against the boy. 1’vo only met him casually. But ho's certainly not Mary's sort. However, If he’s worth more to you than my money—’’ “Well,’’ Lee hesitated, considering the matter Then he became determined. “Yes, I believe be Is,” he answered decisively. "Very well," Dillings turned t«
go.
"Just a moment," Lee spoke quickly, laying a detaining hand on Dillings’ arm. "Gener” he
that 'Cotton called. "Gene! Ask Miss Dale an old song-1 to come here a moment,” he told
tho stage manager who came out of the wings at his summons. “Look here,” Dillings drew himself up haughtily. "I don’t car to have Miss Dale brought into tht
discussion."
"We're going to settle this rlgh now,” Leo declared firmly. ’Tl prove to you—Just for your owi satisfaction — that Jack Robil doesn’t mean a thing in Mar Dale's life. And if I do that, wii you let things rest as they are?’’ The two men faced each othei Dillings inwardly seethed at thl new turn of affairs. Proud, aristc cratic, he could not help but thin] that this was a matter to be con ducted between gentlemen—that ! was totally unnecessary and no particularly subtle to ask a wo man to declare or air her affection! before the world, even though thai world consisted of but three Inter rated parties. Furthermore, he bo lleved that as long as Mary felt ai she did there was no point In caus ing her the embarrassment of stating her attitude toward himself. Lee, how'evor, wanted matters settled, and settled Immediately. With him this was all a business proposition. He was accustomed t« dealing with those varieties of “angels" who were either backing wires or sweethearts, nnd tt was no new proposition to have to deal with this sort of thing. So far as he was concerned Mary might have been a princess of the royal blood, and he would still have acted on the situation In this sama manner. Ho was always direct, firm and decisive, and now he Was behaving as be would in any business affair. Hut neither man was guessing aright as to Mary’s attitude. "Hello, Randy,” the girl swung across the stage In a shimmering gown that revealed her lithe, perfect figure to best advantage. "Hello, Mary,” Dillings bowed. ”1 Just ran In for a moment to see how things were going. I—I •• b 9 turned as though to go, "I have some business to attend to.

William A. Fields, a DePauw senior, once took part in quite a dramatic ship mutiny. Fields, an American sailor, had jumped his ship at Southampton, England. He w'as three thousand miles from home, in a strange land with no money or friends. Tho only thing to do was to apply to the American consul for aid. After he had walked the floor and sworn for quite a long time he secured passage for Fields and a similar unfortunate, working their passage across on a merchant ship. Now there are no union hours in the merchant service and fourteen is the usual limit, provided you don’t work longer. At 4 o’clock the first morning the bo’sn called down the
hatch:
