BEGIN HEBE TODAV Beginning as an extra, ANNE WINTER has progressed rapidly and Is under contract to Grand United, one of the largest of the Hollywood motion picture studios. Anne has been living with two other girls. MONA MORRISON and EVA HARLEY. Mona and Eva are extras, but Mona works only occasionally and Eva but rarelv. Eva Is bitter over this, and over a tragic love experience. She quits Hollywood finally, leaving behind her a heart-broken note for Anne and Mona. DAN RORIMER. former New York newspaper man and now a scenario writer. Is in love with Anne, hut he has rome to regard bis feeling for her as a hopeless one. Every step upward that Anne takes seems to remove her all the fsrther from him. especially since his release from Continental Pictures and his rather unsuccessful attempts to free lance. PAUL COLLIER, who writes a daily movie column for a string of newspapers. shares Dan's apartment with him He has great faith in Dan's ability, despite the later's discouragement. While in New York Dan had written a plav for the legitimate stage. His agent, unable to place It. finally sends it back to him. and Anne Winter and Collier, ■when they read it. are enthusiastic over It. They urge Dan so revise it for the movies. Anne, who has not vet had a dramatic, role on the screen, savs she would love to plav the part of the main girl character. Dan follows their advice and the Diav is accepted bv Grand United. He is given to understand that, they think highly of him and mav offer him a contract. Thru he suggests to the studio executive that Anne Winter be coneldered for the picture NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-POUR W Mr. Johnson said, "it might be difficult to give that part to Miss Winter, even if she did qualify. In the first place, there are several nice girls around here who probably will want it.’’ He smiled. "Keeping peace in the family is one of our most difficult jobs at times. Isn't that right, Phillips?” The scenario chief grinned. "I'll say.” "And it will be up to the director to decide, anyway.” Johnson went on. “There's no question about Lester Moore, of course; he’s the logical choice for your gangster. . ‘‘But there are half a dozen girls at least, who might do for Jenny. So, you see . . .” He smiled. Rorimer, of course, could understand that casting was not such a simple matter. Rorimer nodded. He said he hoped the others would not think him so foolish, or presumptive, as to try to tell him what to do. "Especially after you’ve been so kind to me. But I thought that if we all agreed on Moore—as I had hoped would happen—you might think a suggestion was in order. When I was working on that treatment there, I had Anne Winter in mind as well as Lester Moore.” He smiled apologetically. "You see, I know what Anne Winter can do, and I don’t believe you do.” That, he admitted to himself, was not true; he didn't know what Anne was capable of; he only believed he did. But he knew what Anne Winter wanted to. do. ‘ Wouldn't it be possible,’ he suggested. "to give Anne Winter a test for the part? You could soon find out whether she can play it or not. I've got a lot of brass, I know,” he added with a grin, "but I've got an idea that in the end you may thank me for this.” Johnson and Phillips both laughed. "Well, you make it sound pretty reasonable,’ the former admitted. "I've got an open mind, but 1 don’t mind telling you I'm from Missouri. “I'll tell you now I'll suggest to the director that Miss Winter be given a test, but I won't go beyond that. We don't, believe in interference. Itll be Garry Sloan, I guess. If Sloan agrees ” Baa IT would be Sloan. Dan thought. and the rest of the other's words were lost on him. He thought it strange ♦hen that it had not occurred him before—the oossibility ti C rry Sloan's being chosen: but the Kea never had entered his head. MR. JOHNSON let. the matter rest there; lie-began to talk of other things Might, as well get down to brass tacks. Would Rorimer be ready to start at once on the scenario? “First, thing tomorrow morning,” Dan said. ‘ That’s fine.” He rose and held out his hand, laid the other hand on Rorimer's shoulder as he walked with him to the door. "Just to tip you off.” Phillips said Jn a low voice ah they walked down the hall, "when the boss says he may offer you a contract, that means he will. Johnson's pretty cautious, than way. but his words better thar • gold bond Ants,” he added, "I'll lie darned glad to have you with us.” He asked then if Dan would Uke to b§ shown around the lou ‘Til

be tied up myself, but we can get hold of someone in the publicity department to take you around. Might as well look the place over, now that you’re going to be working here.” So Rorimer was taken in tow by an agreeable young man from the publicity department. The tour was a short one, though, because only one stage was busy at the time, and when they returned to the offices Dan asked him if he knew whether Miss Winter was around. After some inquiries his guide learned that she had left for the day. Shortly afterward Dan departed, and he dro’v at once to the bungalow, where he found Anne and Mona in aprons, preparing dinner. Anne said at once. “Dan, you’ve brought good news! I can see it in your face.” And he admitted that that was true. "It went over, Anne; Grand United bought it.” "Oh, that’s wonderful, Dan! Sit down and tell me all about it. Dinner can wait, Mona; we simply have to hear this right away; I can’t wait another minute.” He laughed happily, knowing no other triumph that could equal this present one; and he followed them to the sofa, where they made him sit between them and relate the thing from beginning to end. "Talk about a break!” Dan said joyfully, with an arm around each of them. "I still don't believe it. Anne, pinch me, will you?” They were excited, animated listeners; they were unable to keep from interrupting his recital with eager exclamations. "A contract, Dan! That’s wonderful!” "Well, maybe. That remains to be seen.” ( And Dan saved something for the end. "The best is yet to come,” he said, looking at Anne. “They may give you a chance, Anne, at the part of Jenny. How’d that be I spoke to Johnson about yen, and he promised that he’d suggest to the director that you be given a test.” "Dan, you didn't!” "I sure did.” 808 "T TOW did you ever dare?” 11 "Why don't you behave?” Mona demanded. "What do you mean, dare? Why shouldn't he?” ‘Sure, why shouldn’t I?” said Dan. "But listen, Anne. Garry Sloan's the director. You'd better see him right away and tell him you’d like that screen test. "Tell him you'd like to play that role and you want to show him wlrnt you can do. Don’t be afraid to speak up, because if you don’t he might make up his mind on somebody else before you get a chance.” Anne shook her head. "Oh, I can’t do that.” ‘Why not? Johnson's going to suggest it to him. Sloan can’t take your head off for telling him how much you'd like it.” Dan said, "Sloan likes you, doesn't he?” Anne looked at him a little queerly and made a denial. "Why should he? He has been kind, of course, but—” "Just the same,” Mona put in, “you do as Dan says. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. They'll think a lot more of you for it, won’t they, Dan?” Rorimer agreed, and Mona said, 'Remember what happened when you turned down that first contract. That didn’t hurt your standing any did it? Johnson didn't get sore, did he? Tell’ em what you want. Anne. If I ever get along as far as you’ve gone 1 11 speak my piece all right—loud and often.” Mona laughed. "You wouldn't see little Mona overlooking any breaks. Just let me at ’em!” ".Just what did you tell Mr. Johnson about me?” Anne asked, and Dan related what had taken place that, afternoon. He and Mona argued persuasively enough to win her consent to speak to Garry Sloan at the first opportunity. "Another thing,” Dan said. "You might as well be learning a few of these lines. You can be going through them at home here.” He brought a pencil out of his pocket and asked if there was any paper handy. "There's a couple of scenes Id like to give you a few notes on. Remember the place. Anne, where Michael is framed and the cops take him away, and Jenny learns that he thinks she was the one who framed him?” She nodded. "Well, there's a real spot for Jenny there. It's a good scene. I'll jpt down the h§es for yoy-‘

HE began write on the pad that Mona had brought him, and Anne beside him leaned close to him and watched the rapidly moving pencil, mouthing the words as he wrote them down. "And here’s another pretty good one, Anne. You might as well be going over this one, too. Remember it?” She bobbed her head eagerly, and her eyes shene. “I think I can remember everything in the play, Dan. Oh, it's just a wonder; Mona, tell him how much I’ve talked about it to you. I’d give anything to play that part.” "I’m really beginning to think she would, Dan,” Mona said, laughing. She got up then and slipped out of the room, and from the kitchen she called back to Anne that she was going ahead with the dinner. "But don't worry about me spoiling anything. I'm just slicing the tomatoes.” Anne smiled and called out something in reply. "Poor Mona and her cooking!” she exclaimed softly, and bent once more over Dan’s •writing. Rorimer leaned back and tapped the end of the pencil against his chin. "How does Mona feel nowbetter?” "Yes, a great deal.” "Heard from Eva?” "No.” Mona called again to ask Dan if he w-ould stay for dinner. She came to the doorway to repeat the invitation, arid the sun, streaming through the green-curtained window behind her, made flame of her red hair. “Steak, Dan—and salad that little Mona is fixing all by herself. Better stay.” And Anne urged him. “Yes, do.” "For the sake of the salad, then, yes,” he said, and Anne left his side and went to the kitchen. He continued for a few more minutes to write, and when he put the pad aside he joined the girls in the kitchen, crying loudly that he wanted to be put to work. "And don’t thing I can’t cook a steak. Say, this is going to be a regular party. It’s Rorimer's night to howl, girls. After dinner, Miss Winter will entertain with a rendition of a couple of swell scenes from a swell play, and then we’re all going to go places and do things. Right?” / "Right,” said Mona. (To Be Continued) HE FOOLS THE BIRDS Garden Hose Keeps Peets From Wisconsin Garden. Bu United Preen BELOIT. Wis., Sept. s.—When Frank R. Cheney learned that birds are frightened by snakes, half of his task was over. When he chopped up discarded garden hose into convenient lengths and painted them to represent snakes, he was the victor in his conquest over birds that had threatened to plunder his garden.

TARZAN AND THE JEWELS OF OPAR

One afternoon of a sultry day the party hud camped beside a clear, beautiful stream. The bottom of the river was gravelly and there was no indication of crocodiles. So the Abyssinians took advantage of the opportunity to perform lcngdeferred and much needed ablutions. As Werper, who. with Mugambi, had been given permission to enter the water, removed his clothing, the black noted the care with which he unfastened something which encircled his waist. to

Taking off his shirt he took care to keep it always around and concealing the object of his suspicious solicitude. This very carefulness aroused a natural curiosity in Mugambi’s mind. In the nervousness of overcaution the Belgian fumbled and dropped the hidden article. Mugambi was no unsophisticated savage. He had been to London with his master, and, besides, he was a shrewd and intelligent man. The jewels of Opar rolled, scintillating, before his astonished m*

Mugambi recognized them for what they were. Furthermore, he recognized something else, too, that interested him far more deeply than the value of the stones. He recognized the leather pouch. Often he had seen it dangling at the side of Tarzan of the Apes. Werper saw that Mugambi had seen the pouch and the jewels. Hastily he gathered them both up. while Mugambi, assuming an air of indifference, strolled down to the river for his bath. A

The following morning Abdul Mourak was enraged and chagrined to discover that his huge black prisoner had escaped during the night, while Werper was terrified for the same reason, until his trembling fingers discovered the pouch still in its place beneath his shirt, and within it the hard outlines of its contents. It was not until several days were to elapse that the Belgian wa3 to find that what he thought were the jewels of , Opar had mysteriously turned to little, smooth , pebbles!.
