MARX SNOWLAND saw Doug Malcolm drive up to the curb in front of the small drug store. Pop James, gray and kindly owner of the store, was behind the soda counter, polishing glasses before the big fountain mirror. “Here he comes,” he cautioned. Mary ducked behind the partition that shut off the prescription cubby hole. Her heart was pounding. It might work, it simply had to work! Nineteen and lovely, Mary had put her blond curls beside Pop's gray head and plotted. Hollywood demanded more than talent. Mary was sure of her talent, but she had to have an opportunity. Doug Malcolm represented opportunity. Production | manager for Parex Pictures, all he had to do was nod, to give a girl a chance.

s ” ”

ALL, angular, and handsome, Malcolm -got out of his car and came into the drug store. “Good morning, Mr. Malcolm,” Pop greeted him. “Nice day.” Malcolm nodded and walked to the telephone booth. He had no telephone in his home, for he knew Hollywood well enough to know that a telephone, even with a private number, would make his. working day 24 hours long. He was in the habit of stopping at the drug store each morning” to phone his secretary that he was on his way to the studio. Mary had learned this from Pop, and it had given her the idea: they were trying. Malcolm stepped ‘into the booth and closed’ the door. Mary waited

| breathlessly. It seemed ages before

he came out. » ” ”

“y FOUND this handbag in the booth,” she heard him tell Pop. “Did you open it to see if the owner’s name was in it?” asked Pop. Mary peeped around the partition and saw them bending over the soda fountain counter, dumping the contents of the bag on the marble. There was a lipstick, eyebrow pencil, rouge box, handkerchief, a small coin purse, and a folded letter without the envelope. Mary watched Malcolmn unfold the letter and read it. He frowned.

’ HAT'S a strange coincidence,” he ‘commented. “It’s to some girl from her mother, but the strange thing is that the girl ‘is evidently from my home town. My name's mentioned in the letter. The mother wants this girl to see me.” “Well, now what do you know about that!” Pop marveled. “Does it give her name?” “It's addressed to Mary. That's

-fession, but Malcolm caught her

home-town people ought to get together. I hate crowded public dining rooms, but I'd like to have you have dinner with me. An aunt from Barndale is visiting me at present. If you'd like to have an old-fashioned home-cooked Indiana Ginner, I can pick you up on my way home about six-thirty.” “I'd love it,” Mary declared. 2 = a HE was dressed long before the desk clerk downstairs in the

lobby telephoned up that Malcolm was waiting. It was only a short

drive to his hilltop bungalow. The |:

motherly woman Mary had seen in his car that morning met them at the .door. She wore an old-fash-ioned apron, and the smell of food came out of the open kitchen door. “Aunt Emily, this is Mary Snowland from Barndale,” Malcolm introduced them. His aunt took complete charge at once. Chattering, fussing over Malcolm, running back and forth from the kitchen, she gave Mary no time to talk. All the time, a hard lump was hurting Mary’s. throat. She finally could not stand it an longer. : 2 8 =» “¢ NAN I see your garden!” she asked Malcolm. “Certainly.” a He led her out into fhe small pa0. : “I—I wanted to tell you I—I lied,” Mary faltered, winking. back tears. “I wrote that letter myself. I never lived in Barndale. I come from a little town in Illinois. I thought that hoax was a way to make you notice me and give me a chance but I know now I've just been cheap. I can’t stay for dinner after what I've done. I'm sorry. I really am.” She turned to flee, after her con-

wrist and drew her back. ® » ”

“Y ISTEN,” he said, with a smile. “You don’t think you fooled me, do you? I saw you in the mirror this morning when. you were peeping out from behind that partition. I suspected the letter was a fake, and when I told my aunt about it and told her your name, she said there were no Snowlands in Barndale, and she knows every man, woman and child that ever lived there. “I asked you to dinner tonight because I wanted to see if you were as pretty as you looked in the mirror, this morning. You are. Besides, I thought that any girl with spunk and ingenuity enough to think up a scheme like that deserved at least a chance. You come
