Tremont society for It was chiefly Tremont society that was they were aware that, with the publication of his first novel a year before, Bannister's picture had appeared ap-peared In newspapers and magazines. maga-zines. fhere had been a motion picture made from the novel. There had been some short stories, too, under his signature in a weekly magazine boasting the largest cir culation In the country. It was the Hollywood phase of Bannister's career that seemed most glamorous to Tremont. whose 140,000 population patronized two dozen motion picture houses. There were those who wondered why. after such triumphs, the you us; man should be back in the home of his boyhood. Looking at him a? he sat at the table with Jim Paxton, it was hard to believe Bannister waa making the visit to his aunt because, as the Evening Post had stated, he needed a rest. David Bannister seemed the picture of health. Paxton was talking now jerkily, jerk-ily, with that characteristic nervous ner-vous emphasis. "I think Burns is in Guatemala." he said. "At least he was the last I heard. And Snodgrass remember Snodgrass,1 don't you? Well, by George, he's raising chickens!" Bannister smiled. "A worthy enterprise," en-terprise," he commented.

She Was a pretty) girl . . . with grave, professional gossip distributors kept up with the times at Last. They might and no doubt would write of Adele but it would be to couple her "name- with that of Donald Quayle, the leading man whose fan mail was so enormous. Anyone who knew Hollywood at all would understand why Adele Allen had flirown over Dave Bannister Ban-nister for Donald Quayle. Bannister Bannis-ter was, to be sure, a promising young writer. One of the new-names new-names in literature. But Donald Quayle was an established success. Haudsoine. Wealthy, too, with a box office following reflected directly direct-ly iu his contract. Certainly it was easy to understand why Adele found Donald Quayle so fascinating. fascinat-ing. Banni trr stopped thinking about Quayle and thought about Adele. Adele's eyes, mucking and mischievous, mis-chievous, danced before him. Adele's copper tresses. The slim figure, so perfectly graceful, perfectly per-fectly rounded. Her soft, throaty laughter. Lips that were warm and inviting The picture disappeared in the cold, drizzling darkness outside. Bannister had known the girl in New Y'ork three years before. She had played a small part in a production pro-duction that had had a long run in the metropolis. He had met her at parties, taken her to dinner, been friendly in a casual way. Then last spring in Hollywood he had seen her again. That time there was no mistake about it. Suddenly, Sudden-ly, inevitably, he had fallen head over heels iu love. AdHe was playing play-ing small parts ilill but they were in pictures. ryWID had fallen in rove and it : had been for the first time in hi3 life There had been weeks when the joy of Adele, the beauty of her. the amazing, unbelievable j sweetness of her were overwhelm- j ing.

Her hair was blond. Adele had been given a part in a picture starring Donald Quayle. She had caught the director's attention, at-tention, had given life and vividness vivid-ness to the brief scenes in which she appeared and with that single performance she had stepped from the realms of the comparatively unknown to a place in the film firmament. fir-mament. With equal ease, too, she had stepped into a new existence in which Donald Quayle was always opposite her at luncheon tables, Donald Quayle was driving with her, dancing with her, swimming with her. David Bannister had returned to Tremont. He was 2000 miles from Hollywood Holly-wood and what was the good of it? Adele's smile, Adele's throaty laugh, Adele's trim, flashing ankles were as much in his thoughts as they had ever been. He had come home to rest, to definitely erase from his mind the nightmare he had been living through. But he had not succeeded. Tonight he would write another letter and then destroy it. He could write down the seering bitterness of his disillusionment. He could write, too. that he loathed and despised de-spised Adele. but he knew this was not true. He knew that he loved her. Scorned her, saw her for exactly ex-actly what she was and yet loved her. The taxicab swerved, rounding a corner, and Bannister's preoccupation preoccupa-tion faded. He saw ahead two bright lights and recognized the entrance of the Shelby Arms, t lie city's new and only apartment hotel. ho-tel. The Shelby Arms had been pointed out to Bannister half a dozen times by prideful citizens. It was generally considered that the apartment hotel appreciably increased the metropolitan loue of Tremont. Signal lights halted the taxicab directly in front of the building and Bannister studied the brightly For WANT ADS Phone 495 Want ads will appear on the Classified ad page if they are in the office before D a. m. after which they will appear in the column "Too rite for Classification."
