OKALD STEELE put Ills cigar down and spoke earnestly: You know, my dear, sitting here looking at you reminds me of something I've said Innumerable times befoie. Why not be sensible and stop hiding that charm and beauty in an accountants office? You were simply made for a screen career." Lorna Carroll's smile was at once dieamy and demure. "Your flattery's gorgeous, but a little oierdone. I'm afraid, Ronnie. Ill bet, though, that you didn't know 1 started out to have one once. Interviews, test, and everything."

The star had listened with genuine interest, but her filial statement brought a slight frown to his face. 1 he suggested a trifle suppose, stiftly, you're referring to that Of Edwards. sound technician course, Lorna, Its none of my business and all that; but I see you rather often with the fellow, and he hardly seems the right sort for you. please, Ronnie," she reproached gently, dont say things like that. Hes really very nice and so accommodating. Tonight after hoars lies going to run off my test In the projection room. Im curious to see It again. Just for Now, fun " The displeasure had gone from Steeles expression, to be replaced with something like amused speculation. After a moment of silence he remarked: Really? That should be fascinating; may I come?" she laughed. Why, of course! Youre a dear to want to. . slipped the typewriter's cover on, the outer door opened and Phil Edwards came In. Under one arm was a cylindrical metal box. He crossed toward her, saying: "Hello, honey heres your masterpiece. Ray. where were you at noon? I stopped by to take you eating. Too bad, Phil. I had another engagement and left a little early. Oh Ills tone was eloquent with disgust. That Steele egg again, huh? Gee, bahe, I cant see what you see In that phoney." She had risen and was before the mirror, powdering. Now, please, Phil, she begged. Hes a spiend'd man and so charming. . . . Come on let's go. Pm all thrilled with the Idea of seeing myself." Half sullenly, Edwards murmured something about "damfool actors. But when Lorna tucked her arm through his he grinned and moved with her toward the door.As Lorna ! - The projection room was small and dark and stuffy. Yet, to the girl watching and listening while her facsimile performed upon the silver sheet ahead. It had become a palace of dreams reborn. Every word, each movement, of that carefully gowned figure brought her ecstatic delight. She marveled now at her former willingness to pass up this joy supreme. Abruptly the single reel ended. Lights went on, and from the op- erators booth behind her Edwards called ; Thats all, folks; new show tomorrow. Shocked from her reverie, Lorna looked slowly around. In the back row sat two men, conversing ahsorbedly. One was Steele; the other she recognized as William Newsom, Zenith's ace director. In an Instant they rose and came forward. The actor said : Lorna, my dear, I took the liberty of bringing Bill 'ug. I think he has something to sav to you Newsom nodded briskly In response to her vague murmur, and dropped into the adjoining seat. As Steele lit a cigarette and strolled awav, Lorna saw Edwards come from the booth and approach aim. Ilien siie bocame oblivious to all save what the director was saying. The sound technician stopped squarely ln front of Steele and demanded: Say, just what's the Idea? Lorna wanted this private. Hont be absurd, the other snapped; I'm here because I was Invited, and Mr. Newsom came at m.v request" Oh. yeah? Why? Well, if you must know, I had bunch that test would be good, and I wanted to see Lorna get an acting chance. Anything more I can do for you? Edwards ignored the sarcasm and told him: 'Listen that kids a lot better where she Is than messing around In your end of the picture Lcsldes, Im going to marry her. o feteeles glance was of scorn and doubt. Youre not trying to tell me she's engaged to you? Maybe, not quite, but " I thought so, the actor cut In, openly sneering; just a presumptuous bounder. Now you listen to me: there happens to be others wholl have something to say about Lornas future, and Im one of them. Suppose you just withdraw your unsolicited nose. Glaring venomously, Edwards shot : To hell with you! Im taking Lorna to a show tonight, and fifty bucks say I talk her out of this whole nutty acting notion. Sorry," the star returned evenly, but Ive planned to have her attend a little party with me this evening where she can meet some really worthwhile people." Anger choked the other man's speech momentarily. At last he rasped: All right, smart guy ; lets just go see her and find out about this." ''Very well on one condition; If my invitation's accepted, youre to leave her alone from now on." Edwards looked him from top to toe with an acme of contempt and then drawled: Okay only It goes the other way, too. Get that? Agreed." Steele swung around to face an empty room. The two men exchanged blank glances, then: Mustve slipped out while we were talking, the actor asserted Come along well find tersely. her. Without further words they went across the lot to the administration building, and side by side marched Into the accounting office. Lorna was busy at her desk, taking personal effects from the drawers and piling them on top. Gazing from Steele to Edwards and back, she exclaimed: Ton Well, whats the matter? both look fearfully tragic. The star took a measured step forward and began: My dear. Its high time you told this fellow Walt a minute! Edwards InterIll do the talking. posed hotly. Honey, Its this way Kindly shut up This Is my concern and Yours nerts!

Edwards urged Don't, Babe, swiftly; lets go see Garbo and Gilbert and wind up at a beer parlor." There was a second's complete speechlessness.

He Is the one who adjusts the straps, the electrodes and that steel cap that looks so much like a football helmet His Is the hand that throws the switch that sends a current Into human nerve centers.

But he gave out an Interview. He had taken the Job through a sense of duty, he said. Some one has to do those things, he added. But he was no more revealing than that. Within a few months, his fears seemed Justified. His house was wrecked by a bomb loaded with steel slugs. He and his family were In It at the time, but escaped Injury. The bombing has never been solved. At the time It was suggested that radicals brooding over the execution of Sacco and Vanzettl, performed by Elliott, had attempted belated revenge.

One by one the committee had taken turns pleading, offering prizes, and beaming hopefully at the vast throng attending the circus. Josephus Braun, chosen by the committee to make a final plea because of his deep booming voice, stood that evening and beamed. He began by enumerating the prizes. He dwelt, touchingly, on the Interest all these people would take ln the young people to be married here. It was Just like a big, happy family, he said. Still, no response. The crowd sat like a great silent, breathing mass, waiting. Josephus Braun left the ring and consulted his brother committeemen. Now listen, ladies and gentlemen," he beamed upon his return. The committee will double double the cash prize if a couple will walk up here within the next three minutes and allow themselves to be married. .Just three He minutes, ladies and gentlemen took out his elaborate watch and marked the time. .Halfway around the auditorium a young couple rose, hesitatingly, whispering. The girl sank Into her seat again, but not before Josephus had spotted her. Come right along! he Invited cordially, waving the watch. Right this way There Isnt much time 1" The young man assisted the hesitant girl to her feet and led her, trembling, to the ring. Triumphantly, Josephus Braun bore his charges away. Flurry.

The circus band began to play Lohengrin, a little blarlngly. Attendants, drafted from the circus performers, and transformed by the magic of quick change appeared, taking their places with quiet dignity. And then the bride with a great bouquet of roses, still wearing her little dark suit, but very lovely! Her cheeks were deeply pink, and she was nervous and a little afraid, but there was a soft tremulous beauty about her that the crowd sensed and approved. A little darkeyed bride, trembling! They took her to their hearts and loved her, and smiled at her, and even wept over her, a little. It didnt matter about the groom. Just a young man, a little shabby. The wedding went on. The gifts were presented. Josephus Braun And beamed. The crowd beamed. the little bride blushed and smiled. The wedding was over. The crowd sighed a little regretfullly, and the circus went on while ln the committee room the bridegroom bargained with the committee, taking some of the prizes and trading others for cash.

"Tom, said the little bride, snuggling against his broad dark shoulder, do you think It was all right? Sure," said Tom, slipping his arm around her. I was awfully scared, she said, trembling a little ln remembrance I thought maybe theyd arrest us or something if they knew !"
