Mutually attracted, Betsy Ter

Hollywood as prize winner* 0/
newspaper contests for movie try
outs. They are depressed by the
number of people seeking work.
Movie oldthners see a mysterious
resemblance in Betsy to someone
they cannot remember, Hal flops
dismally as a cowboy. Betsy wit
nesses the humiliation of Virginia
Perry, erstwhile star, now a fallen
woman. Betsy modestly dreads ap

•nit she has been given to wear.
Bhe meets McLain, famous screen
roue.
CHAPTER Vll.—Continued
Gradually thla tongue-tie left her.
McLain was so convincingly friend
ly. Mrs. Perry and Clare seemed
to like and respect him. And as
they waited for the director to fin
ish his profound impromptu de
cisions as to the scene action, and
tor all the other welter of work
that precedes actual shooting .to
subside, Betsy found herself con
fiding to him piece-meal—and to
Mrs. Perry and Clare, of course.
Incidentally—the story of her con
test success, of her ambitions. It
was such a relief to reach sympa
thetic ears, to have the counsel and
advice of experienced lips.
Meanwhile, the bathing girls had
congregated In another group near
by and were drawing their own
conclusions as to McLain’s obvious
sudden Interest In Betsy. McLain’s
i screen prowess as a heart and
home wrecker was the only thing
known about him by the riff and
raff of studtoland; and, In the par
lance of that atmosphere, he had
-a “reputation" for a private life
that matched his famous screen
roles.
Presently the hard work of mak
ing a moving picture scene started.
Time after time the director re
hearsed all hands—parts and ex-

bathing beauties, Including Betsy,
was simple enough; at a signal
they were to effect a surprise

around the brink of a lawn pool,
and then dive In, while amazed
guests, startled by this latest

word from Clare that she did not
think it would be noticed.
Then the a tvful moment came.
“0. K. Now we’ll grind!” called

But the bathing girls at hand, un

them, and because of the champion

Clare, furious, raised her hand!
1 and stepped forward to slap the
face of the blonde; while Betsy,
beside herself with horror at the
insinuations, choked back a scream
with one tightly clenched little fist;
though she could not also stem her
quick burst of tears.
But before the situation could
come to a climax, the bark of the)

the lawn set, Intervened. The habit'
of work was strong upon these
girls; the mental mechanics of
earning their dally bread by dribs
and drabs made them automatons
of discipline. Clare literally paused
at the blonde's throat, to turn and
with an Instantaneously assumed
smile lead the blithe dance around
the tank.
Betsy, under no such lash of
necessity or stern experience, stum
bled blindly, haltingly, In their
wake; anger and shame had sapped
the spring from her young legs,
the strength from her body. And
when, a few moments later, she
dove Into the tank with the others,
who were ranged equl-dlstant,
around its rim, she became a vic
tim of fright and pent-up emotion
as the shock of the cold water
struck her.
Helplessly, she sank to the bot
tom of the tank. In a dead faint.
It was Clare who first saw her
plight, and dove to her rescue.
Then McLain and Virginia, regard
less of the Inexorably grinding
camera, Jumped to the edge of the
pool and cried out In their alarm.
In an Instant the whole set was in
an uproar.
Betsy, more dead than alive, was
fished to the surface by Clare, with
the help of the other girls, now
guiltily frightened by ihe realiza
tion of the nearly fatal results of
their tormenting.
Studios are ever ready fer emer
gencies. Skilled medical assistance
brought Betsy around, and present

And the director, although he
had not been able to make too

wrath because of the almost tragic
nature of the happening, had vowed
in his heart of hearts, and sworn
by all the celluloid gods, that never

CHAPTER VIM.
Marshall, with the race-old wis
dom of a hunter of human hearts
smiling remotely In the deeps be
hind the searching frontal glint of
his eyes and dripping' from his sly
words like Juice from poison ber
ries, was awaiting the tyroes when
they came home at the end of their
first studio day.
Marshall read signs as a sailor
reads the weather; legs are the
barometers of human spirits, event
as eyes and faces are the mirrors
of the soul. And Betsy and Hal,
trudging toward the porch where
Marshall stood on the top step, did
not stride along with the snap of
healthy Interest or the sure tread
of unimpaired confidence. Their
feet were heavy with the glutted
downcast mercury of subsided
hope; their faces were dull.
“Well, how did you like It? Have
a good day?” Marshall beamed.
Hal shrugged without replying,
but Betsy Innocently discovered In
Marshall’s friendly and encourag
ing manner an antidote for her
blues. She gave him back, wanly,
smile for smile. And when they
all were seated on the porch, Betsy
frankly confessed the dfiy’s dis
piriting trials, the while Hal sat In
moody silence.
Hal’s fists ached to knock from
Marshall’s eyes the hot greed that
gleamed there as he covertly drank
In the fresh and unsullied plcturo
of Betsy’s young charms; charms
that to Hal were as endearing as
they were Inflaming to Marshall:
Bat other thoughts pushed thelf
way Into Hal’s mind. While Betsy
continued to chat with Marshall.
