arousing Bars jealous anger.
CHAPTER X—Continued.
At last came a day when, at luneb
hour, Betsy framed the question
that bad been dawning In her mind.
They were seated In a quiet corner
of the deserted glass studio on a
Louis XIV. “love seat," which had
been trundled off the set before be
ing returned to the property depart
ment.
"Why do yon dislike Mr. Marshall
soT When he asked ns to go tor a
ride the other night you were posi
tively rude, Hal."
"Asked vsT" exclaimed Hal bit
terly. “When be asked you, you
mean!"
"He always means 'the both
•t us!"
HaL In an excess ot devotion,
'caught her hand gently; “Dear lit
tle goose, be never means us He
wants only you. It Is you. In your
sweetness, who gives him credit
tor being more of a gentleman than
he Is."
She slapped bis band with pre
tended severity. "Hal," she said
crossly. “1 believe you're Jealous."
“1 am. pet!" be mumbled, catch
ing bold of her In hts arms “Oh.
Betsy, dear, can't you see that I'm
worried over the Interest you show
In that man’s attentions. Hts pose
“Oh, Betsy dear, can't you tee
that rn worried r
of friendly adviser Is tooling yon.
Borne day he’ll break through that
▼eneor, and yon'U see the' truth.
Please, Betsy, for my sake, be fore
warned and avoid that day. It
would only bring trouble—serious
trouble—tor I’d kill him or any
other man who aver said a wrong
word to you."
“Hal, Hal! Don’t bold me so
tight You’re hurting me," she
cried, straining away from his Ups;
affrighted at last by the flame be
hind the smoke. Then, thrilling
unaccountably, she trembled a little
and laughed nervously.
“Hal, you're getting positively
dramatic. If a director saw or
heard you that time you'd get a
star contract right away.” Then
she added, more softly, “Dear boy.
you're worried without cause. Mr.
Marshal] has never said a thing he
shouldn’t say. If be did, yon may
be sure I’d never speak to him
again."
She relaxed Into bis embrace,
■tirred in away she never had
been before; she found the strong
pressure of Ms young arms and
body comforting now, rather than
hurtful; and In return strained
herself against him with awakened
fire. After a while she whispered
through lips that ware moist on hit
cheek:
"Promise me you won’t talk any
more about killing—people."
“Then promise me you’ll have
nothing more to do with Marshall,”
he muttered huskily Into her wispy
hair.
"Oh. Hal," sbs exclaimed, more
ealmly now as they relaxed deco
rously upon hearing the approach
of a whistling stage hand on the
other side of the ’’flaL" “I can’t
promles that, for If I'm to give up
air my contacts, all my chances to
learn through meeting and talking
with people. I’ll never get any
place."
But when ehe saw the returned
disappointment and bitterness film
ing Ms 'eyes, she hastened to lay
her warm hands over hie and add.
"But I’ll promise yon, Hal, dearesL
that I’ll never let the eennefleaea at

i Hal had to be content with that;
• and bye and bye as the mingling
' flames of love and hatred cooled s
i bit, he smiled ruefully and sportily
1 tried to see the reason In Betsy'i
! argument
1 Extras and stage hands, their
lunch hour over, were reassembling
on the adjacent set, In which Betsy
was to work that afternoon. For
’ his part Hal was working In an
outdoor Alaskan set, whose snow
and Ice and wind-machine made
blizzard were erected amid th*
semi-tropical foliage of the Studio
back lot. So It was time to part
But first Betsy said suddenly:
“Hal, do you realize that a week
from today onr two-months con
tracts will be np. What shall we
do then?"
Hal concealed his worry under
an offhand manner. “Oh, don’t
cross that bridge until you come to
It, Betsy," he encouraged. "Maybe
they’ll give us more work. If not
there are the other Studios."
"But I’ve done so terribly In
everything. I’m very much afraid
they won’t have any more work for
me.” Betsy was much disturbed by
the thought of the regular contract
salary stopping, and the uncer
tainty of bit jobbing looming ahead.
"You might be pleasantly sur
prised. I’m sure they can spot real
talent and beauty under a little
ease of stage fright”
That afternoon, however, both,
with the shadow of that next week
on their minds, redoubled their ef
forts to please—and In their over
anxiety, of course, only failed the
harder. It was the same story
throughout that all too short week
as It slipped by ou reels of wind.
On the day that marked the six
tieth since first they arrived upon
the Amalgamated Lot full of great
dreams and high ambitions, Cam
eron summoned both to his office
early In the afternoon.
Directly they were seated facing
him. Cameron swung from Ms desk
and came to the polnL
"As you know, of course, the con
tracts under which the Amalga
mated Studios brought you here
expire today. I’m sorry to tell you
that we have no more steady work
for you and will have to remove
your names from the payroll to
day."
“Oh.” cried Betsy, “then we’ve—
we’ve failed? Our tryouts were un
successful?"
“Yes," said Cameron bluntly.
Hal . gelt the hot color of die
appointment burning in his cheeks;
but his primary sorrow was not foi
himself, but for Betsy, whose eyei
glistened with tears.
"I tried my best,” sbe lamented
"I wanted so much to—make good."
"And so did I," said Hal, think
lng of how his mother and his sis
ter would take the news of hit
failure; and all the good frlendi
in Centipede who had seen him off
who had worked hard to gain votei
for him so that he could have this
chance. He had failed their faith.
That thought alone made him sud
denly stubborn, made him forget
his common sense declaration!
about going home If he failed
“And I've been working right
along," he said doggedly, “without
any kicks lately. What’s the mat
ter with what I’ve done, anyhow?’
“You've worked, it is true. But
you haven't shown anything that
convinces us we ought to keep you
on the regular payroll. That, o;
course. Is an arrangement we makt
only with stars and the very bes:

No matter how much humans ar!
prepared for death or failure, tb*
shock of the actual occurrence ol
either of these rawest experiences
of life Is never any>the less. Betsy
and Hal. although they had talked
it over and were prepared for tht
possibilities, looked at one anothei
In dismay now that they suddenly
realized to the full that they wers
cast adrift on the teeming sea ol
