"Engaged?" repeated Marne with

"Didn’t Moby Dickate'n tell you
I intended we should be engaged?"
' Ho rray have rr.ad? aonie refer

“My instructions,” said A. Leon
complacently. There was a swift
nnaf, suggestive of legerdemain,
and a large, pure diamond was
sparkling into her eyes. "Whad

"It's lovely," was her involuntary
admission.
''It's yours, durr-lmg."

the better to emphasize his impres

"But, Mr. Snydacker, Tm not en

"No; but—"
“And I don't want to be."
"You don’t want to be engaged to

“I’m afraid 1 don’t"
“Lissen. When I say engaged, I
mean the real McCoy. This is brass

paper engagements for publicity.
It's regular, see? I'm telling you I’ll
marry you" He was putting his case
with a skill, a tact, a persuasive
magnanimity which roused the live
liest appreciation in his own mind.
“Just as snor..” he added in after
thought. “as I can get my divorce."
It was a painful shock to him to
hear her laugh. And there was no
bitterness in her mirth: it was
whole-hearted. He was astute
enough to recognize this for a bad
sign. And yet—surely she wasn't
turning him down. Not A. Leon

thority, his millions.
“Oh dear,” she murmured- “How
i can I get it over to him? I don't
want to marry you, Mr. Sr.ydcck
er.”
“You don’t want to marry me?”
“No; it you don’t mind. I don't
want to marry anybody,"
"I don't get your point of view,
darr-ling. I don't get it at all."
"Do you want me to leave the
company?"
“No; no," he cried, alarmed.
“Nothing like that”

Here he was offering her—Oh, well!
Let it go lor the present.
"O kay." he yielded sadly. "We'll
leave it lay." He extended the soli
taire. "you keep this to kinda hold
the thought."
"Oh, no! 1 couldn’t possibly.”
"I'll charge it to the studio and
you can wear it as a prop.” he
propounded in one of his bursts ol
inspiration. “Think it over anyway.
Think the whole proposition over."
Gloria and Moby Dickstein re
lieved the situation by appearing to
keep an appointment which their
bosa had lorgotten. When this had
been postponed and Marne had left
with them, the ring in its elegantly
embossed case still rested on the of
ficial desk.
Out of hia instinctive knowledge
of women, A. Leon Snydacker
evolved a measure of strategy to
resolve the deadlock. While all were

It also brought the engagement ring,
plus the emeralds, back to their
purchaser. Ho word came with
them.
In unendurable anguish of soul
A. Leon began to suspect that he
was being played for a tucker
which, to his proud spirit was *
fata worse than death. He raged.
He cursed. He sent for Moby Dick
stein and fired him again, re hired
him, ro fired him, and finally told
him to get out By the time the

ing fact j'.um was at the Park House
in Moldavia, treating his spiritual
injuries with cocktails. Tee busi
ness of being fired had finally got
on his seasoned nerves.
While chaos wr.s brooding. Marne
and Clori.n were la*u:g a sail on tlic
lake. One of the daily rain-squalls
chased them in. wet and disgusted.
The first thing they noticed was a \

which A. Leon Snydacker had set up
In the front hall for the daily edi

end read:

ORDER OF
A. LEON SNYDACKER,
PRESIDENT,
PURITY PICTURES, INC.
Gloria's fair, straight brows drew
down in concern. “Now, what’s the
idea of that?”
“Let’s ask Moby,” suggested her
companion.
A sound of melancholy song Is
sued from a aide-room. Mr. Dick
stein had returned from the Park
House. The girls knocked and were
bidden in formal tones to enter.
The First Assistant rose to welcome
them with a knightly bow.
“Your servant, ladies,” said he.
“You’re drunk,” said Gloria.
“I’m not,” said Moby.
“He isn’t," said Marne. “But he’s
been drinking.”
“Licks that touch lipper shaU nev
er touch mine,” recited Moby sol
emnly. "Aside from that, if you’d
been fired’* often as me, so would
you.”
“Are you really fired?"
“I’m flred; you’re fired; he, she or
it is fired," parsed Moby. “We’re
fired; you're fired: the whole bunch
is fired."
"Do you believe him?" Marne
asked Gloria.
“Neither do I,” Moby answered
for her. “Not necessarily. I'll find
out. I'U ask Tweedledum and Twee
dledee.” These were his names for
the two secretaries. He steered a
true course foe the door and
marched down the hallway.
Moby Dickstcin soon reappeared,
his face, at least, sober. i
“The staff is packin' up. Ditto for
the servants. Even the camera crew
is buy in’ gas.’’ #
"What:” exclaimed Marne. “Why.
Kemper was to take some stills of
me at fear o’clock."
“No can do. He folded his lens
like the Arab, and silently stole
away,” intoned Moby.
“Cut the poetry and come down to
prose,” requested Gloria.
“Here's prose for you. A- Leon’s
snappiest style " He passed out a
memorandum to each.
Gloria's informed her that her sal- :
ary v/as suspended until the resump
tion of work. Meantime she could
remain at .Maiden .Effort llcadquar- 1
tera, icnt-lree.
“Why, the dirty So-and-so!" was
her embittered comment "Say, If
I ever get a chance to square with
him for this, short of murder, will
I take it! What’s your love-message,
kid?" ’
Marne, it appeared, had been put
on "temporary half-pay” pending
determination of what was to be
done. After devoting a mometfl of
concentrated thought to the docu
ment, Gloria gave her opinion.
"I got it. A. Leon's trying to
throw a scare into you.”
"How?”
“By pretending that he’s thinking
of shutting down. Hey, Moby?”
The factotum maintained the
gravity of the owl and the taciturni
ty of the clam.
"If that’s the idea, why doesn’t he
Are me?" Inquired Marne logically.
"Because you'd go, simp. He
doesn’t want to lose you. Just scare
you.”
“He can’t scare me by paying me
two-fifty a week." chuckled Marne.
"Not serlouily.”
Gloria, clinging to a last hope,
addressed Moby.
“What about our contracts?”
"Contracts, pfoole!” the factotum
favored ber with a sour grin. "Ever

"Ther th* party’s really over?”
"Looks like it.”
"But you’re not going, Moby!”
cried Mams. "The place would be
dead without you."
“That's what I’m goin’ to find out

"You and who else?” Moby airily
retorted.

manded the Cleat Man, sorely
shocked by this disrespect. “'What
arc you dnirg here? I thought I
discharged you, Mr. Dicksiein.”
'■Tl'.ink again.” suggested Moby,
entering.
"1 don't have to think again. You
were discharged at our Inst confer
ence, lor—for inefficiency.”
"That’s whot you think. Well,
you're wrong. You can’t discharge
me.”
A. Lcor. Snydacker. looking out
raged and uneasy, tried to puff up.
"Why can’t I discharge you? Your
contract—”
“Nuts to me contract! You c.m't
discharge me because X discharge
ir.ysetf. 1 resign “
A. Leor. Snydncker ur,puffed.
"Resign'’” he echoed in a hollow
voice. “You mean you're quitting?”
“That's it.”
This might be bluff. A. I.eon was
inclined to the theory that it was.
But he dared nut take a chance.
"Now. Moby; be reasonable,” he
began ingratiatingly.
“Don't you say 'reasonable* to
me. What's reasonable about bein’
blamed for everything that goes
wrong whether l got anything to do
with it or not?”
“Now, watt a minute,” pleaded
his boss. ‘‘You got me wrong."
Everybody was always getting A.
Leon Snydaeker wrong, to the grief
of his sensitive soul. “You know
I got your best interests at heart."
"As per invoice," remarked the
ex-factotum, waving the memoran
dum of his dismissal under Its au
thor’s nose.
“That means you're through on
this picture.” explained the employ
er with swift ingenuity.
“Well, X don't wanta be through
on tliis picture. I like this picture.
Through on this picture, through on
the whole show.” Alcohol was in
spiring the normally amenable Dick
stein spirit to a fine Irresponsibility.
“Sure. Sure. You stay right here
on the Job and look after—er—my
Interests.”
"As and on w'hat?”
“In charge and on your present
salary. I’ve cut the others but—”
“Nothin' doin’.” said the bold Mo
by, perceiving that he had his op
ponent on the run.
The Snydaeker Jaw dropped. “You
wouldn't let me down in—in my
time of—of trial and tribulation,
would you. Moby?”
The appeal left its object cold.
"We were talkin’ about a raise,
'way last March.”
"We'll talk about it again one of
these days.”
"We'll talk about it now,” said the
fourth cocktail, assuming its place
of command in the Dickstem organ
ism.
"What do you want?" asked the
employer apprehensively.
“A twenty-five per cent raise and
a contract drawn by my lawyer.”
"Make :t ten per cent. Moby, and
wc’U talk.”
say fifty.”
"The business won't stand it,”
wailed its proprietor. “Wc ain't
made a dollar yet.”
“Yeah? What about the pill-and
pellet trade? That isn't doin’ so bad,
I expect.”
A. Leon wilted. Moby, sticking
to his point with alcoholic tenacity,
finally won out. That being settled,
A. Leon proceeded to relieve his
feelings of their chief and sorest
preoccupation.
‘That Van Stratton girl, Moby.
I'm getting Just nowhere with her.”
“Sure, you're gettin’ just nowhere.
You chased tee off the lot and said
leave it to you; you know how to
handle ’em.”
