"No." _ a7 Mrs. Hemmingway has the virtue and the fault of literalness,. . _ ‘"I am a Greek boy." . a "Not any more," her husband stated firmly. "You can quit right here. I won‘t have my wife parading around in that kind of aâ€"whatever it is." "It‘s a Greek tunic." "It is not," he declared, looking at it more.closely. "It‘s my best silk suort shirt with the neck cut out and a little embroidery around the tails! Go and get on some clothes and I will take you home." "Oh, John! You don‘t mean it!" Mrs. Hemmingway‘ was genuinely alarmed now, and feared that he was in earnest. "This is all for Art." "I don‘t care whether it is for Art or f’or Tom Bilbeck. Go, cover ‘em up. By this time the rest of the comâ€" pany. had heard the discussion, which had been conducted in the same tones as those ordinarily used on the bleachâ€" ers at a baseball game. They gathered around. _ "What can we do?" wailed Maryâ€" ella disconsolately. "What will the old soldiers do ?2" . "Is Mr. Hemmingway here?" inâ€" quired a voice loudly from the rear of the auditorium. It was the boy from the boxâ€"office. Yes," replied John, "What is it ?" "You‘re wanted on the telephone." Hemmingway left us, a dejected group. _ "Don‘t worry," Mrs. Hemmingway said. "I‘ll manage him some way. I‘ll fix the costume up so that he will apâ€" prove alright." _ § She sighed with regret at the idea. Hemmingway returned. _/ "Get dressed, Tom," he said to me. "We‘ve got to go over to the office." "What happened ?" I asked. \ "There has been a jailâ€"delivery at the penitentiary, and twenty prisoners have escaped. It‘s a big story, and we‘ll have to have you handle it." A chorus of protests went up at the idea of my leaving the rehearsal. I was just peeved enough so that it did not make any difference to me. They had made fun of me, and now that I had a good excuse for withdrawing they could see how they could _ get along without me. _ "Why, John!" Mrs. Hemmingway interposed. "I wasn‘t expecting you for quite a while yet."â€" _ _ [ "What have you got on?" he deâ€" manded hoarsely. "Is it anything at all, or have I merely got a speck my eye ?" sys ce t "Please, Mr. Hemmingway,".pleaded Maryella. "You couldn‘t make Helen withdraw now. It will break up the show." "If she doesn‘t it will break up the Hemmingway family," he declared firmly:; _ "I can see that," he retorted, not taking his eyes from my face, "Now all I want to know is who you are," he shouted at me. "Take off _ that mask before I yank it off." : \ _ â€" John Hemmingway‘s jaw fell.. He and I are close‘ friends. We went through all our . schooling â€" together, and belonged to the same secret societies. I suppose we have sworn eternal friendship and brotherly love on a dozen occasions. ‘ It was partly owing to him I held down my star job on the newspaper. . _ ____ j "Oh!" he exclaimed, and turned to his wite. "Butâ€"*‘ iShe had stepped out in the aisle and his eye fell on her costume for the first time. He was speechlessâ€"with admiration, 1 thought. . netegt my eye?" 1fi $ "This is my costume for the play," she explained carefully. es Now Go on With the Story Mr. Hemmingway does not _belong to the club. He is managing editor of the Daily Mail, and has to work nights too often. But he usually calls for his wife to take her home from _ reâ€" hearsals. He made a motion toward me with his open hand. ~â€"His wife stopped him. "Don‘t, Tohn. â€" It‘s »Tom Bilbeck. That‘s his real face." The idea of taking the long, .cold trip out to the penitentiary did not apâ€" peal to me in itself, but I was glad to be able to leave the theatre. Hemmingway had gone after telling his wife that he would send a taxi to take her home. The amateur players are to give Pygmalion and Galatea at the Old Soldiers‘| Home. In their â€"version Bilbeck is to act as the statue, and Maryella despairs when she discovers his bow legs. Mrs. Hemmingway latâ€" er flatters Bilbeck and talks to him about the play. Bilbeck pats her hand, only to find a rough and grasping him by the shoulder and lifting him out of his seat. THIRD INSTALLMENT What Happened So Far Tom Bilbeck is the narrator. He is a fat newspaper writer who drives a tumble down car he calls Grandmother Page. He is in love with Maryella, his rival being Jim Cooper. The three are members of an amateur dramatic group.. Plans for a play at the Old Soldier‘s Home are under way. Grandâ€" mother Page has engine trouble while Maryella is out driving with Bilbeck, and Cooper, passing in a big roadster, taunts him. After Maryella has left Bilbeck is able to start his car again. : We stood in the aisle and glared at one another. The coach came out in front of the wfalt a wase! sles kqj%4%="%=.; curtain to announce that the stage was all set for the third act. "Everybody on stage," he requested. T did not respond. "Surely you are not going to go away during a dress rehearsal ?" said Jim Cooper. "I really have to go," I replied, and added bitterly: "It doesn‘t make any particular difference. I believe that you will find the dummy more pleasâ€" ing to some of the members. of the cast, and if you use it I‘m sure it will save me a lot of trouble." "Maryella"â€"Jim turned to _ herâ€" "ean‘t you say something to â€" make Tom remain? He‘ll do it for you." _ Maryella looked at me with a coldly « ~_ dn h a 4 3 . t t 5m n L s o.

I could get another jobs :of course but my berth on the: Daily. Mail and its allied syndicate was very pleasant and lucrative. facs They had to hold‘ the presses for me on the city edition until I returnâ€" ed from the "pert"" so that it was after two‘ when T finally left the ofâ€" fice to get supper At an‘ allâ€"night lunchâ€"counter. I turned in about three, but didn‘t get to ‘sleéép for an hour or so after that." _ ‘_ I muttered something breath. & I "Because Maryella wants to talk to you, for one thing. She asked me to tell you to come over to her house as soon as possible. You see, it is all for the best." "Go to the detice," I advised crossly. "I should be glad to," he was anâ€" swering in an unruffled tone as I hung up the receiver. _ f The prison authorities had been having considerable trouble because of a number of men among the prisâ€" oners who were agitating for an eightâ€"hour day, and some new foxâ€" trot records for the phonograph, or something like that. The warden had not granted, their demands, so . this jailâ€"delivery practically amounted to a strike, The men who escaped left word that they would not come back until their demands were acceded to. Of course it was really a lot more serious than that, but I wrote it up in that fashion for the Daily Mail. Not that I felt particularly facetiouns â€"far from it; bbt that is my, newsâ€" paper style. The: ;@ulilg'g‘:ufand ~ my emâ€" ployers expect it of ime, e ts It seemed as if T"had barely dozed off when my telephone rang. I got up and answered it. & "Hello," I growled. "Hello, Tom, This is â€"Jim Cooper talking." 4. & _"Glad?". I repceated, incredulonsly. "What have I got to be glad about ?" Still, it was nice of her to make the first move toward reconciliation. In the past that had always been my part, Maybe she knew she was in the wrong and wanted to â€"apologize. ____ _. I did not answetr. "If I had I might have said something ‘that I should have regretted excéedingly later. . "Don‘t swear," he observed pleasâ€" antly. "You ought to be glad I woke you up."‘ . _ s asuâ€"lolal is I went back to my nice warm bed, but sleep was effectually routed for the day. My curiosity was aroused. . What did Maryella want? Probabâ€" ly something wherein I would be the nickelâ€"plated goat. I was suspicious. flashing eye "I dowbt," she ‘hesitated, "whether anything I could sayâ€"would have any effect. I imagine that his interest in the rehearsal will cease with Mrs. Hemmingway‘s departure." & Some one was coming down the aisle after me. I quickened my pace, deâ€" termined: to listen to no | pleadings. Maryella had chosen to bring personâ€" alities into it, and T would not stand for it, that was all? 0 6 I reached the main‘entrance of the theatre and stepped through a door inâ€" to the brilliantly lit lobby. A man who was buying tickets"at the box office looked up and with a yell ran out into the street, leaving his change behind on the shelf. 1aas Watch For The Big Surprise! The penitentiary ‘is one of the things that places ‘our city on the map. Therefore any happening of imâ€" portance out there dominates the locâ€" al news and figures largely also in the Associated Press dispatches. There was only one way to find out, I got up and dressed. â€" After breakfast I walked to Maryâ€" I could scarce bélieve my ears. How could she be so unreasonable? I turned on my heel and made down the aisle for the front entrance of ‘the theatre. uts "Tom," some one shouted after me. T continued my way unheeding. "Ohb, Tom!" “W'ai‘t\a‘ minute!" imâ€" plored Jim. n eC Some one opened the door I had just closed ‘behind me. I did not look around. ‘ STom!" It was Jim Cooper‘s voice. He thrust something into my hands and then hastened back into . the theater.

"â€"for everybody who needs them," Maryella added hastily, interpreting the hostility in my tone. "For you, for Mr. Cooper and for Mrs. Hemâ€" mingway." The two young women were on the floor cutting something out of white cloth. The atmosphere was too happy and industrious for me to preserve my grouch in,. I almost regret to say that I thawed at ‘once. "We‘re making pads," Maryella exâ€" plained after . I was comfortably setâ€" tled. "For Mrs. Hemmingway?" I reâ€" peated incredulously.
