I ought to be smarter. I've heard the same line from a dozen others. But I fell for it. Then I happened to check up. And she'd been lying. If you hadn't come along she wouldn’t have got the job anyhow. That's true. I want you to believe it. Because—well—I'm a liar most of the time, but I'm not lying now.” “But—" “Walt, Let me finish.

Straight off the lyceum circuit. That's where they learn to_be Barrymores of the air.” “That’s not very kind.” “It’s true. Ask half the men in this studio where they had their real stage experience. They'll tell you about New York and Hollywood and all that. But if you pin them down you'll find they worked six weeks in Hoboken and four in Dobbs Ferry and had one season on the Redpath time.” “You're making fun of Dick.” “I'm not making fun of anybody.

ONA BURDETTE shot a ma- licious glance at Judy. Then would be sure to hear. She said something in a low voice to a man who stood near her. Some man from Station WAOA, Judy knew. And what the girl was saying was some- thing unpleasant and about Judy. And the man would repeat what was said. That was why the Burdette girl was saying it. Judy knew that Elton Day’s face had a strange, almost worried, look as he stood beside her. Then she was inside the elevator, standing beside him. “Seventeen,” he said quickly, as the door closed. This was too much. Not bewilder- ment at Elton Day, not fear of the cold menace in the girl's eyes, could stop Judy now. “Stop,” she said sharply, moving, for- ward. “I want to get out.” “Sorry, lady,” the operator answered, not looking. “No stops before seven- teenth. i “But I want to get out,” Judy said, feeling like & small child crying for candy. “Sorry,” the operator said. “Thanks,” said Elton Day.

She pushed the “down” button. Al-| most in the same second a red light | showed, a car moved down to the floor, the door opened. Judy stepped toward the car. “No,” said Elton, loudly. “We've changed our minds. Go on, Jim!” The door clanged shut. The car was gone. “Now,” he said quietly. “We're going to talk a little bit, you and I. And if you won't talk here, I'll follow you and talk wherever you stop. And if it takes 10 years to catch up—T'll still be fol- lowing you. And—oh, hello, Mrs. Mor- rissey. How'd the show go? That so? Good. I knew you could do it. And Mrs. McGovern! Fancy seeing you. . . .” People were all around Judy. None of the nice young men Judy had ever known would have embarrassed her by speaking out in front of other people. But this man would, and she knew it. And the rules she had learned back home meant nothing now. “My friend, Miss Allison,” he was saying. She managed, “How do you do?” She shook hands with Mrs. Morrissey, Whose hands were fat, and with Mrs. Mc- Govern, whose hands were thin and cold and limp. And then she realized that she was walking with them, talk- ing. Siying “Yes” when Mrs. Mor- rissey said it was a very cold day. Say- ing “No” when Mrs. McGovern asked if she went to the So-and-So Club. Saying “Yes” when Mrs. Morrisey in- formed her that radio was very inter- esting work. “Sorry,” said Elton Day to Mrs. Mor- rissey_and Mrs. MoGovern. “This is my office and Miss Allison and I have to go over a continuity for tomorrow. See you again. Here you are, Judy.” The door opened, the door closed be- hind her. Gallantly, Day spun a swivel chair. “You're not cragy,” Judy sald oon- ‘versationally. “Not really. You just want to be.” “And who doesn't? Is there anything in being sane? Why, if you stay sane, you'll go mad. So why not be mad in the first place? Why not, indeed?” “I told you a minute ago I don't like “Youwll not say that many times more.” “Why not?” “Because I knew the moment I saw you that your mother brought you up to tell the truth. And when you didn’t tell the truth, you got your mouth washed out with soap suds. And when you say you don't like me you're not :aulng the truth. So—wait a min- utel” From s desk he extracted a cake of soap. He began to rip off the wrapper, he took the top from a water carafe on his desk. “‘Open your moth!” he sald. | “I won't.” “Must I use force?” Judy regarded his thin hands.
