It's his money that's tied up with the show.” * I feel like a dirty crook!” Jan cried, desperately. “After all Mr. Gray has done for “You've done plenty for his show,” Shell said as he went to the telephone. “He'll get over it.” While he called several places, try- ing to get Levy, it was Patience who explained to the befuddled Johnny what all the excitement was about. When he finally understood, his face crumpled. He looked as though he were going to cry. “Gosh,” he blew his nose, noisily, “I come all the way from Kansas to cheer you girls up for Christmas and | look what I up and done—the first thing. Messed everything up and made Janie lose her job.” Jan smiled affectionately her tears. “Bless your heart, Johnny! It isn't your fault. I'd rather have you for Christmas than all the jobs in the world.” “You're just bein' polite.” Johnny wiggled, miserably. “But, gosh, why didn’'t you write and tell me?” “I didn’t dream you'd come to New York to surprise us. And when we started this crazy idea I thought I'd | be dressing like a boy only a few | days. But don't you worry. We're going to have a grand time showing you New York." “I kind of thought the Statue of Liberty.” ed up a little. Shell tri- through | 'd like to go see Johnny cheer- | every place he could think of t' ® Levy might be, to no | avail. Finally, he gave up. “It'll keep till morning,” he said, lightly, going over and tilting Pa- tience's worried face to kiss her. “And you stop looking as though the world had ended, Mrs. Pease.” Johnmy's jaw dropped. “Gosh! You ain't married!” Jan looked thunderstruck as the | truth dawned on her. She ran to| Patience and Shell and tried to kiss | them both at once. “Oh, I'm so happy!” She cried and | laughted at the same time, forgetting her troubles in her excitement. “Why | didn’t you tell me?” “We didn't know ourselves—until this evening after you left for the theater.” Patience held all the hap- piness in the world in her shining face. "It all happened very suddenly.” | “When are you going to be mar- ried?” Jan smiled, wisely, feeling she had engineered the whole thing *As soon as the license bureau opens the morning after Christmas,” Shell supplied the answer. “Before this fickle wench here changes her mind and marries for gold.” A worried look crossed Patience’s face when she thought of facing Col | Steele and telling him the truth. She hoped he would pnderstand and that he wouldn't think too harshly of her for giving up her job so soon. Shell had demanded, most mascu- | linely, that she give it up without any notice whatesoever. He would not have her poing back to the millionaire’s office after she became his fact, he had seemed delightfully jeal- ous. Johnny accepted Shell's invitation to share his apartment. At 4 o'clock he went to bed across the hall. Jan went into her own room and lay down. But there was no use trying to sleep. | It was wonderful to think that Pa- tience had found love and romance— some one who meant more to her | than Col. Steele and all his millions | could ever have meant. It was mar- velous to love like that. Patience, she was afraid, was made of & little finer stuff than herself. She faced Janell Keats, squarely, and her heart grew heavy and sore when she wenj over all her past mis- | takes. Why, oh, why had she been see- | ing Hileary. for one thing? She tried | to make herself believe she had loved | him. But she hadn't. She had wanted | Hilary Payne Totten, 3d. because he had the biggest car in Green Acres, | and the most money. He had been | away to college and he dressed better than any of the boys she had known. She wanted pretty clothes and bright lights, and the title of social leader of Green Acres. That was why she had let him come back. She knew then that she could never keep her date with him the next evening. And she wondered, fieet- ingly, what her Christmas present was to have been. He had told her it was being made, and it might take several days longer before it was finished. He had made no attempt, in so far 8s she could see, to get a job, as he had promised. And she wondered if | he had really been interviewing dif- ferent people about jobs, the even- | ings when he made excuses for not | taking her out. Strangely, it didn't matter. ‘Whatever her future might be, Hilary would not share it with her in any way. She had no desire to pay him back in the same coin he had paid her when he ran away and left her to face Green Acres. But she meant to drop a curt little note to his hotel and ask him never to bother her again. At 5 o'clock, Patience and She, went for an early morning strol along Broadway. “This is the goofiest thing I've ever done,” Patience said, snuggling close to his arm and laughing up into his glowing eyes.

At the next corner he stopped to buy a tabloid, and walked a little slower while he turned to Gene Mil- ler’s column. “What's the dirt?” sleepily. Shell blinked. “That guy must be a wizard!” He swore softly, and stood in the middle of the sidewalk while he read, un- believingly: “‘Jan Keats, dancer, who for sev- eral weeks has knocked Broadway for a loop, is a girl. It looks like a colossal publicity stunt, pulled by the pestiest press agent of them all, Shel- don (Shell) Pease. He's been passing she yawned sticks of Kansas. More tomorrow, we hope.’” Patience grabbed the paper and Another item farther down caught her eye. “Look!” Her hands trembled. “Here's something about Hilary.” She read swiftly: “‘Hilary Totten, Kansas playboy, parted with his last 20 G's before lawyers this week in an attempt to French music hall singer, who happened to come over on the same boat with him re- cently from Yurrup. He's frantically wiring poppa for more what it takes. This will leave the way clear for him to woosie the gal of his cherce, said to be the unknown sister of a famous male hoofer.’ | Shell was opening the door of | his apartment when the telephone rang. It was Levy. The producer was so excited that it took several minutes before Shell could make out i exactly what he wanted to convey. | But he wanted it distinctly under- | stood that Miss Jan Keats was not | fired. It was the most colossal pub- | licity stunt ever pulled by a girl in New York and he would hold her con- tract. Mr. Pease was getting a raise. It was Mr. Gray who was fired. Any | one dumb enough to fire a girl who | was the most colossal, stupendous, | gigantic actress ever to appear on Broadway, deserved to be fired. | Mr. Pease was to hire the whole floor of a hotel for a suite for Miss day, if necessary. He, Mr. Levy, in person, would be there right after | breakfast to take personal charge of | things. | (To Be Continued.) TWO ARE EXECUTED White and Colored Man Pay Pen- alty for Murder.

Sheriff Insists Sharecropper Reported Slain Still Is Alive. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 19.—An Eastern Arkansas sheriff hunted a “ghost” today while a Federal agent investigated reported cotton strike floggings in the officer’s county. Sheriff Howard Curlin of Crittenden County insisted the “ghost” is very much alive and is Frank Weems, 40- year-old Negro sharecropper reported fatally beaten when a cotton strike meeting was broken up. Sam Whitaker, special assistant to | the Attorney General, headed into | Memphis to question Miss Willie Sue Blagden, 29, and the Rev. Claude Williams on their reported flogging. The Memphis woman social worker and the 41-year-old Little Rock Pres- | byterian minister said they were | beaten by a band of six men near | Earle, Ark, Monday after they had gone there in en effort to learn if | Weems were dead. | Meantime a committee of attorneys | for the Southern Tenant Farmers' | Union met here to consider Mr. Wil- liams’ request that the union file complaints on the flogging.

She claimed =~ readily could identify her essailants. Sheriff Curlin explained he was anxious to locate Weems to uphold his | claim that the S. T. F. U. was guilty | of a propaganda hoax in reporting his | death. | Two other men have reported being | flogged near Earle Monday but neither has taken any steps to prosecute.
