Miss Delorme | is one of the Goodenuf players, you! know. Sorry, that's all I know about it. Write to the film company in San Francisco. they'll give you her ad-| dress.” Churchill thanked him and went away only to return and view the “Miss Wildfire” film again. When the doors were cibsed for the night he went to his hotel and studied the teiephone dircetory. The Goodenuf Filin company could not be expected to be doing business { at midnight, therefore his long dis- | tance cuil to Sun Francisco was un- | answered. He went to bed stirred by | & thousand hopes and fears. “It must be that I'm going to meet . | her again somewhere or I wouldn't have chanced on that film tonight | when my thoughts are full of her,” he told himself time and again during the sleepless uight, | At 1°ne o'clock the next morning he | got the Gioodenuf Film company by tclephone and to his chagrin learned that Miss Delorme had left the com- | pony the week before and gone east. Hoe destination? Oh, New York, I crppose, they all go there,” sighed his inivrmant as the interview was closed. *Kast” was indefinite—New York was a clew that Churchill clung to s he finished his business in Los Aneeles and prepared to leave for, Chicago on his homeward trip. And everyv here he went he kept his oves wide open for some glimpse of nis lcve and whenever he was in the i vicinity of a moving picture show he dropped in koping to see Miss Wild- | fire once wore. Again and again he caw the play in different cities until he knew it by hcart. He grew in- tensely jealous of the biz cowboy hero of the play who made such romuntic tove to' the charming little western aitl and he would have slain the vil- | loin ging nded cvery night if he had been fiesh and blood.
