Advertising Section In the Heart of a Fool Continued from page 40 "If that boy is hurt — by the God above I'll kill your child, Van Dorn !" she screamed with the madness of a woman who had lost her reason. • As though Fate had turned fiend and challenged the frenzied woman to make good her threat on the life of the little girl in her arms, a bullet fired from the outskirts of the mob crumpled the little boy into an inert mass on the pavement. But the woman dropped the girl and swooned, falling to the ground with one arm, as though for protection, over the dead body of the boy who lay there. And the riot was over. Men can't carry on their own quarrels in the face of women's agony. A solemn cortege of flannelshirted men, men from both sides of the fight, who had been ready to kill each other only a few moments before, now walked with Grant Adams, in silence and with bared heads, as he bore the limp body of the boy to the Adams home. The woman was helped to the "palace of love" in which she lived with Van Dorn, and when she revived he faced her alone, accusingly. "Why did that boy mean so much to you?" Van Dorn demanded, suspicion mingling with rage in his voice. "That boy" — the woman spoke calmly, slowly — "why, Van Dorn, that boy was my son — mine and Grant Adams'." Van Dorn was too slow for her. The pistol appeared in her hand as if by magic, and there was a flash, then another and another in quick succession. And Van Dorn's power for further harm was forever ended — by one of his own kind. A different fate — as bad as his — was to be hers. A strange light came into her eyes, and she began crooning baby songs to the child who had been shot, her own tiny son, and in imagination rocking him in her arms ; there would be no courtroom scandal ; the woman had gone insane. EPILOGUE. And so it was that life threads which had been snarled by the chance arrival of an interloper were finally though tragically untangled. And so it was that, on a later spring day when time had to some extent dulled the memory of bitter tragedies, Laura Nesbit and Grant Adams strolled once more hand in hand, as fate had first intended, toward life's setting sun.

And, as a result, they were both made famous. The starring contract which he signed not long ago carries a salary that passes over two thousand dollars a week, with careful clauses as to "wardrobe supplied," "expenses while on location," and so many pictures a year to be made in New York.

Nothing could lure him into the stellar set of the nouveau riche. He is still without an automobile, a valet, and a palatial manse. He still remembers names and faces as distinctly as he did when looking for a job. And when you ask the question of those who know him, "What do you think of Tommy Meighan?" you get the emphatic response, even from such unsentimental he-regulars as Tony Moreno, "I love him!"
