His, arms enfolded her once more, but Betty wrenched herself free and faced him with indignant eyes. "How dare you treat me that way — as if I were your property! I've told you my secret — that I want to be a great film artist, — and all you can say is that you want me all to yourself. You don't understand. You never could understand me! We would be crazy to marry. Good night!" The following week Betty was in New York without having said goodbye to Dick Chandler. She had taken her own money, a hundred dollars, and had told her parents that she was going to visit her old school friend, Adele, in Harlem! Then she had written back that she had accepted a posi' tion in the New York Public Library and was making enough to live on. By the end of three months she had accumulated a huge fund of experience, a cynical disbelief in the virtue of men, especially the sleek and overdressed ones; a few jobs that had lasted from one to three days each, and enough cash to pay her room rent in the grubby rooming house, — sometimes—and to eat two meals a day — when she was lucky. She had only had to write home for money once. But Betty had seen herself walking about on the screen. Though merely a guest at a house party or a bystander in an east .side tenement scene, with nothing to do but fill in the background, yet she had made her start in the magical world of the silver screen. She knew that she photographed well, that she could go through her insignificant role without looking at the camera or being bawled out by the director. Her work had been praised. "Big Ed" Brewster had given her this bit on the strength of it. These pleasing reflections occupied Betty from the time she left the huge studio building to the moment when she stood on the doorstep before her lodging house on a shabby west side street. As she opened the door, the smell of stale cooking assailed her nostrils. She plunged up the dark stairs to her room on the top floor. As Betty passed the open door of Mrs. Billings' bedroom, she walked stealthily, lest that angry-eyed termagant should say something disagreeable about the rent. The heavy feet of Mrs. Billings could be heard clumping up the stairs. This was no time for an argument over the rent. Betty stepped out of her room, ran up the rickety steps to the flat roof and took refuge behind a chimney where she could gaze over the skyline of the great city. Resolutely the girl set about producing the big realistic tears that Ed Brewster expected. She was beginning to be successful when she heard a strange footstep. Betty sat perfectly still behind the shelter of the chimney determined not to be interrupted in a rehearsal. She tried to think of the things that would make a person cry: earthquakes, ship wrecks, trains running off a bridge. Then her mind flew to the great . fact that "Big Ed" Brewster had praised her work and promised her a job. Her heart swelled with happiness and the tears ran down her cheeks.. "You poor little girl! Crying your heart out all alone!" A deep and tender voice husky with emotion made her jump, and Betty looked up with wet and terrified eyes straight into the face of Dick Chandler. "Dick!" she gasped. "What are you doing here?"
