He swung into the office of James Bell' man who was to direct the air production, and there she was seated across a desk from Bellman "talking story." He glimpsed a pretty profile shaded with a half-moon of ):old-brown hair, and was about to excuse himself for the interruption when Bellman, who had scarcely observed his entrance, said something arresting.
"We need a young daredevil pilot," Bellman remarked. "One who isn't too particular about his life. If I could find a leading man to fill the bill my casting troubles would be over."
In the instant before speaking the thought flashed through Lane"s mind that he was fairly disgusted with life anyhow, that he didn't much care whether he was killed in a plane crash or died of ennui: that he had been a flyer in France and emerged safely from several risky bits of fighting, and, last, that he wanted to know Janet King a whole lot for some reason which wasn't quite clearly defined as yet.
"Mr. Bellman," he said. "Pardon my overhearing you. I want that part more than anything else in the world right now. Give me a chance to take my jinx up in the air and drop it overboard.
By God, sir, you've got to give me a break! Do you hear? You've got to! Or,
I'll !" And he shook his fist for
emphasis.
Bellman and the girl both looked at Lane for a moment.
Neither spoke. The girl smiled faintly and arched her brows in a questioning way. Then Bellman frowning thoughtfully introduced Lane to Janet. After which he remarked:
"I hadn't considered you for this role, Lane. I've always felt you lacked something— I can't just put my finger on it. But
I'll think things over and maybe . Well,
see me in the morning."
"Thank you," said Lane abruptly and walked out cursing all directors and the motion picture industry generally under his breath.
But he waited near the studio gate for Janet and when she appeared he planted himself directly in her path.
"Miss King," he said with a grimness that was the last spark of defiance in his system, "I want to play opposite you. I want that part and you can get it for me." And of a sudden he softened and added, "Please, Miss King. This is the breaking point if I fail. It's my last chance."
