Spike was so sorrowed for his misdeeds that he told Gypsy that he was not fit to touch her. not even the hem of her garment. Rue she responded with another kiss mid the assurance that she now knows Spike loves' her nnd sac loves Uplke. The parting at the doorstep on that midnight eve, as the ghost in night's highway looked down, shedding silvery Learns nf light upon them there, brought ngnln into their hearts nnd souls the voice of Good, Hilly fighting jealousy, desperately against the love of his brother nnd the supreme love he hod for Gypsy, returned moodily to his room to find the thief stealing his savings secretly lilddeu in the chimney chink. A tight ensued and in the struggle the thief was killed b) a bullet from llllly's gun. It was nil so sudden that it stopped the luartbeats of Hilly and turned him into n hysterical creature. Spike, filled with the only joy worth having in this .vorld and bursting with the thoughts of the gnat love that iiad engulfed him, opened wide the door oi the Druthers ipiurters, to be met uy Hilly, weeping hysterically nnd sob bing out, "I didn't ineun to do it," over the cold body of the thief. Spike, ever being n man of quick win nnd action, realized that he must pro tect Hilly. He must work fast. "Hilly, you get out." he commanded. Hilly went, while Snlku calmly awaited whoever may have heard the commotion, the shots or any part of the fracas. The neighbors came quickly. Lalorers entered to question Spike. The contrast of the clumsy drain-pipe man to the accustomed coolness nf n man like Spike meeting ns he did with Scotland Ynrd, enslly gave Spike the master hnnd in the tragic situntion. When nsked "Who did it?" h coolly remarked, ''I was the only one in this room. Tills is my affair." Noting the growing crowd of the tenements "and fearing just then to be taken, he nsked the drain -pipe man for n match and, in the act of taking It, knocked hlni down and leaped clear of aii in the room and crowding the hall, making his escape to his great friend, the gambler, Swn) Wan. Snlkc. knoulnir fulh flic ranld snrend rof such a deed and the keen interest Scotland inrcl was always taking in lits wajs nnd means of livelihood, felt t lint it would not bo long before thej would be seeking him ami closing nil avenues of escape for him. The net would be let down to catch I him und the vision of the gallows flashed through ills mind. He would surely swing for this. Hut, oh! how sweet it was to know that he had won Gypsy! She would stand by him when all else failed. AnJ maybe there was n way ilt. To the slant-oycd Oriental he cau tiously told what must be done. First a note was dispatched to Gypsy and the bearer of It w-us Sway Wan, This wns the first knowledge that Swa) Wan hnd nf Spike's Infatuation. And so he. too, plotted. He raw the sweet revenge for the long-since forgot, ten fine, Sway Wan was cunning but faithful In his mission. The note con tained Instructions to have her i;o and I bring him his pay from the dock, oltices. Then when she was by his side he would tell her all. He knew that she would tipllovn him unto death. As Gypsy left Spike In Sway Wan's rooms, the long Oriental hand and arm nf Hwnv Wan readied out and snatched her Into his silken chamber. His heart nnd soul filed w tli passion, he ialri nMvcrcil In her presence. He proposed man Inge to her. He showed her t It - wealth or a king in this mysteriously marvelous chnmber. He told her that ho was a prince of old Cliliui. that he came from n dynasty thousands of jeartt old. Hut all to no avail dvpsy was Infuriated and fought Ilk have to fence. The only fencing I ever did before was with barbed wire and a ltnir of pliers. "One of our fencing instructors got excited around noon time the other day and shouted 'Lunge.' The whole com pany stopped work nnd ran to the restaurant. A feller painted my picture the other daj. When he got through he complimented me on sitting so still but he had to wake me up first. "I utmost forgot another reason why 'An Unwilling Hero ought to be good, It's got a clever dog in it." a tigress, realizing the danger Spike was in with this delay. Sway Wan then turned his venom on her nnd threatened to inform the police on watch outside in the street. Hut Spike, restless in his wnitlns. decided to leave und seek her out, possibly at her home. She saw him cscnpo und u sigh nf relief came from' her heart. Then she hnd to escape Sway Wnn. On his table there rested n dagger. She grabbed and threatened htm so viciously that, Jn dodging her thrusts, he made way for her to escape out another door. Undaunted by tills episode, Gypsy hurried on to the Dock offices, only to find them closed. And there, abend ot her, were the Scotland yard "stool pigeons." The fnr-seelng and far-thinking mncliiner) of tills mighty hunter of men had anticipated just such a move and "covered" the place. Gypsy saw the situation nt a glance. For she was keen of mind too. With the ilectncss of n liird she returned to her room and There took her savings out of her secret little hiding place nnd turned with her hand on the door to flee to Spike. Hut again the watchful and weird hand of the uncanny Scotland Yard men greeted her. It wns the inspector himself. He hnd seen her fleeing through the nnrrow streets from the dock offices. He followed her to her rooms nnd nd monished her thnt she must wnru the police if Spike enme to see her.

Griffith saw Carol nnd offered her a Job. but she wanted to finish her school ing and declined it. The producer In vltiil her and her mother to visit his studio at any time and, with that, the Incident wus forgotten and Carol went back to senool. On her grnduntlon she remembered his offer und went to Ills studio. When she reminded him of his visit to Denis hawn, he nt once said that lie would innke good his promise, und gave her a parl--'Must a teeny little hit of a part," ns she expresses it in "The Romance of Happy Valley." "Were wiu nervous the first time you faced the "camera 7" "o iM'l ber. She shiwrul Iu mock terror. "Yes," she said, "nnd I still nm. Sometimes I feel that I'm terribly self conscious."

After he-had seen "llrokcn lllo.i so'ms," which wns based upon several of his stories, he said lie was "amazed that It was possible to give so truth ful n-materlallzatlon to an author s thoughts." Mr. Ilurke says that sce nario writing requires too much tech nical knowledge for the untrained man to attempt It, so he will be content to write stories for screen use nnd leave the, adaptation to others.
