Miers was buried alone a few 'miles back of the spot where this tavern stood. The well in the corner of the field south of the Corner School House now nearly marks the spot where the Miers hotel stood. The level ground at that point made it a favorite spot for the Dallas military company to meet and drill on training days. The last training there was on the day when the first of what proved in a few days to be Miers’ fatal illness began to appear. Miers was up and about that day, but was feeling | very ill. A week later he was dead. On that day, as on previous occasions, there was a great deal of drinking and . fighting after the training was over.

She drew. her victim close to her, pressed tight against him, and poured upward into his eyes all the venom of an amorous basilisk. “I'll pay the Price! I know what it costs to succeed, and I'm willisg to pay. I'll do anything you say, be any- thing to you. You cant refuse me!” She could hardly believe her own ears hearing her own voice, though with pride in the acting she was doing lifted her from the disgust for the role. He looked at her without surprise, without horror, without even amuse- ment, but—also without a hint of :#ir- render. His only mood was one of jaded pity. : / “Your poor child, who's been filling your head with that stuff? Are you really trying to vamp me?” ‘ The cross word angered her. “I'm trying to force my way to my career and I don’t care what it costs.” Tirrey’s sarcastic smile faded. “'Sit down a minute and listen to me.

Now back to the door. , Walk through it once.” Claymore was as much embarrassed as Mem, for his invention was not in its best working order so early in the morning. He felt as silly as a man badgered by a peevish child to tell a story. But his trite plot stirred Mem amazingly. He could not know how close his random shots had come to her and flung her back from the forward-l-ooking artist to the lorn fugitive who had stumbled into Cali- fornia laden with disgrace. She was all atremble and her eyes darted, her fingers twitched. Clay- more marveled at her instantaneous response to his suggestion. There were born artists who shivered on the least breath of inspiration and suggestion. His first impression of Mem was that he had found a genius, and he foughte against the obstacles he encountered later with the zest of a man digging toward known gold. In a kind of stupor Mem obeyed his commands like the trained confederate of a hypnotist. She went to the door, came in reluctant, shamefast, doomed. She advanced slowly till she reached the edge of the rug he had indicated,, then halted, and with a fierce effort hoisted her head in defiance and braved the lightning of the judge. She heard Claymore call to her: “That's fine! Now we'll take it!” She started back, but was checked by the camera mans “Wait, please!” He ran forward and shouted directions on all sides for lights. “Hit those spots Throw,the ash can on her.

This | was the man whose name was familiar | about the world. Every film from his factory was labeled: “Bermond pre- sents—"’; “Copyrighte by the Bermond Compan;” “This is a Bermond pic- ture.” The slogan of the company was, “This is a Bermond year.” ‘When Mr. Bermond heard Mem cry- ing, his heart hurt him. He did not like scandal, disorder, confusion, or grief on his lot. He went to Mem and tried to console her. He took her hands down from her contorted face and forced her to look at him. Seen through the cascades of her tears she was strikingly attractive, appealing. “Sarah Bernhardt failed in her first play you know, and you may be a second Sarah some day,” he said. “Just you wait!” Mem’s eyes were filling with rain- bows. A bystander drew Bermond aside. It was Claymore, a dramatist who had had a few successes before he established himself in the moving pictures as .a director. “That girl has the tear,” he said to Bermond. “That woman you've given me for my next picture is awful. [et tne take this kid and give her a real test. She might have just what we want.” “Sure! Fine!
