Al Stone, singing waiter at
Blackie Joe's Veto York night club,
marries Molly Winton, a ballad
singer, not knowing he is loved by
Grace Farrel, a loyal little cigarette
girl. After Al wins fame as a com-
poser of popular songs. Molly elopes
1 cith John Perry, taking her baby,
Junior, as she sails for France.
Al, broken by the loss of his son,
becomes a derelict, but is saved by
Grace Farrel. Molly obtains a
Paris divorce from Al, but Perry
deserts her. Junior is taken ill. In
New? York Al scores a success as a
revue singer and plans to marry
Grace. The couple arrive at the
theatre one night happy because of
the news of Molly’s divorce.
CHAPTER XXIX
They were both radiant as they
approached the doorkeeper.
"How are you, Shakespeare?”
called Al, clapping the old man
on the back. Then, quick, as a
wink, he snatched the chewed stub
from the doorkeeper’s mouth and
replaced it with a four bit perfecto.
The oldtlmer smiled delightedly
and saluted &s Al and Grace went
on into the theatre.
A group of chorus girls, hoofers
and singers, wjio went on early,
were already standing near the
wings, gossiping and laughing.
They turned to greet Al and Grace.
“Pretty soft for the little old
blackface comedian, strolling in
here at show time, and doesn’t
l“Yo* don't think rd be in the
revue if there teas any hard work
to do."
have to go on until nine,” said a
vivacious soubrette, smiling gaily.
“Soft is right,” agreed Al “You
don’t think I'd be in this revue if
there was any hard work to do?”
The soubrette laughed. She and
the others knew thaj Al was really
the hardest worker in the show.
He linked his arm familiarly in
that of the little singer, pretending
to glance apprehensively toward
Grace.
“Let’s step out tonight—you and
met” he remarked, sotto voce, to
the soubrette. “Supper—wine—mu-
sic—eh? What do you eay?”
Again he looked toward Grace,
hut she only stuck out her tongue
at him ever so slightly and refused
to become jealous.
‘Meanwhile, the soubrette had
drawn away in mock hauteur. “Sir,
I don’t know you. Besides I’-ve an
engagement after the show with
four great big oil-ancPmoney men
from the southwest.”
“That’s three\too many,” said Al
lightly and, slipping his arm
around Grace, he-strolled on to-
ward his dressing room.
He was in good humor tonight,
not only because he realized that
he and Grace were soon to be mar-
ried, but because he had at last
persuaded Grace to leave Blackie
Joe’s. She had hung onto that job
of hers at Blackie’s like grim
death, refusing to give it up until
recently.
“I’d feel lost without it, Al,” she
had said when he first broached
the subject of her leaving. “Be-
sides, I feel loyal to Blackie. He’s
looked after me and protected me.”
“Yes,” said Al, “but you’ve been
'there four years. That’s long
ehough. Blackie *will hate to lose
you, But he’ll be good about it. -I
want you to have some rest.”
. So Al had his way; just today
Grace had said good-by to Blackie’s
and given up. her tiny room in the
Waverly. Place lodging house to
more uptown to more palatial quar-
ters.
As they headed through the back-
stage corridors a. page hurried up
to AL
“A lady wants you on the ’phone,
Mr. Stone.”
I “A lady,” repeated Al. “What is
tjiiff strange power I have over wo-
men? Wu it a blonde or a bru-
nette volcel* .
The page boy grinned while Al
went off to answer the ’phone.
Grace strolled slowly after him,
wondering who was calling. She
saw him pick up the receiver and
heard him say casually.
“Yes, this is Mr. S(one speaking.
Who’s this?”
Then Grace saw a pained, almost
bitter expression pass across his
features. His face* went pale and
he clapped his hand over the trans-
mitter and turned to whisper:
“It’s Molly.”
A stab of pain shot through
Grace. Had her fear that Molly
would turn up to make trouble
come true? Al drew back from
the ’phone as if he would hang
up; then he reconsidered.
“What is it?’’ he asked coldly.
Grace saw him nod, then he hung
up the receiver and turned to her
again.
“Molly says to come to the Good
Samaritan Hospital as fast .as I
can.”
“Why?”
“She didn’t say. Simply that,
and hung up. I wonder if it’s a
trick of some kind?”
Grace’s eyes narrowed; her heart
was throbbing hard and fast But
she forced herpelf to say:
“You ought to go, Al."
“I suppose so. Yet every time
Molly has come into my life It has
meant misery.”
“Yes, but—” Grace paused. “Do
you think there’s anything the
matter with your boy?”
The suggestion electrified Al Into
action. “I’ll go! And you wait
here, Grace. I’ll be right back.”
He ran toward the stage door.
When Grace reached it he was al-
ready in his car and the motor was
whirring. She saw him shoot
down the alley and out toward the
lights of Broadway.
It was the theatre hour—the
streets were loaded with traffic. It
seemed to Al that he would never
be able to force his way through
the jam. But finally he did work
out of tbe theatrical section aQd
went speeding along a quieter
street, then out the Avenue.
How did Molly happen to be la
America so quickly after her di-
vorce; why had she* called him;
was Junior really ill? These ques-
tions and a swarm of other queries
raced across Al’s mind. He sat at
the wheel, with grim face and
fixed, tortured eyes. Sheer force of *
habit took him, through the traffic
unscathed.
He recalled “Junior as he had
seen him last on, that memorable
afternoon in the park, roly-poly
and the picture of health. It seem-
ed to himself impossible that any-
thing tragic could have happened
to his beloved child. Surely Grace
was wrong.
But Grace* was right. In a tiny
bed at the Good Samaritan lay
Junior, his eyes listless, his face
wasted and as white as the Sheets,
except for a tiny crimson spot on
each cheek. j He roused himself,
finally, and whispered to Molly,
who hovered over him:
"Is Daddy coming? I want my
Daddyr
Molly had been standing by Jun-
ior’s bedside, rigid with fear. Aa
he spoke she leaned over quickly
and touched his tiny, thin fingers.
“Yes, darling, Daddy will be here
soon. He’s on his way. Just a few
moments and you’ll see him.”
Junior turned away from her
with a sigh and his eyes closed, as
if the 6train of his question had
.taken his fast-ebbing strength. He
did not see tbe expression of agony
on his mother's face and her tears
that fell unchecked on the coverlet.
Now the doctor came forward
and tapped Molly on the arm. She
followed him from the little white
room into the hallway, clasping he»T
hands before' her as she gazed be-
seechingly up into his eyes. Her
face was aged by the terrible ex-
periences she had lived through
during the past few weeks.
“Is there any hope?”
“I'm afraid not,” said the doctor
gently. “The thing has made too
much progress—his lungs are al-
most entirely gone. He hasn't the
strength to fight the disease.”
Molly turned away, sobbing con-
vulsively. She didn’t want to hear
details if there was no hope. She
realized only too well that her own
neglect of Junior had started him
toward this tragic condition. After
Perry’s desertion of her in France
she had reclaimed her boy, but it
was too late. She had seen him
waste away before her eyes, in
spite of all the French doctora
could do. Finally, in a panic, whs
had raced to Cherbourg and taken
a tost liner to America. Then an-
other race to the hospital when
they arrived in New York the night
before. Not until the terribls fegr
seized her that Junior waa reauy
dying did she call Al.
She glanced out the hallway win-
dow to see a sport car swoop up
the street to the curb and stop. Al
jumped out and ran toward the1 hop*
pital entrance. Molly met him,

LINE DRAWN BETWEEN
.ADVERTISING AND NEWS
BY FINANCIAL EDITOR
The line which separates advertis-
ing from news is one that can be
sharply drawn. Owen A, Conner,
financial editor of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, told the American
Gas Association Convention at 'At-
lantic City. Sometimes it is too
sharply drawn, -said Mr, Conner, but
ih -general it ia the Htte which sep-
arates information of public interest
from information which is dissem-
inated for profit In ‘other words
copy which consists mainly of sales
appeal constitutes advertising and
should be paid for as advertising.
Copy which gives facts of value to
the reading public or which con-
tributes to general knowledge on any
subject may be classed as news.
“Perhaps the point can be clarified
by giving a tow specflic examples as
they affect the gas industry,” con-
tinued Mr. Conner, who is quoted by
the Texas Pubic Service Information
Bureau. “An election of officers of a
gas company, as if any other cor-
poration, comes usder the heading
of news as h matter of course. An-
nouncement of plants for a new gas
plant, for new office building, for
ertension of service to outlying dis-
tricts, for merger with or absorption
of another company,-tor changes in
capitalisation or changes in wage
schedules may be listed' as news
items which any newspaper will be
glad to publish. A reduction of rates
to consumers is news.
