Having nothing else on hand, Mr. Reeveahad decided to go to bed in his sky suite at the Majestic. He was about to step In the elevator when he noticed that the operator had disappeared.

Believing the boy would return at any moment, Billy entered the car. He waited patiently about Ave minutes and there was no sign of the operator. He decided to run the car himself and pulled a lever with a swift Jerk.

On the trip eastward across the continent Miss Farrars train made forty-nine stops between Los Angeles and Chicago. Now look you: At each and every stop a telegram was thrust into the hands of the negro porter of Miss Farrar's private car. It must have taken Lou Tellegen and a willing telegraph operator halg a day to figure out the time of stops, so, that each of the forty-nine telegrams would catch her-traln."

At first she wouldn't even meet Tellegen, although both were engaged in film work at the Lasky studio. But the Introduction was inevitable. This follows: "I am more than pleased at this opportunity," he said, In his deep, calm voice. "I have looked forward since I came to America to the chance of meeting the protegee and friend of my dear associate, Sarah Bernhardt." "Why, of course!" cried Miss Farrar.

"How stupid for me! I forgot that you were her leading man in Paris. You must lunch with me In my dressing room, and I will show you the most wonderful new picture she has Just sent me, taken when she left the hospital after her recent operation. Oh, you must tell me all about her!" And to the amazement of her friend to whom she had declared she would not meet Tellegen, Miss Farrar and Tellegen went to her elaborate-dressing rooms, where luncheon was served, and there, for two hours talked together of the divine Sarah. Out of this first meeting sprang many others. Tellegen became a daily visitor at the Farrar home, "I am going to marry you," he said calmly one evening in the presence of several of the Farrar house party.

All laughed and treated it as a Joke-all but Tellegen. --He was quietly serious. And he repeated: "I am going to marry you." "I marry cried Miss Farrar laugh-tng. "No. I shall never marry until I am forty, and perhaps not then.

If I ever do, he will be an American, You are a Frenchman." "Pardon me, I was bom In Holland," Tellegen corrected. "But that makes no difference. I have made up my mind to marry you." "Then you will have td be a cave man nnd hit me over the head and rarry me off by the hair," laughed Miss Farrar. The company joined In the laughter and the Incident was passed over.
