In the results from the moving picture drama, however, was the possibility for the greatest help. Mrs. Tellingham risked rebuilding the dormitory on the same scale as the burned structure, because of Mr. Hammond's enthusiasm over Ruth's achievement. The days of early spring passed in swift procession now. It seemed that the longer the days grew, the faster they seemed to go.
Hammond's hand. Totantora and his daughter were in danger of being brought into court after all, and Mr. Hammond did not wish that to come about. The Indian girl stepped lightly into the canoe and picked up the extra paddle. Her father leaped in after her, pushed the light craft away from the rock, and seized his own paddle.
She certainly was a "type." There was a certain kind of prettiness about the girl, and aside from her incongruous garments she was not unattractive when her face was revealed. Mr. Hammond's interest increased. He approached the spot where the girl had been left by the jitney driver. "You came to see somebody?" he asked kindly. "Who is it you wish to see?"
Hammond's disappointment became too deep for further audible expression. Ruth suddenly awoke to the fact that one of her best scenes in the "Seaside Idyl" was likely to be spoiled. She talked with Mr. Hooley about it, and when the day's run was developed and run off in one of the shacks which was used for a try-out room, Ruth saw that the manager had not put the matter too strongly.

Dundee had not realized that he was frightened until he was in the hall again, facing one of the three doors in the plastered wall.
Hammond gambles?" "Don't I? Why, Hammond's a plunger from Plungerville, if you know what that means. From nine to three he is the strictest and best business man in the city. If you spoke to him then of the True Blue Athletic Club he wouldn't know what you were talking about. But after three o'clock he'll take any odds you like to offer, from matching pennies to backing an unknown horse." Mrs.
"If you will sit down, Miss Peel," he said in a low, firm voice, "I think I can give you good reasons for not rushing away in this headlong fashion." "Well, what are they?" said Prissie. Hammond's voice had a sufficiently compelling power to make her sit down once more on her window-ledge.
"Come, Miss Fielding, I am waiting for your answer," he said stiffly. "If you join the Criterion Films, your success is assured. You are famous from the start " Ruth was just reading a clause in Mr. Hammond's kind and friendly letter: "Don't let your head be turned by success, little girl. And I don't think it will be.
