arly evening when she wakened and went down stairs. Mrs. Murphy emerged from the kitchen. "A gentleman called a time ago and left this letter for you. I think he was from the film company." Jane looked at the letter. The return address was that of the leading hotel in the city. She opened the envelope and drew out a crisp check. It was made payable to Jane Cameron in the amount of $250 and was signed by Roscoe James for the Mammoth Film Company. Jane's eyes blurred. Why that check would more than equal all of the money she had spent learning how to fly, but she decided that she wouldn't want to do film stunts for a living. There was a note with the check and Jane read it eagerly. "Dear Miss Cameron: We are showing early shots of the film tonight at the hotel at eight. The scenes taken this morning will be included and we would like to have you present. The check is in appreciation of your fine work. Cordially, Roscoe James." Jane's heart leaped.

"Well, you're going to eat," said Mrs. Murphy firmly, who believed that food was necessary at regular intervals. "There's several sandwiches and a glass of milk in the ice box. You eat that while I'm fixing my hair." When they reached the hotel, Charlie Fischer and Miss Comstock were waiting in the lobby. "This is going to be a real treat," smiled Miss Comstock. "I never thought I'd be in a movie, even as an extra in a crowd scene." "And I never dreamed that I would pilot a plane with cameras recording the scene," admitted Jane. "You might add that you never dreamed you would have to take to a chute to get down," put in Charlie. "You're right and once is enough," said Jane firmly. The pictures w
