Dwight Channing, artist, makes Ber a porcelain mack and Jim- my Cranc who loves her, does her press agent work. Arnold Kronberg, movie producer, lures Vivicnne, Ailecn's cister, to his office and makes advances to her. Suddenly a macked woman appears 2nd choots Kronberg but the weund is clight. Aileen reeeives a telegram signed “Ad- ragteia,” hinting its scnder may be the weman who thot Kron- berg and threatening to throw the blame on Aileen, who al- ways wears a mask. On the | cve of Ailecn’s debut as a | masked cinger, Kronberg finds Vivienne in Philadelphia, where Channing and Cranc sent her | after the cheoting. Fearfully she gees with him to hear what he has to say. Chapter. 22 A DOUBLE THREAT As Viv. entrance nne joined him in thej hall, there was nothing in Kronberg's courtesy. His punctilious attitude was {vo typically military. Of course, his suggestion of golng out had been more for his own advantage than any consideration he might have had for her. Obvi- ously, he did not desire whatever he had to say to her to be over- | heard. { “Perhaps you know of a night-| club,” he said. “This is my first| visit here.” From that she as- sumed he had made the trip sole- ly for the purpose of finding and questioning her. “If you do, Il call a taxi—" “No,” she declined decisively.

The other woman would not be in the pie- ture. If Kronberg should swear nc one: else was there, Vivienne sup posed. @ jury would refuse to be- lieve her story. { “I haven't decided—what to say,” he told her quietly. “I have my founded—but if there was another woman I mean to learn who she is.

I've no more idea who the woman was—" “Than I have?’ ne suggested, “Well, suppose I told you that it would not be difficult to have her arrested tonight?

Casting about for somewhere to go, Vivienne| thought of Rittenhouse Square,| where they would find a bench.! People would be passing—and there| would be policemen. But what if| she should appeal to one and| Kronberg should turn the tables by demanding her arrest? * The very fact of her running away would be evidence against her—not enough to convict her, of course, but sufficient to warrant an officer in detaining her. At the thought she shuddered. She could never live down the shame of it— if 'she should be dragged through the sordidness cf a public inquiry. “As you like,” assented Kronberg when she suggested the square. ‘They walked on rather briskly. It was really too cold to sit outside, but she would not go indoors where they could be private. ‘When they were seated along a winding path she waited for him to speak. “I suppose you're wondering how T knew where you were. That was really very simple. You've been under surveillance since I left the hospital. I think that you will ad- mit my agents have been very clever, The mistake you made was in having Crane come over to visit you.” “Jimmy Crane?” She looked up in surprise. “How did you know that Jimmy—?" “That was not very difficult. Of course, you were Channing's model —for his murals in my theatre. Ohanning and Crane are together almost constantly. Naturally, that suggested Crane as your go be- tween. Then Channing’s zeal to protect you—by altering the fea- tures of the figures in his canvas— told me he must have seén you when he pretended to find me the ght that he came to my office.” “well, suppose he did?” Vivienne lenged. “Can you blameé me for wanting to be mixed up in a “you would avoid any cofse- quence of your own foolishness,” he rémarked unpleasantly. “But in do- mgapyoumvebumupause against yourself.

If there’ was a woman—which I may or may not admit—you're either go- ing to help me have her brought to justice, or else I'm willing to compromise, and agree with you that you did it.” ilco - Philco - Philco - Philce - Philco - Philco Philco - Philco - Philco “You mean that you'll charge me with shooting you—if I don’t accuse—someone els “That sums up the situation,” he answered with a smile .“Of course, it might have been someone jealous of the affeetion—I appeared to be offering. Or, it might have been a person who fired in your defense. ‘That and the mask would narrow it down—considerably—,” he added. “You shan’t—because it isn't true. Tell me what you want!” “How should I know?” he shrug- ged. “I suppose you were listening in tonight when the lady who's wearing Channing’s mask made her debut on the air. If this little af- fair of mine should come up for consideration—it might be sup- posed that you and she—are friend- Vivienne's fingers worked con- vulsively as she tried to control herself. “Surely you don't suppose that I—you don't dare suggest that she—" “Wears a mask. outside the stu- dio—and that she might have fol- lowed us to the office in my the- ater? That would seem quite logi- |cal—if the lady is who I am sure |she is. Then her close association with the artist who—discovered me —is easily established.” “Suppose—I deny it—and it's proved that the woman you hint| {about was elsewhere at the time?” Then, unless Channing saw some- |one else, it's likely that suspicion would narrow. down to you."” Vivienne cowered upon the bench. She knew Kronberg was relentless, but would he go through with what he proposed if Aileen proved {innocent. At the time of the shoot- {ing Aileen had been alone in their own apartment. For that reason there was no one who could testi- iry to the fact. Any evidence against her would of eeurse be circum- stantial. Yet, if Kronberg pressed the charge it would ruin Aileen’s ca- reer. Her identity would be re- vealed, both of their names would be on every tongue—and even their | lin the judgment of a sensation- !loving public. = Ph 4 “Oh—what do you want? I'll do the six years.
