But in a flash he grew con-| scious of an almost formal cold-| ness. Max Klein appeared and oibaw-' ed h&im aside. Instantly Jimmy pulled him by the coat-tail Lis- | ten, you nut!” he whispered. “If you say what you were going to youll give the whole thing away.” “Nut is right!” the producer ad- | mitted. “T'll fix it.

I know how much you mean. it, Max. I—I wish I still—could be!” In spite of her assured success, Aileen felt uneasy. Half dreading it tshe wondered if there would be! another telegram from the woman | who had signed herself—Adrasteia. “Will you get me a cab?” she asked Jimmy Crane. “You don't need to go with me.” “Is that permission, quest?” he asked in ment. “Don't be silly!" Aileen said, but she rather dreaded the ride with him in view of her decision. What shé meant to do must be gradual 8he could not begin tonight. How- ever, her dream had pointed out her course with regard to Jimmy. This was no time to weaken. Later Jimmy drove to Channing’s studio as he had arranged. Klein and some others might be there, and Jimmy felt that a night of it was precisely what he needed. There was something different about Aileen, and this sudden change in her attitude had cut him to the quick. It couldn't be “adulation, that had turned her head. Aileen was too real for that. He had not the faintest suspicion of what was in her mind, which perhaps was just as well. As he stepped into the studio a waye of Max Klein's pudgy hand warned him not to make a noise. Channing was seated at the tele- expression was intent catefully to who- speaking. Jimmy 1 or a re- disappoint- might “slumped down in an easy chair and cigarette. He wondered wha! Klein and what the plained for Jimmy's benefit. As soon as Kronberg had disap- peared on his way to the railroad terminal, Vivienne had hurried to! the nearest pay-station. She had | not wanted to frighten Aileen, and had purposely refrained from phon- ing to her hotel. She had also fear- | ed the switchboard of the broad- | cast studio. As a result she had | been calling Channing’s number for an hour. While she talked she ! kept her eye on the glass door of the booth, but no one in the drug- | slightest heed to her being there Kronberg might have been bluff- ing. “That's about all,” Channing con»“ cluded, relating what she had said. “No wonder the poor kid's uneasy. | It won't do to let her face it alene, but just what should we do?” | “You're geing to bring Viv back | with you?” Jimmy asked. If her coming meant complications it would be better if Aileen spent the holidays alone. { “That depends on what I find.”!| Channing, too, seemed in doubt. | “Apparently Kronberg is on his way so he can be here tomorrow, Max, can you check up on him without | his knowing it?” i “Sure,” said Klein. “I would get | that job. As one of these detec-| tives, I'm the headache in your! drink. Here for weeks I've been thinking how wise I am and now| I see I'm crazy. Just the same I'll| lock after Kronberg and Jimmy can | hang around Aileen. Maybe there's| no need of that, but it won't do any harm. You go on to Philadel- phia and leave the rest to us.” Vivienne returned to Mrs. Per- kins' shortly after one o'clock. The apartment was dark, but the land- lady’s door was ajar when Viv- ienne passed. No sound came from the woman'’s bed, which meant that she was listening. Vivienne went by bristling, and shut herself in at once. Several times on her way from the drug store from which she had | phoned to Channing she had paused to glance behind her. Unlike New York City, the streets were practi- cally deserted, and she was almost certain that ‘'she was not follow- ed. In spite of Kronberg's threat of surveillance, that fear was no doubt unfounded. Yet she was sure he would learn of her whereabouts wherever she might go. To keep on with this shadow over her—threatening Aileen as well—would be too impossible. That was why she had phoned to Chan- ning in her desperation. Vivienne wondered if he knew—or cared— what that had cost her pride. Wait- ing there in the phone booth— battling with herself—Vivienne had alternated by trying in vain to reach him and telling herself that she wouldn't. In the stuffy com- partment everything seemed to con- spire to make her look scatter- brained. Nor was that the worst of it! First, there had been that story in Tattle Tales. Channing hadn’t hesitated to say what he thought of that. Then the day in his studio, when he had plainly told her that the trouble was what people must naturally think of her. And he had not even wanted—what she might have given. As though that was not bad enough, her folly had led her to Kronberg. What she had done in a fit of pique had left him but one construction to place upon her conduct. In each of these misad- ventures she had deliberately cheapened herself. Now if Krons iberg proposed to talk, what little jreputation she had would be torn to shreds. Oh, she had been a fool. She re- proached herself with increasing ybm.emess. Once again she must |eat humble pie and depend on |Channing’s advice. There was just one consolation and in spite of her Channing to look so depression, Vivienne, welcomed that. jHowever greatly Dwight might re- Prof. Charles E.
