STILL STICKING 'b YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION To TELL NOTHING BUT THE A New Serial BYNOPSIS: Frank Grahame culs an appointment with the great Myberg, movie executive for whom he expects to work, because in- stinct tells him that the face he sees weering through one of the office lows bodes good to #o one, As he leaves the ofice Janice Kent, movie star. enters her car and i3 driven away. A second car follows abruplly ;. Frank orders a taai to trail them. He overtakes them as they crash, and is in tima to kiock out the driver of the second car just before he does the same for Miss Keat's chauffewr, Miss Keut thanks Grahame. Chapter Three VICTORY FOR JANICE [ IGHT from a street lamp glared into the interior. Their glances met. Some combustible psychic ma. terial of humor ignited and flared. Janice lifted her chin and laughed. Grahame's lips twitched. “Oh!" cried the girl. “How per- fectly imbecilic!” Her voice mim- icked her own. *'Thank you,’ she said. Then you growl, ‘It was noth ing, Miss.” Then | say, ‘But it was, sir, indeed—' Oh, why can’t peo- ple—" Grahame chuckled, “Did I growl?” Janice stifled a giggle. “Hoarsely,” she averred. Grahame felt pleasantly warmed Some watchful wariness seemed to relax within him. That curious and annoying embarrassment he was GODDESS by Sommen did. The accident {tself was curious. | It was so unnecessary. The tah car| attempted to pass us. It pressed us| into the curh. Yet, at that place, !he: street is wide. The man whom jou struck was driving. There were oth- ers—two, 1 think—in the back seat. They were getting out when your cab turned the corner. 1 didn’t see them again.” “Scared, I suppose, didn’t want to | be mixed up in it. Let the driver take the bumps.” Herchecked an impulse to tell her that he had followed the two cars fron. the studio. There was the chance that she might misunder- stand the prompting that had drawn him after the three men in the tan car. He tingled with the possibill- ties of his embarrassment were she to believe it had been the black car he followed. He concluded, “Yes, that was probably it.” “Yes-s.” The girl's voice was hesi- tant. Grahame said quickly, “You don’t think so? Did you recognize either of them?” Reflectively she lookéd through the window. “I don't know.” She shrugged. “But no. It couldn't be he.” She laughed a little. “He drives a much nicer automobile.” “Mayhe his friends don’t,” replied Grahame with a trace of grimness. “Who is he? When I talk to the po- lice tomorrow, I'll tell them that we Frank realized he must press forward slowly. conscious of with women subsided a little. He had lived too long away from civilization, he knew, too much in the company of rovers like him- self, ever perbaps to feel comfort- able in the presence of the opposite sex. But here a small miracle had hap- pened. [t was with a growing won- der that he realized that he felt at ease, almost, with this gorgeous girl who was one of the \-orid’s beauties. Her essential feminiuity was such that there lived uot a man who saw her screened face that did not feel that tug of respunse to her appeal. Grahame knew, in a vague way, that this cuality of hers was not a personal one. There were other ac- tresses certainly with equally cap. tivating faces, with similarly charm- ing figures, but what Janice Kent had—and L was a quality that wom- en approved of as well as their men —was,, as Hogarth, her favorite di- rector, expressed it, “A universal sweetheart appeal.” A pal of Grahame's among the stunt fiyers had quoted Myberg— who paid Janice Kent her salary— as saying, “That girl, y'understand, . has something that makes men love ‘lheir wives better.” RAHAME, watching Her profile as the street lights threv pat- terns of shadows across it, realized that he could quite :.gree with any eulogy of Janice Kent. He felt that although he had kmown her but a | few minutes, he of all men could solve her charm could he but ex- | press it in words. { ‘She made a fellow feel comfort- dble, that was it; a homely way to | say it, but accurate. He was con- | seious of a flush mounting to his cheeks. He appreciated that he was ot the first man who believed that | be was uniquely appreciative of a particular woman. Heé was level headed cnough to realize that he was, perhaps, not the first man to consider himself an authority on | Janice Xent's charm. Like a swimmer wading from the shallows into deeper water he real- fzed that he must press forward carefully. He drew in a deeyp breath. He said, “Miss Kent, did you: no- tice any other men about the tan car. To me it seemed=~ fYo!.' she answered quickly. “I think the accident may have been planned. 1 can add a little to that story, perhaps. They’ll question this man you think you saw. It should be easy for him to explain—" 0, NO!” Her voice held a shade of anxiety. “I'd rather you wouldn’t. Indeed, it was probably my imagination. | talked with him to day in Mr. Myberg’s office. He is'a gentleman from Central America— a Mr. Ortega—who is to make ar- rangements for the foreign scenes of my new picture.” “Still,” .mused Grahame, his thoughts still upon the almostre- hearsed aspect of the three men's actions outside the studio, “it might be just as well to ask him a few questions.” “No.” There was finality in Janice Kent's tone, an edge of au- thority. Grahame was mildly sur- prised. While her insistence puzzied him, nevertheless his wonder was chiefly that this apparently frail s‘lp of a girl could be 8o decisive. Somehow within the bounds of his knowledge and beliets of women, he assumed that it was the man—even in such casual little emergencies such as this one—who malde the de- cisions. He acknowledged that he was a little at a loss 26d smiled wry- 1y to himself. He recalled what Bill Langton had said to him four years ago, before Bill had made his epoch making non-stop Atlantic flight, be- fore Bill had become the national hero. He had told Grahame that their advance in the knowledge of women had stopped when they'd been eight- een upon that gray morning fn France when their motors had hurled them into their first foggy dog fight over Flanders. “From that point on, fella,” c£ill had said, “we got serious.” Seated beside Janice Kent, Gra- hame smiled a trace wistfully. Bill was a thousand fathoms deep in the Caribbean, or dcad fn some forgot- ten jungle. despite persistent news- paper rumors to the contrary. It needed a slight effort to bring him- self back to the present. He said to the girl mildly, “I'l say nothing ahout your Mr, Ortega.” (Gopyright, 1934, by Herbert lensen) Menday, Frank recalls Lang- ton’s story, | | Takes All Hars in Match- {in the matches at the Elks' club | from the Peppers, | apples.

J,, Jan. 13.—Ernast A. “Prof.” Blood, gray-haired mak- er of basketball champions, hasn't much use for some of the new rules governing the court game and is especially at odds with the so- called “ten second” provision. "It takes all the science out of the game,” sald the chubby little “professor,” ' famed for his state champlonship teants ‘at $§f.

It further prohibits that téam from returning to the back court in the same scoring drive. Aimed at “stalling” teams, Blood said the rule places a premium ofi size and hurts the game he has taught to many title-winning téams here and at Passiac. His is' a scientific game, revolving up- on a carefully planned attack that starts deep In the back court and works its way gradually ‘into scor- ing position.
