Frank straightens out the tangle that fol- lowed a collision between Miss Kont's car and a nondescript tan motor ; he believes the collision way planned. and suspects it has a con- ncetion “with Ortega. a Mewican who plans to supervise a jungle pic- ture for Myberg. But Janice will not credit Frank’s hunch. Frank finds himself drawn toward Janice, Chapter Six i SUDDEN MYSTERY “T*HEN,” continued Grabame, “Miss Kent told me that such a ‘hought was ridiculous since Ortega >wned a nice automobile.” He smiled cuefully. “Her opinion was illogical, leminine and—" Winslow laughed. “Not at all, frank.

We can't be snooty with him or he'll take his idea elsewhere. Sure we could go ahead without him, but 2e's got a political pull down where he springs from, and above all we want to go ahead with this thing with as little expense and competi- tion as possible. These days, mis- takes are costly.” “I see what you mean,” said Gra- hame slowly. “But why would Or- tega, assuming it was he in the tan car last night, engineer an accident?

You know how they go for blondes. That driver I it was one of our local boys. A type that would do anything for money, and damn little ot it. I wouldn't know what Ortega looks like it I tound him in my soup, but—" Winslow’s snort of derision inter- rupted him. “What an imagination, frank! What an imagination! You've led such a melodramatic life ‘hese last few years that your mind works that wayfForget it. It wasn't Ortega, and it it was, it was just an 1nexpected accident, Sure, he sends aer flowers. He's stuck on her. Bound to be. She's the first movie actress he's met and she’s damnably pretty. I suspect you're a little that way yourself, but take some advice from uncie. Lay off.” Grahame was slightly startled. ‘Why—" he began, IS companion grinned with mock maliciousness but withal there was an expression of coacern in his eyes. “Perhaps I'm a great guy to talk too much, Frank .. .anyhow that's my reputation, but occasionally I speak with a grain of common sense. That girl is not for you, or for any other man for that matter, for at least some time to come. Too ambi- tious. Not that she's to be blamed for that, She’s fought her way to the top around here and she's cagey enough to know that a husband might dim that universal sweetheart appeal stuff that gets her over so big. So ' she's not having any, thank sou. “ghe has lots of money and made it herself, legitimately. It's common knowledge around the studios that she was poor once and she’s keeping what she's got—" “Spin—" Grahame’s face grew dully red. ‘The other, in the act of mixing himself another waved him to si- lence.” “It isn’t that you would be classified in her mind as a fortune hunter, Frank, although there’s lots that ¥ou’d. Yes, of course, I'm talk- ing too much, but we were good friends once and I'm tipping you off even it it’s at the price of our triend- ship.” The stunt pilot's mouth drew into stubborn lines. “Listen. It's sald there was an In- valid father once. He's gone now, but things were pretty tough then for her. She’s like the little princess in the story whose body was bruised by the pea through six thicknesses of mattress. Janice Kent can sense a pan of dishwater and the life it rep- regents six rooms off. It’s not that she’s cold and selfish, its—" RAHAME'S throat was a little dry as he sald, “Selfish! She's fine. Cfean, and young, and charm- | ing. She inspires loyalty.

And 2s for loyalty, they say she pays him ten thousand a year, although he probably gets half of that.” “He gets his ten thousand all right,” stated Grahame stiffly, “She told me so herself.” “Bunk,” saild Winslow, swallow- ing from his glass. Grahame eyed him coldly. 1 watched that monkey, Greene, witly her. “You wouldn't think she'd lie to me, do you?” “Wouldn’t I?" The stunt man laughed and Grahame wondered why ho had never before noticed how dis- agreeably Winslow could laugh. “Frank . .. you sound as if you're getting it rather bad. Don’t do it. That gal, candidly, is reputed to be the coldest piece of goods that ever dimpled at the Kleigs out here. She’d cold-deck her own grandmother. Selfish? Perhaps not in a general sense. But on the lot—remember I say ‘on the lot'—she'd swipe a starv+ ing extra's lunch ¥ she didn't get hers on time. She—" At the look on Grahame's face he paused and took a swallow of his drink. “Now don't get redheaded about it, buzzard. I told you, this is just a triendly tip.” The remaining contents of his glass gurgled down his throat. Ice tinkled through the quiet room as he set down the glass, He glanced oddly at Grahame, “Sorry, old man. Maybe I don't like blondes, I guess. That’s all. Got to be going. See you later.” As the paneled door shut behind him, Grahame caught sight of the re- flection of his own grim face in the varnished surface. Anger boiled suddenly within him. Winslow didn't like blondes, he guessed! The ass! What a lousy way to talk about a girl, Winslow's cyni¢ism had crystal lized some of his own emotional res sponses toward Janice Kent. Why, she was the sweetest, dearest, most beautiful— Fifty million fana couldn’t be wrong, could they?
