CHAPTER XLV
, Dan's voice was excited. "Look I"
ho cried. "It's my story printed un
der your by-line. Here In the 8 1"
He named a magazine of moderate
circulation. " 'Kempy's Crime' every
word exactly as I wrote It. An advance
copy came to the office and I hap
pened to pick It up. How did they
get It, Brenda?"
' Tho woman's face had gone white.
Her eyes lighted angrily.
' "What are you doing here?" Bhe
demanded. "I told you not to come."
"But I don't understand about
this! There miust be some explana
tion. Brenda. - They've no right to
print my story without paying me.
I wanted to see you before sending
a telegram " '
The blaze In the green eyes deep
ened. "You can't do that!" Brenda
exclaimed. "You may as well know
. it, I suppose.' I sent that story and
tho check did come. I was keeping
it for you as a surprise."
"You sent it! Brenda, you took
my story?" Incredulity, amazement
In the youth's ace.
Bho must nave felt the sting of
that glance. Brenda 's assurance
weakened. "I I : didn't mean it
that way," she hastened to explain.
"There must have been a mistake.
I sent the story but of course I
thou eh t they'd use your namo over
it. You don't think I'd tryi to take
credit for your story do you? You
Wouldn't accuse me of that!"
1 "Tho check' pan said levclly.
"That was made out to you, too, I
suppose?"
'"Why why yes, Dan. I'd give
it to you this minute but I don't
'have it here. I'll get it tomorrow '
"So you wanted to surprise me?"
Dan repeated. His lips twisted. "Well,
you did that, all right. Quite a sur
prise, Brenda!"
The woman drew away from- him.
. Bho put one hand to her cheek In
a gesture that had been rehearsed
frequently. Wistfulness, a pleading
note came into her voice.
"Surely you're not doubting me?"
she said softly. "It's all a mistake,
Dan. A dreadful mjstaket"
There was a pause. Then Dan Bald
slowly, "You had letterB, I suppose?
Can I see them?"
Impatience crossed Brenda's fore
head. She'd have to get rid of this
fool. He Was milking a nuisance of
himself. ;
"I had one letter. Of course," she
agreed Sweetly1. "But I destroyed
It long ago. Oh, Dan, If you don't
believe me I don't know what I'll
dot Nobody's ever accused me of
such a thing in my life I Why
would I take your story? I don't
see how you can even think or such
a thing. You you said you loved
me!"
; "Brenda, you've got to let me sec
that lettcrl"
"But I don't haVe It! I told you
it was destroyed."
' "Then I'll write tho editor and
find out for myself. I'm going to
know the truth about this thlngl", ..
SuddenJy Brenda Vail's. fury .over
rode all caution. Her face twisted
angrily. "If you do that you'll be
sorry!" she cried. "I'm giving you
warning. You can have your old
check if you want It. It was only
$100 anyhow. What If I did sell the
story? It was my name that made
them take it not because It was
such a good story. I wish you'd get
out of- here now. Get out and stay
out!"
Phillips did not stir. "I'll go."
he said slowly, "as soon as a few
more things have been cleared up."
"You're going now!"
"Oh, no I'm notl Not for several
minutes yet." There was some
thing about the level, unemotional
tone that was more alarming than
anger. "Perhaps," he went on,
"you've forgotten, Miss Vail, that
yesterday you agreed to go away with
me. To New York. There was even
a little discussion of marriage, If I'm
not mistaken, t seem' to recall that
you said you were for.et of me. Want-

ed to help me in my career, didn't
you? Career that's a laugh! That's
great!"
"When you're through with tills
idiocy !"
"Idiocy! That's what it is today.
Is it? Well why not? All this Is
very interesting. Interesting and In
structive. By the way, I thought you
had a headache this afternoon.
Couldn't see anyone. That's a beau
tiful costume you're wearing. New
isn't It? Cocktails on the tray. too.
Do you find them a good cure for
headache? Have to try the remedy
some time myself. One would al
most conclude that you're expecting
company. No wonder you'd like to
have your little friend, Daniel, run
along! You wouldn't by any chance
tell me whom you're expecting?'" ,
'"No, I wouldn't!" ' ". 1 ' "
'Then I think I'll stay and find
out. As your fiance I'm entitled "
Brenda Vail whirled. "I've stood
about enough of this!" she exclaimed
hotly. "You're going to leave here
but first I've a few things to say
myself. It seems to take a lot to get
an idea through your silly head so
I'll put It In, simple words, i I'm sick
and tired of you! Do you hear- that?
7.vo been tired ot you for weeks. The
only reason I promised to go to
New York was to make you stop
talking about it. And maybe you'd
like to know that silly play you wrote
has come back from every agent I
sent it to. When I told you a pro
ducer was considering It that was a
He. No producer would take drivel
like that! The agents said It was
hopeless. Well what do you think
of that now?"
Dan crossed the room to the small
table. "I think I'll have a cocktail,"
ho snld quietly. "I think I need it."

Ho filled a glass and downed it In
r. swallow. When he turned he was
smiling but It was not a pleasant
smile.
"That about makes it complete,
doesn't it?" Phillips asked. "You've
sold my story and spent the money.
The play's a flop. Now you want
me to get out. Yes, 1 guess that
just about makes It complete!" i
Brenda watched uncertainly. Had
she said too much? She must get
him away immediately, no matter ;
hew It was accomplished. She hesi
tated, seeking tho right approach.
Phillips poured a second cocktail
and drank It. "Want me to go,
don't you?" he said easily. "Pretty
anxious about that."
"Please go, Dan. There's nothing
more to--be- said -between--us. I--rm
' stfrry'f "I've "been unkind' "but
It's better to have the truth come
out. It's better for both of us. I'd
like to be alone now."
"Alone? What about the cock
tails here? And the guest you're ex
pecting? Oh, no, you're not going
to be alone! By the way, who Is he?
Of course I'm sure it's a man."
Sho made no reply. After an in
stant . Phillips went . on again.
"That's all right. You needn't tell
me. I don't know why I should be
interested anyhow. Whoever the
poor devil is I wish him luck! And
now that everything's clearly under
stood between us there's just one
thing more I want to say. Then
I'll clear out! Of all the low-down,
underhanded, double-crossing hu
mans I've met you take the prize!
I don't know tho word for you. If
a man tried the tricks you've pulled
they'd call him a skunk or a cur
but both animals tiro a hundred
times above you. You're the sort !"
Brenda's exclamation cut him

STORy y HAL COCHRAN
(READ THE STORY, THEN COLOR THE PICTURE)
TVfEE SCOUTY had been trained
" real well and ho could throw
a lasso swell. Tho Tinymites were
glad when ho said he would stop
their car. -
They watched lifs long rope fly
through air, trust ill;; 'twould
catrlt most anywhere. Ho missed
the stump he throw at, though,
because he threw too far.
"Oh, try again." .cried Dmiey.
"Ve are getting dizzy aa can be
from humping on this flat car We
must find Fnme way to stop.
"If you can lasso something
tight. I'm sure that we will- he all
right If not. we're going to ride
until v.e take a sudden flop."
NCE more the little rope flew
nut and then there came a
sudden shout . "Hurray," cried
AViudy "That was good! Thic
time you will succeed. '
And then they heard a sudden
thump. The rope had landed on
thestump. Said Coppy, "When
the "rope pulls straight, from this
ride we'll bo Treed."
They shortly found that he was
short. "You fool!" she shouted.'
"You can't stand In my home and 1
talk to me like that. Why, you
poor sap. a lot of nerve you've gotl
Think you can write going to be a
great author! Bah, I'm sick of
hearing those pipe dreams. Stand
thero and call me names, will you?
Well, let me tell you that anything
you've got Is your hard luck and It
was coming to you I I suppose
you'll tell me it's my fault you
throw away yoiir Job this morning.
All right I'm glad of It! Yes, and
I hope you have a hard time find
ing another one!"
Sho hadi forgotten oyorythlng, in
the 'frenzy of her anger, Phillips
watched her, scarcely able to believe
his eyes. This, was not the Brenda
Vail he knew. The woman was a
stranger. Her face was paper white.
Her thin Hps worked nervously.
"So vou think vou can hh?h-hnt
Brenda Vail!" she cried shrilly.1
"Suppose I tell you that tho man 1
coining here this afternoon is one I
of the biggest, motion picture men I
in Hollywood. M. P. Harris of '
United Actors that's who's coming
here. And what's more, he's going
to buy two of my stories to make
Into pictures. I'm going to Holly
wood to write scenarios for him.
What do you think of that? It's
going to mean money lots of
money fame, success! It's going to
mean everything In the world I
want. I guess that surprises you,
doesn't It? Run away to New York
with you , why you insignificant
little worm I ought to havo you
thrown out of this room!"
Dun Phillips bowed low. "Your

Wee Scouty was tho first to

thouted. ''Why. should hnvo

"I'm sorry wo were nil thrown
out. You are provoked at me, no
doubt, but anyway. I've, stopped
our ride and given you a thrill."
'I'll say you have," poot Uuncy
snapped. "When that car stopped
we all were trapped. 1 never
sailed through air so fast. Gee,
how I hit the ground!
"liut. we're not hurt, so let's
forget our most exciting tumble
yet. Right now, I .won dor where

parting words," he said smoothly.
"I'll remember them."
In the serving pantry the maid
stood closo to the door, lie toning
with -swiftly beating heart. Yvonne's
blue eyes were wido circles. Such
quarreling! Sho had never heard
anything like this at Miss Vail 'a
before. And Mfr, Phillips! Tho last
tlmow sho 'had seen those two to
gether Yvonno suddenly became erect.
Tho bell In the entrance was ring
ing, i It was her duty to answer
that bell. Yvonne touched tho or
gandie ruffles of her cap, glanced
into tho small mirror and saw that
her appearance was correct. ;..
Thfa'must be tho guest Miss Vail
had imado such preparations for.
Ho was certainly coming at an ill
chosen time. '
The maid entered tho living room.
Brenda and Dan stood thero facing
each other. Yvonno said hesitant
ly, "Tho bell, Miss Vail you want
me to answer It?"
Brenda drew herself up sharply.'
"Yes, Yvonne, of course. Go to tho
door at once."
