LEAP YEAR BRIDE By LA Hit A LOU It It OO KM AN (Copyright 1032) CHAPTER XLVI Brendn'a expression altered In -atautly. - There wqs Just time for a quick glance into the mirror to rc aesuro herself. Angry color flamed In her cheeks but that was all right. Rather becoming. "I'll get out as jkxhi as I can," Phillips promised beneath his breath. They heard the hall door open and close, tho murmur of voices and then footsteps. Brenda, radiant and smiling now, hurried to greet the newcomer. ."Mr. Harrisl" she said with sac cahrlno Inflection. "This is such a pleasure " "And for me, too, MJss Vail." The man on the threshold was young looking. Tall, well set up and rather handsome. His hair and eyes were dark. He wore a dark r,lt, carried a brief case. As he spoke he stepped forward, survey ing the room with a swift glance and his eyes turned to Dan. Brenda intervened. "Mr. Harris," she said quickly, "this is Mr. Phil ips. He's why, why, DAN I" For suddenly .Dan Phillips had thrown his head back and burst into a shout of laughter. "MJr. Har ris I" ho exclaimed. "So this Is your Mi-. Harris, Is it! Oh, this Is too much !" The laughing continued, became noisier., Brenda Vail sold hotly, "I don't know "what you're laughing at, I don't understand 1" All at once she saw that some rata uju LINOLEUM LAYS BEST IN WARM WEATHER DO NOT DELAY Many of the Best Patterns, in the ARMSTRONG & SEALEX lines now on display. Expert Laying a Specialty BohnenKamp's thing had happened to 1fitr. Harris. The brisk, business-like manner was gone. Harris was yes, he looked sheepish. He was actually grinning, looking at Dan as though the two knew each other. It was incredible. "What's what- mis ,aU about?" the woman asked helplessly. "I'd like to know the Joke, too," she looked at Harris. "Your-you are Mr. Harris, aren't you? That's your name, isn't it? Do you know Mr. Phillips?" Tho stranger's face sobered. "Yes, I know htm," he answered. "I didn't expect to see him here, though. It's rather a surprise. Changes things somewhat. I well, with Dan here I suppose I may as well be frank. I'm the Mr. HarriB you were expect ing, Miss' Vail, and then again, I'm not. My name Is Harris that is, my middle name. You . had a note from me saying I'd call this afternoon to talk to you about picture rights on your stories. The fact Is well, I'm not a representative of United Actors as I told you" "You're, not with United Actors? Then you're not the man who, wrote mel" "Oh, yes I am. I wrote the let-, ters and sent themj to. a friend of mine to remall from New York." "But, Mr. Harris I" Brenda Vall's face had lost its animation. She was staring at the man uncomprehend ingly, almost stupidly, "If you're not the Mr. Harris, who arc you?" she demanded. , ' "My name Is Pearson, Miss Vail. Max Harris Pearson. . I'm on Tho News." "You on The News! You mean hero in Wellington? You mean you havsiVt anything to do1 with motion pictures? Then United Actors they dor.'t want my stories? ? Suddenly sho turned on Pearson with blowing anger. "What did you do it for?" she PORTLAND.

"How dare you. Oh, but there must be a law against this sort of thing. I'll see that you pay for HI Tried to trap me, didn't youl Thought you'd get money " . Brenda's afternoon tiad oeen too much for her. She snatched up the nearest thing at hand, a pottery vuiro, and hurled it across the room. The vase hit the wall, shattered Into pieces. Brenda's anger was not ap peased. She caught up a cushion from the davenport, ripping the silk so that the cotton lining fell to the floor. "What did you do it for?" she screamed. The two men exchanged glances, A hysterical woman is not a pleas ant sight. Phillips said, "There's no use losing control of yourself, Brenda. People will hear you-" "What if they dol Do you under stand what he's .telling me? It nieano I can't go to Hollywood I Tho money I'd counted on $10,000 at least! it means there won't be any money! What am I to do now? I've never been so humiliated, So so mistreated. I'll see that you pay for this. I'll see that you suffer I" Pearson was actually sorry for her. Rago had made Brenda Vail Into a haggard, shrew-like old woman. She looked years beyond her age. Her lined, twisted face was pathetic. "I'm sorry," he said sincerely. "I shouldn't have done it. There were reasons but4-well, there's mo xtx going Into that. MJss Vail, I de liberately deceived you and I de servo whatever you think of me But after I've said I'm sorry I'm afraid thero's nothing more to be " "Oh, you think that, do you?" Brenda snapped. "Well, you'll find there's plenty I can do about It. I'll have you arrested. I'm going to make you pay " "I'm afraid you won't be able to do that," the young man said quiet ly. "You see. Miss Vail, I've been a newspaperman too long to take chances where law is concerned. There was no mention of money in my letters. I didn't sign anyone else's name. When you examine those letters closely you'll find there's nothing whatever in them on which you can base charges." "You think I'd believe that? You think I'd even listen to you? We.ll, I'm going to see my lawyer!" "Then you'll only be obliged to pay fees for nothing. It will be rather foolish." , Perhaps Brenda believed biro. Per haps she saw that suddenly every ono of her glamorous dreams had faded. The vision of Brenda Vail, the great scenario writer her name flashing on the silver screen her photograph in newspapers wealth, fame, Influential acquaintances all that had vanished. The woman turn ed away, covering her face with her hands. "We'd better go," Phillips said. "Brenda doesn't want us here, Max." , "Yes, go! I never want to see cither of you again I Get out of my Bight, I- tell you!" Her angry, high-pitched voice folr lowed them out into the hall. Silently the two men entered the elevator and rode to the, ground floor. They stepped out on the street and Phillips was surprised to see how light it was. A little after five o'clock. It seemed hours sinco he had entered Brenda's apart ment but in reality it was less than 45 minutes. "Car'u parked here on the right," Pearson said. They turned a cor ner, got Into the roadster, and Pearson Btarted the engine They had traveled several blocks before either spoke again. Then Dan said: .V The re ,ar., several jjhings about all' this I'don'fe get!" "There's a lot r don't get, either. Guess all I did was to make a. fool of myself." The lines of Phillips' face had hard ened. "You're nob the- only qnol" he said venomously. "Look herel" It was Pearson speaking. . "Don't tell mo if you dor.'t want to but there's one thing I'd like to ask. Are you and Bren da Vail I mean do you ?" "You heard her say she never wanted to see me again, didn't you? Well. I can assure you it's mutual! Whafs more, she never win see me. I'll take care of that all right!" "But what about your play?" "What about your motion picture company? Brenda was explaining to me Just before you came that the play's bo bad the agents laughed as It. Unfortunately, it wasn't sup posed to be comedy. Oh. I've been cettlmr a line on myself all right'-" - Tin Rind of it." Pearson told him. ' "I was beginning to think you'd lost1 your head entirely. That's how I got Into this mix-up. Senseless appar ently. I suppose that's what usually comes from stepping into other peo ple's affairs. But I couldn't stand by and see a dame like this Vail woman put the skids on youl I figured that if I could cet her interested In do ing to Hollywood make her think she had a chance at the big dough she s, well, show up in her true colors. She's vain, of course. Terribly vain. You see I took the trouble to look up Brenda Vail rather thoroughly' . "How'd you do that?" "Oh, sent a couple wires. You 1 didn't happen to know about Bren da's marriage, did you?" . "Married? But she a notr ?" "No, she Isn't married xiow.

At any rate she hasn't had a thing published since his death." Phillips' lips tightened but be did not speak... ' "Listen, Don," 'Pearson- went oil "X hope you're not sore about what I tried to do. Suppose I should have known the thing was silly but it seemed to work. At least she fell for those letters. I wouldn't have tried such a thing if I hadn't known about the phoney game Brenda pulled."
